[Malaysian Insider] Malaysia is "losing a generation" that no longer trusts the government, authorities and even each other, given the current trend of religious extremism, says Anglican Bishop Datuk Ng Moon Hing.

Ng, the newly minted president of the Bible Society of Malaysia (BSM), said his greatest fear for Malaysia is a societal break-up due to hate speeches, racial hatred and religious extremism that is not being monitored.

"This nation has begun to lose a generation of people who no longer trust the government, the authorities, the elders, the religious leaders, and more so each other," he told The Malaysian Insider.

Ng said trust and confidence in Putrajaya have plunged to its lowest level with unresolved issues affecting Malaysia's multi-religious society, including the seizure of Bibles and the controversy over the use of the word "Allah" by Christians.
