| Reason for our “silence” |
| Time and again, NECF Malaysia has been questioned on its “visible silence” on crucial issues affecting, not only Malaysian Christians, but also the general population. In the past, NECF Malaysia actively issued timely press statements voicing its stand on issues, many of which were published in the local media. However, at a meeting with its partners in the Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM) two years ago, it was unanimously agreed by all three component parties that only CFM would issue press statements on major issues that affect the practice of our Christian faith so as to present a united Christian voice in Malaysia. Examples are the recent ‘Allah’ and ‘Bible’ issue (above) where CFM took the lead on behalf of the Christian community. NECF has respected the agreement (and will continue to do so) while working behind the scene to help resolve the issues. |
