Ignoring the elephant in the room in the Harmony Malaysia Forum


In a recent forum organized by Harmony Malaysia and the IAIS International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies, panelists and speakers went all out to promote the idea of changing education, changing political laws, changing mindset towards cosmopolitanism and reinforcing the Rukunegara.

Were I there in the forum, I would have pointed out that all the panelists and speakers forgot or refused to discuss the biggest elephant in the room; Islam and its narratives.
