Legal for cops to give talk against Christian conversion: IGP

There is no law preventing police from attending or giving seminars on alleged Christianisation, said inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar.

"I want to ask you, are there any laws saying that (police attending such a seminar) is wrong?

"We can be anywhere and we are always everywhere," he told reporters in Kuala Lumpur.

Khalid was asked why police conducted the 'Ancaman Gerakan Pemuradan Kristianisasi' seminar at UiTM Lendu last weekend.

Malacca police earlier confirmed that a Special Branch officer gave the talk, but said it was to strengthen the faith of Muslims.

A participant told Malaysiakini, students were told that Christians use the "gold, glory, gospel" approach to proselytise Muslims.

UiTM Shah Alam was also condemned last year for holding a seminar where participants were told that undercover Christian preachers are sent to Malaysia to convert Muslims.
