I refer to the letter The 'Chinese ethnic Islamic scholar' is his own worst enemy .

I was shocked to read the article by Dr Ridhuan Tee Abdullah in Mingguan Malaysia on Dec 27. Though I am not a reader of Utusan Malaysia , I decided to check the article out after reading about it here..

In his article, he had made an unwarranted comment against Christians. He claims that Christians have only recently decided to use the word ‘Allah’ and they are doing it for the purpose of confusing Muslims!

It is very disappointing to know that such a wild accusation could come from a supposedly- esteemed scholar like Tee.

His statement reflects his ignorance. That a scholar could show such ignorance speaks volumes about the quality of our academicians.

For Tee's information, the word ‘Allah’ has been used by Christians in Sabah and Sarawak long before the formation of Malaysia.

With the large presence of Sabahan and Sarawakian Christians in West Malaysia, it is not surprising to find large quantities of Christian literature in the Malay language in West Malaysia.

If Tee cannot accept this, then he might as well suggest Sabah and Sarawak leave Malaysia. One irony of the article he wrote was that the title seemed to be a criticism of himself.
