no doubt, malaysia is pretty islamic in a lot of way... but then again, we are told all the time and so to say we have freedom in religious practices, etc... yet, this kinda matters keep surfacing and are kept below the surface for God knows wat reason...
lina joy is a pure example of many more who wanna renounce islam and get on their life to other faith, believe, etc...
to convert a non-muslim is easy to muslim is easy measy peasy... but, to renounce their islamic faith is almost seems impossible in malaysia... they seems to be even fighting over the dead on where the dead should be buried, etc...
fm the freedom of religion practices point of view, i sincerely pray that lina will get wat she wishes... this will no doubt open THOUSANDS pairs of eyes.. hope people will no longer afraid to get wat they want and most importantly for them to speak up and out loud...
too long an article.. you read all about it as per the links below...

Poster shameful, says Bar Council
22 Aug 2006

KUALA LUMPUR: The Bar Council has condemned the circulation of a poster calling for the death of lawyer Malik Imtiaz Sarwar.
Malik had held a watching brief on behalf of the Malay- sian Bar in the appeal case of Lina Joy.
Bar Council president Yeo Yang Poh said the poster was aimed at intimidating, threatening and oppressing a member of the Bar while discharging his role as a lawyer.
"Our justice system demands that parties be given the right to be heard. Hence, it is the duty of every advocate and solicitor to present and state his client’s case without fear or favour as it is under the protection of our courts that a lawyer is able to advance his client’s case, no matter how unpalatable his argument may appear to other parties."
Lina Joy or Azlina Jailani is appealing to the Federal Court to have the word "Islam" removed from her identity card as she is said to have embraced Christianity.
Describing the circulation of the poster as "shameful", Yeo said it was also an assault on the fundamentals of the nation’s justice system.
He called on the authorities to launch an immediate investigation to identify the parties responsible.
"Malaysian society must reach to show that there is no room for death threats or any similar acts of intimidation in our society."

me personally is not surprise with this kinda action... but to know muslim-convert-to-other-faith is a SERIOUS CRIME stunned me indeed...
the defenders of islam view baptising a muslim who wants to leave his/her faith is a serious crime?!?!?!?...
am so sure the police have better things to do eh?!?... people are dying almost every day fm snatch theft, raped, murder, etc..
am also not surprise SHOULD THERE BE are be any demos, protests, water guns, etc outside the church soon...
p/s ; just recalled this incident/s.... if my memory serves me right lah, one of those days in st johns cathedral quite some moons ago... church goers received summons for obstructing traffic for parking their cars along the church.... whereby, mosque goers are all ok with them parking their cars along the mosque and obstructing the traffic flow....
obstructing traffic is WRONG!.. EVERYONE deserves summon/s to their wrong doing... but, am i right to say to have that kinda scenarios are totally one sided!...
can someone pls explain to me as to why is this happening in a, democratic country?!?...
