On the 5th of February 2025, the Star Online reports from Malaysia, “New rules proposed for Muslims attending non-Muslim events, funerals or houses of worship”.

From the article:

> Event organisers must get the authorities’ approval and the views of Islamic authorities when inviting leaders or Muslims for festive events, funerals or events held in non-Muslim houses of worship.

> These were among the updates to existing guidelines involving Muslims in such gatherings, to be finalised by the Muzakarah Committee of the National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs (MKI) at month’s end.
