Day +1220 : Another fish head curry from Johore!

I am fine today.

My brother, Richard, brought to me delicious fish head curry from Johore today. He was on a business trip to Johore yesterday, and on his way back this evening, packed the fish head curry for me :-)

This is the third time I enjoyed fish head curry from Johore without being there :-)

I wrote about the first two times on the following blog entries.

Day +360 : Fish head curry from Johore Bahru

Day +575 : Fish head curry from Johore again!

I was not able to enjoy the curry because of GVHD at that time but I thank God that I am able to enjoy the fish head curry today :-) After much practice, I can now even withstand very hot food including nasi lemak.

Day +1219 : Any good judges among the five?

I am fine today.

The highest court of Malaysia – Federal Court – is hearing the MB vs MB case today. The judges that hear the case are Court of Appeal president Alauddin Mohd Sheriff, Chief Judge of Malaya Arifin Zakaria and justices Zulkefli Ahmad Makinuddin, Mohd Ghazali Mohd Yusoff and Abdull Hamid Embong.

The hearing was concluded after a day-long session but the verdict was deferred to another date to be fixed.

What do you think the result would be? I believe the verdict will be in favour of BN as it is extremely difficult to find good judges in a corrupt judiciary system here.

What do you think?

Day +1218 : We paid their salary, they seized our Bibles

I am fine today.

The authority seized 150,000 bibles imported from Indonesia citing the reason that they might be used to convert Muslims because it contains the word “Allah”. This only indicated that those who are involved in the enforcement do no really have any confident on their religion.

Another Malaysia Boleh! I see this as a cancerous act and perhaps only a transplant will be able to strike a cure.

Quote from a news report published today on Malaysiakini :

The Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM) calls for the immediate release of the 15,000 bibles in Bahasa Malaysia known as the Alkitab, recently seized by the authorities.

Bishop Ng Moon Hing, chairman of the CFM, said that the relevant government official should explain their actions to church leaders and the public.

According to a church leader, the government seized the bibles because of the use of the word 'Allah' in the Malay-language bibles (which means God when translated) which was banned here, as this word is to be used exclusively in Islam.

This is because the authorities feel that the use of 'Allah' in Christian publications is likely to confuse Muslims and draw them into Christianity. Therefore, it was banned from Christian literature.

The Home Ministry said today that the words kaaba, baitullah and solat were similarly banned from Christian publications.

In previous reports, Reverend Hermen Shastri (left), general secretary of the Council of Churches of Malaysia said that these words were borrowed from Arabic, among other languages and maintained that the community should be allowed to use them.

Suppression of rights

Since the 1970s, the education policies have been centred on Bahasa Malaysia as the national language, and Malaysians have received their education in Bahasa Malaysia.

Therefore, Bishop Ng said that it is ridiculous and offensive to deny the same Christians in Malaysia the right to read and study the bible in the national language.

"The action of withholding the Malay bibles deprives Christians in Sabah, Sarawak and in Semenanjung, a large majority of whom speak Malay, the right to use the Holy Scriptures to practice, and profess their faith and, to nourish themselves spiritually," Bishop Ng said.

The CFM also called upon the government not to curtail or impose conditions on the freedom of citizens to worship, pray and read the Holy Scriptures in Malay.

Previously, the authorities have seized some 15,000 bibles that were imported from Indonesia; 5,000 in March and the rest in September this year.

Day +1217 : The worst ever president, the best show

I am fine today.

Sin Chew Daily’s commentary today bluntly pronounced the MCA president, OTK, the worst ever president. It doesn’t matter whether you agree about this as the party plagued by power struggle and personal interest has long become irrelevantl.

If this is the case, what do we expect from the party? The wonderful show :-) A show so splendid that even the best Hollywood movie also loses to it. The twist and turn of the show is something always beyond our imagination.

Friend is enemy, enemy is friend. The best friend is enemy and the greatest enemy is the best friend. The power is something that is above all principles, moral and ethics.

Just sit back and relax, and watch the show. Though we don’t need to pay a single cent to enjoy it, the show is shown at the expenses of Chinese community.

So arise and vote them out during the next general election. We don’t need this kind of show anymore though it is wonderful.

Day +1216 : Mother-in-law’s spring rolls for cell group

I am fine today.

My mother-in-law prepared spring rolls for cell group members last Saturday. She made very good spring rolls. Everyone likes the her spring rolls very much.

I wrote about this on my blog Day +1143 : Mother-in-law’s spring roll – the best ever in the world!

I believe she will be rich if she set up a stall to sell spring rolls along the roadside :-)

We finished 40 spring rolls
