We can criticise what happened in Sabah. But Anwar cannot. Anwar has lost his legitimacy to criticise since he was part of the government that he alleges created this problem. And the US, too, can…
Wouldn’t that be nice? Now why do our 222 Members of Parliament, about 90 of them from Pakatan Rakyat, not discuss this? Rather than scream about the Sedition Act, why don’t they propose a new and…
If you want to end this problem then stop employing cheap illegal workers. Employ Malaysians. But then you would need to double or triple the salaries and that would make Malaysia uncompetitive.…
On the other matter regarding Tony Pua, in the past the opposition screamed that those who criticise the government should not be arrested for sedition, criminal defamation, or whatever. Instead,…
So can you see how potent a fitnah can be? Once the fitnah sticks, nothing you do can erase that fitnah. It will stick to you forever. And that is why Islam regards fitnah as a very serious crime…
So legislation does not work for Muslims. Muslims need education. But when the ulama focus more on legislation and less on education, this is when we will see the most Islamic state in Malaysia…
The problem with democracy and an elected representative system is the people do not vote on these laws. The elected representatives do. And there is no guarantee that the elected representatives…
Nationalism is forbidden in Islam and Muslims will cite the last sermon of the Prophet to support this argument. But Muslims celebrate Merdeka Day and Malaysia Day. In fact, we even declare those…
I take it you now understand what I meant many months ago when I said that democracy is not perfect and is merely the tyranny of the majority. And we are about to see why I said that. But then if…
So all these vices, ‘vice promoting’ events, and places of vices, must be banned. Those who resist are enemies of Islam and hence enemies of the Malays as well. Malaysia is divided into two:…
But first of all we need strict anti-discrimination and race laws. You must be punished if you call someone a pendatang just like you would in some countries if you call someone a Nigger.…
Let the Malays understand what the beef of the non-Malays are. Let the Chinese also understand what the beef of the Malays are. And the same for the Indians and the people from Sabah and Sarawak…
We either agree to live with one another as fellow-Malaysians or agree to just coexist. By coexisting this means we do not need to love each other. We can continue to hate each other. We just do…
Malays are an ethnic group of Austronesian people predominantly inhabiting the Malay Peninsula, eastern Sumatra, southernmost parts of Thailand, south coast Burma, island of Singapore, coastal…
So let us be clear about the definition of pendatang. All those Malays who moved from one island to another but within the Malay Archipelago are not pendatang. It is just like Malays from Penang…
Anyway, let us now talk about the issue of pendatang, which Zam lamented about. Maybe it is time we abolish the use of that word, as should also the word Bumiputera. By labelling one race as…
It is time Malaysia’s education system introduces this concept of studying religions. Even in the study of Islam, Muslims need to look at Islam not as a person of faith would but as a non-Muslim…
It is a cop out to say that religion is perfect and humans are not. There is not one major religious holy text that was ‘handwritten’ by the deity concerned.
AsamLaksa
I meant to submit this…
Muslims need to re-evaluate the pilgrimage and ask whether they have met the ideals and objectives of the pilgrimage. The pilgrimage is not about a set of rituals but about your soul being…
Malays are not poor. Malays are just less wealthy than the Chinese but far richer than the Malays of 50 or 60 years ago. And if the excuse we go to war in Syria or Iraq is because the Chinese are…
Now they say that that was the plan all along since the very beginning, to oust Khalid and replace him -- first with Anwar, and then with Dr Wan Azizah, and finally with Azmin.
NO HOLDS BARRED…
So we need to be clear on what Dr Dzul means by progressive and how far this progressiveness extends. If it is only as far as abandoning the Islamic State and the Islamic Sharia laws of Hudud then…
By the way, many of those successful Malays of the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and 1960s were not very religiously inclined. Many drank, gambled, partied, and whatnot. It was when the Malays were…
And it would help if the Chinese can practice some humility and not keep saying that they are successful because they are smart and work hard whilst Malays are not because they are lazy and…
Hence Saari would now have to make sure he can prove he has not been bought and unless and until he can then Hadi’s allegation against him stands and we will consider him guilty of having sold out…
My second suggestion to the IGP would be to stop arresting Malays who sit down with their Chinese and Indian friends to drink beer. Instead, the police should arrest the religious department…
So the children of farmers and fishermen were doomed to become farmers and fishermen. They had not learned any other skills and due to lack of education there was nothing else they could do until…
The point is many Chinese and Indians talk fondly about the Malays they knew back in the 1950s and 1960s. Then, by the 1970s, things started to change. The Malays started to become more…
Yes, if we open the Pandora’s box and start discussing the issue of moral versus legal, then there are many more issues we need to discuss other than the issue of the Selangor Menteri Besar.
NO…
So Syed Hamid can take that book of his and shove it up where the sun does not shine. And we have to be very careful of Malays or Muslims who pass themselves off as descendants of Prophet Muhammad…
