MM Online – Putrajaya: Freedom of religion does not equal freedom from religion (extracts):
A deputy minister today claimed that atheism is a “very dangerous” ideology that goes against not only the Rukunegara that prescribes “believe in God” as one of the tenets, but also the Federal Constitution.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki alleged that the freedom of religion in the Constitution which guarantees the freedom to worship does not include the freedom to not believe.”
“We have to understand that in the Malaysian context, our Federal Constitution states that the freedom of religion does not mean freedom from any religion because that is unconstitutional.”
“This means we cannot incite someone to leave a religion or promote not having a religion. We cannot order or promote a belief of not having a religion, that is against the Federal Constitution.”
Stop bullshitting that ‘freedom of religion’ does not mean freedom from any religion. You are a Muslim where you are NOT free from your religion, namely, you MUST remain being a Muslim, BUT you are NOT allowed to shaft your belief down my throat – that’s what ‘freedom of religion’ means, dumbo.
Stop your nonsensical personal interpretation of the Constitution.
The Rukunegara was formulated in 1970 by the Tun Razak’s government after the May 13 racial riots, and was shafted down our throat without our consent. You f**kers have a habit of shafting your belief and concept etc down our throats, just because you believe you’re the ketuanan creed.
We know from popular rumours that the late Tun Ghazali Shafie, who was very much favoured by Tun Razak, was the author but regardless of whether indeed Ghazali had been the author, it was apparent that person was inspired by the Indonesian national ideology of Pancasila which in reality was inspired by the Buddhist 5 daily precepts (Pancasila or 5 personal undertakings).

So what was shafted down our throats have been the Malaysian Rukunegara as follows:
WHEREAS OUR COUNTRY, MALAYSIA nurtures the ambitions of:
- Achieving a more perfect unity amongst the whole of her society;
- Preserving a democratic way of life;
- Creating a just society where the prosperity of the country can be enjoyed together in a fair and equitable manner;
- Guaranteeing a liberal approach towards her rich and varied cultural traditions; and
- Building a progressive society that will make use of science and modern technology.
- BELIEF IN GOD
- LOYALTY TO KING AND COUNTRY
- THE SUPREMACY OF THE CONSTITUTION
- THE RULE OF LAW
Look minister, the aim of the Rukunegara has been to create harmony and unity among the various races in Malaysia, but of all the 5 rukun it has, it would seem that Rukun No 1, namely,‘Belief in god’ has been the least helpful to the aim of the national principles.
The most notorious examples have been the persecution of Catholic Churches in Sabah in the 70’s, …
… the oppression of Buddhism in Penang in the 70’s where the ‘original’ proposed giant statue of Kuan Yin was forcefully truncated as a compromise to appease conservative Muslim objections and the almost continuous proselytism of children of parents with different religions of which one has been a Muslim. There have been more but these 3 suffice as examples.
Furthermore, stop bullshitting that the Constitution is against atheism – jangan buat suka sendiri saje, you syiok-sendiri-bandit.
In fact, law professor Shad Saleem Faruqi has just advised via Berita Daily’s ‘Nothing in constitution that makes atheism unconstitutional’ that (see as follows):
