At last he picked up courage to speak his mind. In his speech at the launching of 'The Merdeka Statement' in KL today, Dompok said, " For all intents and purposes, I think Malaysia was not meant to be an Islamic state” . Good for you Dompok! At least you can sleep well tonight., I am sure of that. Malaysiakini.com has a full report on his speech. Anymore "Jantans" around? Speak out and be counted. If you don't, just remember that when they come for you, there will be no one left to speak out. Ooops sorry, one senior minister just found his “bola” ie Bernad Dompok, Minister in the PM Dept.

If ever I find myself stranded in Bangkok I'd visit my favourite "No hands restaurant" and if Phatpong is still the place it once was for foreign visitors, I'd would like a piece of that action too.

What UMNO and BN is trying to do is just to change the label and still remain secular, hoping to please everybody - the Islamists and the secularists. BN's silly attempt is akin to calling a lemon a papaya. The problem is a new crop of BN leaders can easily forget (and Tun Mahathir will promptly attest to the short memories of all UMNO followers!) and will forget why a lemon was called a papaya. Then when extremism and intolerance breeds in the backyards of parochialism, the nation will slip very fast into an Afghan-PAkistan milieu. It takes statesmen to say, 'Heck, we can't put a leg each on a boat that's ideologically drifting further and further apart'. A lemon by any other name will be just as acidic. And there is no stateman in UMNO, MCA, MIC, PPP, GERAKAN etc... And all BN'ers seem to have lost their mind at the same time their pants are splitting from the drift!
