TIME and again, we see and hear the statement: “We live in a multi-cultural and multi-religious society.” It is very true in our beloved country but we have to realise that living in a multi-cultural and multi-religious society doesn’t give us the right to build religious buildings, be it a Hindu temple, Chinese tokong, mosque or church, on land that does not belong to us without the consent of the owner or owners.
We have to realise that it is also a sin to take away property from the owner of the land, be it a corporation, individual or the state government, by using religious sentiments. By the way, I am not supporting the corporation or the use of thugs to settle disputes; this is just my honest opinion.
