'To attack something as precious and sacred as a place of worship is the lowest of blows. The authorities must find and prosecute these individuals as soon as possible - we need to nip this in the bud.'
Daniel Collin Lazaroo: This is terrible news indeed. Were ‘naughty boys' also responsible for this? Either way, the perpetrators of these acts (attacks on places of worship) are irresponsible, disrespectful cowards. To attack something as precious and sacred as a place of worship is the lowest of blows.
I hope the authorities can find and prosecute these individuals as soon as possible - we need to nip this in the bud before a mob mentality takes over, making such an act the 'norm' in our multi-cultural Malaysia.
Avery: If Dr Mahathir Mohamad can come out with such a ludicrous deduction implicating that the Sept 11 could have been staged , what is there to stop local 'would be film producers' or more likely, opportunists, to try their luck as well?
Little do these destructive monkeys realise that such evil deeds are not going to win them an Oscar nor an easy route to eternity. The country must view these actions with seriousness and not take the current situation lightly, expecting the recent unpleasant memories to just fade out with time.
Mangodurian: So much for the inspector-general of police's 'case solved' remark. This is clearly the work of anarchists, bent on creating chaos. So don't assume that it is Christians doing this. In fact, don't even assume any religious faction is behind the church attacks.
Like Mahathir said, ‘If they can make Avatar, they can stage the Sept 11 attacks'. But being Malaysia, we are not so advanced as to do something as big as Sept 11. But this is as ‘best' as our anarchists can do.
Ong Twee Kwan: The whole country and every citizen of Malaysia irrespective of race and religion should come down hard on these deviants that cause damage to places of worship and disrespecting religion. All places of worship of all religions should be respected by one and all.
After 52 years of independence we have not progress very much. In fact, we have segregated further due to our education and government policies. We have no one to blame except ourselves by voting the same selfish people into power again. We reap the seeds we sow...
Sand 'n sex: Exco's PA, 8 others remanded 5 days
Doc: It looks like the new MACC boss is continuing with the same ‘modus operandi' of his predecessor, which is to continue investigating Pakatan Rakyat politicians (especially those in Selangor) and staying loyal to his Umno masters. Same MACC but different boss.
Speaking of corruption, any news of opposition leader and former Selangor menteri besar Mohd Khir Toyo? Gone back to pulling out teeth?
Azambaru: What happened to the Shah Alam Hospital issue ? MACC, please be fair and show us the you are indeed what you promised to us, the rakyat. We are indeed getting impatient with all these rubbish such as the report above, I just cannot wait for next general election.
Karma: Thirty-four people with only RM280,000 involved. Sounds like an uncle telling the kids he caught 34 tilapia worth RM28 at the river at the village the other day. We are still waiting for the rest of the 'more people will be arrested' in the RM12.5 billion PKFZ scandal.
Thiru: First of all, if PKR can squander RM280,000 by just administering at the state level, what guarantee is there that they won't squander more when ruling the country? I don't see any difference from BN - corruption is corruption, no matter whether small or big.
HNL: There is no need to build the 12 new dams which the Sarawak government proposes to build. Sarawak must not embark on such destructive projects. Such projects are only 'ATM machines' for the state's political leaders to make money for themselves.
This will inevitably destroy Sarawakians, our land and environment and pile up billions of ringgit in debts which future generations of Sarawak will have to pay.
We Sarawakians will rise up to stop these dams from being constructed. Look at the 1st Silicon project and the Sarawak International Medical Centre project, both of which the state leaders had launched with hundreds of millions of ringgit spent but now the former has closed shop and the latter redundant and inoperative.
The top political leaders in the state, their families and cronies have pocketed millions of ringgit from these projects but who now pays for these failed projects? It's the Sarawakians.
Zaid fleshes out Guan Eng's idea
Ahmad Iqhbal: Our present education system is out of date and focus. Every education minister on his way to becoming a prime minister, (whether he succeeds at this or not is another matter) will put his racially-slanted 'dhoby mark' on the education system and disappear for his successor to do damage control.
As Pakatan's Zaid Ibrahim said, ‘You have to start from the beginning'. Lay down a consensual foundation as agreed to by all or at least by 80 percent. Name the school as ‘Sekolah Kebangsaan'; ‘kebangsaan' here defined in writing as ‘Malaysian', not Malay, Chinese, Tamil and what-not.
Have the compass pointing to the right direction and we will see the ‘signs' along the way. Deliberate on the curriculum which is progressive in nature and we can reel in the future as a united - truly united - nation. We need to change... drastic change.
