How come Singaporean Muslims are different

During my recent visit I was awe stuck by two different incidence that made me respect the Singaporean Muslims more than their compatriot in Malaysia. You may ask me why?
The recent advertisement by TV8 is a classic example how they educate the non-Muslims and not the Muslims. The video depicts an obnoxious behaviour by a Chinese girl during the puasa month. In one scene she was wearing a bit revealing dress and it has offensive for Muslim man who immediately closes his daugther's eyes.Wonder why? Second news that I heard was that JAIS raided a church under the suspicion that the church is preaching Christianity to some Muslims but the truth is that they happen to be attending a dinner function. Talking about being paranoia and the act of playing god or guardian of god!
Let me share my experience with Mohd Fahim Farouq,Hotel Mandarin, Spore at the Chatterbox Cafe. First of all he speaks better English than the average Malay in Malaysia. Secondly he's proud of his lineage of being mix-blood. He mentioned that he is muslim and practices his faith diligently but he would not be in denying his heritage of being Indian. He continued to say that he is Indian and Malay blood but a Muslim. He asked me why some Indian Muslims refuse to accept their bloodline and try to be more Malays and made such remark on Mahathir Mohamed, the Ex-PM and I didn't know how to answer him! He is very clear being a Muslim and of having a mixed blood and he teaches his children to be proud of their mix-parentage.
Second incident, Non-Muslims eating in the presence of Muslims is something that is looked down,scorned and condemned by the Muslims in Malaysia. I saw a Malay women sitting down and having a conversation with non-muslims, mainly Chinese during lunch. I was curious and asked her doesn't she feel offended by the act of non-muslims eating in her presence to that she answered why should she be as she is fasting and they are not.
I guess she has more faith in her religion compared t our Muslim counter part in Malaysia. My respect for the Malay Muslims in Singapore raised thousand fold after these two events.I reckon this behaviour by Muslims would be a far fetched dream in Malaysia.

Najib's true leadership

PUTRAJAYA, July 30 – Najib vows to help Indians if MIC secures their vote!
Datuk Seri Najib Razak pledged to do all he can to bring the Indian community back into the “mainstream of development” but asked that MIC redouble efforts to secure the community’s vote. The prime minister said there must be “quid pro quo” between Barisan Nasional (BN) component party MIC and the ruling coalition if both wished to benefit from their relationship as “loyal friends”.“There must be an understanding. Can you all deliver for Barisan Nasional? You can deliver and we will deliver,” Najib told delegates at the 65th MIC general assembly here today.
There you are ladies and gentlemen,our honorable PM shall only help the Indians if MIC can deliver! Do you all need more clues...?

Katak Ibrahim Award

Recently, I read that UiTM, who else would make such an offer 'The Katak Ibrahim's Scholar Award which offers total cash prizes of RM5,000 for students who are proven to have "clear and consistent" principles in upholding the Malay race.
Isn't it a disgrace to an education institution to offer such a demeaning award that practically worships race superiority. Today I read that the UiTM vice-chancellor Sahol Hamid Abu Bakar has since denied that the university had approved the award, stating that UiTM had merely "overlooked" the issue after it was publicised on the website of one of its departments.
Overlooked my foot, it appeared in your official website and now you claimed that it was overlooked. Just like the BeeNed government.

Police Brutality

If this is not police brutality, then what else? Sudahlah jangan bohong lagi!

Is this idiot a PM

Malaysian Insider wrote, KUALA LUMPUR, July 7 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak has described silat and other self-defence exponents as the third line of defence in the country, including a group that has threatened to wage war against electoral reforms movement Bersih 2.0.The Pertubuhan Seni Silat Lincah Malaysia (PSSLM) had challenged Bersih for its refusal to abandon a planned rally on July 9 to call for free and fair elections.
“I believe if there are evil enemies who want to attack the country from without and within, ‘anak-anak lincah’ will rise to fight them,” said Najib in a fiery speech last night.“But tonight, we do not gather to fight,” added the prime minister. “We do not gather to wield the keris (dagger).
How the hell he became the PM, total disgrace to mankind, surely his family would be proud of him. Phuit....@$%&@

Najib...are you a man of your word

Malaysikini quote:"Bersih had responded in good faith to the king's intervention early this week that was aimed at heading off a confrontation between the electoral reform pressure group and its adversaries - Perkasa and the police.Bersih took the royal hint and requested for an audience to seek the king's advice.Presumably, at the behest of the constitutional monarch who granted the audience on Tuesday, Bersih called off its street rally scheduled for Saturday, opting instead for a gathering in a stadium on the same day.But Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak decided yesterday - in a move that typified his shiftiness on matters of principle - to pussyfoot on that earlier call and pass the buck of responsibility for approval of the gathering to the police."

