Masha'Allah that's good to hear about the positive developments of our (as we aren't but an unique body) situation in Malaysia. (with regards to post #14 by brother Faizol)

What about the near-by Indonesia and Singapore?

brother, I don't know much about the situation of our brothers and sisters in Singapore and Indonesia. But from what I know, organization and da'wa activities are much more organized in Singapore, but it won't be visible as the Muslims are minority there. As per Indonesia, there are a lot more to be done due to the vastness of the area. Communications are a bit lacking. Indonesians in some rural areas are more obsessed with magic, hence you'll read about news of some of the maids for example try to apply magic to their bosses, and others. Statistically, the percentage of those who practice magic and such are still small, but considering the amount of the population is well over 230 million, those statistic numbers translated into quite a number of people.

From what I gather, hizb-tahrir movement is quite popular in Indonesia. And I believe tableeghi movement is also quite strong in Indonesia. One brother before mentioned about Banda Acheh and community implementation of hudood law. GAM insurgency (behind the effort of hudood implementation in Banda Acheh) was officially ended a few years back, and I think it was agreed that certain autonomy was given to Banda Acheh in regards to the natural resources and also regarding the rights to implement hudood law (which is in practice since 2001, though not sure if Indonesian government place some limitations or not).

Any brother or sister from Indonesia who can give a much more accurate picture of Islamic movement in Indonesia?

Allahu'alam.
