Untimely Act of PAS on moral policing!

Folks, i now wish to rant and ramble on PAS' latest action: that is, according to Malaysia's leading English dailies,

The Kota Baru Municipal Council has enforced standards on women’s sportswear in a park - only to be criticised for it.

Then, the MCA Wanita Chairman (Datin Paduka Chiew Mei Fun) says this:

Chew said PAS’ sexist policies not only curtailed the rights and
liberties of women but also impacted their daily lives.

“PAS insists on the issue of women’s clothing but the real question
is: who are they to set the standards?

“Why must they label the dressing of others as ‘too sexy’ or
‘inappropriate’?

“The rhetoric of PAS seems to be that they are morally superior,
while everyone else is deemed morally bankrupt,” she noted.

She also hit out at the party for its excessive male chauvinism and
setting limits to women’s freedom including a ban on lipstick and high
heels.

I must say that i agree with what Mei Fun says. Who is PAS to condemn and set a limit to woman on what to wear and what not to wear? I am so sick of PAS' male chauvinism!

To PAS, let me say this: Islam promotes gender equality and rights to both a male and female human beings. So, therefore, please stop all of this bullshit on moral policing.

Let the women wear what they like as long as they are not being naked in the public.

What PAS can do at this point in time is to promote gender tolerance between men and women. There is no need to snoop and punish girls who doesn't adhere to the principle of Islam. As long as these women dress decently in public, then it is fine.

I am sure that Malaysian woman these days know the true teaching of Islam. If they chose not to follow the true teaching of Islam, then let them be as long as they did not explicitly insult the religion of Islam by going naked in the public.

Furthermore, what the hell is wrong by wearing a lipstick? Why do PAS care so much when it comes to lipstick? What about the male? Why can't PAS ban all Muslim man in Kelantan from wearing shorts and colouring their hair?

Why making this nonsense and bullshit statements? I am just totally turned-off by this somewhat and sometime sexist party who claims to honour the true teaching of Islam.

PAS, Malaysia is a multiracial country. And Malaysia is also a democratic country where everyone is entitled to wear, speak and eat whatever they want as long as they did not insult and break the general code of ethics as prescribed by the Court of Public Opinion. The public's right to do whatever they want so long as they did not violate the law has been enshrined in the Federal Constitution. So there is no need to snoop, squad and enforce pathethic laws on what to wear and what not to wear.

PAS must note that women in Malaysia, unlike in some part of other nation, is educated, intelligent and smart. Women in Malaysia nowadays know what is right and what is wrong.

So stop abuse and misled the true teaching of Islam.

PAS, there is no need to be too extreme, orthodox, and fundamentalist, and there is also no need to be to liberal in interpreting the teaching of Islam.

Care is what you guys must accede to when making statements especially when it touches the subject matter of gender, race and religion.

Verily Allah knows best.

Apo Kono Ni Eh Jang?

Cruel & Shame Act by a Mother!

Folks,

This morning when i read the newspaper, i can't help but to have tears dropping out of my eyes after reading this news in Malaysia's English Dailies: The Star.

The newspaper carries a report that a mother has abused her five-year-old son. This is the extract from the newspaper:

PETALING JAYA: Her relatives noticed the scars on the boy’s head three years ago and her colleagues at a music school saw bruises on his face all the time.

When they confronted the single mother, she just brushed it off saying her five-year-old son was naughty and was always falling down.

However, the truth came out on Tuesday when Welfare Department officers rescued the boy and took him to the Serdang Hospital.

He had so many injuries that doctors who examined him were taken aback as there was barely a spot on the body that had no scars.

And the last sentence really struck my heart. The phrase "...there was barely a spot on the body that had no scars." Now, i do not know whether the reporter is exaggerating or what, but all i know is that if this report turns out to be true, then i have nothing to say except to remove the parent's custodial right from raising the child.

And furthermore, read this:

Those present [in the hospital]were shocked to see that his [the boy's] bottom jaw was almost toothless.

I can't imagine what will kind of punishment had been meted-out against this poor soul. I feel deeply ashamed to have a this one hell of Malaysian lady living on this very soil.

The poor child does not deserve this kind of treatment. In fact, no child deserves to be punished severely due to their humanely mistakes. And no child deserves to be abused by their very own mother.

Let's look at the injuries sustained by the boy insofar:

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil looking at the boy’s bruised lips, chipped and missing teeth when she visited him at the Serdang Hospital yesterday. [my emphasis]

I can't help but to really feel sorry for the kid. Even if the injuries does not hurt now, it will surely hurts him mentally.

And what is even more heartening is to listen (or in my case, read) the child's remark:

‘Saya sayang mak tapi mak pukul, mak pukul rotan besar
(I love my mother, but she beats me. She beats me with a big cane).’

This is such a powerful words uttered by a five-year-old boy who had yet to learn about the realities and challenges of this world. The despicable act of the mother should not be condone by any society and community.

The word "love" is a powerful word. It is not a weak word at all. It is not even vague. It carries a deep meaning, and clearly, the poor child, even though been abused by her very own mother and suffers physical torture, still manage to have a heart to his mother.

