MH17’s bangsa bad luck

On his recent visit to Sarawak, PM Muhyiddin called our biggest state a “region“.

It could be Putrajaya’s tacit concession that the Federation of Malaysia comprises three regions: Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak.

Racially profiling intended victims of attack

“Last night, snipers killed five police officers and wounded seven others at an otherwise peaceful rally protesting recent police shootings.” [In Dallas on July 7.]

Duh. Does anyone else think that the above is the most bizarre introduction ever to a story? It’s presented by The Washington Post, no less.

The RTM tagline is no longer Salam 1Malaysia. It has changed to Salam sehati sejiwa, orangkampung informs us @ 2015/07/29 at 1:26 pm.

Forget Malaysian First. Our PM is Bugis. The DPM is orang Jawa.

Come on Keng Liang, engage Isma

Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM) engaged the police and from that engagement, the Muslim consumers NGO released the statement below which is a fair and illuminating account of what transpired at Low Yat. So something positive and constructive had come out of the engagement.

Do you trust Najib to defend Islam?

Alvin Tan made the following remark about his Bak Kut Teh stunt:

“My satirical attempts at ridiculing Muslims is an expression of my political disapproval of Muslims and Islam.”

(see TMI e-mail interview)

If like this how to live in a Malay-majority Muslim country?

No one in mind. Indians do not need a charismatic leader, just a reversal of the marginalisation policies in place.

Dear Conrad,

If there is a slant in the definition of the disenfranchised or marginalised, then fix the slant,

Hindraf Q & A

Soalan 1: Menang 2-3 hari di jalanan cuma mengundang solusi melepas batuk di tangga sahaja. Saudara mahu orang Melayu [misalnya saya seorang individu Melayu yang tak ada jawatan dalam parti politik mana sekali pun] melihat Hindraf ini sebagai apa?

Ganesan: Thank you for this interesting question.

RPK akhirnya mengaku

“I have read many comments posted in Malaysia Today by readers who say that the Chinese do not need the Malays. In fact, I have deleted scores* of such comments because they only serve to rub the Malays the wrong way and does not help Pakatan Rakyat’s cause one bit.” — kata Raja Petra Kamarudin dalam rencananya bertajuk ‘Like a trapped animal (part 4)’

Don’t make a martyr out of teenager who stepped on PM’s photo

She is comel – 很 可 愛 – rather like a soft toy. Thus we see why Ong Sing Yee (Ong Xin Yi) has been speedily adopted as a mascot suitably representative of the DAP new vote bank — the young Chinese.

Not everything is an attack on Malays

Shahrizat Abdul Jalil has so far gotten off very lightly.

“And even this event [departure of Shahrizat from the cabinet] is not an act on the part of anybody; Shahrizat was not sacked, nor did she resign, her status as minister merely becomes legally void when her term as a senator comes to an end on April 8, as under our constitution only a member of parliament or a senator can become a minister.” — Kim Quek, political commentator & author

UPDATE 3: Sample of Malaysiakini readers’ call for boycott of Kentucky Fight Club and this is surely replicated in Facebook, chat forums and elsewhere. So who says a discussion here of the episode is making a mountain out of a molehill?

Race Relations Act not a good idea

The Sedition Act dates back to 19 July 1948. It was amended (expanded and modified) in 1969 after May 13.

Generally the public is aware that the act preempts people from talking bad about the government

PPSMI: Lepas ini kita ajar Perdagangan dalam bahasa Cina ya

Pada 2010, Zhongguo (China) mengalahkan Jepun untuk menduduki tempat kedua di dunia mengikut ukuran saiz ekonomi negara. Berdasarkan harga pasaran semasa, ekonomi nombor satu dunia setakat ini masih Amerika Syarikat.

Namun The Economist dalam lidah pengarangnya bertajuk ‘Becoming number one‘ (24 Sept 2011) menjangka Zhongguo akan berjaya mengatasi prestasi AS menjelang 2016 memandangkan tahap ekonomi tanah besar Cina sekarangpun menjangkau AS.

Apa kurangnya BM?

Setiap pohon dan pelepah, setiap unggas dan setiap mergastua di bumi yang dipijak kita ini ada namanya dalam bahasa tempatan.

Balu, anak-anak yatim dan cerita parang

Kalian mungkin masih ingat lagi cerita sebilah parang kononnya ditemui polis dalam kereta yang dibawa remaja Aminulrasyid Amzah berusia 14 tahun.

Aminulrasyid ditembak mati polis.

P. Kathir Oli mati ditembak polis pada Sept 15 lepas. Mendiang didakwa telah menggunakan parang untuk menyerang seorang anggota polis. (Baca butir-butir kes di sini.)

Muslim di AS: Kelas pertengahan dan arus perdana

Fakta menarik: Dua pertiga daripada orang keturunan Arab yang bermastautin di Amerika Syarikat adalah Kristian. Akan tetapi ramai pula (mungkin sebanyak satu perlima sehingga satu pertiga) orang berkulit hitam Amerika, yakni keturunan Afrika ataupun Negro, dianggarkan Muslim.
