Anwar: There was never a Khalid-Azmin ‘deal’

INTERVIEW Despite much speculation, PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim said that no condition was set by Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim when he agreed to the controversial ‘Kajang Move’.

Pemerkasaan Bahasa Melayu Dalam Agama Kristian

Mengikut catatan sejarah, Bahasa Melayu telah menjadi Lingua Franca iaitu bahasa perantaraan yang digunakan oleh pelbagai bangsa sejak beratus tahun dahulu. Sebelum kedatangan Portugis, Belanda, Inggeris dan Jepun, Bahasa Melayu merupakan bahasa yang digunapakai oleh semua pihak yang menjejakkan kaki ke tanah ini.

Sungguhpun tulisan arab telah digunakan untuk menulis bahasa Melayu, ia tidak mengubah struktur dan penjelasan tentang bahasa tersebut. Sepertimana bahasa Inggeris yang merupakan bahasa dunia, kini bahasa Melayu telah dikembangkan dengan penambahan frasa-frasa atau bait-bait perkataan yang baru. Bahasa Melayu diceduk dan menceduk bahasa lain atas dasar pengembangan. Ini adalah sebab mengapa bahasa Melayu semakin mengembang dan kekal wujud sehingga sekarang.

Adalah tidak adil sekiranya Tanah Malaysia ini tidak memartabatkan bahasa Melayu. Ini kerana bahasa Melayu telah menjadi tali pengikat hubungan antara kaum sesama rakyat Malaysia.

Sungguhpun begitu, terdapat beberapa pihak yang merasakan bahasa Melayu tidak kompetitif dalam praktikaliti meghadap arus globalisasi. Dengan penetasan bahasa-bahasa ketiga yang menjadi popular adalah tidak wajar sekiranya bahasa Melayu dipinggirkan kerana kononya hanya boleh digunakan di Malaysia dan tidak di tempat lain.

Pada hemat kami di CU4M bahasa Melayu adalah satu bentuk bahasa yang berprestij tinggi. Bahasa Melayu telah terbukti mudah dipelajari dan di fahami bukan sahaja oleh orang asing dan orang tempatan yang bukan berbangsa Melayu atau Bumiputera.

Kalimah Allah yang ingin digunakan di dalam Bible Bahasa Melayu juga adalah satu pengiktirafan kepada Bahasa Melayu untuk menjadi bahasa perantara bukan sahaja dari sudut keagamaan tetapi juga di dalam sudut linguistik.

Malah, Datuk A. Samad Said juga menyokong penggunaan Kalimah Allah ini untuk orang bukan Islam kerana ia memartabatkan institusi kesusasteraan Melayu yang ingin diterjemahkan kepada dunia global.

Jika anda sayangkan Bahasa Melayu maka sokonglah Bible atau Injil yang diterjemahkan kedalam bahasa tersebut.

Muslim Killing and Raping Chinese, Indian and Malay!

This post was taken from a Non-Muslim Malay blog: We do not fully agree with its statement against the Malay race. But for the Muslim part.......

Malays misunderstand you. They think you insult Islam. No, you do not Insult Islam. Islam has many races: Chinese, Indians, Malays etc. Malays have many beliefs.  Malays are not Muslims. Malay is a race.   Muslim politicians are insecure with non-Muslim and non-Muslim Malays.
 

Marital Rape, Myth or Reality By Barrington H. Brennen, November 18, 2004

Is it possible for a married man to rape his wife? Yes. As one author states, "Even if a woman has had consensual sex with someone in the past, that person can rape her if he forces her to have sex when she does not want to. Anytime a man has sex with his wife with the use of fear and coercion, it is rape." In The Bahamas, if a couple is legally separated, in the process of seeking legal separation, or divorced, the husband can becharged with marital rape if he sexually forces himself on his estranged wife. However, there is no protection for the thousands of wives or husbands who are not separated or estranged from their spouses and appear to be living in a "normal" relationship, but who in their homes, are being sexually coerced and traumatized.

