Leave Malaysia While You Can

Although what this man says is really making sense, I highly doubt that the UK will be so welcoming a bunch of suddenly migrating people to their country - especially when they themselves are already making such a big fuss over Migrants in the Brexit issue......

Leave Malaysia while you can, Zaid tells young Malays

 | September 25, 2017
Former minister says Malaysia is a 'sick Muslim country which teaches you the wrong things'.
Zaid-Ibrahim_rakyat_600PETALING JAYA: Calling Malaysia a “sick Muslim country”, Zaid Ibrahim today urged Muslims in the country to embrace the Islamic concept of hijrah, or the migration of the Prophet Muhammad to flee from persecution, by moving to the UK where he said their lives would be better.
“They give you the space to grow and make yourself useful. Move out while you can,” he said in his latest blog post today.
In Malaysia, Zaid said, news was classified as fake or real depending on whether or not the government liked it.
“Corruption and abuse of power are glorified, while beer festivals are held up as an example of evil.”
He was referring to the Better Beer Festival 2017, which was banned by authorities after the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) rejected the organisers’ application for a permit to host the event.
Inspector-General of Police Mohamad Fuzi Harun said on Thursday that the event was cancelled due to security reasons as the police had information that militants were planning to sabotage the festival.
The event’s organisers, MyBeer Malaysia, previously said they had been told by authorities that the beer fest was “politically sensitive”.
This followed opposition to the event by PAS, which labelled it as a “vice festival”, claiming that such events could lead to Kuala Lumpur becoming known as Asia’s vice centre.
In Malaysia, Zaid added, Muslims scholars “don’t like gays and liberals, although gays and liberals are God’s creations too”.
“They will continue to make you intellectually poor by stifling you, giving you no freedom to grow and develop your minds.
“London is the place for you to migrate to. Many Malays are already making their homes here. Bring your family out and join them.”
The former minister added that the hijrah was not a one-day celebration, but a commitment to seek a new life.
“It means seeking a place where you can find knowledge and prosperity for your family,” he said.
Although England was a “beer-loving country”, he said, it also produces well-educated men and women who contribute to science and the arts.
“They are inventors, who produce medicine, machinery, and so much more that makes life better for humanity.”
In Malaysia, meanwhile, there was no place for knowledge and scholarship, especially in matters of religion, he said.
“The people who talk about Islam in Malaysia are low-grade scholars, and many are mouthpieces of the ruling party.
“They are sycophants, not of the same calibre as the Mu’tazillah, the jurists and theologians of the Abbasiyah period who debated religious issues, such as the concept of tawhid or unity of God.
“They discussed the inherent difficulties of reconciling reason and revelation.
“They were not preoccupied with beer festivals or dress codes for women, or separate laundrettes for Muslims, although the revelry and festivities of the caliphates were well known,” he said, referring to other recent controversies including reports of a self-service launderette in Johor which has adopted a Muslim-only policy by limiting its clientele to Muslim customers.
“So I urge young Malays to plan their lives properly. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Malaysia is a sick Muslim country which teaches you the wrong things,” he said.

It´s all about respecting one another

It´s been a while since I last posted in here. Life has been kinda hectic. However, upon stumbling upon this article, I felt it a need to save it in here. 

There´s been so many issues going on all around lately. From the worsening politics in Malaysia to the ISIS and etc. This article - as you can read later - is about the Muslim students thinking and wanting issues bent completely to fully accommodate them alone. Upon the rejection, everyone cries discrimination and racism.

I wonder if they ever stop to ponder....... you are a "visitor" in a foreign land. It´s kinda like... someone invites you to their home, but you turn around and try to "enforce" your own rules and upbringing into their home, and then when the host denies you, you cry foul! So who is the one who is lacking of "brains" and "thinking mentality" at the moment? To think that you students have managed to go all the way to University level of education, I would expect that maybe to an extent you have a sense of logic within you.

Happy reading.

