MALAYSIA OUT Red paint, splashed by unidentified vandals, is seen around a statue of the Virgin Mary at the St. Elizabeth Catholic church in Kota Tinggi of Malaysia’s Johor state on Januray 14, 2010. Malaysia’s Catholic Church said its lawyers’ offices had been burgled and ransacked in the latest of a spate of attacks triggered by a row over the use of the word ‘Allah’. Trouble broke out after the High Court decided on December 31 to lift a government ban on non-Muslims using ‘Allah’ as a translation for ‘God’.
