Sultan concerned over deviant teachings in S’gor

SHAH ALAM: The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has expressed concern at the failure to fully eradicate deviant teachings in Selangor.

He said he did not want the people of Selangor to fall into situations which could undermine their religious faith and practices due to the subtle influence of misguided individuals with vested interest.

More worrying, he said, was when unity, oneness and harmony of community life started to disappear.

“The feeling of mutual respect, kinship and love are eroded due to endless political sentiments while the culture of slander and exposing the shortcomings of others become widespread in society.

“Defamation in the era of information technology and a borderless world, is a thorn in the side to the wellbeing of society. The country and also powerful empires can be destroyed by slander,” he said when closing a state-level Mosque Officials, Takmir, and Quran and Fardu Ain Class Teachers’ Conference, here, yesterday. - Bernama
