    Everybody should watch this trailer:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malala_Yousafzai

    It tells the brave story of Malala, the brave young girl from Pakistan who dared to defy the stupidity that is the Taliban who wanted Islam to rule over everyone and not allow young girls to go to school.

    Her advocacy for young women to receive education attracted their religious hate and more than 50 Islamic clerics issued a Fatwa against her for daring to get women educated.

    And what did those cowards do? They shoot a young innocent girl in the head cos their “god” probably told them to do so. Cowards!!! I tell you, stupid fucking cowards who fuck camels…

    This is why we need to keep our society as secular as possible and keep fairytales from entering our way of life.

    Utusan to Chinese envoy: Deal with prostitutes, not Petaling Street

    http://malaysiakini.com/news/313634

    Umno-owned Utusan Malaysia has lashed out at the Chinese ambassador saying he would do better to deal with his nation’s prostitutes than to meddle in the Petaling Street issue.

    This, the newspapers said in an opinion piece under the collective pen name Awang Selamat, was because Malaysia is allegedly flooded by sex workers from China.

    “(Ambassador Huang Huikang) should trust this country’s authorities to deal with the threat of illegal demonstrations at Petaling Street, which did not even happen.

    “It would be better if the ambassador gives more focus to the issue of large numbers of Chinese nationals in the prostitution and massage industry in (Malaysia) as the Chinese government is more stern in dealing with such matters in their own country,” Awang said in Utusan’s Sunday edition Mingguan Malaysia.

    The newspaper demanded an apology from Huang for the remarks made during his visit to Petaling Street on Friday.

    “Huang needs to apologise or return to his country and be replaced with another diplomat who has more courtesy.

    “Hopefully this will be the first and last violation by a Chinese diplomat. Do not be a busybody and go overboard,” said Awang, usually one of the daily’s senior editors.

    ‘We can interfere in China too’

    Huang had raised eyebrows after he visited Petaling Street on the eve of a planned protest there that was racially-charged and declared the Chinese government was against racial discrimination and extremism.

    In a statement yesterday, the Chinese embassy defended Huang’s visit, stating it was an act of goodwill in conjunction with the mid-autumn festival.

    However, Utusan described the remarks as “shameful” as the ambassador should have known his limits, adding that China too would not like any quarters to interfere in its domestic affairs.

    “Awang would like to remind China that it too faces many problems in the country and foreign diplomats including Malaysia can also interfere and comment on anything,” it said.

    Huang on Friday handed mooncakes to Petaling Street traders to celebrate mid-autumn or mooncake festival which falls today.

    However, his statement which appeared to be a subtle reference to the racially motivated protest at Petaling Street led by government-linked figures, surprised Putrajaya.

    Wisma Putra reportedly summoned Huang over his remarks and he is expected to provide his explanation to Malaysian officials tomorrow.

    Petaling Street, also known as Chinatown, was the site of a rowdy protest by the red shirts on Sept 16 and was broken up by the police’s federal reserve unit using water cannons.

    One of the frontmen of the red shirts, Sungai Besar Umno division chief Jamal Md Yunos, threatened another protest on Sept 26 demanding that Chinatown be opened up to traders of other races and accusing businesses there of selling fake goods.

    Jamal had alluded to riots if his demands were not met.

    He was arrested on Friday and the planned protest was subsequently aborted. img!

    ‘I WILL SLAP YOU IF YOU COMPLAIN TO CHINA’ - ‘KAMPUNG QUALITY’ UMNO MINISTER TELLS LOCAL CHINESE

    http://malaysia-chronicle.com/index....inese&Itemid=2

    Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Tajuddin Abdul Rahman has warned that he will “slap” the Chinese in Malaysia if they take their complaints outside of the country.

    “I want to warn the Chinese Malaysians, don’t think when you have a problem, you want to complain, just a little bit also complain so that there will be people to protect them.

    “Nak kena lempang macam itu (get a slap for that),” he told a press conference after officiating an exhibition in Kuala Lumpur today.

    The Umno supreme council member called on the Chinese to stop “fantasising” that external powers would defend them.

    “Chinese people in Malaysia, don’t fantasise that there will be a big boss coming, that there will be a Godfather coming from China to help them.

    “Don’t fantasise like that,” he stressed.

    The Pasir Salak MP said Chinese ambassador to Malaysia Huang Huikang’s visit to Petaling Street last week was just to protect tourists from China who visit Malaysia.

    “When he said ‘protecting his people’, he doesn’t mean Chinese Malaysians. Why should he interfere? I would also get angry if he interfered.

    “The Chinese ambassador said his statements were misconstrued, he had no intentions of interfering with our domestic affairs, no intentions of defending the Chinese here,” he added.

    Yesterday, Huang said his visit to Petaling Street on Friday should not be made into an anti-Malaysian government issue.

    The ambassador insisted that his visit was to show solidarity with the locals and to find out if there were safety concerns before deciding to issue a travel advisory notice to tourists from China. - M’kini img!

    Malaysian PM warns over ISIL influence

    World Bulletin / News Desk

    Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on Thursday warned that his country and international community would not tolerate any form of violence and extremism committed by ISIL.

