Carved Within: Religion War

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 21 — Two suraus in Muar, Johor were damaged in suspected arson attacks early this morning, weeks after similar attacks against churches, believed to be linked to the controversial “Allah” ruling.
.
Police found traces of kerosene in the Sirratulrahim Surau in Kampung Sabak Awor, Jalan Ismail which had a window and curtains burnt, while the Parit Beting surau suffered worse damage.“There is a black mark on the door,” Muar Deputy OCPD Lee Choon Guan told The Malaysian Insider when contacted at the Parit Beting surau.The police forensics team is now taking evidence the surau.Lee said police are cautious in linking the incident to a spate of attacks on houses of worship over the divisive “Allah” ruling.“
.
My forensic team found traces of splashed kerosene so it may have originated from outside the surau’s compound,” he said at the scene of the first attack.Lee’s superior, Muar OCPD Mohammed Nasir Ramli, had earlier refused to confirm if the first incident was a result of an arson attempt.He told The Malaysian Insider that the Sirratulrahim Surau had suffered minor damages in the pre-dawn blaze.“We are still investigating... we don’t know if it was attacked, we can’t say that. Let the police do its investigations first,” he said in a phone interview.
.
The Muar police chief said three youths from the area had discovered the damage at about 3am and reported it to the police.The Johor police are expected to release an official statement later this evening.Nine churches, a mosque, a surau, a Sikh temple and a convent school have been damaged by fire, paint or stones since Jan 8.Police obtained a seven-day remand order yesterday for eight youths arrested in connection with the first attack on the Metro Tabernacle church, on Jan 8. Two were brothers who suffered burns said to be a result of the attack.
.
Another person detained is their uncle.The attacks came in the wake of the Dec 31, 2009 High Court ruling that allowed Catholic weekly Herald to use the term “Allah” to describe the Christian God in their Bahasa Malaysia section. The government has appealed against the decision and obtained a stay of execution.
.
In a statement today, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng condemned “the destructive behaviour of the perpetrator of such irresponsible attacks, who clearly intended to provoke suspicions among our multi-racial and multi-religious communities”.“We urge the police to step up its investigation and monitoring mechanism to bring the perpetrators to justice, and to prevent any further similar incident from happening in order to safeguard our harmonious way of life,” the Penang chief minister said.

KL Dragon Vs Satria Muda

5th Jan 2010

This is the 5th game of KL Dragons in ABL, they were playing against Satria Muda Brit Ama from Indonesia. I don't how how grand the event was until i saw it with my own eyes.

--------------------------------->Before the game starts

.

------------------------------->Ladies giving out freebies to VIPs

.. There's a guy from the opponent team, he look like someone from the 3rd world country (Or maybe he is), the team will walk across from the VIP entrance to the opposite side of the court towards the team locker room. Visiting team will get to warm up at the court, but this guy in the picture, dance along the music as if he's celebrating the winning before the game starts, this guy seriously need to learn more about being "humble".

----------------------------------->Drum performing

Yup, they have drum performing before the game starts.

-------------------------------> Cheerleading Team

That's what they are, the cheerleading team, refering to Kheng's opinion a.k.a Highclass Clubbers. They look more like a clubbers than a cheerleading team, trust me, i've went to a cheerleading competition with Yau Suen & Bilqis before, i know what does cheerleader do and it's definitely not the one you're looking at.

------------------->Seriously, who does this more? Cheerleaders or clubbing girls?

The main reason i want to attend the game if for this particular player, #5 Yeow Loong, surprisingly he's the 2nd shortest player in the team but he sure can jump.

Couldn't get a clear shot, but the player in white is #5 Yeow Loong. The pic made me want to get a DSLR camera more to capture fast shot like this.

--------------------------------> KL Dragon warming up

-------------------> Rappers - Rapping for KL Dragon before game starts

--------------------> And they welcome the main players from each team

--------------------------------> National Anthem (Negaraku)

-----------------------------------> And the game starts

The crowd was singing the Dragon's theme, the atmosphere had been emotional, all supporters were supporting loud. There is also a crowd of Indonesian supporters, reminded me when we're still in junior school, what do we usually do to "pray" for opponent to miss the free throw?

~Tidak Mungkin, T-I-D-A-K M-U-N-G-K-I-N~ Haha, so guess what Kheng & Me sing? Wee Wang Wang~ Wee Wang Wang, but it doesn't help much though. I'm not sure if the team is being bribe to lose or they are just not performing well yesterday, there's no rebound, many shots were not entered, we had lots of missing passes.. although the crowd was supporting, they were Boo-ing the team as well for making some huge mistakes.

In the opponent team, a player name Hartman, look like a middle eastern boy, showed anger toward the refree for being unfair with his judgement in calling fouls, was "negotiating" with the refree. But he is a good player, with his height and excellent dribbling skill with sharp 3 point following one another and another and another, they deserve to win i would say, so that the team wouldn't be ashamed for the nigger earlier for butt dancing in the middle of the stage, showing off to the crowd.

So what's the score?

-----------------------------> KL Dragon 57 ----- Satria Muda <---------------------------
