Religious scholars have important role in govt polices, says Zahid


PUTRAJAYA: Religious scholars play an important role in a government because they act as a reference group before a policy is implemented, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic).

In delivering a welcoming speech at the Liqa' Perdana Ilmuwan Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah ceremony at his official residence Sri Satria here on Friday (Feb 17) night, Ahmad Zahid said that scholars’ views can ensure the direction in policies guided by the Quran and Sunnah (Islamic practices) so that all efforts made achieve the set goals.
