He has shown all you people what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly before your God.
- Micah 6:8And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly before your God.

MLK and Yasmin
Posted on 28 July 2009 by Administrator
At the end of Yasmin Ahmad's Gubra is a parallel scene in which a father and son are kneeling in church, reciting the Lord's Prayer, and a mother and daughter (I think), clad in telekung and reciting prayers.
Mystery Deaths Require Transparent Investigation
Posted on 28 July 2009 by Administrator
The young man fell to his death, a key witness in a corruption investigation. The coroner gave an open verdict, ruling that the death could have been murder, but could also have been suicide, an opinion upheld by the High Court. This isn’t a crystal ball prediction. This was the…
Yasmin Ahmad: Storyteller & Filmmaker Extraordinaire
Posted on 28 July 2009 by Bob Teoh
Yasmin Ahmad
(1 July 1958 – 25 July 2009)
I was shocked by a scurrilous attack on the late Yasmin Ahmad by Kosmos, the tabloid published by the Utusan Melayu Group.
It was not only in bad taste but thoroughly wicked coming one day after her burial.
This is the…
Psalm 42:11
Posted on 27 July 2009 by Peter Young
‘Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God.’ (Psalm 42:11, New International Version)
Sometimes we need to give ourselves a good scolding! But also we must provide ourselves with the…
Model Sentence
Posted on 27 July 2009 by Peter Young
Unfortunately, ‘MODEL SENTENCE’ does not refer to English grammar! Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarnor, 32, a part-time model pleaded guilty to consuming beer at the Cherating Bay Lounge of the Legend Hotel in Cherating at 11.40pm on July 11th. She was charged under Section 136 of the Pahang Administration of the…
Farewell, My Friend
Posted on 23 July 2009 by Hannah Yeoh
I’m going to share a personal story with all of you here. Back in 1990, when I was still in school, I received news that my favourite uncle (mom’s brother) had injured himself from a fall while working. He was admitted to SJMC and hours later, he passed away. My…
Still Room For Cautious Optimism In Teoh’s Death
Posted on 23 July 2009 by Bob Teoh
The Cabinet decided Wednesday afternoon to empanel a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the death in custody of Teoh Beng Hock. Instead of being greeted by a collective sigh of relief, it raises serious doubts over the extent of the intended probe.
Indeed DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang whose…
CCM Youth: Death By Detention?
Posted on 21 July 2009 by Administrator
CCM Youth refers to the articles, commentaries, joint statements and various public responses recounting the shocking death of an MACC witness, Teoh Beng Hock, under dubious circumstances. CCM Youth is not only horrified and outraged, but deeply ashamed and bewildered.
This tragedy yet again adds another nauseating leaf to our…
Angry In Malaysia
Posted on 21 July 2009 by Soo-Inn Tan
“My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly…
In Memory Of Teoh Beng Hock
Posted on 21 July 2009 by Tricia Yeoh
Much has already been said about the death of the late Mr. Teoh Beng Hock, political aide to Selangor State Government Exco member YB Ean Yong, and I understand the great anger and sadness being expressed by the public to this effect. I do not know whether what I will…
An Open Letter To A Muslim Journalist “Spy”
Posted on 20 July 2009 by Martin Jalleh
Saudara,
I just read that recently you and a friend visited one of the churches that I belong to. I was surprised that you had to do it in disguise. You should have told the Catholic community there that you were coming and we would have given you a grand…
Going About Things The Wrong Way
Posted on 20 July 2009 by Administrator
The Christian Federation of Malaysia deeply regrets the surreptitious manner in which information was gathered for, and the publication by the magazine Al Islam of, the article entitled “Tinjauan Al Islam Dalam Gereja: Mencari Kesahihan Remaja Murtad” in its May 2009 edition where the “investigators” took it upon themselves to…
