Pemerhati-msia, it is people like you that makes me fearful of our future. What does it take for you to recognize injustice when it doesn’t effect you in the forseeable future? Why have to be so defensive and rude? Especially if you know that islam also stands for equality and justice. Islam is a beautiful religion, and often misunderstood in the western world. If you can see the prejudice against muslims in the western world, surely you can also see injustice within your country where the dominant group are muslims instead? If you really care about your fellow human beings which include non-muslims, then seek instead to question how non-muslims are effected by by the laws or practices in this country. As for jac, i don’t know if she is christian, but i sense that her principles are such that if she is, she won’t have any qualms discussing with you on unjust practices within christianity. ironically, the words of ‘absolute truths’ you utter is similar from other faiths. the difference is the name of the religion, but they are similar in that it is the people who use them for their own interest and to perpetuate prejudice.

Not only Malaysia Boleh, our PM also boleh talking the walk when he told Malaysian to walk the talk. So where is he walking to….....? perhaps with samy hand-in-hand to the highland towers to see another bukit runtuh.

Let me just say this once and for all, for all the hard-headed non-Muslims in this country: Issues pertaining to Islam CANNOT be deliberated by the the nons because Islamic rules are not NEGOTIABLE. The rules are set by Allah, interpreted by the ulamas and practiced once it becomes a fatwa. All these are done by Islam religious authorities, for the Muslims. Non-muslims are looking at it from a non-Muslim stand point, and who are you to say it is right or wrong? Even if it appears VERY WRONG to the nons, believe me, real Muslims will still adopt it as an order from Allah the Creator. There is no ifs and buts, and neither can anyone induce any force to change that. And non-Muslims must learn to accept that. And why can’t you, since Muslims (here and out of the country) NEVER looked at any other religions’ practices, nor comment them nor try to make them change them. This is what I like and admire of Muslims and Islam – they never evaluate (or kacau) other people’s religions. Now, if this stupid woman name Jacqueline Ann Surin is soooo smart, ask her to just reserve her non-Muslim thots to herself, lest I come out with one thousand and one bad things about her religion. Her religion (and I assume it’s Christianity), is a big can of worms that I would take the chance to spill out, if she doesn’t know how to shut her big fat mouth.

Jac is right. In 2004 AAB promised so much that I was convinced that Malaysia can emerged from the previous administration with a breath of fresh air.

AAB promised so much but how has he fared?

On the positive side, the media has more freedom if you look at the issues exposed, except for what happened to China Press.

On the negative side, let’s look at how AAB handled some crises:

1) Petrol proce hike – AAB just issued a brief simple statement “change your lifestyle”—how, may I ask? We are having a much lower standard of living that US, UK and Sinagpore. Can government also lead by example? Instead we see horrendous traffic jams caused by road closure for NAM and at Sg Buloh, MPPJ spending RM7million now trim to RM2million for some meaningless celebration.

2) Electricity hike despite impressive TNB post tax profits-AAB explain this as “it’s inevitable” after Sarawak election—at least TNB should explain exactly why the increase should go ahead and also try other cost cutting alternative, e.g. collection of bad debts from big defaulters, get some external consultants to trim “fats” to address the alleged cashflow problems

3) the unruly crowd in Penang disrupting a civilised and permitted forum – AAB said,” be sensitive to other religion”—it defies my understanding that the PM sides with the mobs and tell off the innocent party for something that they did not do

4) open defiance of the police on the IPCMC and the website thingy – AAB just mentioned that “it is the view of minority”—Police sending electrifying messages and AAB seems to pass the buck to AG to study the need for IPCMC. This do not protray him as firm, decisive and authorotative in the face of chaos.

5) supporting Iran and Hamas—sorry I cannot see why Malaysia must support a state known to support terrorism and a well known terrorist group. Iran wants nuclear weapons; do you want your irresponsible son to drive yr BMW around? Hamas – what have they done for the people of Palestine? I do not know of any social and economic initiative of substance. The only image I know of Hamas is masked men carrying AK-47. I won’t invite them to my house for parties at all.

6) Close one eye case – AAB’s silence is deafening. He has not said a word since Shahrir resigned, the whip emphatically say that no BN MP can support any motion by opposition eventhough it is right (funny BN used to say opposition oppose for the sake of opposing….. The BN MP needs to be put in order. It appears chaotic to me.

Verdict so far: AAB needs to give more contribution – improving people’s standard of living and ensure social justice to convince me to vote for him. There is still ttime, not much of it.
