The royals have spoken, Muslims have visited the Dalai Lama and even the Pas president has visited churches, so what is the problem, really?
The post below is from Hadi Awang’s Facebook about a visit by a Pas delegation, led by Hadi, to the St Columba Anglican Church in Miri in October 2015.

PUTRAJAYA: The investment of RM25.5 billion by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and RM170 billion by China in Malaysia has a snowball effect with many countries showing interest in investing in the country, says Anwar Ibrahim.

AWS is the largest provider of cloud computing services by far. Investment in M’sia may mean giant contracts promised.
I think many are hindered by their religious indoctrination thus cannot use logic to think rationally.
Or they actually can and are able to think logically and can express themselves rationally BUT do not do so out of fear of being labeled as ……… no different from how the 320 billion Chinese general population living under the control of 80 million communist leaders/members.

The Sabah Mazu statue and tiptoeing around Muslim’s cultural understanding of Islam.

Malaysia G25 should promote progressive Islam and come up with such articles to educate the Malays. Too often those religious scholars have misled the Muslim here with their narrow interpretations of Islam.
How to promote when you don’t vote them? Rakyat don’t vote them as MPs but rakyat vote only yes persons MP

The article should be in BM to reach out to malay audience so used to BH and utusan. Maybe Prof Tajudin should appear on TV3 to speak on such issue.
I fully support. Prof should go to TV to explain his argument.

A recent live rendition of one of Anil’s favourite song “Big Yellow Taxi”:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=CoqSZktN5PU&feature=youtu.be
What’s the meaning behind the song to make it a popular song? Care to explain?
Joni Mitchell lived in Laurel Canyon, which is a section of Los Angeles, when she wrote this song in 1969 (that’s the reference in the album title). At the time, big news in California was the battle to save the redwood forests, which were threatened by developers eager to cut down the trees to build shopping centers and other amenities. As Mitchell implies in this song, this could lead to trees someday becoming something you could only see in a museum.

A Rakyat – What If Religion Is Misused For Politics ? Chat-GPT – When religion is misused for politics, it can have negative consequences for both religion and politics.

This can undermine the credibility and legitimacy of both religion and politics, and lead to a loss of trust among the public. Furthermore, when religion is misused for politics, it can lead to the exclusion and marginalization of certain religious groups or… Read more »

A Rakyat – What Kind Of People Misuse Religion ? Chat GPT – As an AI language model, I cannot make judgments about any particular group of people. However, it is widely recognized that individuals from any religion, and those who are not religious, can misuse religion for their benefit or to justify their actions. This misuse can take various forms, such as using religion to promote violence, discrimination, or hatred towards others, or using religion to acquire power, wealth, or influence. It is important to understand that religious texts and scriptures can be interpreted in multiple ways, and individuals can use… Read more »

Behind the Knock-Down Sale of Iskandar Malaysia Studios, Johor
https://variety.com/2023/film/news/sale-of-iskandar-malaysia-studios-1235575477/amp/
Sold at a loss of more than $100 million to GHY Culture & Media, a Singaporean company specializing in Chinese-language content.
When IMS opened in 2014, local and trade reports announced that the facility had required an investment of $120-$170 million. Even using the lower construction cost figure, the devaluation of an asset from $120 million to $7.3 million represents a more than 90% destruction of shareholders’ value in the eight years since IMS opened.
By shareholders’ value, I think you mean our public wealth.
Before being sold for pennies on the dollar to Singaporean production company G.H.Y. Culture & Media Holding Co Ltd, Iskandar Malaysia Studios Sdn Bhd’s (IMS) 2019 financial report revealed that it received RM250 million in government grants.
Prepared by auditors Ernst & Young PLT, the 2019 financial report also mentioned that IMS saw a net loss of RM23.33 million.

Many Malaysian workers will have to keep working past the official retirement age because more than 50% – or 6.67 million workers – have less than RM10,000 in savings under the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) scheme.
Malaysia is not a welfare state and will not be able to fully support these retirees. Therefore, like it or not, they will have to keep working after they reach the official retirement age of 60.

” A new meta-analysis by Australian researchers supports the idea that prescribing nature baths can be beneficial to the mental health of patients …. More and more doctors are recommending their patients spend time in contact with nature.”
But the elected MP’s say concrete, brick and mortar is the way to go for the future. Does this give a smart impression of them ?
Alpha888, you want to have this treatment in the tree top or coconut tree or attap where there is no fire resistance. The attap roof can leaks? If everyone lives in a single story built of timber, more land will be cleared. To save space, building and help you to reach the heaven as you get closer.

