Playing up issues surrounding the implementation of a government policy to create further diversity in our multi racial society is totally unacceptable. But why introduce Khat in vernacular schools when the issue of vernacular schools is diverse between the fully aided and the partially aided schools. Over history, it evolved into an Islamic stretch of nations.Įven on the issue of introducing Khat it must be highlighted that India has never imposed any educational policies on its non-Hindu citizens to study Sanskrit! But Malaysia had imposed the learning of Jawi in government schools those days and we the non Muslims adhered to the learning of Jawi. History dictates the origin of Malay archipelago was a Hindu world. It’s an undisputed fact that the Malays are a multi-ethnic people, inhabiting Malaysia as a nation-state, the homeland of the Malay archipelago and the Malay world stretching from the Indian to the Pacific Oceans. Malay ethnicity and identity is not singular. I am astonished at the perception of the Malay world- the remarks the leaders of the Malay world are making that are insinuating and insulting the other races and religion is indeed totally unwelcome. We need to look at our magic mirror to assess if we are exercising just and fair policies for all in our own nation before pointing fingers at others. Our nation should indeed be practicing equitable distribution of rights before we run down the policies of a foreign nation. Against this backdrop, we should refrain from criticizing other nations that eventually bring criticism upon ourselves. Hence, the special privileges that are accorded to Bumiputeras although have been accepted by non-Malays, remain as a double standard in the context of equality as enshrined in our Federal Constitution. Didn’t Malaysia tell PM Modi off when India asked why Zakir Naik, the wanted fugitive of India was granted permanent residency in Malaysia?Ĭitizenship in Malaysia and the rights that are attached to it, as we all are well aware are divided between Bumiputeras and the non -Malays. So does India or Singapore have the right to interfere in Malaysia’s affairs? On that note, I think PM Modi would be very keen to interfere in Malaysia’s affairs using the same argument. If Malaysia starts to interfere with the internal laws of other countries, then it will open up to a lot of interpretation on non-interference policy amongst nations.įor example, some may view democracy in Malaysia as being very limited in its true sense compared with the practice in India.

This was despite such principles and purposes being outlined by the Charter of the United Nations on non-intervention into the internal affairs of another foreign state. All in the name of creating better versions of ourselves.Tun Mahathir Mohamad’s criticism of India’s new citizenship law are not in sync with established diplomatic practice of non-interference in any country’s internal affairs.

From flabby tummies, orange-peel cellulite, tired and dry feet, bingo wings for arms to under-eye baggage and pimples, the surgeon-turned-Clarins-CEO has a tip, answer and product for all our beauty questions and annoyances.

Which foods will help from the inside and what types of creams, exfoliators and treatments will aid from the outside. The book is super cute – I especially love the illustrations, by Soledad Bravi – has loads of useful tips that cover the whole body.ĭull skin? Tight skin? Red skin? Monsieur Courtin-Clarins has a solution to try for all of it. Lucky for me, this week I have a little extra help as I’ve been paging through the funny and useful “Doctor, I want to be the fairest of them all” written by Olivier Courtin-Clarins. By Wednesday the boulangeries (every 20 meters or so) have cruelly lured me in, the cold weather has hampered my l’eau intake, the school run has messed with my cellulite cream and Mr Sandman keeps missing my apartment on early his rounds! However, this doesn’t stop me from enthusiatically starting each Monday with a “ this week will be different” mantra. Every Monday morning I promise myself to lay off the baguette, drink more water, eat more raw veggies, use a cellulite cream religiously every day, oh and get to sleep earlier to help my ever darkening black eye bags.
