HOE DO YOU STOP LGBTs FROM BECOMING MPs?

Azwanddin backs up his claim of the LGBT threat by saying he has 17 reports of families that were broken up because the husbands got involved with gays. But that doesn’t prove anything. Those husbands might have been closet gays to begin with. They might have been forced into marriage to put up a front – until they discovered that they were not truly realizing the selves they were born as.  - By Kee Thuan Chye, Malaysian Digest   

Imagine this scenario in the not-too-distant future:

“Yang Berhormat, the general election is coming up. We are finalizing our list of candidates. I need to ask you if you are an LGBT person.”

“Huh? What’s that?”

“You haven’t heard? There’s a new legislation that forbids LGBT people from becoming MPs. Also senators.”

“LGBT means what? Lettuce, gherkin, bacon, tomato? Sounds like a sandwich.”

“No, Yang Berhormat. LGBT is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender.”

“What you talking laa? What’s that got to do with me?”

“Er … Yang Berhormat, are you gay?”

“Ei! If I’m gay, you think I’ll tell you and lose my chance of getting reelected ah? Bodoh!”

A situation like this is not going to happen, I hope. It’s too laughable. And yet we had someone like Bayan Baru MP Zahrain Mohamad Hashim trying to table a motion in Parliament last week to bar people who are LGBT from becoming MPs and senators.

Good thing the Speaker of the House, Pandikar Amin Mulia, rejected the motion, because it was “insignificant”. But now Jaringan Melayu Malaysia (JMM) and several other NGOs are planning to stage a public rally on April 21 to demand Pandikar Amin’s resignation. Its chairperson, Azwanddin Hamzah, says, “We consider the LGBT phenomenon a serious threat to the country.” He insists that if it was not eradicated, the country would face a “catastrophe”.

He also lashes out at the “free-sex LGBT lifestyle”, and warns that groups are trying to spread it.  I think before we go any further, we should stop and mull over what he says.  The first question we need to ask is: Are LGBTs truly a serious threat? In fact, are they even a threat at all? Are they so dangerous that they could lead this country to catastrophe?

Jarumemas: Don't you think they deserve more than that? These students are ungrateful for what the government had done.  Jarumemas is sad because, the non-Malays and the non-bumis students are fighting to get the government's scholarship so that they do not have to pay if they did well in their studies. The Malays are busy supporting the oppositions just for a few ringgit.

HISHAMUDDIN SAYS ANWAR 'IRRESPONSIBLE' FOR DRITICISING NEW SECURITY LAW

KUALA LUMPUR, April 16 — Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein today dismissed Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s description of the Security Offences (Security Measures) Bill as “no different from the ISA (Internal Security Act)”, saying it was more “irresponsible” political posturing from the opposition leader.



The home minister insisted at a press conference in Parliament here that it was obvious that the newly-proposed law was far more progressive than the 52-year-old ISA, saying that the opposition was clearly in denial if it refutes this.

“If you say that it is no different from the ISA, that means you are not a responsible opposition.

“If you want to find fault with everything, in respect of an Act that is really beyond what has been in existence since the 1960, that means they are playing politics,” the Umno vice-president said.

Jarumemas: To Anwar and the oppositions, whatwever and no matter how good is the tabling, they will always find fault. What about Anwar, is he really a 'clean'  leader? He has smeared his name, and his followers blindly supported him. Why? Because, they are paid to support him or maybe his supporters are morons and dungus or rather robots who will di as he says.
