Accurate polling of Section 23 residents, anyone?

I wish someone could do this - although I don't know whether it is possible.
Go house to house in Section 23 Shah Alam, and get ONE VOTE from each household to see whether they are for or against the relocation of the temple to 200m from their homes.
We know the Hindu Indians will vote for its relocation.
And if there are Chinese residents there, I am quite sure most won't mind either.

I would love to find out what the MALAY residents think.
The town hall meeting, if it was indeed just attended by only Section 23 residents, was full of angry voices and shouting matches just now.
But it was enough to show that maybe Malays are not that tolerant of other religions any more (if indeed the attendees were all from Section 23 - because reports say one third of the residents were booing and sounded very unhappy).

Now if only someone could actually find out through an accurate polling system to find out what all the residents think.
You know why.

I am worried that because of all this noise from both sides of the political spectrum, we do not yet know for sure whether the so-called silent-majority Malays are also AGAINST the idea.
Yes, what if they are totally against the idea also?
What if although 200m is actually quite far from their homes, they don't want no Hindus nearby. No Christians either. No Chinese temple.

After all, these would be the same Malays who agreed with Khir Toyo when he only allowed for a church to be built in Shah Alam Section 22, hidden in an industrialised area. And with restrictions on the church's height and how big the size of the cross should be.

Note that after the cow-head demo, we have PM Najib Razak, Khairy Jamaluddin, Hishammuddin Hussein (one day, condemn, one day praise, then condemn again) and Nazri Aziz who have condemned the provocative demo.
The rest of the pahlawan Melayu, have all kept quiet.
I am so-still waiting for them to say anything. Waiting to exhale.

Mukhriz Mahathir was a disappointment. He condemned the Pakatan government, but offered no solution and did NOT condemn the protest leaders for saying blood will be spilled if the temple is relocated.


In other words after living together in multi-racial Malaysia for so long, what if these days the silent-majority Malays (as compared to the Umnoised or Pakatanised Malays) are less tolerant of other religions?
If an accurate polling was done, and the result is so, that could be the end of Malaysia as you know it.
Just think about it.

It means that modern, middle-class, urban, educated Malays have become more 'Islamic' in the sense that I would call as narrow-Taleban Islamic, kill-all-kafir types.
Not globalised Malays like the ones you see leading American Muslim organisations (I dare not say Singapore Muslim organisations, else someone will shout 'Melayu Singapura tertindas').

That is, after 30 years of so-called Islamisation in Malaysia, what has been produced is not the
urbane, confident, I-can-live-with-everybody, educated Malays ready to take on the world.

That thought is scary.
Very scary for Malaysia.

Then again, scratch that. I am sure that urbane Malays are not like that.
Am I really sure? Errrrr.... not really.


---------------------------------------------------------
As I said before, there are TWO churches and one mosque within 200m of my flat in Singapore in Bishan residential estate, and I don't mind - see Babak 2 here. And the Chinese residents in my area don't complain about the mosque either. But then, that is Singapore.
And since some idiot will say 'Melayu tertindas kat Temasek, so shut up', I don't want to bring this into the debate again.

ADDITION: I just realised that in my previous home in Singapore in Yishun estate, I had a mosque, a church AND a Chinese temple/columbarium all within 200m of each other. Just like in the old Malaysia.
---------------------------------------------------------

And you know what?
Someone should also do a polling of the residents of Section 19.
They have lived there for 26 years with the temple near their homes and waiting for Khir Toyo to resolve the matter.
I am happy to note though, that apart from instigation by Pekida, who built a silat area next to the temple, there had been no reported incident involving Muslims and Hindus.


7pm. HAMMER ON THE NAIL: These comments by ~penarikbeca that the residents who attended the town-hall meeting with Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim just now - They did themselves (Malays, Muslims, Umno or not) a big disservice by calling him names.
Would you dare shout obscenities at PM Najib if he were to hold a dialogue with you. Would any government minister even hold a town-hall meeting (where you get to raise questions openly like that)? In a totally in a free and uncontrolled manner?
And he also scolded the Selangor government for not talking to the residents earlier. This was indeed also part of the problem.
