Religious Tolerance in Malaysia

It is indeed a sad day for the Indians and Malaysian at large. Why some of you may ask? The Shah Alam incident is an classic example how we have moved backward in civilisation. Tolerance and civility died today! How can the majority Malays stand by doing nothing? I call them Malays as they are certainly not Muslim in my vocabulary. They are claiming that Section 23 is a Malay majority so the temple should not be built there. Just because it is a Malay majority other places of worship should not be build. How about a Surau or a mosque build in a Chinese or Indian majority and how about in Sabah and Sarawak. Should the non-muslims stage a nation wide street protest demanding that suraus and mosques not to be build in a non-malay majority? Can you imagine the mayhem that will surely follow if that happens? Where in Islam or the Quran it is mentioned that non-believers places of worship should not be build? If this is not a political in nature, I wonder what it is! Just listen to Kerismudin doing a flip flop in his statements after meeting with the so called residents of Shah Alam. This make me think some politician are willing to destroy this country for their own benefit?