Muslim Students Demand Special Treatment, University Offers 8 Epic Words

Muslim Students Demand Special Treatment, University Offers 8 Epic Words
Along with two other colleges, the Technical University of Berlin has refuted Muslim students’ unreasonable demands.
After a group of Muslim college students began taking over a university’s “multi-faith” room, establishing gender segregation and allowing in only Muslims, the school decided to show that they wouldn’t be bullied by political correctness, issuing the perfect 8-word response in an official letter to the Islamic supremacists.
After abuse by Muslim students, campus prayer rooms which were meant for all faiths at the Technical University of Berlin have been shut down, along with prayer rooms at two other universities, the Technical University of Dortmund and the university of Essen Duisburg, prompting the Islamic community to cry “racism.” However, instead of cowering to the minority’s demands, the schools are standing their ground — and with good reason.
When confronted with accusations of discrimination and Islamophobia, TU Berlin President Christian Thompsen simply responded that “higher education and religion should be kept separate,” according to the Norwegian Defence League.
“It boiled down to the fundamental question — do we want religious facilities at our universities? I think higher education and religion should be kept separate,” Thompsen said. “Previously Muslims didn’t have much opportunity to practise their religion in Berlin. But now there are enough prayer rooms the students can use – perhaps not within walking distance, but a few stops away by bus. A prayer room at the university is no longer necessary.”
The decision came after Muslim men began driving out women and non-Muslims from one of the inter-faith prayer room, proving their tendency to abuse the tolerance so graciously afforded them in Western countries.
“The room was created in a time where the Muslim students had no place nearby to go for prayers,” Thomsen said to Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ). “The next places for Muslim students to pray may be not in walking distance, but with a bus it’s just two or three stations away.”
The universities also cited fairness, reminding that it would be bias to offer Muslims special treatment. Since it’s impossible to accommodate all beliefs, everyone will equally have no designated area specifically for religious worship.
“With more than 130 nations at our university, we can’t offer a room for every religion or culture,” the university added. “The room was installed in a time in which there were no places for Muslims to go nearby. This has changed in the past two decades.”
Of course, many of the Muslim students are dissatisfied with equality and demand tolerance while subsequently being intolerant of other faiths. Muslims had driven out other faiths and established Sharia gender apartheid, as is legislated in Islamic countries. However, they proceeded to complain that they were being discriminated against when the rooms, which couldn’t be used by anyone but them, were shut down.
The West needs to adopt the “abuse it, lose it” policy towards foreign cultures and faiths. If you cannot reciprocate the tolerance given to you, you are not worthy of tolerating. If you cannot respect those who’ve offered you respect, your demands will be refuted.
Muslims have proven in every country where they become a large minority that they are incapable of both practicing their religion and respecting other faiths, cultures, and laws. It is time for us to realize this incompatibility, not as a deficiency in our own democracy, but as their own unwillingness to coexist with us.

The Pastor´s Son

To those of you who call yourselves Christians, take your time to read this article and reflect on it.... because I know of some "Christians" who actually will react the way these Churchgoers reacted in the article.

If Jesus / God can forgive.... who are WE as sinners to condemn?

Original Article : The Pastor´s Son (Clickable Link)


The Pastor’s Son

Author Unknown


Like many inspiring movies and books, this short story may be fictional. However, the impact that this work will have on its readers is very real. Enjoy!


One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at her heart. She responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior.

The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. But, the change in her was evident. As time went on she became a faithful member of the church.

She eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children.

It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the eye and heart of the pastor's son. The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans.

This is when the problem began. You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor's son.


The church began to argue and fight about the matter. So they decided to have a meeting.

As the people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely out of hand.

The young woman became very upset about all the things being brought up about her past.


As she began to cry the pastor's son stood to speak. He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be. He began to speak and his statement was this:

My fiancee's past is not what is on trial here. What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin. Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial. So, does it wash away sin or not?



The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.


Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters.

Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely, then it cannot cleanse us completely.

If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble.

What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

I Believe

Monday February 16, 2015

Being a Chinese woman raised in a polytheistic environment, I used to think that Christianity was a Western religion or the "white-man´s religion". My thought was, We Asians have our own gods. Later, as a young believer in Jesus, I still wondered from time to time if I had forsaken my own roots and believed in a foreign god.

Over the years, however, I´ve had the opportunity to visit churches in China, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan and America. I´ve joined with believers across the whole world to sing familiar hymns and new songs of praise. And though worship styles may differ, I´ve seen that ultimately we worship the "only one God, the Father, who created everything" (1 Corinthians 8:6).

These experiences have helped me confidently testify that "I believe in GOd, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth" (taken from the Apostles' Creed). 

The Hebrew word for "Almighty" is El Shaddai. It means "the God who is over everything, the One who overpowers". He´s the maker of heaven and earth. In other words, His sphere of authority includes the entire universe.

I was once a polytheist - a person who believes that each race has separate gods with separate job descriptions for separate tasks. Then I became a henotheist - a person who believes that each god has certain sovereignty over a certain geography or ethnic sphere. But now, as a monotheist, I believe that there´s only one God before whom all tongues and nations must bow their knees, confessing that He is Lord (Philippians 2:9-10).

I know who I´ve believed in - the one true God. And I´m so thankful that He found me. I´m a member of His family with brothers and sisters in Christ around the world! - Poh Fang Chia

1 Corinthians 8:4-8
So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols : We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world and that there is no God but one. For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"), yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
But not everyone knows this. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat such food they think of it as having been sacrificed to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it is defile. But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

Acts 17:24-31
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not serve by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring'.
Therefore since we are God´s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone - an image made by man´s design and skill. In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead."

Question to Ponder
Are you certain of what you believe?
What will it take for you to have an even more confident faith in Jesus?
