So, Ibrahim Ali, trying to have your cake and it too, eh?

I am sure by now everyone knows who Ibrahim Ali is. For those who are not in the know (and that would be a big surprise), he is none other that the honcho of the new Malay rightist group, PERKASA, who has been blaming the Chinese for the ills of the Malays. He even singled out people like Francis Yeoh, Vincent Tan, Lim Goh Tong (bless his soul) and, not forgetting an Indian, A K Ananda who are the main cause. He has warned the Malays that the country would soon be ruled by the Chinese and that the Malays should stand up to defend the Malay race and Islam. Well, what do you know? This fella is actually profiting himself by working with the likes of BERJAYA, i.e. Vincent Tan. it is a sheer wonder, how he could lie straight face to the Malays when he all along had already compromised his integrity. What kind of leader is this? Another Malay taking the poor Malays for a ride.

From the company report below, his name appears in the "Corporation Information" page and page 7, highlighting the profile of the directors.

A Call To All Malaysians

Hi.
I am a 23 year old Malaysian and I lead a team of dreamers who are working hard to make this country a better place. We are not trying to start a revolution nor are we trying to disrupt the peace. We are merely trying to put back that true sense of peace and unity which we lost when we left primary school. We want to tell the youth of our nation that indeed there is still hope for our nation, that we are not alone. We want all to know that there is indeed a longing for POSITIVE action brewing within all of us in the midst of today’s issues whether we speak of it or not.

Perhaps we have not acted on our troubled conscience because we have long thought we have lost the power to make a difference. If that is so, then you are not alone. That is because I am the same; I too have lost that belief that ‘one can make a difference’. However I believe when 2 or 3 are gathered, incredible things can happen. Therefore, I am willing to try and will leave this in your hands, so that I and more like me can be proven wrong. What we are going to do is give you a matchstick each. How you use it is up to you, but I believe none of you are fools, so please start that fire. The more that joins in, the bigger it will be.

So this is what’s happening; we have taken up the challenge to register 1,000,000 voters by the end of 2010. Even though we do have a SUPERB plan, that’s right, its 6 ZEROS! Impossible? I think so, unless everyone rises up and helps out. Only then can we reach that INSANELY EPIC target. For your information, we are not in this for personal glory, nor are we part of a business gimmick, and definitely not controlled by political parties. Anyways, if we wanted glory and money I think we wouldn’t have set ourselves up for EPIC failure like that.

Have I got your interest?

If you are inspired and want to be part of this, scroll down to the ‘how to’. If you are thinking that there is no hope and our efforts will only be futile in the end, I hope that you will see at the end of 2010 that you are indeed the minority and majority of us actually still have hope. If you are still unsure as most of you are, scroll down to the ‘how to’ and join us to look and see if this will actually work. Trust me, it’s going to be an exciting and entertaining ride whether we hit our target or not.

The Miracle of the Host

I am pleased to embed here below a video explaining the miracle of the Host, offered during the Holy Communion of a Catholic mass. After viewing the video, one can understand why the Catholics are upset over the desecration committed by the two Al Islam reporters. What is the status of their spiritual selves now after having tasted the Host, I wonder. Are they still Muslims?

Although the commentary is in Spanish, you will be able follow the presentation by referring to the English subtitle at the bottom of the screen.

Monday Humour

UMNO protesters could not even get their simple English right.

Now you know why English is so important even if you want

to stage a protest.

Get it right, please!!

Shame on you when the whole world is reading those banners.

A total disgrace to all Malaysians!!!!

The World Is Nuts!

In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by death.
(Like THAT makes sense.)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Bahrain , a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror.
(Do they look different reversed?)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.
(Much worse than 'going blind!')

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time. Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry.
(Let's just think for a minute; is there any job anywhere else in the world that even comes close to this?)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The husband's illicit lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired.
(Ah! Justice!)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England -- but only in tropical fish stores.
(But of course!)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to witness the act.
(Makes one shudder at the thought.)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time.
(I presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this law?)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Maryland, USA it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with one exception: Prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only 'in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises.'
(Is this a great country or what? Well, not as great as Guam!)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
(Who volunteers for these tests?)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated.
(Did our government pay for this research??)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Ah, geez.)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that too.)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Starfish don't have brains.
(I know some people like that, too.)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
And, the best for last?
Turtles can breathe through their butts.
(And I thought I had bad breath in the morning!)

Al Islam apologises to Christians

Islamic magazine Al-Islam has issued an open apology to the Catholic Church and Christians, which has been posted on the website of its publisher, Utusan Karya.

According to the apology, the magazine apologised for running the May 2009 special report, titled 'Tinjauan Al-Islam Dalam Gereja: Mencari Kesahihan Ramaja Melayu Murtad'.

Al-Islam said that the report had "unintentionally hurt the feelings of Christians especially Catholics".

The monthly magazine also explained that the report was to investigate allegations of apostasy and the actions of its journalists were never intended to deride the Christian faith, let alone desecrate their house of worship.

It stated that Al-Islam journalists who wrote the article also apologised for unintentionally hurting the feelings of Christians in the pursuit of their duty.

Malaysiakini was informed that Kuala Lumpur Catholic archbishop Murphy Pakiam has already been told about the apology. But attempts to contact Pakiam at his residence for comment has so far been unsuccessful.

