MIRI: The Home Ministry is ready to assist in investigating an Indonesian man who has claimed to be Imam Mahdi (the prophesied redeemer of Islam).
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic) said that the ministry was fully aware and respected that religion was a state matter, but said if it was asked by the Islamic Development Department of Malaysia (Jakim) to take appropriate action against the man, it was ready to do so.
