TV3 News on Proselytisation of Muslims by Christians in Tuition Centre is a FAKE
QUOTE:
"It was pretty clear the qariah and the surau reported on TV3 does NOT exist. TV3 cooked up the FALSE news and at the same time poked fun at Muslim places of worship with that name Al-Musyrikin.
The tuition centre has been there for years for the purpose of teaching Christianity to the children living in the area who are Christians.They comprise students who are Chinese, Indian and a small number of Christian Indonesians. There are NO Muslims who attend Christianity classes there.
The TV station is maliciously spreading FALSE news aimed at stoking religious and racial tensions, that at the same time had ridiculed Islam."

An NGO has lodged a police report against TV3 for allegedly FABRICATING news of a tuition centre in Jalan Klang Lama, Kuala Lumpur, trying to convert Muslims to Christianity, on account that the SURAU whose members were shown protesting the centre appears to be NON-EXISTENT.
The TV station was maliciously spreading false news aimed at stoking religious and racial tensions, that at the same time had ridiculed Islam.
The group, Jingga 13, said the private TV station on Aug 21 aired a report during its main news bulletin (Buletin Utama) alleging that the tuition centre had been spreading Christianity to its Muslim students.
The news clip showed footage of a group of about 50 from the Qariah Surau Al-Musyrikin led by a Mustapha Kamal Mohd Yusof - believed to be an Umno branch leader in Seputeh - gathered in front of the centre, protesting the proselytisation of Muslims.
NGO, Jingga 13 Coordinator, Fariz Musa said,
“The (TV3-news) report is meant to portray that there are efforts to spread Christianity through the tuition classes, to the point that it has caused the surau members to protest. Jinggo 13's checks suggest that NO such surau exists in the area.Meanwhile, the news report concerned has apparently been removed from TV3's website.
From Jingga 13's investigations in the vicinity of the tuition centre in the Jalan Klang Lama squatter area, and from speaking with the locals there, we found that NOT a single surau exists in the area. The tuition centre is located in a squatter area populated mainly by Chinese and Indians, along with some foreign Indonesians.
It was pretty clear the qariah and the surau reported on TV3 does NOT exist.
The name of the reported surau itself is suspect, and appears to be aimed at poking fun. The name of the surau 'Al-Musyrikin' that was reported looks like it was intentionally conjured up.
It is indeed impossible that someone would call their house of Allah with a name such as 'Al-Musyrikin' (non-believers). It's pretty clear that TV3 cooked up the false news and at the same time poked fun at Muslim places of worship with that name Al-Musyrikin.
The residents in the squatter area had said that the tuition centre has been there for years for the purpose of teaching Christianity to the children living in the area who are Christians. They comprise students who are Chinese, Indian and a small number of Christian Indonesians.
There are NO Muslims who attend Christianity classes there."
