Home Ministry to present evidence of Mat Sabu’s Shia link to Jakim

The Home Ministry will present all solid evidence linking PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu to the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) for further action.

Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic) said this was because the case had entered the enforcement stage.

"All evidence, including the Grade A evidence, will be presented to Jakim because we (ministry) are involved in security issues. As for matters concerning faith, we will leave it to the religious authorities," he told reporters after opening the Bagan Datoh Water Sports Carnival today.

Ahmad Zahid said any action on Shia-related cases would also be taken by Jakim and state religious councils.

Prior to this, the ministry had announced 10 Grade B evidence on Mohamad's involvement in Shia sect, while the more solid evidence, deemed Grade A, had yet to be made public. – Bernama
