Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mujahid Yusof Rawa said the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transexual (LGBT) community cannot be discriminated against as citizens of the country but advised them not to challenge the country's value system.

"Every Malaysian citizen is free and can't be discriminated at the workplace and in other issues.

"As far as sexual orientation is concerned, if we keep quiet and do it without challenging the system, then that is another issue.

"(But) if we declare openly and feel proud about it, then that will be an issue with the values in our society and the laws in our country," he told journalists at the Parliament lobby today.
