Universiti Utara Malaysia lecturer Kamarul Zaman Yusoff has today lodged a police report against Selangor speaker Hannah Yeoh for allegedly driving a "Christian agenda".

In his report lodged at the Changlun police station, the political science lecturer said Yeoh did so through her book "Becoming Hannah: A Personal Journey by Hannah Yeoh" published on January 2015.

"I was shocked to find that this book contained parables and excerpts from the Bible. I believe this book is an attempt to persuade, influence or incite non-Christians including Muslims to embrace Christianity or become inclined towards Christianity," he said in his police report.

His said this breaches Section 4(1)(a) of Selangor's Non-Islamic Religions (Control of Propagation Amongst Muslims) Enactment 1998 which bars proselytisation to Muslims.

According to the Enactment, a person commits an offence if he persuades, influences or incites a Muslim to "be inclined" or "become a follower or a member" of non-Islamic religion or to "forsake or disfavour" Islam.

Kamarul Zaman said Yeoh might have also breached Section 298(A)(1) of the Penal Code for causing disharmony on religious grounds.

However, lawyer Syahredzan Johan said Kamarul Zaman's logic is flawed and his police report malicious.

"The person who lodged the police report against Hannah Yeoh over what she wrote in that book has ill intentions to cause religious discontent," he said on Twitter.

"What is wrong with drawing strength from one's faith to be in politics? Or is only PAS members allowed to do that?" he asked.

He said the police report suggests that Malaysia has reached a level where non-Muslims are not allowed to speak about their own religion without being accused of proselytising to Muslims.

Lecturer: Book meant for non-Christians

In his police report, Kamarulzaman said Yeoh was proselytising when she wrote that it was God who led her to "work with statesmen and rulers".

He also took issue with how Yeoh said "God wants to reclaim politics and public service in Malaysia" and her aim of "bringing the Christian faith and service to the public sphere".

He noted how Yeoh referred to Jesus Christ as the "son of God", in line with Christian belief, but in contravention with Muslim belief that Jesus was a prophet but not a divine being.

"Yeoh intended for the book to be read by non-Christians. It is stated, "If you are not a Christian and are reading this book..." in page 14.

"This is in line with her mission as an 'ambassador of God' and 'to make disciples of others'," he said, quoting page 7 of the book.

Yeoh, who is also Subang Jaya assemblyperson on Monday lodged a police report against Kamarul Zaman for allegedly defaming her.

She said the book was about her personal political journey, not an attempt to convert readers into Christianity.

Selangor deputy speaker Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad has defended Yeoh, whom he said is a hardworking and fair assemblyperson who has also advocated for her Muslim constituents, even after she was villified for it by the MCA.

He added that as a Muslim, his religion too has motivated him to continue in his career.
