Machap Umboo Chapel
THE Machap Umboo Orang Asli Chapel in Malacca will know on 23 Feb 2012 if it can proceed with a judicial hearing to quash a demolition order by the Alor Gajah Municipal Council (MPAG). The chapel committee has been fending off demolition threats by the MPAG since August 2011 over their chapel which was completed in March. In Sept 2011, MPAG issued a formal demolition notice. The Orang Asli say their chapel is on aboriginal reserve land and its construction had never been objected to by the MPAG. On 25 Nov 2011, the Malacca High Court granted a stay of the demolition notice pending the application for a judicial review. This chapel is under an NECF-registered church in Malacca. Pray for the Lord's divine favour and justice for the Orang Asli. Pray for the protection of Orang Asli believers in Machap Umboo. |
