Alaneth. Correction. Malaysia is not a Muslim country. Are you an UMNO member? Malaysia it is claimed is Muslim majority, and that too possibly with the arrivals of Indons and Filipinos.
But if you say the ARMED services are 90% Muslim you are right.

No use talking & expressing our anger here….

No use if this issue is confined inside DAP blog only - of course we all here will vote DAP.

All should go out & debate/discuss this news to your other friends of different political ideology - use this as a stepping stone, tell others - we have one choice, one solution - Vote DAP!!!

There is no case of Body-Snatching in other Muslim countries.

In wahhabi Saudi Arabia, in taliban Afghanistan, in extremist Iran, there is not a single case of non-Muslims snatached and buried as Muslims.

They say the dead cannot talk - so they cannot testify they are not Muslims.
But the Dead can Vote!….

Malaysia has twisted and distorted Islam to suit its likes and fancies. This makes Malaysian Islam a “MUTANT” which cannot be accepted in Islamic countries, so how can it then proclaim itself to be an ISLAMIC NATION?

â€œIn the event nothing can be done I suggest that the Gan family carried out the chinese burial ceremony on the Muslim burial ground now and every year during Cheng Beng.â€ Samson

To do so would be to blasphemy Islam. You don’t want to do that.

“JUSTICE MUST prevail to ALL.”

When the law has been manipulated, justice is no longer justice. But ideologues on the internet will not bring the justice we seek nearer.

“Stoking the flames of racial discord is irresponsible to say the least, and whatâ€™s more may get the host in deep trouble. There are enemies of the DAP waiting for comments on this blog like this one.”-DarkHorse

This has nothing to do with stoking the racial discord. This is the matter of rituals/ceremonials beliefs, the constitutional rights which should be accorded to the affected family. To a Chinese, which the Muslims bigots can never understand, customary ceremonies and rituals are important, therefore to snatch the body from the family will deprive the family from performing the rituals and rites for the beloved father at the burial or in the event of upcoming festivals.

In the mind of the family, the deceased father did not convert to Muslim and died as a Taoist/Buddhist. In Chinese traditions/beliefs, it is the duty of the living to pray for and feed the dead during Cheng Beng. So unjustly was the body been taken away with NO RESPECT to the mourning family therefore it is fair that at least the family members be given the rights to perform their ceremonial rites during any up coming Chinese festivals at the burial site.

In terms of legal implications as to whether the deceased is a Muslim or not, there is NONE as the case was an outright robbery and snatching by the authorities. Clearly we see great INJUSTICE has been done to the Chinese minority family.

The party that started the racial discords and injustice are always the people in authority.

JUSTICE MUST prevail to ALL.
