Election by the majority will not benefit the majority?

Do you believe in what politicians are really saying or do they think we are really stupid? Go figure!

This politician said that election will only be good if it benefits the majority!

What the heck! If a democratic election is held, only the majority decision is the decision that the majority hopes will beneift them! Or do politicians think that the people cannot elect the right person to represent them?

Just cannot believe in what I read!

Good Food, Good Sex and Good Marriage?

Er, just in case you label me as a male chuavinist pig, that is not my opinion it is an opinion of a woman, not any ordinary woman but a top politician.

If that is the basis of a marriage, why would a male bother to keep the relationship going? For good food and good sex? If that is the case, once the food and sex runs sour, what is there to stop a man from running to another who can provide the same, or worse what is there to stop the man from going to a restaurant and than a prostitute, if that is all that will satisfy a man.

I find this degrading for woman. And insulting for man.

I believe the basis for a good marriage is a strong relationship based on mutual love and respect, sacrificial care and giving by both parties, and commitment to God and to each other. Once this is in place, whether the food and sex is good or not, the relationship will continue to flourish. But then once it is flourishing, the food will be good one way or another, and definitely the sex will become great. That is my experience.

This is what the good book say about marriage:

Eph 5:33 But every husband must love his wife as he loves himself, and wives should respect their husbands.

Another World Record For Malaysia

Malaysia has a fondness for breaking world record in the mundane stuff, like the largest flag, tallest flag pole, and tallest building (until last year that is).

This must be the new world record in a telephone bill! 800 trillion ringgit! I cannot work out how much is a billion, let alone a trillion. 800 trillion must be worth at least 8,000 years of our GNP (Gross national products).

Lets work out the sum, I think our GNP is about 100 billion ringgit per year. Now 1 trillion is 1000 billion, so 800 trillion must be 800,000 billion ringgit that works out to be 8,000 years worth of our GNP!

The US economy GNP is only 60 trillion US$ and that comes to less than 240 trillion ringgit. How can a telephone bill come out to be more than 3 times the US economy?

This bill is definitely a world record, for a telephone bill or even if it is a mistake, it is a world record mistake! Be proud Malaysians :) be very proud about this latest achievement. :D

Sunnis and Shias

Daily now we read of human bombs in the Middle East. It is however Sunni Muslim human bombers targeting against the Shia Muslims. What is going on? I am a bit confused and more than a bit concerned over what human can do to human.

I have a little read about the affairs of things.

This article put the history of the enmity between two groups.


I hesitate to call it religious violence because I do not know enough. If it is, how can one group of believers of the same faith murder another group from the same faith? The same can be said about the Northern Ireland violence. It is called sectarian violence. But is it as simple as that? I am not sure.

I think human beings are by nature sinful. We cannot help ourselves. Religious deeds cannot save us from ourselves. Our emotions are too volatile. We carry too much historical baggage with cultural differnce in human realtionship. Any of this can spark a fire that will burn out the human tinder wood of history.

That is why I believe we need a Saviour to save us from ourselves. That is why I believe in Jesus. He did not create an empire, an army or an institution. He did the opposite and sacrificed himself for our sins.
What a man, what a Saviour!

Laugh or Cry?

You tell me. I dunno.

Judas the Hero?

News and more news are reporting that there is a fourth century manuscript purported copied from an even earlier manuscript that is written by Judas, suggesting that Judas did not betray Jesus but was only acting on Jesus' instruction, thereby fulfilling Old Testament prophecies of crucifixion and resurrection.

Is this plausible and how would it affect our faith? Well this is a background of this document from a non-Christian source. Here is more.

Since the document is based on an earlier manuscripts described as Gnostic, an early sect that was proclaimed as heretical by early Christian leaders, the surfacing of this document will have no impact on the Christian faith whatsoever because the battle had been waged as early as 180 AD. The letters of John deals with Gnosticism. Read it and get a feel of what the Gnostics believe in. Ask the questions in why did Apostle John write the 3 letters to get a feel of the battle for our faith which has stood for 20 centuries.

Piggy backing on the popularity of the Da Vinci Code infamy, the Gospel of Judas will only bring us to examine our faith and see that it is based on unshakeable historical facts. The fact that millions of dollars have exchanged hands in obtaining this document further indicates that publicity is now being generated to garner as much income as possible from this controversy.

Here are some reactions: here, here, here, here, here, here

Icy Logic

Some people just want a scientific explanation for everything.

Try explaining Jesus walking on water? This guy says he was walking on ice!

Incredible, but would not accepting that it was a miracle easier? What is the chance of ice forming at precisely the moment Jesus walked on that particular patch of water? Not forgetting that Peter and gang were on a boat and Peter did tried to walk on the same batch of water as well but sank!

This proved for me, that Jesus was in control of the elements and weather.

Soul for Sale

It is not April Fool but apparently a Chinese tried to auction off his soul. This news item comes from a reliable and internationally renown source.

How much is your soul? For me it is so valuable that Jesus Christ died in order to redeem it for us. It is the most valuable thing in the universe that money cannot buy!

Spas Germinates Bacteria?

Spas are found to encourage infectious disease bearing bacteria!

Just when we need a long relaxing soothing bath to calm our jangled nerves! So will the power shower be next?

Throw away your bi-focals!

This prototype makes bi-focals or even multi/vari-focals redundant. But the fashion moguls need to work at it before it will be received with any enthusiasim by the consumers, unless you want to look nerdy and be a geek!

Zocor Going Generic

This is good news for those who suffers from high cholesterol. The world's No. 2 cholesterol-lowering medicine, loses its patent protection in June, opening the door for inexpensive generic copies that could ultimately save consumers billions of dollars.

Generic medicine is every bit as good and effective as the branded ones. For example, paracetamol is the generic form of Panadol. Equally effective but at one tenth of the price!

"A generic drug (pl. generic drugs, short: generics) is a drug which is bioequivalent to a brand name drug with respect to pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, but is normally sold for a lower price. Generic medicines must contain the same active ingredient at the same strength as the "innovator" brand, be bioequivalent, and are required to meet the same pharmacopoeial requirements for the preparation. By extension, therefore, generics are identical in dose, strength, route of administration, safety, efficacy, and intended use." wikipedia.

So for all you cholesterol watchers, it is good news. Whatever you are paying for Zocor or Lipidor, you will save money if you go for the generic one when it hits the market in June.

Da Vinci Code Controversy

So the divine Jesus and infallible Word emerged out of a fourth-century power-play (duing the time of Constantine)?

That is the core of all the hoo-hahs in 'The Da Vinci code' book. Dan Brown claimed that he based his book on history, but the so called history is extremely thin on facts and doubly thick on imaginations. Dan Brown's book is fiction that is based on dubious theories. So just treat it as a good conspiracy fiction, not a historical based treaty on church history.

Prayer Heals?

No! I agree with the results of this findings.

Prayers do not heal, only Jesus heals. There is a difference in prayers with faith and prayers without faith. Faith of those who pray and those who receive prayers.

Faith in itself does not heal. It is Jesus who heals.

So we look to Jesus, the same yesterday, today and forever. He healed, is healing and will continue to heal.

RM20 may be charged on Singaporean and Thai cars entering Malaysia. Will this help on subsidy cost or will it stop tourist coming from our neighbours? What is the net income or loss?