Can you imagine what would happen to the child's future?

Haiyya. . . Apo Kono Ni Eh Jang?

An eye for an eye

Folks,

Yesterday in the Malaysian news, a woman (also a wife), her daughter and her maid from Indonesia was being killed by some suspected 26-year old guy who is believed to be under the influence on drugs.

Haiyya, what is happening in Malaysia nowadays? Are we getting too violent? We are not getting violent but some black-sheep in our society is turning and resorting to violence in order for personal gains.

How could this young fellow killed innocent people? What does he really wants? Money? There is a better way of making a money, simply by ask. Have the gut to ask for money and if there are some souls who pity you, then perhaps you will get some money.

The life of a man, whom according to Malaysia's number one tabloid, Harian Metro, Jafri Tajul Ariffin was shattered and ruined in a blink of an eye. There were no significant chronology that leads to the death of some of his family members. What i mean by "significant chronology" is a set of events that can lead to someone's death. For instance, if someone is being infected by a dangerous disease, then the infected person ("infectee") can expect that his life will sooner or later comes to an end. Thus, this guy can somehow spends some of the quality time with his beloved ones. At least, this guy will die gracefully. Not embarassingly and in horrifying conditions.

I propose that we hang the murderer to death. But prior to that, i also propose that this murderer be caned 100 strokes and then, both of his hands are to be cut, followed by his feet and lastly followed by his neck. The murderer ought not to be sympathised. A deterrent sentence should be imposed on the murderer and the judge trying the case should not, by any means or chance, have mercy on him. His crime will fall under section 39 (or 302?) of our Penal Code.

I am so sorry for Mr Jafri and his surviving 10-year old daughter for this bloody horrifying yet unwarranted incident. I hope that the culprit be brought before justice and he shall be rewarded with only what he deserve: that is, his sinful act is to be punished with death by hanging; or his despicable act shall be rewarded with a harsh corporal punishment that will eventually lead to his death. An eye for an eye.

May Allah forgive you, the culprit.

The Importance of English

Folks,

Before i went off to bed tonight, allow me to pen down my thoughts about the importance of English in Malaysia.

Malaysia practices constitutional monarchy system whereby the King of Malaysia becomes the constitutional head in this country. The official language in Malaysia is Bahasa Malaysia, a language spoken by almost 99.99% of Malaysians living on this land.

Now, the Federal Constitution of Malaysia was originally drafted and written in English, and in the highest court of the land, most of the cases argued before a panel of judges were done in English. And in Law, if the Malay version of the rule contradicts that of the English version, then the English version of the law shall prevail, no matter what. Even if you were to take this case or issue to the Federal Court of Malaysia, you still won't succeed.

Malaysia does not have its own technology save the fact that the only two main ones are the national cars; Proton and Perodua. Other than that, is really out of question. Most of the technology were imported from foreign countries such as America, United Kingdom, Australia and several European countries.

Notwithstanding the ttechnology alone, Malaysia, whether you like it or not imported several technical manuals from other foreign countries. And these technical manuals are only available in at least five different languages: English, being the main one; Chinese, Japanese, German, French and Arabic. Sometimes, the only available language for the manual is English.

If young Malaysians were to look for a job nowadays in Malaysia, he or she will most certainly be interviewed in English. It is very rare to find leading and multi-national companies in Malaysia that conducts their job interviews in language other than English. Unless you were to be interviewed for any civil or public position, until then, the interview will remain in English.

If you were to search about technology or issues that are not occuring in Malaysia, one would need English in order for them to understand the material that they are reading. Very few international journals (and i dont think there ever is) written in Bahasa Malaysia.

If one is working in multinational companies, one would need to master and have a good command of English in order to climb up the ladder in one's career. Failure to speak English will only leaves one nowhere to go but to stuck there in your cocoon forever.

Is the above argument not enough for you to fathom the importance of English, ha?

Haiyya, Apo Kono Ni Eh Jang?

Guess Who?

Folks,

I found this over the internet. Firstly i would like to say this:

1. Islam does not, will not and will never ever teaches its followers to drink or even sip a drop of alcoholic beverages.
2. A "true Muslim" or a "true believer of Islam" will never associate themselves with wines, beers or indulge in any business that is directly or indirectly related to alcoholic drinks.





Thus, having saying the following words above, i shall leave it to the Court of Public Opinion to judge on the acts committed by the following people in Malaysia, namely:

1. Tunku Naquiyuddin ibni Tuanku Ja'far - the son of the late Tuanku Ja'far, former ruler of the state of Negeri Sembilan
2. Jen (B) Tan Sri Dato' Mohd Ghazali bin Dato' Mohd Seth
3. Tan Sri Datuk Asmat bin Kamaludin

Let the people judge.

Haiyya, Apo Kono Ni Eh Jang?

Unbelievably Rude!

