Sorry for the void of update, I was totally cut off of any internet connectivity since last Wednesday.

Former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in an interview on Saturday accused the government of stifling non-Muslims’ rights and said Malaysia’s majority Muslims feel their own rights are threatened by greater clamor among minorities for protection of their rights.

"The worrying thing is the Muslims feel their position and their power in religious discourse is eroding. The non-Muslims feel they are being marginalized and discriminated against." […]

"We have come to a stage where it is considered unhealthy. The debate over … religious issues has been contentious. There is a lot of unhappiness,"

By the way, Anwar called for a cross-cultural dialogue to ease tensions in the multiracial country.

Any government organisations or NGOs are willing to take heed of the call?
