Merdeka 曖昧

YAB DPM DS Najib Razak was reported to have said in Langkawi that, “No hugging please, we are Muslims”. He was commenting on the so-called reality show Akademi Fantasia where the students hug each other passionately especially when someone is to be kicked out doesn’t have sufficient votes to stay in the competition.

According to DS Najib, instead of showing “indecent” acts, they should sing decent songs and dress up properly, and by capitalising in such programmes that enjoy skycrapering popularity, government can instil so-called “good values” among the couch potatoes, as government-sponsored pro-Umno shows can never rake in such big bunch of bananas audiences.

AF is a stupid show. Look at their champs since season 1, Vince, Zahid and now Mawi, I could only say, it’s bad getting badder. Compare to Malaysian Idol or Astro Talent Quest, which don’t cash in in audiences’ tears but produce gooder singing talents, AF should just gulung tikar. But that’s story for another day.

Okay, now, it goes back to whether Muslims should follow strictly what’s said in the book more than a millennium ago without judging its relevance with their free will and wisdom awarded by God. Many have spoken up. As usual, you have the liberals vs the hardliners. It’s a matter of whether we are free to believe and think. We should not blame those who can’t think for themselves, should we ?

The catch here being, does Islam only regulate petty stuff such as no drinking, no hugging, wear tudung etc ? Now that since guys would look like Pas mullahs if they too wear tudung, they’ve come out with proposals asking police officers to wear kain lampin sampin instead.

Okay my point here. Didn’t holy Quran say a word on corruption or money politics ? Didn’t it tell us to be fair and just but why are you still suppressing our freedom of expression and freedom of information ? Would you please say, “No corruption please, we are Muslims” ? Or perhaps for all the money you have siphooned to your pocket from the treasury, your hands please, Sir. They should be chopped off, as “We are Muslims”.

Great news for all of you Malaysians, who have been suffering under the glorious collaboration joint venture between the Royal Malaysian Police and the gangsters.

Michael Soosai, who was said to have faked his death then went exile into the sub-continent is one that had extensive dealings with the men and women in blue. Two websites chronicling his adventures, www.michaelsoosai.org and www.msmalaysia.org, have surfaced in June. I was lucky to be one of the earliest readers, as my little bird in KeadilanRakyat.org told me that someone tipped them off in an email.

As expected, the police went against YAB PM DS Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s wish to listen to truth, and instead asked the two hosts, in India and Nepal respectively, to shut the websites down.

On the other hand, the Youth wing of Keadilan have lodged reports with Anti Corruption Agency against the police personnels mentioned in the websites, in order to help Pak Lah clean up the police force.

Now, thanks to Politics 101, he has resurrected part of contents from the websites. It was contributed by a reader who was brilliant enough to save the pages earlier. As wished by YAB DS, we should not let the truth dissappear in the thick hazy air.

Enjoy the introduction story and the resurrected contents of the mysterious website. Bravo Politics 101 !
