AS THE new Penang Deputy Chief Minister I who also holds the national unity and Islamic development portfolios, Datuk Dr Mohamad Abdul Hamid is focused on uniting and empowering Muslims.
“Only unity can elevate the position of Malays and Islam,” he said, adding that he would seek the well-being of all Malays in Penang regardless of their political background.“Many have a distorted view of what the state government has done for the Muslim community in Penang.“Mosques and surau have flourished under the leadership of Pakatan Harapan and Pakatan Rakyat,” he said in an interview.

The former Penang Kolej Islam Teknologi Antarabangsa rector said he wanted village community management councils in the state to reach out to the communities, especially in rural areas where getting accurate information was vital.“The state also has six religious administration officers who can help disseminate the correct information,” he added.His other portfolios are education and higher education.
“I would like to see private higher education centres here collaborate with universities from abroad to bring more programmes to Penang so that we can attract more foreign students.”
