The fate of the seized Iban and Malay language copies of the Bible remains uncertain as Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim keeps the people guessing over the progress of the situation.
Khalid, who chaired the exco meeting earlier, said he had met the attorney-general (AG) and it is in the “process of being implemented” at present.
“There is a resolution and now it is in the process of implementation. I cannot give more comments as it has already begun. I will announce it later,” he said.
Some 321 copies of the Bible were seized from the Bible Society of Malaysia’s office last January.
It was previously reported that the AG had decided "no further action" in the case and that legal action it would not be instituted.
This was followed with Khalid directing his executive council members to work together with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) and the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) to look into returning the seized holy books.
However, Jais and Mais declined to return the copies.
