No need to split religious affairs portfolio, says BN Youth


KOTA KINABALU: There is no need to split the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) into two - one for Islamic affairs and another for non-Islamic, says a Barisan Nasional youth exco member.

Datuk Seri Dr Anil Sandhu (pic) disagreed with the proposal by Raub MP YB Chow Yu Hui to split the portfolio, saying that the current system was able to effectively manage Islamic affairs without impacting the religious freedom of non-Muslims.
