PETALING JAYA: The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has warned religious teachers and mosque officials in the state who refuse the Covid-19 vaccine that they could be barred from carrying out their duties.

In a statement, Sultan Sharafuddin voiced his displeasure that 95 “Kafa” teachers, 11 mosque officials and six matchmakers in the state had refused vaccination.

Kafa is an education programme approved by the department of Islamic development Malaysia (Jakim).

Those who refused the vaccine, the ruler said, were endangering themselves and those around them.

The sultan said Kafa teachers should know that the Covid-19 vaccine can prevent serious illnesses and death.

“Further, I am made to understand that a large number of Covid-19 deaths in Selangor involve those who are unvaccinated.

“I wish to remind the stubborn Kafa teachers that they may not be allowed to carry out their duties (if they remain unvaccinated).”

The Ruler said the same applied to mosque officials and matchmakers who refused to be vaccinated.

Sultan Sharafuddin said he had also been made to understand that 450 primary and secondary school teachers in the state have refused the vaccine.

“This can endanger students in Selangor and the relevant authorities need to look into this,” he said, adding that health experts have confirmed that the vaccine is the only way to overcome the pandemic at this point in time.

Sultan Sharafuddin urged all the people in Selangor to get vaccinated for their own good and for the good of others.