Najib made a U-Turn, first he said that if Bersih wanted to hold a rally they can do so in a stadium and now he is twisting what he said earlier. He claims that he did not say that but would leave it to the police and the stadium administration to decide. Ape cerita ni ( what story is this), I thought that you are the PM of Malaysia the last I remember. Sudah kecut kah? stand up lah bro, don't hide under someones skirt or sarong. How to respect this jokers as leaders who do not have any principles? Najib either way your days are numbered, judgement day ( hari khimat) is coming and you better prepare some answers as you'll be fried alive!

The Real Election Commission

Learn from the exemplary all-powerful EC of India
June 21, 2011

Those of you familiar with Indian politics and have been to Chennai during the April 13 election would have noticed the conspicuous absence of posters, banners, hoardings in the city, even though campaigning was at its peak for in Tamil Nadu.
This is in a stark contrast to its past elections. Tamil Nadu used to be known for its dominating, life-sized cut outs of political personalities dotting the landscape at poll time. The 2011 election campaign has done away with all that, thanks to the tough stand adopted by the Election Commission of India.
The distinguished Shahabuddin Yaqoob Quraishi, the chief election commissioner, without mincing his words, called Tamil Nadu the most challenging of all elections. Even before the polls began to the five state assemblies, he felt that not only “violence” would pose a big challenge in West Bengal and in Tamil Nadu, it would also be money politics.But I was informed by many distinguished members of civil society that the April 13 election was in all aspects an Election Commission’s election, not one of Dravidian parties.
The EC was fiercely independent, accountable, professional and had a dedicated yearning to promote free and fair elections in the world’s largest democracy. They were not pussies pretending to be Tigers or proxies and cronies of incumbents and on the take.Election rulings pertaining even to posters were strictly enforced, what more other fundamental issues to ensure fair and free elections.
The EC seized millions in cash after putting in place ‘flying squads’ to address corruption and abuse whenever a tip-off from the members of the public came in.Well-connected politicians became so rattled by the EC’s tough standthat the chief minister publicly attacking the EC for declaring what he termed as a “mini emergency” in the state.
When Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee was in Chennai to release the Congress party’s manifesto, he skirted around the controversy by saying that he did not want to comment on the functioning of the Election Commission, mandated by the Constitution to conduct free and fair elections.That statement in itself was a powerful message of things that were to come and the change taking place for free and fair elections in the various states of India. An ordinary Inspector of Police stopped the convoy of GK Vasan, senior Congress leader in Dindigul, because there were more than the permitted four cars in the convoy.
The said Inspector who stopped the Congress convoy said he would have to be answerable to the EC if he allowed them more than the allotted number of cars in a convoy. It showed how seriously the State Electoral Officer, Praveen Kumar and his team, were taking to their jobs without fear or favour.The EC’s fearlessness and heroic stories of ordinary officials doing their duty at considerable risk is admirable. Another story was in Tiruchy, where a woman official, a revenue division officer, equivalent to a sub divisional magistrate in the north on her first posting, had received a call in the dead of night, informing her of money being transported in a bus.
She immediately set out with her driver and office boy, picking up a couple of police inspectors on the way, and confiscated Rs 5 crores found in five bags on top of the bus. Voters were encouraged by the fact that the EC had got its act together even before the notification of elections.In Madurai, a stronghold of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi’s son, MK Azhagiri, the EC transferred four collectors and six police officials, among whom was superintendent of police. The new collector did not think twice about entering the house of Azhagiri’s lieutenants and checking on complaints filed against them.
The result – massive landslide victories all over and in Tamil Nadu.

New Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, J Jayalalitha, ascribed her party’s decisive victory in the polls to the people’s anger against the DMK regime and the EC for its fantastic job in ensuring a free and fair polls.
In West Bengal, former Union Rail Minister, the fiery no-nonsense Mamata Banerjee won a landslide as well, and in Kerala another great result.
Kerala’s ousted chief minister was reported to have left on a bicycle refusing to use the official car for the drive home and agreeing to pay for whatever phone bill he had incurred during his tenure, from his pension.
Talk about politics of accountability!
Just imagine what the world of politics would be IF only ECs in different jurisdictions had the religious and mental courage to do the same rather than continuing to betray voters in return for various forms of gratuitous rewards and payments.

