		<description>"Everybody is free to make SD. The issue is why drag Allah’s name and his holy book just to prove someone innocence. In this world follow Allah’s rule and justice will be served. Those that transgress will be dealt with by Allah in the hereafter"

As a MUSLIM we must believe in ALLAH so if Saiful believe that he is RIGHT and he can DEPENDS on ALLAH why can we?? 
So your statement here means that PAS is not relevant as anything any transgress will be dealt with by ALLAH in thereafter??

Therefore We must not brings ISLAM in POLITICs, we must banned PAS as they are dragging ISLAM,ALLAH and ALQuran in their POLITICS PRINCIPLES.


Again what i stress before is if you are MUSLIM then you must belief in ALLAH so tahe an OATH in ALLAH name an clear up your name.. if you dont do it because because you afraid of your political future then may ALLAH help you..

		<description>Hello shrek apa yg saya pertikai adalah berkenaan akidah seseorang.. Si saiful itu bersumpah dgn nama ALLAH bukan atas nama AlQuran.. TOlong baca betul2.. Apa yang saya ingin jelaskan sini adalah jika Anwar juga mengangkat sumpah dengan nama ALLAH maka secara automatiknya PENGAKUAN BERSUMPAH Saiful akan di neutralisekan.. 

BErkenaan Raja PEtra perbuatan dia itu boleh dianggap sebagai fitnah kerana dimanakah bukti-bukti semua tuduhannya itu?? Sampai sekarang saya masih menunggu bukti-bukti Raja PEtra itu.. Siapa yg bersalah jika dapat dibuktikan oleh Raja Petra memang patut dihukum tetapi dimanakah bukti-bukti itu?? Jika sekadar menuduh dan memfitnah dgn mengarang cerita yang menarik itu semua bukan bukti.. jika hanya berdasarkan cakap orang itu bukanlah juga bukti..sama seperti saya beritahu bahawa isteri kamu shrek curang dgn kamu main dengan bos nya di office..jika saya tak bagi bukti adakah kamu percaya?? Mesti tidak..

Berkenaan Dr Myanmar itu benarkah laporan itu seperti yg dilaporkan?? Adakah dia berkelayakan? Dan jika dia betul-betul benar kenapa terpaksa lari keluar negara?? Takutkan polis?? Bukankah sekarang semua ahli PKR dan DAP akan mempertahankan dia?? Dimanakah etika dia sebagai DR profesional denagn mendedahkan laporan perubatan seorang pesakit?? Bukankah senang Dr itu berlindung di kedutaan Myanmar atau di rumah Limkit siang atau rumah Anwar? Di sini juga org boleh mempertikaikan kredibility Dr Myanmar itu kerana dia memang pernah terhutang budi dgn Anwar jadi dimana kesahihan SD itu??
Saya sudah bertanyakan kepada jururawat yang secara tidak langsung terlibat semasa Saiful pergi ke PUSRAWI apakah yg di buat oleh Dr Myanmar itu kepada Saiful?? Dia beritahu hanya pemeriksaan biasa sahaja Dr Myanmar tu tak buat pun pemeriksaan menyeluruh pun dan tambah jururawat itu lagi apabila Saiful beritahu perkara sebenar maka Dr Myanmar itu terus berhenti membuat pemeriksaaan. Jadi jika Jururawat itu membuat SD adakah org ramai akan percaya??

Bagi saya sekrang ni nampak sangat terlalu banyak fitnah yang dilayangkan dari pihak Anwar daripada daripada pihak BN.. tapi alhamdulillah mujur pihak PAS masih rasional dan berpegang kepada ISLAM.. 

Keseluruhan isu ini apa yg saya ingin tahu kenapa tak bersumpah sahaja atas nama ALLAH kerana sebagai seorang MUSLIM jika segala ikhtiar dah tak ada maka mesti kembali kepada ALLAH dan Rasulnya.. 

