PETALING JAYA: Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has decided to quit PKR, saying he has had enough of recent turn of events in the party.
“I knew my days in the party were numbered because the leaders were relentlessly making personal attacks against me.
“I am quitting because I want to dissociate myself from liars and cheats. I do not want to be part of a group that propagates lies and does not have any qualms about cheating for as long as the end justifies the means,’’ he told The Star.

Nazri orders Jakim to probe Sarawak native's creed? Does he know what he is doing ?
Malayan Idiot Playing Role of GOD
"The government has asked the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) to investigate the religious status of Beginda Anak Minda, also known as Noor Azman Abdullah," said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz. He said only after this was done, could investigations proceed into the caning of his son in a school in Kuching for bringing fried rice with pork sausages into the school’s premises.

Kuching, SARAWAK: Firstly, I've no intention whatsoever to stir up further the current 'temperature'. But, I would like to raise issues from the legal point of view. Remember the phrase in 18/20 point of Malaysia Agreement goes something like this 'there is no official religion in Sarawak' which we safely categorise it as secular state. Hence, Jakim has no right to investige Mr Beginda's religious status since Beginda is Sarawakian.
If there is any attempt to lawfully investigate Mr. Beginda, only State Islamic Affairs Council for Sarawak has the jurisdiction to do so. If Jakim dares to tickle Mr. Beginda even a muscle in Sarawak, that would be constitutionally deemed as an act against the Agong aka the highest level of treachery. Yang Di-Pertuan Agong is the Head of Islam in four states ruled without Sultans namely Penang, Malacca , Sabah and Sarawak; 3 Federal territories, Labuan, Putrajaya and KL as well as in his own state, Terengganu. In this role, he is advised by the State Islamic Affairs Council in each of the States. (for futher clarification refer duties of Yang Di-Pertuan Agong in the Federal Constitution)!
Majority Should Be Considerate...
Conversion is so very sensitive in this country, yet during the week when Hindus are celebrating the auspicious festival of Deepavali, the message from our national film production development board, FINAS, is an advertisement glamourising a Hindu who converted to Islam ... showing the Muslim wife of a Hindu convert not wanting to eat food at the table of her non-Muslim in-laws. What exactly is the meaning of this advertisement here, if not to belittle the Hindus?

Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA: Recent actions or utterences by politicians and public servants belonging to a section of the majority community in this country of ours have been most insensitive, hurting the feelings of the minority. Can it be thoughtlessness or is it a feeling of superiority by some who feel they are above the law?
We already know of cases when some members of the teaching profession lost their cool and made racial and slanderous remarks to belittle our young and taint their young minds. I suppose not punishing these professionals (who, legally, seemed to have infringed the Sedition Act) has resulted in others of the same profession continuing to taunt minorities!
Civil servants who continue to slander other Malaysians, especially from minority ethnic groups, only face the sanction of being 'investigated' with some minor internal transfers. The negligence by the Government leadership to take decisive action to give clear signals that such insensitive actions are unacceptable, has created a perception that slander of this nature is condoned, thus giving freedom to other civil servants to go ahead with remarks against the defenceless.

Pope writes Ahmadinejad of Catholics' plight
VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI has told Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of the discrimination and violence Catholics suffer in the Middle East and said he hopes relations between the local Catholic Church and authorities can improve.
The Vatican released the text of a letter Benedict wrote to Ahmadinejad after receiving a letter from the Iranian leader last month. Ahmadinejad had thanked the pontiff for opposing a Florida pastor's threat to burn the Quran on the Sept. 11 anniversary.
In his letter, dated Nov. 3 but released only Thursday, Benedict noted that a recent meeting of Mideast bishops had decried the discrimination many Catholics face in the region. He said he hoped a bilateral commission would help address the legal status of the Catholic Church in Iran.
