Welcome to the Islamic Federation of Malaysia!

It is complete. With the Federal Court decision on Lina Joy's case this morning, the subversion of the Constitution of Malaysia by the judiciary with the blessing of the executive is now complete. Even though it is not explicitly spelt out, the Syariah is now supreme over the Constitution of this land. The country has walked through 50 years of journey to arrive at a destination totally unintended and unexpected by our founding fathers. We really have much to think about the future of this country, especially how it will affect our decision on our families. Personally, it is getting increasingly difficult for me to be optimistic, and today may just bury whatever optimism left in me. Attempt to convince me otherwise.

i concur. Non-muslims (and maybe a handful of Muslims too) will not have a bright future. If possible, I will work out a way to get out of Islamic Federation of Msia. People can call me a loser but today I have given up hope on Msia totally. "Negara Malaysia sebuah negera Islam, kalau you tak suka, you get out of here - balik tongsan balik India lah"

We must move on,this is not UK or US and even EU. We have minorities in these countries and they adapted well with the culture and believe system of the hosts.
