Basis for Race?

This is most mind boggling if true......


Easy to become a Malay, says MB
Kota Kinabalu: Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Haji Mohd Ali Rustam said a person who is a Muslim, converses in Malay and follows the Malay traditions is considered a Malay.

No Joy

Those for decision basically says
1) It is the constitution, follow the law
2) Those who embraced Islam cannot leave. Otherwise it is desertion from an army
3) Use the shariah law to rectify the issue

Questions
1) The original constitution of article 11 has been amended by article 121. Why?
2) Those who were born into it might never have embraced it. How?
3) The shariah court does not have a good record for those who desire to leave Islam. http://www.suaram.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=124&Itemid=29 As far as I know, that court aloowed less than 20 to leave in more than 20 years and there are hundreds if not thousands of such cases pending. What then?

The way to celebrate

The sensible thing to do, a proper perspective of what an individual, royal or common, rich or poor, can do when a BIG day comes along.

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/5/13/nation/17715743&sec=nation

Royalties (and we are a royal people) need not show off.

Remember the poor is what Paul urges us to do.

This is the spiritual thing to do.

My heart is warmed.
Thank God for good senses in a time of excesses.

Chastity Belt - Safety Belt?

Friday February 16, 2007 (The Star)

'Chastity belts can thwart rape and incest'

HULU TERENGGANU: Women should wear chastity belts to thwart rape and incest which are rampant nowadays, a well-respected religious figure here suggested.

Datuk Abu Hassan Din Al-Hafiz said chastity belts would protect victims and also help reduce sex crime rate.

More here: http://malaysia-today.net/blog2006/newsncom.php?itemid=2523

----end quote---

Does it really help victims by wearing the belt? Rape is more than sex, it is power. Imagine the fury of the rapist when he finds out that after overcoming the victim that he cannot complete the sexual domination! Instead of being a rape victim, she will become a murder victim.

How did our leaders come up with such great ideas? sighhh

Edit: For those who wanna know what is a chastity belt go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chastity_belt

But this do not tell you that arts humanities (like lawyers) are usually top governmental officials. Some are even Prime Ministers. How much do they earn? Think about that.

Thinking aloud allowed?

Yes but it can be costly or even dangerous.

2 of our most famous bloggers are being sued and be forced to watch their expressed thoughts.

I might just want to stop subscribing to that newspaper that is suing. Defamation is personal but does a newspaper have a reputation that can be defamed? Does not make sense to me.

Fruits in season with durians

Rambutans, mangosteen, langsat (not in pic),...... but what is that fruit as big as a mangosteen, taste like langsat in the pic? I dunno, you tell me. I just eat them.

Beaufort Sabah

Beaufort, not UK lah. Stopover town to/fro Lawas. Beaufort Fried noodles worth a try.

Lawas Durians

Round trip of 400 km for durians. Worth the time and money as KK durians (dunno imported from where) cost much much more.

Kueh Chap

Thick kueh teow in herbal pork mixed meat soup. This kueh (as in kueh teow) chap (as in mix pork meat, ie intestines, liver, lung, tongues, egg, toufoo, cartilage, pork belly) is drowned in a dark herbal soup with the aforementioned meat is simply delicious

Finished with sambal cili padi

Chew Yen in Kolombong is one of my daughter's favourite stall, san the sambal and innards. She loves the soup. Father and mother also love it too lah, except for the sons who are conservative in their food intake.

Making Sense

In the midst of senseless rhetorics and stupid bravadoes here is a lady that make sense.

She is so brave to speak from within a religion that marginalises her.

School Holidays.

2nd son worked for extra pocket money. Good for him to appreciate the value of money and the dignity of manual labour.
