CHURCHES in Malaysia have been told to be on alert and cooperate with the police ahead of this weekend’s mass services, a week after the Sri Lanka Easter carnage that saw suicide bombers attacking churches and hotels on the island nation. Advisories to step up security have been issued as Malaysian church leaders seek to address unease among Christians after more than 250 people, including 45 children were killed in Sri Lanka. Some 500 injured are still in hospitals.
