Initially, the controversy surrounding the government’s intention to introduce the Bill centred on the qualifications to become a mufti, specifically the requirement for them to be Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah (adherent of the Sunni creed).

Faizal, are you implying that now all the gov jobs/posts must have a bill and must be tabled in parliment... " presented amidst growing opposition and widespread criticism" Yes, this should be opposed simply because it enroaches on the freedom of... firstly the muslims and then slowly the others...

I give you an example of how this is applicable to the others... it will happen surely but slowly... Read the story and apply it to this Mufti Bill.. The Rat Trap (Author Unknown) A rat looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package. What food might it contain?

He was aghast to discover that it was a rat trap. Retreating to the barnyard the rat proclaimed the warning; “There’s a rat trap in the house, a rat trap in the house!” The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Excuse me, Mr. Rat, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.”

The rat turned to the pig and told him, “There’s a rat trap in the house, a rat trap in the house!” “I am so very sorry Mr. Rat,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured that you are in my prayers.” The rat turned to the cow. She said, “Like wow, Mr. Rat. a rat trap. I am in grave danger. Duh?”

So the rat returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s rat trap alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a rat trap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife.

The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the barnyard for the soup’s main ingredient. His wife’s sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.

To feed them the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer’s wife did not get well. She died, and so many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat. So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when there is a rat trap in the house, the whole barnyard’s at risk. Can you see the relevance?

darmakochi : Great and very relevant to the recent political development that is very very FAST unfolding in our nation. Looks like with this present government all right-thinking Malaysians must be prepared for more unfriendly developments especially the NMs!

Looks like all of us asked for the present state of affairs by voting in the MADANI government. Poor DAP! It was really stabbed in its back very fast by the MADANITES!!

Gen2 : The story of the camel and the tent is highly relevant to this Bill. Kill the Bill before secular law is kicked out of the Malaysian tent.
