KOTA BAHARU: The Publication and Quranic Text Control Division of the Home Ministry is investigating the disposal of a trailer load of Quran in Bachok Thursday.

Its state director Mohd Zaid Mohd Yusoff the incident was brought up at a meeting at the division’s headquarters in Putrajaya yesterday and a special committee was set up to investigate the incident.

The disposal of unusable copies of Quran must adhere to the ministry’s procedures, he said when commenting on the dumping of misprinted copies of Quran by a trailer driver in a shrubby area in Kampung Pak Endeng, Pauh Sembilan near Bachok last Thursday.

Kelantan deputy mufti Datuk Nik Abdul Kadir Nik Mohamad said it was a sin for Muslims not to respect the Quran. — Bernama
