Despite being denied entry into Malaysia, Indonesian Muslim scholar Dr Ulil Abshar Abdalla had the last laugh today as he addressed an audience of 100 in Kuala Lumpur today via Skype.
Ulil was speaking at the 3rd International Conference on Human Rights and Peace and Conflict in Southeast Asia, held at the Swiss Garden Hotel in the capital.
Other speakers at this morning's plenary session entitled "Religion and human rights in Southeast Asia" included Dr Melissa Crouch and Dr Ahmad Farouk Musa.
However, the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) said the discussion should be stopped because Ulil was well known for his liberal views.
The Immigration Department subsequently put Ulil on its blacklist and the latter was denied entry into Malaysia.
MORE TO COME
