Bethlehem pastor criticises hypocrisy and complicity in Gaza crisis

It is hard to celebrate Christmas with the usual festive cheer this year when this is happening. Has the universal church done enough to call out the genocide that is taking place in Gaza? End the genocide in Gaza!

Part of the problem is that many Christians have fallen for the Christian Zionist ideology. Check out my article in the Herald here.

WWE Randy Orton’s entrance song ‘Voices’ has lyrics that best respond to this issue:

I hear voices in my head
They council me, they understand
They talk to me
You got your rules and your religion
All designed to keep you safe
But when rules start gettin’ broken
You start questionin’ your faith
I have a voice that is my saviour
Hates to love and loves to hate
I have a voice that has the knowledge
And the power to rule your fate
I hear voices crying
I see heroes dying
I taste blood that’s drying
I feel tension rising

Classic Christmas melodies and modern pop songs tell the story of a young woman with an unimaginable responsibility, a young man torn between love and honour, and a jealous king.

Penang will give importance to mega infrastructure projects such as the light rail transit (LRT), airport expansion, and Silicon Island in 2024.

In his New Year message today, chief minister Chow Kon Yeow said the state government is confident that the Silicon Island project will replicate the success of the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone (FIZ), which brought economic renewal to Penang over 50 years ago, Bernama reported.

Too much money wasted on those cheap publicity songs like Keluarga Malaysia. Better to put the money for better use to generate more return for the nation.

However, when theological matters encroach upon the laws outlined in our Federal Constitution – a document crafted and enforced by our esteemed forefathers and agreed upon wholeheartedly – we must pause and reflect.

How will political parties, such as DAP and all other ‘NoNs’ political parties, NGOs, Activists and Civil groups from both the West and East regions of Malaysia, respond to such an issue? Will they permit the meddling of our highest legal framework, the Federal Constitution? While this may appear to be a minor development, in reality, it could potentially serve as a pivotal moment leading us towards a theocratic state. It is imperative to acknowledge this matter and avoid turning a blind eye. Political parties, NGOs, Activists and Civil groups must approach this issue with respect, open-mindedness, and a commitment… Read more »
