Now it is Batik

Distasteful!

Now out of the blue, UNESCO decides to anointed "Batik" as one of the world's heritage and then again it is no ordinary batik but those ugly dull old fashion batik from one ASEAN nation, the one who has been flooding other neighbouring countries with their unruly and ungrateful minions.

Now what? This move is liken of robbing others from their own heritage, if UNESCO wants to proceed with such dumb move then so be it but please provide such specifications in CLEAR and UNAMBIGUOUS letters describing in minute details of what they mean by "Batik" and just 'sweeping' every kind of batik and its process under such word. If not those fools will bark again saying that they have been robbed of their heritage! By fools I refer to those pointed bamboos fools.

Batik is not the sole property and heritage of one nation since we have all kinds of prints and patterns not limited to those dull looking old fashion kind of pattern worn by those in that particular nation. If you are thinking of monopolising batik then you are really thoise greedy bunch of good for nothing scums. Compared to other patterns, your kind of pattern is perhaps only suitable for blind and tasteless people.

The Tourism Ministry is now aggressively looking into 'nationalising' all delicacies and other forms of art in response to those brain damaged scums, though sounds childish but it is appropriate considering the onslaught of our dignity and image. Now, nasi lemak will be ours and ours only like what the Pulau Pinang has done to "Penang" by making it a trademark of the Pulau Pinang state government.

Malaysians who are studying in that foreign country should consider returning back or pursue their dreams elsewhere since they no longer welcome there though sadly they share the same faith and to certain extent culture. It is not worth losing one's life over petty matter like the Pendet dance, which by the way is not even entertaining as much as permissible in Islam for it bares for all to see!

Ungrateful Scums

SO YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER, EH?

Once upon a time in a far, far away land people vent their anger on their neighbours accusing them of stealing their ethnic dance. Later, it is discovered that it never happen since the identity theft is actually committed by others, a private organisation which foolishly and irresponsibly portrays such dance to belong to the neighbours. Interestingly, the private company is stationed in another neighbouring state.

Many views such as a political ploy by interested parties to gain popularity with a view of wresting power or at least clinging to it. Such view may be far fetched but its significance can't simply brushed aside. The tourism advertisement is produced in a neighbouring country which since its separation from its neighbour, has had a bittersweet relationship ranging from trade to politics. At the same time the neighbouring state which claim the theft might also have other hidden agenda since many of their citizens are living freely and perhaps too free in the neighbouring state.

Their citizens are notoriously known for their high and deep involvement in crimes causing their hosts great suffering. Just like parasite, that is they really are.Because of some of their citizens are ill treated they quickly declare a crusade against the host who after all these while have been very generous. They seem to forget or deliberately choose to turn a blind side towards the crimes committed by their own at their host expense and sufferings. A few of those belligerent fools go to the street carrying sharpened bamboo harassing motorists trying to identify and pick out citizens of the neighbouring state. This happens during the holy month of Ramadhan and believe it or not those vigilantes are Muslims themselves!

Nevertheless, to totally blame them is itself unfair since they have genuine issues against their neighbours. Well, not the ethnic dance of course. Meanwhile, such incident might also be sponsored by quarters from the neighbouring nation - power, that might be their intention since the last election has seen the ruling government is besieged from all directions as scandal after scandal begins to unravel itself. Hence, they need diversions to sidetrack the public from the real issue - severe corruption, mismanagement and power abuse. The neighbouring nation also known as Bolehland, for the very first time seen their number one leader being accused of various misconducts.

Being a citizen in Bolehland as the name indicates therefore, such farfetched imagination may not be farfetched after all. Remember, this is the land where everything is possible as long as you are in or the government itself!

Dangers of Logic

Come to think of it, the danger pose by SIS is far greater than what Jemaah Islamiyyah threat since it goes to the core of Islamic teachings. Being educated in non religious matters but trying hard to intrude and imposed their wayward ideas of Islam really makes me shudder, not of excitement but more to fear. While others are trying very hard to 'preserve' pure Islamic thinking and teachings, in line with Quran and hadith, they sadly have their own sick and conspiratory agenda.

Listening to one of their representatives in a talk show on the ruckus caused by JAIP's decision to cane a woman found guilty of drinking liquor in the public. Ironically, the woman in question is more than willing to be punished by caning and she adamantly refuses to appeal but others spearheaded by those wayward SIS, are creating all the unnecessary fuss about such. Their premise is simple, since we are in the modern times therefore it is incumbent upon us to look into Islamic teachings to suit the predominant situation. Necessary my foot!

For a long time and in fact since their establishment, they only manage to create confusion and dissension among Muslims but as one of the speakers said during that very interesting forum, they could be excused for their ignorance. Ignorance in the sense that their judgement and perception are blurred and thus impaired severely by their obsession on logic and modernity.

Indeed, as TG Nik Abdul Aziz said the non Muslims are far better off than those in SIS and the like since the former are not familiar with the true Islamic teachings unlike the latter who claimed to be proficient in Islamic teachings. In fact, the threat pose by those like them has been clearly stated by the Prophet PBUH when he said one of the signs of the End of Days is when people who are not expert are being appointed to look after religious matters just like SIS is doing today though they claim to possess the knowledge.

I am not an expert but I know my limit and thus I am grateful that I firmly believe in both Quran and Sunnah unlike some who prefer their logic only because they claim that both Quran and Sunnah are silent on certain matters. Canning, to them is inhumane and against human rights since it is not provided in the Quran but they seem to have ignored the Sunnah including Hadith of the Prophet as well as earlier opinions who are close to the Prophet himself compared to us and to those wayward thinkers.

Will We Forgive Him?

Will we be able to forgive him?

Tun Abdul Hamid Omar, Tun Salleh Abas' successor as the Lord President died due to stroke this morning. He gains prominence back in 1988 when he accedes to the pressure of the Executive to sack Tun Salleh through a tribunal which many legal experts doubt, at least in terms of its legality since he still at that time a junior to Tun Salleh. This are facts, part of the nation;s history.

He goes down in history as a controversial figure who is hugely responsible to the deterioration of the once respected Judiciary for its independence and track records. From his suspension until his actual sacking, Tun Salleh Abas vehemently uphold his innocence and righteousness. Tun Salleh, despite his unjust dismissal gains prominence for his courage and as the last of independent LP and later CJ. Since then, the judiciary has decline at a very fast rate making it a joke of the nation until the Lingam Gate emerges few years ago. By then, the public perception is vindicated by the Royal Co mission which some worrying irregularities in the conducts of a few top judges and a very senior lawyer.

The late Tun Abdul Hamid will be forever remembered for his vital contribution towards opening the gate for the Executive blatant interference in Judiciary though the government strongly opposed to such claim which they repeatedly say as malicious accusation and allegations. May his soul rest in peace but how about those he has deliberately hurt? Only Allah knows best...

JUDICIARY SHOULD ALWAYS BE FREE AND INDEPENDENT