Sources close to Utusan Karya, which is subsidiary of Umno-ownedUtusan Malaysia, said the apology was already in the works but it was delayed as they had to consult with lawyers about the legal ramifications.

This apology came following Thursday's press conference where Pakiam told reporters that the church would be satisfied if they received an apology from the magazine or its publishers over the matter.

However, this only came after the blogosphere was set abuzz with the insensitive comments made by the AG. After my posting yesterday, the following appeared in the following blogs with furore :

1. Martin Jalleh

2. Malaysiakini [Readers' comments]

3. K Sudhagaran Stanley

4. Lim Kit Siang

5. The Nut Graph

6. Malaysiakini

What kind of AG do we have to give such flimsy excuses

Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail has decided not to press charges against the two reporters who wrote an article about the church and Islam in a magazine.

He said taking stern action would not be in the interest of justice, peace and harmony at this particular time. “I have previously decided similarly in other cases where the circumstances were quite similar involving other religions, under those circumstances taking serious action would not be in the interest of justice at that particular time,” he said in a statement here today.

He said a police report was lodged in respect of an article published in Majalah Al-Islam entitled “Tinjauan Al-Islam Dalam Gereja:Mencari Kesahihan Remaja Melayu Murtad” in its May 2009 issue.

“The police commenced investigation and submitted the investigation papers to my Chambers,” he said.

Abdul Gani said the investigation revealed that the two reporters went into the Church of St Anthony at Puduraya to verify allegations that Muslims were converted into Christianity and the use of the word “Allah”.

“Their observations showed that such allegations were not true. In the church, they were given the white bread by the pastor which they subsequently brought back to their office.

“It was further disclosed that they did not know the significance of the white bread. No disturbance was caused in the church. In fact, no one in the church was aware that they were Malays,” he said.

Abdul Gani said the actions of the two reporters might have hurt the feelings of the people but he was satisfied that they did not intend to offend anyone and it was an act of sheer ignorance. — Bernama

I almost felt like throwing up after reading the comments by our AG. To be appointed to such esteem position must surely reflect a high level of intelligence compared with the normal man. The statements made by him however reflect the contrary.

Allow me to express my view. To the comments shaded in brown - so he had decided on similar cases in the past. Were the culprits Muslims, Hindus, Christians or atheists? If the perpetrators were non-Muslims, I bet you, the law will be in full swing and to top it all, street demonstrations will be the call of the day, with special "permits" granted to them. So, Mr AG, can we know the nature of the such cases you have handled in the past. However, if the perpetrators were Muslims, as in the Al Islam case, then you are only encouraging Muslims to carry on doing what they have been doing, since you do not consider it an act of aggravation.

Remarks shaded in blue - the host was brought back to Al Islam office? For what? To keep as a souvenir and gloat over it? The fact is, they had it in their mouths and spitted it out on the ground and then have the host photographed. Mr AG, it is all in black and white in the month's issue of Al Islam or are your blind? How would the Muslims react if a non-Muslim were caught abusing the Holy Quran by throwing it on the ground and then spitting on it, and later plead ignorance? Would you treat this case as 'NFA' or throw the books at the culprits? The host, like the Holy Quran, is a spiritual item and therefore, must be accorded its due respect. You are a lawyer so you have must heard of "Ignorantia juris haud excusat", which now brings me to my next point.

Remarks shaded in pink - no disturbance in the church? Of course, there was none because no one was aware of the incident. If someone had been aware, I cannot imagine what would have happened to the two reporters. They would probably be hauled up bodily and brought to the nearest police station to be charged. Similarly to visiting a mosque, the moment you step into the premise, there is a code of conduct that need to be observed. In any case, if the two Al Islam reporters had wanted to check out whether there are any Muslim in the congregation, why didn't they seek the permission of the priest prior? I am sure he would only be too happy to welcome them to sit in during the mass and observe.

Towards, this end, an apology is in order.

It's about Simon Cowell

Since the "American Idol" is a hot topic at the moment, here is something you should know about Simon Cowell.

AMERICAN Idol judge Simon Cowell is planning a low-key wedding at an English church where his mother, Julie Cowell, worships.

Cowell, well known as the acerbic judge in the Idol show, got engaged to make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy last month.

According to a Daily Mirror report, the music mogul's mother said she was "very excited about the wedding" and would love to see her son get hitched at St Margaret's in Rottingdean, East Sussex, south-east England.

Julie told the tabloid: 'I'm very excited about the wedding and I'd love him to get married at St. Margaret's. But it's up to him and Mazghan."

People magazine reported that Miss Hussainy, 36, has been sporting a large diamond ring on her left hand lately, reigniting speculation that the fickle judge had finally found his match.

Second ceremony

Cowell's UK rep Max Clifford told People last week that Simon, 50, and Hussainy "are very suited."

"She is someone who is independent and says what she thinks and feels, and he likes that. He's probably the happiest I have ever known him in the nine years I've been working with him."

It is also reported that Simon is considering having a second ceremony in Los Angeles to please his fiancee's family but friends of Simon say the plans are already stressing him out.

According to People, Amanda Holden - who sits alongside Simon on the judging panel of UK TV show 'Britain's Got Talent' - claims his romance with Hussainy has made him much easier to work with.

She said: 'He's a different man - more giggly, naughty and silly. Trust me, this girl is 'The One'.

'Simon's a better boss when he's in love because he just wants to go home, which means we get off earlier.'
