Religious Council: Stand of Minister is outrageous

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism is appalled by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Nancy Shukri's statement that the call by Perkasa Chief, Datuk Ibrahim Ali, to burn Malay-language Bibles was not seditious "as it was done to protect Islam".

"This reason is very repulsive, legally untenable and outrageous as it seems to give licence to such persons to continue making such racially and religiously provocative statements.

"The call to burn bibles is clearly a criminal act and is against our Constitution and rule of law. If this was allowed then we are no different from ISIL (or also known as Islamic State, IS) which has committed various criminal acts and beheadings, all in the name of Islam," the Council said in a statement, Wednesday.

In the statement signed by President, Jagir Singh and its Deputy President Dato Seri Jit Heng, vice presidents Tan Hoe Chieow, Kong Yeng Phooi and Datuk R S Mohan Shan as well as secretary general, Prematilaka KD Serisena, the Council said Nancy, who is the de facto Minister of Law should also know that "intention" is immaterial in a sedition charge in Malaysia.

"This is the reason that there is so much opposition to the sedition charges preferred against scholars, lawyers, activists, students among others," the Council said.

"In our multi-racial country any call to burn the Holy Books of another religion would definitely mean having crossed the red line. If Ibrahim Ali is not to be prosecuted then the Government has no moral right to prosecute others who have at most made some seemingly arguable and controversial statements," said the Council.

The Council also questioned Nancy's statement in justifying her earlier statements that it was allowed under the spirit of the Article 11 (4) of the Federal Constitution.

"This is really mind boggling. How could Article 11 (4) ever be interpreted as to condone criminal acts? In fact, Article 11 (5) effectively negates what Nancy said by providing 'this Article does not authorise any act contrary to any general law relating to public order, public health or morality," the Council said.

Among others, Ibrahim Ali had also breached Section 298 of the Penal Code for "uttering words, etc, with deliberate intent to wound the religious feeling of any person."

Discovering Buddhism: Mind and Its Potential

Discovering Buddhism: Mind and Its Potential - Video

Midterm week is upon the campus, and so is the stress that many students face while studying for exams among their already busy schedules.

The stress is apparent throughout Parks Library with students' faces buried into textbooks. In the midst of the busy college life, it can be difficult for students to balance their busy class schedules, work and various other student clubs and activities while trying to make time to study for an exam.

The presence of midterms on campus does not worry Connor Bright, senior in psychology and president of the Dizang-Qi Buddhism Club. He said the Buddhist practice of meditation has helped him deal with stress in his life.

The worst thing about my major is that all my midterms are night exams, said Sean Gay, freshman in meteorology. I was pretty stressed, I had class all day and then night exams, and I was working. I was staying up really late at night and wasn't getting very much sleep.

Gay said that some of the things he does to calm stress is to try to get plenty of sleep, take 15 minutes to call a friend and even taking time after exams to relax and catch up on a favorite TV show. But he had never thought of using meditation as a way of dealing with stress. He said meditation confused him. When he tried to sit in quiet and not think about his stress, he ended up thinking about everything even more, making him more stressed out then he already was, he said.

Most people think about [meditation] in the wrong way, Bright said. They think that they can just sit down and shut themselves up [to calm stress], but that's not what you do. You have to develop this concentration and this focus.

Jie Shao, a sales manager at Lihuatech Co. Ltd and a supportive member of the club, said he tries to put himself in other people's shoes and be open to helping others when it comes to dealing with stress. He thinks the Buddhist meditation method helps with stress and can help others.

I don't want suffering, and at the same time others do not want suffering, Shao said. If suffering is not good, then we should help them eliminate their sufferings too. This is the reason [Buddhists] often do analytical meditation, to understand why we should give people love and kindness.

A couple of the meditation techniques practiced in the club are Samatha, which focuses on a single point, such as breath, and helps to calm. Another is Vipassana, or seeing reality as it really is by self-observing how the body physically senses and how those senses connect to the mind.

We focus on the mind. The purpose is to improve mind quality, Shao said.
