Thinking Aloud - Khusrin, Interlok, MPSJ's Islamic action

1. Datuk Mohd Khusrin has already taken the oath as the Selangor State Secretary in front of The Sultan of Selangor and the Menteri Besar. The fact that the Menteri Besar had attended the oath taking ceremony itself was tantamount to agreeing to Khusrin’s appointment. And now, the Menteri Besar is saying that he is not accepting Khusrin as the State Secretary. What a joke!


2. Why hurt Malaysian Indians’ feelings by proposing the ‘Interlok’ novel, with that degenerative word, for use by students for literature- study. Malaysian Indians like to forget that old humiliating word. See, I, too, am not mentioning that word! I want to forget it. And here are arguments that, this book, with that word, can help in uniting the all the races in Malaysia. What nonsense!


3. The Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) did right in banning Muslims working in entertainment outlets serving liquor. This is nothing new and does not come as a surprise. There had already been negative comments about Muslims handling liquor, for some years now. Now the MPSJ has been brave enough to propose a ban. It is not necessary to make a big deal out of this.
