Unisex salon ban: tackle issue with wisdom, T’ganu told - superadmin - 12-04-2022 KUALA LUMPUR – The Terengganu government has been urged to handle the ban on unisex salons with wisdom to prevent tarnishing the reputation of the Islamic religion. National Dakwah Council chairman, Prof Emeritus Datuk Mahmood Zuhdi Abd Majid, said though the decision should be supported, the position of non-Muslim business owners who have suffered losses as a result of the prohibition must also be considered. He said the Terengganu government should find a suitable solution or give flexibility to non-Muslim unisex salon operators based on individual circumstances. “This is so that we are not antagonised by non-Muslims in implementing basic laws and the Islamic culture in our society,” he told The Vibes’ Bahasa Malaysia sister publication, Getaran. He explained that immediate implementation would be inappropriate in a country as culturally and religiously diverse as Malaysia. - More -
