To all Penang Pastors of NECF
The Unashamedly Ethical Campaign (UEC) was held in partnership with Global Day of Prayer (GDOP) and Market Place Penang. The event was held on May 5-6, at Penang Christian Centre and Berjaya Hotel.
The Unashamedly Ethical Campaign (UEC) is a global movement that began in South Africa aimed at promoting ethics, values and clean living. The movement first came to Malaysia at a conference held in Sibu on April 29 - May 1, followed at Kuala Lumpur from May 1-2 and finally over to Penang on May 5-6 2011.
The conference was to encourage participants to make that significant change in their lifestyle and be the salt and light both in their workplace and neighborhood.
The Unashamedly Ethical Campaign (UEC) is in no way linked to the event of the dinner hosted by Jeff Ooi on May 5, at the Red Rock Hotel, whereby allegations were made by bloggers and Utusan.
Both the conferences in Sibu and Kuala Lumpur were free from any of such incidents. Utusan also erroneously reported that there were 1,700 participants when in fact we had only 100 at the full day conference.
On behalf of the evangelical community in Malaysia, NECF Malaysia would encourage all to reject unfounded claims and stand together in upholding love, charity, compassion, righteousness and mutual respect seeking to contribute positively towards the development and well being of the nation as a whole.
We encourage Pastors and Leaders of the Malaysian Church to uphold our Penang Brethren in prayer and that the Lord's grace and mercies will continue to sustain their faith.
May the sovereign hand of God continue to bless our nation's leaders and this land of Malaysia.
Samuel Ang
Secretary-General,
