What s the “Conversion” rate….?
Thursday, May 31st, 2007well, its in the papers…all around.You surf at Time.com, also got this story….the Lina Joy conversion saga. For a country which lauds its "multi racial"-free religion freedom..
bising-bising la Visit Malaysia 2007….bla bla bla….
then this bombshell.well, not really depending on whether you consider which news is bigger….Paris Hilton jailed as news…? well, its a subjective matter.
But as for me, im just against hypocrisy .
Again, i aint a law student.but i know that Syariah Law doesnt cover non-muslims. Civil law does.so when sensitive issues crops up, and it involves conversion, a non-muslim referred to a syariah court….?
hmm….its like leaving judgment on life or death of a Roman into a Spartan court doesnt it?
well, the thing is, if you dont practice that certain faith, what is it left to hold on to?
my opinion is that Lina Joy should just got "Islam" removed from her IC without hassle.
i was speaking to a co-worker on this topic, and according to her, this is just the tip of the iceberg. more and more will follow suit if it goes Lina Joy’s way.jump ship…?
from the Flying Dutchmen to the Black Pearl…?
or leave ship to Singapore (shouldnt it be Temasik? my Sejarah sucks, but heyyy….bet Chow Yun Fatt dont know wats a "Singa" in that "Singapore"
ok.main story sambung.
What is freedom of religion, when u are bound to one particular faith by birthright? ; and not allowed to change it, even though in clear conscience?
id love to hear yr 2 cents, my Muslim friend regarding this. cuz i find it interesting.
just FYI,
Catholics go through "Confirmation" when we re 15-16….
dats a process of confirming our Catholic-ness.haha.i made dat word up.
cuz when we re baptised, dat was our parents’ (most cases) choosing of our religion. so at 15, we are old enuff to choose….to be or not to be.
plus, you get to choose a second name for yrself! yeah! o ok.skip that.ha.
back to the hassle for out-converts to a diff religion, out of Islam….
Why live in denial,and profess a faith of which you don’t practice its teaching?
and for the authorities that be, why hold on to half hearted soldiers, just for the sake of numbers?
its a widely known secret la.u knw wat i mean.jumping ships. just that Lina Joy dared to defy Davy "loudly" to join Jack Sparrow. cheh.berkias-kias wooo…!
so, ship jumpers, if u wanna join or jump,or anything in between, and wanna avoid the drama and unwanted hassle, do wat masseur Sao Feng (was dat how to spell it?) says…Wel-cum-to Sing-A-Poor.
Another hassle free move is to move out of Malaysia, claim diff citizenship…go to Guam or smtg like that….
errrmm…yeah.
Depressing. I know.
moving on….
Its that season again, where you get to look at Beautiful girls , hot Gucci mamas, Sizzling chicks (ermmm…do i hear "poultry"…?!) . Its Pageant season. Well, call me crazy, cuz i really am, but i dont see the purpose of pageants.let alone, Miss Universe.i dont watch em.-apart from d swimsuit part…ehem! yeah! - shallow mindedness always gets its turn to shine…this is it….Swimsuit session.
Come on girls….pray for world peace…? contribute to just cause…? eradicate poverty in Africa….? Free Paris Hilton…? - Be realistic!
Apart from eye candy, nothing much is into it anyway! Well DOnald Trump owns Miss Universe…so when a Kawaii Miss Nippon wins….do i hear a Jap version of….
Yuu Arr Farryyod….? - Dats Jap style speak for You Are Fired! hint hint! "Minarai"…!
next….
was in the radio on the way to work….and the horror of listening a Canadian singin in Japanese-well, d chorus part at least. Avril Lavigne with dat really-gets-under-my skin-song-which-seems-to-be-translated-into-every language-that-existed-oh-well-at-least-she-tried.
come on miss Lavigne…how come there’s no Malay version of dat song…..?!!!
i get the beat of the song, chorus part la, so here s a suggestion of Malay lyrics, for yr Minah Rempit fans…
"Heyy..Heyy You..You i dnt like yr grlfriend…."…or smtg sounding like that. (you dont need great ideas to give Hollywood singers "great lyrics" anymore..hmmm….) anyways, translated as….:
"Oi..Oi…Lu..Lu…tak suka awek…lu!"- too much bubble gum in this edition already.
better stop.
Anyone driven through the "SMART TUNNEL"…? well i havent, and by golly…wat have i been thinking…? so long have been putting this "activity aside"….
hmmm…do they have speed records already innit…? (notice "record", not "traps")…nyeheheh.
Too many shopping malls.too many. Mid Valley itself, seems that a new wing coming up. Parking until J woo….got lost innit once already.had to park in J14.friggin hell. Just dont start with K…L…M….aiiya.at least put full aircond carparks la….
and Bangsar Village 2….?not worth the hassle of parking spot hunting.unless its worth visiting…*always worth it la..AHA!
next: that complex in front of Lot10.crazy! more the reason to avoid the city centre….
One thing that strikes a cord : an advert where a dude declined everything offered by a salesman in the shopping complex,
only to tell him later he s in the shopping complex is to enjoy the aircond.Spot on dude! Well, on that note,
im off.
The R-34 have left the Pits.
