whats the fuss about?

I was born in a very small town in Seberang Perai where chinese is the main population.
Malays and Indians considered minority in town. Well, our numbers are quite big but most of the malays stays in kampung while indians in estates. chinese right smack in town.
But you know despite of having chinese conquering the town, we have mosque and hindu temple not far from each other.
I'd say about 10 minutes walk? But never. Never in my life, during my childhood or throughout my teen years that we ever fight about the worship place.
Hindus can peacefully perform their prayers tho main road sometimes jam because cars were not parked properly but thats about it. Same with the muslim. This coming Hari Raya going to cause a bit jam in town due to Raya prayers but its a normal thing when it comes to festive season. Its not an everyday thing.
I believe that we have to tolerate a little bit in order to coexist.
If you say the sound of bell of a hindu temple annoying then what about the sound of azan? or the sound of those who recited quran?
As for chinese? They did not make a fuss over this that i know of. Oh besides temple and mosque, my town also have churches and chapel.
There's one in my residential area. about five minutes walk from my house.
It was my playground when i was young.
I snuck in to play the swing.no one say anything about it.
Chinese everywhere in my residential area. Would be hard to miss them.
There's indians too even though its not many but we are fine. So I a bit confuzzled about all the fuss created by Section 23 residents in Shah Alam.
Read this. Shah Alam Section 23
Whats wrong with having temple there?
Wake up! we live in a multiracial country. Do not be selfish. Stop complaining and be thankful that we are not restricted in perfoming our prayers or going to god worship place.
I love my country well i know it sounds a bit cheesy but I do love my country. And i love our diversity. I love the fact that we are multiracial. There;s no problem before, and should be maintained that way. Respect is the word for us to keep and to hold.

This is hilarious

Okay.
Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim has never failed to amuse me.
If I'm not mistaken it was two weeks ago that he announced the planning of filtering the internet to curb porn content.
Now he made another comment which got me laughed out loud sampai tak nampak mata.
A singing Mat Rempit Datuk Seri?
Read here
Of all other stuff that they can do to make use of their past time, you encourage them to sing?
I mean, I have nothing against music, singing but singing at stall?
I mean what kind of comment is that?
These Mat Rempits when caught should be put to rehabilitation centre yes indeed.
That is my opinion.
Give them some skill.
Get them into farming or the basic computer skills or some bengkel perbaiki motorsikal or kereta.
Something which useful.
Want to help them? Thats how.
Come on Datuk Seri, think before you speak.
Oh one more thing.
Can you please pick up your phone?Or get your assistant to hold it for you?
It's kinda hard to get you even by SMS.
Oh, I understand Datuk Seri, you are a busy man but so do other Menteris who take time to reply the SMSES.

Why are you being so RUDE, YB?

Do you need to be rude to get your message across YB? Were you not taught when u were young on how to respect others?
This is a first time someone told me that I do not deserve to get his comment but being a journalist, its my duty to ask question.
And it came from someone who's job is to serve the public!
I am not sure what got him so riled up was it because my race? my religion? my profession? or my gender?
He didnt even let me finish my sentence during both of my calls.
Is that how you make decision YB?By not listening to others?
Whatever it is YB, please have some manner when talk to others, do not talk to them like they are lesser human being.
After all I do talk to you in a very good manner.
Not everyone like you but I have somehow has lost respect for YOU.
