TUHAN telah memberitahu kita apa yang baik.
Perkara yang dituntut oleh TUHAN daripada kita adalah supaya kita berlaku adil,
selalu mengamalkan kasih, dan dengan rendah hati hidup bersatu dengan Allah kita.
- Mikha 6:8Perkara yang dituntut oleh TUHAN daripada kita adalah supaya kita berlaku adil,
selalu mengamalkan kasih, dan dengan rendah hati hidup bersatu dengan Allah kita.
The EO6: Six thoughts on the day after their release
Posted on 30 July 2011 by Rama Ramanathan
I am happy. The EO6, six members of PSM, the Socialist Party of Malaysia, six people immorally detained by my government, have been released.
I am exhausted. I have thought deeply about why the EO6 were detained, why they might have been detained for much longer and why they have…
Will you help them see the light?
Posted on 27 July 2011 by Rama Ramanathan
God said “let there be light.” And it was so. Likewise, the Home Minister in Malaysia may say “Let him be detained forever.” And it will be so. The EO makes men into gods. The EO makes members of the ruling elite into gods.
So what is the EO? It’s…
Dr Jeyakumar, the EO6 and the healing at Bethesda
Posted on 19 July 2011 by Rama Ramanathan
While the Malaysian government is immorally and wrongfully detaining Dr Jeyakumar, I’m pondering the work of another physician. I’m pondering a healing performed by the Messiah, described in the gospel of John (Jn 5:1-18). It’s about the healing of a man who, for 38 years, had been unable to walk.…
Jeyakumar and the EO6: Silent in the face of injustice?
Posted on 16 July 2011 by Rama Ramanathan
In this post I want to speak about Dr Jeyakumar, the EO6, Samy Vellu and Malaysia as a nation; please bear with me as I begin with what may appear to be a diversion.
Where were you on Sunday 09 March 2008? I was at a Sunday service, a gathering…
Why am I attending vigils for Dr Jeyakumar and the EO6?
Posted on 14 July 2011 by Rama Ramanathan
Last night I was again outside the HQ of the Malaysian Police. I keep wondering why I go. It’s as if I’ve been possessed. I know I will not enjoy anything else I attempt to do between 8 and 9 pm daily. I’m struggling to understand myself. Things came to…
Spare a thought for policemen
Posted on 11 July 2011 by Rama Ramanathan
The pictures, videos and eye-witness accounts are in. The police set up barricades to prevent people from marching in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday 9 July 2011. The police turned up in force. They were equipped with tear gas, water cannons, shields, sticks. They fired tear gas and water cannon to…
History Books: Seeing the two ladies
Posted on 23 May 2011 by Rama Ramanathan
Last week I learned from a Sikh that the textbook in use now in Malaysian schools (Form 4) says something like “according to Christians, Christianity was founded by the Prophet Jesus.”
I say “something like” because I could not take notes; we were sitting elbow to elbow and I could…
Reflections on Maundy Thursday
Posted on 25 April 2011 by Rama Ramanathan
I declined an invitation to join a 10 pm conference call on Thursday. I told the chairman it was Maundy Thursday. He asked me “What is Maundy Thursday?”
Here I will provide a brief summary of what Christians remember about Christ every year on Maundy Thursday. Then I will discuss…
Sarawak: What More Can We Ask For?
Posted on 02 April 2011 by Rama Ramanathan
My brother and I were on a jambu tree. We were munching on the crunchy red fruit. Life was good. Sweet juice was running down our chins, cheeks and hands. We thought we had chosen our positions carefully. We thought we would not be food for red ants. We were…
Am I interested in Sarawak?
Posted on 28 March 2011 by Rama Ramanathan
I consider my home to be Kuala Lumpur, in West Malaysia. Today, someone asked me whether I am interested in Sarawak, a state in East Malaysia. I thought it a strange question. Malaysia has thirteen states and three Federal Territories; I was born in one of them, have lived in…
Oracle of an Arab Palestinian Christian from Jerusalem
Posted on 14 March 2011 by Rama Ramanathan
Palestinians claim that in 1948 they were tricked into leaving their homes and lands and have been unjustly prevented by Israel from returning. Many worldwide believe that because Palestinians are Arab-Muslim-Terrorists, their claim is false. Many associate Palestinians with PLO and Hamas, with hijackings, assassinations, bombings.
Also, many perceive that…
A big, angry, restless horde
Posted on 24 January 2011 by Rama Ramanathan
I went to a stadium on Sunday to hear about the appointment of the State Secretary of Selangor. I didn’t know who would be speaking. I just knew it was an event organized by concerned citizens. I know some of the people behind the event; some who belong to SABM…
