Zulkifli Noordin, a CLP lawyer (probably University of London off-campus law student) ought to know the law of trespass.

The Bar Council was hosting a meeting at its own premises.

And he tells his followers to storm the building if he does not come out by 10 am. What kind of a lawyer is he? Half-past-six?

If they actually stormed into the building, it would have been trespass ab initio.

But that is pure law. Pure law, as in p-u-r-e or in Bahasa tulin,
t-u-l-i-n.

Political considerations have not been taken. Maybe, because of our biased law enforcement officers, the Bar Council president and some of her councillors would be detained under the ISA.

You never know, In Malaysia, “Malaysia boleh. Semuanya okay,” so said our former prime minister who is now thinking of migrating if Anwar wrests power from the National Front.

So for those of you who are advising your children to migrate, it is not such a bad thing. We follow leadership by example, even if it is leadership by bad example!

It’s July 14 on any day in Malaysia. Let us storm the Bastille in Paris!

If they create traffic jams, just stop the car engine and walk out. Make the road a grand car park. It is free … but it is mass action.

Politics and religion were separated in the Treaty between the Pope and the Princes of Europe. It was called the Concordat. This was in the early 1100s.

Pastors and priests were not allowed to stand for elections. The Church looked after the spiritual needs of the people while the State looked after the people’s worldly or mundane needs.

Note that this was in the 1100s. The problem seems to be that the Concordat only involves Christianity.

Islam, meaning total submission, is al deen or a way of life. It does not separate the mosque from the nation-state. Islam includes everything. Therefore, the Concordat is inapplicable to Islam despite Islam having already reached its 15th century or 1,500 years of existence.

So in Islam, there is no such thing as the separation of the political and religious sphere. The total religious sphere subsumes the religious. So, your question is a non-starter.

Dear Kit

Sorry for the very long posting on Ahmed Deedat, who had been invited to Kuala Lumpur to speak on several occasions before his untimely demise.

I was actually catching up on my reading and thought I should share it with all the contributors in your blog. I am sure there is nothing seditious about it, unless people want to split hairs, as in the Ooi Kee Saik case.

Hope you have moderated it.

You are welcome. If you have read the long piece, Deedat’s problem seems to be his pride. But, placed in a historical context, that pride was false because it was born out of years of being colonised. So, as you can see, colonisation does affect us and the way we think.

Of course, some of us had been the unintended consequences of colonisation. For instance, the Chinese, Indians, Sumatrans and Sulawasi people. Why do I say that. Basically, our forefathers followed the British flag. Even the chettiars followed the British flag into Thailand!

I agree with you. Why must Guan Eng have a debate with a leader who has lost all credibility. Even his so-called protege, his fellow Hokkien compatriots from the same village, has distanced himself from that imposter.
