The holy month of Ramadan is often associated with introspection and prayer. But in Malaysia, this month often exposes holes in the country's delicate social fabric.

Recently, non-Muslim students in Sungai Petani were ordered not to drink in front of their Muslim friends while another student in Shah Alam had his necklace, which bore a cross, confiscated .

But for the Friendship Group of Interfaith Services (FGIS), the month of Ramadan is an opportunity to bridge the religious divide and preach religious harmony.
