<div style="margin-bottom: 25px;">
来届大选跫音渐近,行动党政治教育主任刘镇东指出,共有43个巫统议席乃是兵家必争之地,而只要攻下30至40个巫统议席,就可能完成政党轮替。</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
刘镇东发文告说,这43个巫统议席都位于半岛。</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
“巫统的88席中,有14席在沙巴,1席在纳闽,其余的73席在半岛。半岛73席中,有30席可说是经过巫统‘特别设计’,在最坏的情况下也不会败阵的铁堡垒,剩下的43席是我们必须火力全开的战场。”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
“希望联盟与土著团结党必须准备就绪,迎战巫统-伊党-国阵的布局。让巫统输剩30到40个国席,成为新的在野党,并不是不可能。”</div>
<div style="color: brown; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
巫统会否成为在野党?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
刘镇东表示,砂拉越的朋友们经常问他,巫统会否东渡接管砂拉越州政府,并像1994年以后的沙巴那样统治砂州。</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
他说,这样的担忧并非凭空而来,尤其是现任砂州首长阿邦佐哈里与巫统的关系匪浅。</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
不过,他说,面对这种提问,他会反问大家两个问题,即巫统能否熬过来届大选,或巫统会否成为一个新的在野党?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
“很多人普遍认为,巫统无可匹敌,永远不会被打倒。的确,要让一个掌权超过60年的执政党下台,我们需要一股相当强大的海啸。”</div>
<div style="color: brown; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
纳吉领导下巫统最脆弱</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
但他强调,这并不非不可能,而2008与2013年就已见证过政治海啸的发生。</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
“首先,自独立到2004年大选,巫统透过联盟/国阵执政,并得到可观的非巫裔选民支持。然而,巫统在2005年开始走向右倾,大打马来人至上的种族牌,导致半岛其他国阵成员党逐渐失去支持,马华公会、国大党及民政党在2008与2013年大选兵败如山倒。”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
“第二,巫统在2013年后没办法扩张基本盘,因此拉拢伊斯兰党成为了一个很好的选择。巫统希望暗中与伊党串通,将社会撕裂成穆斯林与非穆斯林对立的局面,巫统与伊党的非正式结盟可以因此赢到足够的议席成立联合政府。然而, 巫统与伊斯兰党的合作衍生的问题,是半岛的非巫裔选民,还有沙巴与砂拉越的多数选民不能接受巫统。”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
<img alt="" class="cms-image-scale-screen cms-image-scale-right" src="http://mk-cdn.mkini.net/1089/8d0ad02bab015f565dd58af148db15a8.jpg" height="192" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; float: right; margin-left: 15px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="320" />“第三,首相纳吉个人在2013年大选比巫统对马来人更有号召力,但一马公司丑闻爆发以来,加上糟透的经济政策如消费税、汽油上涨,还有削减医疗和教育等公共开支,纳吉得到的支持已不大如前,甚至沦为巫统的包袱。对纳吉感到不满的巫统领袖与党员,另外成立了土著团结党,让在野党如今可以接触很多之前走访无门的地区。”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
“简单来说,纳吉领导下的巫统,是巫统最为脆弱的时候。”</div>
<div style="color: brown; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
吉打中间选民如造王者</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
根据刘镇东,国阵在2013年大选赢得的133席当中,有60席的得票率低于55%,是国阵的边际选区。</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
他续说,这60席当中,甚至当中有16席的得票率还低于50%。</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
“以柔佛为例,只要有6%的中间选民转向支持在野党,我们就可以拿下国阵至少11个国会议席,包括柔南的巴西古当(国阵得票49.6%)、蒲来(51%)、地不佬(51%)、丹绒比艾(55%)和新山(55.7%);柔北的拉美士(49.5%)、昔加末(50.3%)、礼让(50.7%)、麻坡(51%)、士基央(53.2%)和巴莪。”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 15px;">
“在吉打,国阵的8个边际选区为日莱(50.2%)、居林-万拉巴鲁(51%)、本同(51.5%)、马莫(51.9%)、华玲(52.5%)、锡(52.6%)、尤仑(52.8%)及巴东得腊(54.6%)。根据地方民调,在野党(尤其是与土著团结党结盟后)甚至有机会拿下浮罗交怡与古邦巴素。吉打也是一个非常关键的战场,中间选民左右着10个国会议席的去向。”</div>

Also says the Lord that part of the reason there has not been able to have a greater healing of Malaysia itself is because the church needs to come into more unity. Not that there isn't some unity but a greater level of unity, says the Lord. And the Lord says also the prayer movement you are doing is a great job, and the Lord is going to bring unity among the prayer movements also. For there are many prayer movements but they are not always in unity. They are praying the same things but they are not always praying in unity.<br /><br />The Lord shows me there are many prayer towers that are going be built in Malaysia, and the whole movement will begin to build these prayer towers. And I see to the business leaders, God is going to give you a heart to help fund these prayer towers. And the intercessors are crying out to God but they don't have a home, they don't have a place to go. And the Lord shows me in strategic places in Malaysia, God is going to raise up these 24/7 prayer towers, some of them are quite small now, but actually buildings are going to be built, like some in Indonesia and others.