It seems that when the topic of marital rape is brought up, it causes a passionate flow of religious juices to start, especially among miss-informed Christian men. To support their notion that husbands cannot rape their wives, they quickly refer to Biblical passages such as 1 Corinthians 7:3-5:

Roman Rituals for exorcising Demons.

(This is the Official Rite for expelling demons from people certified as being possessed by authorized Catholic priests.)

RITE OF EXORCISM

The priest delegated by the Ordinary to perform this office should first go to confession or at least elicit an act of contrition, and, if convenient, offer the holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and implore God's help in other fervent prayers. He vests in surplice and purple stole. Having before him the person possessed (who should be bound if there is any danger), he traces the sign of the cross over him, over himself, and the bystanders, and then sprinkles all of them with holy water. After this he kneels and says the Litany of the Saints, exclusive of the prayers which follow it. All present are to make the responses.

Anwar Ibrahim: The True Statesman Of Malaysia.

It is crucial for each and every Malaysian to understand the vision and mission of DSAI. He is not only a symbol of freedom and justice for the Malaysian people, but also a beacon that will show us the true meaning of being a Malaysian.

Ever since his time in UMNO, Anwar Ibrahim was never racist. He is one of the most intellectual leaders that UMNO could ever had, but then again, they kicked him out because he was telling the truth. Corruption was rampant back then as it was today. He tries to save the pro-Malay party because he loves his Malay heritage but at the same time he do not want Malaysia to turn into a divided society. That is also why he loves reading books about other cultures especially the Chinese culture.

Anwar is a true liberal and secular leader that we need here in our country. We must let everyone knows that DSAI's vision is for everyone to have the freedom that we deserve. The freedom to do anything and everything that we want as long as it will not impeach any laws of the land. Anwar Ibrahim also promotes good faith between Christians and Muslim as was stated in many of his public announcement and ceramah.

Even though DSAI is one of the founder of ABIM (Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia) currently a society front of para-military Islamic military jihad organization, Anwar Ibrahim was reluctant in debating Islam Vs Christianity and more keen on discussing the similarity of both of the religion. He tries to change the was of ABIM and UMNO to suite the multicultural scene in Malaysia.

Just imagine if he was not sacked as the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia in 1998. What a glorious nation we have been if Anwar Ibrahim was the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

However, it seems like God has provide us with a solution all along. If Anwar Ibrahim were unable to become the PM of Malaysia, why not become the Menteri Besar of Selangor (the most develop state in Malaysia)?

May Allah grant all of his wishes and protect him from his political enemies.

Replaying the 1998 Script.

Character assasination has been proven effective in political or neo-political movements in Malaysia. This can be seen in many of Malaysian politician history. The fact of the matter is, none of our politician has the guts to stand up when they are being attacked by their enemies.

Anwar Ibrahim is an exception to this particular issue. Ever since his fall from grace in UMNO, and being cast out from the government by Tun Dr Mahathir, Anwar has turned a blind eye over the accusation of homosexuality and corruption that was said to have taken place during his era as the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia.

As a leader of the people, Anwar did not fall down and die like most politician would be after failing to take the top post of the country. The like of Razaleigh Hamzah, Musa Hitam, Ghafar Baba and many others who tried to chellenge Tun Mahathir's verdict was treated as an outcast and regarded as an enemy of not only the administration but also the people of the country. Anwar Ibrahim stood tall against all these accusation and become one of the legendary politician in Malaysian political history.

We know now that his conviction to save Malaysia is much more than being a political leader. Anwar is a smart and talented leader not only for his followers but also for his country.

We know that almost all of the good ideas that Najib has brought fourth comes from Anwar Ibrahim himself. Even the Tun would not have the strength to challenge Anwar Ibrahim.

As a Malaysian we must welcome change. A good change not only for ourselves, but also for future generation to come.

Now UMNO do not have anything to pitch against Anwar Ibrahim. It is clear that Anwar himself is engaging the rakyat not only with a promise, but also with a vision that the Pakatan Rakyat would make a better Malaysia rather than the Barisan Nasional government.
