Religion (faith) should absolutely NOT be something which is determined by LAW. Faith, by definition, is something felt in the heart, and you can surely not legislate for that? Could you properly enforce a law which, for instance, says that everyone must be heterosexual (that has been tried, pretty well everywhere, and failed)?

It is common sense that the way you are brought up, and the behaviour and customs you observe as a child will exert some influence on your beliefs, attitudes and actions as an adult. But as an adult you may be subjected to other external influences which change your ideas and opinions on all manner of things, including "faith". In the event that someone (as a developed adult) then subsequently feels strongly enough to decide he/she wants to "convert" to another faith, why should any MAN MADE LAW prevent or even slightly inhibit that decision?

In fact the Malaysian Constitution GUARANTEES freedom of religion, so surely any law which in ANY way forbids a change of faith is contrary to the constitution, and thereby by definition, itself illegal?

The problem is that there appears to be grey areas where Syariah Law and Secular Law merge.

But enforcing a LAW which purports to prevent apostasy, is surely doing a disservice to the Islamic faith itself, as (a) it portrays Islam as an inflexible, intolerant religion, (b) it suggests that Islam requires to COMPEL people to remain in the faith and (c) surely those who feel strongly enough to denounce their Islamic beliefs should not be compelled to remain in the faith as they will inevitably become a disruptive influence (in the "it only takes one bad apple" sense)?

I want a constitution that allows its people the freedom to practice their own religion of choice regardless of the faith of the parents. And if one chooses to change his/her faith at any time, he/she should not have to go through any bureaucracy.

no money

no. if u force a person to do something they dont like, the result will be worse.
why not let the malays choose themselves when they grow up.
why must force them like an uncivilised way?

lina joy also changed her name, what's wrong.

religion is just something to keep u calm n something for u to lean back whn u need help.

When you were born, did you have a choice to decide your name? When you were born, do you have a choice to decide who you want your parents to be?

The current law automatically defines but as we grow up, it is up to us to decide what we actually want to be.

i fully agree with YUNA. each one of us have to right to choose their own religion not by force or by law, that just unfair.

Say what?

religion are often used and abused by people to fulfill their own agenda. either they use religion as a sword, use religion as a good cause, use religion to mask their evil deeds or use religion to blame something else.

i think that whomever wished to convert to other religion, just do it and there is no need to shout to the whole world about it. Because publicity could either go with u or against u.

nadiaaa

whatever goes man

When religious mix with politic, it had lost the main idea of religion.

Ramlana

Sorry,I'm not Malay,but why bother about law if you already on the right path?Should just say Alhamdulillah.

Sorry for interrupting on your question but lately one TC here has been talking C--- without any facts..sorry being rude but when i read the TC's reply, i cant help myself.....

Thats not the current law. Anybody has the right to choose their faith, but has to do it the right way.

Matilda

u automatically become Muslim because your parents are muslim...and as majority, sure define malaysia as muslim country....and that goes the same to all religion in this entire universe....people convert to other religion for a reason,and because they want too.....

if i given a choice to choose....
ok..let put it this way...
if u are paris hilton(with brain)....do u think u going to let go...
and change ur name to paris no money!....

when people in their comfort zone, i don't see why they should change.....

that goes to all religion...

The current Law should be retained in order to protect the Malays / Islam from being invaded by other faith / religions. Otherwise, many Malays will no longer a Muslims.

aishah

Frankly speaking, I am a Muslim by heart and soul and I do not need any law to dictate what I should believe in. I use my brain and senses to know what is right and the truth. If I had not wanted to be a Muslim I could have fled the country. Why not? I have money and the resources for it. Your question is IMPLYING that Malay become Muslim by force, that is so shallow of you and DISRESPECTFUL to Islam.

::BlackBerryLicious::

aiyah...why you need to be so kepoh...the law was made up for reasons and because of the current law practised by the Malaysians, leds us live in peaceful, harmony and prosperous country...move on..live your life to the fullest...no need to crack your head up over something that not really important to you...

Some of us were born to a Malay or Chinese or Indian Muslim family..therefore and automatically we will have to follow the suit, by being a Muslim as well...and what if you were born to a Chinese Buddha family but raise up as a Christian..would it be weird then?

lol...Dont confuse yourself and all of us over here...alright?
