Kyle Immanuel Khairudin, a singaporean has been a long life freethinker maybe since his teenage days i supposed and for the sake of the loved one's and also the need to choose his true believes, he recently spoke of what he really embrace. christianity. and yes, he was born muslim malays.
"many people assume that i'm malay, i must be muslim, but i'm not." for some of us in malaysia would rather accused him of being blasphemous but this situation is currently evolve in some areas in malaysia.
for people like Kyle it seems to be an easy choice afterall, Singapore is a secular and totally democratic country with no religion authority like we have in Malaysia.

i'm really aware of what's happening in our society and actually sail deeply in the heart of this kind of culture. some of my friends are freethinker's. i'm not blaming them and obviously not really care in what terms they belive in but most of the time i'm amaze upon people's perception with this matter. it amaze me that in malaysia, being racism is far more acceptable than religous matter. at least Kyle believes in what he see and what he feels that being a malay by birth doe'snt mean he have to embrace islam and actually prove to us maybe in a blasphemous kinda way.
people are still spooned with the religous and well addressed perception about the society in media and everywhere yet leaving behind the true colour of misled and 'lost' society that i'm befriends with. with that kind of perception, im not shocked that malaysian are still going strong with the race issue.
it is shocked that malaysians are still not aware of the real terms of embracing islam. playing racial issue's in democratic party seems to be the main agenda for malaysians nowadays. i still havent got a clue where does the racial things going after election is over? as far as i'm concern, still nowhere.
i'm totally not worthy of bragging about faith but i knew one thing:
religion is sacred. its between u and god. only u and god. faith is the only thing that u hold on to. not race. jew is race. judaism is religion.
the real deal is, are we ready for this yet? i dont think so.
