The Claim

The Majlis Agama Islam Malaysia (MAIM) document titled "Polisi Keselamatan Agama dan Keharmonian Kaum (2020)" states that spreading inaccurate information or information that tends toward slander against a religion or an ethnic group violates Islamic values and threatens social stability.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

The available evidence supports the policy’s substance, though not its exact text. Multiple credible secondary sources describe the MAIM policy as treating inaccurate or slanderous statements about religion or race as contrary to Islamic values and harmful to social harmony or stability. However, no source provided here reproduces the relevant clause from the document itself.

Caveats

  • No accessible primary-text excerpt confirms that this is the document’s exact wording; the claim is supported as a paraphrase, not a verified quotation.
  • Some evidence comes from launch remarks and secondary analyses, which can blur the line between what officials said about the policy and what the written policy explicitly says.
  • The policy’s full scope, definitions, and any qualifiers cannot be checked from the evidence provided.
