Non-Muslims against discrimination, not Islam

I came across this article by one Muhammad Abdullah which was published by Malaysiakini. After reading the article, I realised that what Muhammad Abdullah had written was absolutely true. It seems that he shared the same ideology as Raja Petra Kamaruddin. I’m taking the opportunity here to republish the article to be shared with all Malaysian. Give it a thought……with an open mind! TRY not to be too racist!

Muhammad Abdullah | Oct 7, 08 4:42pm (Malaysiakini)

It’s funny now when I recollect my experience as a new convert to Islam. I was told by the ustaz whom performed the ceremony:‘Do not follow the Malays but follow the Quran’. I did not understand then what it meant and I brushed aside his advice at that time in ignorance.

After looking at the events that are unfolding in Malaysia, I am beginning to understand what the ustaz meant. In Malaysia, it is a fallacy that Malays equal Islam as what is being practiced by the Malays is not what is propagated by the Prophet (pbuh) or according to the Quran. I am not saying that there aren’t any following the teachings, as I know many who do.

The more I read the Quran, the more I understand how it is being practiced here. Raja Petra Kamaruddin wrote: ‘My god is different from your god’ in ‘Malaysia Today’ on how he viewed Islam as being practiced by some in Malaysia.

I am in the position to understand better how the non-Muslims are feeling about the Malays and Islam at large as far as Malaysia is concerned. They are not against Islam but they are against discrimination and falsehood being practiced as Islamic in Malaysia.

A Malay-Muslim in Malaysia can say anything and everything about the non-Muslim and it is totally acceptable but not so for non-Muslims as they can’t even hold a forum to discuss about conversion to Islam as it is presumed a crime against Islam.

They feel that the non-Muslims are challenging Islam or even more so the Malays. If this isn’t double standards than what is? If you are a Malay-Muslim, you have every right to voice your opinions but you won’t allow non-Muslims to even hold a forum to discuss about their issues or problems.

Islam is a peaceful religion but are we are showing the non-Muslims and the whole world how ‘peaceful’ we are in our conduct?

I bet many Malay-Muslims will never understand the predicament of the non-Muslims in this country because they have never been on the other side neither are they willing to sit down at the same table to discuss matters.

I grew up in a Malay kampung when I was young and I was treated with more respect by the Malay folk even when I was practicing a different faith then. They would come over to my house during the festive seasons to enjoy the feast and they were very much Muslims.

But that has changed now as it is considered to be un-Islamic to visit the house of a non-believer! How sad that some religious bigots have influenced the minds of the Malays over the years.

Non-Muslims will always be skeptical about Islam and Muslims in this country as long as the Malays behave opposite to what is taught by the Quran. It hurts me more to see how the Holy Book has been distorted by some and misunderstood by many.

May I quote Surah Al-Nahl, Ayat 125: ‘Invite (all) to the Way of the Lord with wisdom and beautiful discourse; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for the Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.’

To be respected, respect others first and try to understand before being understood. I truly wish the Muslims in Malaysia would take stock of our deeds as we are answerable during Judgment Day. Whatever we do, Allah knows it all.

JORDAN CHANDLER ADMITS HE LIED ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON

After the sudden death of Michael Jackson, Chandler tells the truth.

In 1993,  Chandler told a psychiatrist and police that he and Jackson had engaged in sexual acts that included oral sex, the boy gave detailed description of Jackson’s genitals. The case was settled out of court for a reported $22 million, but the strain led Jackson to begin taking painkillers. Eventually he became addicted.

Now maybe for the remorse of his death Chandler decides to tell us the truth.  “I never meant to lie and destroy Michael Jackson but my father made me to tell only lies. Now I can’t tell Michael how much I’m sorry and if he will forgive me.”

Evan Chandler was tape-recorded saying amongst other things, “If I go through with this, I win big-time. There’s no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever…”

Under the influence of a controversial father who told his son to tell that Jackson had touched his penis. Jordan Chandler then told a psychiatrist and later police that he and Jackson had engaged in acts of kissing, masturbation and oral sex, as well as giving a detailed description of what he alleged were the singer’s genitals.

