Malay Muslim responds
Posted in Q & A on Oct 05, 2007
An insight about why my book is censored in Malaysia despite the self-proclaimed pluralistic values of that country’s prime minister:
I read your article regarding Malaysia’s PM progressive Islam stance. Well, being a Muslim Malay myself I couldn’t help but to feel rather critical about this issue. I would like to point out here that there’s nothing so much progressive about Malaysia. You should know very well the difference between practice and theory because I’m sure you will never make the mistake of confusing them. Personally, I feel that Malaysia is as progressive as Saudi Arabia. I think you should read this article here to judge for yourself.
I’m really glad that the Malay translation of your book is available online for free. But I still prefer the English version. Assalamualaykum and rock on ! - Farhan (a very proud Singaporean Muslim Malay)
