Yesterday was Malaysia Day. So how was it? Was it just as ordinary as any other day or did you celebrate by flying your Jalur Gemilang proudly? Well, you have your answer. As for me, it’s just another public holiday to be frank, free from university imposed compulsory programmes (well I was ‘diwajibkan’ to join a programme I didn’t want to be a part of, not the first time though).

On Dec 22, 2014, the world was shocked by the warrant of arrest (Red Notice) issued by the Interpol towards a prominent Muslim scholar, Dr Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Al-Qaradawi has been a fierce critic of Egypt’s military government and has also lashed out at Saudi Arabia and the UAE for supporting the regime.
