I would like to add my two cents on this emigration issue. I belong to a category of Malaysians who are considering emigrating due to the government's refusal to recognise my personal conscience and religious freedom.

To put it in bluntly, I am what Islam would define as an 'apostate'. After the recent Federal Court ruling on the apostasy case, it seems that I would be in legal limbo indefinitely.

I challenge Dr G Walter and Shaukat Ali to educate me on what other alternative I have other than to emigrate.

If I am not allowed to choose freely the religion that I believe in and be legally recognised for it but instead be constantly harassed socially and legally in Malaysia, the only practical thing is to leave Malaysia.

Or maybe, perhaps I might just be some rubbish to say good riddance to?

For the record, I am not a convert to Islam who has had second thoughts. I was born a Muslim and decided to convert to another religion as a matter of personal conviction.
