Christian Bashing continues

"A planned gathering of a million Muslims here to rally against Christians “challenging the sovereignty of Islam” this Saturday. "
Is this a joke? or is someone making a mountain out of a molehill. The Islam religion is protected under the Consitution, there is law against proselytising, and there are  only 10%  and most of them in Sabah and Sarawak. And the so-called "faithfuls" are afraid of the Christians. Come on, where is your faith? But here again this may not be the issue.
Religion is again being used to rally the Malays thus diverting the attention of the rakyat from the more serious issues of corruption and bankruptcy. And as always, the Christians are being bullied and used as the whipping boys.  
Really, I cannot see how 10% of Christians can rock or threaten their faith. Even Khalid Samad said that "the Christianisation threat is actually a “very weak” one as “the Christian faith is not very appealing to Muslims” and that "the organisers of the gathering should focus on “real threats” to the faith like “racism, secularism and materialism” and find solutions to these challenges.
The intended gathering on Sat.22 Oct is the follow up of the 'raid' conducted by the Selangor Islamic Affairs Department (Jais), at the Damansara Utama Methodist Church premises following a tip-off that proselytisation efforts were underway by a welfare group. And with the Selangor's sultan's decree of "yes there is evidence of proselytisation" and "no there is not enough evidence to convict", the fearful faithfuls have capitalised on this to further bully the Christians, even though the Sultan had also decreed that no one would be charged and the matter should be put to rest.

The following statements by Catholic Bishop Paul Tan Chee Ing, sums up how most of us Christians feel about the whole issue. 
"If there is not enough evidence, there ought to be no imputation of wrongdoing – it’s as simple as that!” and
"I would have much preferred no statement at all to one that is neither here nor there,”
And finally, I would strongly advocate that all Christians remember this last statement
“It’s a good thing the general election is imminent, because there seems to be no let-up in this ugly campaign of innuendo and insinuation against Christians, so that the ballot box becomes our only recourse from persecution by vile slander.”

God does not need humans to protect or defend Him

There are people in this world who hold on to the belief that the Almighty God needs our human protection. That is not only a joke but show the kind of faith they have. How can we, as mere mortal man protect the omnipotent, omniscience God. We should not be putting the cart before the horse. God protects us, sinful men, and not the other way round. If that is the case, then we might as well be gods. I really feel sorry for those muslims who are bent on protecting their faith with their human ways, instead of allowing their god to do it in his own way. Why can't people realise that faith comes from the heart. It is well to remember that you can lead a horse to the water, but you cannot force it to drink the water
So those people who demand the prosecution of people guity of proselytising are in fact telling their gods what to do. Imagine that. What will they tell their god to do next?

PM - Pensioners are in tears and wont let go his hands

Now that the euphoria of the durian runtuh of the 2012 budget has abated, let us now get back down to earth and face reality. Undoubtedly this is a buy election budget, as evidenced by the speed the PM took to the streets (in this case the rural areas) to gauge the reaction to his durian runtuh. Peopel say that self praise is no praise. However our spoilt child PM doesn't seem to learn from this, as he goes round praising himself by saying that wherever he went people, especially the elderly "had welcomed him with warm handshakes, with some “not even wanting to let go”. In Ijok, he said, pensioners whom he had sat next to during breakfast had “tears in their eyes” when they thanked him for remembering them in the Budget 2012. My, my, such emotions, and when these pensioners convert the 2% out of their meager pension into cash, their tears in their eyes will be tears of grief. As someone mentioned the 2% increase for those whose pensions falls below RM 600 would probably get him another banana leaf rice. A better offer would be to stagger or tier the annual increase rate, such as giving those below RM1000 , an increase of 6%, above RM1000- 4% and those above RM2000, 2% 
Finally, if the PM is receiving such warm reception over his budget offer wherever he  goes, then he should immediately dissolve parliament and call for a fresh mandate. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. 

