Allah, Tuhan and Negara-ku revisited

This issue was highlighted back in early 2009 when the 'Allah' issue was on the boil.  Today, this issue is once again reignited.  UMNO and its religious bigots have stuck to their demand that Christians should use the word 'Tuhan' instead of 'Allah'.  Now look at our national anthem -

Negaraku,

Tanah tumpahnya darahku,

Rakyat hidup, bersatu dan maju,

Rahmat bahagia, Tuhan kurniakan,

Raja kita, Selamat bertakhta!

Rahmat bahagia, Tuhan kurniakan,

Raja kita, Selamat bertakhta!

With such a thinking from UMNO, how is it possible for the Muslims now to sing the national anthem as they would then be honouring the Christian god?  On the other hand, if they were so idiotic enough to change the word 'Tuhan' to 'Allah' to cater for the Muslims, then you will not be getting the non-Muslims to sing as they are prohibited from uttering the word 'Allah'.  This 'Allah/Tuhan' debate does not only affect our national anthem but several state anthems as well.

Will someone please come to his senses and do the right thing.

Well, so much for 1Malaysia!
