    Malaysia’s Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and his government are primitive, uncivilised, uneducated morons who bring enormous shame and embarrassment to their country.

    “The symptoms of sexual orientation disorder like LGBT, which was previously faced by the Western society are now faced in our society also.”

    Oh so gay Malaysians is a new phenonemon they imported from the west now?
    I’m obviously a bad influence on my Malay BF, he was coming on pretty strong when I first met him on Canal st.

    Malaysia brings shame on the region with it’s attitudes towards gays. Their neighbours do not seem to have a problem with it. Instead of wasting money on trying to cure the incurable they should just decriminalise it.

    Gay people have been around since the beginning of time and people know this. Why do they act like it is something new? The Christians don’t have any way they can change gays so they turn to psychiatry who are also a scam and a fraud who can do nothing but shock treat people and put them on pills that are nothing more than a mental straight jackets. Christians need to follow their Bible and do what God told them to do, treat all equal with love. After all God made gay men too. The truth is the only thing Christians and psychiatry is doing is harming gays with their abusive treatments. Christians and psychiatry have failed and are using force to destroy LGBT people as an insane solution to their hate of gays who the Christians view as sinners and the religious people think they are God and can judge the gays on earth when it is God in heaven who will judge all sinners even the Christians and psychiatrist who harm LGBT people in the name of “help”.

      Malaysia is most likely a muslim country, not christian, and we know they are a direct import from the middle ages.

      ….Psychiatry will have nothing to do with it as they know it is not a psychological condition However psycho therapists who are mostly ill educated quacks, are being used for this nefarious purpose. Xtians don’t follow their buybul because they all know deep down that is so much bunkum which they use to attempt control of their fellow man, usually the ill educated and people of low intellect. As for some deity making Gay people, who made the deity. It is rubbish and there were gays when we were covered in hair and swinging through the trees in Africa millions of years ago.

      Religion really needs to get with reality, because if they continue on this intellectually bereft course they have set this last few years they are going to loose and loose big. The ignorant control obsessed freaks who are the sooth sayers of religion are leading their followers to oblivion and derision. Gay people will prevail in the long run and there will be only one loser , religion……..

        ……….because we have right on our side and all they have is myth and superstition. As more and more people get educated they will see religion for what it really is, and always was. A means to control their fellow man and give themselves aggrandisement and wealth beyond what any of them could ever hope to achieve with a non existent intellect.

  6. I would like to suggest to this Malay-Muslim moron, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, that he commit the government’s entire budget to eradicating this gay ‘phenomenon’, because it (read – gay ‘phenomenon’) in Malaysia is not going anywhere!

    1. Well, Indonesia is 86% Muslim and the situation there is nowhere near as bad. Malaysia, which is a materially prosperous country, is really disgracefully behindhand here.

    LGBT people have been around as long as man and most people know this. Gays are not new, only the fact that they are no longer afraid to be who they are and they are no longer hiding it. Religion and Governments who abuse LGBT people because they say it is a problem are really just being a bigger problem by harming gays and are only making things worse. Using religion to stop gays does not work and using psychiatry to stop gays also does not work. Using force to destroy gays is a crime against humanity. What governments and religion and mental health people need to do is find out why they want to destroy gay people who only want to love one another and get married and have decent jobs like anybody else. It seems the governments and religion and mental health people have a problem that they need treated for when they attack and harm LGBT people. Harming another person is a crime no matter who you are or who you think you are.

    How can people like this be in charge of a country? Terrifying.

    As is usually the case, it was homophobia that Malaysia imported from the West, not homosexuality.

    And in its current incarnation, gay panic in Malaysia is all about a government in trouble trying to ensure its base doesn’t defect to the Islamist- dominated coalition.

    I have commented several times on PN recently that we will see more of this in the run-up to the general election. In fact I’ll be relieved if this is as bad as it gets.

    Since no reputable international counselling organisation offers reparative “therapy”, the Malaysian International Counselling Association will struggle to spend their RM100,000. Here’s a clue for the MICA: anyone willing to take this money from you is by definition regarded as a charlatan by every reputable counselling group.

    When some of this money starts being shovelled to NARTH, the international embarrassment may make the government regret poisoning its education development agenda with religious dogma in such a high-profile way.

  14. Instead of wasting money to cure this ‘gay disease’, I think that sum of money is better off used to set up a rehab to cure the urge to cause unrest withih Muslims. After all, almost every terrorism were commited by them. Look at their idea of shaping the world, it is ‘wonderful’. Thank God most First World nations are not Muslim countries, otherwise the world is really going to hell.

    Malaysia’s legal system is based on English Common Law. That’s where the Deputy Prime Minister’s knowledge of Gay History comes to a sudden halt …

    A friend from Malaysia says that bisexuality is rife in the cities. Society disapproves so LGB people don’t openly identify but many lead double lives. Threats of psychotherapy and worse like shock treatment will only make LGB people hide more.
