Malaysia is not meant to be an Islamic nation?

i think because of the advertisements :-[ .

ok.... me too... especially those who advertise some health products...

why...I think harakah is "liberal" than other newspaper....

From my viewpoint, Harakah has been critical of the government. But that is exactly what the current government needs; healthy doses of criticism. Otherwise it will regard everything it does as right and correct.

I am not a supporter of any political parties or ideologies. However, as a Muslim, I have the duty to support, defend and fight for Islam. Whichever party fights for Islam has my vote. But that party must have substance than what is essentially superficial. Rather than painting new colors for highway lighting poles and causing massive traffic jams as a result, I would rather the authorities spend more resources tackling social issues and building infrastructures that would have benefitted the downtrodden. Instead of building a large wheel for people to ride on gondolas and look at the nice view of KL, I would rather they prevent the recent toll & petrol price hikes and ease the burden of the middle- and low-classes. That is what I meant by substance.

Agreed. Just look at the TV stations:

Government-owned (RTM1, RTM2)
UMNO-owned (TV3, NTV7, 8TV, TV9)
Pro-BN owned (Those channels on astro and MiTV)

Just look at the newspaper... MCA, MIC, UMNO have shares in almost all the newspapers..

But there's a little bit of criticism allowed in current PM's era....

I am not a supporter of any political parties or ideologies.

Me too. But my father is a PAS member, and my mum is a Keadilan member. And 90% of my relatives are UMNO supporters.

I would rather the authorities spend more resources tackling social issues and building infrastructures that would have benefitted the downtrodden.

Me too...:enough!:

Instead of building a large wheel for people to ride on gondolas and look at the nice view of KL,

They rent it for RM 30,000,000.00 a year. Yeah, and they rent it just for one year... why they can do this and others money-wasting projects without consulting the public first?

I would rather they prevent the recent toll & petrol price hikes and ease the burden of the middle- and low-classes.

And the rich people who are not affiliated to any BN political parties..

Speak for yourself, orang penang... heh heh. ;D ;D

I'm so poor. My study loan hasn't been credited and I'm trying to survive solely on grass right now. Just kiddin'

 

[Bittersteel]

we got a similar situation here in Bangladesh,where everything Islamic is equalled to be Pakistani/Taliban/Middle-eastern.

Study loans, PTPTN and stuffs .... when a person graduated from the university automatically he need lots of money to settle his study loan..

Imagine... if those RM30,000,000.00 rent price of that ferris-wheel is given to the students in a public university, it can support 1,000 students (RM30,000 per student)

I browsed the wikipedia and found something .... interesting.... that our father of independence, Tunku Abdul Rahman (Malaysia's first Prime Minister) said:

i dont know who this fella is but if he did make that comment , he must have been a joke.

 

[north_malaysian]

He's a British educated person. Like almost all of our leaders are.
