This post is going to be in Malay. If you want to read it in English, please go directly to the original source where I get it from: StewardJohn – Malay Priest from Singapore? Totally Fake!

Ahah, tiba-tiba pagi ini dapat tahu kisah sebenar pasal Paderi Melayu yang telah diwar-warkan dengan hebat dan jayanya di Facebook.  Bukan setakat di Facebook, blogger pun ramai yang post. Aku siap dapat emel yang diforward lagi. Maka sudah pastilah kena menulis dalam bahasa Melayu pasal kalau tak nanti ada je orang-orang Melayu yang tak faham kalau aku guna bahasa penjajah dengan jayanya. Miahaha! laughing

Nah, ini adalah gambar yang telah digembar-gemburkan sebagai “Paderi Melayu” yang sampai di Singapura, konon-kononnya sedang giat berusaha untuk memurtadkan Melayu di Singapura dan Malaysia. Terus semua Meleis tanpa berfikir panjang menekan butang “Share” di Facebook. Ada yang tekan butang “Like” tak? tongue

Kebenaran sebenarnya (the truth is.. OMG it sounds so different when translated), ini adalah gambar dua paderi dari Sabah dan Indonesia yang berbangsa Cina dan Kadazan. BUKAN MELAYU.

Quote dari sumber asal berita ini adalah:

“The 2 priests in the picture is Rev. Fr. Paulus Toni Tantiono OFM Capuchin from Pontianak, Kalimantan  and currently teaching Bible Study in Seminari Tinggi Permatang Siantar Sumatera Utara, Indonesia and the other priest standing at his back is Rev. Fr. Nicholas Stephen from Penampang, Sabah and currently serving at St. John’s parish Tuaran, Sabah. Fr. Paulus is a Chinese descendent while Fr. Nicholas Stephen is a Kadazan descendant.“

Hah! Mana datang Melayu nya? Nama pun dah sah-sah bukan Melayu. Mana datang Razman Zakri tu? Korang ni memanglah. Tengok orang tu hensem-hensem Melayu sikit (macam..err..oklah macam Munir. Aku tak hensem comel je muahaha! tongue) pakai jubah paderi, terus korang Melayukan ek? Itu memang Cina dan Kadazan lor! Ho liau!

Aku bukanlah nak cakap yang aku ni menyokong paderi memurtadkan Islam ke hape, tapi sebelum percaya bulat-bulat benda dari Internet ni, lain kali research dulu! Selidik betul-betul! Ini tak. Suka-suki korang je buat fitnah sana sini. Niat nak menambah pahala konon-kononnya di bulan puasa, turns out jadi dosa je korang. Paling-paling kurang jadi dosa menipu.

Kita selalu marah bila dengar rakyat US yang menyamakan orang-orang Muslim sebagai pengganas atau terrorist. Agak – agak korang apa yang orang Kadazan atau orang Cina tu rasa bila mereka di”melayu”kan sebegini rupa? Dahlah tiba-tiba jadi Melayu, lepas tu digambarkan sebagai seorang pendakwah yang menggunakan sihir pulak tu? Fuhh siap diequip dengan Holy Water (+10 defense, +10 attack power) tuuu!!!

Memang nice combination laa untuk menakutkan orang Melayu ni: paderi + air Holy Water + gambar + cruel intention to destroy our creed. How dense and how stupid can we be to believe Internet rumours? WTF? *sigh*

Konklusinya, bukan sebab paderi atau holy water yang menyebabkan seseorang Melayu boleh murtad. Kekurangan iman dan ilmulah yang membuatkan sesiapa pun boleh terpesong dari landasan sebenar. Percaya bulat-bulat, silap-silap beri fakta yang salah, boleh membawa kepada peperangan dan berbunuhan. Hah, bila dah berbunuhan tu, nak salahkan siapa? Bulan Ramadhan bukan ke syaitan dah kena ikat?

Review: Jodi Picoult – Plain Truth

September 2nd, 2010 by [re-arrange] 2 comments »

It’s been a while since I review a book, eh? Here’s another review about a novel that I’ve managed to complete last two weeks – Jodi Picoult’s Plain Truth. I’ve bought it online last two months if I’m not mistaken, and only managed to complete it quite recently.

