In Malaysia there are many types of religions because of is established on the Constitution the religious freedom, but our official religion is the Islam. Most of the 70% of the Malaysian population is Muslim.
The Buddhism is in second place. Christians are in third place and after them are the Hindu and other Chinese faiths like Confucian and Taoist. There is a minimal part of the population which belongs to tribal and folk religions. Also there are other people who professed no faith.
Although the religious freedom is guaranteed, this is an issue among the people because the Constitucion proclaims the Islam as the religion of the federation, define Malays as Muslims, and limits the "propagation" of other faiths. The majority of Hindus face few restrictions on the practice of their religion. In 2005, state and local governments started to demolish Hindu temples to make way for other development projects, claiming that the temples were located on government lands.
There are many times when Christians are usually being accused of trying to convert Muslims to Christianity. This is punishable by arrest.
