“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 »
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 »
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
Korang ni semua buta huruf betullah!
Should the incoming Menteri Besar of Perak is Mr Ngeh from the DAP, I speculate UMNO-putras will take advantage to play the racial cards again. Mat Cemerlangs are at their disposal. The loose coalition DAP-PAS-PKR must have considered this issue to avoid future tensions and possible racial incitement.
Besides, I speculate the coalition have a few issues to ponder:
There are rumours the coalition in Perak have nominated Ir Mohamad Nizar of PAS for the MB post. We will see how an engineer lead the Perak government. Will there be more fly overs instead of U-turns in Sitiawan? Mr Ngeh who won in Sitiawan could be the next Deputy Menteri Besar… wohooo!
I am extremely excited that the opposition won in 5 states including Perak! The opposition are expected to form the state governments of Kedah, Penang, Perak Selangor and Kelantan soon. While reading the news online, I almost cried in happiness. With so many odds we are up against, we the voters have made our voice heard!
Let us pray the opposition will try their utmost best to run these states and their constituencies. I also hope there won’t be major bickering in this loose coalition of oppositions. No, they are no longer oppositions in the 5 states! yay!
On another note, a friend in Kajang mentioned she saw similar names in the electoral list yesterday while striking off voters who had casted their votes. Could the opposition have won bigger if indelible ink were used?
I seriously doubt this banner is the work of a non-Malay judging from the words use. The words use are typical of UMNO.
The banner is near an UMNO office and “Hidup Melayu” is a slogan of UMNO.
But we don’t really have proof if it was their work, do we?
Mat Cemerlang mana yang nak mengaku?

History was my favourite subject in high school. When I was given a book voucher on Speech Day in standard 6, I used it to buy a PMR history reference book published by Sasbadi back in 1994.
History was and still is fascinating. Almost all my classmates in ACS Sitiawan knew my interest and depth of knowledge in history. Scoring A’s for History wasn’t difficult at all. With my frequent discussions with adults and friends of various races and coupled with my understanding of local history, I am able to understand many current issues affecting us which my contemporaries do not. Personally, I find it peculiar when young adults ask about the NEP, Malay rights, May 13 and Read more »
