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.
