Fahmi Fadzil Denies Discussing State Election Matters at Mosque Talk

Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil has stated his readiness to cooperate with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) if summoned for questioning regarding allegations of delivering a political speech at a mosque in Rawang. He explicitly clarified that his address at the Nurul Yaqin mosque did not involve any political discussions or references to the state elections.
Clarification of Talk's Content

Fahmi Fadzil addressed the allegations on social media platforms, Facebook and Twitter, explaining that he was invited by the mosque committee. His purpose was to clarify the government's decision to ban the band The 1975 and the subsequent cancellation of the Good Vibes concert. He emphasised that the content of his talk was solely focused on these issues and contained no political commentary.
Stated Purpose of Mosque Visit

The Minister confirmed that he was invited by the mosque committee to provide an explanation regarding the actions taken against The 1975 and the Good Vibes concert. This invitation, he indicated, was to inform the congregation about a significant public interest matter rather than to engage in political discourse. He expressed regret that the event was being politicised by certain groups.
Allegations and Jais's Involvement

Reports emerged of pictures circulating online showing Fahmi at the mosque, accompanied by captions suggesting he had discussed political issues. Following these reports, Jais confirmed receiving complaints and had begun gathering statements, including from the mosque's guardian. Fahmi's response serves as his official clarification to these claims.
