Norshahril Saat

Johor Remains the Bastion of Kaum Tua Norshahril Saat

The state of Johor has always been considered, and remains, the bastion of kaum tua, with its religious institutions dominated by ulama who are traditionalist in character but tolerant of religious practices that are infused with local culture and mysticism. These scholars have also tended to maintain conservative attitudes on gender issues, inter-religious relations, and intra-faith differences.
