Secular country?

Interesting statement...this country is secular insofar as mosque are sprouting up like mushrooms around the country even in places with low Muslim demographic density.

Other religious institutions (churches, temples) are being forced to move into commercial buildings, warehouses and are not built to allow them to be identify from their facade. Existing ones are being threatened with demolition if they cannot maintain them. Newer temples and churches are forced to circumvent the bureacracy surrounding such places of worship by building a house or warehouse and consecrating/converting it into a temple later (minus the decoration)

So much for religious freedom, you are only allowed to practice as long as you don't keep build a church or a temple.

This shows the biasness of the Barisan government.

Mosque boleh, anything else cannot...
