Jais has talking Bible in its possession, says Hasan Ali

So what if Jais has the "talking Bible"? The talking devices have been in Malaysia for quite a while and were imported for native Christians like the Orang Asli in West Malaysia, Bidayuh and Orang Ulu in Sarawak and other natives in Sabah - 1Christians Malaysia

The Selangor Religious Department (Jais) has evidence of the ‘talking Bible’ - allegedly used for  proselytising to Muslims - in their possession, said Selangor exco member Hasan Ali.

When asked if any action is being taken based on this evidence, the exco member in charge of Islamic religious affairs refused to elaborate further.

“The evidence is in Jais’ possession. So far there is no action yet.

“It’s the same as in the DUMC case, we have not decided on any action yet,” said Hasan (left) at a press conference after a Himpun rally in Seremban today.
“But the important evidence here is the admission of the people who are involved in proselytising.

“I have to submit the evidence from the people affected, but I’m not sure if I will succeed or not as these people are reluctant to come forward and admit it openly,” said Hasan.
However, he did not entertain further questions on his earlier claims that Christians had infiltrated mosques in jubah (robes) in order to get close to Muslims to convert them.

The controversial exco member left the scene abruptly before Malaysiakini could finish the question.

‘Facebook fuelling apostasy’

Later at the same press conference, Malaysiakini asked the Himpun officials to provide the evidence and facts that they promised the media during their press conference last week in Seremban.

Himpun chairperson Azmi Abdul Hamid replied that proselytising is happening not only in Selangor or Negri Sembilan alone, but in other states as well.

“In Penang it has been recorded that 686 Muslims wanted to become apostates.

“We are in the process of documenting all the evidence. The latest trend of apostasy among young Malay girls is a result of networking through Facebook.

“They are attracted to non-Muslims and eventually fall in love with them. This leads them to commit apostasy.

“The Lina Joy case is a clear-cut apostasy case but there was no prosecution,” said Azmi.

Among others who spoke at the anti-apostasy rally were former Negri Sembilan mufti Murtadza Ahmad and Himpun deputy chairperson Abdullah Zaik Abdul Rahman.
