สรุปข่าวร้อนสะเทือนอเมริกา
#ผมหายใจไม่ออก

⚫️ ใครคือ "จอร์จ ฟลอยด์"
:
1- "จอร์จ ฟลอยด์" (George Floyd) เป็นหนุ่มแอฟริกัน-อเมริกัน อายุ 46 ปี เขาเป็นคุณพ่อลูกสอง เกิดและโตที่รัฐเท็กซัส เคยเรียนที่มหาวิทยาลัยเท็กซัส เอแอนด์ไอ โดยเขาเป็นนักกีฬาฟุตบอลและนักบาสเกตบอลมหาวิทยาลัยด้วย

2- ในปี 2007 ฟลอยด์ถูกจับในข้อหาปล้นทรัพย์ และในปี 2009 เขาถูกตัดสินจำคุก 5 ปี เมื่อพ้นโทษออกมาในปี 2014 ฟลอยด์ก็ย้ายจากเท็กซัสมาอยู่ที่เมืองมินนีแอโพลีส รัฐมินนิโซตา เพื่อหางานทำและเริ่มต้นชีวิตใหม่

3- ฟลอยด์ทำงานถึง 2 อย่างในเวลาเดียวกัน ทั้งขับรถบรรทุกและเป็นการ์ดของบาร์แห่งหนึ่ง ด้วยความสูง 200 ซม. ทำให้คนที่นี่เรียกเขาว่า "บิ๊กฟลอยด์" แต่เมื่อโควิด-19 ระบาด บาร์และธุรกิจหลายอย่างต้องหยุดชะงัก ฟลอยด์ก็พลอยตกงานไปด้วย

—————
⚫️ การตายของจอร์จ ฟลอยด์
:
4- คืนวันที่ 25 พ.ค. 2020 พนักงานร้านโชห่วยแห่งหนึ่งโทรแจ้งตำรวจ หลังสงสัยว่าฟลอยด์พยายามจะซื้อของในร้านด้วยแบงค์ 20 ดอลลาร์ปลอม

5- ตำรวจ 4 นายมาถึงที่เกิดเหตุและจับฟลอยด์ใส่กุญแจมือ แล้วผลักเขาให้นอนคว่ำหน้าลงกับพื้น ก่อนที่นายตำรวจร่างใหญ่คนหนึ่งจะใช้เข่ากดลงบนคอของเขาและทิ้งน้ำหนักตัวลงไป ใบหน้าซีกหนึ่งของฟลอยด์ถูกกดจนแนบลงไปบนพื้นถนน

6- ระหว่างนั้นฟลอยด์พยายามร้องบอกตำรวจด้วยความสุภาพว่า "คุณตำรวจครับ ผมหายใจไม่ออก ผมปวดท้อง ปวดคอ ปวดไปหมดทุกอย่าง ขอน้ำดื่มหน่อยครับ ได้โปรด ได้โปรด อย่าฆ่าผม"

7- ตำรวจคนนั้นสั่งให้ฟลอยด์ลุกขึ้นและเดินไปขึ้นรถตำรวจ ทั้งที่เขายังใช้เข่ากดลงบนคอของฟลอยด์อยู่

8- คนที่เดินผ่านไปมาเริ่มหยุดดูเหตุการณ์ และหลายคนถ่ายคลิปเอาไว้ พวกเขาพยายามบอกตำรวจว่าฟลอยด์กำลังจะตาย เลิกกดคอเขาไว้ได้แล้ว และเขาก็ไม่ได้มีท่าทีขัดขืนอะไรเลย

9- แต่ตำรวจก็ไม่ฟัง ยังคงใช้เข่ากดคอฟลอยด์อยู่อย่างนั้นนานถึง 8 นาที สุดท้ายฟลอยด์ตะโกนเรียกแม่ออกมา (แม่ของเขาเสียชีวิตเมื่อ 18 เดือนที่แล้ว) ว่า “แม่ครับ ผมหายใจไม่ออก” (Mama, I can’t breathe) ก่อนจะหมดสติไป ฟลอยด์ถูกนำตัวส่งโรงพยาบาล แต่พบว่าเขาเสียชีวิตตั้งแต่ก่อนถึงโรงพยาบาลแล้ว

