For a most recently posted article, it said that the Malaysian lawmakers have condemned a group of Muslim protestors who trampled on a severed cow's head in protest at the building of a Hindu temple, and remained defiant on Sunday over the act.
In the latest religious dispute to erupt in multi-cultural Malaysia, local media said 50 Muslims on Friday took the head of the cow -- a sacred animal for Hindus -- to the central Selangor state government office and stamped on it.
The protest was against the relocation of a Hindu temple to a Muslim-majority neighbourhood in the state. News websites Malaysiakini and The Malaysian Insider published pictures of the bloodied cow head.
Around 60 percent of Malaysia's 27 million people are Muslim Malays, but the country is also home to large Chinese and Indian minorities, variously practising Buddhism, Christianity and Hinduism, among others.
Issues related to religion, language and race are sensitive matters in multi-racial Malaysia, which witnessed deadly riots in 1969. Therefore, on my personal view, it is important to carefully handling such kind issues to avoid any misunderstanding that can affect the union of the nations.

Previously, it was the "Pig Head" issue in the Mosque of University Malaya, now it is the issue of "Cow Head" in Hindu Temple..Since when, the sensitive issue of religion have become the "weapon" for attacking the other religions/races. For all the nations, please stand up to protect your lovely home, support 1 Malaysia!
