There was no reason to bar Muslims in Johor from visiting houses of worship of other faiths or participating in their festivals as long as they do not take part in non-Islamic rituals or prayers, said Johor ruler Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar.
"This is very clear and I have complete trust in Muslims because their faith is strong and unshakable. I do not wish to dwell at length here.
"There is no need for any kind of polemic over this," said Sultan Ibrahim in an interview with The Star.
He said guidelines issued by the palace and the Johor Islamic Religious Council (MAIJ) were clear on the matter.
