As law-abiding Malaysians, we have lived under MCO (Movement Control Order) conditions for the past eight (8) weeks, starting from March 18, 2020. The Malaysian Government activated the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) on May 4, allowing more economic sectors to resume operation, except for activities that involve large crowds, close contact, risks of infection and / or confined in a small space. These include sporting activities as well as social, community and cultural events. Interstate travel is also presently not allowed.

On May 10, Malaysia’s Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced that the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) will be extended for another four (4) weeks, to June 9, 2020. The extension of the CMCO means that all the rules and standard operating procedures (SOP) during the CMCO (May 4 - 12) continue to be enforced till June 9.

The Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) is a relaxation of regulations pertaining to the MCO, with the key objective of reopening the national economy in a controlled manner. This means that events published on this site that are scheduled for this period or even after the conditional movement restriction will be postponed or cancelled. Kindly check with the respective organisers of the events to confirm the updated event status.

Meanwhile, there are several events that are being carried out online. Our site has listed out the online events, which you could enjoy in the comfort of your home. The ultimate aim of the MCO and CMCO is to break the chain of Covid-19 infection. So, let’s comply with the CMCO and help to curb the Covid-9 outbreak.

A Buddhist Forum on LGBT+

Events in Selangor / Selangor

There are social changes happening in the community with a growing awareness on LGBT+. While the topic may be sensitive and controversial, many LGBT+ people find themselves feeling isolated and vulnerable.

Through an open forum, the Buddhist community shall discuss LGBT+ issues relevant to Buddhists, and help to alleviate the emotional pain of the people involved.

With the intention to show and declare that Buddhism does not discriminate against LGBT+, and encourage acceptance of LGBT+ among Buddhists, the forum shall explore the matter from various angles, including the perspective of early Buddhist texts, the cultural and historical perspectives on LGBT+, the science behind human sexuality and gender identity, and the stories of LGBT+ individuals and their relatives.

Date: 10 November 2019, Sunday
Time: 2:00 – 6:00 pm (1:30pm Registration)
Venue: Buddhist Gem Fellowship, Ara Damansara (Level 2)
