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.

Arrogance
Posted on 16 August 2010 by TK Tan
When I saw on Thursday Malaysian Insider’s editorial entitled “DAP’s cop-out” I thought that the DAP’s disciplinary committee had swept everything under the carpet over the Tee Boon Hock saga. Tee was sacked by the DAP as a member for issuing letters of support from Ronnie Liu’s office for his…

An Affirmation on Christian Witness
Posted on 12 August 2010 by Administrator
In the light of recent controversies over the issue of conversion it is pertinent to revisit a document that the CFM put together in 1996 that outlines its position on the matter of evangelism. This is a position that churches should study and teach as a standard of practice. This…

The Christian Federation of Malaysia is very concerned by the allegations of “forced” conversions of the Orang Asli people as reported by Aljazeera in their news item entitled “Malaysia ethnic tribes ‘forced to convert’” (see http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pacific/2010/08/2010886496589764.html)
Every Malaysian has the right to choose his or her religious…
MCCBCHST calls for a just solution on conversion ordeals
Posted on 09 August 2010 by Administrator
Conversion to another religion involves emotional and legal adjustments not only to the convert but also to their parents, spouses, children and other family members. As such, to convert in secret without due consultation with or making it clearly known to those the convert is intimately related to is surely…
Big fishes
Posted on 09 August 2010 by TK Tan
Last week when I read theSun’s article on the arrest of Tun Dr Ling (TDL) over the PKFZ scandal, one interesting bit turned up:
When asked about more arrests in January Abdul Gani had told theSun: “You don’t swindle that kind of money if you’re not a big fish. So…

Posted on 09 August 2010 by Rama Ramanathan
At the end of question time, I asked Deputy Minister Datuk Liew “What will you report to your boss, Datuk Seri Nazri about this meeting?” He replied, “the truth.” When I asked him to elaborate, he said “trust me,” plus a bit of fluff and added no specifics.
Last night,…

I Witnessed the Anti-ISA Protest
Posted on 02 August 2010 by Rama Ramanathan
I went to the anti Internal Security Act (ISA) protest at AMCORP Mall in Petaling Jaya tonight. One of my friends has been arrested for just being there.
