A PRAGMATIC STEP FORWARD.

Star-Forming Region in the Carina Nebula.


In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?



A pragmatic step forward in regaining both justice and trust for non Muslims and right thinking moderate Muslims.
This move will surely mean more votes in the poll boxes of the Umno Run Federal Government.
Let justice be shown for Indra Ghandhi and her 3 children and may that invertebrate-coward of her ex husband be castigated.

The Cabinet has decided that children be raised in the “common religion at the time of marriage” should one of their parents convert. Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Abd Aziz said a spouse who had converted into Islam would also have to fulfil his or her marriage responsibilities and sort out issues according to civil marriage laws. “Religion should not be used as a tool to escape marriage responsibilities. Conversion is not grounds for automatic dissolution of a marriage,” he told a press conference at Parliament House yesterday.Nazri said the principles would apply to any disputes resulting from conversion, not necessarily just for conversions to Islam.

"GOOD GRIEF"!.

1st meeting for Najib and perhaps this is but a harbinger of things to come ..... an unexpected ending.
"An unexpected ending" - that was the description by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak over the postponement of the 14th Asean summit and related summits when he walked into the press conference with the Malaysian media here Saturday.
When asked how his day had been, he said: "It has been a frustrating day. I was absolutely prepared to meet them (the other leaders at the summits), I was looking forward to meeting them.
"Unfortunately, that couldn't take place. We were unsure what was going to happen next, so I was in a state of flux," he said.
During his watch, he lost Penang to PR and now he is task to watch and re-direct the performances of each Cabinet Minister in the UMNO run Federal Government. Good Grief !
Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon has defended his appointment as Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, saying that it was not done through the “back door.”
Dr Koh has been put in charge of unity and monitoring the performance of ministers.
On being teased that his new role was akin to being a school prefect, Dr Koh said each minister would be a prefect, adding that such a role was acceptable as long as he was fair, firm and friendly.
On his task of monitoring ministers, Dr Koh said he had spoken to six ministers yesterday morning and hoped to do so with the rest by early next week.
