Bloopers

Oops! Berita Harian did it again!

They translated the word 'Consultative' from the NGO's name into 'Perundangan' in Malay. How surprising! The only Malay word I know which gives a meaning for 'consultative' in English is 'perundingan.'

Plus, is there any belief out there called Toa? The Taoists must feel insulted!

Now, I know why my dad didn't want to read the newspaper anymore.

Similar but slightly different situation happened to me. Some Malaysian students from Al-Manṣūrah blamed me for being insolent just because I used phrase 'pet name' instead of 'nickname.' They accused me for referring them as 'animals' and demanded me an apology. What the hell? Instead of looking up in dictionary what 'pet name' means, they instantly 'assaulted' me and called me an insensitive person. Wow, seems that some people just know how to mark their territories and go against me. But, all they do is acting like smart asses without realizing that they're just some faction of morons.

Thus, proving my point that those Al-Manṣūrah group of medical students really are incompetent in English and only know how to say to lecturers, "can you explain in English?" I bet they don't even know what that means.

Medico-Legal

People love to sue physicians’ asses. Physicians suck that they can never meet the patients’ requirement.

Well, from my point of view, both parties are at fault.

First, doctors, when they’re still undergrads, they didn’t respect much the profession. They didn’t give a damn thing about studies and all they care was taking pictures with cadaver or ‘playing doctors’ with patients before upload it into facebook and tell the world how cool it was. But, they didn’t realize that it was a breach of ethics and physician-patient confidentiality. Even cadavers deserve to be treated with respect and dignity; not to be taken picture of it with finger ‘peace’ gesture. Consequently, some lousy group of doctors, err I mean quacks is born.

Second, patients, if their doctors made a little mistake, it was a worldly crisis. They hurriedly call their lawyers to make a living hell for such physicians. But, hey, here’s a thought. Have you ever wonder that there are many doctors out there who accidentally contracted hospital-borne diseases (we often referred it as nosocomial infection) such as MRSA, AIDS, TB, Hep B, C, any letter you name it, from their patients during the treatment and they didn’t even summon their patients to justice ?

Wow.

So people, please, act fairly and be fair. 

Oh wait, what did I just said? 

This life is never fair.

Future of Islam in Malaysia

I stumbled upon verse 54 from Surah al-Mā’idāh, when I read Quran and the translation goes as below:
"O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islām), Allāh will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allāh, and never afraid of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allāh which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allāh is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower."

I wonder, what’s gonna happen to Islam in Malaysia?

Hey, here’s a thought. I think, since Islam is taken for granted by Malay, maybe Allāh (gotta use a lot of this word, now) will bash His divine retribution upon them and let the matters of Islam be handled by Chinese Muslims instead.

Kelantan Government is now planning to amend it’s constitution to allow non-Malay to be a Chief Minister. Is this a sign from Allāh?

Nowadays, a lot of young Chinese converted to Islam in Malaysia while at the same time, a lot of good-for-nothing Malay youngsters are trying to get out of Islam. I have many Muslim Chinese peers to prove the former.

Many Muslim Malays take prayers for granted while at the same time many Chinese are trying to study and practice ‘solat’ voluntarily.

Malays don't give a damn about Islam. They just use it whenever possible to serve their own political agenda; mainly Malay supremacy. How pathetic. Let me tell you, Islam is no longer synonym with Malay. Malay doesn't own it; not even Arab, nor Chinese. Nobody.

It is not something impossible that Islamic affairs will be much better under Muslim Chinese supervision. Who knows? They’re rich, well-known for their business skills, diligent, more disciplined compared to Malay, hardworking and ‘kiasu’ (Hokkien word means afraid of losing).

Islam is not something unheard among Chinese. They discovered Islam centuries before the religion reached The Golden Chersonese. They call Islam 'Huijiao,' (回教) means 'the religion of Hui people. Chinese people from this ethnicity is known for practising Islam even though they're culturally similar to Han people.

Nah, this is just an idle thinking.