June 24, 2016. 10:14 pm.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.8px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Assemblies of God is one of the few major denominations in the United States to show continuing growth. But the real story is the ethnic transformation of the Assemblies of God. It is becoming less white and more reflective of the ethnic, linguistic and social diversity that exists in the global church.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.8px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When the Assemblies of God (AG) released its <a href="http://ag.org/top/About/statistics/index.cfm" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">2015 statistical reports</a> this month, the <a href="http://penews.org/news/all-the-gospel-into-all-the-world" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">press release</a> noted that the denomination’s number of U.S. adherents had grown for 26 consecutive years. In 2015, the AG showed growth of 1.4% to 3,192,112 U.S. adherents. This was almost double the <a href="http://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2015/cb15-tps113.html" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">growth rate of the U.S. population</a>, which increased by 0.77%.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.8px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The number of U.S. churches also showed growth (from 12,849 to 12,897, up 0.4%), as did the numbers of members (up 0.3%), ministers (up 0.5%), and major worship service attendance (up 1.7%). Statistics for other key indicators of church health–including conversions and Spirit baptisms and water baptisms–have not yet been released.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.8px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Much of the numerical growth in the Assemblies of God in recent decades has been among ethnic minorities. From 2001 to 2015, the number of AG adherents increased by 21.5%. During this period, <a href="http://agchurches.org/Sitefiles/Default/RSS/AG.org%20TOP/AG%20Statistical%20Reports/2016%20(2015%20reports)/Adhs%20by%20Race%202015.pdf" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">the number of white adherents decreased by 1.6% and the number of non-white adherents increased by 76.8%</a>. From 2014 to 2015, the percentage of white adherents dropped from 57.6% to 57.2%. It should be noted that the number of white adherents in the U.S. includes quickly-growing constituencies of immigrants from places such as the former Soviet Union and Romania. Without these new white immigrants, the white constituency in the Assemblies of God would be falling even more quickly.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.8px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The growth of the Assemblies of God is in marked contrast to most mainline Protestant denominations in the U.S., which have witnessed significant numerical declines in recent decades. From 1975 to 2015, the Presbyterian Church (USA) lost 56% of members; United Church of Christ lost 48%; The Episcopal Church lost 36%; the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America lost 30%; and the United Methodist Church lost 27%. Others showed increases, including the Southern Baptist Convention (20%) and the Roman Catholic Church (42%). During the same period, the Assemblies of God grew by 158%, from 1,239,197 adherents in 1975.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.8px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
While mainline denominations have been declining for decades, in recent years some evangelical groups, such as the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), have also begun to decline. SBC membership has decreased <a href="http://religionnews.com/2016/06/07/southern-baptists-decline-as-assemblies-of-god-grow/" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">for nine straight years</a>, prompting some pundits to predict the slow death of evangelicalism. <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/2016/0610/Southern-Baptists-face-a-familiar-trend-emptier-pews" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Others have pointed out</a> that Pentecostal and non-denominational churches show continuing growth. Faith trends expert <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2015/05/13/nones-americans-christians-evangelicals-column/27198423/" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Ed Stetzer has argued that American Christianity is undergoing “evangelicalization,”</a> noting that the percentage of Americans who identify as evangelical or born-again is increasing. And much of that growth can be attributed to soaring numbers of ethnic minorities in churches.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.8px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In 2015, over 42% of U.S. Assemblies of God adherents were non-white. This is comparable to the ethnic diversity in the U.S. Catholic Church. According to a<a href="http://www.pewforum.org/2015/05/12/americas-changing-religious-landscape/" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">recent Pew study</a>, 41% of U.S. Catholics are now racial and ethnic minorities (up from 35% in 2007). The study also revealed that 24% of evangelical Protestants (up from 19%) and 14% of mainline Protestants (up from 9%) are also racial and ethnic minorities.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.8px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The ethnic breakdown of the AG in 2015 showed significant diversity: Asian/Pacific Islander (4.8%); Black (9.7%); Hispanic (23.0%); Native American (1.5%); White (57.2%); and Other/Mixed (3.9%). These stats suggest that the AG closely mirrors the ethnic makeup of the U.S. population as a whole. The <a href="http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/briefs/c2010br-02.pdf" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2010 U.S. census</a> revealed the following racial breakdown of the U.S. population: Asian/Pacific Islander (5%); Black (12.6%); Hispanic (16.3%); Native American (0.9%); White (63.7%); and Other /Mixed (6.2%).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.8px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The AG districts with the greatest percentage growth in the number of adherents from 2010 to 2015 are as follows: National Slavic (152%), Midwest Latin American (58%), North Dakota (56%), Minnesota (55%), German (51%), Korean (33%), Texas Louisiana Hispanic (29%), Hawaii (29%), South Texas (26%), and Brazilian (24%). Due to the changing borders of the Hispanic districts, which doubled from seven to fourteen in the past six years, data for most of these districts was unavailable for purposes of comparison.</div>

