Support parliamentary reform to penalise MPs who make racist or religious allegations including punishing MPs who make allegation that someone is promoting Islamophobia but could not substantiate the allegation
Posted by Kit in Parliament on Tuesday, 7 February 2023, 10:30 am
I support the proposal by the Speaker of Parliament, Johari Abdul, that MPs uttering remarks that are racist, sexist or insulting are liable to an RM1,000 fine and may even be suspended.
The parliamentary reform should also specify that MPs who make racist or religious allegations, for instance, that someone is promoting Islamophobia, should be punished if they cannot substantiate the allegation.
Indonesia is one step ahead of Malaysia in giving a new meaning to “Unity in Diversity” with people celebrating the great ethnic, religious, and cultural festivals of the world to bring about civilizational understanding and harmony in the world

In my joint Thaipusam-Chap Goh Mei message yesterday, I ventured the view that Malaysia can lead the world in giving a new meaning to “Unity in Diversity” where Malaysians celebrate the great ethnic and religious festivals and cultures of the world while keeping their own ethnic, religious, and cultural identities.

Malaysian youths and school children must be encouraged to dream the Malaysian Dream — to be a first-rate world-class nation to contribute to global progress or to be a divided, failed, and kleptocratic state
Posted by Kit in Malaysian Dream, nation building on Friday, 3 February 2023, 11:23 am
Malaysian youths, those between 18 to 21 years old, and even younger ones, the school children, should be encouraged to dream the Malaysian Dream — to be a first-rate world-class nation to contribute to global progress or to be a divided, failed or kleptocratic state.
This is what struck me when I read the media reports that academician Mohammad Agus Yusoff had been appointed the director-general of the Community Communications Department (Jkom) under the Prime Minister’s Department to propel the Malaysia Madani concept with three thrusts to cultivate knowledge, create a society with digital skills and strengthen the people’s patriotic spirit; the digital dream of the Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil to create a new golden digital decade of the country; and the Nationl Unity Week programmes being formulated by the National Unity Minister Aaron Ago Dagang based on the theme of “Unity in Diversity” in multi-racial, multi-lingual, multi-religious and multi-cultural Malaysia.
TI CPI 2022 is best evidence that after six decades, Malaysia has regressed to become a second-rate mediocre country in danger of being lumped together with other failed states in the world in the next few decades

Transparency International (IT) Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2022 is the best evidence that after six decades, Malaysia has regressed to become a second-rate mediocre country in danger of being lumped together with other failed states in the world in the next few decades.
TI Malaysia President Muhammad Mohan said Malaysia is back to square one in the annual TI CPI and that urgent action is needed to improve the nation’s CPI score in the following years.

I agree with former Prime Minister Musa Hitam that time is not on the side of the Anwar unity government, which is why the seven-week Parliament in a fortnight’s time must be a most memorable one in Malaysian history to start institutional reforms.
In his talk on “Resetting the Malaysian economy” in Parliament on Friday night, Musa said the time for the Anwar unity government to talk about the various issues faced by the country has passed, and it is now time to take proactive action to solve them.

The response by Selangor PAS begs the question whether its President, Hadi Awang, respects all cultures, faiths, and traditions of other races and supports the study of all civilisations and not just Islamic civilisation in schools

In response to an Amanah memorandum to Selangor Ruler for a probe against PAS President, Hadi Awang for religious extremism, the Selangor PAS yesterday claimed it was against religious and racial extremism, and that it respects all cultures, faiths, and traditions of other races.

With the establishment of the “unity government” under Anwar Ibrahim as the 10th Prime Minister, Malaysians celebrated the Chinese New Year of the Rabbit with hope that Malaysia can be better tomorrow — more just, more equal and more prosperous, and less corrupt, less violation of human rights, and less scandalous.

Support for Anwar’s condemnation of Swedish-Danish far-right politician Rasmus Paludan for burning a copy of holy Quran in Stockholm
Posted by Kit in Anwar Ibrahim, Islam on Monday, 23 January 2023, 11:45 am
I fully support the condemnation of the Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, of the Swedish-Danish far-right politician Rasmus Paludan for burning a copy of the holy Quran in Stockholm on Sunday.
It is not only a blatant defilement of Islam’s holy book, but an unacceptable hate speech which cannot find any justification as “freedom of speech” in any civilized society, just as there can be no justification for any act of arson.
A Royal Commission of Inquiry on how Malaysia can, in Tunku Abdul Rahman’s words, be “a beacon of light in a difficult and distracted world”
Posted by Kit in nation building on Sunday, 22 January 2023, 9:47 pm
Bapa Malaysia Tunku Abdul Rahman had hoped that Malaysia, with its multi-racial, multi-lingual, multi-religious, and multi-cultural characteristics can be “a beacon of light in a difficult and distracted world”.
Malaysia is at the confluence of four great civilisations — Malay/Islamic, Chinese, Indian, and Western — and there is no reason if Malaysians can leverage on the values and virtues of the four great human civilisations in the world, why Malaysia cannot be “a beacon of light in a difficult and distracted world”.

The question today is whether the PAS President, Hadi Awang will follow in the footsteps of the Penang PAS Youth leader to retract and apologise for lies and falsehoods which he could not substantiate like his preposterous allegations that DAP is anti-Malay, anti-Islam, communist, and promoting Islamophobia?
Permatang Pauh MP and Penang PAS Youth Chief Muhammad Fawwaz Mohamad Jan yesterday apologised over a statement uploaded on his Facebook account saying non-Muslims were working to bring down Islam.
