obviously, one will want the best for their children, especially in education. Residential schools do produce generally better examination results, but some say it is due to dubious methods. However, for the moment, one can only enter MRSM which allocates 10% of the seats for the normal Malaysians, remaining 90% is for the obvious group. » Read more: residential schools still limited to other malaysians

My..my..my, when MCA talked about being vocal for the benefit of all Malaysians, no one would have expected them to use the the platform offered by PM – motion of thanks to the King for his royal address to drive in their point. First time in history, MCA were given the honor to thank the King. And what an earful it was!!! » Read more: MCA boss causes uproar in parliment by talking about conversion

TAIPING: P. Uthayakumar, one of the five Hindraf leaders being detained under the ISA, may be suffering from a heart ailment and should be referred to the National Heart Institute (IJN) immediately, his lawyer N. Surendran said.

He said an echocardiogram carried out on Uthayakumar by a specialist at the Taiping Hospital on Sunday found that his client’s heart muscle had been damaged, a condition referred to as “hypokinetic”.

“The specialist said this condition merits referral to IJN,” he told reporters outside the Kamunting detention centre on Tuesday.

Surendran claimed that despite Uthayakumar’s worsening, the authorities have failed to give him the proper attention and that he was contemplating filing legal proceedings.

After the Syariah legal experts’ statement saying that prospective convert need not inform their families first, Minister in PM’s Dept in charge of Islamic Affairs, Ahmad Zahid says that the converts may ONLY need to inform AFTER converting! Nasi sudah jadi bubur (No point crying over spilt milk)! The issue is how to prevent all the dubious conversion cases and misuse of religion to the convert’s favor. No point doing it after conversion since the convert can hide behind syariah law and do as he/she please., causing more heartbreak for the abandoned spouse. » Read more: Zahid says can inform after convert

These comedians based their points on the fact that:

Based on Syariah laws, there is no nas (quotations from the Quran to prove or settle a point) compelling a person wishing to convert to Islam to inform the family before doing so

Now, since the person haven’t convert yet, since when did Syariah laws need to be refered to?  This is the problem when these guys meddle in something which is not in their territory yet. This kind of forum should be held by alls the non-Muslim legals experts so that can represent the true parties – the PROSPECTIVE converts (while awake or in comatose).

Please don’t infringe on others’ rights. » Read more: JAKIM says no to convert informing kin
