Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism
The Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism (Malay: Majlis Perundingan Malaysia Agama Buddha, Kristian, Hindu, Sikh dan Tao; abbrev: MCCBCHST) is a non-profit interfaith organisation in Malaysia. Initially formed in 1983 as the "Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and Sikhism", it is composed primarily of officials from the main non-Muslim faith communities in Malaysia and acts as a consultative and liaison body towards more open dialogue and co-operation. In 2006, Taoists were officially represented for the first time in the organisation and the name was changed to the current form in their Annual General Meeting on 27 September of the same year.