The AG’s growth in America is partly due to immigration. The Assemblies of God is a global church. The Assemblies of God reported 67,992,330 adherents worldwide in 2015. About 1% of the world’s population is AG. Fewer than 5% of AG adherents worldwide live in the U.S. Pentecostals who move to America from other regions of the world often bring with them a faith, burnished by persecution and deprivation, that is an important part of their identity. Pentecostal refugees who move to America are like pollen scattered by a strong wind — they plant churches wherever they happen to land. Strong African, Slavic, Asian, Pacific Islander, and Hispanic AG churches are taking root in American soil, and their congregations sing, preach, and testify in the tongues of their native countries.</div>

Interestingly, this demographic shift is also helping to usher in a global re-alignment of Christianity. Anglican, Presbyterian, and Methodist Christians in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are generally evangelical in belief, if not Pentecostal in worship, and often have much more in common with their brothers and sisters in the Assemblies of God than they do with liberal members of their own denominations in the West.</div>

The Assemblies of God is growing in America, due largely to a transformative demographic shift that has been underway for decades. The founding fathers and mothers of the Assemblies of God laid the foundation for this ethnic shift when they committed the Assemblies of God in November 1914 to <a href="http://ifphc.org/DigitalPublications/USA/Assemblies%20of%20God%20USA/Minutes%20General%20Council/Unregistered/1914/FPHC/1914_04_11.pdf" style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">“the greatest evangelism that the world has ever seen.”</a> In 1921 the Assemblies of God adopted the indigenous church principle as its official missions strategy, in order to better carry out world evangelism. The implementation of this strategy — which recognizes that each national church is autonomous and not controlled by Western interests — resulted in the development of strong national churches and leaders. And now, in a fitting turn of events, those churches are sending missionaries to America.</div>

Tallies for 1975, 1980, and 1985 include stats of predecessor bodies. The AELC was a split from the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) in 1976. The 1975 tally does not include stats for LCMS churches which later formed the AELC, which has the effect of understating the ELCA’s loss from 1975 to the present.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Malaysia is a Rainbow Country, in a sense that it is a unique country with diversity. Its diversified races, religions and cultures existed in acceptance, harmony, tolerance and peace.</div>
<br />
Malaya gained independence from the British in 1957 Aug 31. Few years later Singapore, Sarawak and Sabah gained independence too and joined Malaya in 1963 Sep 16, thus, the formation of Malaysia. Unfortunately, Singapore left in 1965 Aug 9 and became a Sovereign State.<br />
<br />
Many citizens who lived through the old days before 1990 could testify the blessed state as a Malaysian in which every body could enjoy each other. Of course there was the dark age of 1969 May 13 incident which had marred our image. Nevertheless, it had little impact during the days of 1970s and 1980s.<br />
<br />
It was sad that eventually the power that be had steered the country into racial and religious extremism. It was getting worse in the last ten years. It was especially serious in the past one year where the government have many unresolved scandals which plagued the country's currencies.<br />
<br />
Let us continue to pray for Malaysia. We have confidence that God is in control of our nation. We love Malaysia, we don't play up racial issues. All of us are Malaysians no matter what race you are.<br />

<b>The following is a prophecy for Malaysia.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Date: Oct 3 - 4</b><br />
<b>Venue: SIB, Kuching</b><br />
<b>Speaker: Rev. Allen Faubion</b><br />
<br />
<b>Disclaimer:</b> Some people, including Christians, are always critical of Prophecies. They will question the position of the Prophets and labelled them as "Prophets of Doom". However, whether the prophecies came from God is not for us to judge. Prophecies always come with conditions. God requires the Christians to do their parts.<br />

(雪蘭莪‧八打靈再也31日訊)針對網民質疑國慶慶典遊行中的國旗倒反一事,大馬國防衛隊總部公共事務主任巴克提亞諾解釋,國旗遊行的禮儀是,國旗綁在旗桿的那一邊(即藍底及6道紅白相間的橫條)永遠先行,飛揚處(14道紅白相間的橫條)則在後。</div>

<div style="font-size: 15px; padding: 0px;">
他說,因此,當國旗遊行的方向是從貴賓台的左到右,從貴賓台處看,國旗的藍底在貴賓眼裡就變成出現在右上方。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“反之,當國旗遊行的方向是從右到左,從貴賓台處看就如同平日所見(藍底在左上方)。”</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="font-size: 15px; padding: 0px;">
他也補充,國旗禮儀也要求國旗的藍底在貴賓眼裡必須是在上方,而不能在下方。</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; padding: 0px;">
“當遊行隊伍經過貴賓台時,隊員就會不同幅度地舉高國旗,讓國旗向貴賓台呈傾斜狀。”</div>

