Timeline 2009 (part 3)
Now that the brouhaha on the church attacks has quietened down a bit, let us continue with our flashbacks on the significant events of 2009. March was a significant month because that was when the announcement was made that Christians are to be banned from using the word Allah. That month was also when the Perak State Assembly met under a tree, the first time in world history that something like that happened.
