KUALA TERENGGANU, Malaysia - The Department of Islamic Development of
Malaysia (Jakim) will conduct a thorough investigation on the organising
of the 'I Want To Touch A Dog' event that took place at Central Park,
One Utama near Petaling Jaya on Sunday.
Jakim director-general Datuk Othman Mustapha(photo) said the event should
not have taken place and Jakim regretted the irresponsible attitude of
the organisers who were not concerned with the sensitivities of Muslims
in the country.
"This event has never been held previously and is the first time being exposed to the community.
“We are Muslims and our religion has stated clearly the penalty regarding dogs.
"Jakim will investigate the matter immediately and any action will be
referred to the existing provisions," he told reporters after
officiating the national level religious school principals conference
here Sunday night.
He was commenting on the organising of the programme that received
overwhelming response from Muslims in and around the federal capital.