The story begins with a scene describing an eighteen years old Amish girl delivering a baby by her own self in a barnyard at two o’clock in the morning. She managed to deliver the baby, cut the cords, and cuddling her baby; and then she felt asleep due to exhaustion. She prayed that the baby would be gone since it is conceived out of wedlock, and nobody knew that she’s been pregnant. When she woke up some hours later, the baby is gone.

It seems that her prayers have been answered. Or did they?

A few hours later, when the morning sun has beautifully shine the farm, the child’s body is found – lying dead covered in hay — and of course, Katie Fisher is the prime suspect in murdering her own child.

Or did she?

This novel has beautifully described the Amish community; a group of devoted Christian that lived in a traditional way without technology and even electricity. The mindfuck factor in this novel is: how can a devoted Christian girl be willingly having sex and be pregnant out of wedlock, and even goes further by murdering her own child? It reveals the most misguided emotions of human and how does a mother would react in protecting her child, maternal issues, and it also goes beyond that – it argues about neonaticide instinct in a mother.

Somehow, someway, I would recommend this book to those kids who have been throwing away their babies on the street. It reflects how a religious community can still be misguided and how love can be misinterpreted into something physical act that leds to another. Not only that, it also describes how certain mothers would do anything just to get a baby – which is being portrayed by the character Ellie, Katie’s defense attorney.

Jodi Picoult as usual makes her novels to be gripping at the start, slowing down in the middle, add more conflicts while nearing the end, and ended it with a bang and twisted closing. If you have been enjoying “Keeping Faith”, or “Nineteen Minutes”, then this book follows that kinda trend of writing. The advantage of this book is that the ending is so unexpected winking

It’s not so depressing, but it can give you mindfuck momentarily. Suitable to be read while in stress (since the issue of maternity can be quite soothing and it is slow), and it is not so stressing compared to other book like Sister Keeper’s. Yeah, it’s introduction is gripping that you will not let go in the first five to six chapters, but then the middle is quite slow you can break the reading into multiple days. But again, the ending might make you goes WTF! laughing

So, mommy, mommy-to-be: this can be a good read for you too. Jamie, maybe this book will give you a different perspective on parenting.  Dils, wanna try? Disclaimer: Not suitable for those pregnant woman. Nad, tunggu kau bersalin boleh la baca kot. Kang anak kau mengikut ke terkenan ke aku tak bertanggungjawab! laughing

What’s The Meaning of a Reversed-Peace Sign?

September 1st, 2010 by [re-arrange] 13 comments »

Yo nigga! picture: credit to Uncyclopedia

A reversed peace sign might be a cool or cute gesture especially when you’re snapped for a picture. I’ve seen a lot of pictures that gives the reversed peace sign, no matter by guys or girls (some of the pictures are nice pictures e.g of iftar, or after Terawih?) I won’t deny that sometimes I do that gesture myself too. I understand what I’m doing, but do you really understand what does it really mean, actually?

It actually means “Up yours” or “Fuck you“. It is similar to the middle-finger sign. Yes, you’re actually cursing whenever you’re trying to be cute. LOLOLOL laughing

No, I’m not kidding and this is not a joke. This is serious business. This is true in United Kingdom and US, and even being accepted as the correct insulting gestures in China. Quoting from the Uncyclopedia:

The Chinese consider it to be the retarded brother of the normal Peace Sign and have adapted it to mean Fuck you.

The outward-palm V sign is still acceptable and that mean “peace” or “victory”. But the reversed of it — you better watch yourself if you’re in someone else country! You don’t want people there to chase you away or may even hit you! LOL.

Tak puas hati lagi?

Here’s another explanation in a more reliable source, Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_sign#Inverted_V_sign_as_an_insult

According to a popular legend the two-fingers salute and/or V sign derives from the gestures of longbowmen fighting in the English army at the Battle of Agincourt (1415) during the Hundred Years’ War. The story claims that the French claimed that they would cut off the arrow-shooting fingers of all the English and Welsh longbowmen after they had won the battle at Agincourt. But the English came out victorious and showed off their two fingers, still intact. Historian Juliet Barker quotes Jean Le Fevre (who fought on the English side at Agincourt) as saying that Henry V included a reference to the French cutting off longbowmen’s fingers in his pre-battle speech.

So, are you actually being cute, or you’re actually being rude? tongue

Cute, or rude, or about to be killed? (Credits: Uncyclopedia)
