MALACCA: Four non-Muslims including an Iranian were arrested on suspicion of trying to spread propaganda books on non-Muslim teachings in Taman Kebaya Paya Datok, Alor Gajah, here yesterday.
State Islamic Religious Department (JAIM) enforcement chief Rahimin Bani said the three men and a woman, aged between 20 and 43, were nabbed at 4.30pm.
