HANTU LAUT
The Prime Minister, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said that Malaysia is not a secular nor a theocratic state but practises parliamentary democracy. This seems to clash with what the Deputy Prime Minster, Najib's declaration of Islamic state few weeks ago.It's undoubtedly created more confusion rather than helping to put the matter to rest.Maybe, the Prime Minister should expand a bit more on what he is trying to convey.
The Oxford Dictionary definition of ' secularism' is: 'the belief that religion should not be involved in the organization of society,education,etc'. If we practise parliamentary democracy, which didn't have religious element in it, wouldn't that be considered secular ?.
Has the word 'Islamic' became so offensive that it needed to be replaced with the word theocratic ?
I think we should stop beating about the bush. We are either secular or not. If we are not than we are Islamic. As for me, I am positive we are secular, and it's not a dirty word.

THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT our PRINCELY WEBSITE
HANTU LAUT
This is what I read today in the princely website.
UMNO, please do something. What! the 'hunted had become the hunter' . All the websites mentioned therein were offshore and not owned by Malaysians.
What's most disturbing and shocking is why this princely website didn't include 'PEDESTRIAN INFIDEL' which it regularly draws articles from, contributed by its guest columnists, Anti-Jihadist and John Sobieski and published them on his website. This is one of the many extreme anti-Islam websites that regularly churn out 'Islamic Bashing' articles and caricature of the Prophet Mohammed. The website also has a special section for 'Malaysia Bashing' labelled as below.
Isn't it hypocrisy of the highest order. This is the person so much revered by Malaysians in and outside the country for his fearlessness. From Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok to California, the support for his demagogic website is immeasurably immense and its popularity is second to none.
Are the bloggers in this country like herd of cattle led by one cattle hustler?From the most educated to the kuching kurap ( I borrow this from M.Bakri Musa) the support for this lion of a prince ( again from Bakri Musa) from the blogging fraternity is tremendous.
In our quest for freedom of speech do we have to discard our moral obligations and dispense only the untruth.What's the point of the article? I really have no idea. What's the point of publishing the banned IP and display a caution for readers to moderate their comments when you had all the chances to do so in the past.

The ugly truth about Malaysia, a so-called "moderate Muslim" state
There are various articles about Islam in Malaysia under the above label. Anyone interested to visit the website can go to http://www.pedestrianinfidel.blogspot.com/Isn't it hypocrisy of the highest order.

OH! MALAYSIA
HANTU LAUT
Oh! Malaysia....aah! My beautiful country, tranquil, charming, smiling and a land of ethnic and religious diversity.No other country can match this country.It's a country I was born in, a third generation descendant of aliens that came here about a century ago, the only country I have learned to love and fell in love with, the only place I call home, my sanctuary and yet I was told I don't belong here. How my heart bleeds for all those years that I have faithfully given you my love, my devotion and my loyalty and yet you spurned my love and affection.
Oh! Malaysia, why am I different from your sons of the soil, am I not your son too ? You promised me freedom of my faith but you seem not to have faith in me.Where do I go from here? I want to know.
I have paid my dues, broke no ordinance and served you well from the day I was born. How have you rewarded me? I can only see my place been eroded and replaced by new aliens whose only concern are to steal the fruits of my labour and the labour of my love. Have you no heart and can't you see your are destroying everything I have loved, cherished and treasured from the day I was born. I have toiled and soiled myself to get the better live, to give you the strength of a nation and the shame of none.How have you repaid me?
You squandered my contributions, abused your position, destroyed my trust and expect me to continue giving my love to you. Oh! Malaysia, the country I love, wake up, before it's too late.
