Well, a lot of events these days really are disconcerting (and even worse!)... And it's been a while since I've visited blogs... So to cut the story short, I'd like to notify a change of addresses. The old postcard.. link no longer works. I hope you can have it replaced with this one - http://karlomongaya.wordpress.com. Thanks!

From your comment it appears that I may have over-estimated the degree to which Christians can expect equitable treatment in Malaysia, but I dearly hope that this is not yet an endemic problem. BTW, I intend to republish your reply as a separate post as soon as I may. When I do so, and you wish to take it down, please just tell me and I'll comply; but I do want others to hear your side of the story. God bless you.

They think in term of My God nad Your God but they forget their religion the same as Christianity belies there is Only One God! Recently the Forum on Conversion to Islam organized by the Bar Council of Malaysia to talk about the issues when one member of the family converts to Islam and how it affects the lives of the whole family members was abruptly cut short due to Demonstrations and storming of the forum. I know though not all Malays Muslims feel the way the hooligans acted during the demonstration yet it is so very sad to know that you are the minority and even though in your constitution it states the freedom to worship and the freedom of speech but it is not upheld due the conflicting law on sensitive issues and the stated official religion of Islam of this Country. read more here http://us2.malaysia-today.net/2008/ and here http://www.othermalaysia.org/ both sites are by Muslim men in Malaysia Dear sir,
