元旦公假

今早趁元旦公假与一群友人在新村茶室喝茶聊天，友人欢欣汽油价格下降，但感叹物价不会随而下降，有友人插嘴认为油价上涨时，诸多物品价格不管有否涉及油价却以油价为藉口，纷纷随意提高物价，现今油价低，物价仍飙升，实是无奈，众人无言。。

人们对新的一年充满期待，希望把去年，或过去 所发生的事件成为反省，启发，教训的教材，而华人社群应深入思考在这复杂，纷乱环境中如何站得稳，更重要的是如何进行自我转型，改革面对全球化进程，而不会依然原地踏步，自我孤立在这多元种族，宗教，文化习俗的社会中。

NO WINNERS IN WAR

"Enviromental catastrophe and wars, both man made, are the two greatest threats to mankind. This piece is about wars and the rise of new religious extremism as the agent provocateur of wars today."

MODERATION THE KEY TO HARMONY

"Malaysia was formed on the basis of moderation and liberalism and this is the ONLY WAY people of different faiths can form genuine relationships with one another.  Malaysia is a multi-racial, multi-religions country and only if you are liberal and moderate can you establish genuine links with one another....."

Moderation the key to harmony

The former Deputy Prime Minister Tun Musa Hitam said he had seen many politicians use race and religion for their own agenda over the years and that it was intensifying and the line between politics and religion in the country was also increasing blurring.

Too many politicians want to become religious leaders and too many religious leaders want to be politicians.....
