  • US President Donald Trump's "destructive" tariff policies pose the greatest threat to containing inflation and generating sustainable economic growth for Malaysia, said former finance minister Lim Guan Eng.

The article from Malaysiakini discusses the ongoing debate over the use of the word "Allah" by non-Muslims in Malaysia. It highlights the recent decision by the Court of Appeal to uphold a ban on the use of "Allah" in Christian publications, reversing a 2021 High Court ruling that had allowed the word's use. This decision has reignited discussions on religious freedom and the rights of religious minorities in Malaysia. The article mentions that the Home Ministry has been enforcing this ban since 1986, arguing that the use of "Allah" by non-Muslims could confuse Muslims and lead to conversions. Critics argue that this restriction infringes on constitutional rights to freedom of religion and expression. The case has drawn international attention, with concerns raised about Malaysia's commitment to religious pluralism and human rights. The article also touches on the broader implications for interfaith relations and the potential for increased polarization within the country.
