Police have quizzed eight pastors who were present at the gathering in Penang that Utusan Malaysia had alleged to have hatched a so-called 'conspiracy' to make Christianity the official religion.
Speaking to reporters in Kuala Lumpur, Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi who was present at the dinner last weekend where the 'plot' was supposedly hatched, said that the pastors were called up in the week following his police report on May 8 denying the Malay daily's claims and the police's questions to the pastors suggests confusion of the authorities over the manner of Christian worship with the taking of a pledge.

Ooi said, "That is common sense and to allude that I was the organiser to call for such a pledge - they should take note that I am a practicing Buddhist."
Yesterday,Mohamed Razali, a member of DAP's Jelutong branch, had lodged a police report on the controversy.
