Yesterday, it was reported that unhappiness was brewing among PH leaders in Selangor over a proposed amendment to allow the unilateral conversion of minors to Islam in the state.
A source told FMT that the speculation is that the proposed amendment on unilateral conversions is to strengthen certain leaders’ political power among the Malay voters as cracks between PKR president Anwar Ibrahim and his number 2, Mohamed Azmin Ali, emerged after a gay sex video surfaced in June.
Earlier today, Ng had denied he had adjourned the state assembly sitting earlier due to his dissatisfaction over the proposed amendment.
Ng said that the bill was never in the order paper to begin with.
