Ahmadiyya decry JAIS attacks

P
ETALING JAYA: Local Ahmaddiyya Muslims are tired of being discriminated against, and want to challenge the state to a discussion on their stand as believers.

The Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS), according to Ahmadiyya spokesman Maulana Ainul Yaqeen Sahib, has worked hard to declare his community as apostates.

“JAIS has been attacking the Ahmadiyya through the media. Everything gets thrown against us. It’s not fair. They say we are not Muslims, and (at the same time) they don’t give us a chance to say anything (in return),” he told FMT.

Perkasa spewing new venom

P
erkasa, the ultra right wing movement, desecrated Deepavali day by spewing more than its usual venom at its second annual general assembly. Obviously, Perkasa activists had no Hindu friends to visit on that auspicious day.

It is a wonder that these toxic Perkasa people are not locked up on national security grounds and the keys thrown away for good. That is the only way to prevent them from infecting all good people in the country with their poisonous brew of half-baked theories, lies, politicised history, pseudo-science and racism.

Birds of a feather flocked together as Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali was joined by former IGP Abdul Rahim Noor and an assortment of various unsavoury characters with dubious pasts. These included Shazryl Eskay Abdullah, a masseur associated with the production of a pornographic tape, Kulim-Bandar Bharu MP Zulkifli Noordin, who got the boot from PKR for making racist outbursts too frequently, and former information minister Zainuddin Maidin, an Indian Muslim who was sacked as Utusan Malaysia editor.

Membazir: Upah orang asing naik imej Najib

K
UALA LUMPUR - Tindakan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak mengupah orang asing untuk menaikkan imejnya adalah membazir, sia-sia dan tidak adil.

"Jika benar Najib mengupah Alastair Campbell yang pernah menjadi ketua komunikasi bekas Perdana Menteri Britain, Tony Blair untuk menaikkan

imejnya dan wang rakyat digunakan untuk tujuan itu, ia bukan sahaja membazir dan sia-sia, malah amat tidak adil menggunakan wang rakyat

untuk kepentingan peribadi dan partinya," kata Naib Presiden PAS, Salahuddin Ayub.
