This is my response to satD on “Flirting with Disaster: An Analysis on the Demand for Religious Freedom in Malaysia”

Dear satD,

Great effort in setting up your argument on this topic.

Do allow me to point out something, and hope this does not offend you.

Your premise on why Bishop Ng should not say so is shown based on Egypt, and you have refuted the claim by explaining at length on Religious Restrictions and Social Hostilities.

As what I understand of Bishop Ng’s statement, I doubt he at any point imply constitutional and fundamental human rights is equated with “high government restrictions and low social hostilities”. In fact, it should incline towards “low government restrictions and low social hostilities”.

Hence, your conclusion is misguided by your false premises.

At this point of time, my personal opinion, I still yet see how our constitutional and fundamental human rights as per defined in our country’s constitution and also the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (which Malaysia signed and embraced) justify “high government restrictions and low social hostilities”. In fact, IMHO, i see it as “low government restrictions and low social hostilities”.

What you think? Leave your comment ya :)

With the recent fatwa on Poco-poco dance, Muslims in Perak are forbidden to dance as it contains spirit-worshipping and Christian elements.

Though I have no access to the details of the Fatwa, a quick google does shed some light on the controversy.

Assalammualaikum.

Alhamdulillah kerana kita semua masih bernafas lagi dgn keizinanNya. Saya ingin berkongsi dgn rakan2 semua tantang tarian pocoh2 yang sedang hangat ditarikan oleh semua lapisan masyarakat,umumnya masyarakat kita yg beragama islam terutama suri2 rumah dan badan2 kerajaan ketika manghadiri kursus.

Sebenarnya tarian pocoh2 ini berasal dari Filipina bukannya dari Indon.Ia ditarikan oleh masyarakat yg berugama kristian ketika mereka menghadiri upacara sembahyang mingguan mereka.Lihatlah sahaja bagaimana pergerakannya, yg membentuk salib.

Mungkin kita x perasan kerana kita suka mengikut2 sesuatu yg baru tanpa usul periksa. Inilah cara musuh2 islam mengenakan kita sedangkan kita tahu apabila kita melakukan sesuatu yg menyerupai sesuatu agama maka kita dikira merestui agama itu seperti amalan yoga yg telah difatwakan haram kerana menyerupai agama hindu.cuma tarian pocoh2 ini belum difatwakan haram lagi. Marilah kita sama2 fikirkan. -wanmus, Brunei Lifestyle

Prime Minister of Malaysia Najib is famous of his by-election “You help me, I help you” tagline which has been mentioned first in Sibu, then now again in Kerdau, in a different manner. Mat Sabu of PAS, an Islamic based Political Party in Malaysia has an interesting view on Najib’s tagline.

“If this is not corruption, I don’t know what is corruption”

An interesting fact, Najib tops the chart in Google on “You help me, I help you“.
