PETALING JAYA: Remain calm in reacting to the withdrawal of the appeal against the decision of the Kuala Lumpur High Court regarding the use of the word "Allah", says Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar.

"The public is advised to remain calm and to take a careful approach in reacting to this issue as it involved legal technicalities, and to avoid being influenced by sentiments that have no basis in order to preserve religious harmony," the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) said in a statement on Tuesday (May 16).
