Don't play up political sentiments when explaining issues, PM tells preachers

PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has urged all preachers not to be hasty and play up political sentiments when explaining an issue.

Anwar was referring to an incident involving a preacher who misinterpreted his statement regarding Surah Al-Kahfi of the Quran and the seven ‘Ashabul Kahfi’ (men of the cave) that he mentioned during the Prime Minister’s Department monthly gathering last week.