Dan sekarang ini semua org memperlihatkan Anwar sebagai MANGSA kerana Saiful membuat laporan polis terhadapnya itu betul tetapi fahamkah anda semua bagi saya sekarang ini dalam situasi ini yg mana Anwar menuduh saiful menipu maka sekarang ini SAIFUL adalah MANGSA YG DITUDUH maka semamng sepatutnyalah dia membuat pengakuan MUBAHALAH atau apa2 tapi yg penting dengan nama ALLAH.. 

Saya tak kisah dan tak tuduh sesipa pun yg sebenarnya bersalah malah jika anwar didapati bersalah di mahkamah di Malaysia ini kita masih boleh anggap mahkamah malaysia tidak adil dan wujudnya konspirasi..
tetapi saya harap juga ANWAR BERSUMPAH DENGAN NAMA ALLAH supaya saya dapat lihat HUKUMAN YG AKAN ALLAH TURUN KAN KEPADA SESIAPA ANTARA MEREKA BERDUA YG BERSALAH.. ADIL KAN.. JIKA ALLAH YG JATUHKAN HUKUMAN TIADA SEORANG MANUSIA PUN YG DAPAT MENGELAK DIRI DARIPADA HUKUM ALLAH.. maknanya jika anwar tak bersalah dan dihukum penjara sekali pun jika dia BENAR maka ALLAH akan jatuhkan HUKUMAN kepada Saiful.. 

Di sini saya meletakkan kepercayaan saya kepada HUKUM dan KEADILAN ALLAH.. Malah pada pendapat saya jika seorang MUSLIM itu tidak percaya ALLAH boleh memberi KEADILAN maka jatuhlah hukum MURTAD ROSAK AKIDAH orang itu.. ini boleh di rujuk kepada semua ULAMA..

		<description>Iskandar

Everybody is free to make SD. The issue is why drag Allah's name and his holy book just to prove someone innocence. In this world follow Allah's rule and justice will be served. Those that transgress will be dealt with by Allah in the hereafter. 

This practice of swearing on the Quran has degraded the Quran into another plaything for Muslims in Malaysia. Allah did not bring down the Quran for such purpose but for mankind to seek guidance and learn from it.  I bet you that Saiful don't even understand the meanings of the various verses in the Quran, yet readily swear by it. Sia sia sahaja.

Tiada siapa mempertahankan mati matian Raja Petra dan kawan blogger beliau. Anwar dan penyokong mempertahankkan keadilan dan hak manusia bercakap benar dan juga menentang kezaliman, pembunuhan, penyelewengan, korupsi dan salah guna kuasa yang bermaharajalela diMalaysia sekarang ini.

Mungkin Iskandar bernasib baik dan tak terlibat dengan segala tindakan kerajaan sekarang, tapi cuba bayangkan sekiranya Iskandar dalam posisi Dr Myanmmar itu. Satu hari saorang pesakit datang keIskandar minta dirawat kerana susah nak berak. Iskandar sebagai doktor professional menjalankan rawatan. Sesudah rawatan sipesakit memberi tahu Iskandar dianya diliwat. Apa agaknya tindakan Iskandar.  Sesudah membuat laporan rawatan yang saperti biasa Iskandar di lawati Polis dan diancam dengan segala ancaman untuk menukar laporan rawatan Iskandar yang mana Iskandar tahu dengan jelas adalah benar.  Sanggup kah Iskandar menukar Laporan Rawatan Iskandar? Sanggupkah Iskandar dipermainkan oleh pihak Polis? Harap Iskandar dapat menjawab dengan benar dan berpandukan shiar Islam saperti doktor Myanmmar itu.</description>

		<description>Great piece Doc!  

We know Anwar will win the Permatang Pauh by-election hands down despite the dirty tactics set up by the bunch of desperados . Their calculated moves with the help of police to get Saiful to 'swear by the Quran' aided by mainstream media/tv stations for maximum adverse effect to discredit Anwar, has backfired. 

Too late for them. Anwar is unstoppable now, we know he will walk into Parliament on 27 August 2008 with head high!</description>

		<description>In many ways, even the oppressed Americans underwent what we, the rakyat are going through in these challenging times .....  

