MB proposes meeting between SIS and Selangor religious authorities

PETALING JAYA: Selangor Mentri Besar Azmin Ali (pic) has proposed a meeting between Sisters in Islam (SIS) and the state’s highest Islamic authorities to iron out the issue of a fatwa on liberalism and pluralism that implicated the feminist group.
