Johor sultan order religious council to probe anti-Rohingya banner

The Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar has directed the Johor Islamic Religious Council (MAINJ) and the Penghulu’s Office to conduct a detailed investigation into the issue of an anti-Rohingya banner which had gone viral on social media recently.

Sultan Ibrahim in a posting on his Facebook page today said he also wanted everyone to stop spreading rumours and speculation on the issue as such actions would only create a negative perception among the people.

“The issue of the anti-Rohingya banner, which has been trending on social media recently, has triggered a number of negative reactions, especially against mosques and surau in the area.

“Therefore, I have directed MAINJ and the Penghulu’s Office to conduct a detailed investigation and report back to me directly,” Sultan Ibrahim said in the post.

The putting up of an anti-Rohingya banner reading: "Kami Tak Perlukan Anda Disini” (We Don't Need You Here) near a mosque in Plentong, Johor Bahru recently, went viral on social media.

Sultan Ibrahim also advised all parties not to make any irresponsible statements on social media as this may unknowingly lead to slander.

"And (remember), slander is a greater (sin) than murder,” he said, quoting verse number 217 of Surah Al-Baqarah from the Quran. - Bernama
