There are no plans to carry out a study on abolishing the religious status of a person on the identity card, the Home Ministry said today.
The ministry released the statement today following a video and text message over the matter which had gone viral on WhatsApp.
The ministry said the recording of religious details on the identity card was implemented by the National Registration Department in accordance with Regulation 4 (cc) of the National Registration Regulations 1990 (PPPN 1990).
"Recording the detail of ‘Islam’ on the front of the identity card is in accordance with the First Schedule, Regulation 5 (2) of the PPPN 1990. Whereas for non-Muslims, the detail on religion is only included in the chip," he said. - Mkini
