Nothing
is permanent in POLITICS, Sarawak will slowly change as the umno power fanatics
have done to P Malaysia over the 57 yrs. There is no peace with Islam
since its birth,... Bombing, killing, suicide, Sharia Law, Sunni vs Shia,
never ending human misery.
Chief Minister Tan Sri Datuk Amar Adenan Satem told Christians here there
was no law in Sarawak that prevents them from using the term ‘Allah’ to refer
to God.
“There is no law in Sarawak that says you cannot use the word ‘Allah’, and I will not permit such a law in Sarawak as long as I am the Chief Minister,” he said during a meeting with the people at the Catholic Centre here yesterday.
Adenan said he believed everyone is a child of God regardless of race and religion, and that God loves everyone irrespective of their faiths.
He regarded ‘Allah’ or ‘Tuhan’ as the same God of many colours and there is no difference among his people.

Adenan greets Christians at the Catholic Centre.
“God created us differently, but at the same time we are the same because we believe in the colourful garden. It would be very dull if all the colours were all white.”
Thus, he called on the people to respect one another’s religion, beliefs and differences.
He said there were Melanau families here where the parents are Christians while their children are Muslims, but they lived under one roof.
“I don’t want that to change. I don’t want them to quarrel among themselves.”
Meanwhile, he said as chief minister he had to make sure everyone could practice their own religion in their own way without hindrance.
“Whether it is mosques, churches, or temples, I will give some grant. I will never distinguish between them.”
He told Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church Mukah parishioners that he could give 10 per cent of the things they asked for.
“I cannot give all that you asked for, but have no doubt that I will never distinguish between mosques, or churches, or temples.
“That is the way it ought to be. You are at liberty to practice your religion in your own way,” he pointed out, adding that such religious freedom is enshrined in the federal constitution.
He said Sarawakians had been living in peace for hundreds of years without quarreling over religious issues, and for that people in the peninsula had a lot to learn from Sarawakians.
Also present at the event were Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church Mukah rector Reverend Father Joseph Sebastian, Assistant Minister of Community Services Datuk Peter Nansian Ngusie and BN candidate for Balingian by-election Yussibnosh Balo. -The Borneo Post
