Still siuman?

Don told Vincent, 'They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now.' He went further, 'They would not listen, they're not listening still, perhaps they never will.' I'd say, reach out while you're still sane. The rest, leave it.

Not allowing people to speak is un-Islamic, let alone un-Malaysian

When I studied about Islam civilisation and law back in my Form 6 and university first year, I remembered though many rules of Islam seem unreasonable to non-Muslims, there were actually certain resonableness behind given Islam has been a long time religion. For instance, many can't accept why they're allowed to marry 4 wives, but non-Muslims did not know that to marry 4 wives, you must prove that you can 'berlaku adil'/treat every wives fairly, at least materially.

And there's no consensus on many issues even within Islam. Muslims are allowed to debate on many issues regarding life, politics, etc. Why's the Bar council's forum so sensitive and controversial?

Malaysian Constitution gives us certain rights and freedom, if not narrowly interpreted.

Both government and opposition leaders agreed that the forum should be called off? That seem Malaysia's tomorrow would be pretty much the same, whether there's a change of ruling party.

Holding the forum closed-door or not is not much different, Bar council could not fit that many audiences.

But gentler views like one given by PAS Youth chief are still much appreciated.
