According to the latest 2020 Census, almost 99% of Singapore's Malay population are predominantly declared themselves as Muslims, including the small populations of 0.4% non-religious and 0.8% other religions, as stated in the following statistics.

Islam442,36898.8%
Christianity2,7430.6%
Roman Catholicism1,0970.2%
Protestantism and other Christians1,6460.4%
No religion1,6400.4%
Buddhism4470.1%
Hinduism2230.1%
Other religions3260.1%

An overwhelming majority of Malays in Singapore are predominantly the followers of Sunni Islam, belonging to the Shāfi'ī (شافعي) school of thought.

A very small Christian community also exists among the local Malays, with approximately 0.6% of Malays are Christians. Despite the facts, the government however has strongly discouraged the publication of the Christian Bible in Malay, and strongly discourages missionaries from attempts to convert the local Muslim/Malay populace. This was done so as not to cause racial and religious tensions in the predominantly Muslim community and because of the reason to protect the Malay Islamic identity, which Islamic image is very ingrained in local Malay culture.

No. I want to know why he jump from frying pan into the fire.

He doesn't want to follow pedophile and bandit who misused God's name for personal comfort and profit.
 
They are all bandits, christians and Muslims. Christian even worse since they seized and control entire american continent, north and south, and the Pacific ocean islands.

We're not talking about other people. We're talking about muhammad, islam's prophet.

muhammad, the founder of islam, was a career bandit. Many moslems years later turned to banditry and slave trafficking for a career, used muhammad's success as a bandit for their religious inspiration and justification.

So was muhammad. He too was a slave trader. In the moslem koran, trading black people as slaves is liked to trading animals and livestock.

Pointing fingers wildly at other people doesn't change the fact that muhammad himself was a successful slave trader and bandit.

That was not how historians see it.
Early arabs were said to be liberators, invited by neighbouring countries to free them from roman enslavement.
Thst was how the arab empire managed to grow so quickly.

The arabs called themselves liberators, just like any other conqueror.

The arab empire grew quickly in a region where both the military powers, the Byzantines and Sassanids, fought each other into the ground.

" Malaysians jailed for renouncing Muslim faith
KELANTAN, Malaysia — Religious freedom has become a hot topic in Malaysia, sparked by a decision made in the Kelantan Sharia Court. Four Malay Muslims had originally applied to change their religion in 1992. Because all ethnic Malays are considered Muslims from birth under the constitution, all four were arrested and imprisoned for 20 months. The four eventually renounced Islam…"

Both my parents are Malay Muslim so by default, I was assigned the same at birth.

Like many other Malay Muslim parents, my mother and father are both devout, conservative Muslims who believe in racial supremacy. They are also staunch supporters of the ruling UMNO Malay nationalist party, which isn’t surprising because race, religion and politics are closely intertwined in Malaysia.


‘Race, religion and politics are closely intertwined in Malaysia.’

Growing up, I was always told to be a good Muslim. I was taught to fear sin and never question my faith. I prayed a lot with my family especially during religious holidays and always listened to my parents.

But all that changed when I became a teenager and experienced a personal awakening in high school, which made me question my personal beliefs.

In the eyes of Islam, homosexuality is considered to be one of the biggest sins and that was something I struggled with for years because I could no longer appreciate the values of my religion as it went against my personal beliefs.

I was 24 when something traumatic happened to me. My school outed my atheism and sexuality to my parents. I was not even informed.



My father was shocked and my mother became hysterical and cried because she could not believe that her obedient son, the one who often joined hands with them in prayer, had chosen the dark path and abandoned his faith.

Members of the school board came down harshly on me and recommended that I meet preachers and religious heads. But my parents left the decision to me.
I eventually dropped out of school because of the way the incident was handled. I didn’t feel safe anymore and developed major trust issues as a result of what happened. I also wanted to avoid further action from the authorities for my own personal safety.
It’s been a few years since the episode but it still haunts me to this day.

Under the law, I am still a Muslim but in my heart, I no longer identify with Islam.

I try to keep an open mind about the religion but I despise the way it is policed and enforced in Malaysia.