“Now for the first time I can’t bare to lie anymore. Michael Jackson didn’t do anything to me, all was my father’s lies to escape from being poor.”

This “article” quickly spread through the Internet, especially over Twitter, where it spent a considerable amount of time in the trending topics.

A surprising number of people believed the article without question, despite the fact that it was on a new wordpress.com blog, with no history of accuracy and no sources.

Can you believe this article? I don’t know if I can but if Jordan comes out and make a public statement with his lawyers, maybe then I will believe….meanwhile….let the raging fire of hell awaits the liar!

By the way, if it is true, is this what’s happening to DS Anwar Ibrahim on his sodomy charges? Wonder how much Saiful was paid to trump up the story of being sodomised! Wonder which is more beautiful – to lie, get money and live in luxurious life or living in the raging heat of the fire of HELL?

The Death Of Michael Jackson

The 'new' Michael Jackson

I still prefer the 'old' Michael Jackson

Jackson, the “King of Pop” who once moonwalked above the music world, died as he prepared for a comeback bid to vanquish nightmare years of sexual scandal and financial calamity. He was 50.

He died Thursday at UCLA Medical Centre after being stricken at his rented home in Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him.

“It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until results of the autopsy are known,” his brother Jermaine said. Police said they were investigating, standard procedure in high-profile cases.

Jackson’s death was confirmed by the Los Angeles Times and then The Associated Press just minutes before the nightly network news began. The anchors relayed the news at the top of their broadcasts, though CBS and ABC quickly moved on to their prepared obituaries for Farrah Fawcett, who died earlier Thursday.

Altantuya’s father continues to pursue legal recourse

Who Masterminded The Murder Of Altantuya?

SHAH ALAM: The leave application by the father of murdered Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu to quash the prosecution’s decision not to appeal against the acquittal of political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda will be mentioned at a High Court here on July 8.

The matter will be called before a deputy registrar to ensure that parties had filed all required documents for the hearing proper.

On Tuesday, Judicial Commissioner Justice Noraini Abdul Rahman ordered Altantuya’s father, Dr Shaariibuu Setev, to file submissions-in-reply to both respondents’ papers.

Setev had on Dec 24 last year filed an application for judicial review to quash the Attorney-General’s decision not to appeal against Razak’s acquittal.

He had named the Attorney-General and Razak as respondents in his application.

For More

What a sad ending for those two guys who were condemned to death for murdering Altantuya. If I am in their shoes, I will surely upside down the bucket and let all the rubbish out, like who are involved and instructed them to commit the murder. Why suffer while the master-mind is happily enjoying the fruit of their pending death? They might have murdered her but what’s their motive? They have no connection with her before they were instructed to neutralized her. Instructions must have been given to them to neutralized her BUT by whom? Before the real culprit or culprits is/are charged for instrumenting the neutralization of Altantuya, then justice is deem to have not been carried out.

Originally the Attorney-General charged Abdul Razak Baginda for conspiring, then when High Court judge Justice Mohd Zaki Md Yasin acquitted and discharged him, the AG decided not to appeal. My simple conclusion is that the AG is incompetent or was there an instruction not to appeal? Why charged him in the first place and then said “had made a finding of fact in its decision (the court)”. Was charging him in the first place just part of the ‘wayang kulit’ and ‘let the court decide’ decision. A decision which was pre-arranged? Only GOD knows the real truth and the FIRE OF HELL is awaiting the real culprit no matter how religiously he/she pray for forgiveness. As I have said again and again, we might run away from the truth, use our richness and political connection on earth to hide ourselves from the evil we do on earth but we can never run nor hide from our Creator.

MAY THE RAGING FIRE OF HELL AWAITS THE MURDERER/S!

ASSEMBLYMEN GRAFT TRIAL:Perak Exco didn’t discuss Seri Iskandar township

IPOH, Mon: Not a single land development proposal for the new township of Seri Iskandar was discussed by Perak’s state executive council throughout 2008.

Abdullah Antong Sabri, who is secretary of the Perak state executive council, told the Sessions Court today that although he was aware that there were proposal papers on land development for the new township, located about 45km south-west of here, none of these were brought to the attention of the state exco.