Now we know why Bersih 2.0 is so important! Please make an appointment on 9th of July wherever you are.

Sex Slaves..thats right

Don't get me wrong, read this article in on-line [portal that a Kuwaiti women is proposing sex slaves, thats right sex slaves! Enjoy reading.

(Mail Online) - A Kuwaiti woman who once ran for parliament has called for sex slavery to be legalised - and suggested that non-Muslim prisoners from war-torn countries would make suitable concubines.
Salwa al Mutairi argued buying a sex-slave would protect decent, devout and 'virile' Kuwaiti men from adultery because buying an imported sex partner would be tantamount to marriage. And she even had an idea of where to 'purchase' these sex-salves - browsing through female prisoners of war in other countries. Mutairi claimed: 'There was no shame in it and it is not haram' (forbidden) under Islamic Sharia law.' She gave the example of Haroun al-Rashid, an 8th century Muslim leader who ruled over an area covered by modern-day Iran, Iraq and Syria and was rumoured to have 2,000 concubines.
Mutairi recommended that offices could be opened to run the sex trade in the same way that recruitment agencies provide housemaids. She suggested shopping for prisoners of war so as to protect Kuwaiti men from being tempted to commit adultery or being seduced by other women's beauty. 'For example, in the Chechnyan war, surely there are female Russian captives,' she said. 'So go and buy those and sell them here in Kuwait. Better than to have our men engage in forbidden sexual relations.'
Her unbelievable argument for her plan was that ‘captives’ might 'just die of hunger over there'. She insisted, 'I don’t see any problem in this, no problem at all'.
There you go, its allowed in the religion!

Islamization and Lazy Government Servants

The below article appreared in Malaysia Today, interesting yet disturbing!

By Saravanan
This could help Malaysian non Muslims to better understand the body snatching issue. The birth cert attached with this posting is my own Birth cert. It was extracted in December 2010 when I went to the Wilayah Persekutuan Registration office to get my new Birth certificate for purposes of applications overseas. When I received the certificate, I was shocked because of missing and also incorrect information as follows:
1.My religion was not stated
2.My Father´s age was stated as -nil-
3.My father´s religion as stated was not available
4.My Mother´s citizenship was stated as non citizen
5.My Mother´s status of residence stated as Permanent Resident
6.My Mother´s religion - Information is not available was stated

I asked the officer in the department why my religion was not stated. She said it would only be stated as Islam for Malays. When I asked her about my religion, she said normally they would not write it. So I asked her for a letter saying that she would not write my religion in my birth certificate. She hesitated and asked me to wait and called her higher officer.Both refused to change the mistakes in my Birth certificate.Despite my objections, they asked me to go to Putrajaya. There, they asked me to show proof of my faith in a particular religion. Where does this end then? In this technological era, they can't event amend the errors in my birth certificate.
Let us see what is wrong with it. My religion is Hindu. Indians are normally Hindus unless they converted to Islam or Christianity. How stupid they are when they can bravely write that my religion is not available!
When I was born definitely my father would have been of a particular age. It is the duty of the officer to write it clearly. Even if they missed that, they can still amend it now if they want to do so. My father´s religion was also not stated. Do they think we don't have a religion? It appears that it is easy to make changes according to their will.
It is clearly a lie to staye that my mother is not citizen. My father who born in Malaysia in 1940's is a Malaysian citizen but my mother who born in mid 1950s is not regarded as a citizen. What a big joke of Boleh Land! My mother´s status of residence stated she is a permanent residence whereas she has a citizenship earlier. All those lazy guys who work in the registration department should be replaced with hard working staff. My mother´s religion is stated as not available. Why?
This is not a joke but a serious matter. Remember - if important information are not filled in properly, they can manipulate it when i die by stating I was a Muslim. It is possible. If some professional can copy my signature and sign it in the conversion paper, I will be definitely be regarded as a Muslim.
With this, they can snatch my body after my death. It is possible.
Please recheck your birth certificate and identity card for the assurance so that they dont take away your body when you die. The registration department is responsible for my predicament because of their laziness and carelessness when undertaking their duties.
There is only one religion in this country, Islam!

Ringgit Malaysia is losing fast

Recently i visited Thailand and shocked to find out that our currency is lower in value than Thai Baht. We use to get good exchange rate that makes our purchases worthy but now we need to think twice about spending overseas. I did not have any data to back my claims but today an article in Malaysian Insider proved my point. Malaysian currency sucks!Tks to Mahathir,Pak Lah and Najib's leadership.

