Sadness point of Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - – Malaysia's image as a moderate Muslim nation has suffered a blow with a spate of church firebombings that has widened ethnic divisions and posed a serious challenge for Prime Minister Najib Razak.

Nine churches have been attacked since last Friday, pelted with Molotov cocktails or vandalised amid anger over a court ruling that overturned a government ban on non-Muslims using "Allah" as a translation for "God".

The government has insisted that the use of the word by Christians, who make up nine percent of the Muslim-majority nation's population, could cause confusion and encourage religious conversion, which is illegal for Muslims in Malaysia.

"It is a low point for Malaysia's image as a moderate Muslim country," said Azmi Sharom from the Universiti Malaya, of the latest in a string of religious disputes that have raised fears the country is being "Islamised".

A Malaysian Christian is challenging the seizure of religious CDs with the word "Allah" printed on them, in the latest twist of an escalating dispute over use of the word, her lawyer said Tuesday. Related article: Malaysian Christian challenges seizure of 'Allah' CD: lawyer

Jill Ireland, of the indigenous Melanau tribe from Sarawak state on Borneo island, is seeking a court order to return eight discs seized when she returned from Indonesia in May 2008, her lawyer Annou Xavier said.

They include the sentencing of a Muslim model to six strokes of the cane for drinking beer, and "body-snatching" cases where Islamic authorities have battled with relatives over the remains of people whose religion is disputed.

The tussles have caused unease among Malaysia's ethnic Chinese and Indian minorities, who fear their rights are being eroded as political parties battle for the support of the 62 percent of the population that is Malay.

The "Allah" row "is an ethnic and political thing more than a religious one," said Azmi, arguing that the ban on the use of the word is aimed at shoring up government support among Malays, who represent its base.

"The term 'Allah' has been used commonly elsewhere. The government is just pandering to some people who are calling for the ban, but most people actually feel quite indifferent about this issue," he said.

The ruling party, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), has been accused of stoking Malay nationalism in order to protect its support base after 2008 elections where it lost ground to the opposition.

Pollster Ibrahim Suffian said the church attacks are a "double-edged sword" for Najib, who came to power last year pledging to heal divisions among the ethnic groups.

"If the government doesn't appeal (against the court ruling), it will be seen as offending the conservative Muslims in the country, but at the same time he has pledged to reach out to all minorities," he said.

"It just goes to show the limited amount of room he has between balancing his political interest and a wider Malaysian interest," said Ibrahim, head of the independent polling firm Merdeka Centre.

Najib has visited the scene of the most serious of the attacks, a church that was partly gutted last Friday, as have several leaders of the opposition Islamic party, which is challenging UMNO for Malay support.

The fire-bombings come just as Malaysia, Southeast Asia's third-largest economy, is trying to woo foreign investors. They also threaten to harm its tourism industry, one of the key foreign exchange earners.

"This is the communication era, so information travels fast... tourists will choose not to visit a country faced with conflicts, especially religious conflicts," Tourism Minister Ng Yen Yen has warned.

Religion and language are sensitive issues in multiracial Malaysia, which experienced deadly race riots in 1969.

The latest controversy may be prolonged as there have been no steps towards a compromise over the "Allah" case. The High Court last week suspended the lifting of the ban but has yet to set a date to hear the government's appeal.

Prominent Islamic cleric Harussani Zakaria said he recognised that the disputed word is widely used by Christians in the Middle East, as well as in neighbouring Indonesia, but said it had to be off-limits in Malaysia.

He disputed Christians' claims that they had used the word for centuries without incident, and accused them of having "hidden motives".

"We are still living in a moderate Muslim country but we can't be tolerant on issues of faith. Please just respect our faith, that's all," he told AFP.

Father Lawrence Andrew, the editor of the Catholic "Herald" newspaper which mounted the legal challenge to the government ban, was also resolute.

"How do we withdraw the case when the case has been decided and it was decided in our favour?" he asked. "We have been using the word for so long, at least 400 years here."

save it, it has warned us!

Please save our earth, our environment, the place we growth together.

Please heal the world, before it is too late.

i hate the kl's traffic

2009-07-30T05:45:00.000-07:00

the reasons that made the kl's traffic become serious and serious,
is caused by the behavior of the drivers.

Actually the traffic can be smooth or may be not so stuck,
all caused by the unpatient of the drivers and want escape from the crowded's feeling, then occured many and many accidents happened.

In one morning, i could see few accidents happen in the same spot.. at the same time.
Beside of this, the skill of drivers also very low standard. I really hope that our goverment can look about this issues, if not i also no idea that what will be happened for our next future.

Banks making lending "too cheap", a source from the star newspaper Malaysia

2009-05-11T17:48:00.000-07:00

stated that two top bankers have lambasted banks for making lending "too cheap" and giving into excessive competition.

"On consumer side, there's been over agressiveness and hire purchase loans which forced rate to falls " below economic level"

for mortgage, example that consumer can borrowed 3.3 per annum which is reasonable low for nowadays. Talking by the CEO from Malayan Banking Bhd.

and according to the HSBC deputy chairman, Banks should knows their borrowers who in turn, must know about their own funding requirements.

Is this the factors that effect our economics? I think it makes sense, everything must has the balance side. If bank borrow without counting , it will occur the risk for them also. Borrower just borrow and without return at last the bank will close door. Am i right? So everything must be in balancing.

Danger World

2009-03-20T17:58:00.000-07:00

World is danger, World is fake. I think most of the people will be mask up themselves especially when social at outside. Still remember when we were taught by our moral teacher that being a good person must not this and that. Sometime i also feel like stuck in the middle because feel like sir, you are the one say who say cannot this and that but i think even she or him also could not gurantee that they never cheat. World is cruel, because of human selfish or because of survive. So even they hurt you also is kinda normal situation.

Logically , human actually belong to one of the animal kingdom. We are known as "homo sapien"

that why, if we keep some of the selfishness also kinda normal right? Sound is kinda funny when i heard one of my friend said she now better become teacher. I asked her why? She said " because the reality of the world is so disspointed, i rather face those pure children face."

Yeah, reality, materialistic world is cruel. But i been heard a chinese word from a old people. He told me that this world is cruel, but " 适者生存". No matter how hard the world is , i think because of her. Fight for her and our future. Its worth. Because she is the only one who can give the couragement. She is the only one. So even the outside world is like the mystery but never mind. I will fight for it and learn to survive.