净选盟4.0集会於昨天(30)晚上和平落幕。净选盟主办方宣称参与2天集会人数共超过50万人;各媒体与警方也提供自身估算数据,报导出席人数数据各不一。该如何计算出席集会者人数?本地艺人关德辉在面子书列出一道简单方程式计算集会人数的小撇步。</div>

他於傍晚5时在面子书列出一道简单模式计算,並按照该方程式算出,出席人数共超过53万人。</div>

根据台湾泛科学网报导,计算出席集会人数方法有下列几种:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: STHeiti, Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
一是「雅克布斯法」(Jacobs Crowd Formula),是至今多为沿用的计算方法。以集会场地面积换算,依疏密程度,再乘以每单位面积的人数计算。这方法比较常用於静態的群眾集会,美国、韩国、菲律宾、新加坡等都用这方法计算集会人数。</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: STHeiti, Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
此外,另一套计算方法是以面积来估算。假如游行人潮非常整齐排成一列一列,只要估算一列有几个人,一条街能容纳几排人,就能估算出一条街上参与游行人数。</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; font-family: STHeiti, Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
另外,估算游行后遗留的垃圾,也是可用来计算人潮规模的方法之一。</div>

"The total number of people who participated in Bersih 4, for the entire 34 hours, is estimated at 500,000," Bersih secretariat head Maria Chin Abdullah said at a press conference today.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26.9999980926514px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
Maria said Bersih, a coalition of NGOs pushing for electoral reforms, would consider hosting Bersih 5 if the demands made during the weekend's rally are not met.</div>

"We don't just want the prime minister to step down, but also to reform our institutions," she said.</div>

The 34-hour rally on Saturday and Sunday saw tens of thousands of participants gathering, mainly along Jalan Tun Perak and aroundf Dataran Merdeka.</div>

However, police estimates suggest that only 25,000 people took part on the first day.</div>

On Dr Mahathir Mohamad's brief appearances at the rally, Maria's deputy Sarajun Hoda said the former prime minister had his own agenda.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26.9999980926514px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
"Firstly, he wants to see Najib step down. Secondly, he wants BN to be in power," said Sarajun.</div>

Mahathir first visited the protest grounds on Saturday evening, stating that he was witnessing "people's power" and that the protesters should carry on.</div>

Yesterday, Mahathir made another appearance, but made it clear that he was not supportive of Bersih's cause, which includes extensive institutional reforms to prevent abuse of power.</div>

However, Mahathir said that street demonstrations were justifiable as a last resort, citing how Filipinos had to take to the streets to depose dictator Ferdinand Marcos.</div>

