KLANG: Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has directed the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) to apply to intervene in the appeal against the High Court decision allowing Christians to use the word "Allah" in religious publications for educational purposes.

The Selangor Ruler said his stand was in tandem with the Federal Court's decision in the Titular Roman Catholic Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur vs the Home Minister case in 2014 as well as the Selangor edict issued on Feb 18,2010 which states the term "Allah" could not be used to refer to God by religions aside from Islam.
