PETALING JAYA: The National Patriots Association (Patriot) has rejected a Muslim group's petition to declare Malaysia an Islamic state, saying that the Federal Constitution must remain as the founding fathers intended.

President Brig-Jen (Rtd) Datuk Mohamed Arshad Raji said any suggestion to amend the Constitution should be for making it more democratic and not more autocratic.
