PALESTINE: A TURNING-POINT?

The 1.5 million people of Gaza continue to be under one of the most inhuman, unjust sieges in recent times --- a siege that began eighteen months before the assault on Gaza on 27 December 2008. From all accounts, everyday is a struggle to survive; the most basic necessities of life are not readily available to the vast majority of the populace. This Israeli imposed ...

DR. CHANDRA MUZAFFAR SPEAKS ON OBAMA VISIT TO CHINA WITH THE BRUNEI TIMES

Question 1 As US President Barrack Obama is currently visiting China, how do you see the future relations of both nations and what’s the impact regionally (such as Asia and Asean) and also globally? Answer 1 A single visit will not set the tone and tenor of US-China relations. For China what is critical at this point in time, is the ability of the US President to resist growing pressures for protectionist policies from the US Congress and powerful lobbies directed primarily at China which enjoys a huge trade surplus with the US.

THE NATIONAL CONSULTATIVE COUNCIL ON RELIGIOUS HARMONY: PLEASE THINK AGAIN.

The National Consultative Council on Religious Harmony (NCCRH) proposed by Yayasan 1Malaysia is not the same as the Inter-Faith Commission alluded to by Deputy Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyuddin Yassin. (New Sunday Times, 31 January 2010).

The NCCRH hopes to bring together civil society groups and the State in a common endeavour to protect and promote inter-religious harmony. This is why we have suggested that the Prime Minister should chair the NCCRH. He will be in the driver’s seat.  The NCCRH should focus on making decisions through a consultative process that will involve all stakeholders.

Groups and individuals who are critical of the NCCRH nonetheless recognize the importance of dialogue among the various religious communities. If dialogue is acceptable, why is structuring that dialogue a problem for that is what the NCCRH is all about? It is essentially an attempt to establish a formal mechanism at the highest level of Malaysian society that will enable representatives of different religions and other groups and individuals to talk to one another behind closed doors in order to sort out some of the challenges of a religious nature that face the nation.
