Lim Kit Siang wants "ALLAH" ban revoked.

Test for 1M'sia: Revoke 'Allah' ban

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has been asked to urge the cabinet to revoke the decision to ban the use of the word 'Allah' for religions other than Islam.
According to DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang, this would be a test on whether the premier's 1Malaysia slogan is to be taken seriously.
"Malaysia is again at the centre of adverse international publicity despite our tourist promotion of Malaysia as a harmonious and model multi-religious nation," he added in a statement.
Lim said in the past few days, international media like CNN have been giving high-profile coverage to the government's seizure of 15,000 Bibles in recent months because they refer to God as 'Allah'.
This, he alleged, is raising concerns and fears of religious intolerance in the country.
Last month, a consignment of 10,000 copies of the Indonesian-language Bibles which featured the disputed word 'Allah' was confiscated in Kuching, Sarawak, while another consignment of 5,100 Bibles was seized in March.
Lim said the decision taken by the cabinet to ban the use of the word 'Allah' for religions other than Islam is "most unreasonable, divisive and even unconstitutional decision."
He pointed out that the term 'Allah' was in use long before there was the religion of Islam in the world.

tunku : what this thing got to do with 1Malaysia? this old man is mad and just want to create more tense as they know that the pressure is on them now. to divert the issue now he is making such stupid call. why do the Christian need to use the word ALLAH.they argue that it's Bahasa Malaysia's translation.The exact translation for God is Tuhan in BM not Allah. i don't recall any other religion's God's name Allah except for Islam.we hope the government will take STERN ACTION against this type of idiots which like to create tense among the poeple.ALLAHUAKBAR.