Chairman Mao, the 1st communist party leader introduced his ‘Cultural Revolution’ which was said to have caused nationwide famine which killed millions of innocent Chinese people.
How would you describe his actions ?
Alpha, same with uncle Sam. See the napalm bombs and agent orange drop in Vietnam, mess in Iraq and afghans. Spying South Korea. See so much suffering and lawless brought about
Yes, but has uncle Sam come with a cockamamie idea like the ‘Cultural Revolution’ where it caused its own people to die in the millions in its own country ?
The positive impact of Cultural Revolution is getting rid of superstitious practices in mainland China.
Somehow Malaysian Chinese are still following and expanding all kinds of superstitious rituals.
Around 60 to 80% of all people think they are special.
Almost all people have justifications for calamitiies.
Yes, but they don’t seem to realize that they still have to grow old and pass away, never to return no matter how special they consider themselves to be.
Yes, they all like to point the finger at fate or blame ” This is an act of God”, for the calamities, but never theirs.
And then we have some who say they are answerable to Almighty in the afterlife, wonder how, since their dead body is buried here. In what form do they stand before the Almighty and speak in what language?
Important is what you think. You stand b4 the amighty? Are you they?
Religion provides quick path to heaven, at least this is how it is marketed
Not everyone gets to go to ‘ heaven ‘. Many will remain here on earth without a physical body, suffering.
No one suffer, he just gone. Dead can feel, see or smell.
Are you sure about that, shriek ? If so, why do they celebrate this hungry ghost festival ?
There are many kind of suffering. Humans are already suffering here and now in many ways. Maybe if you become a ghost in the afterlife, you might get to understand better what kind of suffering one goes through in that life.
Religious people say, if one does bad or evil things, one gets to be punished in the afterlife. Do you believe, shriek? Your question seem to say otherwise.
Hello shriek, not just gone. If you want proof of their existence, just visit any cemetery. They are there mostly. You can do so during the day. If they allow, you can get to feel their presence.
You have an earthly body, so you get enjoy earthly things. After passing they are now without an earthly body, they can’t enjoy earthly things like you do. It is one form of suffering, can be hellish if stuck in that situation for a very, very long time.
Kenyan police have recovered 73 bodies, mostly from mass graves in a forest in eastern Kenya, thought to be followers of a Christian cult who believed they would go to heaven if they starved themselves.

Some believe that they will return; they call it reincarnation.
Yes, Almighty ‘ recycling ‘ system and with it is attached also the karma system. Regardless of what one think, everyone is subject to it. But to understand this, one need to understand who one is first.
Here on living Earth, one is bound by religion, race and color, rich, poor, etc, etc, but is one bound by the same in the afterlife? Food for thought, glissantia.
One said He will return; they call it Second Coming.
Notice or not, they forgot to give the time n date for the event.
Anyways, shriek say that, after passing there will be no suffering, he is just gone, zero existence. If that be the case not sure why he is going through all these arguements. For what purpose?
Sometimes wonder, what their thoughts are when at the time of passing they come to realize that they were wrong in their belief and that they now have to continue to exist without a material body.
Question : Why some people like to say ‘stupidity’
Chat-GPT says,
As an AI language model, I am not capable of understanding the motives and reasons behind the behavior of people who like to say “stupidity.” However, as an unbiased and neutral language model, I don’t judge people based on their behavior or vocabulary. It is important to always use respectful and courteous language while communicating with others.
Alpha 888, Penang gomen, you show respect and courtesy?
Do you think your state government can understand this, ” The predecessors plant the tree, the descendants cool off in the shade.”
Alpha 888, you don’t know that trees no need to be planted. You, birdie, doggie, wind and water brings the seed and it starts to grow id there is sunlight and dampness. You leave a vacant land and over a year, plants start to grow. Grown up man!

Go back and read all the comments and suggestion given on the Penang water issue in 2022. Its the same issue. That was when PM9 was governing and read his replies to the water issue. The Penang state was in the Opposition then.
Now, you have the PH unity government in charge with a 2/3 majority. Penang state government no more in black and white. Must has moved to Shades of Grey. Must be looking at some bigger picture too.
Now water reserve at 50% also no noise made to the federal.
alph 888, even if penang kias have all the water, you use them as if is your grannie’s You as a senior dont always kbkb. Teach the youngs to save and conserve. Teach them not to waste water even we have abundant. There is a climate change and a no of places are experiencing drought. Even the mighty Chiang Jiang tricle and the hydro power stop working. Penang kias use plenty of water whereas Kedahans and Perakians use less and you expect them to give Alpha 888 more H2O?

GEORGE TOWN: Nearly 1,000 residents of two posh condominiums in Tanjung Bungah here are demanding the Penang government to fulfil its promise of a seaside pocket park behind their properties.
The residents claimed former chief minister Lim Guan Eng had officiated the launch of the seaside pocket park, a month ahead of the 14th general election, back in 2018.

Yes, good at making promises only. Follow up poor. Just give excuses. Wonder if the same thing will happen to the people effected by the reclamation projects. Also what is happening to Gurney Drive and the stretch from Gurney to Batu Ferringhi ?
Maybe, this time you people should just reduce the 2/3 majority or change as 15 years is way too long to stay.
alph 888, you took Senior Cambridge exam? Conditions for approval is the developer has promised to build the park. To add style to the park, state contribute 1/2 million. Senior wise man, what tell the gomen what to do as the developer have no ringgit and sen? Well do families can live in condo with all the facilities. They want more compare to so many poor rakyat living in public housing? They should take care is some house owners are behind or cant pay monthly strata fees

You dreaming or what? What has MCA got to do with this issue? The Home Ministry (DSH) under the previous PN government proposed this policy and another which was the reduction of foreign workers. Both of which are good policies had no issues with it.
Step in unity government 2023 and see how messy their reversed foreign workers policy has become.
KUALA LUMPUR, May 6 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today again accused his political rivals of profiting from the back of poor Malays, saying they pocketed billions of ringgit in wealth when in power but never shared them with the people despite claiming to champion Malay rights.
