A shame to what 1malaysia meant.If PM say he can’t stop the demo, then I can say his time as PM is running out.
all these sounds too organised to me. people out to do mischief tends to be bold if they know retribution or due process of law is not forthcoming
remember the celebration of Mat Rempits after they have been certified as Mat Gemilangs? The car accessories shops around Bangsar area might remember well
the PM been telling the world these are small matters and under control but I do like to hear from him why this matter has been blown over now when the usage of the word Allah by non-muslims here predates even independence.
In the aftermath of these seditious debacle, the wrong doers will (probably) get away scot-free but the huge credibility and financial losses, together with the
STAIN UMNO/BN sustained, will be unmeasurable.
UMNO has MISCALCULATED and will come out much weaker politically
…. the rakyat CAN expect even DIRTIER moves henceforth.

Ever wonder what those people might end up with?
Zimbabwe
Looks like the peace brokered by Nazri – 1Malaysia and 2 Allah systems is spiked by the religious nuts.
Will there be sanity? Or is Najib looking to the Saudi for inspiration. We know the Saudi has no issue with All used by Christian. Will the local religious nuts even listen to the Saudis?
we call upon all christians to be patient,strong,courage and forgiving in this time of trials and tribulations.what ever religion we profess whether christianity,islam,judaism,buddhism,hinduism or sikhsm,let us continue to live in peace with one another and accept each other way of thinking.to the general malays(not UMNO malays)you people are simply great muslims,been able to appreciate and tolerate other races in this beautiful and beloved land of malaysia.any untoward happening that may happen later, UMNO/BN government should be held responsible for it all.in the first place UMNO had given the blesssing for them to protess.Home minister said times in the past that… Read more »
To all my Christian friends, don’t worry we real Malays will help you build a bigger and better Church. This so called ‘Malays’ like akramsyah of UMNO are just … trying to spread hatred in malaysia. We real Malays of Malaysia are very proud of our Hindu heritage five hundred years ago and now proud to be muslims who want to live and share with our non-muslim friends. A true Malay Muslim is very proud and happy if a non-muslim uses the arabic word “Allah” to call God’s name.
God is Great or “Allah hu Akhbar”.
1Malaysia are just all half truth and true lies. 1 Malaysia is supposed to bring all Malaysian, people, religion & culture into 1 unity.
East Malaysia can use Allah while West Malaysia cannot. WHAT IS THIS ???? 2 MALAYSIA…
Isn`t this another rhetoric, insincere, lofty, extravagantly colorful, pompous, or bombastic language that we have from this … PM, Najib….
It is indeed a joke when the IGP and Minister of Home Affairs assured Malaysians that things are under control. So well controlled, that from 3, we now have 11 within just a week! That’s how well controlled the situation is under the these two ‘great’ chiefs.
Sad indeed.