The Malaysian Insider, an online Malaysian news website, examined the purchasing power of Malaysians in comparison to nationals of other countries. The website cited a 2010 Prices and Wages report by UBS AG, a Swiss banking giant.
Here are the highlights:
The purchasing power of KL residents is 33.8% of New Yorkers; 42% compared to London, 33.7% to Sydney, 32.6% to Los Angeles, and 31.6% to Zurich.
KL workers need to labour 22 minutes for a bread loaf. In comparison, Los Angeles counterparts take 18 minutes. In Sydney, it's 16 minutes. In Tokyo, 15 minutes. In Zurich, 12 minutes.
The Malaysian Insider also compared broadband prices in Malaysia to those in countries. Even after currency conversion, Malaysia comes out on top... in expensiveness. Here's the summary:
Kuala Lumpur - 5Mbps broadband package - RM149
London - 10Mbps broadband package - GBP13.50
Melbourne - 5-8Mbps broadband package - AUD40
New York - 7Mbps broadband package - USD41.95
Here's another tidbit from The Malaysian Insider article:
In KL, a Honda Civic is priced at RM115,000 - 20 times an auditor's average monthly earnings.
In Melbourne & London, the price is respectively AUD25,000 and GBP19,000 - 3 times an auditor's average monthly earnings in those places.
People what else do you need to throw out this BN?

Understanding Islam thorough Sufism

I read this interesting article by MAGICK RIVER which made me understand Islam better compared to what I hear and see in Malaysia.
Many years ago I met a Sufi master whose profound understanding of Islam truly impressed me.But before I continue with this story, let me state that almost all the Muslims with whom I have had close friendships have either been Sufis - or were gravitating towards a mystical interpretation of Islam. The mystical approach is experiential and private; whereas ritualistic religion is regulated by public behavior and therefore tends to be tribalistic in nature.
I find it impossible to have an intelligent conversation with fundamentalists of any persuasion - whether Muslim, Christian or whatever. This is because fundamentalism is antagonistic to intelligence. Wherever violence erupts over religious differences, fundamentalism is invariably the root cause. Brawn and brute force override brain and heart when independent thinking is suppressed.Looking up the word "fundamentalism" in my trusty digital dictionary, I found this concise summary:
"Islamic fundamentalism appeared in the 18th and 19th centuries as a reaction to the disintegration of Islamic political and economic power, asserting that Islam is central to both state and society and advocating strict adherence to the Koran (Qur'an) and to Islamic law (sharia), supported if need be by jihad or holy war."
There you have it. Fundamentalism is basically an outward manifestation of ego insecurity. An entire tribe or nation can suffer from ego insecurity and seek refuge in hardline dogmatism and fanaticism. You could say it's a pathological condition and, as such, can be quite easily cured - once the hidden hand behind the reactionary forces is revealed and surgically amputated.
In every case you will find that the chief puppetmaster isn't even a believer. He cynically exploits the gullibility of the mindless mob and manipulates its collective pain-body through control of the mass media and law enforcement. Coming back to my Sufi friend who enlightened me about the essence of Islam. He pointed out the significance of a triconsonantal syllable in Arabic and Hebrew which expresses peace, harmony and wholeness: the Arabic SaLaM and Hebraic ShaLoM are the commonest embodiments of this key to being truly muSLiM.Sin-Lam-Mim (Arabic: س ل م‎ S-L-M; Hebrew: שלם‎ Š-L-M) is the triconsonantal root of many Semitic words, and many of those words are used as names. The root itself translates as "whole, safe, intact."
Note that this triconsonantal syllable forms the root of the words "Islam" and "Muslim." This places the frequency of peace, harmony and wholeness at the very core of Islam and any sentient being that consciously aspires towards attunement and harmonization with the Whole of Existence is intrinsically Muslim.My learned friend explained that the word, written as Al-Lah means The Great Void - or The Nothingness from which Everything was born. In other words, Source.

Go Sami Go

KUALA LUMPUR, April 7: The Malaysian Insider — Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu earns just over RM27,000 per month plus allowances as special envoy for infrastructure to India and South Asia, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) disclosed today. In a written reply to Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng, the PMO said the former works minister is paid RM27,227.20 to help Malaysian construction firms break into the South Asian market.In addition to that, the government gives Samy Vellu “conveniences and other allowances” in line with his status as special envoy, which carries with it a ministerial rank.He also has a staff of six and works from the special envoy’s office in Plaza Sentral, Kuala Lumpur.
wow, what a life for Samy! Way to go Samy, PM ada kerja kosongkah?

