Adik ipar Blair peluk Islam
LONDON: Adik ipar bekas perdana menteri Britain Tony Blair yang juga penyiar dan wartawan Lauren Booth, 43, mengumumkan beliau memeluk Islam enam minggu lalu selepas mendapat hidayah.
“Ajaibnya, sejak memeluk Islam saya langsung tidak teringin menyentuh arak, sedangkan sebelum ini saya akan minum sekurang-kurangnya dua gelas setiap hari,” katanya yang dipetik akhbar Daily Mail.
“Tiba-tiba saja saya berasa tenang dan gembira. Sejurus tiba di Britain, saya terus mengambil keputusan memeluk Islam,” katanya.
Mengenai kemungkinan untuk memakai burqa atau penutup muka, Lauren tidak menafikan akan berbuat demikian pada masa depan.
“Siapa tahu ke arah mana dan hala tuju mana Islam akan membawa saya seterusnya?” katanya.
Lauren sebelum ini diketahui sebagai seorang yang bersimpati dengan Islam dan menghabiskan banyak masa bertugas di Palestin.
“Saya kagum dengan keteguhan dan keindahan agama ini,” katanya apabila ditanya mengenai Islam. – Agensi

树倒猢狲散 (pinyin: shù dǎo hú sūn sàn)
Literally: When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
Can we still continue to improve with the 87 years old man Mahathir considered as “THE OLDEST LIVING POLITICIAN ON EARTH”?
Another, our head of state, the PM at 85 years old is also the “OLDEST HEAD OF STATE AMONG OECD COUNTRIES AND ON EARTH”
Despite only at 53 years old, Malaysia is feeling very very old.
Due to very old age i.e. at near 90 years old, the old man is blocking and holding up everything.
He is mainly causing uncertainty to the future improvement and development of the people in this country.
Still reluctant to give up his power and position, the future of this country looks BLEAK.
A very weak PM being led by a very old man.
Observe and Judge for yourself…not the past, “OUR FUTURE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT.”
Is this all that ... can manage?
“She said frankly that “check and balances do not belong to the people” under the present system which may lead to possible abuse of power in the future.”
What does she mean by the present system leading to possible abuse of power in the future?
That abuse of power has already taken place in the past, and it continues to take place now.
And for such cowardliness, ... also gets to be proclaimed to be Malaysia’s most famous writer?
Famous for what? For toeing the line so that she gets to keep her job?
Buddha said: “Everything changes, nothing remains without change.”
Never ever trust any politician.
Look at DrM 45 years ago and look at him now, history is peppered with example of people like him, a fix maximun term like what advance first world practice is a good deterrent for despot and dictator but guess who will oppose such a system? I know for sure, North Korea, Myamar, China and of course Singapore, indo and malaysia.
Until I can afford a flat, BN is going down ……

The government always retorts by stating that such voices should be expressed in Parliament and that such individuals should join politics. But democracy does not require one to join politics and speak in Parliament. People should be free to express their views. Of course, a line should be drawn when violence and vindictiveness come into play.

Next time, please read before you comment lah!
The disservice that Mahathir has brought to Malaysia,
a. He is not magnanimous. He pursues, imprisons and bankrupts opponents who disagree with him.
b. He is mean.
c. He is an arrogant academic snob. Being a scholar he looks down on people who are not so
academically gifted.
d. He is unforgiving. Cross him and he remembers it for life. He goes out of his way to persecute people
who disagree with him.
e. He is unrepentant. He never admits to mistakes and believes he is infallible.
f. He is blind. He cannot accept that his son is not prime minister material and that his daughter in law is
not wealth fund manager material.
g. He has a blighted view of human nature. To him everyone and everything can be bought and has a
price tag attached.
h. He is a coward. He talks big but gets others to do the dirty work.
i. He is a hypocrite. He talks against corruption but installs a system of legalized corruption. He talks of
nepotism in neighboring countries but ignores the nepotism that he practices in Singapore.
I can go on but there is the danger that I might in frustration throw the keyboard at the computer screen! Nobody disagrees that he has done a lot for Malaysia. Yes a lot of good and a lot of damage too. Malaysia is in danger of losing its character and soul. Mammon is the new god. We have been politically castrated, blinded and rendered impotent by an egoistic megalomaniac. It might take a long time to get rid of the poison in the system and build a vibrant and engaged civil and political society. Firstly, we must rid ourselves of the DrM is Almighty syndrome. Otherwise, Malaysia is doomed to be another Burma or North Korea.
