malaysiakini and the RESTRICTIONS on the HERALD

It seems that the Home Ministry has issued a veiled threat to the Catholic Church on the use of the word ALLAH.
Hence I do not agree with this writer in malaysiakini who suggests that the 'Herald' must rethink its decision'.
Why does the Cabinet impose such an arbitrary rule when the matter is coming up for hearing soon?
You will recall that the discussions on Section11 were also stifled with dictatorial edicts from the PM and that could also explain why religious intolerance is getting worse in Malaysia.
It also seems that the Home Ministry is taking a tougher stance against religious figures who take part in peaceful vigils. Maybe it could be linked to this ALLAH issue.
Whether you pray to ALLAH or another GOD, it is time all Malaysians pray for deliverance.
ALLAH help us all.
