I can't reveal my source for this, because it could endanger this person, who isn't muslim.

You want another case - The Catholic Church owns a piece of land in
Shah Alam, Selangor. They want to build a church there. They applied
for permit, and waited, waited, and waited for 27 years. Finally,
nearing an election, the federal government granted them the permit.

So the Catholic church started the project (this was after that
election), and 3 weeks into the project, when only the piling part was
done, the state government of Selangor issued a stop order.

This time, the Selangor state government claimed that the Catholic has
no right to build a church there, because not far away, there is an
Islamic mosque. And according to them, a mosque is "suci", (holy), and
nobody can do any "unholy things" nearby a "holy place".

In other words, if Catholics go to church near a mosque, it's unholy.

Before I continue, some background on this case - the Catholic church
owned that piece of land for MANY, MANY YEARS, and when the Catholic
church started to apply for permit to build a church some 30+ years
ago, there was NO mosque anywhere near that land. The government had
built the mosque much later.

So the case when to court. The court again rule that the state
government was right. Catholics, after all, are not Muslims.

In a "gesture of friendship", the state government of Selangor offer a
"settlement", land-exchange. The government offer the Catholics a
little piece of land deep inside an industrial area, surrounded by
polluting factories, for that (BIG) piece of land that Catholic church
had owned for years. BTW, this land is located in a prime area, and
has a much higher value than that shitty piece of industrial land full
of pollution.

In the end? The Archbishop capitulated, and took the "settlement".

Now the Catholics have a church, but is located in that shitty land.

This, my man, is my country, Malaysia. And I'm supposed to be grateful
to my country. Ha !
