The best is to rephrase " why Malaysia do not have a law that says all are born neutral and they will have the freedom to choose upon reaching certain age".

  

Answer 4

Agree with zeeda..everyone knows that malay ancestors are borned hindu and then Buddha. my point is why should the government put a clause regaring this matter in the federal constitution? and who really cares anyway..

Answer 7

Agree with mr.Bobo, The person who did this statement "All malay are muslim" just don't understand that malay also have their own right to choose their own religion.

Answer 8

Yah..I wonder why most white were born as a Christian,

as most of their ancestors a pagan and jewish, before the arrival of Jesus.

Perhaps America should lead the way?

Born in America as a pagan/jewish.

Choose your best preferred religion afterwards.

Answer 9

Answer 10

i don't know....what i know...mamak2 is India Muslim

Answer 11

Maybe you are right. But on the other hand, my Hindu ancestors were descended from Adam and Eve, who were Muslims. In fact, all humans are descended from them.

Yes, the law is illogical, it should states that all human beings from homo sapien species are born Muslim, not only Malays. Thanks for bringing up this point.

Answer 12

By all means, let muslims be muslims,

What we ask is do not destroy our temples, steal our bodies, separate our families in the name of religion, give us fair chances in education, employment and services.

Answer 13
