Malcolm in the FRONT

Dear Ah Ma,

Thank you for the occasional jokes despite your sufferings. I like them. Your have great smile even while you were being warded last month. And I will always remember the morning we woke up last week to send you for change of dressing at the Air Itam government clinic. We were both excited that we reached the gate when it just opened at 7.30am. We were given number “1″ and we left within an hour. The feeling was good.

But I guess I never thought you will leave so early - a day earlier than my scheduled arrival. :(

“You are a good Muslim”, she said last night.

Since last Thursday, I was in Penang to visit my grandparents who are not well. Grandma’s foot hasn’t indicate any sign of recovery. She has diabetes. Grandpa who fell and fractured his leg is still in pain whenever he moves his right leg. He is unable to walk around - almost bedridden. Read more »

I was very happy on Monday night. Happy because I am finally self-employed and they sky is now the limit. Unlike when I was an employee, now the thoughts of how to generate income just keep flowing. It just feel different. A sense of liberation, a taste of freedom…

A lot of encouragement… Friends and Read more »

In memang best! PM dah kena tumbuk! Muaahhaha. LOL

No. Wait. I am still employed until end of June. For the past 36 months, I have learned a lot on starting and running a software company, e-commerce, online payment systems and online marketing. Lately, God have shown me signs to resign from my current position as an E-commerce Consultant (Payment Gateway Specialist) to start on my own online business. I had deep thoughts and some occasional sleepless nights thinking of the risks involved. Nevertheless, I have finally decided to tender Read more »

Ms Tan Eng Huang aka Siti Fatimah Tan Abdullah made the right choice to apply for conversion out of Islam through the Syariah High Court of Penang. Ms Tan was following the correct procedures as only the Syariah court has the jurisdiction to decide on matters pertaining to Islamic faith and not the civil court according to the Malaysian constitution at the time of writing.

One may argue that Ms Tan does not come under the jurisdiction of the Syariah Court since she is no longer a Muslim. This is similar to arguing that the 1995 rape case involving American military personnels in Okinawa should not come Read more »

She bathed once a day!!

Sometime back in 2004, my former colleague confessed she bathes only once a day and not in the morning! At her dismay, I almost couldn’t stop laughing. ROTFLOL. I can’t imagine a working adult in a software company  who comes from a middle class family in KL bathes only once a day despite our hot and humid weather. Sah ini Cina tak mandi pagi. Sungguh tak fresh pada waktu pagi bekerja. LOL.

That conversation reminds me of my former school teacher in Year 5. The year was 1993 Read more »

Sometimes I don’t know if I should laugh or be furious at friends who fire salvos of lies on Islam which I profess. All I would do is just listen and respond at intervals. Haha.. I am a guerilla fighter.

It interest me to hear some arguments thrown as well as see sour faces despite not being provoked by yours truly. Oh yes… you should see how awful females look when their faces turn sour. Too bad. Being emo Read more »

After reading this news report, I opine that Datuk Boey Chin Gan does not fit to be a Kedah MCA Youth Chief. Datuk needs to read up and talk to/listen to/discuss with his grassroots more often.

Chinese characters have been used to make it sound like “Kuala Lumpur” and “Melaka” while conversing in Mandarin or any Chinese dialect. That is how Jawi is like using Arabic characters for Bahasa Malaysia.

If Public Bank has Jawi, Romanized-Malay, Chinese and Tamil on their business signage even to this day (just like businesses in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s), is there anything wrong if a Malaysian uses Jawi to write although he is a Menteri Besar of Kedah?

While Datuk Boey is correct that Jawi is a not Malaysia’s official or national

Since when khalwat (close proximity of 2 persons of the opposite gender) is an offence for non-Muslims? As much as Muslims do not want the non-Muslims to interfere with the teachings of Islam, I think we should not interfere with others. Also, why waste time on such moronic ideas? There are more pressing issues to address…
