Amend Federal Constitution so only Sunnis are recognised as Muslims, suggests Penang Umno delegate


KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Constitution should be amended to clarify that Muslims in Malaysia are those who adhere to the practice of the Sunnah Wal Jamaah, the mainstream teachings of the Al-Quran and the Sunnah, a Penang delegate suggested at the Umno General Assembly 2013.

Datuk Shabudin Yahaya, who proposed the motion on religion and education, said it was high time the Constitution was amended to deny deviants the right to call themselves Muslims.
