In Kuala Lumpur, Zaid Malek, a rights advocate, is pushing to save the Dewi Sri Pathrakaliamman temple by keeping it at its current spot while building a proposed mosque on nearby vacant land. Responding to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s claim that “the mosque will be built, and the temple will be given a place,” Zaid insists this compromise respects all Malaysians. Anwar, set to launch the mosque next week, called the temple’s occupation illegal, sparking Zaid’s rebuttal: the temple, serving Hindus for over a century, was relocated there in 2008 by city orders. He questions Anwar’s haste amid ongoing talks.
