Astaghfirullah.
Anyway, I got lot of thing to be said. I've thinking a lot for the couple of days about what's happening now to the world, Malaysia or in my organisation as well. Not really well for any of them.
One of the reason to not thinking a lot because it just bring bad news for me. Ignorance is a blessing? Let talk about this sometimes later.
I have watched one video my friend post on facebook and with His takdir, somehow it's related to what I've been thinking for past couple weeks. With all due respect guys, I can see your point from seerah point of view and I have no intention at all to condem or critict you guys. Perhaps or almost certain your deeds to Allah may be greater than me.
However, this thought is killing me and I have to say this at this blog or else I cant be sleeping at night!! (ok,this is too exaggerating)
Back to what I'm saying, the point is this is only my mere opinion which maybe wrong at all (eventhough I quite confident at it).
For a starter, it's better if we look at population of Malaysia.
Malay 50.4%, Chinese 23.7%, indigenous 11%, Indian 7.1%, others 7.8% (2004 est.)
(taken from CIA-The world Factbook)
For me, it's not very convincing statistic for Malays since they only have a major by only 0.4%. Well, in their defence it's still a big majority against any religion singularly.
But what my major concern is when I try to look at religion convertion rate. Well, someone prefer the word revert to Islam rather than convert to Islam. Let's just use revert to Islam. Surprisingly or rather expected for me, I cant find the data for it. In contrast at Britain, thousands have being reverted to Islam. It maybe a small and insignificant when we compare to the whole population of Britain but we cant deny that it is still a big number.
The problem that we have in Malaysia is Islam is too synonym to Malays to the extend that non-muslim thought that Islam is Malays which is obviously wrong. In Britain, people dont see it that way which make the reversion higher.
Let us not forget Sabah and Sarawak. Just how many Malays at there?
Speaking of which, I remember my friend told me one interesting story. He is Bajau and weirdly, he was denied to enter 'sekolah agama' since he was in standard 2 until he started secondary school but his friend who is Bajau easily got accepted eventhough he just applied it during he was in standard 5. Race vs religion dont you think?
What I'm trying to say is, we got lot of work to do and I didn't agree if we just focusing on one race only because Malaysia in not only consist of Malays. Sorry but I just can't buy it.
Well, I think this is what I believe and it's up to you whether to accept it or reject it. Not really affecting my life after all. But, what do you believe in?
p/s : tahniah pada kawan saya, Akmal Alep kerana mewarisi kerja saya yang tak berapa nak jalan. It was an interesting day for me yesterday.(funny to be exact.hahaha)
