Peace Fast results!

Fast for peace is OVER! 
 
Didn't really do much.. just puttered around the house and what not.

Apart from the headache and infuriating food scent towards the end...hey, it ain't so bad after all. We shud do this more often. After all, it's for a worthy cause...

Fast for the Nation, Peace for Malaysia 2009.

First time doing the total fast. It's daunting but hopefully will get thru it with no roadblocks of the unnecessary kind.

Fast for the Nation, Peace for Malaysia 2009.

Cow heads gets pin from PDRM

All hail the cow heads!
Pray hard that a real life horror show of cow heads don't walk scot-free for raising racial tensions up a few notches...because that was expected.
Prove me wrong, Malaysia, cos I want to be proven wrong in this case.

Your feet isn't empty.

From Arcamax Jokes:
A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, he said: "Now, students, if I stood on my head the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I should turn red in the face."

"Yes, sir," the boys said.

"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"

A little fellow shouted, "'It's because yer feet ain't empty."

But isn't it the same thing we want to tell certain leaders, that last line?

terrorists or displaced heroes?

So Malaysia gained independence without bloodshed. Is that right?

Interestingly enough our communists who are in Thailand's peace villages are a peaceful lot who thinks BN is a scourge and Sejarah is filled with wrong facts. As most people suspected so already, I guess.

Hmm...
What say you?

Severed Cow Head Forges On

This post is in regard to the demand Hindu American Foundation (HAF) made to the Malaysian government to conduct an inquiry to identify and punish leaders of the mob involved in last week's provocative and insensitive demonstration outside the Selangor state secretariat.

If that ever happened literally, it would not be stranger than fiction. It's downright blood-curdling.

On the other hand, it just might, in the not so literal sense of the phrase.
Why is that? Because this case where a large group of our religiously intolerant brothers may get away with their antics. Again.

Wanna know why i said that?
Simple.
Name me one case involving some high profile fellow behind playing wayang kulit that wasn't swept under the carpet.

I wonder anyone remembers Altantuya?

Conversion or Body-Snatchers?

Welcome to a certain place near the equator on the third rock from the Sun.
In this place, it's citizens have a problem of the religious kind. It's called conversion and the knowledge of it after a person's death.

http://www1.malaysiakini.com/opinions/111088

According to authorities, these converts, or muallaf as they are called, had converted at some point in their lives and regrettably did not inform their families.

However in the case of Mr. Gan Eng Gor, who was said to be a Buddhist convert to Islam and was ordered to be buried as a Muslim by the Syariah Court, his family insisted that Gan had never converted to Islam, saying he had suffered two strokes and could not speak at the time of the alleged conversion.
 
The reasons are plausible, but honestly, is there really a need to body-snatch from grieving relatives?
I can't say for sure because I do not have much knowledge about Islam enough to criticize the authorities who help bury the dead according to their rites. On the other hand, I question their (the authorities) motives of doing so.

This is because, to my limited knowledge that is, when a parent converts to Islam in Malaysia, the children will automatically become converts themselves, with or without consent of the children. Another thing is that when that person dies as a Muslim and the children are not Muslims themselves, whatever property that dead convert has, automatically goes to the baitulmal.

Another question I want to ask is: If Malaysian citizens have a right to religion, why is it that Islam is the only one one can convert in, and not convert out?

Please feel free to correct me and educate me.
