#important new house rules
No discussion or talks about any religious or religious leader/founder because any discussion might lead to some critics or doubts. Abiding with Malaysia law, critics or questioning or comparations about specific religion is an offence of Law. The offenders might have risks of imprisonment or danger of life. So no discussion about that religion matters, but only can ask about the percentage of different faith believers in populations. -
