OCEANBIRU: HAVE WE FORGOTTEN BURMA?

The tearing down of the Temair church in the remote jungle of Kelantan is not about the ownership of land.
It is about muscle flexing, a show of force by Islamists who believe in their religious “ketuanan” and have become untouchables.
Their days of their rhetoric have passed.
Who will be next?

Four Temiar are suing the Kelantan Government for demolishing their village church which they claimed was sited on ancestral land, a lawyer and activists said.
Lawyer N. Subramaniyan said authorities tore down the church in June last year, shortly after it was built by members of the tribe in their remote jungle village.
The village headman and three others challenged the state's PAS government in court, seeking a declaration that the land belonged to them and the demolishment was unlawful, he said.

Covert Islamists within the UMNO run government have not been slumbering.
Muslim moderates and the faithful of every other religion must repudiate them when they come begging during the coming months.

The High Court fixed Jan 29 to hear an application by the Evangelical Church of Borneo (Sidang Injil Borneo) for leave to sue the government over the seizure of religious books.
The government ordered the church on Oct 24 last year to stop importing children's religious books under six titles and had seized three boxes containing those books.
It deemed the books offensive because they contained four words used in Islam: "Allah", "Baitullah", "Solat" and "Kaabah".
The Kota Kinabalu-based church is seeking 16 declarations, including the right to use the word "Allah" in its congregation as well as in the translated Bible and that the action by the government to ban the usage of the four words was unconstitutional

Brain Damaged Champion for the Week.
Former Chief Justice of Malaysia Eusoff Chin.

The former Chief Justice (Eusoff Chin) had reportedly said: “When the man puts his hand on your shoulder, you can't simply shove it aside.” - when asked about his purported holiday with VK Lingam.

Chua Soi Lek had at least the decency to admit that he was guilty of indiscretion. He could have similarly used the same line of reasoning -- “When the woman puts her hand between your crotch, you can't simply shove it aside.”
Nice try Mr Chin, but the Warong kopi measures it as a lack of personal integrity and professional uprightness.
