A proposal by three state assemblypersons from DAP to amend a law barring the use of the term "Allah" by non-Muslims is not the official stance of Selangor Pakatan Rakyat.
 
Selangor DAP chief Tony Pua said Selangor Pakatan has not come to a consensus on the issue but added that the trio had a right to voice their opinions on the matter.
 
"Selangor DAP will be meeting with its partners to discuss various solutions to the crisis and come out with a consensus statement if possible," he told a press conference in Petaling Jaya this afternoon.
 
On Jan 3, the three assemblypersons - Yeo Bee Yin (Damansara Utama), R Rajiv (Bukit Gasing) and Lau Weng San (Bukit Tunku) - issued a joint statement, proposing the amendment of the Selangor Non-Islamic Religions (Control of Propagation Among Muslims) Enactment 1988.
 
The trio had proposed that the law be amended in view of the Selangor Islamic Department (Jais) raid on the Bible Society of Malaysia (BSM) headquarters on Jan 1.
 
During the raid, Jais confiscated over 300 copies of the Bible which contained the word "Allah" and arrested two of BSM's officers, who are non-Muslims and thus should not be subjected to Jais' authority.
 
The three state assemblypersons argued the law should be amended to protect non-Muslims while preventing infringements on the rights of non-Muslims, which would be in direct violation of the Federal Constitution.