Testifying at the corruption trial of state assemblymen Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu (Independent-Changkat Jering) and Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi (Independent-Behrang) and four others, he said as the person-in-charge of readying files for the perusal of exco members during exco meetings, he did not see land development files pertaining to any Seri Iskandar project.

His Lordship Justice Anakdesa, in his n0-page judgment, alone unanimously rule and established that the defendants are found NOT GUILTY.  Based on Article 69(4) of Anakdesa Constitution which, by plain reading says – All have been arranged by the top brass to ensured that no by-election be held and also as a prize for being a ‘frog’.

(Mark my words when judgment is made)

Only the following day when he was taken to court for remand order, his wife was informed about the nature of his arrest. According to his wife, she saw bruises on his face.

Ganapragasam told the magistrate that he was assaulted by the police while in their custody. However, on the 14 June (Sunday), the wife of the deceased was told to be at the mortuary of University Hospital.

No one was allowed to view the corpse except for his wife, not even his teen-age children. The next-of-kin, politicians and friends gathered at the compound of the mortuary waited for Ganapragasam’s wife with anxiety.

She related that she was only allowed to view her husband’s corpse which was tilted sideway with visible bruises. Other than looking at what her eyes were allowed to see, she was even disallowed to touch her husband’s body. The vital question is, WHY?

SOMETHING ?

Zaid: Umno leaders opposed disclosure

PETALING JAYA, 15 June 2009: Senior Umno leaders shot down efforts last year to get ministers to publicly declare their assets and income, former minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim revealed today.

Zaid, who was sacked from Umno and joined Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) on 13 June, blamed Umno leaders for scuttling then Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s intentions for all ministers to declare their assets.
Zaid “I still remember when Pak Lah suggested that ministers declare their assets and income. I suggested to Pak Lah that the declaration forms should be simplified like the ones used by the Australian government so that they are not difficult to fill.

“But it was never implemented because of objections by senior Umno leaders,” Zaid said in his blog posting Kepada Adnan Yaakob dan rakan-rakan.

Zaid was responding to Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob, the Pahang Menteri Besar, who called him “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” for joining PKR.

Zaid resigned as a minister on 15 Sept 2008 over the government’s use of the Internal Security Act and was sacked from Umno on 2 Dec 2008 after 23 years as a member.

These UMNO leaders must be damn rich with the rakyat’s monies that they dare not publicly declare their assets and income. This is what we rakyat have been saying, OUR LEADERS ARE CORRUPTED! If not, what’s there to hide? Or scared? We rakyat never ask you corrupted leaders for a single cents. All we ask is RETURN our monies!

Zaid has joined PKR

KAJANG: Former Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has joined Parti Keadilan Rakyat.

PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who made the announcement during the party’s special convention to amend the party constitution, said Zaid’s inclusion will boost PKR’s agenda to promote democracy and freedom of expression.

He added that Zaid was known to be vocal against the Government’s arbitrary use of the Internal Security Act (ISA).

Zaid had resigned from the Government last year due to dissatisfaction over the use of the ISA on a reporter, a web portal editor, and a Selangor state executive council member.

In welcoming Zaid on Saturday, Anwar commended him for his bravery in fighting for human rights, democratic principles and for the independence and reform of the judiciary.

“Zaid’s close friendship with colleagues from PKR, DAP and PAS will help strengthen the inter-party relations in the Pakatan Rakyat.

“His role in PKR will be formalised by the leadership later. Due to his experience Zaid may be given a seat in the supreme council and head the political bureau,” he told reporters.

Zaid said he had decided to join PKR and not the DAP or PAS as his political ideals were similar to PKR which he described as a multiracial party that fights for the rights of Malaysians.

“I choose this day to join because this is also a historical day for PKR (to amend its constitution). I’m offering my services as I also have friends in Pakatan Rakyat component parties, and I know Anwar is a good man,” he added.

Zaid resigned from the Government in September last year in protest after he criticised the arrests of DAP MP Teresa Kok, online portal editor Raja Petra Kamarudin, and Sin Chew Daily journalist Tan Hoon Cheng under the ISA.

