JUST FOR LAUGH ! Marina Mahathir on the
National Anthem
Marina Mahathir on Negara Ku ......Interesting!
She really made a very good point here, read on!
A comment posted on Marina M's blog in response to an article on the issue.
National anthem : Negaraku
NEGARAKU
Negaraku, tanah tumpahnya darahku,
Rakyat hidup, bersatu dan maju,
Rahmat bahagia, Tuhan kurniakan,
Raja kita, selamat bertakhta,
Rahmat bahagia, Tuhan kurniakan,
Raja kita, selamat
bertakhta.
Some
self-appointed defenders of Islam including the chief of "1Malaysia "
have insisted that Catholics should use "Tuhan" instead of "Allah" to
address the Catholic or Christian God. But in the national anthem, "Tuhan" (not "Allah") bless the country (...Tuhan kurniakan...).
How now ?!!. If Malay-Muslims are that easily confused as portrayed by some
politicians, they must be thinking that Malaysia is blessed by the
Catholic/Christian God, and the Muslim God "Allah" is perpetually on
leave. Perhaps, this confusion may cause the government to change the
national anthem by replacing "Tuhan" with
"Allah" But then again, non-muslims will not be allowed to sing the national anthem. Then it would be non-muslims turn to be confused. If this issue goes to the courts, even the judges will get kepala pening.
So much for "1 Malaysia "!. Malaysia Boleh! There are 2 Allahs in Malaysia. What a joke....Absurd Triviality of M'sian Leaders and this is pretty funny and confusing. Nazri nows says "Allah" OK for East Malaysia ! Here
are some funny bloggers' comments. We can laugh to keep our sanity in this crazy country !
Blogger A:
Let me try to understand what Nazri means: If
you are an East Malaysian Christian residing in East Malaysia , you
can use the word 'Allah'. But if you are a West Malaysian Christian
residing in West Malaysia , you cannot use the word 'Allah'. If you are
an East Malaysian Christian working in West Malaysia , you cannot use
the word 'Allah'. However, if you are a West Malaysian Christian
working in East Malaysia , it is alright to use the word 'Allah'. But
if you are either East Malaysian or West
Malaysian Christian
on a plane that has just taken off from East Malaysia to West
Malaysia , you cannot use the word 'Allah'. Similarly if you are
either East Malaysian or West Malaysian Christian on a plane that has
just taken off from West Malaysia towards East Malaysian, you now can
start using the word 'Allah'.

Welcome to 1 malaysia , 2 Bibles
Blogger C :
Welcome to 1 Malaysia , 2 Allahs (East M'sia & West M'sia)
Blogger D:
In-flight announcement before take-off in East Malaysia ."Ladies
& gentlemen, please fasten your seat belt; put your seat upright
and leave your "Allah" behind.....we're going to West Malaysia yeah !"
Blogger E:
Can
the Christian Sabahans and Sarawakians in the Peninsular, of whom
there are many, not use the word Allah here? Does that not sound
idiotic ?Whenever someone in the Peninsular uses the word "Allah", do
we have to check his IC to confirm if he is an authorised user
?Christians all over Malaysia were told to pray even harder so that the word ALAMAK is not banned. Christians
now worry that UMNO-BN leaders would think ALAMAK is the mother of GOD !! I cannot understand how we can become so stupid.....