Malaysian Indians Worth

I was shocked to hear in the radio of "An evening with the premier and the first lady of Malaysia" and they are saying that free food, goodies, lucky draw,entertainment with a grand prize motorcycle for the lucky winner!wow what a deal for the Indians just throw them free food and entertainment.that's good enough to garner their vote anyway this is what BN is thinking! Don't the Indians have any pride, how low would they stoop to sell their pride, shouldn't they be boycotting such programs which implies that they cheap? Have they forgotten of 2007 incident when thousands of them were treated like animals by the BN government and the many deaths in police custody or the latest interlok issue. The government has always paid lip service to the Indian community and when they throw a piece of bone with little meat they go running to BN. When will they ever change and take some pride in how they could make this country a better place for all of us.Think lah!

In the name of god

Shariatpur, Bangladesh (CNN) -- Hena Akhter's a 14 year old girl was found guilty of having an affair with a married man and sentence to 101 lashes, She dropped after the 70th stroke and was rushed to the hospital bloodied and bruised, where she died a week later. The imam from the local mosque ordered the fatwa, or religious ruling, and the punishment 101 lashes delivered swiftly and deliberately in public. The initial autopsy report cited no injuries and deemed her death a suicide. Hena's family insisted her body be exhumed. Alya, Hena sister said that Hena was walking from her room to an outdoor toilet when Mahbub Khan gagged her with cloth, forced her behind nearby shrubbery and beat and raped her.Hena Akhter's last words to her mother proclaimed her innocence and the family wants the world to know what really happened to their daughter
Take the religion out of this issue, on a humanitarian ground how could the so called religious and pious Iman order 101 lashes on a 14 year old girl. What kind of religion is that which orders such a punishment upon a young girl? What compassionate and merciful god are they referring to? Is this the kind of religion that mankind needs? Or is it man’s interpretation of religion in ignorance!

Kisah Al-Kitab

The influential Perak Mufti Harussani Zakaria warned the release of the impounded 35,100 Malay language bibles could led to Malay anger and fear consequences. He said he was “afraid” the community would rise in opposition of the ministry’s decision and create further tension in the already delicate situation. “I am scared... everything can happen here. People are very unhappy and everything can happen,” he warned late yesterday.Harussani said that regardless of whether the matter’s legal status, Muslims still believe “Allah” should stay exclusively theirs.
I am not sure why this so called half baked Mufti is blabbering about, since when is the word ‘Allah’ belong to the Malays or Muslim? As I understand that the word was used even before Islam by the Jews,Christians and later by the Sikhs, so how could it be exclusive to the Muslims? Secondly, is it that only the Muslims can get angry, how about the Christians,Hindus, Buddhist and the rest, don’t they have any right under the constitution? Harussani, please don’t threaten others as the knife can also cut both ways!

Muhyidin the Two Faced Minister

The controversy over the 'Interlok' rose several notches today when the eight-member independent panel to review and amend the novel saw all its ethnic Indian members pull out this afternoon. Following a meeting held at Parliament building with Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin today, all three ethnic Indian panellists declared they were withdrawing from the government-created body. According to writer Uthaya Shankar SB, the decision was taken after it became apparent that the other members of the panel had changed their minds after Muhyiddin rejected to all 100 amendentments and the panel rejected one-by-one the 100 modifications. “They (other panelist) said that soem words are not sensitive”. How would they know? We are Indians. We know what is sensitive and what is not,” said Uthaya, who is a celebrated Malay writer. These jokers are acedemics and intellects! My foot!
Now it is evident that Muhyiddin is just playing the political game by being insincere to the Indian community saying a committee shall be formed and will look into the amendents,yet this scumball instructed the panel what to be do. This is the typical UMNO style leadership. So MIC leaders, what are you going to do about it? Nothing as usual, I hope? Just go on sucking balls!

