Making The Right Decisions .........

ONLINE MEDIA STATEMENT
===============




We would like to convey the following:

1. Ghazali Sheikh Khalid, the Malaysian Ambassador to US, has been involved in the scandal with Jack Abramoff and associates in the US to receive bribes amounting to USD1.2 million from the Malaysian Government then for setting up Dr Mahathir's meeting with Bush in year 2002. So, Ghazali is a corrupted official and does not deserve to represent Malaysia in the US. Also, he is Dr Mahathir's cohort. Why is Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi re-electing him for this post? We strongly urge the US Government to protest on this re-assignment.

2. We oppose the amendment to the DNA Act that allows the Police or any other authority to forcefully take the DNA sample of a suspect in criminal cases or any other case for that matter. This is a violation of the individual rights of a human being. A human being should be treated with respect and dignity. So, if the suspect gives his/her DNA sample willingly, then that is alright.

The way that the PDRM, AG's Chambers, lawyers and the Judiciary in Malaysia are acting, we do not see that the preparation and test of the DNA sample will not be abused and tampered with. Without rampant snatching of one's DNA sample, the 'bad hats' in the Government cannot frame innocent people in Malaysia.

3. We are against the opinion of Dr Mashitah Ibrahim that allows one to make loans to perform the Haj or Umrah. It is not right to do so since Allah s.w.t. has decreed that performing the Haj is mandatory only for those who are able to do so. Furthermore, performing the Umrah is only optional. Whereas, Dr Mashitah Ibrahim is teaching the Muslims to learn making loans just like drinking water. For this purpose, it is wrong. What if the person after performing the Haj or Umrah dies before completing the loan repayment? Would that put more burden on the deceased and his/her family in this life and the Hereafter? Do not burden the Muslims in Malaysia with what Allah s.w.t. has made easy for them.

Think seriously and deeply about this, Dr Mashitah, and do not follow your whims and fancies. No wonder the Government can use the 'Islam Hadhari' label to insult Islam. Look at all these advisors around the PM. What a shame?

End Statement.

Best Regards.........
