00:00Amno's Ulama Council has reminded non-Muslim ministers to be more careful when commenting

00:07on issues related to Islam and Muslims.

00:09In a statement, the council said such ministers should exercise caution so as to avoid negative

00:15perceptions that could be manipulated by certain parties to provoke religious sensitivities.

00:21The council cited two issues, namely the sale of pre-packed chicken, ham and cheese sandwiches

00:26with an allegedly misused halal logo, sold on University Malaya's campus, as well as

00:31the sale of alcohol in predominantly Muslim areas in Ipoh.

00:36Although Housing and Local Government Minister Ngah Khormeng waded into both controversies,

00:40the council did not explicitly mention him in their statement.

00:44DAP Vice-Chairman Ngah previously accused certain quarters of making a fuss about the

00:49sandwiches, stating that ham simply referred to meat that had been cured.

00:53Ngah also advised local authorities to maintain existing guidelines on the sale of liquor

00:58and alcoholic beverages in response to the Ipoh City Council's proposal to expand its

01:03ban on the sale of liquor and alcoholic beverages in Malay Muslim-majority areas.
