It seems you’re referring to some issues going on in Malaysia concerning the enforcement of Ramadan fasting and the potential infringement on personal freedoms. It is true that Malaysia is increasingly showing signs of religious conservatism, which some interpret as infringing on the country’s long-touted multicultural cohesion. This is manifested in penalties for seen fasting violations during Ramadan, like eating or drinking during daylight hours, in public. These incidents have spurred discussions about religious freedom, cultural diversity, and the balance of traditional customs with personal liberties.
While Malaysia is predominantly Muslim, it’s also home to various ethnic and religious minorities who traditionally have lived with a fair amount of freedom to practice their own customs and religions. It’s worth noting that there are differing viewpoints, and while some see these incidents as a move towards conservancy, others see it as a reinforcement of tradition and religious values.
