Suit Case by Former Chief Minister Chong Kah Kiat
vs Sabah Government
 The construction of
the world’s tallest Taoist Goddess of the Sea statue has set off the
latest row over religious freedom in Malaysia.
The 36-metre
(108-foot) statue of Mazu, known as Tin Hau in Hong Kong, should be
erected in the fishing village of Kudat on Borneo Island.
So far
only the platform has been set; the statue itself is waiting some
200 km away in the port town of Kota Kinabalu.
Local authorities had
approved construction in December 2005 but Sabah state authorities
stopped construction saying that the statue was "offensive to Muslim
sensitivities."
