This is because the title given by the organiser “Islam does not prevent homosexuals” and “Rewrite of the” is disrespectful to Islam, he said.
“Such matter should not happen, the country upholds and cultivates a culture of caring for and respecting racial and religious sensitivities.
“It is sad that participants in this competition are among Muslim students. In fact, the organiser is also a Muslim and appear to be hostile to Islam itself,” said Mohamad who is Tawau PAS President.
For the record, some parties expressed dissatisfaction with the organiser when choosing a topic that was considered sensitive to Islam.
