Anglican Province in SEA (APSEA) should apologise to Christians to call themself "Non legal entity".

Bopim demanded that the church apologise to Christians in the country, especially its congregation, put back the cross where it rightfully belongs, promise not to cave in to fringe groups, stand up for constitutional rights including the separation of church and state and the rule of law. Action of church shameful, says NGO Published on: Thursday, April 23, 2015 Email to a friend Printer Friendly Kota Kinabalu: The church at Taman Medan in Petaling Jaya shamed Malaysians, especially in the Christian heartland of the country, Sabah and Sarawak, for not knowing its rights under the Federal Constitution, said UK-based Borneo's Plight in Malaysia Foundation (Bopim). "Such a thing could never happen in Sabah or Sarawak. We will not allow it," said its President Daniel John Jambun, adding Muslims who claimed that the cross on the wall's exterior was a challenge to Islam "don't know what their faith is all about." Bopim, an apolitical human rights NGO, expressed surprise that the Church in Taman Medan, caved-in to threats and intimidation and quickly brought down the cross in response to demands by a group of 50 unruly protesters on Sunday. It attributed the protest to "the Barisan Nasional (BN) provoking politically-motivated incidents in Pakatan Rakyat-ruled states". Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), he said, was in the shape of the biggest cross in the country. "Airplanes are in the shape of a cross. Then, we have the plus sign and many other things in the shape of a cross." The church's "cowardly tail between the legs" reaction was shameful, humiliating and hurts our feelings and sentiments, he said. Bopim demanded that the church apologise to Christians in the country, especially its congregation, put back the cross where it rightfully belongs, promise not to cave in to fringe groups, stand up for constitutional rights including the separation of church and state and the rule of law. Bopim also advised the church to pursue legal options in dealing with the protesters, reportedly sparked off by a WhatsApp group chat. "The church should lodge a police report," said Daniel. "It should also send a letter of demand to the leaders of the group to apologise for the incident on Sunday, publish the apology in the media, retract all demands and statements, promise never to repeat them and compensate the church." If the group ignores the letter of demand, Daniel said the next course of action should be to haul them to court in a civil action suit. "Let the court decide." The NGO expressed confidence that Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi would make good his pledge and charge the 50 protesters, including the IGP's brother, under the Sedition Act.
