Overzealous

Malaysia's Education Ministry reportedly shut down a tuition centre at Old Klang Road in Kuala Lumpur which provided free English tuition. Besides religious recreation, singing of Christian songs had been used as teaching tools there. The centre was not just without a permit but there was fear that three Muslim students studying there could be proselytised. Proselytising Muslims, by the way, is an offence in Malaysia. The incident has prompted Malay rights group Perkasa to demand a ban on Christian teachers from national schools, which is perhaps understandable. Before,there had always been a few cases of especially overzealous born-again Christian teachers who preached a little during lessons, brought down the religious beliefs of others even and on weekends, brought their charges of other faith to churches. Since their charges are either Taiosts or Buddhists, that of course, wasn't an offence. In such cases, there has never been a problem with being overzeaous, not even with really overzealous religious bigots.