⚫️ สี่ตำรวจถูกไล่ออก
:
10- คลิปที่ตำรวจกดเข่าลงบนคอฟลอยด์จนเขาหมดสติกลายเป็นไวรัลอย่างรวดเร็ว ตำรวจพยายามอ้างว่าฟลอยด์ขัดขืนการจับกุม แต่ต่อมาก็มีอีกคลิปโผล่มาเป็นพยานให้ฟลอยด์ ว่าเขาไม่ได้มีท่าทีขัดขืนอะไรเลย ที่สำคัญตำรวจยังไม่รู้ด้วยซ้ำว่าฟลอยด์ทำผิดจริงหรือไม่

11- เหตุดังกล่าวทำให้คนจำนวนมาก ไม่ว่าจะเป็นคนดำหรือคนขาวไม่พอใจเป็นอย่างมาก โดยมองว่าตำรวจทำเกินกว่าเหตุ และปฏิบัติกับฟลอยด์ราวกับเขาไม่ใช่คน

12- ประเด็นการเหยียดสีผิวถูกหยิบยกขึ้นมาพูดถึงอย่างดุเดือด เพราะเป็นที่ตั้งข้อสังเกตกันมานานแล้วว่า ตำรวจปฏิบัติต่อผู้ต้องสงสัยที่เป็นคนดำรุนแรงกว่าคนขาวหรือไม่

13- วันที่ 27 พ.ค. ตำรวจทั้งสี่นายที่ทำการจับกุมฟลอยด์ถูกไล่ออกทั้งหมด ได้แก่

- เดเร็ค (Derek Chauvin) อายุ 44 ปี ซึ่งเป็นคนที่ใช้เข่ากดคอฟลอยด์

- เจ อเล็กซานเดอร์ (J. Alexander Kueng) อายุ 34 ปี

- เถา เต้า (Tou Thao) ตำรวจอเมริกันเชื้อสายเอเชีย (ม้ง)

- โธมัส เลน (Thomas Lane)

⚫️ "ผมหายใจไม่ออก" ประโยคนี้มีประวัติ
:
14- ประโยค "ผมหายใจไม่ออก" (I can't breathe) ที่ฟลอยด์พร่ำพูดก่อนตาย ยังกลายเป็นคำที่ทำให้ชาวอเมริกันจำนวนมากรู้สึกเจ็บปวด เพราะย้อนไปในปี 2014 "เอริค การ์เนอร์" (Eric Garner) ซึ่งเป็นชายผิวดำถูกแจ้งจับข้อหาขายบุหรี่หนีภาษีที่นิวยอร์ก และตำรวจผิวขาวจับกุมเขาด้วยการล็อกคอไว้กับพื้น

15- การ์เนอร์พร่ำบอกตำรวจว่า "ผมหายใจไม่ออก" ถึง 11 ครั้ง แต่ตำรวจก็ไม่ยอมปล่อย จนการ์เนอร์ขาดอากาศหายใจและเสียชีวิต โดยตำรวจที่ก่อเหตุก็ไม่โดนลงโทษใด ๆ แถมยังได้เป็นตำรวจต่อด้วย

16- เมื่อเกิดเหตุฟลอยด์ซ้ำรอยขึ้นมาอีก คำนี้ก็จุดประกายความเจ็บปวดในวันนั้นขึ้นมาอีกครั้ง และผู้ประท้วงได้นำคำนี้มาใช้เพื่อเรียกร้องความเป็นธรรมให้กับฟลอยด์และคนดำทุกคน

—————
⚫️ การประท้วงบานปลาย
:
17- อย่างไรก็ตาม แค่การไล่ตำรวจทั้ง 4 นายออกยังไม่เพียงพอ คนต้องการเห็น 4 คนนี้ โดยเฉพาะนายเดเร็คถูกจับดำเนินคดีข้อหาฆาตกรรมด้วย ชาวเมืองมินนีแอโพลีสนับพัน ทั้งคนดำ-คนขาว พากันออกมาประท้วงจนคุมสถานการณ์ไม่อยู่

18- ผู้ประท้วงพากันไปที่บ้านของเดเร็ค จนตำรวจต้องรีบยกกำลังไปรักษาความปลอดภัย ในขณะที่ผู้ประท้วงอีกส่วนไปที่สถานีตำรวจ ขว้างปาก้อนหินใส่ พ่นสีเป็นข้อความประจาน และจุดไฟเผาอาคารร้างใกล้สถานี

19- นอกจากนี้ยังมีมิจฉาชีพฉวยโอกาสนี้ออกมาปล้นร้านค้า ร้านอาหาร ห้างสรรพสินค้า จนเกิดจลาจลไปทั้งเมือง ตำรวจต้องระงับเหตุด้วยการยิงแก๊สน้ำตาและกระสุนยาง ผู้ว่าการรัฐรีบประกาศไม่ให้ชาวเมืองออกจากบ้าน

