“Statement saddens Evangelicals,” from the Malaysian Star Online, with thanks to Twostellas:
PETALING JAYA: The National Evangelical Christian Fellowship (NECF) has expressed regret over a government minister’s remarks that Bibles in Bahasa Malaysia or Bahasa Indonesia were banned.
NECF secretary-general Rev Wong Kim Kong said the remarks by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz Nazri were “inconsistent with the spirit and the letter of our Constitution, which upholds religious freedom for everyone”.
Rev Wong added that the policy was unfair to non-English-speaking Christians.