<b>致民主行動黨:</b></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
本人決定退出行動黨。此信內容已經通過電郵寄至行動黨,可是遲遲沒有收到回應,為了讓本人的看法讓行動黨高層看到,只好把退黨信變成了公開信。</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
本人最初是受到潘儉偉的政治演說的影響而加入行動黨。505大選也自願當了一名選票PACABA小組長。</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
那時,覺得行動黨的領袖還有大將之風,行動黨的理念可以治國,所以鼎力支持。</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
針對火箭月亮風波事件,我對行動黨的政治智慧深感失望。此黨已經不是我原來支持的行動黨;原來不是人人都是我敬佩的“潘儉偉”。</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
個人退黨理由如下:</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<b>(一)政治形象惡劣</b></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
不排除媒體有片面的報道,但是林吉祥,林冠英為首的一線領袖的形象越來越自大,應該不是空穴來風。</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
比如近期回應於伊黨分裂的事件,得理不饒人,火上加油的<a href="http://smarttext.com.my/c.php?c=226&t=http://www.lexus.com.my/en/promotions.html" style="color: #616161; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_new"><span style="border-bottom-color: red; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: red; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">氣勢</span></a>,我不能苟同。分分合合乃政治兵家常事,以一個融合的馬來西亞為大前提,運籌政治智慧穩固民聯為大局才是大事。</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
可惜在這非常時期,不論在東馬西馬的火箭領袖的表現,我只看到了剛烈的焚天燒海,卻看不到深思熟慮的穩重。這樣的領袖,如何治國?</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<b>(二)政治EQ差</b></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
哈迪阿旺說,民聯三大巨頭,各有自己的議程,本來就是眾所周知的。反對腐敗,反對強權才是民聯共同的目標。異中求同,就是伊黨開出最好的下台級。可是DAP認為同床異夢,非友既敵,選擇在伊黨大會期間不留餘地的杯葛而且對空謾罵。如此不友善,不禮貌的行動等同於用行動來說:斷交。伊黨大會,大勝的保守派吞得下這口氣他們就是窩囊!所以伊黨宣佈跟行動黨一刀兩斷,本來就是孤掌難鳴的事,也並非一日之寒。</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
促使民聯關係破滅,行動黨難辭其究。這樣的黨,如何處理未來更大的國事與衝突?</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<b>(三)政治能力低</b></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
伊法落實事件,行動黨的激烈反對本人贊同。但是在激烈反對後,有沒有協商,包容與諒解?民聯合作擁抱之前之後大家都清清楚楚知道伊黨的這個議程。這是一個公開的計時炸彈。現在炸彈引爆了,行動黨都還沒有找到折中的解決方按,這讓我懷疑,1.行動黨一開始就是為了選票,明知山中有虎,偏向虎山行。2.行動黨的政治手腕與能力另我失望。再來,哈迪阿旺跟巫統眉來眼去以是不爭的事實。在關係緊張的當而,行動黨又提出新民聯的概念。這不止斷送了民聯的希望與未來,還可能撮合伊巫聯線。如此短視的言論,真的不敢相信是來自於行動黨高層。</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<b>(四)政治文化爛</b></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
上樑不正下樑歪,行動黨高層領袖牙尖嘴利,批鬥兇狠的習慣根深蒂固。這導致越來越多的行動黨支持者在網上有如政治暴民,把批評行動黨的言論罵的狗血淋頭。如果去小城鎮的咖啡點轉一轉,打聽一下,不難發現很多樸素的叔伯都對行動黨領袖的作風怨言四起。本人認為,行動黨一線領袖沒有做好政治文化模範,導致一部份的行動黨領袖與黨員態度惡劣,不可一世,政治文化低落。借一句馬華名言,魚頭爛了,換政府,路在何方?</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
505的熱血退下了,民聯的挑戰才是真正的到來。本人希望你把我的名字從會員名單刪除的同時也認真地深思我提出的四點看法。</div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px;">
謝謝。</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">PAS, I am so sorry that you may not gain the trust from the non-Muslims, especially from me, again. You have voted to sever relationship with DAP without a debate. You played this game so that all the conservative leaders were voted into the top leadership.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Why were those conservatives so afraid of debate? Because you know the more you debate, the more truth would be seen. For a party which embraces extreme Islam, democracy is seen as a White People’s game!</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">For the past seven years since the 12th general election (GE) in 2008, your behaviour within Pakatan Rakyat was rather dubious, as you have not given up the hudud agenda completely. True enough, this year you have submitted a private member’s bill to Parliament to seek approval for hudud in Kelantan.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">In fact, your ambition to implement hudud is not confined to a single state. You hoped to spread it like wildfire to all states. You even hoped to make Malaysia an Islamic state by forming a unity government with Umno.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">PAS made a blunder by wrongly interpreting the last two GE results. Firstly, PAS did worse in the Parliament seats in the 13th GE than the previous one. So they thought they must be more Islamic in order to gain better Muslim support.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Secondly, PAS had gained more non-Muslim support from in the last two GEs, so they took for granted that the latter had no problems with hudud. They tried to test the ground by pressing for the hudud agenda more vigorously. And the result - a disaster! It backfired! Such a foolish move is likened to one hitting one’s own foot with a stone.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">It was not Pakatan which betrayed PAS but rather the reverse. DAP criticised PAS out of principle. PAS passed the motion to sever relationship with DAP like it was child’s play. Now PAS is still considering whether to uphold the motion which was passed. PAS, do you know what is ‘once bitten, twice shy?’ It was not only DAP which was hurt, but entire non-Muslims who voted for PAS!</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Now, what would I think the next move for Pakatan should be? Either PAS or DAP must leave Pakatan. The coalition could never remain status quo. Because you will never know what PAS would do if Pakatan were to win the next GE. PAS would likely join BN and the latter would rule again. Therefore, a status quo Pakatan will see defeat, because where PAS candidates are, non-Muslims will not vote for them.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">MCA and Gerakan will increase their attack on Pakatan over hudud, too.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span class="subtitle" style="border: 0px; color: #b20000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Abolish the name of ‘Pakatan Rakyat’</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">As such, I would suggest DAP and PKR to cooperate again, and let there be a new party, say PasMa, to join up together with them. The name of ‘Pakatan Rakyat’ must be abolished in order to kick out PAS, and a new name be replaced. It must be done immediately so that all the voters must get familiarised with the new PasMa party logo.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">However, I have a little bit of concern, that is, the Registrar of Societies (ROS) could be a stumbling block. It would delay PasMa’s approval until the last minute. For example, even at this moment, DAP is still in trouble with ROS over which it has yet to receive an official letter from ROS to recognise its party election results which took place several years ago. Could ROS play up with DAP again before GE14?</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Malaysia is definitely in need of intervention from God. Let us continue to pray so that Malaysia will move in God’s direction. We need to have a strong opposition coalition to directly fight with BN in GE14. We need to have more people irrespective of race and religion who are righteous to join DAP, PKR and PasMa, since our electoral system is not free and fair. We bless Malaysia and pray that a new Malaysia will rise up which will be a blessing to the nations!</span><br />

