ANALYSTS SHRED WARNING ON CHRISTIAN TSUNAMI IN MALAYSIA

Political analyst Khoo Kay Peng said if the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) Government was sensitive to the needs of Christians, it need not worry about any threat to the survival of Malays and Islam in the country.

A bigger concern was the impact of the “Allah” ruling, said political analyst Khoo Kay Peng, adding that it touched on Christian sensitivities, especially since there was worldwide condemnation over the ruling.

"Christianity is practised by only 9% of the Malaysian population. The only electoral threat could come from Sabah and Sarawak. If the BN-led government is sensitive to the needs of Christians, there should not be any threat," he said.

Last week, Datuk Zulkifli Noordin a Deputy President of PERKASA (NGO) highlighted seven threats to the survival of Malay-Islam in Malaysia and warned that the 14^th General Election may turn out to be a "Christian tsunami" if the threats were ignored.

He had also listed Pakatan Rakyat, Singapore, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and liberal Malays as threats.

According to Zulkifli, the Catholic church’s move to drag the “Allah” issue to court was provocative and had insulted Muslims.

Another, political scientist Dr Jayum A Jawan from Universiti Putra Malaysia  dismissed Zulkifli’s warning, saying the Perkasa leader was just looking for a bogeyman.

"I don’t think anyone is trying to convert anybody. This is about faith and beliefs. 
People either embrace Islam or embrace Christianity, there is no conversion going on.

“They are making these allegations and spreading this talk for reasons best known to themselves."

Universiti Malaysia Sarawak political analyst Dr Arnold Puyok agreed, saying: "If there is any threat of proselytising, Perkasa must provide proof of its allegations.

"They are playing with fire by saying such things and the authorities must prevent them from doing so in the name of national security and harmony."
