to tell you the truth, i am so ashamed to be admitted to be a malaysian now. my friends have been discussing about this issue in the office and everywhere and everyone thinks that there are something going on behind the scene. there might be a hidden message of all the things that have happened lately. but it's not a good idea to share my view here as I do not want to be caught under ISA. but i do hope that this thing can be solved as soon as possible!
i knw wat u mean hahaha... every1 thinks the same thing too! my friends and my parents... all of us knw the story behing it. but of coz everything is just guessing!!! but i do hope this issue can be settled soon lah. so pitiful leh... how many churches have to be burned down leh?
I logged in to my Facebook account this afternoon and found out that I was invited by my friend to join this group called "We support the use of the name Allah by all Malaysian." I clicked "join". This is not for fun, but I decided to join because I think that The word "Allah" can be used by everyone if you really know the origin of this word.
I also came across this group called "Menentang Penggunaan Nama Allah Oleh Golongan Bukan Islam" (Opposing the Usage of "Allah" by Non-Muslims). Do you have any idea how many people joined this group???? Fucking more than 166,000 people which compared to 38, 779 people who supported using "Allah" as God by all Malaysians.
Honestly, some people do freaked out reading the news everyday that churches are being burned down, we are gonna have racial riots soon... But the Government has strongly reassured us that nothing serious would happen in Malaysia and they will try their very best to find the culprits who has been organizing the burning down of churches plans.
Sigh... I just don't understand. We have celebrated close to 53 years of Independence Day together, have been having each other as neighbors, friends, classmates, workmates, regardless of the skin colors. This kind of issues don't have to happen in Malaysia just because of one word.
I used to be so proud of being a Malaysian and called this beloved country "my home". I guess I changed my mind ever since long time ago. I am still proud, but not as proud as last time and would call other places my home if I am given a choice. The racial and ethnic thread in Malaysia is so tensed now that I am so afraid to be living in this country. Even though life is still normal around here and there hasn't been people killing other people. But I am afraid that this kind of things would happen sooner or later if this incident is not handled properly.
I met up some Iranian people while I was in Phuket and they said "Malaysia is a good Islamic country!We would love to stay there than Iran." I agreed to that but I would like to take that back this time. Malaysia is a good Islamic country, IF only the people here are not shallow minded and willing to accept other race's religion and belief.
So far, this is still a loving country lah. I am still talking to the Malay aunty who works at the restaurant next to my father's shop. I am still chatting with my Malay friends and we are still friends. There are a lot of Malays out there who also think that this is just a stupid matter and Malaysia people can do better than that!
For "Allah's" sake, I just can't wait for everything to cool down and by the time I read the newspaper it won't be news about burning churches and "Allah" this and "Allah" that.
