And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?”
And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself.
And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”
But he, desiring to justify himself said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbour?”
- Luke 10:25-29
“For the information of all and sundry, those temples that were bulldozed were not ‘Indian temples’ but Malaysian temples, built on Malaysian soil, frequented by Malaysians, paid for by Malaysians and they were part of the Malaysian landscape.
There are no ‘Indian Temples’ in Malaysia- Indian temples exist in India and if you don’t believe me then fly to India and check them out yourself. Likewise the only ‘Indians’ in Malaysia are the tourists, expats and workers who come from India and happen to be Indian nationals bearing Indian passports.
Those Hindus who marched in the streets of Kuala Lumpur on Sunday happen to be Malaysians like you.” – Farish Noor in Hindraf, Communitarianism and the Made-In-Malaysia Dilemma.
Who is your neighbour, or are you asking the wrong question in the first place…?
