i love malaysia

Dear Sumire,

Had you heard that pigs’ heads are tossed into at least 3 mosques already? If you haven’t, you should read about it here and here.

I guess what Marina Mahathir had wrote in her blog was right. Some people are just not satisfied because no Malaysians had started killing each other yet. Some people are hoping and trying hard to recreate a dark hole in the history of our Malaysia. The only difference this time is that they tried to manipulate our faith rather than the different color of our skin.

I feel equally as bad when I read about the news as when I read about the churches’ arsons. These barbarians whom do not know how to respect the places of worship of others are ignorant fools who can’t think for themselves. Easily influenced and shallow.

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but I still see the Chinese, Malays and Indians going out for lunch together here at Shah Alam. My Malay friends still shake my hand when they see me. We'd not been provoked into war, because we know truly in our heart that we're friends, not enemies. The real enemy is out there, burning churches and desecrating mosques.

Arson of churches, temple attacks and desecration of mosques will not break us apart. It will only set us stronger. Even youth leaders from both Barisan and Pakatan are standing together now. We're must indeed be stronger to face our true enemies.

These fools must realize, they’re not only attacking churches. They’re not only attacking temples. They’re not only attacking the mosques. They’re in fact attacking and humiliating our unique and rich cultures. They’re attacking Malaysia in general. They’re trying to destroy what all Malaysians had been standing up for. They’re trying to destroy Malaysia’s future. Attacking the places of worship is like stepping on our Malaysian flag.

Sometimes I wonder why those ignorant fools hated Malaysia so much? I just couldn’t understand. Malaysia is my home, I love Malaysia and I wouldn’t allow those barbarians to ruin it further. That’s why I think we must never lose our composure. We must be rational. We must in every way be united. I believe that Malaysia is still a wonderful place to live in, and mutual respect still exists. We shall not be provoked.

May God bless Malaysia,
Jin

Dear Sumire,

When my mum told me about the church’s arson over the ‘Allah’ dispute, I was shocked. I couldn’t believe such a thing is actually happening in Malaysia. I read it in newspaper all the time that churches are burned or destroyed in many places in the world. But I’m always grateful that I lived in Malaysia where people of all religions could chit-chat while having a nice cup of coffee together.

Are things changing now?

Maybe the ones who set the Molotov-cocktails are opportunists. They took full advantage of the havoc, when the court ruled that the non-Muslims can use the world ‘Allah’ in referring God in non-Muslim’s publications. I want to believe it is not my fellow Malay or Muslims friend who set my fellow Christian’s churches on fire. I truly want to believe that it was the work of opportunist that wanted to raise even more racial and religious panics among Malaysians.

But here are my two-cents. The request of ban itself is ridiculous. Totally ridiculous. The Christians in Sabah and Sarawak had been using the word Allah since forever. Their masses are celebrated in Bahasa. Now don’t tell me now they cannot celebrate Allah anymore.

Our God is the one and the same! He’s the One who sent Nabi Ibrahim (Abraham), Nabi Yaakub (Jacob), Nabi Musa (Moses), Nabi Daud (David), and also Nabi Isa (Jesus). Please don’t tell me to differentiate my God from your Allah. To me, He’s the One and the same. We just celebrate his Glory in our own and different ways.

If the ban of the usage of the word is to succeed, it would mean that some of us could never be able to sing our state anthem ever again, just because we’re not Muslims. It’s wrong, and unfair. Everyone have to be proud of their own state. It’s the place we come from. The feeling have no mind of what being our religion or skin color.

Just after months we shouted Satu Malaysia, we’re facing church arsons from some barbarians without any concern towards the peace and understanding in Malaysia. I hope the issue would stop soon. I must say that I love my family, my friends, my country and my religion. And I will never want this issue to harm any of them.


If, you're like me, which is in support of the word of Allah being used by the whole nation, please don't do anything reckless. Just join this group in Facebook [We support the use of the name Allah by all Malaysians], and let us all pray in peace and hope that God hear all our prayers.

If you want to read more about Allah or God; I suggest you read these for a better understanding:
(i) Qur’an: Muslims and Christians worship same God
(ii) Allah

God bless Malaysia,
Jin
