LGBT in Malaysia

Hi everyone... today i want to discuss with you on social issue among malaysian which is LGBT. 

               

LGBT, or GLBT, is an initialism that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. In use since the 1990s, the term is an adaptation of the initialism LGBT, which was used to replace the term gay in reference to the LGBT community. beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s. Activists believed that the term gay community. did not accurately represent all those to whom it referred.

               Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Malaysia face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBTresidents. Sodomy is a crime in the country, under a British Empire colonial era law. Social attitudes towards the LGBT community are also shaped by Islam, the official religion in Malaysia.

Malaysia will not recognise LGBT culture or same-sex marriage in the country as it does not subscribe to “Western values”, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

“While the government respects recommendations made by the Malaysian Human Rights Commis­sion (Suhakam) on many human rights issues, some things are only meant for the West.

“Suhakam made a presentation today. While we agree with suggestions made by Suhakam, we must remind them that our value system is not the same with the West. They are more free.

“There are certain things that we cannot accept even though it is accepted as human rights in the West.

“This includes LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) and same-sex marriage,” said Dr Mahathir, after chairing a meeting with the special Cabinet committee on anti-corruption here yesterday.

The Prime Minister said Malay­sia’s concept of a marriage only involved a man and a woman.

“A couple with their own children, or even adopted children, is considered a family. But two men and two women is not considered a family,” he said.

The doctor who served at King Perempuan Zainab 11 Hospital also wrote an open letter to Marina on Facebook on August 6, 2018.

Here is an open letter Dr. Nur IIyani to Marina:

Facing Cik Puan Marina bt Mahathir

1) I am a medical doctor and I do not recognize free sex acts.

2) Do you agree now that those who dominate the HIV charts are among the LGBT community?

3) Until now, even though the patients present treatment I belong to LGBT, I still treat them as patients and give them the best treatment. What's more, if they are at the end of their age. So, what rights are you fighting for?

4) Does Ms. agree if any blood donated by LGBTs is donated to one of Ms's family members? (Right now LGBT practitioners are not allowed to donate blood due to high-risk lifestyles). Is that the equality that Miss wants?

5) If you shout right, then we also want to shake the right to live peacefully and free of invasive lifestyle and all its inherited illnesses.

6) However, if you start promoting such a lifestyle in the media, you have begun to harass the security and order of our lives to gain pure access to media.

7) We also have the right to ensure that our children and our relatives are saved from falling into this reverse thinking and act. Na'uzubillah.

8) Finally, if you feel that it is not a sin and it is a personal right, make it but make sure you are not on God's earth!
