'We thought the ISA was to counter terrorists. But now the ISA is for ‘reform'. We are baffled at what is being said by the home minister.'
On Tell the politicians: ISA goes or you go!
Mooshie Mooshie: We are baffled at what is being said by the home minister, that the ISA is to reform and not punish.
So, fellow citizens just because you try to tell the government that they are wrong or expose seditious comments by Umno in Penang or counter some false allegation concocted by a certain menteri besar - you will be arrested under ISA to be ‘reformed'.
We thought the ISA was to counter terrorists. But now the ISA is for ‘reform'. Please help, somebody.
On KT by-election: Nomination today
Yih Feng Low: A total of 400 policemen were sent in 2007 to help Johor fight crime.
But 7,000 policemen were sent to ensure BN wins the by-election in Kuala Terengganu.
Tells you exactly where the priorities of the Malaysian government are at.
On Pakatan, don't ignore your responsibilities
Alexander Ho: The political tsunami that swept through our local political scene last March and recently in the Permatang Pauh by-election where the opposition Pakatan Rakyat leader Anwar Ibrahim won convincingly proves that the majority of the Malays are also looking for change and reform.
Despite the opposition coalition's objective of creating a ‘Malaysia for all', abolishing the NEP and giving the non Malays equal rights, it is still getting tremendous support from the Malays judging from these two elections.
A big kudos to the Malays who voted for them. This proves that you are willing to compete evenly, work and grow together as one, don't see the benefits of NEP as only for the Malay community and willing to work harder and not to be spoon-fed by the government.
We, on behalf of the non Malays salute you! Let us strive as one to get rid of our existing race- based political parties. Let us work, think, cooperate and grow as one regardless of colour, religion and race.
On Fighting rages in Gaza City
Pro-Peace: I pity the Palestinian.
Who have to undergo bombing when all Hamas has to do is to stop firing rockets at Israel.
Who have to endure food shortages because money donated is being used to buy weapons.
Who have to fear bombing of their homes because they live next door to Hamas terrorists
Who can no longer worship in the mosques as they have been turned into storage facilities for rockets.
Who have to endure hardships when the Hamas live comparative comfortable lives.
Who have to suffer an invasion by the Israel army while the Hamas leaders go into hiding.
Who are not able to live in peace because of Hamas who fires rockets constantly into Israel towns.
Whose children are not able to have a safe childhood.
I really pity the Palestinians.
On Is raeli army the Mid-East's greatest terror agent
Rahul Mehrotra: Yes, we condemn the ISA, yes we fret the wastage of taxpayers' money, yes we worry about corruption; but ever stop to think to why? Because these issues affect us as Malaysians directly.
Now how the Palestinian and Israeli conflict affects you as a Malaysian, whether Muslim or not, I fail to understand. A vast majority of Malaysians, particularly Muslims, are quick to get angry over the Israel-Palestine issue without even bothering to understand the intricacies of the situation that exists in the Middle East.
I am willing to bet half of them can't even point out where Israel/Palestine is, or explain the history behind the conflict. Yet, the same people will jump at the opportunity to vent their anger over the Issue.
I'm not here to comment on whether Israel is right or whether Palestine is being wronged, that is a whole different topic; but let's just take a step back and look at the writer's comments: ‘And then certain people have the guts to question why Sept 11 occurred in the first place'.
So, are you actually justifying Sept 11? My question to you is, and to any other Malaysian Muslims out there is this: ‘Where were all the protests when Sept 11 happened? Where were all the protests from Malaysian Muslims when multiple incidents of Islamic terrorism occured/ are occuring throughout the world?'
What does it take to come out in the open and condemn all incidents of terrorism or violence? Or is it only the attacks against Muslims that deserve attention? Silence is consent so don't go around expecting sympathy.
