The PAS Syura Council reportedly will not reconsider its decision that non-Muslims may not use the word "Allah" as translation for "God" in Malay-language bibles.

It was commenting on DAP chairperson Karpal Singh's statement yesterday urging the council to rethink its stance.

"The Syura Council decision is final and there will be no second decision," the council's secretary Nik Zawawi Nik Salleh reportedly said.

NONE"He (Karpal) must understand. In PAS, it is the Syura Council that decides on policy issues and the ‘Allah' issue is a policy issue," he was quoted in the Malay-language daily Sinar Harian today.

He also reportedly chided the Bukit Gelugor MP on his apparent lack of understanding of how PAS is organised.

"Ikut pandai dialah (Leave him be), I can't be bothered to comment on this issue anymore. The decision is final."

Previously, the same daily quoted Karpal (left) urging PAS to consider Pakatan Rakyat's consensus to allow the translation to be used, and not the Syura Council decision.

"Pakatan Rakyat is a large organisation whereas the Syura Council is just PAS," he was quoted saying in the daily yesterday.
