Open Question:
Although i am not a Christian but i wish know how many of you here agree with the word Allah use in Catholic magazine?

I mean do you agree with the word Allah use in the Harold Magazine? Why they must use the Allah for God instead of Lord and Father,what are they fighting for actually? I have no offense against any party either Christian or Muslim. Thanks

Your Answer:
The word Allah carries the meaning of "The one God". It is an Arabic word and has been in use by Jewish and Christians alike for thousands of years. It is a word, not an copyright-reserved invention and thus all should be allowed to use it as per their intention, as long as no harm is being done unto others. If the reason of banning the use of the word by non-Muslims is to avoid confusion of any sort, then perhaps the government should be looking at Islamic education as to how can anyone be confused about their own religion and faith. I doubt that Islam is that fragile and can be easily shaken. In order to truly know the meaning of a religion, one has to truly understand and interpret it by himself/herself, not blindly follow what is said or done by others. Guidance can be set in order to give believers a good start, however the steps taken further down the road of discovery has to be made by individuals so that they realize the true meaning of their believe and life.

One needs to see and learn, as merely looking will not bring him/her any closer to God.

Open Question:
If Perak State call for fresh Election, do you think BN will win or Pakatan will win?

Just your comment and opinion only, not to insult anybody.

Your Answer:
If it is to be a fair election, then Pakatan will win. However, there are many "things" which BN might do to secure the victory. Personally, I feel that representatives who turn independent after winning seats should be disqualified because there are possibilites that they were being chosen for the parties they represent. The seats should be opened up once more and if the candidates truly feel that the are indeed popular among voters, they may stand again to prove themselves correct.

Open Question:
Name me interesting facts about Malaysia...?

I am on this project to find out more about Malaysia. You can tell me both good and bad facts about the country, preferably facts that are geography/development-related. Such as details about the people, population and how developed the country is....
Thank You (:

Your Answer:
Malaysia is indeed a very special country.

• Inflation has dropped tremendously since Q3 2008 (accordingly to last night's news) and yet the prices of necessities continue to go up, up, and up!!
• When the price of petrol increases, it was because we had to adjust according to the International market. When it goes way down, we no longer need to do that, and furthermore we must have a floor price for it.
• It is perfectly OK for members of other parties to join us, but when the opposite is about to happen, we form laws to prevent that from happening.
• Non-Muslims cannot use the word "Allah".
• Members of the Parliament make noises like monkeys by beating the benches as signs of mockery.
• Women are being used as objects of humor in the Parliament.
  You go into power despite unwanted by the people.
• When something happens to structures built during your "reign", those were the acts of God. Anything that happens after you have stepped down, you are no longer responsible because you are just a civilian.
• You insisted on TV that the country's economy will not be affected when there is a global economy slowdown.
• You get vacation allowances and need not file them as part of your taxable income.
• You vowed not to return home until your party wins a certain constitution during election, but was on your way immediately once the seat fell.
• There is only 1 fixed line service provider.
• Broadband service is horrible despite the exorbitant charges, and most of the time they ignore your e-mails or blame it on your computer.
• Someone from your party makes an extremely discriminative remark and all he gets is time off. If an opposition makes the same remark, he/she is to be detained under ISA for causing racial up-stir.
• You can be detained under ISA for your own protection. You will be treated like a criminal even though the involuntary detention is for your own good.
  
  I guess that is enough for one day, because there are lot more from where these came from.