Najib - A Man's Word is His Bond

A phrase attributed to Miguel de Cervantes is: “An honest man’s word is as good as his bond.” 
But sad to say our Prime Minister, Najib,  fails miserably to live up to such honourable quality. He is neither honest, especially to his people, and his words were just empty gongs designed to hood-wink his own  rakyat.
It is also said that reputation is what men see, but character is what God sees. But here again, Najib has again failed miserably. Men sees no reputation in him and as for character, well I'll let God decide.
What reputation do you see in a man  when his flip-flopping policies have become his trademark. His flip-flop antics are not mere accusations but were widely reported in the BN-owned media.   
His latest was"I did not say we want to abolish quotas, but I said we cannot be too reliant on them. Bumiputra entrepreneurs must be independent, willing to work hard to compete with others so we are better respected.  I absolutely did not say that quotas will be abolished," 
However this was in contrast to what he said earlier, quote " "We want to do away with quotas, but we will support bumiputera entrepreneurs to grow. If we give quotas, they will rest on their laurels and not gain expertise to manage their businesses,"
A lot of folks nowadays wouldn't know what was meant by "his bond", but one would expect, a Prime Minister who is also a well-known leader to know the impact of he utters.
President Obama once said "The way to make government responsible is to hold it accountable and the way to hold it accountable is to make it transparent so that the American people can know exactly what decisions are being made, how they are being made and whether their interests are being well-served." Substitute American for Malaysian. 
I would further add that Najib spend sometime, nay, lots of time, to meditate on " a man's word is his bond"
And in the meantime, I'll take whatever goodies to be offered by Najib with a ton of salt.

Another Blow to our Judicial Image

First there was this lawyer trying to strangle himself to show how a person can strangle himself to death with his own hands. He then had the cheek to question the credibility of an international renown pathologist. Now, in the trial of Anwar sodomy trial, we have another lawyer, also putting in his feeble attempt to discredit a top scientist, whose field of expertise is in the field of DNA. He slammed the defence foreign expert witness, Dr Mcdonald for not having undergone any formal training in forensic DNA testing. The Solicitor-general II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden, also said that Dr Brian McDonald's qualification obtained in 1992 was obsolete because the field of DNA had undergone big developments since 2002.  So by his own reasoning, no one should consult doctors who qualified in 1992 as the field of medicine had undergone great development since then. Infact all professionasl who qualified years ago should not be allowed to carry out their profession now. By the way, Mohd. Yusof, when did you get your law degree? Are you sure you have kept abreast with the latest development in law?  
For goodness sake, our international image has sucken so badly that it is an embarrassment to say we are Malaysians when we are in foreign land. 

Prof. Khoo -It's YOU who are distorting our History!

Speaking at a forum in Ipoh (the Star, 10 Sept. '11)  Prof. Khoo Kay Khim claimed that that " the British never ruled the country, but had merely taken over the administration of our country". He maybe a historian but he definitely is no English language expect.  He blamed the week education system for teachers as well as students for not understanding the "proper terms used in the study of history". I suppose it is also because of the week education system that has resulted in his poor understanding of the English language. "Never ruled",  but had the power to ban - please explain the contradictions.
So the British came and took over the administration of the country and the Sultans meekly allowed them to do so. Hello ! Where are you UMNOs? Where are you Ibrahim Ali and Mahathir? You gonna allow this to go down in history? that the Malays did nothing and simply allowed the British to walk over them? Then how come the British could ban the many Malay movements such as PKMM, API, AWAS and Hizbul Muslimin as they were considered  communist movements? So Prof, the British never ruled, but they can ban. So we can similarly say that the present government, that is BN, does not  
rule but just administer the country, right? So as a  learned professor, do you think umno is just administering the country now? By your own reasoning, I suppose you should say "yes", but in reality we are practically a police state. And yes, one more thing, if we were not under British rule, than who are we celebrating 'Merdeka" from? It's YOU who are distorting our History. For goodness sake, have a spine and tell it as it is. 

The Future of Malaysia is in OUR hands NOW!!!

By now, all right thinking Malaysisians (I mean RIGHT THINKING ones) should know that our beloved country is no more what it was once used to be. The BN goons and their apple polishers could not be bothered what our country has become, torn and tattered by racial and religious harmony. So many articles have been written about the good old days where we once lived together, colour-blind to the colour of our skin and the sound of our names. But to say that those who are responsible (especially the UMNOS)  for the present state of affairs, are not aware of the situation, is not true either. Unless they are empty up in their heads, they are totally and fully aware of what is happening. But after 54 years of clinging to power, and having ingrained in their minds that their power is guaranteed, they will resort to any means to retain this power, as amplified by the PM's warning of " crush bodies & lives lost". The accumulation of documents on the dirt and corruption must be a cause for concern  as they are going to scramble to buy extra shredded machines and find time to destroy these documents should Pakatan take over after 13 GE. What happened in Selangor after the 12 GE is going to happen on a big scale, this time round.
Iskandar Dzulkanain (bless this man) has written a  piece as to what would happen if Pakatan takes over. You can read this here. Let us all pray that it is not just a dream , but the light at the end of the tunnel. God Bless Malaysia!!