20- ส่วนในโลกออนไลน์ก็เกิดแฮชแท็กต่าง ๆ เพื่อเรียกร้องความยุติธรรมให้ฟลอยด์ อาทิ #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd (ความยุติธรรมเพื่อจอร์จ ฟลอยด์), #icantbreathe (ผมหายใจไม่ออก) และ #BlackLivesMatter (ชีวิตคนดำก็มีค่า)

21- ล่าสุดประธานาธิบดีสหรัฐฯ "โดนัลด์ ทรัมป์" ได้ออกมาทวีตยืนยันว่า เขาได้สั่งการให้เอฟบีไอและกระทรวงยุติธรรมเข้าไปสืบสวนคดีนี้แล้ว และจอร์จ ฟลอยด์ จะต้องได้รับความยุติธรรม

22- ในขณะเดียวกันผู้คนจำนวนมากก็พากันไปยังที่เกิดเหตุ เพื่อวางดอกไม้ ภาพวาด และจุดเทียนไว้อาลัยให้กับฟลอยด์

23- เพื่อนสมัยเรียน เพื่อนร่วมทีมกีฬา และเพื่อนร่วมงานของฟลอยด์พูดตรงกันว่า ฟลอยด์เป็นคนสุภาพ เงียบขรึม แม้จะตัวสูงใหญ่แต่เป็นคนอ่อนโยนจนได้รับฉายาว่า “Gentle Giant” (ยักษ์ผู้อ่อนโยน)

—————
⚫️ ถูกตั้งข้อหา-เมียขอหย่า
:
24- ล่าสุดเมื่อวันที่ 29 พ.ค. เดเร็คถูกตั้งข้อหาฆาตกรรมโดยไม่เจตนา ส่วนอีก 3 คนที่ถูกไล่ออกพร้อมกันยังอยู่ระหว่างสอบสวน อย่างไรก็ตาม แม้จะมีการแจ้งข้อหาเดเร็คแล้ว แต่การประท้วงซึ่งบานปลายไปแล้วก็ยังไม่มีท่าว่าจะจบลงง่าย ๆ

25- วันเดียวกับที่เดเร็คถูกตั้งข้อหา ภรรยาของเขาซึ่งเป็นชาวอเมริกันเชื้อสายลาววัย 46 และเป็นอดีตนางงาม "มิสซิส มินนิโซตา 2018" ก็ขอหย่าจากเขา พร้อมแสดงความเสียใจแก่ครอบครัวของฟลอยด์ ซึ่งเดเร็คกับภรรยาคนปัจจุบันไม่มีลูกด้วยกัน

My husband and I work quite a bit from home and these are some tips that have really helped us navigate work and family life together.

Each family dynamic is different, and what might work for one family, may look very different for another. The key using Respectful Parenting principles is just to let love lead.

Be kind to one another as well as yourself. Prep. Listen. Empathize. Acknowledge. Sit. Empower.

This is a new normal for many in what is an unprecedented move and will take a little time to adjust. To learn what works and what doesn't and there will be days that you definitely learn what doesn't. Or that it is less than what you expected or wanted that day to be. But maybe the next day or the day after you'll learn what does.

And when it falls apart some days, which it will. We've had different iterations of working from home since Ella Grace was born and there's been lots of giant failwhale moments even with the best laid plans. In those moments, the biggest things my husband and I needed to do was to breathe it all out, sit with all those uncomfortable feelings of hard and growth and guilt and overwhelm, allow it to surface and not build resentment, ask what it was here to teach us, let it go, forgive ourselves as much as each other, pick it all and each other up, call all the pieces back, and start again.

One step at a time, one day at a time.

Let love lead.

You got this mama, I'm rooting for you.

***
WORKING FROM HOME TOGETHER
1. Ask what's important. This is something we did together as a family and is pivotal. Asking what each other needed, what would help, what would not help, how we saw this working out really help everyone get on the same page. We wrote and listed down everything we talked about which really helped us all visually build a schedule as well as know and manage each others expectations.

2. Designate work and non-work time. This is crucial and will make a huge amount of difference. A schedule and routine helps give everyone structure to the day which is very comforting when so much is up in the air. It also allows everyone to be really present whether at work or with each other. Work is work time, play is really play time.

