NECF On Nationwide Awareness Campaign

NECF Malaysia kicked off a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of the implications of the Moorthy episode with a seminar on Jan 10 . It was ‘standing room’ only as some 150 pastors and leaders from nearly 50 churches in the Klang Valley gathered at the NECF office to hear NECF Secretary-General Rev. Wong Kim Kong explained the implications of the Syariah and High Courts’ rulings. Rev. Wong stressed that the core issue was not religion but human rights – that is, the right of all individuals to choose and practise their religion.

He informed the participants of the action taken by the *MCCBCHS to lobby for a change in the laws. Throughout his talk, Rev. Wong reminded the participants to continue to love the Muslims and to pray for their well being. He also challenged them to express their support for a change in action, and proposed three ways they could do so – pray, attend the month-long candlelight vigil at the High Courts and participate in the signature campaign.

Besides the Klang Valley, the NECF team also conducted the seminar in Ipoh, Melaka, Penang and the East Coast.

(*MCCBCHS stands for the Malaysian Consultative Council on Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and Sikhism. Rev. Wong is the council’s acting secretary-general cum chairman of its special taskforce to address this issue.)
