  • Zainal Sapari Reached Out To Lee Siblings Through Pantun, Tells Them Blood Thicker Than Water, Family More Important Than Money

    Zainal Sapari Reached Out To Lee Siblings Through Pantun, Tells Them Blood Thicker Than Water, Family More Important Than Money

    As the debate continued into its second day in Parliament, PAP MP Zainal Sapari, a former teacher, used a very Malay way to impart some valuable advice to the Lee siblings.

    In the pantun, Zainal Sapari reminded them that your worldly possessions cannot be taken with you when you pass away. It was not worth risking family ties because of the riches.

    Wang hilang boleh diganti
    Harta ada tak dibawa mati
    Jangan kesal kemudian hari
    Bila ikatan keluarga tidak ada lagi

    Ibubapa hidup berdamai
    Banyak berkorban setiap hari
    Adik beradik jangan bercerai
    Biar kasih sayang bersimpul mati

    #38OxleyRoad

    Very the Malay but very the spot on. Blood is thicker than water, your family is more important than your money.

  • [Malaysia] Polytechnic Stallholder In Penang Allegedly Told To Convert To Islam If He Wanted To Continue With The Stall

    [Malaysia] Polytechnic Stallholder In Penang Allegedly Told To Convert To Islam If He Wanted To Continue With The Stall

    Gopi Krishnan Gopal, who operated a stall in Politeknik Seberang Perai (PSP), Penang, has now claimed that he was told to convert to Islam if he wanted to continue running his business.

    The 45-year-old former engineer claimed that the PSP head of administration, who allegedly told him and his wife, Khor Hong Geik, to convert, has since retired.

    Gopi Krishnan also claimed to have received calls from various quarters, including a government officer from Putrajaya, who told him to “keep things quiet” as there were efforts to get his stall reinstated.

    “I told the officer to raise the issue with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s department and to ask the PM to ensure that all polytechnics in the country have a canteen operator to provide food for non-Muslims, especially vegetarians.

    “We are not asking for a temple to be built in the polytechnic, just a stall to serve non-Muslims, some who are vegetarian due to religious reasons,” he said, adding that he served 1,200 non-Muslims students in PSP.

    Gopi Krishnan (second on left in photo) would be lodging a police report on the matter and is also mulling legal action against the polytechnic.

    Accompanying him at the press conference were Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy and lawyers Paramjit Singh and Shamsher Thind Singh.

    Malaysiakini is in the process of contacting the polytechnic and Deputy Education Minister P Kamalanathan on the latest allegation.

    Previously, Kamalanthan said the canteen operator was terminated from PSP due to “administrative reasons”. The deputy minister denied it had anything to do with racial or religious extremism.

    The polytechnic has also denied allegations of racism, adding that a police report was lodged on June 26 on the contents of messages on the matter that went viral.

    It is learnt that some 300 students have signed a petition, calling on the institution to reinstate the canteen operator, while several quarters have condemned PSP for its handling of a non-Muslim canteen operator.

    Gopi Krishnan had been operating his canteen in PSP since September last year but was told to fold up his business by June 30, which is tomorrow.

    He failed to obtain the permit for his stall despite meeting all the conditions stated in an open tender, which PSP held in May.

    Gopi Krishnan was the only non-Muslim among 12 operators who participated in the open tender.

    He was later told by the same head of administration, who allegedly told him to convert to Islam, that he was unable to fulfil the ISO syariah procedures.

    Ramasamy said the syariah compliance procedure was something new and surprising.

    “Why should a non-Muslim trader be subjected to this law? Are there requirements that in public institutions built with taxpayers’ money, both Muslims and non-Muslims, must practice syariah?

    “Gopi Krishnan is clearly a victim of racial and religious intolerance in public institutions,” he said.

    Ramasamy called on Kamalanathan, who is also MIC education bureau chief, and the entire PSP management, to resign.

    “Jubah Sado” Dah Basi, “Jubah Mermaid” Is In

    Jika tahun lalu kita dikejutkan dengan “Jubah Sado” dan juga “kurta lelaki seperti baju kurung wanita”, tahun ini satu lagi pakaian Hari Raya mungkin menarik perhatian anda!

    Nama jubah terbaru ini ialah “Jubah Ala Duyung”! Ia sedang viral di laman media sosial dan dipakai seorang lelaki yang hanya dikenali sebagai Alif. Jubah Duyung ini bagaimanapun menerima kritikan hebat para netizen.

    Ramai juga yang memberikan komen lucu, seperti: “Alahai, kain dia lagi lentik daripada kain saya!”

    Namun yang memberikan kata-kata kesat juga tidak kurang hebatnya.

    Menyusuli kejadian itu, laporan mStar Online menyatakan Alif memutuskan untuk bersikap mengalah dan menukar enam lagi jubah yang ditempahnya kepada potongan biasa.

    Ini selepas beliau mengambil kira teguran positif dan nasihat anggota keluarga dan juga orang ramai.

    “Tidak sangka jubah yang dipakai semasa raya itu menjadi viral di media sosial sehingga saya dikecam.

    “Ada enam lagi jubah yang dihantar untuk dijahit tetapi belum siap, jadi saya akan minta pereka untuk menukarnya kepada potongan biasa selepas menerima teguran positif dan mengelak saya terus dikecam,” katanya kepada mStar Online.

    KATA-KATA KESAT DILEMPARKAN KEPADA ANGGOTA KELUARGA JUGA

    Selepas gambar “Jubah Ala Duyung” beliau menjadi viral, Alif menerima kecaman netizen yang keterlaluan sehingga mengaitkan keluarganya.

    “Isu jubah ini adalah masalah saya sendiri, tapi ada yang keterlaluan mengatakan saya kurang didikan agama daripada keluarga. Malah, lebih buruk ada yang menyamakan saya dengan haiwan. Bagaimana perasaan keluarga saya?

    “Kalau nak tegur, buatlah secara baik. Jangan sampai mengaitkan keluarga saya dengan kata-kata yang buruk,” kata anak bongsu daripada 10 adik-beradik ini, sebagaimana ditukil mStar.

    Alif juga memberitahu bahawa sejak itu ramai melabelkannya dengan pelbagai gelaran termasuk lelaki lembut dan transgender.

    “Saya akur berperwatakan lembut tetapi saya tidak berpakaian wanita. Saya masih bekerja dan berpakaian seperti lelaki.

    “Saya bukanlah manusia yang sempurna, saya masih lagi memperbaiki diri. Anda semua di luar sana, doakan saya yang baik-baik saja,” jelas beliau lagi dalam laporan mStar Online itu.

  • Gunmen Open Fire On Muslims Outside French Mosque, Eight Injured

    Gunmen Open Fire On Muslims Outside French Mosque, Eight Injured

    Two gunmen injured eight people after opening fire on a group of Muslims outside of a French mosque Sunday.

    The group was exiting the house of worship in the southern French city of Avignon at about 10:30 p.m. when the gunmen, who were reportedly wearing masks, opened fire.

    Two of the eight wounded were hospitalized after the incident, according to the source, who also said that worshipers leaving the mosque had not been the intended target.

    Sources told Reuters the gunmen were trying to settle a score with someone else, and a judicial source told the La Provence regional newspaper that officials are “not at all treating it as terrorist related” and instead suspect it stemmed from a dispute between youths.

    Four people were wounded outside the mosque while a family of four in their apartment about 50 yards away took shrapnel, La Provence said.

    Police arrested a man in the Paris suburb of Creteil last week after he tried to drive car into a crowd in front of a mosque.
