Kabinet buat keputusan kalimah Allah boleh dipakai di Sabah dan Sarawak...
Kalimah ‘Allah’ boleh digunakan oleh penganut Kristian di Sabah dan Sarawak dalam upacara ibadat mereka, termasuk di dalam kitab Bible versi Bahasa Melayu, kata seorang menteri Kabinet.
Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Joseph Kurup dipetik sebagai berkata Kabinet membuat keputusan itu dalam mesyuaratnya semalam.
Beliau berkata Kabinet memutuskan untuk berpegang kepada penyelesaian 10 perkara, yang membenarkan pengimportan dan pencetakan Bible dalam mana-mana bahasa di Malaysia, termasuk al-Kitab yang menggunakan kalimah ‘Allah’.
"Kabinet telah membincangkan keputusan Mahkamah Rayuan kerana isu ini menimbulkan rasa tidak puas hati dan kebimbangan di kalangan penganut Kristian di Sabah dan Sarawak.
"Mereka bimbang Bible Bahasa Melayu yang menggunakan kalimah ‘Alah’ akan diharamkan. Justeru Kabinet merasakan perlu ada penjelasan,” beliau dipetik oleh akhbar Sin Chew Jit Poh.
Kurup menambah Kabinet akan mengikuti kes berkenaan dengan teliti, disebabkan oleh tahap kebimbangan yang timbul di kalangan masyarakat.
Penyelesaian 10 perkara, antara lain juga menyatakan tidak ada halangan bagi penganut Kristian untuk membawa Bible dalam apa bahasa dari Sabah dan Sarawak ke Semenanjung.
Bagaimanapun, Bible dalam Bahasa Melayu atau Indonesia yang dibawa masuk atau dicetak di semenanjung mestilah dicetak dengan perkataan ‘Penerbitan Kristian’ pada muka hadapannya.
Mahkamah Rayuan pada Isnin lalu membatalkan keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi yang membenarkan penerbitan Katolik, The Herald menggunakan kalimah ‘Allah’ di dalam versi Bahasa Melayunya.
Keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi pada 31 Disember 2009 itu membawa kepada serangan ke atas tempat ibadat penganut Kristian dan Sikh.
The Herald akan merayu terhadap keputusan Mahkamah Rayuan itu di Mahkamah Persekutuan.

Sabah, Sarawak Christians free to use 'Allah', says gov't...
The word 'Allah' can be used by Sabahan and Sarawakian Christians in their worship, including in the Malay-language bible al-Kitab, the government has said.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Joseph Kurup was reported by Sin Chew Daily as saying that this was decided by the cabinet in their meeting yesterday.
He said the cabinet decided to fall back on the 10-point solution, which allows for the importation into and printing of Bibles of any language in Malaysia, including al-Kitab which uses the word ‘Allah'.
"The cabinet has discussed the Court of Appeal decision because this issue has created much dissatisfaction and worry among Sabah and Sarawak Christians.
"They are worried if the Malay-language Bible that uses the word 'Allah' will be banned. Therefore the cabinet feels there is a need to clarify," he was quoted by Sin Chew as saying.
He added that the cabinet will also follow the case closely, due to the level of concern it has raised among the public.
Among others, the 10-point solution also states that there is no prohibition on Christians from carrying Bibles of any language from Sabah and Sarawak into the peninsula.
However, Bahasa Malaysia or Bahasa Indonesia Bibles brought into or printed in the peninsula must have the words 'Christian Publication' and a cross printed on its front cover.
The Court of Appeal on Monday overturned a High Court decision which allowed Catholic publication The Herald to use the word 'Allah' in its Malay-language edition.
The High Court decision in Dec 31, 2009 led to scattered attacks against Christian and Sikh places of worship.
