Well then

What's the worst thing that can happen to me?

Having an online meeting at 3 a.m. when it is Eid tomorrow.

Grand mufti? Someone thinks not

Who is it to decide whether or not someone has the authority to talk about religion?

Apparently man does, and not God. So says the Mufti of Perak.

One could not help but ask: does he feel threatened by the proposal? If it goes through, then his post will be no more. And instead of different states having different Islamic rules, the whole country will have a single reference point.

It seems that Harussani is advocating 'divide and conquer'. States have their own powers in regard to Islamic affairs, but I sense that most people will agree - one mufti is enough.

White is for what?

"Those white lights on the rear of a car is the signal light, right?" said a friend of mine.

"Pardon?" I could not believe my ears.

"The white lights, they are signal lights, isn't that so?"

"No, they are reverse indicator lights."

"Oh."

I took a good look at him.

"And you passed your driving test?"

Remembering the Dead

It is Boxing Day.

Two years ago, the devastating tsunami wreaked havoc upon the countries bordering the Indian Ocean. The effects resonated worldwide. More than 200,000 souls were lost in the space of a few hours. It was the talk of the world for months and months. In our country alone, 75 lives were lost.

Let us remember, lest we forget. Let us pray to God that such a catastrophic event will never happen again. Let us rebuild and live our lives which was so suddenly disrupted and turned upside down by this massive disaster.

It's that time of the year again

25th of December is just around the corner. So is January 1st. Apart from a visit planned on Monday, I don't have anything else in my mind. Welcome to my boring life.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
