The importance of “Allah”

Shape of a Pocket by Jacqueline Ann Surin

February 3, 2014

Christians have been told that they should turn the other cheek and adhere to the ban on the use of “Allah”. Some others have also opined that Christians should back down so that temperatures don’t rise any further over this contentious issue. But the “Allah” issue, if uncontested, has far wider ramifications for all Malaysians than just Christians losing their constitutional right to worship peacefully.

“Allah”: The PR’s failure

Shape of a Pocket by Jacqueline Ann Surin

January 13, 2014

IT’S not hard at all to be distressed by the BN federal government over the way the “Allah” issue has developed. That said, following the Jais raid on the Bible Society of Malaysia, it is equally troubling to see the PR’s failure in demonstrating it will and can uphold non-Muslims’ constitutional rights.

Hudud and freedom of religion

Reductio ad Absurdum by Chan Kheng Hoe

October 24, 2011

MUCH has been said about hudud law. I take my hat off to Muslims who have come out openly to oppose its implementation. It must take a lot of courage to stand against conventional wisdom and religious teachings, and these people must be applauded. However, that does not make me anti-hudud. On the contrary, I […]

Uncommon Sense with Wong Chin Huat: De-politicising hudud

By Deborah Loh

October 10, 2011

HUDUD. One is either for or against its implementation in Malaysia – or so the prevailing political discourse goes. But what are we missing in between? Have proponents of hudud adequately justified their position, and how they would apply the Islamic penal code in today’s society? Can those who oppose it ever imagine a human […]

Uncommon Sense with Wong Chin Huat: Will PAS and Umno ever unite?

By Ding Jo-Ann

August 11, 2010

AS part of its “Malay unity” rhetoric, Umno has been making overtures to PAS once again to have unity talks. PAS was a component party of the Barisan Nasional from 1974 to 1978, before the cooperation broke down and PAS left the coalition to become part of the federal opposition. Despite being rebuffed, Umno continues […]

Non-Muslim rights: What Rais can do

By Teo Nie Ching

June 25, 2010

Umno leaders should stop pretending that they are sensitive to Chinese [Malaysian] rights. There are sufficient gambling avenues available to non-Muslims to indulge their habits. The non-Muslim communities have never requested for more opportunities to gamble. […]

By Deborah Loh

June 4, 2009

KUALA LUMPUR, 4 June 2009: The PAS Supporters Club or Kelab Penyokong PAS (KPP) for non-Muslims has been separated into Indian and Chinese clubs, but this has not received final approval from the party’s central working committee. Outgoing PAS Youth chief Salahuddin Ayub said the separation was a trial to find the best mechanism for […]

By Zedeck Siew

June 4, 2009

PETALING JAYA, 4 June 2009: PKR parliamentarian Zulkifli Noordin has slammed the Malaysian Gurdwaras Council for its statement criticising the syariah courts. “What people like (Malaysian Gurdwaras Council president) Jagir Singh need to do is to start learning to respect decisions of the Syariah Court, even if it is not in one’s favour,” said Zulkifli […]

June 3, 2009

KOTA BARU, 3 June 2009: The PAS Supporters’ Club, whose members comprised non-Muslims, has called on the party’s spiritual leader, Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, to accept the club as a legal entity in PAS.
