Mogirurumo | Sorita Kusung a question because im curious for muslim converts

0 Upvotes

im not tryna stir up some controversy.
but if anyone here, any converts? from christians to muslims.

i would like to properly ask you. or anyone here also can debate abt this.

how can you just leave your religion, trus memegahkan to everyone saying things like “ooo i found peace in this religion,” hinting not because they wanna marry a muslim, trus tiba2 besuk2 kahwin.
first la. dont be cringe and try to cakap kau mau pinda agama sbb kau jmpa something d sebelah. bs. have u given the same dedication, effort, love to understand the religion u had before that? i bet no, tapi tiba2 pinda, then post pakai telekung or p sembayang jumaat, tapi cuc sunday mass tdk perna datang🤣😭 its so cringe for me, im sorry.

AGAIN!!!! im not bercakap buruk on islam ya. im just saying these people who convert without rasa itu calling dia, hanya sbb mau kahwin, is very cringe.
i will never fathom that. i dont care about people converting at all. at the end of the day, its between them and God, but these people are taking things too lightly. know and kenal your God before you leave. bukan without any effort trus saying the other field of grass is better.

all religions are good as long as they teach goodness. anyways peace no war ya, im not tryna buat perpecahan kaum just very curious apa drg fikir. if btul2 sensitive dont block me admin, just remove my post😔😔

Self-governance was a milestone in Sabah’s own journey towards self-determination and liberation. This is not about separating Sabah from Malaysia. Sabah deserves to know and remember herself in her own right. 31 August 1963 is an integral part of our history, and remembering it clearly should never be a threat to unity.

Whether 1 September should be an additional public holiday, matters on clashing public holidays was debated in DUN recently. The fact is Sabah Day is not recognised in both the Hari Kelepasan Am nationally and in Sabah.
If the argument is that 31 August is already a public holiday, then does that mean there is no need to separately identify "Sabah Day" alongside "Hari Kebangsaan" in the official Hari Kelepasan Am list?

If Sabah Day is meant to have official recognition, surely its status and treatment need to be reflected through the
appropriate legal/administrative procedure, not simply piggybacking/folded into National Day because the date happens to be the same.
