Kota Kinabalu: Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Datuk Dr Ariffin Mohd Arif suggested religious departments and agencies in the State increase the programmes and Islamic arts.

He said it is vital to bring back the richness and beauty of Islamic art heritage among the community, especially the young generation so that it is not lost in time.

“Any activity involving Islamic art needs to be ‘revived’ by religious departments and agencies for the community, especially the youth.

“It is to ensure that the pride of the Muslim community is able to grow in Sabah,” he said after officiating the Islamic Arts Carnival and MUJAS Sports Games at Dewan Saadah Muis, on July 3.

Also present were Muis President, Datuk Yahya Hussin, Director of Sabah State Islamic Religious Affairs Department (JHEAINS), Datuk Saifulzaman Sangul and State Mufti, Datuk Bongsu @Aziz Jaafar.
