KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6 — The MCA wants the Education Ministry to act against a Sarawak primary school for enforcing a halal food policy, which it claims is trampling on the rights of non-Muslim pupils.
The second-biggest party in the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition said today that public school teachers do not have the right to force their own religious values on a multi-cultural student body.
“MCA finds it disturbing that the senior assistant had allegedly warned the parent ‘Jangan besar-besarkan hal, kerana ini isu yang cukup sensitif di kalangan orang-orang Islam (Don’t blow up this matter as it is a very sensitive issue among Muslims),” said the party’s deputy publicity chief Loh Seng Kok (picture).
He was citing news portal Malaysiakini that yesterday reported the allegation against SK St Thomas in Kuching.
Ten-year-old Basil anak Baginda, a pupil of St Thomas, was said to have been caned 10 times on his palms for bringing home-cooked fried rice with pork sausages to school on October 15.
His name is Nur Azman Bin Abdullah @ Beginda, but?
When there is no other issues to be popular, some people played up religion issue to cause anxiety. Sadly, they forgot they would end up opening floodgate. Is our beloved Anwar Ibrahim aware of this?

"I CANNOT allow this serious slander. He must take responsibility for his actions."
These were the strong words of Ummi Hafilda Ali, the sister of Mohd Azmin Ali, Hulu Klang State Assemblyman and former private secretary to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, in response to a repeat allegation by Sarawak Keadilan fund raising bureau head Beginda Minda that he had sex with her in mid-1998.
Ummi, who was trying hard to hold back her tears, told The Malay Mail yesterday in a phone interview that Beginda's statement published in a national English daily yesterday had caused her fresh anguish, embarrassment and stress.
"I have had people calling me expletives because of what he …

Beginda had gained prominence - yet again - when last week he made fresh statements over his alleged sexual relationship with Ummi Hafilda Ali, the sister of Hulu Klang State Assemblyman, Azmin Ali, the Keadilan director of election machinery for the Sarawak State election.
Azmin was also the former private secretary to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Efforts to get Beginda over the last two days were futile. One of his handphone numbers was persistently in engaged mode while the other was answered by a woman who …

MCA, dont you guys ever thinks that you all have lost the charisma to lead. Stooping as low to gain prominince and influencuence towards your fellow country men. Why dont you guys fight back with concrete evidence about what your party has did with the power sharing within Barisan. Tell me / us who is driving the most Mercedes Benzes around, High ends Japanese cars,Expensivwe continental cars or own properties in urban areas or even the non halal business( no need to elaborate here- its a wide spectrum) We melayus bolih kira dengan jari lah bro. For those melayus who is superficially rich, its because its mutual partnership with the likes of MCA entreprenuerships. Dont discard the bond , the understandings ,the table can be turn around when end justify the means, i.e economically . We the rakyat have begun to realise who is our true friends in need. Dont burn the bridges which is fostered way back when even before the merdeka days, rememember the days when our ancestors makan ubi kayu, when we protect each other from the japs, from the PCM, even from the manipulations of the brits. So after realisations we tend to realise , united we stand divided we fall. We are all malaysians. irrelevannt of races. Bear in mind the ultimate aim of the opposition is to oppose , thats why they exists. Whether they spin ,curse, lies, exposed, have we ever malaysians hungered for food, thirsts for education, deprived for oppurtinites in business or even act as opposition members in the international arenas. are we that bad bros and sis.Theres a diffirence between PROSECUTED and PERSECUTED, look it up in google for PKR members.

Hahahahaha, going to school constitutes "duress"???
hahahahaha, nampak sangat sibangang BIN tolol dah bersuara
This is the problem with all you idiots out there, this is not a political issue, this is an issue of public interest. SK St Thomas is a mission school, if you don't want your kids to mix with non muslim kids, then send them to go elsewhere, bodoh!
Anon @ Wednesday, November 10, 2010 11:50:00 AM says, "then send them to go elsewhere, bodoh!"
See this typical pendatang mentality - they come here penniless, illiterate and begging for mercy.
Then they work their butts out, reap all the wealth they can from Tanah Melayu. Supposed to go home but decide to stay and impose on the gracious landlords.
Then once they are rich, they HALAU others to "masuk hutan".
They believe their wealth can dictate who, what, where, how, when to the gracious Tuan Tanah.
They will only be rendered humble when their wealth is reduced, so buy chinese last.
I have no comment on the Pork Sosej issue.
I just want to comment that anybody defending DSAI in 1998 did a brave thing. DSAI was badly framed. I am afraid that the same 'not relevant' standards of justice is now applied to everything else.
Those who framed DSAI did so to get $$$. See what happened to the country. Very bad indeed.
But now DSAI is too old.
Bad UMI!
AH KAH KAH KAHKAH KAH KAHKAH KAH!!!!!
sapa dah check lubang Umi?
betol ke masih dara??
KAH KAH KAH!!!! BANGANG PUNYA BLOGGER.
hoi burger hangus
"DSAI was badly framed" - huh? He was found GUILTY of power abuse, corruption and sodomy even after being defended by 9 lawyers.
The country is doing very well indeed once AI is out of action. Now that he's back, so much political tsunami is happening.
Once he's back in prison, the country will be peaceful and well.
He is now officially a PM has-been, no more a wannabe. Even his american friends have distanced themselves from him like a leper.
Umi is a very courageous person to expose AI and her own brother. She will be remembered as a heroine who saved Malaysia from being ruled by a puppet.

