Somebody has been impersonating me on FB
As I’ve publicly announced several times before, I do not have any Facebook, Twitter or other social media accounts.
The last time, I had to complain to Disqus to get the service to terminate an impostor’s account which he misused to make nasty comments in ‘my’ name on political stories in Malaysian news portals. (more…)
The shorter you are, the higher you can soar
Gymnast Simone Biles (below) won four gold medals in the Rio Olympics last year. She is four feet nine inches tall.
Simone Biles − gold
Gymnast Morgan Hurd (below) just won the the all-around title in the World Championships last week on Oct 6. She is four feet five inches tall.
Very unusually for a gymnast, ‘Morgi’ – her nickname – wears glasses in competition.
In case you’re wondering, she was born in Wuzhou in Guangxi, China and adopted by an American woman as a baby.
Morgan Hurd − silver (balance beam)
MUST WATCH VIDEO!
The video below details the gravity-defying feats that Simone is able to accomplish due to her lack of height. Imagine what a pocket dynamo like Morgi is capable of as she progresses further in her training.
Mat Sabu’s straggly strawman in defence of his DAP best bud
PAN president Mohamad Sabu today trotted out a strawman argument claiming Umno is scaring Malays that the DAP intends to establish “a Christian state”. That’s just like making the equally strawish argument saying Umno is fear-mongering Malays that Lim Kit Siang wants to become the next prime minister.
We know that DAP would not be grabbing the premiership in name, even if the opposition does win GE14. We’re quite sure that DAP will leave the top job ostensibly in the hands of a Malay to serve as window dressing − as how the president of Singapore is a Malay woman. This is not to say, however, that the DAP will not be the real power behind the throne.
BELOW: In the short-lived state government of Perak where DAP was the Pakatan party with the most number of DUN seats, the post of Menteri Besar was nonetheless given to PAS, the Pakatan party with the fewest seats. But how much power do you think MB Nizar Jamaluddin had in reality versus how much influence the DAP evangelista warlord cousins wielded behind the scenes?
ABOVE: Mat Sabu may be the PAN president but Guan Eng’s hold on him sure is creepy
DAP’s substance over the Pakatan Harapan form
Likewise the case of Muslim vs Christian power brokers in Pakatan at federal level. There is always the frontman, and then there’s the backseat driver.
Just like DAP did not ‘physically’ hold the post of Perak menteri besar in 2008, neither will DAP anytime in the near future openly declare a ‘Christian state’ aspiration. Expect the sneaky bastards to possess a bit more cunning and acting more realistically befitting our Muslim-majority political context.
Only Mat Sabu can be dumb enough to think the general public is actually dumb enough to buy his strawman argument. In fact, Mat Sabu has been spinning the same silly straw since years ago (see tweet below), and like a well-trained minion, he has not changed his tune.
How then will the DAP bring about its much vaunted ‘Change’?
Give the DAP some credit, please. The evangelical party will – for the time being – continue doing what they’re already doing, i.e. promoting secularism, liberalism and religious pluralism which together have the cumulative effect of eroding the formal status of Islam in Malaysia.
This assessment by PAS Youth chief Muhammad Khalil Abdul Hadi is certainly on the ball, who warned last month that “DAP is shadowed by the Christian evangelist agenda”.
A choir performance at the Selangor state Christmas celebration
For a feel of the DAP’s subtle achievement, look at what they have successfully introduced into our system of social governance. They have normalized the overt presence of evangelical Christians in the corridors of power and other high profile roles.
While I’m not sure about the official Christmas celebration since Azmin Ali took over as Selangor MB, but under the admin of the previous Pakatan MB – see YAB Khalid Ibrahim above – a grand Christmas was officially celebrated at state level.
If I were a Muslim voter, I’d be able to easily see through Mat Sabu’s simplistic ploy of exaggerating the DAP’s so-called ‘Chrsitian state’ ambition. Instead what would truly worry me is the infiltration by the DAP evangelistas into the Malay’s masjid and surau, and into Muslim forums and discussions.

Hannah Yeoh, Malays and the Kingdom of God
Serdang Christian MP Ong Kian Ming is the DAP election strategist. And ‘Doctor Ong’ has analysed that “a large proportion” of the support PAS received in Selangor the last election had come from Chinese and Indian voters. In fact, Chinese support for PAS was phenomenal − reaching as high as 95 percent in several constituencies.
This means that nine out of 10 Chinese voted opposition. Mind you, we’re talking those Chinese residing in PAS’s winning seats in the semi-rural areas. In urban areas, Chinese support for DAP some more no need to say lah. Crazy! (more…)
Muar laundry: J-Star and the concept of separation of powers
The J-Star and its fellow travellers are loudly applauding the Johor sultan for His Royal Highness’ prompt intervention and instruction to the state exco on matters of legislation (or council guidelines) pertaining to religious discrimination, and specifically with regard to the case of a ‘Muslims Only’ laundromat in Muar.
J–Star readers heaped praise on the sultan who was reported this morning by the paper’s CEO Wong Chun Wai as saying:
“From now on, I am directing the state executive council and all the councils to insist that any business owners who carry out such blatant discriminatory practices should have their licences revoked. Don’t mess around with your narrow-minded religious prejudices.” (more…)
Christian DAP’s vely headless chicken mutant soup
DAP’s P.Ramasamy, who is also the Indian ethnic-quota Penang Chief Minister (II), asks today if there is a Muslim-only “apartheid policy creeping in” following news of a religiously self-segregated laundry in Muar that bars non-Muslim customers.
Then there is DAP’s Zaid Ibrahim who hopes to become an MP again in the coming election.
Yesterday Zaid slammed the aforementioned Muslim-only laundry as well as the current Muslim objections to a beer festival, increasing Muslim animus against gays and liberals, and the ever stricter Islam-mandated tutup aurat as among preoccupations that are not beneficial to our Muslim intelligentsia.

Evangelical Christian Wong Chun Wai vely susah to live in Muslim M’sia wor
In his newspaper column today titled ‘Moderation, the way to go‘, Wong Chun Wai takes a contemptuous swipe at “Islamist” PAS and “morally-questionable” Kelantan.
Chun Wai’s argumentative premise is articulated in the standfirst to his article, which reads: “PAS, or any other group, should not be allowed to use religion to challenge Malaysia’s social climate and political system”. (more…)
