1 MALAYSIA, really?
Disturbing news has prompted the heading. There are many, many, the worst being the cow's head being dragged by a couple of men to demonstrate against the building of a temple. Yet one of the headlines today shamelessly said Ban immoral shows, says PAS Youth.Someone here does not understand immoral, lah.
The other headline Eyed Peas show limited to non-Muslims', why? because it's sponsored by Guinness to mark their 250 anniversary of the signing of a 9000 year lease on St. James'Gate in Dulin in 1759 by Arthur Dublin. While Malaysia should feel proud at being one of the 5 venues worldwide to host Arthur's Day - the others being Dublin, New York, Lagos and Yaounde. But no, Malaysia decides that Muslims are barred from this event where DIGI has brought in Black Eyed Peas to entertain audiences, because? Can you understand? If it's because us Muslims will suddenly be guzzling copious amount of Guinness at this party, I feel truly insulted that Muslims are treated like badly behaved children, that we can't go to a party that's sponsored by Guinness, Universal Music and Digi because someone in charge says we must be good little Muslim boys and girls or we'll be deprived all our lives? Give us all a break YBs.
Two thoughts for you: GUINNESS pays millions of taxes to our coffers that we readily take - yes? and is this the way to become 1 Malaysia?
Just 2 days before Merdeka, lets make some intelligent statements for all our sakes.

Your '1 Malaysia, really?' article is one of the many reasons I love you. You are, of course, absolutely right! Judging by this morning's papers there are many people who seem to agree with you! The idea that muslims are banned from viewing a Black Eyed Peas concert because it is sponsored by Guinnes Brewery is beyond any intelligent reasoning...it is an insult to ones integrity!
Thank you Joe. I love you too. I know my father would be smiling.
