The last Islamic reformist


This year, come Jan 25, my beloved Chinese friends will all be celebrating the Chinese New Year. On that auspicious days for the Chinese, I will be 58 years old. That day will mark three decades of my voluntary indoctrination into the Islamic reformist agenda.

However, this year marks my final rejection of this agenda after 30 years of trust, faith and belief in its idealism. I will explain to Malaysians why I no longer support the Islamic reform agenda for Malaysia after witnessing the political parties and NGOs react in issues related to the minority groups of the Chinese, Indians, Orang Asli, LGBT and Muslim sects after the 14th General Election.
