Malaysia illustrated the implementation of PAA with reference to two major rallies where the police had adhered fully to the spirit of PAA by facilitating the rallies with effective crowd control to prevent untoward incidents. 66. The delegation further discussed the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religion in Malaysia which is subject to the constitutional restrictions pertaining to the propagation of other religions or beliefs on Muslims and the preservation of public order and national security. Malaysia explained the recent Court of Appeal decision dated 14 October 2013 on the case concerning the Herald – the Catholic weekly: the Court decided clearly that the Minister’s decision to ban the use of the word “ALLAH” in the Malay version of the Herald is constitutional and legal. The Court ruled that the Minister’s decision was based on legitimate grounds of public safety and public order as such action raised religious sensitivities in Malaysia. The Minister’s decision as a preventive measure to ensure public safety and public order in Malaysia is legal and also in compliance with the laws to control and restrict the propagation of religious doctrine or belief among Muslims. 67. Malaysia also explained its initiatives concerning in-depth research on the death penalty. It further clarified that the proposed National Harmony Bill was being deliberated 7