    Razak said Malaysia condemns what he called ISIL’s blatant misrepresentation of Islamic teachings, when it says the sadistic brutality, torture and murder of innocent men, women and children were justified.

    He made Malaysia’s stand at the Leaders’ Summit on Countering ISIL and Violent Extremism at the United Nations in New York.

    “Renounce your virulent creed of hate, violence and extremism and be guided back towards the righteous path, or face the consequences,” he was quoted as saying by The Star Online.

    The Summit was hosted by U.S. President Barack Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden.

    As the chair of the Southeast Asian nations grouping ASEAN this year, Razak said Malaysia is leading the region towards combating all forms of extremism, including the possible spreading of ISIL beliefs in the region.

    “We must make pre-emptive arrests if necessary and if there is irrefutable evidence, to save innocent lives,” Razak said, referring to over 100 people detained in recent months by the Malaysian police, all suspected of having inclination towards ISIL.

    He underlined that Malaysia’s law enforcement and security agencies have been working quietly to combat the menace.

    Collaboration with international law enforcement agencies has been strengthened, especially in intelligence gathering.

    Razak said Malaysia was aware of ISIL’s fast-spreading influence in cyberspace, thus proposed that ASEAN countries’ government must come up with an organised strategy to counter the lies being spread by the ISIL online supposedly in the name of Islam.

    Malaysia is also exploring the potential of establishing a regional digital counter-messaging communications centre to combat ISIL efforts. img!

    Be brave like ISIL fighters, Najib tells Umno

    KUALA LUMPUR, June 24 — Umno must emulate the bravery of a Middle Eastern militant group that defeated an Iraqi force outnumbering it nearly 30 to one if the Malay nationalist party is to survive, Datuk Seri Najib Razak said yesterday.

    The Umno president and prime minister was listing virtues that were needed to allow the Malay nationalist party to continue in power, during a dinner to commemorate the 20th anniversary of its Cheras branch yesterday.

    “For example, when someone dares to fight to their death, they can even defeat a much bigger team.

    “As proof — whether we agree or not is another matter — the group ISIL with the strength of just 1,300 people, can defeat an Iraqi army of 30,000 soldiers, until four, five generals with three, four stars run for their lives, jump out the window at night. Why? Because they are afraid of those who are brave,” he told more than 1,000 Umno members in attendance.

    He also stressed the importance of being loyal to god, the party, and friends.

    Najib said having wisdom and foresight in battles as well as the ability to organise is also crucial in strengthening the party.

    The Islamic State of Iraq in the Levant (ISIL) is a splinter group of al-Qaeda that wants to set up an Islamic caliphate encompassing both Iraq and Syria.

    ISIL is viewed as a terror organisation by authorities both here and abroad.

    A Malaysian suspected of being a member of ISIL was believed to have been the suicide bomber who killed 25 members of an Iraqi police team last month.

    Earlier this month, three local men were arrested by police for suspected links to ISIL.

    The things Singaporeans take for granted, no alalalalalehlong like killing chicken in morning to wake you up.

    PKR Youth: All states must also ban mosque loudspeakers

    PKR Youth urges all states to emulate the Penang Islamic Council’s ban on the use of loudspeakers by mosques other than to broadcast the azan.

    The Penang Mufti Office in a letter on Sept 1 said the edict by the state fatwa committee to ban the use of loudspeakers other than for the call for prayer, will be gazetted soon.

    “Respect for each other must be encouraged, given Malaysia’s multicultural and multi-religious nature.

    “Thus, we support the fatwa by the Penang mufti based on the spirit of maqasid syariah (the objectives of the syariah).

    “In fact, it should be used as an example for all other states in Malaysia,” PKR Youth religious bureau representative Wan Ji Wan Hussin said.

    Wan Ji, an Islamic scholar, said Islamic teachings dictate that no other matters should be broadcast from a mosque besides the call for prayer, for the express purpose of reminding believers to pray.

    Similarly, he said, non-Muslims should also avoid practices which disturb others unless it is something that is compulsory in their religion or culture.

    “If Muslims respect non-Muslim practices involving loud noises, then non-Muslims in this country must likewise respect the azan.

    “We pray that the spirit of respect among religions and races in this country goes on, for the sake of our future,” he said. img!

    Child marriages not rare in Malaysia with 15,000 underage brides, activists say

    How fucking disgusting are these assholes!!! Should chop off their pedo dicks! I don’t care what your religion say but pedophilia is just universally wrong.

    KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 — A coalition of eight gender equality groups denounced today the government’s attempt to gloss over the issue of child marriages in the country as a rarity.

    Citing statistic from United Nations’ reports, the Joint Action Group for Gender Equality (JAG) said there were as many as 15,000 Malaysians who were married off before the age of 19, contrary to the low figures given by the prime minister’s wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor at a function in the US yesterday.

    The group highlighted that there is an even more worrying trend in the country, especially in poorer states, to marry off young girls to their rapists.

    “In addition, in East Malaysia where poverty is higher… many girls are still married off at a young age. Child marriages are definitely not rare in Malaysia,” JAG said in a statement.