3. Connect to disconnect. If your little one is interrupting a lot, they are seeking for an emotional refueling and connection. If you are able to, fill up that tank through play and presence. When you first start and especially if you don't normally get a lot of time with them, they will crave for this a lot and follow you everywhere. Keep filling that tank, ideally designating specific refueling time (refer above!!) imagining it as in the negative, and when you can get it full, you'll be amazed at how well and willing they will be to separate and do their own thing.

4. Welcome interruptions lovingly but stay focused and come back to it. Take and build in breaks - ask if you need to connect, limit, set, prioritize, or nourish.

5. Sit by a window and bathe in natural light, preferable with some view of green with a giant bottle of water next to you - stay hydrated! Healthy snacks also help your brain get into a theta wave which is the most receptive to information and learning. I sit next to a giant window in our living room and it helps me not go stir-crazy!

6. Better yet, take lots of movement breaks. Exercise over eating allows your brain to stay in the theta wave the longest which is really where your brain is at it's optimum. The movement helps you get it all out and cope better by also releasing a flood of happy hormones. We try to start our day with a little 20-30min family exercise, it doesn't have to be fancy. Sometimes it's a little circuit that we build in our living room, a yoga or zumba video, or even just a dance party.

7. You don't have to "dress up" but it's important that you get dressed, brush your teeth, wash your face, prep yourself. It will really help you move from sloth to work mode. 😅❤️

8. Designate a work area and space. We live in a little apartment in the city but having designated work spaces is so important to help us keep focused and "in the zone".

9. Quiet is ideal but if not, earplugs or headphones work too when you need it.

10. Don't micromanage, you'll go crazy. Allow and trust everyone the beauty of discovery. What works for them, what doesn't. How creative they can get. How to regulate. How to ask for what they need or don't.

11. Be flexible and open as much as possible to change and new experiences and ideas as well as little mess. Again, we have a little 1500sqft condo in the city and we're actually on day 12 of self-quarantine so being mindful that this is a shared space for all of us means allowing Ella Grace to "dress up" our living room, leave different creations at different stages as she free plays, or being kind on ourselves in terms of what housework we can manage today if our plate is especially full or if we are just tired.

12. 20 minute shakedowns are your friend. We play this game in the evenings or when we need it and it's called a 20min shakedown. We set the timer for 20mins and everyone earnestly picks up, cleans up, puts away, the crazy of the day. The key is to really walk away at the 20min mark even if it's not perfect. What this does is that because you know it's only going to be 20mins, everyone tries their hardest and makes it fun instead of never-ending. Better yet, everyone is happy to do it again the next time!

13. Plan your time strategically. Mornings for me are for correspondence/follow-up/emails as I know I'm likely more to be interrupted then so pick tasks that would be easy to get back into. Nap time is calls or anything I might need to get done during the day that works better with minimal interruption. I usually "clock-off" at 3/4pm to play with Ella Grace (connect to disconnect!!) before I start dinner and usually go back to work at about 8/9pm to do the more serious thinking stuff that requires quiet like writing articles, designing workshops, working on slides, etc.

14. Schedule in marriage time. J and I are technically colleagues and we also run a business together. It's easy to get stuck in work mode so being sure that work is work and marriage is marriage also helps a lot. We make sure to "date" each other after Ella Grace goes to bed at night. It doesn't have to be fancy, a shared dessert, cuddling and watching a movie together, talking about our day. However and whatever your love languages are, honor that.

15. Be kind. To yourself, to your little one, to each other. It's hard heart work and it's constantly learning and unlearning. Choose to find joy. In the little things, in the big things. This too will pass, mama. We love you and are standing in the light with you. <3

Open Letter To Anas Zubedy - A Counter-Letter to Dr. Zakir Naik

Dear Dr Zakir,

I have to apologize for the outburst of my fellow countryman Anas Zubedy who, in his latest blog posting, has asked you to leave Malaysia. I am here to write to convince you otherwise: that not only should you not leave, but to lengthen your duration of stay, diversify your place of ceramahs, return more often and intensify your fervour in the kind of dakwah that you do: a most non-vindictive, non-antagonistic, scholarly and, unfortunately (the one that became the central raison d’etre of some people’s hatred towards you), full of indisputable truths in them. And I too will give you my reasonings.

Now I doubt though that this letter will be read by you, or even reach you, as compared to Anas’ who probably have his minions try send HIS letter to you. If as such, let’s just regard my letter as a rhetorical one---that it could/should be read by others other than you.

