The Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS) has banned an Indonesia song which contains the word "Allah" to "prevent Muslims from being confused".
Anyone found playing or singing the song, "Allah Peduli" (God Cares) may be fined up to RM1,000.00 under the Non-Muslim Religious Enactment 1988. However, praise Allah, the ban is confined to the state of Selangor only as matters of religion come under state jurisdiction.
My comment: In the true spirit of Article 11 (freedom of religion) of our Constitution, you can catch this song at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x_0ChywET8
Why ban a song? Why is there no ban on corruption, abuse of public authority or abuse of public funds?
When are they going to realise that the word "BAN" will immediately propel the song to the top of the popularity chart?
i agreed wit u .. y BAN a song?... but don u thinx tat better than we BAN the singer?? or the songwriter??.. or even the musican that play tat song???.. they just doing their job.. they got paid for tat! a song tat contains ALLAH but the ends YESUS..for cristians yesus is their god.. same goes to islam .. which ALLAH is the greatest of all..