Interlok

I wanted to write about interlok for some time but never came around doing it. There were many quarters raising some intelligent question about the novel but it seems to fall into the governmnet’s deaf ears. The question that I wish to address is, not about the novel itself but about, but why is the Education Ministry insistent about making this novel a compulsory reference material for the form 4 and 5 school syllabus. Our beloved Education Ministry cum DPM could only set up a committee to review the book but not called for a complete ban. What if an Indian were to write about the Malay in adegotary manner would he still call for a committe or other wise? The committee did not allow any media coverage as they were banned from attending the meeting. Is it a drama that is being staged by the committee, why hide inside a room and make decision when you can be open about this issue.
Come to think about it, Hindraf is only voicing the dissatisfaction of the Indian community at large and about this novel being used as reference material in the secondary school. Why is that the Ministry did not follow their own criteria whict they set themself. The PM even has the cheek to tell that Hindraf is demonstrating seeking publicity and this joker claims that he is PM for all races but his action tells otherwise. Don’t you find it hilarious with his 1Malaysia slogan; People First, Performance Now.
Let me ask the PM, whom I assume is a Muslim, if this book were to be published during Prophet’s time, what would he do?

Indian or Malaysian Issue

Police arrested Human Rights Party (HRP) leader P Uthayakumar and 108 others and erected roadblocks around Kuala Lumpur in the bid to stop an 'anti-racism' rally aimed at protesting the controversial 'Interlok' novel by national laureate Abdullah Hussain, which has been criticised for containing racial slurs and stereotypes against the Indian and Chinese communities. Why is that this issue was considered as an Indian issue and why not as a Malaysian issue.
How are we going to form the notion of 1 Malaysia or whatever theme and slogan when the Indian communities issues or problems are always highlighted by Indian organization and not by others. When they highlight the issues faced by the community they are labelled as racist who does not support the greater course. Why is that no Malays, Chinese or lain lain spoke in support of this group? When no one highlighted their plight is it wrong for them to take matters in their own hand?The only support came from Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and that too was just requesting the authority namely the police to allow this peace rally and that's it. No Anwar, No Hadi no Ketingan , not a single voice of support!
What is that Hindraf is requesting, some demands that are genuine to Indian community need and neither the PM, Ministry , MIC the so called one and only Indian champion, Gerakan,PPP or whatever their names are does not seems to understand this issue. Let’s ask ourselves why are the Indians reverting to street demonstration, is it for just a publicity stint as mentioned in the various main and alternative media or a genuine quest. Hindraf is the only organization that I’ve known that have not changed their demands nor swerved from their original quest. Yet I wonder why is that the general Malaysian public could not see this as a Malaysian problem. Until and unless we move away from this race, religion stigma, this issue would continue to be an Indian problem and not Malaysian.

Harapkan lembu,lembu makan padi

Penang Syariah High Court judge Adam Tumiran, 43, pleaded not guilty in the George Town Syariah Lower Court today to committing close proximity with Nurul Izani Md Isa at a government quarters here last Dec 5.Nurul Izani, 34, a financial adviser working in Kuala Lumpur, also pleaded not guilty to the charge before judge Nik Bukhari Hashimy Nik Yahya, who then allowed both of them to be released on bail of RM2,000 in one surety each.Adam and Nurul Izani were charged with committing the offence at 2.05pm at house 18B, state government quarters, Jalan Masjid Negeri here.
Anyway they are also human mah!

Interlok ala Malay

The novel Interlok has been getting better mileage and sales in Malaysia as many Malaysian are crowding to know what is the content and now it is an open secret what the education ministry has been doing in the name of literature in educating the minds of the Young's.

I've got no qualms about the word "P" as I fully understand the meaning, those who consume beef are considered un-clean and been categorically labelled "P".So what is the big deal about it, as most Malays and many other races who consume beef are considered "P" from an Indian perspective akin non-muslims are considered kafir by the Muslims.
What if the reversal were written, just a thought, what if a local Indian were to write a novel and label the Malays as pendatang,bodoh,malas just as an example.(No malice intended)

Muthu: Aiyo, these Malays are really stupid as they do not know how to tie the wire around the rubber tree. Tell them many times also doesn't know. aiyo.aiyo kadevulley,"Vallayankatti"
Ramu: Muthu, you right brother,they are slow like an ox when they do work they take more breaks in between work, real malas people.
Ah Seng: They only like to talk and talk but no action one loh.They all day long smoke their rokok daun and the women chewing tobacco. My neighbour Ali has 4 wives and most of the time I see him at home, no work he do....how to take care of family one?
....and the story continues.
Now if the novel include historical facts and also uses demeaning words about the Malays, what would the Malays do and I am not talking about Perkosa here? Just a thought!

New Year- 2011

Have not wrote for a while due to change in work nature and sheer lost in interest to write about anything. Looking at the issues that have cropped up lately; From Interlok to illicit flow of $$$$, nor any positive signs of improvement either in race relation or religious acceptance
Wonder how Malaysia would be in 2011? I am slowly loosing my grip in the change which looked promising in 2008.
