I'm a Malaysian who was prosecuted under Akta Hasutan for 3R stuff in 2013.

I skipped bail, and I've been living overseas for 12 years now, but my charge is still pending.

If I return now, what are the chances that they'll:

1. Toss me in prison for a long time? Anything a year or more is long to me.

2. Toss me in prison for a short time?

3. Slap me on the wrist (e.g. RM5k denda)

4. Drop my charges fully, because it's no longer politically expedient to pursue these types of cases?

I might be delulu, but somehow I'm predicting something more like 3 or 4, especially after so much time has lapsed.

But what do you think?

I thought Ajar content on YouTube was Islamic leaning, but somehow it brought people who are anti-Islam to this sub

I think I joined this sub a few years ago, tak lah macam ni sangat

Edit: Saya kurang setuju penggunaan bahasa yang berbaur sinis atau sindiran. Ya, walaupun kita bangga dengan Islam, tapi saya rasa penggunaan bahasa seperti ini bertentangan dengan banyak ajaran Islam.

To think Prophet Muhammad SAW spent 23 years of his life preaching to people and being condemned and persecuted. Would he speak to other people this way? I don't think so.

So do be respectful in your speech, as the prophet would be.

Title says it all.

Please give substantial answers and reasons, and not shallow one-liners.

Do you guy also have the same energy towards husbands that works offshore that goes to offshore for 3-6 months?

At least tabligh's trip is once a year if im not mistaken. And offshore workers are one trip then back on land, then offshore again, then land again, and repeat.

Geniunely want to know, because I joined tabligh and I have no issue with them going out on their religion trip.

FAFO

Title might sound different from what I actually want to ask because I can't word it nicely lol.

I am an atheist, I had always known I am an atheist. My family are Hindu Indians. I had visited Buddhist temples, churches and certain mosques. What I had noticed is that other religions, including Christians, Muslims and Buddhists always offer help to its devotees.

I had a lot of Christian friends where if someone got into an accident or fall into debts, the churches offer to give wheelchairs, pay a certain amount of money, offer help to clean houses etc.

Same with Muslims, I know plenty religious places that do volunteering work, religious classes for free, and there is also a nearby mosque that gives free football lesson and silat.

I also know some Buddhist temples, one that my father loves to visit with my aunt, where they offer free counseling service and had funded a library, while also offering help to their devotees. My father is Hindu, but the buddhist temple offered to take care of his sick father that time.

And then we have indian temples. Maybe all the temples I went to are just really bad or something but I had went to a lot of temples, more than mosques, churches and buddhist temple combined cause duh, I live with a Hindu family and used to be Hindu. When I tell you, it is as if instead of them offering help to the devotees, they expect help from the devotees, while doing nothing in return.

I know one kuil that calls my mother at least once every week saying that they need money to buy ritual items for a random auspicious day. It is honestly annoying because I just don't understand why you need to buy a lot of flowers and milk just to waste them away in a ritual. And if thats not enough, this particular kuil decided to demolish the kuil on their own accord because they want to rebuild it into a more beautiful and big kuil. But here is the thing, they didn't have the money for it. So they just demolished it, and are asking for money from the devotee, saying that they need to build the kuil fast or else there would be a bad omen since the god statues are homeless. They could just build a small kuil with the current money they got from everyone but noo, they want more because they want a pretty and big kuil.

I just dont understand why the fuck you would demolish a temple if you do not even have the money to rebuild it. It has been two years, they still haven't build the temple because they have no money, and they kept calling everyone that has a phone for money for rituals and this and that. There is another kuil that comes to our house just to ask us to buy ritual stuff, and everytime they ask, my mum goes out of her way to buy them, saying that its because our family would get a lot of divine goodness. Idk bro, I personally think God will like it more if the devotees spend time doing something actually good instead of rituals but thats just me.

Whats more annoying is that these two kuils are in an undeveloped estate area with a lot of poor family, but this kuil is literally leeching off these people instead of offering help to them, if that makes sense? My mum is doing a subsidised tamil preschool in this area, and these people dont even have money to pay RM50 for their children monthly preschool fee, and yet they are throwing money to a kuil for what?? I genuinely dont understand??

At least you would assume the food they give aftee a big ritual isfree but nooo, all food is a potluck from the devotees, the kuil does absolutely nothing.

I also know another kuil that I went to celebrate my brother's birthday there. The kuil also had an orphanage house and that was honestly a good idea, ONLY TO SEE THAT THE KUIL WAS MAKING THE KIDS BUILDING AN EXTENSION FOR THE KUIL BUILDING!!! I would have clapped my hands if they were doing something like painting murals or help carrying bricks, but no, they were legit mixing cement, arranging bricks and digging the ground. That was around 9 years ago so I was just an immature kid myself. I heard the kuil got demolished now and I hope that is true.

I dont know guys, yall can down vote me to hell, but it is just really frustrating to see how some kuils are literally leeching its people in the name of religion. They could do literally anything, they could offer thevaram class, bharathyanatyam class of maybe silambam, but nothing. I know another temple from my uncle that stopped its silambam classes because they want money to make the temple bigger. And these pricks would also be the same people that would cry that their culture is gone. And let's not get started on the other judgy stuff they do in the name of religion. I know Hinduism is a very good religion regardless my belief in god, but the people pretending to practice it are absolute shit.

If you guys know any good kuils out there that is genuinely helping people, please for the love of God, let me know because the number of shit kuils I see are too many. Everytime I drive pass these kuils, I feel so protective of my money. I go out of my way to donate my money to a mosque and a church because I find better use there. For Indians, Its all stupid claims that *insert kuil name* is very powerful so you should bow until your head hits your toes and not question anything about how the money is spent. I had seen indian clubs run by broke college students that do better things than these kuils that had apparently been there since your great great grandpa's birth.

Thank you for listening to my crash out

In this video, Siti Kasim discusses the complexities and legal challenges surrounding the issue of leaving Islam (apostasy) in Malaysia.

​Key Highlights and Arguments

• ​Legal Discrepancies: Siti highlights the conflict between the Federal Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion under Article 11, and various state-level Shariah laws that criminalize or severely restrict the process of leaving Islam [01:21].

• ​Role of Shariah Courts: She explains that in many states, the Shariah Court has the sole jurisdiction to determine if a person is no longer a Muslim. However, these courts often prioritize "rehabilitation" rather than granting the application to leave [05:42].

• ​The "Freedom to Dignity" Message: Wearing a shirt with the slogan "Freedom to Dignity," Siti emphasizes that the right to choose one's faith is a matter of personal dignity and human rights that should not be dictated by the state [00:15].

• ​Social and Legal Consequences: The video touches upon the practical difficulties faced by those who wish to leave the faith, including the inability to change their religious status on national ID cards (MyKad), which affects marriage, inheritance, and burial rights [12:35].

• ​Call for Reform: Siti advocates for a more compassionate and legally consistent approach that respects individual autonomy and aligns state laws with the overarching principles of the Federal Constitution [25:10].

​The video serves as a critical commentary on the intersection of religion, law, and human rights within the Malaysian context.
