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.

Thought for the week
Posted on 12 May 2010 by Administrator
Malaysian Chinese, what more do you want? What do I want? Justice. Compassion. Honesty. Competence. Fairness. For everyone. And this is what I want, not as a Malaysian Chinese, but as a Malaysian.
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…
Deadly Silence
Posted on 19 April 2010 by Peter Young
On 15th and 16th April 2010, the local press reported another serious case of child abuse. A 3-year-old child was battered to death on Tuesday, 14th April. The initial findings of a post-mortem revealed that Jasmine Lee’s body was covered with more than 60 injury marks – indicating that she may…

Jesus Christ Crucified, Raised, Exalted – His Father’s “Amen”
Posted on 07 April 2010 by Peter Young
During his short public ministry, Jesus Christ (who often called himself the Son of Man) made many astounding claims concerning himself, all of which were foretold in the Old Testament. If I were to make these claims about myself, I would either be admitted into a mental health ward or,…
Good Friday – Why Good?
Posted on 01 April 2010 by Peter Young
On Friday 2 April 2010, Christians will be remembering what happened on that first Good Friday – THE HEINOUS CRIME OF CRUCIFYING JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD. Why, then, do we refer to that day as ‘GOOD FRIDAY’? To answer this question, we must ask two further questions: WHO…
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…
The Discomfort Of Sitting On The Fence
Posted on 04 March 2010 by Goh Keat Peng
Of all the places one can think of, the fence must be about the most uncomfortable place on earth to sit (or perch) on. To sit on the fence for a while may be alright but certainly not for long. Fences will poke and scratch us in our most tender…
Pakatan Rakyat (PR) – Perform Or Perish
Posted on 18 February 2010 by Peter Young
The latest edition of Aliran has an interesting article on the Opposition Coalition. It praises PR for their good governance, for their contribution to Parliament and for winning 5 out of the 7 by-elections – all this in spite of UMNO’s efforts to destabilise and destroy PR.
However, there is…
Lilliputian Democracy
Posted on 03 February 2010 by Vinoth Ramachandra
Imagine that you live on the lovely island of Lilliput. Like its namesake in Gulliver’s Travels, Lilliput is inhabited by a small people: mostly small in stature and mental outlook, small and insignificant in the world of nations. Your island, too, as in Gulliver’s Lilliput, is ruled by a self-styled…
The Interests Of Others
Posted on 25 January 2010 by Peter Young
Anas Zubedy shares with us his understanding of Muslims and Christians within Peninsula regarding the use of the word Allah. I have sought to summarise part of his article by creating four headings. The views expressed under each heading are extracts from the author’s article.