----------------------------------
The I Have a Dream Speech
----------------------------------
 
In 1950's America, the equality of man envisioned by the Declaration of Independence was far from a reality. People of color — blacks, Hispanics, Asians — were discriminated against in many ways, both overt and covert. The 1950's were a turbulent time in America, when racial barriers began to come down due to Supreme Court decisions, like Brown v. Board of Education; and due to an increase in the activism of blacks, fighting for equal rights.

Martin Luther King, Jr., a Baptist minister, was a driving force in the push for racial equality in the 1950's and the 1960's. In 1963, King and his staff focused on Birmingham, Alabama. They marched and protested non-violently, raising the ire of local officials who sicced water cannon and police dogs on the marchers, whose ranks included teenagers and children. The bad publicity and break-down of business forced the white leaders of Birmingham to concede to some anti-segregation demands.

Thrust into the national spotlight in Birmingham, where he was arrested and jailed, King organized a massive march on Washington, DC, on August 28, 1963. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, he evoked the name of Lincoln in his "I Have a Dream" speech, which is credited with mobilizing supporters of desegregation and prompted the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The next year, King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

The following is the exact text of the spoken speech, transcribed from recordings.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

 
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. They have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.

As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied, as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating "For Whites Only". We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.

Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.

I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring."

And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!

Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!

But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!

Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"</description>

The next year, King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.</p>
<p>The following is the exact text of the spoken speech, transcribed from recordings.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.</p>
<p>Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.</p>
<p>But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.</p>
<p>In a sense we have come to our nation&#8217;s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.</p>
<p>It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked &#8220;insufficient funds.&#8221; But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God&#8217;s children.</p>
<p>It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro&#8217;s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.</p>
<p>But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.</p>
<p>We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. They have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.</p>
<p>As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, &#8220;When will you be satisfied?&#8221; We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied, as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro&#8217;s basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating &#8220;For Whites Only&#8221;. We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.</p>
<p>I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.</p>
<p>Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.</p>
<p>I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.</p>
<p>I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: &#8220;We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.&#8221;</p>
<p>I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.</p>
<p>I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.</p>
<p>I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.</p>
<p>I have a dream today.</p>
<p>I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.</p>
<p>I have a dream today.</p>
<p>I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.</p>
<p>This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.</p>
<p>This will be the day when all of God&#8217;s children will be able to sing with a new meaning, &#8220;My country, &#8217;tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim&#8217;s pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.&#8221;</p>
<p>And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!</p>
<p>Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!</p>
<p>Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!</p>
<p>But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!</p>
<p>Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!</p>
<p>Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.</p>
<p>And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God&#8217;s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, &#8220;Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!&#8221;</p>

		<description>I do not know how many millions are spent worldwide yearly to improve forensic science so that, among other things, criminals can be brought to justice. Our government has just announced to the world that that branch of science and learning is superfluous.</description>

		<description>Hang on a minute here. The results of the recent elections do not mean that on the night of 7th. March, Malaysian politics were sectarian and communitarian and that on the morning of the 8th. we suddenly became "non" the two entities. On that fateful night almost half the country voted to say they were sick and tired of the country being mismanaged. 

Before we have our non-sectarian and non-communitarian politics we need a new government to reflect that election. This is going to be a long process as the ongoing struggle shows. In the meantime we simply cannot afford a "free this and a free that" bonanza. This will only lead us in the opposite direction. Example? The recent Bar Council fiasco.

Let us allow the political uncertainty to settle down. Hopefully it will usher in a new dawn for all Malaysians. With this will come ample opportunities to debate on issues that need to be addressed - opportunities that have been denied to us for far too long.

We should rightly be wary of politicians who use policies of restriction and "sensitivities" as a smokescreen for insidious use. We should be equally wary of being misled by the beguiling attractions of the numerous "freedoms" on offer at the moment.

We have waited three decades. A little while longer will not make much of a difference if it means maintaining a peaceful Malaysia.</description>
