    Thanks for sharing this, it is really need us to reminded that how was the constitution been written and how to protect once freedom, not biased by radical and emotional view. I remember God's made each human being a fair and equal, and freedom has been given to choose including the faith, not by treats.

    The Constitution of Malaysia in Article 3 (1) declares that “Islam is the religion of the federation”. The Supreme Court in a 1988 case ruled that the effect of Article 3 (1) is primarily symbolic. Article 3 imposes no limits on the legislative power of Parliament. Islamic law is not the general law of the land. Elsewhere the Constitution indicates that syariah is not part of the general definition of ‘law’ in Article 160(2). Syariah courts have limited jurisdiction only over persons professing the religion of Islam. Syariah authorities are not superior to civil authorities. Allegiance to Islam is not a pre-requisite for obtaining citizenship or holding any federal posts other than those of the King and Deputy King. Malaysia is not an Islamic state. Historical documents refer to it as a “secular” state".
