Two faiths, one roof and a shared humanity

Two faiths, one roof and a shared humanity: Watch what happens when a Muslim girl stays in the home of a Christian family in Indonesia.

This video reminds me of my childhood's day where we have 3 faiths, one roof.



My father rented rooms to those in Teacher's College, Alex was a Christian; Samad, Ramli, Sahak, Dul and Jamal were Muslim ; whereas my family at that time was Chinese tradition belief.



It was such a delight to hear Samad's voice when we have a reunion after more than half a century!

Whatever suppressive cruelty one set for so call enemies is a double edged sword, eventually it will end up torturing oneself or one's own people and family members.

There should be no compulsion in religion, once people start to play God by policing the people in religious matters than liberty and freedom we treasure will be gone.

In Singapore, its premier Lee Hsien Loong went to Parliament to answer all questions about the controversy with his siblings with regard to their late father and the island republic’s first Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew’s residence at Oxley Rise, but in Malaysia, Parliament was prohibited from asking questions about the 1MDB scandal, with questions from over 30 MPs rejected on the most ridiculous and indefensible grounds – although the 1MDB scandal turned Malaysia into a global kleptoracy overnight.

Take 1MDB and the way it spins its so-calIn the face of desperation, reason has been flung out the window and the increasing ridiculousness of 1MDB’s assertions, those of some ministers and even foreign news reports which appear to have been taken up by 1MDB’s propaganda machine, is a sign – if that was needed – that 1MDB is still very much in dire straits. And that much is being done deliberately to hide the extent of the problems.

Still, it will continue to haunt Najib and his administration for a long time more.

Is your heart thirty, longing for more?

AW Tozer's prayer wanting more of God. Comments: We have so many wanting in life. Do we have one thing that we focus on? Psalmist tells us that, "One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and ..." "O God, I have tasted Your goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want You; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me your glory, I pray You, that so I may know You indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow You up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen." AW Tozer 陶恕 的祈禱- 要求更多的神的禱告。 註釋 我們人生裏有這麼多我們要的。我們有一件我們關注的事情嗎?詩人告訴我們,“我要求耶和華的一件事,我要尋求;我要在我一生的日子住在耶和華的殿中,看耶和華的美,和...。 “。 "神啊,我嚐了你的善,它既滿足了我,又使我渴了更多。我痛苦地意識到我需要進一步的恩典。 我對我缺乏渴望感到羞愧。上帝啊,三一神,我想要更想要你;我渴望充滿渴望;我渴望更渴渴。 給我看你的榮耀,我祈禱你,所以我可能更加認識你。開始憐憫我內的一種新的工作。然後給我恩典起來跟從你,從這個 我已經漫遊了這麼長時間朦朧的低地。對我的靈魂說,“起來,我的愛,我美好的,來跟我同行。" 奉耶穌的名。 阿門。"

Bapa borek anak rintik 上梁不正下梁歪

Bapa borek anak rintik 上梁不正下梁歪 MACC recent active exposure corruptions in our country bring to my mind: 1. Peribahasa "Bapa borek anak rintik". As is the father so is the son. The father is Najib and the sons are those below him. 2. 上梁不正下梁歪 If the upper beam is not straight, the lower ones will go aslant.; A crooked stick will have a crooked shadow.; Fish begins to stink at the head.; If a leader, Najib is corrupted, the people below him will do the same. When MO1 is a 3 Ps (pencuri, perompak, penyamun) with the 1MDB scandal. The many officers found corrupted are not surprising to us. In fact we are thinking they are only the tip of an iceberg. This leads us to wonder, how our country would have been if it had been properly governed with people of integrity. Malaysia is reduced as a “global kleptocracy” is sufficient shame and infamy for the country! Could anyone disprove the “money trail” which the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuit to seize over US$1 billion of 1MDB-linked assets in United States, United Kingdom and Switzerland had elaborately traced in their kleptocracy cases – proving that the RM2.6 billion “donation” in Najib’s personal banking accounts came from the shoal of 1MDB-linked companies and not from any Saudi Arabian “donation”? Johor State Assembly , State Executive Councillor Datuk Abdul Latif Bandi whose son, Ahmad Fauzan and special officer Muhammad Idzuan Jamalluddin had been arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for a multi-million ringgit scandal involving kickbacks in the conversion of bumiputra housing lots to non-bumiputra lots. The seizure of 21 luxury cars, five high performance bikes and RM500,000 in cash, as well as frozen 45 accounts with over RM15.5 million in them, in the Johor land and real-estate scandal the Sabah Watergate corruption raids last October, where MACC seized more than RM114 million in cash and accounts, 19.3 kg of gold jewellery worth about RM3.64 million, some 97 designer ladies handbags worth RM500,000, nine luxury vehicles and some 127 land titles from the Director and Deputy Director of Sabah Water Department. We the people deserve the government we voted in. Be sure to do our part to vote and help the 4 million youngsters to register as voters before the end of this month.

Our Malaysia trip

Our Malaysia trip

Goldie Chong has written a summery of what she learned in her recent trip to Malaysia. Those who know her will want to read it. For those who don't know her, let me give you a brief introduction - Goldie and husband Dr Chong Kwong Tek were and are my mentor when I was a teenager and when I am an older man now. They  are the ones who have helped me and encouraged me to studied Medicine. Now I am learning from their example how to grow old not gracefully but fighting all the way ( on this you need to read the Next post on what Tek wrote ).
