Spying on Muslims only
KUALA TERENGGANU: Tip-offs by Mat Skoding are confined to wrongdoings committed by Muslims, the state government explained yesterday.
State Islam Hadhari and Welfare Committee chairman Datuk Rosol Wahid said he wanted to emphasise this to avoid any misunderstanding.
He said the Mat Skoding, part of a voluntary squad under the guidance of state religious advisers, had no right to apprehend people.
This had been clarified to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who called from Jakarta yesterday to speak with Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh.
The strategy of using the voluntary corps to provide tip-offs had been used for almost a decade, Rosol said. The Mat Skoding comprise, among others, hotel workers and those employed at locations where immoral activities are likely to occur.
“This (vigilance by Mat Skoding) is not a new practice,'' he told a specially called press conference to explain a report in The Star on Tuesday on the Mat Skoding issue.
Rosol was reported to have said that to avert soaring cases of close proximity and vice, the Terengganu Government would use Mat Skoding to tip-off religious department officials.
His statement has drawn flak from many quarters, with some describing it as repulsive.
