Patriot rejects petition to declare Malaysia an Islamic state

PETALING JAYA: Yet another group has come out to reject a Muslim group’s petition to declare Malaysia an Islamic state, saying that the Federal Constitution must remain as the founding fathers intended.

The National Patriots Association (Patriot) president Brig-Jen (Rtd) Datuk Mohamed Arshad Raji (pic) said any suggestion to amend the Constitution should be for making it more democratic and not more autocratic.
