| PM: Don't play with fire on racial, religious matters Posted: 04 Jun 2011 05:52 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR: The Government will not compromise with groups acting for their own interests without regard for the consequences of their actions, as these people are playing with fire by fanning racial and religious sentiments. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said these groups were gambling with the country's future. "Eventually both the victors and the vanquished will be the losers," he said in his speech at the investiture in conjunction with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's birthday at the Istana Negara Saturday. Najib said if this was what they coveted, then it would be a failed and disunited Malaysia that they would leave behind for the coming generations. "Shouldn't we learn from what's happening elsewhere, such as in the Balkans in Europe?. "We have painstakingly built and nurtured our relationship over decades. As such, we will not compromise on, and will reject, any attempt by specific groups to act for themselves without regard for the consequences that their actions will have on the majority of Malaysians and the country," he said, adding that one should also not fish in troubled waters.

| Mat Sabu: Ulama in control of PAS Posted: 04 Jun 2011 05:16 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR: PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu insists that the ulama are in control of the party as they are in the Syura Council, which oversees party discipline and policies. "We are not like Umno where the ulama are put in a sole bureau," he told reporters after the party election results (Mat Sabu is new deputy, ulama lose out) were announced Saturday. Mohamad toppled heavyweight incumbent Nasharuddin Mat Isa and challenger Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man in the race for the deputy presidency. Nasharuddin has blamed his loss to the split votes among the ulamas in the three-way race. "I am not blaming anybody because it is the right of delegates to choose and we have to respect the constitution," he said. He said while there were fewer names representing the ulama faction, the new leadership is represented equally by the ulama and non-ulama groups. Deputy spiritual adviser Datuk Dr Haron Din denied that the deputy president's post must be held by an ulama. PAS election director Datuk Abdul Halim Abdul Rahman pointed out that although 1,077 delegates and elected office bearers were eligible to participate in the balloting, 22 did not exercise their right. "If the eligible delegates turned up in full force, it could have changed the outcome of deputy presidential race, as Mohamed Sabu only won by a 21-vote majority," he added.

| Obedient Wives Club to offer sex lessons on how to pleasure husbands Posted: 04 Jun 2011 04:54 AM PDT RAWANG: Sex lessons to help wives "serve their husbands better than a first-class prostitute" will be among the courses provided by the Obedient Wives Club (OWC) to help promote harmonious marriages and counter social ills. Its vice-president Dr Rohaya Mohamad said it was time sexual prowess took a front seat in marriage beyond the traditional "good mother or good cook" roles. "A good or religious wife is also sexually good in bed," she told reporters after the launch of the club's Malaysian chapter at the Perangsang Templer Golf Club Saturday. A husband who was kept happy in the bedroom would have no reason to stray or seek out prostitutes or indulge in other social vices, said Dr Rohaya, who was a medical doctor for 15 years in the Health Ministry before taking a leadership role in the club. "The family institution is protected and we can curb social ills like prostitution, domestic violence, human trafficking and abandoned babies," she said, adding that she believed these problems stemmed from unfulfilled sexual needs at home. Dr Rohaya, said the club would also offer counselling and lecture sessions for wives, husbands or couples. She said the Malaysian chapter had around 800 members while its Jordan chapter had 200, with the Indonesian chapter set to be launched on June 19 in Jakarta. When questioned whether wives should remain obedient if their husbands still abused or cheated on them with prostitutes, Dr Rohaya said everyone was subject to God's rule. "God has his ways and is fair to all. A husband is also subject to God's rule, meaning he can go to hell too. But a woman must be a good wife to the end," she said, adding that according to Islam, women should pray, fast during Ramadhan, protect their chastity and obey their husbands if they wanted to enter Heaven. OWC and the Polygamy Club was formed by Global Ikhwan Sdn Bhd, an organisation founded by former members of the banned Al-Arqam Islamic group. A mass wedding reception for eight couples was also held during the launch. The brides were aged 18 to 22 while the grooms were aged 20 to 48. All are OWC members and agreed that disobedient wives were the cause of many social ills. Related Stories: |
