Today I met this guy, he seems to have certain things that interet me and a search on the net give me his info. Ustaz Muhammad Hussain Yee bin Abdullah , President of Al-Khaadem, was born into a Chinese Buddhist family. He embraces Islam in 1968 at the age of 16. An ardent Islamic scholar, he majored in Hadith Studies at the Islamic University of Medina in Saudi Arabia. After graduating in 1978, he continued at the University of Damascus in Syria for two years.Upon returning to Malaysia, he joined the Muslim welfare organization ( Perkim ) which safeguards the welfare of new reverts. He also served internationally as advisor to the Cambodian refugee organisation in Paris and Director of the Islamic Center in Hong Kong before founding Al-Khaadem in 1984.
He has travelled on da'wah mission in the Asia-Pasific region (Brunei, Taiwan and Philippines), Oceania (including Samoa, Tonga, Papua New Guinea and Australia and the USA (Detroit and New York). He has appeared on television in A-Ain (U.A.E), Bahrain and Kuwait. And also conducts summer camps in the U.K. and Europe at the invitation of local and international organizations. He and Lina Joy are of similar circumstances, just that what Yee did what allowed by the law but not Lina. Both he and Lina are person of strong faith because I'm sure both of them face strong objection from their respective family.
I personally think that Lina Joy has stronger faith as she need to face the law as well.
Hero or Villian? Depends on everyone opinion.
