Utusan Malaysia headline on 24 February 2009 was “DAP hina Islam(DAP insult Islam)?”, this was based on the comment by the President of The Penang Islamic Council(MAIPP), Shabudin Yahaya.Shabudin Yahya got his fact wrong when he thought Lim Guan Eng had formed Penang Inter-Religious Consultative Council, what was actually formed was a Penang Goodwill Religious Council.
Yet, it is not surprising that Shabudin got his fact wrong, the Penang government had intentionally bypassed him when forming the Goodwill Religious Council even though he is the President of the influential MAIPP.
Shabudin is coincidently also the BN YB for Permatang Berangan. Hah,hah, hah ...... Therefore, it was natural for the Penang Government that practise partisan politic in religion to conveniently overlook MAIPP.
After his comment on the DAP, probably Shahbudin should be looking over his shoulder more often. For the past six months, PAS in Penang especially PAS Tanjong Youth had consistently brought “longkang and parit plus sampah' issues in Wakaf areas to discredit him. Now, the DAP will also be out to get him.

P.S: Since 308, both KeADILan and PAS want to take control of The Penang Islamic Council (MAIPP) as its vast resources made MAIPP a very powerful and influential organization among the Muslims in Penang.

Pemuda PAS PP elaborate further, that they are OK on dialog but not formation of a council.

Dewan Pemuda PAS Pulau Pinang menentang sebarang usaha untuk menubuhkan majlis perundingan antara agama “dari dulu, sekarang dan sampai bila-bila”, kata ketuanya, Mohamed Hafiz Mohamed Nordin.
“Kalau dialog agama kita setuju, tetapi bukan (sebagai sebuah) majlis,” katanya kepada Malaysiakini hari ini.