<span style="color: #888888; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 10px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Rev Wong Kim Kong, together with some Christian leaders, formed an NGO called Christians for Peace and Harmony in Malaysia (CPHM).</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Of course, they have the right to form any organisation. But I really doubt their motive as the so-called duty in dealing with matters of other faiths of all Malaysians is mere duplication, as Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM), Council of Churches of Malaysia (CCM) and the National Evangelical Christian Fellowship (NECF) have been playing active roles thus far.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">CPHM launched its formation on June 2. But I was appalled that it chose the five-star Majestic Hotel right in the golden triangle of KL to hold a banquet. It cost a lot of money. NGOs are funded by their respective members and sometimes by the public. As such the trustees are expected to be careful in handling finances.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">As Christians, we the more needed to be thrifty being good stewards approved of the Lord. The money could be put to better use. In times like this, people have less money to spend due to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) but the trustees squandered unnecessarily a la BN-style!</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Putrajaya may not have funded them. But there are many tycoons in certain parties within BN. Rev Wong may claim CPHM is non-partisan and apolitical, but these tycoons may see otherwise as this as an opportune time to re-garner support, and thus would be happily contributing their substance.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Rev Wong may claim that many Christians approached him and expressed their concerns about things happening in this country. But how many was ‘many’? Did the figures become too many that necessitated him to the extent of forming a new NGO? There are many more who are the majority who trust in God for the destiny of this nation instead.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">In my own observation, Rev Wong has never been a non-partisan figure. When he was the general-secretary of NECF, he did invite Dr Mahathir Mohamad to give a speech to the pastors and Christians. Prior to GE12 in 2008, he invited MCA to have a dialogue with the pastors. What about when people requested him to give a similar session to Pakatan Rakyat? Of course in the end it never materialised.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">In conclusion, more NGOs will not solve the problems in this country. The answer is with the PM, Najib Abdul Razak, himself. When there were issues, Malaysians didn’t hear from him. If only he truly exercises his duty as a PM, most of the problems would be solved.</span><br />

I consider myself as part of this support group.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Rev Wong was never part of the group. It was also not a CPHM meeting. He was only invited to share about his new organisation. Many of us are too polite to tell him that we do not plan to attend, but as usual, he made it seem as though he has the support of the 20 pastors there.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Anyway I don’t think he was invited but someone must have lobbied for him to be invited. After all, he is the one trying to reach out to the grassroots. During his speech, there were already several occasions he subtly hit out at Pakatan, Anwar Ibrahim and PAS. Throughout the speech, he subtly hinted that Najib Abdul Razak is good.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">This is why I questioned his motive especially when he claims his organisation is not being partisan. In fact, I recall Paul Low talking about this movement as early as last year or early this year. Without the government’s involvement, do you think this whole thing can take off that easily, along with the big funding?</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">How did they manage to put up a huge signboard in Putrajaya without being ‘attacked’ anyway?</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><br />

Despite concerns over the launch of a new Christian group tonight with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak as its guest of honour, the group's chairperson, Rev Wong Kim Kong, is giving his assurance that the group is strictly non-partisan.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Wong appealed to members of the public to remain calm and to give his group - Christians for Peace and Harmony in Malaysia (CPHM) - some time to prove that it is sincere and honest in its cause.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
"Let us, over time, prove our sincerity and confirm whether we are politicall- motivated or not.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
"Just give us time and allow us, through our future activities and our pursuits, to show whether we are politically-motivated or manipulated by other people," Wong told Malaysiakini when contacted yesterday.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
He explained that it was CPHM that had invited Najib to the launch and “not any other way around”.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The group had extended the invitation the invitation sometime between February and March this year and did not hear from Najib's office until April 28.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Apart from Najib, Wong said CPHM had also invited all Christian cabinet ministers to attend the event, as well as the top two leaders of all political parties, including those from Pakatan Rakyat.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
This would not be the first time he has invited a prime minister to an event either, Wong said.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Previously, he said, as part of his work when he led the National Evangelical Christian Fellowship (NECF), he had successfully invited then Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad to two separate international conferences.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
"When we did it at that time, we also received a lot of criticism. At the end, they saw the results. I still have all the newspaper cuttings," he said.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Wong explained that the CPHM had invited Najib to officiate the group's launch because it felt that it needed backing from someone of his stature.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
"To reach out to other groups that are suspicious of Christians, or not friendly to us, we need someone of influence to give us the credibility to be able to talk to the other side.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
"In the context of Malaysia, different people approach their issues at different levels and in different ways. We are not saying that our way is the best way… our approach is one of the alternatives.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
"We are not the best. We are not the only way. We are just saying that every different individual can influence," he said.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
As for the group's funding, Wong said every cent came from the Malaysian Christian community and none of it was from the government, including the cost of tonight’s launch banquet.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The banquet is to be held at the ballroom of the Majestic Hotel, a five-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Wong said the group raised the necessary funds even before it decided to hold the banquet.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Its practice of raising funds exclusively from the local Christian community is similar to the practice of the other groups that he had been affiliated with, he said, namely the NECF and Malaysian Care.</div>