The former Kota Baru MP was also seen mingling with Pakatan leaders at their functions before he was sacked from Umno in December last year.

For years I’ve been following the political situation in Malaysia and I’ve never came across a man such as Zaid Ibrahim, who stood-by his principle. How many of the present or the past ministers will/have willingly quit their post if what they are instructed to do was against their principle. NONE except of course Chua Soi Lek. But then again that is because of different issue. However I still salute him for being a gentleman who accepted his wrong doing and resigned.

I have great respect for a someone like Datuk Zaid for his openness and  I believe that should he be given the opportunity to run the country, corruption and  cronyism will be a thing of the past. Many ex-ministers and politicians will find themselves in court for all the corruptions they did during the past years. We need someone like Zaid to make things happen when the present or past government can’t even dare to think, let along do i.e. fight corruption.

To Datuk Zaid Ibrahim, Anakdesa salutes you!

Was Manohara really abused?

FAKHRY IS ANGRY THAT MANOHARA EXPOSED HER PRIVATE PARTS

Smiles and Laughter can be deceiving

Fakhry is said to be angered that Manohara Odelia Pinot exposed her body parts to the world. Fakhry made his views known to Manohara through the blog of a mysterious spokesman on toughlane.blogspot.com on Friday. Sources in Jakarta believe the ‘mysterious’ blogger could be him or one of his many ’spokesmen’ who interfered in the affair so far…(Read Here and see pic)

Hemm…it is thus understandable why Tengku Fakhry as a husband was angry. Which husband with the right thinking wouldn’t? If I were in his shoe, I would probably as angry or even angrier then him. I would be very, very angry because what was exposed is supposed for my eyes only because I’ve ‘bought’ the subject and no one help me pay for it. So why share! Secondly because of moral, religious and of course because of my blood type issue. My blood type is ‘X’ while others are of type ‘A’, ‘B’, or ‘O’. So how can you and I share the same subject! Lastly maybe it actually exposed the truth about myself.

Whatever it is, I may run away and hide myself from all these sinful people on earth. Use any human connection and political powers on earth to ‘clear’ my name BUT I know there’s one that I can NEVER hide from…..GOD! I might get all the fresh air here on earth by just driving to Genting or by switching on the air-con BUT the heat of the FIRE OF HELL will surely awaits me upon my return to my Creator.

MANOHARA AFFAIR: Police to record statements after prince lodge report

KOTA BARU, Fri: Police will record statements from several people, including Manohara Odelia Pinot, the estrangled wife of Kelantan prince Tengku Temenggong Tengku Muhammad Fakhry Petra and her mother Daisy Fajarina, following a police report lodged by him in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.

Deputy Kelantan police chief Datuk Amir Hamzah Ibrahim said the statements were needed to assist the police into the case.

“We are now studying the report and as in any other investigation, we will record statements from those implicated or believed to have links to the allegations in the report.

“Obviously, we will need the co-operation of Manohara and her mother,” he said.

Manohara, a former Indonesian model, flew back to Indonesia from Singapore on May 31 when she was in the republic with her husband to visit the Sultan of Kelantan who was warded at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital.
As soon as she returned to Indonesia, Manohara, who married Tengku Fakhry in August last year, was reported to have made various statements in the Indonesian media, including claims that she was abused by him.

Tengku Fakhry, the third son of Sultan Ismail Petra, in his report lodged at the Dang Wangi police headquarters denied the allegations made against him by Manohara, her mother and other parties.

Amir Hamzah told the New Straits Times that the investigation into the prince’s report would be carried out together with several reports against blogsites that had allegedly defamed the Kelantan royal household.

Police are investigating the cases under the Penal Code for defamation.

(The New Straits Times)

Aiyoyooo…dare not comment ohh…This is no free world when it comes to people that walks the corridor of power!

Anyway, both sides have made police reports against each other at their respective country. My sincere hope is that the case be heard at the international tribunal rather at either country. Whatever it is, I certainly don’t condone domestic abuse, if what Manohara claimed was true. Likewise neither do I condone liars, if it’s true as what Tengku Fakhry claimed.

Only God knows the real truth! To whoever the culprit is, BEWARE of the fire of hell which awaits you!
