  Terms such as "inculturation," "localization," "contextualization," or "indigenization" of theology (Schreiter 1985, 1) are used for interculturation of faith, but many Indigenous people find these terms, including inculturation, suggestive of colonialist attitudes exerting "power over" the process.

  Without consideration of the colony character of Malaysia in terms of its consistent interculturation with imperial and neoimperial power, multiplicity can easily be mistheorised as representing Saidian Orientalism or expatriates—such theorisations can be drawn from superficial reinterpretations of Taiwan's Tenryuubito phenomenon in recent years and Japan's Datsu-A Ron statement during the Meiji period.
