The Minister in the Prime Minister s Department (Religious Affairs) said this was similar to how Malaysia does not acknowledge the LGBTQ (lesbians, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) community.
He said that the government s stand had to be emphasised when delivering his message during an online conference with members of the Third Gender Implications Research Committee. My principle is arguments need to be answered with arguments. So, a thorough argument needs to be put forward, he said in a Facebook post on Friday (June 25).
Zulkifli said the conference was organised by the Department of Islamic development Malaysia (Jakim).
In February, Zulkifli was reported to have said that Malaysia rejected the foreign policy of the United States new administration that promoted LGBTQ rights.
