Say My Name

You know you are in a great country when the people fight over who gets the right to call God, God!

Be it in English or Arabic or your own mother-tongue. So it is that Siber Party of Malaysia (M)'s (SiPM) Malaysia spent the first three weeks of the year debating about God, praying to God about helping and defending God, attacking churches, gurdwaras and mosques over His name.

If that is not 1 Malaysia, tell us what is? If that is not Malaysian Malaysia, tell us what is? If that is not the new, all-improved Middle Malaysia, tell us what is? If that is not a recipe for disaster, tell us what is?

Now depending where you read this, apparently there are some words you cannot utter for fear of misleading the faithful of some faiths and confuse them over whether God is God or perhaps God!

We in SiPM (M) have faced the reality that the solution to the issue is no solution at all. Call God God or whatever else, He is still He and the Almighty. And if He is not, then why are people fighting over naming rights?

Perhaps its a lack of faith among the faithful. This is no problem to the faithless as they have no faith but for the faithful, it is a huge problem. Almost as big as God, not god!

We note that those who fight over His name have many things in common - they are right-wing nuts with prayer beads and beards prowling about in robes. They only dispute is whether they should share His name for they agree on almost everything else.

What a pity.

We in SiPM (M) can only say this, take note of the first three weeks of 2010 in Malaysia and continue to say His name. Whatever you want to call Him! If not, call us.

Kuliyyah Jumaat: Setinggi-tinggi Santa Claus terbang, akhirnya akan mendarat jua

Alhamdulillah. Memang lama betul kita tidak bersua. Apakan daya, seperti yang telah diutara oleh rakan saya Mat Merah, kami telah sekian lama bertungkus lumus menyiapkan kerja-kerja orang lain.

Tidak mengapa, kini kami kembali. Dan setelah beberapa bulan mendalami dengan lebih terperinci selok belok aktiviti-akitivi Pakatan Rakyat dan juga Barisan Nasional, kami sekarang boleh mengkritik dengan lebih berkesan. Bak pepatah Sun Tzu "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer".

Oh ya. Selamat Hari Natal saya ucapkan kepada saudara saudari saya yang penganut Al-Masih.

Adakah tahun ini anda semua berkelakuan baik? Kalau tidak sudah tentu Ayah Krismas tidak akan memberi anda hadiah tahun ini.

Dengar khabar, Ayah Krismas telah menaiktarafkan kenderaan penghantaran hadiah dengan membeli 2 buah enjin F-5E.

Kalau enjin-enjin tersebut telah disedekahkan oleh kerajaan Malaysia untuk kebaikan dunia takpa juga.

Tetapi ternyata harapkan pagar pagar makan padi. Orang-orang yang bertanggungjawab haruslah dibawa kemeja pengadilan.

Dengan itu, saya ingin mengakhiri dengan seruan untuk kita berbuat baik-baik di Hari Natal ini, minum baik-baik, jangan membawa kereta apabila terlalu mabuk dan berkasih-kasihlah dengan orang yang tersayang.

Kami di SiPM cuma ingin berpesan setinggi-tinggi tupai melompat, akhirnya jatuh ke tanah juga. Dan jika tupai tersebut masuk dalam seluar, nayalah habis...

Finally...

With profuse apologies, those who think we died or rolled up the carpet (gulung tikar daa) would be disappointed to know that we did neither.

Fact is, we were working on two top secret projects that finally came to light this week.

Yes, some of us in the Siber Party of Malaysia (M) worked on the National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the Barisan Nasional government while the rest had a hand in Pakatan Rakyat's Common Policy Framework.

You can see the similarities. Its only that much we can differentiate or give separate ideas to both our clients, be it the Barisan Nasional or the Pakatan Rakyat.

Of course, they will take the credit for it all.

Not an issue with us.

But you heard it here first. Well, last as the case may be.

After all, which party really looks out for your interest if not the Siber Party of Malaysia (M).

Looking forward to maintaining the party as number one in Malaysia.

Finally.... we're back!
