I am still trying to make sense of the whole conversion thing. Is a divided nation where we are headed? Perhaps the hint was given last Wednesday when the PM attended the 25th Anniversary of the MCCBCHST. In his speech, the PM offered NO concrete steps to the issues we have been facing, including the conversion issues. In all the words spoken by the PM, he used the word "tolerance". Perhaps herein lies the message - we need to tolerate and continue to do so, so forget understanding! This is really disappointing,
What is more disappointing are the actions of PAS and PKR in joining the protest against the Bar Council over the weekend. I cannot fully agree with the Bar Council either and I cannot agrre or appreciate the role of the police. However, I would expect at least PAS and PKR to initiate proactive engagement, offering a new perspectives in bridging the religious divide, not taking to the streets as we are so familiar with the UMNO-style confrontational approach.
It seems as if we are stuck in between the devil and the deep blue sea. I really hope we are not jumping from the frying pan into the fire!
I sincerely pray that the wisdom and leadership of PAS and Pakatan Rakyat will pervail and bring true unity to our country and take Malaysia forward. We have limited time and options.
