Now, instead of making any effort to try and catch converts, they actually want them to turn themselves in to save them the trouble.  How lazy and stupid can the Malaysian government be?!  They must think that the population of converts are actually idiots!!  As for the PM saying that he had not "heard of people being tortured at religious rehabilitation centres", well, OBVIOUSLY!  Which member of his staff is going to tell him that that is what actually happens?  It's called "plausible deniability" dumb-ass!  And if you don't know what that means, then go look it up (if you actually know where to look).  As for the “suddenly these things seem to be coming out one after another" statement, all I can say is, "crawl out from under the rock you've been hiding under!!!"  There is nothing sudden about people wanting to leave an oppresive, subjugating, penal faith that punishes you for looking the wrong way.

PUTRAJAYA: The Prime Minister wants the religious authorities to find out the grouses of Muslims who renounce Islam. 

Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said he had repeatedly told the religious officers to listen to their problems, to learn why they want to leave the faith, and in the case of converts, why they wish to return to their former religion. 

“Find out what they are disappointed with, why a Muslim convert would return to her earlier religion after the death of her husband,” he told newsmen after opening the 18th Conference of International Islamic FIQH Academy here yesterday. 

The Prime Minister, who was asked to comment on the spate of court cases involving people seeking to leave the faith, admitted that he did not know why “suddenly these things seem to be coming out one after another.” 

He recognised, however, that there was a problem and wanted to know the reasons why Muslims were leaving Islam. 

He also said he had not heard of people being tortured at religious rehabilitation centres, and brushed off such claims as wild allegations.
