"Instead of moving forwards, we keep going round and round.
Saying and doing the same things.
Always championing race and religion;
always defending our “rights”.
This siege mentality gets us nowhere.
It makes one wonder if it’s all a
big conspiracy.
Don’t improve our education system.
We don’t want our kids too smart.
Smart kids become smart citizens.
Who question and not obey, like
sheep.
The wolves croon to the sheep, dressed in fine wool.
And the sheep
see the wolves and think, they must be one of us.
When sheep believes
the wolves know best, it’s all over.

The goats, I fear, have long left the pasture."

Responding to Hasan’s opinion that yesterday’s statement by the Selangor sultan showed that there was Christian proselytising of Muslims at a function hosted by a Christian group in August, the head of the Catholic Church in the Malacca-Johor diocese said: “More than any other party, PAS has to be extremely fastidious about the evidence before preferring an accusation.”
Tan explained: “Need I remind him his party wants to implement a judicial system - at least in one state in the country - that in the terminal finality of the punishments it encompasses makes the sifting of evidence a matter of the gravest responsibility.
“In leaping to his conclusions in the matter of alleged Christian proselytising of Muslims at the dinner hosted by the Damansara Utama Methodist Centre (DUMC), Hasan has been grossly negligent in respect of evidence evaluation.
“He has done a grave disservice to the cause of the judicial system his party is on record as propounding for the good of citizens in this country.
“People are going to look at the way he has leaped from arbitrary fact to accusatory conclusion in this matter and ask what kind of system is his party propounding that allows a grave accusation to be preferred on a dubious evidentiary basis.”
Tan reminded Hasan (left) that “not only in Selangor but every other state in Malaysia, his party is in contention with the supposedly corrupt and unprincipled”.
“Therefore it is incumbent upon him to hold himself to a higher standard of public conduct and exposition than of those he is in contention with.”
