KUALA LUMPUR - News that Terengganu has decided to arm its religious enforcement officers with guns and firearms have triggered concern and calls for a deeper study rather than taking "impulsive" action.
"Not that I am not concerned about our religious officers but this may not be the right solution.
For me guns should be handled only by certain groups such as the police or the security forces," Ahmad Zamri Asa'ad Khuzaimi, a prominent Syariah lawyer, told Malaysia Chronicle.
"We should not make such serious decisions based on just one one of two incidents. Can you imagine, if it goes wrong, there can be very dangerous consequences."