Folks,

I found this while i was checking my email. The picture below shows a despicable, unbelievably rude and shockingly immoral. It shows a picture of some guy wearing a t-shirt which contain the word "FUCK", "ROCK" and "DRINK" while performing his prayer in a local mosque, somewhere in Malaysia.



I mean, how could this happen? No Muslims, at least not in this country, were taught by anyone that it is okay to perform your prayer as long as you are covered up and dresses according to Islamic laws. No one, and not anyone of any organization should condone his act!

I mean, look at it mate! This guy is wearing some fancy-ass t-shirt in our holy mosque. Who does he think he is, ha? Ini BAPAK kau punya masjid ker...?

I despise this guy!

Haiyya, Apo Kono Ni Eh Jang?

Maths 2

Folks,

last week, i have finished marking the examination paper for my students, and all, yes ALL of my students passed the subject that i am teaching, that is, WQD 10202 : Technical Mathematics 2.

I now wish to deal why i passed all of my students. First of all, it is of utmost importance that i defined what constitutes a pass for my students. To pass my subjects, my students need to strive hard and fulfil the course requirements. Now, some of the courses have a tough marking or assessment system while some others are lenient. However, the lecturer should have the discretion when evaluatina nd grading the students.

The lecturer should be impartial, fair, unbias and transparent when giving marks. The lecturer should not be streotyped and favours the students who he or she likes the most.

A note of caution: it is NOT wrong in law to pass all of your students unless the students himself wishes to fail that particular subject.

Now, what then is my criteria for passing my subject? Now, note that i use the word "pass" not "excel". To pass my subject, one must have:

First, a proper attitude. Now, no matter how smart a student is, if he has a poor attitude, then he deserve to fail. The main reason is simple. The purpose for the establishment of a university is to produce a knowledgeable, ethical and well-rounded human-capital. A well-rounded students needs to have a proper attitude prior to be employed in any company. Poor attitude will result in poor performance during their career. Thus, it is belief that the university is a place and the right channel to groom these students. Therefore, any students having poor-attitude and being rude to me will deserve a failure, no matter what. What then is a proper attitude? These includes, but are not limited to: attendance to class, communication skills, handing the assigned tasks and being able to communicate politely to the lecturer.

Second, a sound knowledge of the particular subject matter. It is no use to have a worker who is dumb and stupid. Thus, all of my students are expected to have a sound knowledge of a course content. Those who does not have a sound knowledge of my subject deserve to fail. I can't simply pass the students who knows nothing about my course, can i? For example, in my subject (i.e. WQD 10202), the students must be able to define a complex number, perform the derivative and integration of mathematical functions. If the students fail to do simple thing such as this, then they deserve to fail and repeat the course until they can manage to at least, meet these criteria.

Third, submitting all the assigned tasks. Students are expected to submit all of the assigned tasks and where the students fail to submit the assigned task without valid reasons, he or she will be given a zero for that particular tasks. Unauthorised late submissions will be penalized 20% for each day late.

Thus, all of the above three criteria makes the students pass for my course.

Now, how to ace my subject (to get an A)? Well the students need to perform to their best standard in the test and examination, participates actively during the class and have a proper attitude.

Will i have mercy on those who seems to fail my course? My answer is simple: the students can pass this subject ONLY if they consult me. This is because, if the student come and see me about their academic performance, then that shows me that he or she is worried about his grade. When they are worried about their grade, that simply means that they care about their studies and the only thing that i can do for them is to give them extra assignments which only elevates their original carry mark to a minimum of passing mark (or passing grade). Those who does not care about their subject will simply fail. Because why? Because they could not care less about their grade.

It is in my opinion, unethical and immoral for a lecturer to simply fail their students who seek to pass the subject without giving proper reasoning. I believe that everyone should be given the opportunity to pass the subject only if they deserve it. For those who doesn't deserve it, then there are still opportunities for them to pass, but they shall be given the opportunity in the next semester: that is to repeat the subject in the next semester.

Now, i would like to congratulate the following students of mine who obtained A- for my subject:


What have they done to pass this subject? They have performed to their best in all of the assigned coursework and they did beautifully in the final exam.

Well, most of my students got a "D" and i think that they deserve it. Sorry to say this, but i really think that they do deserve to pass, but certainly they DO NOT deserve to get anything above "D".

And another note. It seems to me that some people do not accept the view that i hold. Now, it is plainly simple: you take care of your students and let me care about mine. Do not poke your nose in someone else's ass. You may question me on why i pass all of my students, but you may not judge whether i did wrongly or rightly. My students has certainly meet the above criteria in passing the subject. I have marked them with transparency and leniency and have taken into account some of their pleas and mitigating factors.

And i do not hold this view: "a high quality lecturer has a balanced proportion of passing and failing students". This view has no place other than in the bin or down the toilet. If the students pass, then they are most certainly deserve to pass. If the students fail, then many factors, reasons and things that needs to be taken into account before failing them.

To me, it doesn't matter how many students passed and how many students failed. What matters is, how many of them DESERVE to pass and how many of the deserve to fail. In the end, the students are solely responsible for their own learning.