Asked to explain CPHM's role amid many other Christian groups already in existence, Wong said the other groups were more focused in fulfilling the spiritual needs of Christians.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
In contrast, he said CPHM's target audience is the entire Malaysian population, as CPHM does not aim to fulfil their spiritual needs, but to foster an environment that is conducive for the peaceful co-existence of members of different faiths.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
For example, he said, CPHM would not take up the Allah issue, which is centred on the demand championed by various other Christian groups to allow the use of the word "Allah" as the translation for the word "God" in the Malay language Bible.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
This move is objected by most Muslim groups in Malaysia.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Instead, Wong said, CPHM would take up issues that disrupt interfaith harmony, such as the Taman Medan church protest in April, where Muslim residents demanded that a church there takes down its newly erected Cross.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
"That (protest) disrupted the community. Those incidents create disorder within the community. Then we will voice our opinion," he said.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Wong also justified extending CPHM's invitation to the Malay right-wing group Perkasa, which is seen to be racist despite vehement denials from its president Ibrahim Ali (photo).</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
He said as a member of clergy, he believes in the teaching of the Bible to love all, including one’s enemies.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
"I believe that it is my duty that, whatever attitude or behaviour a person has, it is still my responsibility to forgive and love," he said.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Wong said this applied even to Stephen Ng, against whom he held no grudge despite Ng’s lengthy article questioning CPHM's motivations that had been published in several news outlets, including Malaysiakini.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Overall, Wong said non-Christian groups make up about 30 percent of invited guests to the function tonight, including the G25, which is a group of Malay former senior civil servants promoting moderation.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
As for Christian groups, Wong said the guests included Christians from all denominations, including smaller ones such as the Seventh Day Adventists, as well as most of the head of church denominations.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
As to whether another Malay right-wing group Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) is attending, Wong said he was not sure.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
"I don’t think we invited Isma. No prejudice (against them), sometimes we just overlook. I don't know how it was overlooked.</div>

"I'm not sure whether my colleague did (invite them) or not, I can't remember," he said.</div>

Previously, Ng's articles had raised questions on CPHM's funding and Najib's involvement, and he also asked whether the group is a ploy to help BN win votes.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Wong said Ng had "sneaked into" one of CPHM's meetings to question him, which he had already answered.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
"But this guy, I don't know for what reason, but he twisted (my words) in every way. I have 20 pastors for you to interview to answer whether this guy is telling the truth or not," he chuckled.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.3600006103516px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Nevertheless, Wong said, he does not feel the need to defend himself because people who already know him were familiar with his community services.</div>

"I just don’t want people to fall into that kind of unkind nature," he added.</div>

Putrajaya's endorsement of new non-governmental organisation Christians for Peace and Harmony Malaysia (CPHM) is meant to help endear Muslims to the group and its efforts to restore trust between religions, its president Rev Wong Kim Kong said today.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
Christian-Muslim relations in the past have had a history of distrust, Wong said, and that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and the government support CPHM would instil confidence among the other religions to dialogue with the group.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">

