ORIGINAL: JieXian Yes, the ruling party, Islam Party of Malaysia at those states is not the the ruling party of the country for quite a long time, and hence the government spends less money on developing Kelantan and Terrengganu - which may be good news for you. However I heard that few non-Muslims are seriously disturbed. And in some cases, they can be more tolerant in contrast to the people in Shah Alam. Especially since you're a Westerner, you won't have many racial or religious problems directly affecting you but I was just describing the situation we have among ourselves. At most, in those 2 states, I heard that women have to wear long sleeve shirts and pants. The farther away from bigotry, obtrusiveness, slyness and dismiss of nature / animal torture, the better. BTW, I read certain ways of dealing with stray dogs to exist in Malaysia too; which would be gunned groups frisking towns and shooting the animals. ( There was a stray dog that used to hide himself on an empty lot beside my house. Outstandingly intelligent already since his times as a solitary puppy. During the last "cleaning operation", which meant a group of "cleaners" shooting around in this village with small caliber rifles every night for 6 consecutive days or so, collecting carcasses on trucks like bricks, I once saw him bringing with himself another six or seven dogs for hiding away. Totally silently like shadows they flit and crawled beneath the gate into the lot, one after the other. However, behind the lots wall, on a neighbour´s yard there live big German Schnautzer dogs and one small lap-dog. While the schnauzers remained completely still [ remarkable anyway, how all the inclosed dogs of the village kept quiet throughout the terror period, with only every other time briefly sounding as if for to warn the strays like "Watch out, they are around here!") the lap-dog started barking like mad, obviously intending to reveal the refugees. He wouldn´t stop, until the refugees decided to leave again. [ Last in line, a huge beautiful German shepperd, apparently fearing to lose connection, panicked and finally freed himself with a desperate tremendous jump over the wall. Heartbreaking to watch.] How that scenery with that barking lap-dog reminded me of merciless informers during the Third Reich ... How inferiour characters, sheltered themselves as privileged of a regime, increase their sudden gloating by denouncing the hunted. After that week all strays had disappeared, leaving me with a pity feeling, about all of these creatures, but especially about that one dog. Who clever enough to survive solely, obviously had tried to help out a bunch of fellow hounds too. The massacre routine must have been some 8 months or more ago. And last week I saw him again, still alive, the Zorro of the dogs. Reeled in, covert behind a piece of long gras on the lot beside my house.) As I conclude, human species without the help of wolves, then dogs would had not survived the defiles of the past tenthousands of years, yet men fails to show remotely appropriate appreciation. Starting with involuntarily mistreating pet lovers who never ever cared to learn about the demands and means of communication of their pets, up to massive cruelty routinely excerted, especially in ( South-East ) Asia. And in between the contempt of the muslim wolrd. Just because whoever haphazard mind once pleased to categorize dogs as unholy. - As you mentioned eastern Malaysia to be muslim, I guess Seri Tanjung Penang to be under corresponding mentality too, right?
