Don't be over excited about politics and disgrace the mosque: Raja of Perlis

KANGAR: The Raja of Perlis Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Putra Jamalullail has called on the people not to take their political issues into mosques and suraus, disrupting unity, especially with the coming 14th General Election.
He said the election is only once every five years but in their eagerness to gain the support of the people, politicians forget the fundamentals and disgrace the institution of the mosque.
"I also urge the people not to be influenced or carried away by politics and neglect ties in religion," Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin said when officiating the 2018 state-level Quran Recital Assembly here last night.
He also urged the people to read the Quran every day so that it could help build good characters and healthy families while obtaining blessings in life.
Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin also commented on the social media which was used to spread unverified information.
He said the spread of false news on the social media was a disease that could have various implications on the people and nation.
Also present at the event were the Raja Perempuan of Perlis Tuanku Tengku Fauziah Tengku Abdul Rashid, Raja Muda of Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail and Raja Puan Muda of Perlis Tuanku Hajah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil.
The Mentri Besar of Perlis Datuk Seri Azlan Man and Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Dr Shahidan Kassim were also present. — Bernama
