Two-thirds of the 28 million of Malaysia population are Muslims. Malaysia Anti-Valentine campaign was established and been enforced by the countries Islamic authorities since 2005. This Monday the campaign will be stepped up to prevent Muslims from celebrating this Hallmark holiday which is labelled as a "trap" too encourage immoral behavior. The Deputy prime minister, Yassin said Valentine's Day was "not suitable" for Muslims. On Monday, Malaysian states will enforce checks on hotels to stop young couples from having premarital intercourse. The department's chief believes, Islam does not reject positive things from the West and are open to Mother's and Father's Day but Valentines Day in reality is historically known to concentrate on vice actions. He also states-" Islam would reject anything, even from the Eastern culture, if it contravenes the Islamic teachings."
