Irreligion in Malaysia

Malaysia, a primarily Muslim country located in peninsular and insular regions of Southeast Asia, has a government influenced by Islamic law, which has expressed anti-heretical and anti-atheist views. Notably, in 2017, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Shahidan Kassim faced backlash for threatening to "hunt down" atheists in response to a meeting of members of Atheist Republic.