‘I despise the way Islam is policed and enforced in Malaysia.’

Muslims in Malaysia often preach about Islam but many fail to understand what the religion is truly about. People should not be persecuted and punished for their values and beliefs or being themselves.

Hate crime in Malaysia is a very real problem. You aren’t allowed to express alternative views when it comes to religion.
My parents, like many others, support the religious authorities because they say they uphold Islamic values. I fully disagree and this has often been a heated point of contention between us. I’ve seen how religious police go after those who choose not to fast on Ramadan or other religious holidays. It’s things like that which played a part in my decision to leave Islam.



For the time being, I have chosen to live a double life and will not risk my peace and personal sanity for anything.

Gerald*​


I grew up with many ex-Muslims who came from strict and conservative Malay families. Many of them lived in fear and as a result, led double lives.

In 2017, I organized a night gathering at a shophouse in Kuala Lumpur where members of our atheist community in Malaysia could openly discuss our views and experiences with religion, without fear of judgment or persecution.
The night was a success. Dozens from all across Malaysia turned up. We laughed, played music and drank alcohol. I even witnessed some ex-Muslims try pork for the first time.
No one was there to demonize Islam.


But I forgot that this was Malaysia, where outing others over religion is encouraged. And because there were Muslim apostates and atheists among us, the gathering was reported to the authorities and sparked a huge public backlash. It even made its way to parliament, where it was attacked by conservative Muslim ministers, one who infamously remarked that atheists “should be hunted down.”

Looking back, I have no regrets. But unfortunately, Malaysia is still living in the dark ages. Laws are used to scare and intimidate atheists and apostates.


Is this how we want to move forward together as a country? We as Malaysians should be better than this.

I am Chinese by race and was given up by my biological parents at a very young age.

The law in Malaysia states that all Malays, as well as those like myself who were abandoned at birth, must be registered as Muslim. It is even stated on our personal identification cards.
After being placed in foster care, I was registered as a Muslim and raised as one.
Growing up, I abided by the teachings of the Quran and was taught to dress modestly. I even wore the hijab.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/jmbndd/british-muslim-apostates-simon-cottee-283
But my life changed after I enrolled in a local university and made more Chinese friends, who exposed me to their beliefs and customs. I even tried pork and loved it, and haven’t looked back. I also met my future partner, a Chinese Christian. I fell in love with him and the freedom that came with being with him. But because I am unable to officially renounce Islam, we have not yet gotten married due to complications involving religious conversion.


I am now in my mid-30s and no longer subscribe to the teachings of Islam because it was not a religion I had chosen out of my own free will.
Religion is taken to extremes in Malaysia. Despite what our government says, many of us know that religion will always dictate our way of life.

‘Religion will always dictate our way of life in Malaysia.’


I will remain a registered Muslim because I have seen and heard too many horror stories of people being outed over their faith, and I do not wish to subject myself or my loved ones to that.

I have indigenous ancestry and was forced to convert to Islam under the law.
I am not a Muslim by choice.
Like other women in my family, I was taught to cover up and wear the hijab, something I was not comfortable with for years.
When I finally decided to stop, much to the dismay of my parents, I felt free. But I was judged very harshly based on my decision.

I am a feminist and identify as a queer woman. I do not agree with many Islamic traditions, like genital mutilation for girls at birth and other restrictions that suppress free will. Malaysia’s Sharia laws also played a big part in my decision to renounce my faith.
I even rescue stray dogs and have adopted two of my own. But because dogs are considered “unclean animals” in Islam, I face many challenges - I get dirty looks when I take my dogs to see the vet.
Fear mongering tactics by our government and the religious authorities have become so common in Malaysia. It’s very sad to see our country transitioning towards an Islamic state governed not by democratic values, but by religion.

Religion is still used to subjugate, intimidate, persecute.
Islam wasn't created until maybe seversl decades after the death of mahomet.
Mahomet tried to destroy mecca. It is currently, in my personal opinion, the biggest pagan ritual centre. Most successful.
Mahomet did not print the quran. That was written down decades later.
