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.

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.

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.

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.

Muslims fear that aid given by Christian-based organisations will expose Muslims to proselytization.
