"Over the past decade, the rights of minorities in Malaysia have eroded as the government shifts from its seemingly secular state to one that is rooted in conservative Islam. Religious freedom is not protected and for ethnic Malays, does not exist at all. Three urgent concerns are the lack of freedom of religion, the ongoing destructions of temples, and the threat of arrest of HINDRAF and other human rights activists under the draconian ISA. The Malaysia Supreme Court should abide by Article 11 in the constitution and not force religion upon residents of Malaysia."
