Reactions to my blog post simply amuse me....

Just as the dust was about to settle, I received yet another message from someone cherry-picking details of what Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said in his explanation, and trying to turn it into another major conflict.

I started listening to the video which was sent to me by a Member of Parliament, stating it as the "full version" confirming what I wrote in my blog post.

In the video, I see Anwar just trying to explain every step of the process and why he wanted to show some mercy to his

To me, this critic is just searching for the perfect man to be the Prime Minister of the country. He will never find one.

If he cannot accept that Anwar is human and prone to making mistakes, it is no wonder that when Anwar makes a mistake, he becomes the person the critic no longer believes should lead the country.

I don’t know what has driven him down this path, but it’s undoubtedly a complete waste of everyone’s time. I know he, along with a few others, will continue their criticism and spreading their influences around.

The sad thing is that these people can continue to become bitter gourd. They can argue till the cow comes home. There is no difference between these people and the one man who shook the social fabrics of this nation, pitching one race against another for his own political agenda.

I can only say that I am sad for these people, and for the nation. They will blame Anwar instead of themselves when we will be left behind the rest of the world, and if we continue to allow these people to dominate our social media, the country will go to the dogs.

What someone else sent to me makes more sense:

My point is always this: As a nation, we have to move on. Please stop all the bickerings. It will lead us nowhere. If we continue in this altercation, we will never move forward. This is where Malaysia has move into because of that one man in the past who, till today, is still stirring up strifes between the people of this country.

I urge my fellow Malaysians to stop paying attention to their tune and let them sing their hearts out into the void.

My heart will go on

It must be at least twenty years ago when I first encountered Malaysia’s very own Stevie Wonder, Colin Ng Soon Beng. It was during Chinese New Year, at the home of a mutual friend. Colin was only about ten years old then. His mother introduced him to me as a “special child.” She said, “Pick a song. We’ll play it for Colin to listen, and he will play it back for you.” I chose My Heart Will Go On from Titanic. To this day, Colin still remembers that it was the song he played for me. Born with multiple disabilities, Colin’s journey has been anything but ordinary. Being visually impaired, he could not learn music the way most children do. Yet God blessed him with an extraordinary gift: a razor-sharp ear. He could identify the brand of a photocopier or the model of a car simply by hearing its sound. His mother, Janet, devoted her life to nurturing his talent. After losing her husband when Colin was 24, she became not only a mother but also a father figure, chauffeur, and companion in ...

DALAM EMPAT BAHASA/ IN FOUR LANGUAGES/在四种语言中/ நான்கு மொழிகளில்: A Piece of Good News Worth Celebratinng

Akhirnya, anak Sarawak ini — Soliman Wan — telah menerima kewarganegaraannya! Dilahirkan 52 tahun lalu di kawasan pedalaman Sarawak, bukan sesuatu yang mudah bagi ayah dan ibunya untuk ke bandar bagi mendaftarkan kelahriannya. Tambahan pula, pada waktu itu, ramai penduduk di Sabah dan Sarawak kurang memahami kepentingan dokumen rasmi sebagai bukti status kewarganegaraan. Soliman dilahirkan pada tahun 1974, ketika Malaysia baru berusia 13 tahun. Kefahaman mengenai kewarganegaraan masih belum begitu meluas, terutamanya dalam kalangan masyarakat yang tercicir daripada arus pembangunan dan sistem pendidikan negara. Kehidupan Soliman sebagai seorang pastor penuh dengan cabaran. Tanpa kewarganegaraan, beliau tidak dapat memiliki kad pengenalan, memohon pasport, membuka akaun bank, dan pergerakannya sangat terhad, malah di dalam negara sendiri. Gajinya terpaksa dibayar melalui akaun individu lain yang dipercayai. Kini, dengan penganugerahan kewarganegaraan ini, komuniti Kristian di gerejanya ...

Aduan Sifar: Tauladan Dato' Zahri Samingon menerajui Aduan Sifar untuk MBPJ perlu dicontohi oleh Yang DIPertua Majlis-majlis lain

Saya amat kagum dengan Datuk Bandar Petaling Jaya, Dato’ Zahri Samingon. Dalam satu perbincangan ringkas melalui WhatsApp, saya menyuarakan kebimbangan bahawa kesesakan lalu lintas yang ketara berkemungkinan berlaku di persimpangan Jalan 16/11 dan Jalan 17/1 dalam beberapa bulan akan datang. Saya baru sahaja dimaklumkan bahawa satu lagi jemaah gereja berskala besar akan berpindah ke situ pada bulan Julai, yang hampir pasti akan menambah tekanan di persimpangan yang sedia sibuk tersebut. Dalam perbualan kami menggunakan WhatsApp, saya mengemukakan beberapa cadangan dan menjelaskan satu konsep yang saya percaya beliau sudah pun faham dengan baik, iaitu Zero Complaints (Aduan Sifar). Ini merupakan satu prinsip yang kami pelajari di bawah sistem Excellence Through Quality (EQ) yang diperkenalkan oleh guru kualiti Philip Crosby. Konsep Zero Complaints ini ringkas tetapi sangat berkesan—ia bermaksud bersifat proaktif : menjangka masalah dan menyelesaikannya sebelum ia menjadi isu awa...
