PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has denied claims that Putrajaya did not consult the Conference of Rulers and the state religious councils before deciding to withdraw its appeal against a ruling on a Sarawakian woman’s right to use “Allah” in her religious learning.
The Malay rulers had decided that the word "Allah" cannot be used by non-Muslims in the Peninsula while conditional usage is allowed in the Borneo states of Sabah and Sarawak.
