brother faizal jazakallah khairan for your clarification. What you are saying makes me very happy. May ALLAH bless the people even more. One day inshallah I shall visit malaysia again because my stay was limited to KL really and I hated KL. There were hardly any masjids in the area I was staying in, seeing so many dodgy looking people wearing reveealing clothes I did not think I was in a muslim country. My experience is based on those people and those I spoke to who spoke of their desire to do hijrah to the arab world, the modernist islam being propagated by the government etc. With regards to the areas surrounding southern thailand and the qital of our brothers there I have heard that the most practicing muslims of that region are the thai muslims mashallah. May ALLAH increase them. One day I want to go there inshallah as well. Brother please post more on malaysia, islam, tabligh in malaysia, scholars, average daily life etc. May ALLAH bless our brothers in all parts of the world and give freedom to our thai brethren ameen.
Modernist Islam are usually being propagated by some government ministers who don't know much about Islam, and people know about their background anyway and most people will distance themselves from those kind of propaganda. Basically they know the said minister who talks about islam with no Islamic knowledge, so they won't pay attention to the propaganda.

There are some hiccups still in increasing Islamic awareness among the locals. Some Malays with basic upbringing most probably tend to be "Malay" first then "Muslim" afterwards. Also the materialism temptations and such.

But then that several major steps are being prepared by the government of Kelantan State for example. They are currently training some more than 20 thousand Muslim youths using traditional kitabs in the state sponsored schools with in-depth fiqh as well as aqeedah. And due to the recent events in the Arabic countries, some of the State officials are actually looking at the events very seriously. I even had the opportunity to ask one of them a hypothetical question "what would you do if some 7 years from now dajjal LaknatuLLah would come to the State?" and they do take that question very seriously.

State of Kelantan also reintroduce dinar and dirham in their dealings. Elsewhere in Malaysia, a few mosques that use Chinese language during the khutbah were built around the country. Madrassa are being reorganized, not the syllabus, but the learning methodology, basic infrastructure, qualified teachers and such. Tahfiz madrassa are being built around the country and so on. Public gatherings to listen to da'wa are becoming popular in certain areas (there are various youtube uploads of the events).

Tabligh jemaat are still as usual, they are very active and I know a few of them who went to Bangladesh last year.

There are still some major isues that the Muslims have to face. The changes are there towards the better Islamic environment though still many more issues have to be tackled and still a long way to go, but people that I know, they are very istiqamah in doing the da'wa to raise the Islamic awareness. Let's all make dua that Muslims everywhere will be guided towards the straight path, ameen.
