Mujahid: Jail for those who insult religion and race


PETALING JAYA: With the introduction of new laws, those guilty of humiliating religion and race can face a jail sentence of up to seven years or a fine of RM100,000, said Datuk Dr Mujahid Yusuf Rawa.

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department in charge of religious affairs was referring to the three new Bills – the Anti-Discrimination Act, National Harmony and Reconciliation Commission Act and the Religious and Racial Hatred Act, which will be tabled in Parliament soon.
