Unlike Fitna, this film made a clear distinction between the radicals, who are the minority, and law-abiding Muslim citizens, who are the majority...so cheers to that.
But a bigger task awaits us: Where do we draw the line between what is radical and what is not?
I am impressed with Khairy Jamaluddin. He is indeed capable of making cogent arguments when he is not playing politic. However, much as I would like to agree with him that students find learning Math and Science in English really difficult, I’m afraid the system must go on.
By claiming that the system fails to improve English proficiency among students, Khairy is evidently an impatient guy. One year of learning Math and Science in English and you expect them to speak and write English like you? Come on, get real Khairy. I live in New Zealand for almost 3 years already, yet I still can’t make sense of the Kiwi accent, let alone talk in that accent. Given the policy is only 1 year-old, it is only natural that it hasn't been fruitful.
And of course there are flaws in the policy, one of them being Math and Science teachers not proficient in English themselves. But this is just as true as not all Math and Science teachers are proficient in Bahasa too. I had first hand experience learning Phisics with a teacher who can barely speak in Bahasa; most of the time she taught us in English. Malay...
Calculating ratios is indeed what most people (including me) thought what Financial Statement Analysis is all about. But after reading the first chapter of TKWAV, my view has changed whereby I realised they are of no good to me in assessing my firm’s value mainly because the figures are historical – they tell us little about the future.

They tell me what has happened in the business in the past, what’s happening now, and some hints about where the firm is heading in the future. I feel like I can talk about Dexion with greater confidence.
After calculating the come financial ratios, I thought I should compare them to the industry trend, but unfortunately I can’t find a firm similar...
I have quoted Malik Imtiaz Sarwar a few times in my writing. I look up to him as a person who is brave enough to delve into the issues of race and religion. I may not necessarily agree with all his principles, but I believe credit is due to his effort in trying to tackle the 'real issues', unlike many others who are more interested in manipulating them to serve their own interests.
His commitment in finding solutions for a stronger and more united Malaysia is evident in his act of launching a website called "Project Malaysia". With the intention of sharing my thoughts with others, I sent in my writing about my experience attending some interfaith talk here in New Zealand. And it has just been on-line recently today. This is my first article being published. Comments are welcome. Apologies if it is not up to your standard or expectation :D.