I apologize for Anas because you might think that his words represent the whole country in its entirety or are some kind of epitome of the general Malaysian psyche. Nothing could be further than the truth. You see, we Malaysian Muslims are a motley crew of different characters and idiosyncrasies, right from the most pious and God-conscious to the most despicably and spiritually turpitude. And you know what?

Everyone has access to the internet. Everyone can write their thoughts about Islam. Everyone can claim to be a voice of the religion and, if one is equipped with some kind of babyface- ness and some applauds from some islamophobes or liberal muslims, who knows---one might even get to be popular and well-read.

Anas does not belong to the former category. At least you can realize that much by now just via reading. And I am not saying he is spiritually corrupt either, being well-mannered and having pleasant demeanour. But you can well sense his ... lack of knowledge.

His lack of Islamic Spirit, of a Mujahid, of one who cares least if the religion is going to get some beatings or not. His concern is not that. Rather, his concern is more towards what his readers would think of him, the majority of which are made up of non-muslims and liberal islam.

For how are you expected to write if you are writing for those who would like to listen more about Islam not as one which the prophet SAW has brought, but as one which could be modified to fit in the whims and fancies of the general non-muslim populace.

He does not understand Aqidah, as you can well see his stand on Syiah. He does not conform to the idea of Islam being “ya’lu wa laa yu’la alaihi”, as promulgated by the prophet SAW. To him, all religions are the saaaaaaame. All have equal merits, and Islam is just one of the many numerators pegged on the denominator of goodness.

Contrary to his insistence of being an avid Quran reader (he even has some study group making tafsirs of Quranic verses. I am not joking!), he doesn’t understand the Qur’anic spirit. Or, at most, glance off the many diverse Qur’anic verses on faith and life in general and only pick ones which he thinks would be fodder enough for his general blog readers. I shudder to think of the kind of misinformation, of selective facts and of a general depravity of truths that his non- muslim readers have been exposed to all this while.

Now why is there a phenomenon such as Anas Zubedy? One word:
Born Again.
(OK that’s two)

You see, a 60’s, 70’s Malaysian Islam (of which Anas’ childhood was immersed in) is not the Malaysian Islam that we see now. Those were the years of Mokhtar Dahari, of Malaysian women not donning tudung, of “Guinness Stout Baik Untuk Anda” advertisements still embellishing the local malay-held Utusan newspapers.

In general, a widespread era of neo-jahiliyyah. Then in the 80’s-90s (Anas’ formative university years) there was an explosion of kesedaran, and students coming back from al-Azhar and Madinah University began to convey to their parent folks that hey! We’ve been having it wrong all these times.

There is no Bomoh Jampi. Mandi Safar is wrong. Donning the tudung is wajib. And prayers is a must, not something optional. There was an almost overnight transformation due to being exposed to the truer Islam as opposed to the malay-flavoured Islam prevailing then.

But some things steadfastly refuse to be swept along in the winds of change. City folks preoccupied with chasing the hedonistic dreams and life, and youthful folks (university ones, the kind that Anas was surrounded with) just on the verge of being exposed to newly-found breaking of religious shackles ignored this change.

Theirs was the era of Bakat TV. Of the discotheque. We don’t need no freakin’ Islam to tell us what we can do and what we can’t.

But the winds are stronger. Come the new millennium, people like Anas look around them and find that they have been left behind. Far, far behind. They feel a need to catch up, to be shoulder-to- shoulder with those who carve out a name championing a most noble cause. But what to do?

They don’t have any Islamic trainings. Some have left religion way, way back before. In universities and colleges, while the other students enjoin one another in their usrahs or khurujs or ceramahs, they were busy with dating, with Abba and Bee Gees, with discos. So apart from their primary school years of learning the Juz-‘Amma from their grandfathers or the local ustazs, they really have NOTHING by way of Islamic advancements to be put onto their spiritual resumes.

Beginning from the 2000’s, we see a proliferation of people who you SENSE come from a more liberal society and upbringing but writing about Islam. Suddenly overnight we have these Born-Again writers flooding the internet firstly to show that they THEMSELVES are also champions of Islam and secondly that hey! Read me! I have come with the kind of Islam that is both modern, progressive, accommodative which even the non-muslims love.

Seriously, don’t we wish that we have THESE kinds of people to face Abu Jahal and Abu Lahab during the prophet’s time (SAW)?
But commensurate with Anas’ path towards full righteousness is his being influenced by Quranist ideologies. He is surrounded by people like Syed Akbar Ali, Malaysia’s most vocal proponent of no-hadith, qur’an-only beliefs.

