PETALING JAYA: There is nothing wrong with visiting houses of worship of other faiths, says Sarawak’s tourism, creative industry and performing arts minister.

“It doesn’t make you less Muslim if you were to visit a church or a temple. It doesn’t make you change your faith,” Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah told reporters after an event in Kuching today. Karim was commenting on recent attacks towards youth and sports minister Hannah Yeoh for her ministry’s involvement in the “Jom Ziarah Gereja” programme.

“Don’t tell me the Muslims are so low in their faith that they will become Christians just by taking them to church,” he said.“It is not as simple as that.” Last week, Yeoh’s aide lodged a police report against Badrul Hisham Shaharin, better known as Chegubard, after the latter linked Impact Malaysia, a non-profit organisation under the ministry, to Christian evangelism.
