Being a Woman

Bet all of you have been reading the news sensation on the caning of the 3 women. Hmm, and the ladies after the caning apparently repented! Come-come you think truly they repented with the strokes that they didn’t even feel? Like what Marina Mahathir said in her blog, it was like going to a spa! and coming out new!

Sadly the caning will not be a lesson learnt. Much to our dismay, the religious ‘police’ will only attack their women kind. Sad isn’t it? We have moved to the 21st century and yet we need someone like the religious police to teach moral lessons!

In Europe you see many faces of humankind and believe me no religious police here can teach them moral lessons. It’s your right to choose your life the way you want it. You sleep on the bed that you make. If you chose wrong, you live with the consequence. Maybe it bad or good, that’s how the Western/Europeans have been living.

Now back in Malaysia, the Muslim women have been ‘suppressed’ to accept their fate. As long as you are born a Muslim woman in Malaysia (and Arabic countries) you are subjected to the syariah ruling and if you step out of line, you get towed and towed badly!

Maybe I lack the knowledge of Muslim (women) rights (don’t blame me as every time we seek to understand, the pro-Muslims don’t wish to help us understand) but I feel sad that why a woman must be treated in such ways? What about the men? Are they not guilty too? I believe I have posted one article on the rape of an Arabic Woman long time back. She didn’t ask to be raped but she was the victim of this one-sided syariah law.

Double standard practices are also noticeable as mentioned in another blogger’s site under (jelas.info) Nathaniel – Will we cane the Muslim who had illicit sex with a Mongolian? So how come this fella escaped caning ah? Is he not Muslim? Did he not do any wrong?

As long as there are people who misinterpret the rules of Islam, there will be the obvious abuse of the human-kind and the scapegoat normally being the women, as long as they are under mind. We may have moved into the 21st century but for the Muslim women, they are stuck in the centuries back.

Sign Up for VOTING!

So have you registered to Vote? Have you??????!!!***#####$$$?????!!!!!

Instead of being upset and angry with the current situations, maybe you should get your bums up from that lazy chair and go register yourself for the polls. (In any country basically; more so if you are Malaysian).

I have, and I am proud to say I have exercised my right from the time I became 'of age' to vote.

So now when you register, do so earlier before the polls dates are out. If you leave it too late, you may not be able to exercise your votes. You know la, they (govt/SPR) will find all excuses not to update your record.

Recent events in Malaysia have got the younger generation thinking and working their brains. So go on, do the rightful thing and go register to vote! That's the safest way to be heard and not this demo and silent marches, candle vigilant etc.

Every time you think you want to organize a March or something, the police will be there to nab you, fire tear gas at you and hey you will have one addition police record in your file. Don't give them that chance.

When you cast your vote.....be smart and vote right. Think and vote.

Okay la enuff of me advising you. I am sure you know what to do NOW.

Where to go? GO to your nearest POST OFFICE...easiest to do.

Go check your name, IC number, your area..and who represents your area, for those have registered and NOT VOTED!!!

Okay, okay...I am off to check if my family and friends have registered!!

Ciaoooo

What's the Price for Peace?

Of late, many of us have been bombarded with questions, "Is Malaysia peaceful? Is Malaysia truly 1Malaysia? Hey, where's the unity in Malaysia?"

Many of these questions came from my foreign friends whom have read and seen the recent situation in Malaysia on TV news/papers. Now what am I to say? There I was, during my stay overseas, promoting my country and her beauty, her FOOD...(yea its mostly that also!) and mostly her friendly-natured people. HA! Like a slap, some of these people sneered remarks on the recent issue.

Now, as defense I said only ONE thing, Not all Five fingers are same, so in this incident, Not all Muslims are like that. I gave them the proverb, One rotten apple in the basket -business;

Enough said on this issue, so I ask you, whats the price one pays for PEACE? Can we have peace you think? PEACE ....is like a calm effect after a storm. Now Malaysia needs the PEACE to rebuilt its tarnished image. I read Malaysiakini and all its related articles and one article came to my attention. The opinion column "Let them win here, drop the Allah claim"

Yes that's PEACE, to be tolerant is to be able to compromise. Are we Malaysians ready to compromise? (Hmmm, maybe I should do a survey and find out!) So are we? Well I know I am ready. Ready to compromise for the sake of a peaceful environment, for the sake of the economic stability and more so for the sake of mental peace and not worried when we step out of our door, whats going to happen!

You won't believe it but during me recent trip to London I was actually uncomfortable in the Underground due to its attacks/bombing, I was waiting to get out of there and in the open area. Do we want that? I think not.

If both parties are head strong and stubborn in this case of the use of the word "Allah" we will soon be headed that way. Claims can be verified and dated but your faith cannot be shaken or misconstrued if the 'word' is wrongly text /context!

If the so-called Muslims (not all but a handful of rotten apples) are so adamant to lay claim for the said word, why not just give it to them? Are you going to loose your faith or become a weaker one as you are willing to let-go, to compromise, to be the better one?

This is my opinion.

The word.....holds no significant if you don't believe and have faith! ITS JUST A WORD!

Happy 2010!!

Hello all out there!

Happy New Year, happy 2010 to all of you.

So what is 2010 going to be for all of us?

Hopefully it will be a better year for the economy, for the poor, for our health!!, wholesomely better for our LIFE!

