No case for Jais to hold bibles, say lawyers


PETALING JAYA: There is no case for the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) and the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) to hold on to the 321 Bibles seized from the Bible Society of Malaysia, say constitutional lawyers.

Constitutional lawyer New Sin Yew told the Star Online that "The A-G had given them legal advice and they should follow the A-G's advice. Jais and Mais should stop justifying the unjustifiable," said New.
