Actually, Teresa’s dilemma began with a MISPERCEPTION. She was confused between JAWI and ARABIC! Whilst the Koran is written in Arabic, Jawi is the original Malay writing in the Malay Archepelago in the olden days. It was romanized probably for the convenience of the British who ruled Malay for the few centuries.

There is nothing Islamic by having Jawi on road signs. All we can say is that it is REDUNDANT as the Romanized form and the Jawi writing read the same.

I am a pure breed Chinese from Kuala Lumpur (mind you not from the East coast states) but I took to learning Jawi way back in the late seventies. I find it nothing wrong to do so, it is just another form of knowledge for me and in fact, I am profitting from this knowledge right now. Teresa might have felt these Jawi writing on the road signs signifies Islam, but this is terribly wrong. Perhaps she should carry out this simple experiment. Get an Arab tourist to read the Jawi writing on the road signs! You will find him scratching his head as he will not be able to comprehend a single thing out of the writing which may look “similar” to what is written in the Koran.

This was perhaps the biggest mistake and the “fuse” which lit up the explosion, resulting in her being ISA’ed. If the Malays can send their children these days to Chinese schools to study Chinese, what is wrong with a Chinese studying Jawi?

I not only read the Jawi newspaper (Utusan Melayu) every Monday, but I am able to write and type in Jawi using my computer. So am I to be considered an “outcast” in the eyes of Teresa??????

Utusan Malaysia did this deliberately, as times and times again it gets away from bad behaviors.

Sad to see the Teresa Kok drag into into the cerpen…..
It is time we shall call to boycott these irresponsible media, we cannot ban them? Why not we ban whoever were to advertist in these media? IF “A” hypermarket were to advertise in these media, be it TVTiga or Utusan, then, we stop shop in this hypermarket…

Until and when these company learn they going to lose business if they continue to advertise in this media… If the advertistment stop, then the income for these media will stop, then the media will start to learn be responsible….

Well why not we continue and add more thrill to this so-called fiction story of YB J like this :
” As the anak muda from POM (AMPOM) laying on the ground , an angel appeared in front of him. Who are you AMPOM asked, “I am Ji Gong , the guardian angel assigned for East & West Malaysia. Just call me Mr.JG. I was an honest AG before prior to my promotion as Mr. JG. AMPOM asked, ” Why are you here?”, Mr.JG replied to teach you between right and wrong”. Let’s take a flight. Now you don’t have to buy AA discounted tickets.

First they went to the hospital where YB J body was placed. As the doctor was about to pull the sheet over, five angels appeared around and transmitted rays of light into her body. With a jerk she got up. AMPOM asked Mr. Jg , ” Why is she been saved, she is a racist. My POM branch chairman said she is a threat to us”.

Mr JG replied ” No he is wrong and had mislead you. He has an ulterior motive which you shall witness yourself later”

Now back to YB J. She got up smiling sitting on the bed to the surprise of the attending doctor.Of course with her trademark smile. And she asked two questions , the first ” Is everybody alright”. Next , ” I am still in time for GE13″

Story continues………….

Is this the way those idiots deal with issues?
Can I be faulted if I say that perhaps the c4 story also has not too dissimilar a start?
And with that open inciting, we can expect from now on to see and hear more of such stories?
So are we entering a new level of post-mahathir oppression of dissension?

I agree with ‘aprobosky’ that comments submitted here ,in this particular write up, is harping dangerously on racial issues. Some good and some quite nasty.

Realistically, it’s not the race or religion that’s bad, it’s the person who makes the race/religion look bad.

And Jeffrey…you’re right…Theresa is in the public eye and will be forced to face all forms of criticisms.As so with all public figures.

She looks gutsy enough to handle it and she will be stronger becos
of it.

To lbl,

Do not blame Teresa Kok’s employees insensitivities. This concerted action to disgrace YB TK is all churned up by Khir Toyo to cover up for his loss of the Selangor state and to silence TK on exposing the excesses during the former MB’s era. Inilah hakikatnya dan bukan lah ” not understanding other cultures and describe by you.

Why didnt you make noise when Utusan Melayu carry pictures and stories which are insensitive to Muslims , Hindus and Christians and other religions ?
