PETALING JAYA: Freedom of religion is provided under Article 11 of the Federal Constitution, says the Malaysian Buddhist Consultative Council (MBCC). MBCC said this has created feelings of unease and even trepidation as it could lead to the deterioration of non-Muslims rights to freedom of religion as enshrined in the Federal Constitution. "It ironically contradicts YAB Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s concept of Keluarga Malaysia that he propagated in his inaugural speech upon taking office," they said. "May the wisdom of the Prime Minister shine through his leadership for the Keluarga Malaysia concept to be fully implemented at all levels. "May his administration be exemplary in its commitment to uphold the fundamental rights of every citizen provided by the Federal Constitution," they said.
