Socially Ancient

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

With the Allah issue taking headlines, Information Minister, Datuk Dr.Rais Yatim has came out in his usual style telling Malaysians not to (over) indulge in social networks such as Facebook & Twitter.

101 East : Who’s Allah

Monday, January 18th, 2010

You have to watch this episode of Al-Jazeera’s 101 East. Aljazeera explores the Allah controversy with a debate featuring Pas MP Khalid Samad, social activist Marina Mahathir and Abim’s Yusri Mohamad.

Malay = Islam? Im not too sure about that statement, i think that Islam as a religion is way more than Malays and those who think that Malay=Islam need to give more respect to every single human being because it sounds like they are stuck in some shell which is keeping em air tight!

My respect for Marina Mahathir and Khalid Samad for their open views and Abim’s Yusri Mohamad.. Needs to think before talking because he looked totally out of sorts!

Religious Rumble

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

With the Allah issue now taking up the hottest spaces on major dailies, it made me think if half a million would fix it?

Prime Minister Najib announced a government allocation of RM500,000 to rebuild the Metro Tabernacle Church

That followed with more churches getting attacked, a surau getting attacked and there has been constant anticipation what would happen next? Personally i haven’t seen enough being done by the government to move in to swiftly address this problem because like it or not, it is a HUGE PROBLEM. (more…)

Church Attacks

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

It was a sad sad day for all Malaysians with the attacks on churches in the Klang Valley yesterday. All this came from the use of the word Allah. Who has the rights to use the word? Who has the ultimate power to decide who uses it?

The police who still have not found who stole a jet engine from the arm and missing child Sharlinie apparently have identified suspects in less than 24hours. Hopefully the issue gets resolved by the involved parties and those who were responsible for the attacks are brought to justice.

Lets Make Em Keep It Clean

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Parties are always fun and a blast but here in Malaysia, post parties are nothing short of a eye sore! I was at Thailand a few years ago and while my friend and me were watching a parade along the main street in Phuket, we saw something that was new to us. The municipal council was cleaning up right behind the procession to ensure that the infamous tourist destination remained clean.

Now back to home (more…)

To Tie or Not to Tie

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

While i was working with a NGO, i went to Digi for a meeting.
