Translations:Malay/5/en

There are various Bible translations into the Malay language. The most common are the "Alkitab Berita Baik" and the "Alkitab Versi Borneo". The latter was especially created for usage in the east-Malaysian states, where a big Christian minority speaks Bahasa Melayu. However, using these bibles in Malaysia is difficult, since there is an ongoing dispute over the usage of the word "Allah" (more background on this complex issue). In some federal states it is prohibited by law for Non-Muslims to use this word for God (and some other words). Still these Bibles are used in mainland Malaysia as well.
