Deputy Minister Marhamah Rosli pledges to make religion more accessible and empower Muslim women, focusing on community welfare and institutional support.
KUALA LUMPUR: Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Marhamah Rosli is determined to use her welfare and community experience to strengthen religious institutions and empower Muslim women.
Describing her recent appointment as a significant responsibility, she pledged full commitment to supporting policy development and making religious affairs more accessible.
“My focus is on bringing religion closer to the people,” Marhamah said.
She expressed a desire for society to view religion as a natural part of daily life rather than something overly punitive.
Marhamah was among eight new deputy ministers who took their oath of office before His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim at Istana Negara.
She also thanked Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for the trust placed in her.
Marhamah assured she would fulfil her mandate to the best of her ability and sought support from all parties to develop Islamic institutions.
“I hope to be given the opportunity and space to give my full commitment,” she added. – Bernama
