- Puja/pooja: in Hinduism means, daily devotion consisting of a ritual offering of food, drink, and ritual actions and prayers, most commonly to an image of a deity
-Increasing and aggressive forcing of wearing the veil to further propagate the “honour” ideology in order to absolutely control women and girls, in resistance to modernity, even before puberty; due to increasing fanatical Islamisation influence of Al-Qaeda/Taliban way of thinking and funding from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Iran. This irrational and primitive process of fanatical Islamisation (ie. within political Islam sphere) is increasingly spreading like wildfire in Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and Indonesia, including in the Hindu-dominant island of Bali and Christian-dominant region of Borneo. South-East Asia’s Muslims used to be moderately liberal and progressive, balancing harmoniously east and west, diverse cultures, and traditional and modernity values (such examples can be seen in old Malaysian and Indonesian films such as by the famous director P. Ramlee).
