It must be performed on the prescribed times - This is a must when muslims are the mojority.<BR/><BR/>The writer also mentioned about the loud speaker from the morning class - That is something the masjid can look into the issue and I completely agree it must be stopped.<BR/><BR/>Finally the write gave a very good opinion regarding the street signs. Malaysian shall never be united unless they merged into a common language. Bahasa Malaysia or even English. Sadly after 30 almost leaving abroad, I noticed my Melayu people have no pride of their native language anymore. English words are replacing Melayu for no valid reason. Bahasa Melayu is dying but that is another subject.<BR/><BR/>Be united Oh Malaysians.<BR/><BR/>From<BR/>Anak Melayu American<BR/>United States of AmericaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708423.post-41258719568779798602008-10-06T21:33:00.000+08:002008-10-06T21:33:00.000+08:00msleepyhead,It is also funny that you presume I am...msleepyhead,<BR/><BR/>It is also funny that you presume I am bias towards 'pendatang.' You just proved my point.<BR/><BR/>We are all pendatang from Africa if you want to go that far back. It does not matter to me if people wanna call you or me 'pendatang.' What is more important is that you and I are citizens of this country. Albeit I may have 'additional' rights or protection under the constitution, unless that is repealed, there is nothing you can do about it.<BR/><BR/>Democracy is about the the rule of majority. So far the Malays are the majority and we aim to keep it that way!<BR/><BR/>It is the loud mouth minorities that are bitching away like women that are inciting racial tension.<BR/><BR/>We Malays are half Chinese, half Indian. Our Chinese half will tolerate and compromise. But do not let our Indian half get better of us!<BR/><BR/>RaZ aka anon @ October 05, 2008 9:37 AMRuss Kühlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362655895635124538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708423.post-20223766469318898832008-10-06T15:55:00.000+08:002008-10-06T15:55:00.000+08:00To anon @ October 05, 2008 9:37 AM,It's funny how ...To anon @ October 05, 2008 9:37 AM,<BR/><BR/>It's funny how the earlier residents of the land could also say pre-Malacca was an animistic country before the Arabs came and converted Parameswara a Hindu immigrant in exile from Palembang.<BR/><BR/>By this historical fact alone and the one you are proposing, the descendants of Parameswara are also immigrants or 'pendatangs' as was recently popularized. <BR/><BR/>So how far back are you willing to go?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708423.post-44266973102867118622008-10-06T14:21:00.000+08:002008-10-06T14:21:00.000+08:00Gukita,That's a wiseman saying.Gukita,<BR/><BR/>That's a wiseman saying.Maverick SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871611453372513136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708423.post-34246793650200571872008-10-06T08:36:00.000+08:002008-10-06T08:36:00.000+08:00Over zealots does more harm than good....alwaysOver zealots does more harm than good....alwaysGukitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553529969243307062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708423.post-10621631141685871162008-10-05T09:37:00.000+08:002008-10-05T09:37:00.000+08:00Similarly when Jesus (Isa to us) turned the other ...Similarly when Jesus (Isa to us) turned the other cheek, he was practising tolerance.<BR/><BR/>Malaysia, Malaya, Malacca was a Muslim country before the the Europeans came and 'opened' it to migrants.<BR/><BR/>Maybe these 'guest' should first learn to be tolerant before they impose their ideas and way of life unto the host.<BR/><BR/>As a Muslim, I think the azan is no longer viable idea to call Muslim for prayers in the modern world.

The performance of prayers without the call of azan is valid.<BR/>Unquote<BR/><BR/>Basically to tell the time for prayers is not through azan, it through the movement of the sunlight when earth rotate.
