GP size 80 on X: "The most important of the either 2 criteria to be an ‘official Islamic state/country’ are: 1. The Quran forms the basis of the constitution, as no human written law should be higher than God’s law 2. Having Shariah Law or an Islamic legal framework as the rule of the land. Technically a Malaysia can be an Islamic country but we are not because we satisfy neither"
