Ridhuan Tee Continued To Defend MARA For Asking Non-Muslim Scholarship Applicants Questions About Islam During The Interview Process
Two non-Muslim students were allegedly asked questions about the Islamic faith as part of a scholarship interview in Sarawak.

yahoo.comHe also defended Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) for questioning non-Muslim scholarship applicants about Islam. "What was done is not wrong, especially as the 'Allah' issue is being fiercely debated by various quarters," Ridhuan said
"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."
