"Sesungguhnya telah datang seorang Rasul kepada kamu dari golongan kamu, dia merasa berat akan penderitaanmu, penuh keinginannya terhadap kamu, penyantun dan penyayang terhadap orang-orang yang beriman."
( سورة التوبة , At-Taubah, Chapter #9, Verse #128)
"Now hath come unto you an messenger fromamongst yourselves: it grieves him that ye should perish: ardently anxious is he over you: to the Believers is he most kind and merciful."
Nothing shows up false without the true: the fool took false coin hoping it might be gold. If there were no genuine coin in the world, how would it be possible to pass fakes? Unless there is truth, how could there be lies?
Falsity gets its value from the existence of truth. Some want the wrong in hope that it will be right.
(Mathnawi II:2928-2931Version by Camille and Kabir Helminski "Rumi: Daylight", Threshold Books, 1994)
Everyone who says that he/she is a Malaysian citizen, has no excuse whatsoever, not to be fluent in Bahasa Kebangsaan (the National Language), that is Bahasa Melayu. Malaysians will use Bahasa Melayu when interacting with fellow Malaysians. Not only that, every Malaysian citizen must uphold the National Language in accordance to the provisions of the Constitution. Public displays, signage, bill boards, every official and commercial businesses and correspondences, functions etc within this country must use Bahasa Melayu.
A ruling of a court-case states:-
"The supremacy of Bahasa Malaysia or the Malay language in our courts cannot be denied. Article 152 of the Federal Constitution, read together with section 8 of the National Language Act provide that all proceedings, other than the giving of evidence by a witness, in the Federal Court, Court of Appeal, High Court and subordinate court shall be in the national language." (Source : Lawyer Kampung)
Alright, some of the Malaysians will lament .."Oh! what will happen to our mother tongue. You want to kill our beloved mother tongue..?!!"
Relax bro! We want you to become Malaysians, not kill your mother tongue. Let's hear what Prof. Khoo Kay Kim has to say about this:-
English is the second language, here in Malaysia. I would like to say also that it is a "must" for every Malaysian citizen to sufficiently be fluent in English. This second language shall be used when interacting with non-Malaysians as we do not expect non-Malaysians to be well versed or understand Bahasa Melayu (even though many non-Malaysians do really have impeccable command of Bahasa Melayu)
Let us now have some ideas, how important the English Language to us, in our daily lives.

Here's a joke (unknown author) I've just received. I edited the name of the country (a muslim country) originally written by the author and replaced it with "Mid-easterner".
A man is taking a walk in Central park in New York .
Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog.
He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life.
A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says: "You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers: "Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl".
The man says: "But I am not a New Yorker!"
Oh then it will say in newspapers in the morning:
"Brave American saves life of little girl" the policeman answers.
"But I am not an American!" - says the man. Oh, what are you then?"
The man says: "I am a Mid-Easterneri!"
The next day the newspapers say: "A Terrorist kills innocent American dog".
Below is the original posting.
I remember receiving an email long time ago which I tried to dig out from my email vault, but I could not find it. It was written something like this:-
- A muslim girl with a headscarf is a religious extremist whereas a christian girl with a head scarf is a nun.
- The suicide bomber was Ali, an Islamic terrorist, whereas, the building was bombed by a terrorist named John..
Nevertheless, the following was received recently:-
Killers - The way they reported it (if it was Muslim)
Muslim killed daughter for the "dishonour" of having boyfriend
Muslim husband who killed his wife and children because of their western ways
Devote Muslim father kills daughter
Killers - The way they reported it (if it was non-Muslim)
Fathers who kill their children
Father arrested for killing 13-month old daughter
Father killed his sons to make his wife suffer
Man killed wife, two young children
Man who allegedly killed his wife at YMCA was under court restraint.
Iowa man killed wife, 4 kids, then self.
Incest Crime (if it was Muslim)
A Muslim who married his 15-year old daughter.....
Incest Crime (if it was non-Muslim)
John Earnest Deaves and his daughter, Jennifer Anne Deaves
are at the center of incest scandal.....
A south Australian woman who has an infant daughter
after having sex with her father gave birth to another...
Now let us look at terrorists (if it was Muslim)
How many Americans have been killed by Islamic terrorists since 1960?
Muslim terrorists killed in China raid
And the terrorists (if it was non-Muslim)
US university shooting kills 33
6 shot dead, including gunman, at Northern Illinois University
The Muslim suicide bombers
Islamic suicide bombers attacks Jerusalem bus
Muslim bomber found guilty of worst attack on India's day of terror
Suicide bomber (if it was non-Muslim)
Suicide bomber kills President of Sri Lanka
Suicide bomber kills official and 13 others at Sri Lanka race
Bomber kills police officers in Sri Lanka
Let us look at some statistics of Suicide Terrorism in Lebanon
and Religious Suicide Attackers versus Secular Suicide Attackers (between what was "known" and what was "estimated")
And who are the "Terrorists" again ? (credits to the unknown/untraced photographers)
And a bit more statistics....
And lastly, closer to home reporting....
They have to resort to these very biased, dirty tactics when describing Muslim or Islam? What does it take to continuously smear Muslim / Islam names in the eyes of the world?
What can you tell then about the "inner strength or faith" of a muslim when they have to resort to such seemingly desperate smearing tactics?
