IPOH – Elected representatives in Perak have been reminded that they are not allowed to hold talks in mosques and surau in the state.

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad said it was also to respect Sultan Nazrin Shah’s decree on preserving the sanctity of Muslim houses of worship.

“The circular issued clearly states that no politician is allowed to speak in a surau or mosque, including myself,” he said after appearing as a guest in the “Selamat Pagi Cikgu Saarani” radio programme, produced by PerakFM here today.

Meanwhile, Saarani said the state budget that will be tabled at the legislative assembly next week focuses on matters related to food security, entrepreneurial opportunities, business and people’s welfare in line with the Perak Sejahtera 2030 Plan. – Bernama, December 13, 2022