    National news agency Bernama has reported Rosmah as telling an international group at the Ford Foundation breakfast meeting yesterday that the incidence of child marriages was rare in Malaysia due to good education and low poverty rate.

    “The enrolment of boys and girls in primary education is 99 per cent while about 70 per cent of girls are now enrolled in universities,” Rosmah was quoted as saying.

    Citing the United Nations Human Rights Council’s resolution to end child marriage, the coalition urged the government to acknowledge the issue and give a more accurate picture on it.

    In Malaysia, the legal minimum age for marriage under civil law for both genders is 18, with marriages involving those under this age requiring consent from the state mentri besar or chief minister.

    Islamic laws here places the legal marrying age for Muslim boys and girls at 18 and 16, with girls aged below 16 allowed to be married off with the consent of the Shariah court. img!

    1MDB controversy turned into racial conspiracy to divert attention, says former Special Branch deputy chief

    http://www.themalaymailonline.com/ma...ntion-says-for

    KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 4 — The racially-tinged claim of a purported conspiracy to overthrow the ruling government is a tactic to shift the public’s attention from the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) controversy, says former deputy chief of the police’s Special Branch Datuk Abdul Hamid Bador.

    Abdul Hamid reportedly alleged that this bid to confuse the public is meant to halt ongoing investigations on the state-owned firm.

    “In line with that effort (to stop the investigations), they are confusing the public by conjuring a stale script that there is supposedly a conspiracy to topple the government, which doesn’t make sense.

    “Who wants to topple the government? Supposedly it’s the Chinese who are taking power?” he was quoted saying in an open letter by news portal Malaysiakini.

    In his October 1 letter directed at the government, Abdul Hamid reportedly claimed that this was a “wicked” tactic to turn a matter of alleged “criminal breach of trust” into a “racial issue”.

    Abdul Hamid also reportedly claimed that there have been attempts to hamper local investigations into the 1MDB controversy, including through the removal of Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail as Attorney-General, the arrest of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers and the disruption of investigations by Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and a special government taskforce.

    The taskforce has since been disbanded and rebranded into a new taskforce that does not include a specific probe on 1MDB as one of its brief, while the PAC’s probe will only resume after the replacement of its chairman and several members who have been made ministers and deputy ministers.

    The controversy surrounding 1MDB spilled over to Putrajaya, when the US-based Wall Street Journal cited government investigations in its report of the alleged movement of almost US$700 million (RM3.1 billion) through 1MDB-linked entities into Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s accounts, which the MACC has said is a donation by a Middle Eastern source.

    Following a Cabinet reshuffle in late July that saw Umno leader Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin losing his deputy prime minister post over what some suspected to be his vocal views on 1MDB, speculation of a purported plot to remove Najib Razak as prime minister cropped up but later died down.

    The Bersih 4 rally on August 30 and 31 for institutional reforms was declared illegal by the government while the leader of organiser Bersih 2.0, Maria Chin Abdullah, was reported calling for Najib’s removal through a vote of no confidence in Parliament.

    Critics of the Bersih 4 rally claimed that it was dominated by the Chinese, while Najib later explained on September 18 that it was declared illegal because it was planned as part of an alleged bid to topple the administration by demonstrating in a place where preparations were being held for the Merdeka celebration.

    Najib recently said that a counter-rally on September 16 by red-shirt participants in favour of Malays and him was allowed to go on as it was not aimed at toppling the government, among other reasons.

    1MDB is currently under investigation for corruption and mismanagement domestically as well as by various authorities in several countries, including Hong Kong, Switzerland and the UK.

    Go ahead and slap the Chinese if you have the guts, Dr M tells Umno deputy minister

    http://www.themalaymailonline.com/ma...-umno-deputy-m

    Umno’s Pasir Salak MP Datuk Tajuddin’s off-the-cuff remark appears to have riled up even his political allies in Barisan Nasional.

    KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 3 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today scoffed at an Umno leader who is getting flak after saying the ethnic Chinese should be “slapped”, and challenged Datuk Tajuddin Abdul Rahman to carry out the act.

    The former prime minister was visibly amused when asked for his view on the “lempang” remark by the Pasir Salak MP

    Lempang is a Malay term to describe the act of slapping.

    “Lempang? Ask him to lempanglah. It’s easy to say. When we have the government backing us we are brave, but outside we are not brave,” he said dismissively at a news conference.

    Tajuddin had initially accused news portal Malaysiakini — which first ran a story on his remark — of misquoting him in its story but later claimed he merely said it in jest, after an audio recording was posted online.

    The agriculture and agro-based industries deputy minister said he did not fear any disciplinary action from his party over the incident as he had not issued any inappropriate statement in an official capacity.

    However, Tajuddin’s off-the-cuff remark appears to have riled up even his political allies in Barisan Nasional, with both MCA and Gerakan saying they will issue a formal protest note and ask the coalition leadership to punish the Perak lawmaker.

    Tajuddin’s remark was ostensibly in response to a comment by Chinese ambassador to Malaysia Huang Huikang in Petaling Street last week, that Beijing would not hesitate to speak out against any threat that may affect the country’s ties with Malaysia, in commenting on the communal tension here.
