The Selangor government August 26, launched a new unit aimed at helping poor Muslims avoid "facing the risk" of leaving the faith in pursuit of a better life. <br /> <br />Called "Unit Selamat Aqidah", it will act as a service centre to receive complaints and requests for whatever form of assistance to ease the burden of underprivileged Muslims. <br /> <br />The unit, announced by state exco Hasan Ali, will work closely with the Selangor Zakat Board, which will nominate staff to process applications - which will be approved as long as they fulfill the set terms and conditions. <br /> <br />This is in response to the belief that Muslims have been receiving aid from Christian or church organisations because they had faced rejection for assistance by Muslim-based organisations and by the Zakat boards. <br /> <br />Muslims fear that aid given by Christian-based organisations will expose Muslims to proselytization. <br /> <br />http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/174226