A lack of basic fiqh, fused with a rejection of the prophet’s hadith and general taqwa, and you have a most explosive case of Islamic Misinformation you can ever perceive with two brains.

So there you have it, Dr Zakir. Don’t take too much heart, now that you know certain histories and backgrounds. Onwards to the allegations that Anas have got on you.

1. YOUR PRESENCE IS CAUSING A FAMILY DISPUTE

Seriously, I don’t even feel a need to comment on this. It is self-explanatory, self-revealing. According to that other Anas, Anas bin Malik (RA), the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: " I wish that I could meet my brothers." The Sahaabah (RAA) asked: "Aren't we your brothers?" He replied: "You are my Companions, but my brothers are those who will believe in me without having seen me."

What can you say, Dr Zakir, some people regard their relationships to the multitude of non-muslims as his family much more than you and me ever are?

As for Anas, yes please be comforted by your “family” here. As for me, my brothers and family are ...err... quite different from yours. Before anyone can point a finger saying that I am against Muhibbah of the races, I am not.

I have a multiracial neighbor that I play games with, drink coffee with and argue with on whether Q could obliterate the Borgs in one fell swoop. But family? Brothers? I only follow the conjunction of the Qur’an: “Verily the believers are brothers.” (al Hujurat-10)

2. YOUR PRESENCE IN MALAYSIA HAVE MEGATIVE IMPACT ON NON-MUSLIMS TOWARDS ISLAM

Now I am scratching my head on this one. Is this a statistical study or what? A scientific poll? Which authority has the audacity to conclude something like this, and if so under what premises? And let me pose a counter questioning to Anas: Name one Islamic Dakwah personality which, if brought to Malaysia, would, in your mind, have a POSITIVE impact on the non-muslims towards Islam?

Hello... None, OK? Positive impact means what. That they nod their heads in appreciations? That they show they like it by purchasing Islamic paraphernalia?
Anas said that your presence is getting non-muslims further away from Islam. This is where Anas’ confusion reaches its peak. He equates people disliking Islam as a sign of failure.

If so, Anas lacks the knowledge of Seerah big, big time. He lacks the understanding, not to mention the spirit of Islamic Dakwah big, big time. (By the way how much does Anas know about dakwah, apart from him being able to SPELL it? Has he ever been in khuruj?)

When the prophet preached Islam in Mecca to Umaiyyah bin Khalaf, Walid bin Mughirah, Utbah bin Rabi’ah and others, what kind of response is Anas expecting to be produced by them. The same as his non-muslim and liberal muslim readers accord him now, with applauds and compliments?

Is Dakwah to be done the result of which should be praises and accolades rather than a general feeling of discomfort onto the ears of those whom the dakwah is given?

Have you, Dr Zakir, started to feel a sense of ... inadequacy in the understanding of the Islamic spirit prevailing on this person now?

3. COMPARATIVE DEBATES DO NOT WORK IN MALAYSIA

Actually Anas, they do. What you PERCEIVE as a non-level playing field as far as dakwah is concerned in Malaysia, is actually a phenomenon best described in one of the talk events of Dr Zakir Naik where after expounding the inconsistencies of some biblical texts, one christian questioner stood up and asked,

“Dr. Zakir. Why do you insult us christians? What have you got against the bible that you are saying that their passages are wrong? Why do you say that the bible is not from God?”

And Dr Zakir answers (Anas pay attention carefully). “If I tell you that 2 X 2 is 5, what do you have to say to that?” And the man answered “That you are wrong.”

To which Dr Zakir replied, “are you insulting me? I say 2 x 2 is 5 and you say I am wrong?” The man said. “I am not insulting you. I am just saying you are wrong”.
“Like wise”, said Dr Zakir. “Neither have I insulted the bible nor have I disrespected it.

What I am saying is it is just wrong. And here is why I have said so .... (proceeds to read and analyse the conflicting verses). Now how can God be the author of some conflicting facts? And if you have scientific, logical, mathematical and factual proofs that you can provide that disproves my thesis, then by all means produce it. If it is sensible enough, I am more ready to declare that I am mistaken in this.”

Anas, if it is not Zakir Naik who could highlight to the masses things like these, then who would. You? Would you like to take his place? No. Notwithstanding, with the kind of “with charity towards all, malice towards none and love for all ...” mentality permeating in you, never in a million years would you be so factual.

You would sooner hide verses such as “Innad-Deen indallah al-Islam” rather than tell your non muslim listeners what Allah says.
Then what would you say in from of Allah on the day of judgement if asked, “O Anas, on earth you played with your friends. Joked with them, socialize with them. But never once did you attract them to Islam.

