The quick read

What's driving the attention

The Perlis Mufti is a focal point for controversy and commentary on religious rulings and social issues in Malaysia.

Interest in the Perlis Mufti has surged due to his public statements and actions addressing various religious and social topics. He has declared the shooting of rampaging livestock halal, emphasized the primacy of Tanah Melayu for Malays as the dominant race, discouraged Muslims from keeping dogs at home, and commented that boycotting non-Muslim businesses harms the Malaysian economy. The passing of a former Perlis Mufti, Mat Jahya, also adds historical context to this topic's significance.
