Blowing up Malaysia!

Many people are angry now, there are alot of Malaysians who are aghast at what has happened!
Note, I say MALAYSIANS are aghast! Not chinese or indians, not buddhist or hindu. This is an attack on Malaysia, all of us has taken a hit.

It is indeed a very very sad thing to see a property destroyed to such degree. I guess, the thing to be  thankful for is that no one was actually hurt in all these attacks. 


Even the night guard (who was on duty at the Metro Tabernacle) escaped as he needed to use the toilet. It is amazing how God has protected all in this situation. The perpetrator and the victims are taken care of by God.

Having said all that, it was still sad to hear the building so badly damaged. I was thinking to myself, there must be a silver lining to this situation. There must be a reson this has happened, and how do we turn such a negative event into something positive and productive. There must be a good reason that this has happened. There must be a very good reason.., THERE HAS TO BE.

Then, the reason was revealed in the show of support from Muslims & other Malaysians alike. A nation that can rise to condemn and speak against this atrocity will unite as a people. We will no longer look at each other based on our differences, but based on our commonality. We are Malaysians and no one does something like that to our people and hear nothing from ALL of us (even if the perpetrators are amongst us).

One of our pastor friend received this wonderful text from the President of the Islamic Propagation Society International (IPSI).
"Good Evening Mr Kuilan, I Haji Kamaruddin Abdullah of IPSI strongly condemn the arson attack of the Metro Tabernacle Church in KL. We are now prepared to protect the safety of the churches in Malaysia. Please call us. OUR LOVE AND CARE TO OUR CHRISTIAN BRETHREN."

So, while the building is destroyed, I am glad to say that the spirit of unity is strengthened. And that is what we should all focus on. At this time of trouble, there is enemy in our midst hoping to tear us Malaysians apart. After they have done that, they will rape our country and pillage our people.

Let all Malaysians stand together against this act of violence and terrorism. Let us unite for our beloved country.
