On 18th January, last year, in a post, I asked this of the Malaysian Cosultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism ( MCCBCHST ) : “Are they for ABU or for UMNO dulu, kini dan selama2nya?” As I had noted in that post, ” forget the Islamic religious councils, departments and agencies, both […]
