presented figures
These statements came at a time when questions were being raised in Parliament on LGBT trends, in which aspects like age, community and possible reasons were being discussed. Responding, the minister said that between 2022 and 2025, arrests or legal action were registered 135 times in such cases. It was also told that in Malaysia, same-sex relationships are considered a crime under the law.
joke made on social media
As soon as the statement came out, people gave different types of reactions on social media. Where one user said, ‘Boss, today I am feeling gay, can I take half day?’ Whereas another user commented and said, ‘By this logic, half the country should have become LGBT by now.’ While one said, ‘Wow, what a wonderful discovery this is from the Religion Minister.’
Objection from human rights organizations
Organizations active for the rights of the LGBTQ community termed the minister’s statement as wrong and misleading. He says that many global organizations including the World Health Organization have made it clear that a person’s sexual identity is part of his nature. It is not right to link it to external pressure. These groups have demanded that the minister withdraw his statement and give correct information.
Why did the controversy increase?
Opponents say that such things make people think that one’s sexual identity can be changed, whereas doctors and scientists consider this to be completely wrong. For this reason, this issue is no longer limited to just a comment, but has become a topic of major discussion to rights and science.
