As the dispute over the use of the word Allah rages on, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (right) has weighed in on the matter, urging the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) to return the Bibles seized from the Bible Society of Malaysia.
The opposition leader said he did not approve of the "high-handed" manner of which Jais raided the BSM premises two weeks ago, where some 300 Malay and Iban Bibles were seized and two officials detained.
"Give them back," he said at a press conference at the PKR headquarters today.
While he is not disputing Jais's right to question, investigate and call up people for clarification, Anwar said the department's conduct was "very dangerous" as it failed to respect the sensitivities of other religions.
"The question is not the law, but the manner it was being done.
"The role of the state government is to advice the ruler and make it known that whilst they respect state laws and position of Islam and there is no need to compromise on faith, we must be clear that every citizen in this country must be accorded the same respect and they must be of a certain decorum," he said.
Jais had defended its actions, saying that it was in line with the Selangor Non-Islamic Religions Enactment 1988 (Control of Propagation Among Muslims), a law which prohibits non-Muslims in the state from using the word "Allah" and 34 other Arabic words.
Reiterating Pakatan Rakyat's 2010 stand that the term is not exclusive to Muslims, Anwar acknowledged the religious dispute is a grave concern among Muslims in rural Malaysia and reiterated his call for the ruling Barisan Nasional pact to have a dialogue with his opposition coalition to find solutions to cool down the raging controversy.
"The Allah issue is a problem in the Muslim heartland. What is required is for us to continue with more effective to engage the Muslims.

DGAP-News: Schaltbau Holding AG / Key word(s): Development of Sales/Incoming Orders Schaltbau Group sales up by 7.9 % in 2013
15.01.2014 / 14:01
=--------------------------------------------------------------------
Schaltbau Group sales up by 7.9 % in 2013 - growth driven primarily by door systems for railway vehicles and brake systems
- 5 % rise in order-intake underpins growth target for 2014
Munich, 15 January 2014 - The Schaltbau Group, a leading supplier of components and systems in the field of transportation technology, remained on growth course in the fiscal year 2013. Based on preliminary figures, sales rose by 7.9 % to EUR 391.5 million (2012: EUR 362.8 million). Fourth-quarter sales of EUR 95.4 million were at a similar level to the previous year.
All three segments reported higher sales than in 2012, with the Mobile Transportation Technology segment performing particularly dynamically. Sales of the Door Systems for Railway Vehicles product group rose sharply on the back of the ongoing success of the segment's BIDS technology. Within the Stationary Transportation Technology segment, the decrease in sales recorded for Rail Infrastructure business was more than offset by the increase achieved with Brake Systems. The Components segment profited in particular from series deliveries of high-voltage contactors to Russian Railways as well as from strong demand for switches.
Order-intake also developed positively for the Schaltbau Group and rose by 5.0 percent to preliminary EUR 391.0 million compared to the previous year (EUR 372.3 million). 'The strong order-book situation gives us good reason to be optimistic that we will be able to achieve our targeted growth in 2014 and thus take our sales up to approximately EUR 410 million', emphasised Dr. Jrgen Cammann, Spokesman of the Executive Board.
The main factor has been the sharp rise in order-take in the Mobile Transportation Technology segment, especially in the Door Systems business field. Within the Stationary Transportation Technology segment, order volumes for Rail Infrastructure were down on the previous year due to order delays for signalling systems, with the decrease only partially compensated by the increased level of orders for shunting technology. Delays also arose for platform screen doors. By contrast, order-intake increased in the Brake Systems business field and continues to show a positive trend. Alongside good demand for traditional container business, new orders from the wind power and mining sectors also contributed to the rise in new business. The Components segment achieved a slightly higher order-intake than one year earlier despite some project delays in China and problems incurred in the Photovoltaic business field. The Schaltbau Group's fourth-quarter order-intake totalled EUR 91.4 million (Q4 2012: EUR 87.7 million), thus confirming the positive trend recorded over the course of the year.
With annual sales of around EUR 400 million and a workforce of 2,000 employees, the Schaltbau Group is one of the leading suppliers of components and systems in the field of transportation technology and the capital goods industry. The enterprise supplies complete level crossing systems, shunting and signals technology, door and boarding systems for buses, trains and commercial vehicles and industrial braking systems for container cranes and wind power plants as well as high- and low-voltage components for railway vehicles and other applications. Its innovative and customer-oriented products make Schaltbau a key business partner for a variety of industrial sectors, in particular transportation technology.
