Islam is the dominant religion there, but I have a friend who grew up there whose family is Buddhist, and I know Hinduism and Christianity are also practiced there.
Obviously, the very mention of "Malaysia" hits a hot button for me. I know that people can practice other religions, but there are also huge signs saying, "Muslims may not enter here" or "Christians not permitted here" etc. I'll be the first to say that I'm talking out of emotion, and probably out of turn. But I will go to my grave making sure that people don't forget my sister - the last letter I received from her was smuggled out of the country, and she begged me to tell people about Malaysia.

I'll shut up now.