Even if you think you did, it wasn’t via the way of the prophet. Never once were they attracted to the Quran because never once did you point out that whatever they read other than the Quran was wrong and not from me”.

Now I might sound I am in some level of bigotry here but upon closer scrutiny, I am not. The christians or people from other denominations have equal rights to say that “Actually you muslims are wrong according to our dogma. According to our beliefs, you all will enter hellfire.” And I am okay with that. And get this:

SO IS OUR ENTIRE GOVERNMENT, MUSLIM POPULACE AND ISLAM IN GENERAL. We do not mind you to think that WE are the unsuccessful ones in the hereafter, just like we think YOU are. But will that harm perpaduan?

Not at all. After all this, we still go to our friends’ daughter’s weddings, sit and sip Stevia-laced coffee in any kopitiam, and fight with one another whether Man U is better than Liverpool or imbibe uniappam in any banana-leaf restaurant.

What is preventing us from having our Mokhtar Dahari-Soh Chin Aun-Santokh Singh moments are NOT religion. Definitely NOT Islam. They are politics, and we have diverse ways to view THAT one. Speaking of which ...
Sorry Dr Zakir. Not much comment in here, apart from giving my two-cents view from a religious standpoint. I am neither a politician nor like politics that much, but I do NOT conform to the plan of making our top-most potential people to take over the premiership who have come from a background of homo-sexuality.

Any persons, entities and politicians who conform to this should not be agreed upon. Period. That’s my entire political thoughts wrapped in 2 sentences. Clever, Sensible and Far-looking is what I is.

Lastly Dr Zakir, do not take things too hard, as I said. Perchance if you could be visiting (on your way) to a small dilapidated coffee stall by the roadside in Keramat, maybe you can stop by and I can interest you with some home-made cheese pisang goreng and the best lemang this side of the hemisphere? No?

Sincerely,

Your brother

J Rizal

4. Your presence is slowing down Malaysia’s political revitalization

1. No profanity---Checked
2. Seditious – nope.
3. Don’t play God --- Na’uzubillah.
4. Sweeping statements – Like, “You cause family disputes” kind of sweeping statements?
Nope.
5. Facts as opposed to opinions – Whaaaat? I thought I should be asking you that, especially
with that “Your presence here is causing negative impact” thing

Damon being our first born meant that we were so inexperienced with so many things
Parenthood was back then just a lot of worrying, a lot of not knowing what to do, a lot of going online to do research hahaha (wasn't so funny back then)
There was a lot of worrying that Sarah wasn't getting enough rest…
Didn't know if she was eating ok…
Anxious she was getting tired to easily at work…
And I haven’t even started talking about the things we needed after Damon was born!

Before going to the hospital, with a million things on our minds, we were very lucky to be looked after by Smart Cells.
They took care of everything, the forms that needed to be filled in, the collection kit to take to the hospital which was picked up immediately after Damon was born.

Something that really put our minds at ease was the fact that Smart Cells is governed by the Human Tissue Authority in England and there isn't this kind of quality control in Hong Kong.

Once again we have chosen Smart Cells to help us look after Damon’s younger sibling.
And we are so excited that we can through this collaboration get you a 10% discount by using the following code:

【影片目的】
感謝AirAsia讓在學生時代的我有機會去海外旅行，並且鼓勵更多人去旅行。

【影片介紹】
我知道很多人看到影片一定會認為我有接受AirAsia的贊助而做這個影片。（我也希望有xD）這個反應很自然。但這個影片事實是真的完全沒有任何贊助。

是我和我的好朋友Shen在上個月搭AirAsia 飛機去馬來西亞途中聊到我們各自多常搭AirAsia & AirAsia x 去不同地方旅行，碰到了哪些不來自不同地方的新朋友，發生了什麼有趣的事而興起決定做的影片。覺得很感謝我們生在這個時代。

在這個時代每個人都有機會去旅行。重新認識自己曾經錯誤解釋過的世界，然後認識自己以及身邊每一個人的價值。

世界很大，大得我們怎麼能只停留在一個地方。
旅行吧！

＝＝
我很喜歡旅行，而我人生第一張自己打工賺錢買的機票就是AirAsia x。
那時候我去的是泰國。
在學校宿舍就很簡單的在網路上找到的AirAsia x 的促銷機票，用他們的網路訂票系統訂了我人生第一張機票。
＝＝
用AirAsia & AirAsia x我去過了，泰國，馬來西亞（吉隆坡，檳城，麻六甲，沙巴，刁曼島）香港，新加坡。
除了他真的是比較便宜之外，還有其他三個理由讓我一直用AirAsia旅行。


