[QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 50779, member: 636"] Religious officials cleared a floating book ship of spreading Christian messages after worried Muslims raised concerns about the exhibition. The Federal Territory Islamic Religious Affairs Department sent enforcement teams to check out the Doulos Hope docked at Megah Port Labuan. Officers found zero evidence of any Christian teaching activities during their thorough inspections of the vessel. Social media users had spread false claims about religious conversion efforts happening aboard the international book fair. Department officials urged people to stop sharing fake news that could spark trouble between different religious groups. The massive ship carries more than 120,000 books covering all kinds of topics and subjects for visitors to browse. Hundreds of people flock to the floating library every day since it opened its doors on July 3. Families can explore the upper deck exhibition from 1pm until 9pm daily except on Mondays when the ship stays closed. The book fair follows all official rules and regulations set by local authorities without any problems. Visitors can keep coming until July 28 when the ship sails away to its next destination. The Doulos Hope arrived at Labuan port on July 2 as part of its big tour around Southeast Asian countries. The floating library brings education and entertainment to communities across the region through its traveling book exhibitions. Religious monitors confirmed that all activities remained completely educational and cultural rather than religious in nature. [/QUOTE]