Is Pork Forbidden to Muslims Only?
The Jews and Christians are also forbidden from eating pork. Here is a quote from the Old Testament to that effect: "And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase." Deuteronomy 14:8
Many Christians believe that this verse was directed only at the Jews. But Jesus himself says during the Sermon on the Mount; "Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." Some Christians say that, after a vision by St. Peter, God cleansed all animals and made them fit and lawful for human consumption. If ALL animals are cleansed by Peter's vision, this includes dogs, cats, vultures, and rats: but you just don't see people getting excited about a cat-meat sandwich like they do over barbecued pork or bacon. Others say that it was Paul who rescinded the law forbidding pork to humans, in order to appease the Romans, who enjoyed the taste of pig-meat. Many excuses have been given, but none are very sound.
Many Far Eastern traditions also discourage the eating of pork. The 3,000 year old Confucian Book of Rites says, "A gentleman does not eat the flesh of pigs and dogs." Although many Chinese are avid eaters of pork today, physicians of ancient China recognized pork-eating as the root of many human ailments. Buddhists, Jains and Hindus usually avoid eating any kind of meat.

Which Animals Does the Bible Designate as 'Clean' and 'Unclean'?
God reveals which animals—including fish and birds—are suitable and unsuitable for human consumption in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. Although the lists aren't exhaustive, He reveals guidelines for recognizing animals that are acceptable for food.
God states that cud-chewing animals with split hooves can be eaten (Leviticus 11:3; Deuteronomy 14:6). These specifically include the cattle, sheep, goat, deer and gazelle families (Deuteronomy 14:4-5). He also lists such animals as camels, rabbits and pigs as being unclean, or unfit to eat (Leviticus 11:4-8). He later lists such "creeping things" as moles, mice and lizards as unfit to eat (verses 29-31), as well as four-footed animals with paws (cats, dogs, bears, lions, tigers, etc.) as unclean (verse 27).
He tells us that salt and freshwater fish with fins and scales may be eaten (verses 9-12), but water creatures without those characteristics (catfish, lobsters, crabs, shrimp, mussels, clams, oysters, squid, octopi, etc.) should not be eaten.
God also lists birds and other flying creatures that are unclean for consumption (verses 13-19). He identifies carrion eaters and birds of prey as unclean, plus ostriches, storks, herons and bats.
Birds such as chickens, turkeys and pheasants are not on the unclean list and therefore can be eaten. Insects, with the exception of locusts, crickets and grasshoppers, are listed as unclean (verses 20-23).
Why does God identify some animals as suitable for human consumption and others as unsuitable? God didn't give laws to arbitrarily assert control over people. He gave His laws (including those of which meats are clean or unclean) "that it might be well" with those who seek to obey Him (Deuteronomy 5:29).
Although God did not reveal the specific reasons some animals may be eaten and others must be avoided, we can make generalized conclusions based on the animals included in the two categories.
In listing the animals that should not be eaten, God forbids the consumption of scavengers and carrion eaters, which devour other animals for their food.
Animals such as pigs, bears, vultures and raptors can eat (and thrive) on decaying flesh. Predatory animals such as wolves, lions, leopards and cheetahs most often prey on the weakest (and at times the diseased) in animal herds.
When it comes to sea creatures, bottom dwellers such as lobsters and crabs scavenge for dead animals on the sea floor. Shellfish such as oysters, clams and mussels similarly consume decaying organic matter that sinks to the sea floor, including sewage.
A common denominator of many of the animals God designates as unclean is that they routinely eat flesh that would sicken or kill human beings. When we eat such animals we partake of a food chain that includes things harmful to people.
As nutritionist David Meinz observes: "Could it be that God, in His wisdom, created certain creatures whose sole purpose is to clean up after the others? Their entire 'calling' may be to act exclusively as the sanitation workers of our ecology. God may simply be telling us that it's better for us believers not to consume the meat of these trash collectors" (Eating by the Book,1999, p. 225).
