Publishers of Quran want hologram ruling dropped

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian publishers of the Quran have urged the Home Ministry to scrap a new requirement for security holograms to be affixed on each copy of the Islamic holy book.

Sabariah Abdullah, pro tem president of the Al-Quran Publishers Association of Malaysia said the ruling, which came into effect yesterday, was not an effective way to ensure all copies were genuine and free from errors.
