Kelantan may force Muslims to pray
The PAS Kelantan state government plans to compel Muslim government workers to pray 5 times a day as required by their religion, an official said today.
Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said Muslims who shirk their prayer obligations “are not fearful of Allah and are susceptible to committing bribery and other sins.”
Kelantan is planning to introduce a law to force Muslim government workers to pray 5 times a day, said the MB’s aide Anual Bakri Haron.
He said details on how to enforce the plan will be finalised later.
Kelantan has been ruled since 1990 by the conservative PAS, which has implemented strict morality rules such as banning gambling, nightclubs and rock concerts. — AP
