"While inter-religious marriages are a boon to a multi-religious society, conversions, if not properly done, can also lead to much suspicion and resentment. Non-Muslims should also be made aware and forewarned that, for the moment, conversion to Islam is very much a one-way street.
So the problem that led to the illfated memorandum still needs to be tackled even though the memorandum itself is history."
My sentiments exactly. Malaysia has always bragged about its racial harmony but it is still a fragile entity. I feel the politicians will always take advantage of the racial and religious issues to gain political milage. The victims - the general public.
Almost everyone I know at the grassroots level are busy with their daily lives, career and family. Of course everyone has an opinion on what is happening in the country but they have voted the elected representatives to do the job of managing our destiny. There will always be hiccups along the way but some major and fundamental issues like the conversion issue should not be brushed aside. The 'sensitive' issue reason is almost always used to keep things quiet. How long will this go on?
