LINA JOY
as a person with strong opinions on individual freedom and individual rights, i feel compelled to talk about this.
in my opinion, one of many in fact, its very unfair to her. i know you can look at it from different angles, but from HER perspective, its unfair.
a girl i spoke to once was quite shocked by how definitive religion and race are in malayia. i've learned that it is not just what society determines you as being, what they ascribe to you, but it is also what you associate yourself with. self-definition also counts, and if it doesnt, it should.
i dont know if i've quoted her before, but if i have, sorry for being repetitive. BUT it is for effect. religion shouldnt be something definitive-it should be a choice.
