KUALA LUMPUR: PAS MP Nik Muhammad Zawawi Salleh today retracted his statement calling the Bible “distorted or altered”, and apologised to Christians.
Zawawi, who made the statement in the Dewan Rakyat in August, said he had no intention of hurting the feelings of Christians when he made the statement during the debate on the Road Transport (Amendment) Bill 2020 to propose heavier fines for drink driving.
Zawawi’s claim that biblical injunctions about drinking alcohol had been “distorted or altered” led to a chorus of protests and condemnation from Christian associations and politicians.
