KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 13 — What makes one perceived as less of a Buddhist, Muslim, Christian or Hindu? Here's what Malaysians think, based on the latest survey by non-partisan and non-advocacy pollster Pew Research Center.
The corresponding proportion for Christians in Malaysia was 53 per cent for Wesak, followed by 35 per cent for the Muslim festival of Eid which is better known here as Hari Raya Aidilfitri. The report however did not define what"celebrating" would mean, including whether it refers to participating in religious ceremonies. In multireligious and multiethnic Malaysia, such festivals are often marked with public holidays and the practice of visiting each other or hosting open house events.
While 98 per cent of local Muslims and 83 per cent of Hindus said a person cannot be truly a member of their religion if they drink alcohol, a relatively lower percentage was seen saying the same thing among Christians and Buddhists .
