"Kafir" in Malaysia : someone proposed they ban the use of this term.
I am not sure a ban is appropriate. I identify as a kafir, but not everyone does. It should be debated over a year or two years on public television.
It is the avoidance of public discourse which limits mental development of Malaysians.

I was asked not to encourage derogatory comments.
I am not opposed to derogatory comments.
I am opposed to people who are bothered by derogatory comments.

Regarding a popular response, "kafir means non-Muslim", the dispute arises about what feelings, actions, and modes of interaction, muslims should have with kafirs. This is the only controversial part, I think.

People who are bothered by derogatory comments, are the root cause of everything that is closeted about Malaysia. Probably everywhere else too.
