“Malaysia was formed as a multi-racial and multi-religious nation with a
constitutional democracy which grants equality and religious liberty to all citizens
under the law. However, recent social-political developments have caused deep
concerns that the rights enshrined in the Federal Constitution are being undermined
by racial and religious extremism resulting in political marginalization of minority
groups, increasing authoritarianism in government and society leading to the
restriction of freedom of speech, assembly and association of citizens as well as
encroachment by religious authorities on the fundamental liberties of all citizens.
Many individuals and groups have expressed similar concerns. As Christians, we are
mindful of the call from the Holy Bible to be peacemakers. "Blessed are the
peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God" (Matthew 5:9). As such, we,
members of Kairos Dialogue Network would like to share our Christian social vision
and call upon fellow-Malaysians of good will to come together for rational discourse
and open dialogue. Our hope is that with commitment, we will succeed in building
consensus, regardless of our colour, creed or confession and work together to build a
harmonious, peaceful and progressive society. …”