0:30 ☆理由1☆ 漂亮的空姐
我當然也是做過別的航空，通常其他航空的空姐感覺是比較拘謹的。
比較有距離感。
AirAsia的空姐真的不一樣！
第一他們的頭髮不像其他航空規定一定要盤起來，
AirAsia空姐的頭髮，秀髮！很多是放下來的。
連是女生的喔都覺得真的很正很性感很美啊～～

0:58 ☆理由2☆ 美味的飛機餐
做過不同航空的飛機還是AirAsia的飛機餐讓我最開心。
或許馬來西亞料理就非常合個人口味吧。
他的菜單真的太豐富！然後又很道地！
加上真的不貴。平均差不多就是美金8塊左右吧。
以飛機餐的價錢來說真的很OK～
我只要用AirAsia飛，一定是先上網訂飛機餐xD
我太愛吃。
吃完正餐後過3小時一定再點個馬來西亞泡麵。

1:31 ☆理由3☆ AirAsia來自馬來西亞！
馬來西亞是我非常喜歡的國家之一。
我最好的朋友Shen （from Shen LimTV）就是馬來西亞人。
所以我才會開始對這個國家開始認識，然後喜歡上的。
目前去過了吉隆坡，檳城，麻六甲，沙巴，刁曼島真的是很喜歡。
人，食物，多元的文化與宗教，還有海邊！
我有一個愛死海邊的病。
馬來西亞是世界上被認可又最美海灘的國家。
我還會再去。遇見更多人，看更多地方，然後曬在更多美麗的海邊。

最後，希望你喜歡這個video：）

【Purpose of The Video】
Say thank you to v to let me be able to travel abroad when I was a student. And encourage more people to take on a trip to see this world.

【Introduction】
I know many people will think I make this video because it is sponsored by AirAsia (I wish it was :P).
It is understandable. But, the fact is, it is not. This video is not sponsored by anyone at all.

I just came up with this idea while Shen and I am taking AirAsia x to Malaysia. We were talking about how much and how often we fly with AirAsia to travel to places, and people from different places we met, interesting things that happened on each of our trips. We just feel thankful that we were born in this time.


Nowadays, most of us got chance to travel, to know the world that we use to mistaken, and to know the value of ourselves and of everyone else.

The world is too big to stay in one pace.
Explore!
＝＝
I love traveling. The first flight ticket I bought with the money I made from part time is AirAsia x ticket. That time I went to Thailand.
At school, I just simply went online and found AirAsia’s promotion tickets that I could afford. And then I use their online booing to buy the very first flight ticket in my life!
＝＝
With AirAsia & AirAsia x, I have traveled to Thailand, Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Malacca, Sabah, Tioman island) , Hong Kong, Singapore, for the reason it’s just cheaper than other airlines but also 3 other reasons!


0:30 ☆Reason1☆ Beautiful flight attendants
Of course I also have taken other airlines. Usually flight attendants from other airlines are in a more formal style. (sometimes makes me feel a little distanced )
But the flight attendants from AirAsia & AirAsia x are just different!!
For example, they don’t need to put up their hair.
And I feel it’s a more friendly style. (my personal opinions lah)
Even I am a girl, I think AirAsia flights are so attractive, sexy, and beautiful~

0:58 ☆Reason 2☆ Yummy meals on board
Out of all meals on board form different airlines,
The one from AirAsia satisfies me the most!

Maybe I just personally like Malaysian food so much :P
The food on menu really varies, and it is very authentic.
Plus, its just inexpensive.
It’s averagely 8 dollars, and as price of on board meals, I think it’s very acceptable.
I always order online before I fly if I fly with AirAsia or AirAsia x
I’m just such a foodie.
And 3 hours later, I must order a Malaysian cup noodles :P yum

1:31 ☆Reason 3☆ AirAsia is made in Malaysia!
Malaysia is one of my favorite countries.
My best friend, Shen is Malaysian, and that’s why I started to know about Malaysia. So far I have been to Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Malacca, Sabah, Tioman island, and I just really like this place. Love the people, the food, the multiple cultures and religions, and the beachesss.

I love the beach.

Malaysia is one country that has the most beautiful beaches.
I definitely will visit Malaysia again. To meet more people with great souls, see more amazing places, and lay down on more beautiful beaches.

Last, hope you enjoy this video ;)
