My country is not an Islamic state and it never would be. The Federal Constitution never expertly written that the country is an Islamic state; it is only the religion officially recognised by the written law with freedom to practise other religious faiths in the country.

It is the Malay politician who made it seemed it is so. Even the former PM said the country is an Islamic state. He wanted to garder votes and support from the majority race in the country. The founding fathers of the nation didnt want an Islamic State. They recognised that the country is multi-racial, multi-religious, multi-cultural and multi so many that to do so may create another racial tension worst than the communist insurgents then. So they made it official the religion of Islam with other faiths sharing equal freedom of practice in the country. This is the foundation for peace and co-existence in the country. Now the ruling elite is trying to enforce it against the Federal Law. It is written so plainly that every citizen recognises it. The other Muslim countries recognise the country is an Islamic State because Islam is the official religion of the country but it doesnt say it is an Islamic State under the Federal Constitution.

The MP for Jerai has crossed the line. Why dont the government charge him under seditious law? I doubt the ruling elite will charge its member(s) Likewise if he can't take the heat, he should relocate to another country where his ideas are welcome. In Parliament is to discuss what to do for the country. As the peoples' representative he should be aware of his comments. He didnt get elected through the Malays votes but the votes of the multi-races in the country.
