Use of word 'Allah' is exclusive to Muslims: Malaysian official
Kuala Lumpur, Jan 12 (IANS) :

The use of the word 'Allah' is exclusive to Muslims in Malaysia, a senior government official Tuesday told representatives of foreign missions here while briefing them on attacks on churches.

"They wanted a better understanding of how the word 'Allah' is applied in Malaysia in comparison with, say, Indonesia. We explained why in some countries it is used across the board while in other landscapes like Malaysia, it is exclusive to Islam," said home ministry secretary-general Mahmood Adam.

The foreign representatives were told that comparing the use of the word "Allah" here and in other countries was akin to comparing apples with oranges, NST online, website of the New Straits times reported.

"We have to be fair... (we have to) compare apples with apples and oranges with oranges," he said at a press conference after the briefing.

In an hour-long briefing attended by 96 representatives of the missions, Mahmood assured that the government was handling with urgency the incidents related to the use of the word "Allah" by non-Muslims.

Eight churches have been attacked with fireballs and Molotov cocktails over the past week since a high court ruled in favour of a Catholic church-run magazine, Herald, to use the word "Allah" on its masthead.

Home Minister Hishamuddin Hussein told mediapersons that some people suspected to have indulged in arson have been identified.
The diplomats were also given a guarantee on security in the country.

The last time Pak Lah said these words, he was voted out.

That's why Najib used a rep and dare not say that himself. I was in Malaysia over the weekend and spoke to some Chinese. They are very very angry with the whole situation and felt that Najib was so screwed up and did not deal with the situation properly.

Maybe the end of UMNO is really at hand.

Internet is killing UMNO as they no longer monopolise the news. They failed to judge that they are not as popular as before with more than half the Malays' population not siding with them anymore. The killer blow will come from the East Malaysians in the next GE. They lost the Peninsular Malaysia to the oppositions in the last election and saved by the East Malaysians and this debacle will not do them any good at all.

Allah don't like UMNO too by the way things turned out so far.

Then if the employer has to retrench the workers, who do we blame? Please we must communicate in a calm manner. We have our Government to take care of such issues. Thank you.
