Abstract

As you probably know by now, a senior Universiti Utara Malaysia lecturer filed a police report to accuse the Speaker of the Selangor State Assembly of trying to "Christianise" Malaysia through a book she had written. In the book (which I have not read),she apparently talked about how her faith has been important to her. According to news reports, the lecturer claimed in his police report that the book had "too many stories and quotations from the Bible" and that "the stories can influence readers, including myself, to feel admiration for the greatness of Hannah Yeoh's God". Hmmm. Surely, if there were any justification or credence to that logic then it would destroy at a single stroke the very foundation of Malaysia's pluralism. Malaysia would cease to be Malaysia.
