Gay Church in Malaysia ?
Dear Pastors, Bro & Sis,
Gay Church in Malaysia ?
I write this mail to you with a grieving spirit. Some of you may have known about a Malaysian gay being ordained as pastor in USA . His name is Oyoung Wen Feng, a journalist as well as a columnist for Sin Chew Jit Poh, Malaysia .
Oyoung have been wrting articles on Homosexuality since 5 years ago. He spoke on behalf of the homosexuals as well as the lesbians. He claimed that the bible did not say homosexuality being a sin. If you think it is a sin, then you have actually misinterpreted the bible! Over the past years, some writers, including myself, have written several articles to refute him, and were published by Sin Chew. But unfortunately, for the past 2 years, Sin Chew refused to publish our articles!
At first the readers thought that Oyoung was a hero speaking on behalf of the weak. But about one and a half years ago, he openly admitted in his column that he was a gay. And at the same time he published a Chinese book entitled "God Loves Gays". In his book he revealed his story for having sex with a few guys.
Last year, Oyoung divorced his wife of 7 years, claiming that it was a mistake to marry her since he was a gay.
We christians have no platforms to speak against him when Sin Chew refuses to allow us to voice out. Could you believe me? The boss of Sin Chew, Zhang Xiao Qing, is a christian!!! What will be the boss' fate for condoning such an evil? Only God knows!
Could any organization please pressurize Sin Chew? Believe me, evil is looming large in Malaysia if churches in Malaysia ignored his deeds!
Because Oyoung is bringing his senior pastor, Rev. Troy Perry, over to Malaysia to launch a gay church!
On Aug 11 is Q & A time for people who are persecuted as gays and lesbians.

On Aug 11 is Q & A time for people who are persecuted as gays and lesbians.
On Aug 12 is Sunday Worship.
Venue: Grand Olympic Hotel, KL.
Co-ordinator: Joseph, 012-2087 949.
News about the meetings was published in Sin Chew on July 29 & 31.
Oyoung thinks this is America , and we could do everything freely like America . He wants to turn Malaysia into another Sodom & Gomorrah . The reason that he is so bold to confront the Malaysian churches because our leaders usually don’t want to be so-called “busybody”!
The consequence is: more people are getting HIV, and souls won by them would head for hell!
A few of us are trying to do something to stop the 2 meetings. You can do your part in these manners: 1) Praying for us. 2) Send an sms to Joseph. 3) Give a call to Sin Chew and speak to the Executive Editor: 03-7965 8888, or mailto:editorial@sinchew.com.my
Thank you. God bless you.

CFM PRESS STATEMENT
The Christian Federation of Malaysia views with great concern the recent decision of the Court of Appeal in the case of Subashini v. Saravanan, where she, although a non-Muslim, was urged to submit to the jurisdiction of the Syariah courts to seek recourse from the break-up of her family, when her husband converted to Islam.
It is troubling to note, and indeed of great concern to all Malaysians, that what is clearly stated in the Federal Constitution, that the Syariah courts shall have jurisdiction only over persons professing the religion of Islam [Schedule 9, List 11 (1)], is now being extended, by the court decision, to include non-Muslims.
The Christian Federation of Malaysia respects the Federal Constitution to be the supreme law of the country [Art 4 (1)], and therefore, it must guarantee the right of all non-Muslim Malaysian citizens to find justice served in the civil courts of the country.
In view of this development, the Christian Federation of Malaysia joins with all other likeminded Malaysians in raising our concern to the government. Decisions like this impact negatively on the social fabric of Malaysia.
We therefore, call on all elected members of Parliament to do everything within their means to defend our Constitution, and to safeguard the right of non-Muslim citizens to find remedy and justice in the civil courts in matters pertaining to civil rights and liberties.
