Please pray for all who suffer

Posted on 11 November 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

Following the seizing of a Catholic Cathedral in this last week in which 44 people including 34 members of the congregation were killed, there have been more attempts in the past day. These latest attacks which targetted Christian homes in different neighbourhoods of Baghdad involved the use of two mortar…

The thing about viewpoints

Posted on 07 November 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

As I read a sports commentary on England vs NZ All-Blacks, it becomes quite clear how the view from an onlooker looking down from his seat in the terraces of Twickenham Stadium and that of a player on the field is really very different. “…a fast flat pass left from…

The prerogative of choice

Posted on 05 November 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

This we have to admire about the more established democracies: that there is no monopoly about which party will form the government of any level. The two or more main parties or coalitions of parties have reasonable chance. The people are not saddled effectively with just one choice. In recent…

Rising above ground, self and country

Posted on 15 October 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

The story of the restoration of the thirty-three trapped miners to their loved ones will live long in our memories and be amongst inspirational human stories which tug at our hearts and give us courage and encouragement in times of frail nerves and hopeless thoughts. The odds of being given…

Knowing how to give good gifts

Posted on 20 June 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

- a Father’s Day message Christians march to the tune of Christ. Where He sends, we will go. This was a lesson learned and executed by the paralytic whom Christ healed in Matthew 9.6,7: …he then said to the Paralytic—”rise, take up your bed and go home.” And he rose…

A mere whimper of a prayer

Posted on 01 June 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

My attempts late last night and early this morning at describing the meaning of Gaza and the plight of its people have all ended with neither coherence nor completion. Words fail. I could find no mind or talent or technique equal to the task. So much needs to be done…

We Don’t Take Such Money

Posted on 17 May 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

Regardless of the results of the Sibu parliamentary by-elections, the reported “special grants” of RM1.75 million to four Methodist churches on the eve of polling day is very troubling to me as a Christian who attends a Methodist church and I am sure to many other Christians. It is always…

Is KL really so far away from Sibu?

Posted on 12 May 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

If indeed it is true that there are people in Sarawak who feel that they live and function in a kind of cocoon, impervious to so-called ” national issues”, I respectfully ask that they should please think again. In recent times, because of climate change, we have had reports of…

Winning Is Only Glorious If You Play By The Rules

Posted on 25 April 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

As I write this at 9.00am on Sunday 25 April 2010, polling has just begun and of course the outcome of the by-election in Hulu Selangor is not yet known. Nevertheless, what is already known is the way in which the campaign had been conducted. A doctored picture of the…

Why does a Chicken cross the road?

Posted on 21 April 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

The short answer to that is “To get to the other side.” However, since chickens aren’t as simple-minded as they may seem to be, it may be necessary to ask a further question: “Why does the chicken feel it needs to go to the other side?” or “What does the…

Child Abuse is an Adult Crime

Posted on 01 April 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

Children are God’s most wonderful and precious gifts to us. The world may be run and monopolised by grown-ups but a world without children will be deprived of the unique ways in which children force us grown-ups to view, learn and understand the fundamentals of life.  The child’s perspective is…

The Discomfort of Getting Off the Fence

Posted on 15 March 2010 by Goh Keat Peng

No matter how uncomfortable a fence may be as an improvised seat, the alternative to sitting on it, that is, to get off from it may for many be not a very comfortable option. The human anatomy having got used to a certain position or posture may prefer to stay…
