What would you be willing to go to prison for, in Malaysia?

1.

This old law has come up in the past month's media discussions, around a parliamentary barb regarding the use of Islamic words by non-Muslims ( section 9 ). But sections 4 to 8 are of public interest also.

In 2026, this law is 38-years-old, enacted 31 years after independence. It has parallels in every state, except Sabah, Sarawak, Penang, and the Federal Territories.

1988 in Malaysia was a furnace :

• - the Cold War was in its end phase
• - Anwar Ibrahim's ABIM Islamisation effort was in its late phase
• - Mahathir's cabinet was locking up journalists and activists under Operation Weeds, and establishing a constitutional crisis / judicial winter

I was about five-years-old, growing up in the capital city, with parents who were career clerics in a non-Islamic faith. It became my understanding that civil social arrest was "a Malaysian norm", as Anwar Ibrahim's end-early-career Reformasi movement reached a peak a decade later, while I was adolescent.

In 2026, it is still "a Malaysian norm" that annoying people get arrested. I have always identified as an annoying person, even though my current religious proclivity is materialist, and agnostic with regards to the concept of deity. So I spent some time during college preparing myself for solitary confinement, "just in case".

Anyhow, in discussing this with local friends from different backgrounds, I found it funny that many of us have different relationships with the law. Some are prepared to be jailed for civil societal development, or simply personal preferences.

Others risk jail for drug possession, dangerous driving, or other misdemeanours. Some people consider bribery to avoid enforcement, "a Malaysian norm", some personally are committed to non-bribery.

Some people depend on wealth and social status to avoid enforcement, "a global norm", whereas masses of poorer citizens are incarcerated for possession of a few grams of this or that, outburst, and other crimes leading from economic misfortune.

I myself, pleaded guilty to a jailable offense, during a period of my life which was fully committed to the operations of a commercial enterprise.

I was once asked at a party, "would you die for your country?" But that is a slightly different, as it made me wonder if I was being tested by an agent of an undetermined government.
