PETALING JAYA: Perlis Mufti Datuk Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin (pic) has apologised to the local Hindu community over a controversial “cow worship” poem posted on his Facebook page.  

"To non-Muslims who are not involved in this issue, particularly to Hindus who may have misunderstood the meaning of my poem, I sincerely apologise. I never meant to refer to Hindus who are not involved in this issue," he said on Monday.
