According to the dictionary, to proselytise is to induce someone to convert to one’s faith or to recruit someone to join one’s party, institution, or cause. Dr Hassan Ali, my ex-Intan colleague and state exco member for Islamic Matters and Malay Culture in Selangor, says he has proof that there were attempts to proselytise the 12 Muslims at the DUMC ‘muhibbah and thanksgiving fund-raising dinner for AIDs related cases’.
