Not a moves to antagonise LGBT - Pahang Mufti

 
KUANTAN – Awareness campaigns on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) should not be seen as a move to antagonise any party.
Pahang Mufti Datuk Seri Dr. Abdul Rahman Othman said various campaigns currently underway by non-governmental organisations (NGO) were just reminders that LGBT activities were forbidden in Islam and cursed by God.
"All these campaigns are aimed at asking this group to stop all claims because these activities are wrong in Islam and are cursed by God.
"We do not want to be hostile to anyone but we want these activities to be stopped because they are forbidden by God and we are fearful of the agony and calamity as had happened in the days of Prophet Luth, as narrated in the Quran," he said, Bernama reported..
Abdul Rahman was speaking to reporters after launching a campaign on the dangers of LGBT organised by the Persatuan Kebajikan Ukhuwah and Silaturrahim Pahang (UKHWAH) at the Urban Transformation Centre Square. 
Also present at the campaign were Kuantan District Kadi Abdul Zaki Md Zain and UKHWAH president, Zulkefly Senek.
Abdul Rahman said the campaign organised by UKHWAH was seen as a good approach to educate and provide information to the public on LGBT.
"The Pahang Mufti Department welcomes the work done by UKHWAH and NGO because this issue is perceived as dangerous to human moral development.
"I see today's meeting is welcomed by the public including those who are non-Muslims and this shows a positive sign in avoiding the phenomena from continuing to be rampant in society," he said.
The Pahang Mufti Department and Pahang Islamic Religious Department were ready to work with any NGO wishing to carry out such campaigns in the future.
"In addition, we also plan to provide a special place to provide explanations, advice and counselling on LGBT to anyone who wants to solve problems or confusions," he said.

Proton SUV open for booking at RM1,000

KUALA LUMPUR -- National car maker, Proton Holdings Bhd, is adopting an alphanumerical naming system for its future models beginning with the X70, its first sport utility vehicle (SUV). Sales and Marketing Vice-President Abdul Rashid Musa said the letter X is synonymous with crossover or SUV vehicles, while the number 70 denoted the size or class of the SUV and would enable Proton to adopt a logical system to add bigger or smaller models in the future. “This is the first time an alphanumerical naming system is used on a Proton model as our research shows it will make it easier to sell in ASEAN and other international markets, as there are no language barriers to overcome,” he told reporters at the preview of the new SUV.
