Churches to continue using the word 'Allah'

PETALING JAYA: Christian churches throughout the country will continue to use the word “Allah” in worship, liturgy, prayers and educational materials as the court ruling affects only The Herald, said Christian Federation of Malaysia’s (CFM) president Rev Dr Eu Hong Seng.

He said the Court of Appeal’s decision does not appear to cover the use of “Allah” in the Bahasa Malaysia Bible, while the Govern-ment’s 10-point solution on the permitted use of such Bibles was still applicable.
