KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 23 — The decision regarding the doctrine of GISB Holdings (GISBH) will only be known after receiving the consent of the Conference of Rulers, which will convene in October, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Mohd Na’im Mokhtar.
He said the National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs (MKI) Muzakarah Committee, chaired by Datuk Nooh Gadot and attended by state muftis, will meet to discuss the matter from tomorrow until Thursday before consent is sought.
“A special paper prepared by Jakim (Islamic Development Department) on GISBH will be presented to the committee from tomorrow until September 26 in Terengganu. The committee will decide on the matter of GISBH,” he told reporters after the pre-launch of the 64th International Quran Recitation and Memorisation Assembly here today.
He added that the MKI Muzakarah Committee’s decision on the matter will be presented to MKI chairman, Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah, and deputy chairman Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, before it is presented to the Conference of Rulers.
“We can expect a decision by October… We have acted swiftly to bring this paper into discussion tomorrow,” he said.
