NGO: Don’t ban unity walks


PETALING JAYA: The tradition of interfaith mingling via unity walks to each other’s places of worship should be preserved for the betterment of the country’s multicultural and multireligious fabric, says the Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism (MCCBCHST).

It called upon the government and Islamic authorities to not impose a blanket ban on Muslims from going to non-Muslim places of worship, but make it clear there will be no propagation of religion to Muslims.
