Finally the Najib premiership has embarked on the most important decision regarding race relations in Malaysia. It was decided that the holy 'Bible' can be published in any languages including Malay provided for the Peninsular Malaysia edition it must print "For Christians Only".
I remember while checking into hotel and motel rooms either in Hong Kong or Canada I could find a copy of the holy bible in one of the cupboards.But I cannot find any copy of the holy Quran when I checked into hotel rooms in Malaysia.
It is the same for the use of the word 'Allah' for god. Although the courts are still undecided over the issue of the word 'Allah' for churches, I find no harm if the churches want to use the word 'Allah' for god. Malaysians are more educated nowadays. Of course the issue of Islam as the official religion and the special rights of the Malays provided in the Federal Constitution will be the aspects in which the verdict of the word 'Allah' will be based upon.
But I am a Malay of suku Biduanda. I eat with my right hand. I find it awkward to eat with fork,knife and spoon. I speak Malay. I take off my shoes at home.My parents are Malays but why can't I get an extension for my Canadian studies scholarship?
Answer: Simply because I refuse to marry a Malay women who apparently is a relative of mine.
The rhythm of song "Selamat Tinggal" by Broery is going deeper and deeper into my soul.
