UM's official statement
🕍 What Is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is a centuries-old fraternal organisation that describes itself as a system of morality. In Malaysia, it is viewed with significant controversy. The National Fatwa Council ruled in 1980 that the movement is incompatible with Islamic teachings and prohibited for Muslims. Consequently, allegations of membership often trigger intense public scrutiny and investigations due to perceived conflicts with religious and national identity.

These posts quickly gained traction, prompting public demands for clarification from the university. UM is currently verifying the authenticity of the claims before deciding on any further disciplinary actions or official statements regarding the matter.
