RM428 million for mosques and RM8 million for others
In a 60/40 population, 428 million versus 8 million doesn’t look balanced no matter how you cut it. And that is just for the period between 2005 and 2008.
Let’s do the maths:
428/ 42 months (from Jan 2005 until June 2008) = 10.19 million per month.
8/42 months = 190,000 per month.
That means mosques get 53.63 times more than other places of worship month-wise. Over the said period, its 53.5 times more than the allocation for temples and churches.
And bear in mind that this amount is to be shared between temples (Hindus, Buddhists, Taoist?) and churches.
The deputy minister for Internal Security also said that the government has been disbursing RM1 million per year for temples/churches and Hindu temples respectively for physical construction projects.
