Homosexuality is unconstitutional, is corruption lawful?

-
According to the minister in the prime minister's department and Umno supreme council member Datuk Nazri Aziz, homosexuality is against Islam. Islam is the religion of the federation. As such, homosexuality is against the constitution. What happened to equality of all and freedom of worship?

So what about gambling and consuming alcohol? Gambling and drinking alcohol are also against Islam, and Islam is the religion of the federation. In this case the Genting Casino is also unconstitutional. Right or not? Yet, why doesn't the BN government ban the casino as well?

Now how about explaining why all the other unIslamic practises are allowed in this country. Don't get us wrong, we don't condone homosexuality, but do please give us a better argument and detailed explanation as your interpretation is very much discriminating.

Although we do not condone homosexuality, but these kind of people are also human beings but just because they are born in such circumstances, it does not mean that they are against the country's constitution. They did not ask to be in such condition in the first place.

They are the citizens of this country too. Instead of condemning them in a very harsh way, the government should come up with some proper and humane kind of mechanism to help this people. You cannot just outlaw and pressure them into the underground. If you opt for such move, more of them would eventually go into underground, thus encouraging widespread of immoral activities in this country.

Now, coming to corruption. Corruption has been very much rampant in this country and the BN government as well. As you can see, many leaders of Umno has been picked up and charged in the court for their various corrupt practices. However, some top Umno guns who are much more corrupted are still out there enjoying their lives, while their junior ones are told to take the blame on their behalf.

Why didn't Datuk Nazri declare corruption is also against Islam as well? Look Islam is the religion of the federation. Therefore, it should also be unconstitutional as well, isn't it so?

Besides, Datuk Nazri's interpretation is also wrong. Islam is the official religion of the federation according to the constitution but it does not mean that Islam is the constitution itself entirely. Datuk Nazri as a lawyer himself had failed to study in detail the constitution and its legal implication to our people, instead making more confusing statements, thus making our people confuse too.

So, get your facts right before you open your mouth!

EC should ask ROS to register Pakatan quickly

The Election Commission (EC) had recently advised the current opposition pact, Pakatan Rakyat comprising PAS, PKR and DAP, to register their coalition so that they could use their logo in the coming general election. EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said the coalition should be registered because the opposition parties were always seen violating regulations of the election campaign, especially on the use of their logo. Datuk Wan Ahmad seems to be overly ignorant and too forgetful on this issue. The EC deputy chairman should ask the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to quickly register the Pakatan instead of calling on Pakatan to register itself. Pakatan Rakyat had earlier send in their formal application to register itself as a coalition of political parties since November 2009 and ROS has yet to register the said entity till today after delaying and creating so many hassles for more than a year. It is not Pakatan who is delaying on its application but it was the ROS who is just...

USM fiasco a shame

-
I read and heard with irritation and felt disgusted with the fiasco committed by the apex status university called Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) which caused untold anguish to the affected students and their parents. If this happened in Japan, the Vice-Chancellor would have done the honourable thing - take full responsibilty and leave, but here in Malaysia, as expected, the blame is shifted here and there, trying to make someone a scapegoat. By the way, would there be any racist or sabotage elements involved? Those who are responsible for this fiasco should be sacked or expelled immediately.

Federal Constitution that Safeguards the Legitimate Rights and Interest of All Malaysians

-

The provisions of the Federal Constitution are very clear. It confirmed the position of the Malay Rulers, Islam as an official religion of the federation and special position of the Malays and the natives in Sabah and Sarawak whilst recalling that those provisions balance those special positions with safeguards to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the other communities in Malaysia which also includes their right to profess and practice their religions freely without being fear of any threats or being harmed by anybody. The legitimate interests of the non-Malays and non-Muslims would include, amongst others: a) Article 153 (9) says that business or trade cannot be solely reserved only for the Malays, b) Article 3 (1) says that the official religion of the federation is Islam BUT other religions are also allowed to be practiced in peace and harmony in any part of the federation. This means, the other communities too have their fundamental legitimate rights and interest here ...
