Quranic verse interpretation: police record statement from Howard Lee

MP has publicly apologised for his interpretation of al-Quran verse, clarifying he had no intention of offending Muslim community

KUALA LUMPUR – Police have recorded a statement from Ipoh Timur MP Howard Lee Chuan How today to assist investigations over allegations that Lee had insulted Islam through his own interpretation of the Quranic verse (Surah An Nisa’ ayat 59).

Bukit Aman Crime Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said the statement from Lee was recorded at 3pm in Ipoh, Perak, yesterday under Section 112 of the Criminal Procedure Act.

“Once investigations are completed, the papers will be submitted to the Attorney-General’s Office,” he said in a statement last night.

Shuhaily urged members of the public to use social media wisely and not use such platforms for issues that can be offensive or sensitive, like the 3Rs (race, religion, royalty).

He warned that action will be taken against anyone who is deemed to have been detrimental to the peace and harmony or the security of the country.

Yesterday, Lee apologised openly for his statement, which was his own interpretation of the al-Quran verse, through a video clip on his social media.

Lee reiterated that he had no intention to touch on the sensitivity of the Muslim community.

Perak Jabat president Amiruddin Mohd Daud reportedly said the organisation had lodged a police report seeking an investigation and action to be taken against Lee as they viewed his actions as an insult to Islam as the MP was not a Muslim but had made his own interpretation of a Quran verse, which they deemed was a 3R (race, religion, royalty) issue. – September 27, 2023
