YANG di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah has called on Malaysians to avoid creating polemics and political disputes out of religious issues.
Al-Sultan Abdullah said all parties must respect the position of Islam as the religion of the Federation, as stated in Article 3 of the Federal Constitution, and must also respect the position of the Malay Rulers as the heads of Islam in their respective states.
