Critical Thoughts

Today is Nomination Day and for the next 13 days, we are going to see intense fighting, media spin and bickering of Bee Ann as they turn up the volume of their massive control of MSM (mainstream media), fortunately no search engine marketing firm would be campaigning for them. The victory of the PAS candidate for DUN Kijang due to the bankruptcy status of the BN candidate, however, speaks for itself on how low the general quality of BN candidates really are.

In other news, this blogger will take the time off blogging for a few days as he goes off to entertain an important guest who has just arrived in Malaysia with his family. That guest happens to also own and is founder of a major Islamic counter-missionary website. Insha’allah I will discuss with him about the issues regarding the Christian missionaries, as well as plans and suggestions for counter-missionary efforts.

The position of inheritance in Islam is a fundamental aspect of the religion. The Prophet (P) was in fact reported to have said with regard to the issue above, that “Learn the laws of inheritance and teach it to people, for it is half of knowledge”. It has been referred to as such because it involves various aspects of knowledge such as distribution of wealth, economics, mathematics, etc. as well as involving whether directly or indirectly with all forms of worship. Therefore an inheritance advance is certainly provided for in the religion, as the Qur’an and hadith literature contain abundant information on each family member’s share. Thus this ensures that everyone receives his or her fair share and justice in distribution of an inheritance is preserved.

No joke at all. If you want to see what is all the fuss about “phantom voters”, especially those existing in the Election Commission’s electoral list, you cannot find a better example than this.

I am astounded…truly astounded, that this person can actually get away with saying something like this:

Mr Zainuddin [Maidin, Malaysian Information Minister] insisted that while the younger generation are tech-savvy, they tend to believe newspaper reports over comments made on the Internet, China Press reported.

He added that the Internet is used mainly to book budget airline tickets or to get entertainment news.

What??!! I earn my RM2K+ a month from doing this?
