DUBAI, UAE TO APPOINT FEMALE MUFTIS

WHEN WILL THAT HAPPEN IN MALAYSIA I WONDER?

BASED ON THE RECENT EVENTS WHEN THE FORMER MUFTI OF PERLIS STATE [Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin] WAS DETAINED, THERE MAY BE VERY LITTLE PROGRESSIVE THOUGHT IN MALAYSIA, HOW SAD!

Gulf Arab Emirate of Dubai plans to appoint female muftis by the end of next year in an unprecedented step that could trigger opposition from some Muslim conservatives.

It sounds like a postive move to me.

Malaysia - Listen to a Racist Radical & a Rational Realist

BBC Radio 4's Crossing Continents travelled to Malaysia to explore the divide among races and spoke to the new generation of Malaysians pushing for more equality after decades of a system of racial preferences.

This extract features reporter Mukul Devichand speaking to Sue, a Malay Muslim.
Religion is important to her and this has influenced her views on race.

"If all of the Muslims would actually practice Islam like the Prophet did, then I don't think the Chinese and Indians would have a problem with the Islamic system " Sue.

To get a feeling of how things are in Malaysia with regards to racial harmony, tolerance, mutual understanding, open mindedness and unity, please listen to the views expressed in this video.





Now get the radical, ultra racist, intolerant, divisive, selfish and narrow minded view, by watching the video below.


"This is our land basically. We have already given one special privilege to the non-Malays, that is citizenship" Luqman.


This extract features reporter Mukul Devichand, of BBC Radio 4's Crossing Continents, speaking to Luqman, a Malay student leader at the Universiti Teknologi MARA, who last year led a street protest after an official from the opposition held State of Selangor, remarked that perhaps one in 10 university places at MARA should be opened to other races.

The full documentary was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Thursday, 8 January, 2008.

MALAYSIAN MINISTER - SO RUDE & UNCOUTH

Watch the YouTube video below, and listen to a disgraceful Malaysian example of human behaviour. Hear what minster of information Rais Yatim has to say, and observe his body language.

What an excellent example of the arrogant, self centred, pig headed, ignorant, rude, crude and uncouth attitude of many UMNO / BN politicians.

Rais Yatim's behaviour obviously brings shame and disgrace to the nation.





Rais Yatim has been called a dinosaur and a selfish opportunist, perhaps he is just that?
Malaysia should have no place for such UMNO / BN arrogant and rude kind of behaviour in this era, the 21 century.
Roll on the next general election.
Then the voters can kick out all of those corrupted racist goons who are now in power.

RACIST SENTIMENTS FROM MP IBRAHIM ALI

Ibrahim Ali

The Pakatan Rakyat (PR) should be led by PAS instead of PKR because PAS had more 'grass-roots' and had more Malay members.

So the historically thoughtless loose canon, male chauvinistic and overtly racist, Pasir Mas, Kelantan (formerly UMNO now ‘Independent’) MP, Ibrahim Ali was reported to have said.

He said PKR, although led by a Malay (Anwar Ibrahim) and had more MPs in Parliament, is perceived by many to be a multi-ethnic, (multi-racial) party, similar to DAP.

“This does not fit in well with the Malay psyche.

To balance insecurities and fears, PAS should be appointed to led the Pakatan,” he said in an interview.

Ibrahim went on to say that the move to have PAS as the leading party in PR would reflect the actual demographics in the country where Malays were dominant in terms of numbers.

He added that this would appease all communities and lead to the birth of a practical two-party system where no single coalition is strong and each side can become the watchdog of the other.

In my opinion, racial / ethnic based political parties, and other institutions should be abolished and then outlawed in Malaysia.

All references and records appertaining to race, ethnicity and religion should be expunged from all public records, documents, forms etc.

Nobody should be required to fill in parts of any forms or documents which refer to race, ethnicity or religion.

As it is now, it is very common to see forms of all types from the public and private sectors in Malaysia with such race and/or religion declaration requirements.

Every citizen of Malaysia should simply be referred to as a Malaysian.

Only when all references to race, ethnicity and religion are expunged, will Malaysia become a truly just, unified and coherent nation, where each and every citizen is equal.

The strength of unity is absent from Malaysia, even after 51 years of so called independence.

Ubi concordia, ibi victoria

Where is the unity, there is victory
