"Where Is The Harm If The Interview Includes The Subject Of Islam? If The Applicant Can Answer, It Is Considered A Credit. If Cannot Answer, No Problem."

"Where is the harm if the interview includes the subject of Islam? If the applicant can answer, it is considered a credit. If cannot answer, no problem." Ridhuan said if an applicant was unable to answer questions about Islam, it did not mean that he would be sidelined or rejected.

"I am not saying what the interviewer did was right, but the quarters which have raised the issue and criticised Mara are too much. "Sometimes in an interview, we are also asked to compare religions. The Muslim students have never made a fuss."
