Apostasy

What I'm about to post can or may be uncomfortable for some but this was aired recently on Al-Jazeera on Astro. Some of you may have heard or watched it yourselves and hence, may have a thing or two to say. 

I personally found this coverage to be a good one and one that should be watched by fellow Malaysians. I do not in any way hate Muslims or the religion but it is sadly a shame that Malaysia is moving far from a desired democratic country. 

Islam here in Malaysia is often used as a means of political gains and not so much as to the values of the religion itself. I feel that the tender teachings of Islam has been in turned used as wheels in our country's political vehicle. 

50 years of independence indeed.


To comment on what I've watched via youtube, it is utterly inhumane to separate a young child from her parents simply because of "religion". It's stupid and cruel. 

Watch it and you be the judge.

I'm Very Crever

The day started out alright. My sleep pattern seems to be returning to 'normal'. I use the apostrophes cos I don't think sleeping by 3AM is normal for most :p

Just got back from gym not too long ago just when it started to rain. Our weather's seriously messed up (I'd like to use kind words when referring to it. Don't want to kena sambar petir one day).

Just yesterday I was talking to Tiny about Michael Backman's column on Malaysia and he posed me a rather interesting question - "If channeling our funds to infrastructures could be done away with, which avenue should the money go to?"

My first answer was education and I continued to suggest that perhaps our medical research projects. The reason for this is that our funds could be used to benefit Malaysians across the board and funding medical researches could mean locally produced vaccines and/or other medicines rather than outsourcing such projects that would incur heavy costs.

Of course, I said these things out of sheer opinion and point of view. Then, when I was browsing thru The Star Online last night, here's what caught my attention - 'Need To Make Our Own Vaccines' (The Star Online, 13 June 2007)

So yes, I'm very crever. Haha!

Who knows, maybe I'll write a thesis on Malaysia and its policies for my Masters or Doctorate one day *wishful thinking*
