The Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir today expressed his disappointment with the high number of Muslims involved in social problems and crime in the state.
He said based on statistics, more than 90% of arrests for drug-related offences involved Muslims, especially in the Felda area in Jempol.
He said as for rape cases, 64 of the 83 suspects arrested were Muslims. For incest cases, he said, nine out of 10 cases reported this year involved Muslims
“Muslim teenagers in Malaysia are also known for illegal motorcycle racing and they are known as Mat Rempit.
“The Daesh (Islamic State) militant movement recruits Muslims who misinterpret the values in Islam to fight in the name of the religion,” he said at the accreditation of members of the Negeri Sembilan Administrative and Legal Institution here today.
The ceremony was also attended by Tunku Besar Seri Menanti Tunku Ali Redhauddin Tuanku Muhriz and Undang Luak Johol Muhammed Abdullah.
Tuanku Muhriz expressed his confidence in the capabilities of the police and other enforcement agencies in addressing the problem.
“We have to plan now even if the implementation of the programme will only be effective 10 years from now.
“If nothing is done, the bad characters in society will not change forever,” he added.
He also called on the relevant departments to look into other needs that could improve the administration and management of Islam, including construction of new buildings and increasing the number of judges and officers for shariah courts in the state.
“There has been no increase in the number of shariah judges and officers for the past 10 years, while the number of cases is increasing,” he added.