For us Malaysians, we hope that we have a better government, a better system, for the current government to realize that we the rakyat are not stupid and dumb (as they keep thinking all these years we are!).

Ahem, I wonder if that wishes are too much to ask for?

Whatever, here's to 2010....hopefully you hold a better life for us all...... ;)

A country called MALAYSIA

What’s new in this crazy country called Malaysia?

 The Mentri Besar (MB) (State Minister) from N. Sembilan had managed somehow to transfer RM10mil without any hassle and knowledge of Bank Negara (the central bank in Malaysia) to London. The MB is lip-stitched on any comments so far.
 BTN (Biro TataNegara – The national civics bureau) have been exposed of their promotion of disunity they propagate in their courses. The Deputy Prime Minister is in full denial.
 The Prime Minister is MUM about his involvement of the unnameable Alt as he was challenged by the opposition to come clean with it (even after he swore on his holy book that he doesn’t know such a person)
 The former PM, Tun Mahathir is speechless (for this moment) about the book that exposed his ‘administration’ of Malaysia during his tenure.
 People in Malaysia and her rakyat who resides overseas are all eyes on the matters that discredit the political situation in that country.
 What is 1Malaysia? Till to-date this is a question we (the rakyat of non BN propaganda) are asking as it only discord the unity of Malaysia and its citizens.

So what do you think about Malaysia?

For me, I think Malaysia is a beautiful country with mixed races and religion. Its administration starting from the top needs to be fired (layman’s term kicked out). However if we kick them out, can the next party who rule, rule her in fair and just manner? Now that is my question and I am still in doubt. No one, not even BN (the current ruling monopoly party) can stand up and match up to her beauty. In hands of these people she is turning uglier by the day!

How my heart cries for her, my beloved country!

What's the Worth of a Woman's Life?

How does one value their life? What’s the tag in your life?

Malaysiakini (and I am sure the other papers in Malaysia) were running the story of 'Seetha' the lady who committed suicide by drinking paraquat. She not only drank it but she also felt compelled to feed the same poison to her children. She succumbed to the poison on 18th November 2009.

What drove her to do this? Was she so dire in desperation for money for food, for a home to stay? No neither she was devastated that her younger brother died in a police shoot out (he was a gangster with a famous gang in Klang/Shah Alam). Where was her devastation when her brother had done cruel things to people during his gang raid days? Why hadn't she consoled her brother to go the right way (that’s if she knew what he was up to)?

What valued had she for her life and of her children's lives? They were so small and they couldn't go against what she asked them to do. All four of their ages are ranging from 9 to 3 years old. Now they will live a life of motherless, scorned by their relatives and the outcome could be good or bad (depending very much on the situation they will have to face).


I cannot begin to imagine what was in her mind when she was pouring poison for them to drink? Would you, could you? I suppose if you are in so heavy a depression you do things you are not aware of but to take one's life is so a courages thing. No coward does that! Sorry she is not a hero in my eye for what she did. (Forget the circumstances of why she did it!)


Anyway she is gone and lives moves on. The children will have to face the battle of their lives. My heart goes out for them though. Why did GOD give the right to a woman to bear the child and carry it 9 months? He could have easily given it to the Man no? He made women the tougher of the 2 humankind.
The value of her life? NIL - None because according to the papers, she couldn't bare to live her life without her brother. That’s what the parents said (it seems) and so there you go..that’s what she thought of her life. So her husband, her family and the rest...was NOTHING! Imagine that.

Then I got this email with the below article from a friend of mine. He forwarded this email, (timing apt!) as it’s about the plight of Muslim women in the European country for the Syariah Court ruling. Read on..(this the excerpt)


Joys of Muslim Women by Nonie Darwish

In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child. Consummating the marriage by 9.

The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.

Even though a woman is abused she cannot obtain a divorce.

To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.

Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her
(an honour killing) to restore the honour of the family. Husbands can beat their wives 'at will' and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.


The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.

The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.

In the West World ( America, UK, Australia, Canada etc.) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife cannot obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending Western Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law.

By passing this on, enlightened Western women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah Law.

Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two.

But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.
In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping sharia law - what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.

For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on the world.

Now what the worth of their lives? I don't have any religious contentions here but only for the life of womankind. (Please don't read it wrong)

As for me I love my life and I thank god everyday he has given me and for his blessing on it too. Good or bad, I have learnt to embrace it and move on. My prayer today that GOD gives the strength to the women kind (humankind) to be strong and face what the future has for US (good or bad).

Have a lovely weekend!

Berlusconi.....

I read an interesting article of the man I have come to imagine as a 'she-devil'.

When you are in Italy and when you switch on the TV, you see nothing but half-naked women squeezed into tight-fitted clothes (or some barely) and contest shows throwing money like no business. The man behind these channels is none other than the 'she-devil'. I wondered how this man became so famous to be in politics. They say politics is synonymous to dirty money, women, power crazed shameless devils. Well looks like almost all the traits that the 'she devil' has.

One part awed and one part disgust overwhelms me whenever I see this man on tv. Well to add more fuel I came a cross this article in The Malaysian Insider provided by The Guardian today.

Read about the man himself here http://www2.themalaysianinsider.com/lite/articles.php?id=42012

Next time you visit Rome, don't forget to go by Piazza Venezia to check out the scenario. I sure am going to!!!

By the way, this show 'Il Grande Fratello'....... is truly a HIT with Italians.

Mamma mia cosa succeso ITALIA!!!
