The Malaysian Insider headlines:
Najib calls for calm, government will appeal decision
What does this tell us about this 1Malaysia PM, "the Government will appeal", why the Government, is the Government for muslim only? The Government must stay neutral as it serves all Malaysians and not umno or muslim only. This means that Najib who is leading the Government is against Malaysian Christian to use the word Allah because it is sensitive and touch the feelings of the muslim. What about the feelings of the other non muslim Malaysian Christians, do they have no soul nor feelings? So, tell me 1Malaysia PM, what exactly is it about your shouting 1Malaysia?
It is well acknowledged that the word "Allah" have been used by the Christian in Sabah and Sarawak for a very long time, even TM admitted that and why out of the blue the home minister banned its use. 'Allah' may be used by others to confuse Muslims said one Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. After others have been using the word "Allah" for decades, only now in the 21st century, that they say that it can confused the muslims, without any evidence or proof to what they claimed. They thought so only and the home ministry simply banned it without thinking further, just like the indelible ink fiasco, base on hear say but with no proof or evidence.
The PM of 1Malaysia can only talk of unity, harmony and what not but he simply has no guts to put them into actions. Can he come out and admit that it was wrong in the first place to ban the word "Allah" after it had been used for so long by others without any problem.
My advise, Najib, Garbaged Your 1Malaysia Concept Now before it becomes a laughing stock to Malaysians and the world. What we can see in your 1Malaysia is that everything can be sensitive or hurt the feelings of muslims and malays but non malays and non muslims do not have souls or feelings at all to you.
The Malaysian Insider headlines:
Najib calls for calm, government will appeal decision
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today called on Muslims to be calm and not “heat up” the issue of the High Court decision to allow a Catholic weekly to use the word “Allah” in its publication.
The Prime Minister said the government was quite aware that the issue was sensitive as well as touching on the feelings of Muslims in the country and as such the government would deal with the matter as soon as possible. Read full story here.
Richard,
ReplyDeleteI wrote a post on this subject but I don't know if it makes any sense to you since I wrote it on the start of giving up my nicotine fix. (72 hrs now!)

Believe me when I say that one of the worst things that young Malaysians can get hooked on is trying out the smoking of "macho" menace!
This is a ONE way ticket to hell when you understand the dangers of smoking and try to put a stop to it!
Giving up smoking after 35 years is going to be tough for me but like politics in Malaysia, we won't know until we have tried - no matter how difficult it is!
Simply put we just have to plod on until we find the cure!!!
Damn, it is so so bloody hard!
Sorry Richard for using your blog to vent my frustrations at my own weakness!
Hope you understand that I'm going mad from a lack of nicotine!
