Singapore prime minister: Evangelization threatens nation’s stability August 21, 2009
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who assumed office in 2004, is warning that evangelization threatens the stability of his island nation. Citing “aggressive preaching” and criticizing the “wave of revival, megachurches, and tele-evangelism” he sees in the United States, the Buddhist prime minister-- and Catholic high school alumnus-- said that “the most dangerous fault line is race and religion.”
An estimated 4% of the nation’s 4.6 million inhabitants are Catholic; 43% are Buddhist, and 15% are Muslim.
