Talk:Malaysian Chinese religion

Imperialism?
There may be some people in the world who think their races, nations or religions superior to the others, but that is not enough for "imperialism". Many views of Confucianism are hierarchical including the view Chinese emperor-Chinese local people-foreigners. There is no longer any Chinese emperor. The Malaysian Chinese are peaceful, political neutral, not racists, love and contribute to their country and respect other people. They think Malaysia is their country. The use of "Imperialism" would be misleading and unfair to the Malaysian Chinese.Fairness7332 07:08, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

the more 'miracles', the stronger the faith
As a Malaysian Chinese, i observe that my own community's religious passion seem to be influenced by miracles. The more miracles a religion offer, the stronger the faith.

Most Malaysian Chinese love to gamble just for the fun of it, though some are hardcore gamblers. Any amulet or shaman that can give them more luck would be an object of admiration and faith.

Next comes the facination about invunerability.Whichever religion that can provide this special ability would gain the highest respect. See how much we subscribe to the 'Thai Amulets'?

Well, that's our unique inclinition in the field of spirituality.

That's why the Chinese are not strictly Buddhist or Taoist. They are also Hindus on Hindu festivals and part time Christians on the feast of some well known saints :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sampuna (talk • contribs) 10:52, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Article name change
The current article name, Malaysian Chinese religion, suggests that all Malaysian Chinese profess a single religion, which isn't the case. I suggest a change in the article name by moving to religious beliefs of Malaysian Chinese. -- Joshua Say "hi" to me!What I've done? 03:08, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Information is incorrent
The article cited: "According to The Encyclopedia of Malaysia, vol. Religions & Beliefs, statistics from the 2000 census indicate that around 20% of the population, mainly Malaysian Chinese, are Buddhist and a further 3% follow Chinese religions including Confucianism and Taoism. "

This is not true. Malaysian Chinese which are 20% of the population do not pray exclusively to Buddha but actually to Buddha, Confucious, Tao dieties and local dieties. The main Chinese festival Chinese New Year itself has many Tao elements to it like the Pai Thee Kong etc.

Malaysian Ceylon population however is different. They pray exclusively to Buddha. The information that was cited is incorrect and need to be rereseached again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loochoohong (talk • contribs) 10:44, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
