They Say Tak Boleh

We have a quota for unintelligent statements to release once in a period of time. Let's look at our fairshare this month,

1. The Banning of Yoga
2. "Masculinised" dressing among women is...forbidden? Hello?

With all my respect to the beloved official religion, these are really titchy things that should be omitted for the sake of betterment in other major issues. Over the years, the sanctity of religious issues have been twisted and toyed around by a minority of people with ulterior motives. Why do these people so intolerant to things that have so little significance to their religion? They are not even anywhere close to jeopardizing anything. Universally (I assume), we are taught to practice religion by heart. Clinically speaking, by practicing certain aesthetic body movements for wellness will not result in the erosion of tenet, why can't people just face it? They are not 100 years ahead of time so I think they should stfu. Women have all their rights to dress in whatever they want so long as they feel comfortable and why should those people ever bother? Well I'm quite sure that by putting on apparels that cover most assets all the while can cause inconvenience like heatstroke (sorry to say but our beloved country is right in the middle of all latitudes so how can we not love the fact that we have plenty of sunshine through out the whole year?), prone to get tripped, restriction in anatomical movements etc. To sum up, we cannot tell a person's sexuality by his/her ways of dressing. Physical appearance does not usually speak what's in the heart! Furthermore, what's wrong with being homosexual nowadays?

Dear chauvinistic leaders, it's time to ditch your sense of gender superiority and come down to earth. This is not about being pious or not to a particular religion, this is about the practice of pragmatism in accordance with the footsteps of time. I believe it's currently 2008AD not 600AD. Please evolve.

And these principles of Hadhari are being promoted ever since Father of Independence era :

  • Faith and piety in HIM
  • Just and trustworthy government
  • Freedom and independence to the people
  • Mastery of knowledge
  • Balanced and comprehensive economic development
  • Good quality of life for all
  • Protection of the rights of minority groups and women
  • Cultural and moral integrity
  • Protection of the environment
  • A strong defense policy
Look, our beloved nation builder in early days were living ahead of his time but leaders today are all out to fall back or do they favour the idea of "barbarians living on trees" that once pointed at us fellow Malaysians by some ignorant foreigners and attempt to prove them right? I wonder how do they define "religion", "religiously wrong" and "norm". They seem to interpret these vague terms "very well" in their own language and whoever has doubts should carry along with them to their graves then remain in silence eternally. The masses can't decipher, EVER, cos we are not worthy, not almighty and not holy enough to ascent into that imaginary position they look up to. Therefore, none of us will know what's in their game since they told us (non-believer of their religion) not to question and stay out of their sacred religious issues.

But being an inquisitive person we are we may still soliloquize : "why, why, why...?"

and why?

Go ask the God who lives inside us, not people who think they know it all.
