SPORT BETTING LICENSE AFFECTS ALL MALAYSIANS, DISREGARDING RACE & RELIGION

Yesterday, I attended a dialogue with Kedah's PAS Youth, DAPSY, AMK and other 22 NGOs to request the government to retract the license for sports betting.

In there, I stressed that it is important to look beyond our political differences and religion, as the matter affects the interest of all Malaysians.

If the government considers cancelling the license, it should be on the grounds of social illness to Malaysians, and not solely based on the principles of Islam.

In conclusion, I made a joint press statement along with Kedah PAS Youth, DAPSY, AMK and the other 22 NGOs to request the government to retract the license for sports betting, looking at the implications on Malaysians disregarding race & religion.
