“You must remember that the country does not belong to the Muslims. There are things that sometimes non-Muslims do, for example, gambling. It is their culture, their way of life and we have to respect their rights. “Jangan semua undang-undang berdasarkan keperluan orang Islam sahaja (All laws in the country cannot be based on only the needs of Muslims),” Nazri told The Malaysian Insider this week.
The issue here is not about enacting a law against non-Muslims' betting. The issue here is about the issuance of sports betting licence. Legalising sports betting will make things worse as both illegal and legalised betting will thrive together. I know of people who buy illegal empat ekor. Why is Nazri so concerned about the non-Muslims' rights to bet? So that the government can get money into its coffers? How about non-Muslim's rights to religion - specifically the right to use the word 'Allah'? Finally, click here to read 'Yes, let's give the Chinese what they want' by Raja Petra.