"Tonight you will see the uniqueness of this group," Wong said in reference to the dinner, which was also attended by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Idris Jala and former minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
On how Najib would lend credibility to CPHM given heavy criticism over his handling of debt ridden state fund 1MDB crisis, Wong said the Bible taught Christians to respect authority.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
He said this to reporters after a two-hour seminar prior to CPHM's launch at a dinner in a Kuala Lumpur hotel.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
Wong added that Christians were taught to submit to and obey the government and those God had put in authority.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
"So don't look at the person, as long as he is in position, the Scripture teaches us to honour and respect authority.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
"Just like how we reject homosexuality but we love homosexuals," Wong said ahead of the dinner with 1200 guests in attendance.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
He also stressed that Putrajaya was not funding the NGO but that funds were coming from individuals and corporate bodies.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
Wong, however, said it would not be wrong to accept funds from the government as it was taxpayers' money.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
"Government money is not dirty money, it is taxpayers' money, one day if there is a need, we will still want to partner the government," he said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
When asked if the inception of CPHM would make the interfaith group Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism (MCCBCHST) redundant, Wong denied this, saying that their objectives were different.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
He explained that while the interfaith group was there to defend the religious rights of any particular religion, CPHM's aim was to promote peace and harmony, saying that this would be done through activities.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
He added that they have already secured one such engagement in Segamat, where Christians and Muslims grassroots will sit down at a dinner together in August.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
Wong then used the Taman Medan cross protest as an example saying that while groups like the Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM) and the Council of Churches Malaysia (CCM) would go in to defend the pastor of the church which was forced to bring down the cross, CPHM's role would be to speak up and advice those who participated in the demonstration.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
"When you deal with that kind of situation and try to talk to them, they will think you are fighting them</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; margin-bottom: 9.5px;">
"We will go in as the mediator, so in that sense we will complement the other Christian groups," Wong said. – June 2, 2015.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b>By Dr Tan Eng Bee, Kajang, Selangor</b></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
REFER to a report on the setting up of the Christians for Peace and Harmony
Malaysia (CPHM), headed by the former Secretary-General of the National
Evangelical Christian Federation (NECF), the Reverend Wong Kim Kong. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">From
the report, CPHM may not be looked upon kindly by the different Christian
organisations and the Christian community at large. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It
was also reported that CPHM has the endorsement from Putrajaya. Unfortunately,
Christian organisations, such as the Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM),
and the Council of Churches Malaysia (CCM), among others, have distanced
themselves from CPHM. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">At
a time where any peace initiative by any persons or organisations is most
welcomed, and which, I thought, is commendable to diffuse the deteriorating
racial and religious tension in our motherland, CPHM should have discussed the
need for the set-up with different Christian organisations representing
different denominations in our country before presenting itself to Putrajaya
and the public for acceptance, endorsement and approval. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">CPHM
should have at least discussed and presented its goals and objectives with
national leaders of different denominations and the three national Christian
organisations, namely, CFM, CCM and NECF, before pursuing their initiative any
further. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The
setting up of CPHM is perceived as a rival Christian organisation wanting to
divide the unity of Christians and to usurp the other Christian organisations
already in place representing the different Christian denominations or
communities in our land. At a time when Christians have to act and speak with
one voice, any new organisation purportedly representing the community is
perceived as a stumbling block to their unity and identity. It will weaken the
Christian representation as a unit and a force to be reckon with, with the
powers that be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
doubt Putrajaya wants to see a fragmented, divided and weakened Christian
church, as it is better to deal with the three strong firm Christian
organisations whose representation is unquestionable, indisputable and all
encompassing of the Christians in this land. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Despite
what we know from the media about CPHM, I would think the Christian community
is better served with the national organisations, such as the CFM, CCM and
NECF, which have collectively done a tremendous job in bringing the concerns of
the Christian church to the forefront, and attention of the courts and
Putrajaya for consideration and adjudication. They have acted with utmost
responsibility and commitment, and let none question their integrity and
resoluteness in the handling of issues affecting the community. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
doubt we need another Christian organisation to act for the betterment of the
Christians, unless the Christian community can be convinced that either these
three national organisations have failed their responsibilities to serve them
well. By all counts, they spoke up when issues needed to be addressed by
Putrajaya or when certain man-made rules and laws were found to be detrimental
to Christians. They have carried out their task with utmost respect for the
other faiths, in a restrained manner and with courtesy. In fact, the three
national Christian organisations have acted with commitment and urgency in a
non-confrontational and responsible manner with regard to the issues
confronting the Malaysian churches, such as the liberty or freedom to express
their faith without interference. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
call upon CPHM to make its stand clear to the Christian community, and, at
least, get the endorsement or approval from the three national organisations
before moving further. Without consent from the three, I doubt CPHM will make
any headway, and in the course of trying to make itself visible and relevant,
it may be seen as a catalyst for creating discord and disunity among
Christians, despite its noble aim of wanting to promote peace and harmony among
the different religious and racial groups. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
am not trying to put down CPHM, but I would want, together with local
Christians at large, to see that the newly-created body will not be a stumbling
block to the aspiration and wellbeing of the community. We just want to live
out our faith and belief. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">No
offence or malice meant to anyone. Together with the Christians, I pray for
peace, harmony, unity and goodwill to prevail for the common good of all
religious and racial groups in our beloved land. God bless and prosper
Malaysia. </span></div>

<br />
聖靈充滿的起源:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;">耶穌說:“</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;">我要將我父所應許的降在你們身上.你們要在城裡等候、直到你們領受從上頭來的能力。”~路加福音24:49</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;">使徒行傳1:6-8</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;">他們聚集的時候,問耶穌說:“主阿、袮復興以色列國,就在這時候嗎?”</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;">耶穌對他們說:“父憑著自己的權柄,所定的時候日期,不是你們可以知道的!</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;">但聖靈降臨在你們身上,你們就必得著能力。並要在耶路撒冷、猶太全地、和撒瑪利亞、直到地極,作我的見證。”</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;">使徒行傳2:1-4</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;">五旬節到了,門徒都聚集在一處。</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;">忽然從天上有響聲下來、好像一陣大風吹過,充滿了他們所坐的屋子。</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;">又有舌頭如火焰顯現出來,分開落在他們各人頭上。</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;">他們就都被聖靈充滿,按著聖靈所賜的口才,說起別國的話來。</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;"><br /></span>
陳亞倫牧師當天11時一刻被連漢雄牧師邀請到半山芭第一神召會講道。沒什麼比在那裡講道更適合的了,因為它是馬來西亞神召會第一個教會,擁有81年的歷史。<br />
