Is politics a taboo topic among Christians? In certain churches, everytime, a political related topic is brought up, someone would say "no politics please!" It is indeed very sad that that this kind of attitude still exists among certain Christians. They seem to be living on an island, void of any feelings of what is happening round them. Not all issues are political in nature. There are social issues too but somehow politicians have turned them into political issues just to gain some political milage. But are we to be silenced by them? Definitely not! In this respect, it is heartening to note the the Catholic church has been and is still being vocal on the current religious issues affecting our faith. Read here for more.
The common excuse is "What can we do?". Plenty! For a start, register as a voter and if you have, get those who have not, to register. There are groups of volunteers going round to carry out registration. According to the Election Commission (EC) Deputy Chairman, Wan Ahmad Wan Omar in a report dated in January 2010, 4.39 million or some 28% of Malaysians over the age of 21 has yet to register as a voter.
The best way to predict your future is to create it yourself.
