PETALING JAYA: Sarawak will continue to allow Christians in the state to use “Allah”, as the nation continues to debate over the usage of the Arabic term for God.
In a statement, the office of the chief minister said its policy on religious tolerance in Sarawak remained consistent since the time of Abang Johari Openg’s two predecessors.
There has never been any restriction on the use of the word “Allah” by Christians in Sarawak, it said.
“The Gabungan Parti Sarawak government will continue to defend and preserve Sarawak’s religious tolerance as it is the core unifying factor for the people in the state,” it said in a statement.
