Council Threatens To Demolish Church

A chapel belonging to an Orang Asli community in Machap Umboo, Malacca has been threatened with demolition.

The Alor Gajah Municipal Council has issued a notice to the chapel to remove the structure or face demolition. The council claims the chapel was illegally built.

The Orang Asli are the indigenous people of Malaya. The Machap Umboo settlement is home to some 11 Orang Asli families. The chapel also caters to Orang Asli Christians from nearby settlements.

If the church is demolished it would not be the first Orang Asli church to be demolished by the authorities in Malaya.

In 2005, an Orang Asli church in Johore was demolished for the same reason.

Melaka council rightly demolishes the heretical "church" as the Most Holy Ecumenical Council of Nicea called by Holy Emperor Constantine the Great did to the heretics.

Jesus hates heretics and his hand and legs are the Church (the true one) which break up the sects using that Aloh Gajah council. The Muslims are the true Church, and there is only one Church
