Better in Beijing than in … Putrajaya

Complaining about China? This can make you feel better. No place is perfect.
May 2007 – A “Muslim-born” woman converted to Christianity and was baptized in 1998. A court in Putrajaya (Malaysia) denied to have her ID card changed to remove the word “Islam”. Result: she cannot marry her Catholic fiancé and is ostracized. (Of course she cannot do many other things, like drink alcohol, etc. No glass of red wine for her). She is now considering fleeing the country for better pastures. So Malaysia has its own caste system, you are born with it, you die with it. Religious intolerance. Maybe the next step will be to stone her? Mind you, the date is correct. May 2007.

One thought on “Better in Beijing than in … Putrajaya

  1. yes, different places have their unique traditions, rules or so-called customs. in my eyes, the best way to harmoniously get along well with each other is first to be aware of each other’s customs and traditions, and then to respect the existence of their diverse cultures without too much prejudice. so i wonder to know why this girl in order to marry a Catholic guy is willing to sacrifice her religious belief , why not convince her Catholic fiance to marry her without changing her religion.
    the second thing i can not understand is that even someone successfully converted his religion, but can he get rid of the religion? because he is born with it, and it has become part of his life.
    anyway, this is just my own idea. maybe for someone, it is nonsense.
