Prophecy on Malaysia during The Feast of Tabernacle in Kuching on 2015 Oct 3 & 4

10 Oct 2015


Allen Faubion
Glory of Zion International Ministries

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

---------------------------------
The following is a prophecy for Malaysia.

Date: Oct 3 - 4
Venue: SIB, Kuching
Speaker: Rev. Allen Faubion

Disclaimer: 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.

Prophecy for Malaysia:

God is government and the government of Malaysia is upon His shoulders. There will be signs of change at Putrajaya in the next 30 days.

Be ready for economic highs and economic lows for the nation of Malaysia in the coming months. We are in the economic lows, and have great anticipation for economic highs.

Economic highs are in days ahead.  God's plan for Malaysia, until the January of 2016, is for us to shift into the economic highs.

We decree & declare that the Malaysian’s political & economic structures will be adjusted abruptly to God's plan, and there will be no other substitute but everything Godly! Amen!

God's Word is everlasting, and we must stand firm upon HIS Word and the promises of Him for our nation.  God is our source.  We should be at the center of His heart and, above all, STAND FIRM in a time of the nationwide "shifting sand!"

The Year 5776 has the Divine double portion of grace to slay all giants in our path and all mountains looming over our life. Our weapons of warfare are the shofar and the Divine provision for year, a tent peg (Vav/Waw). 

No human has ever seen the fullness of what is ahead but Malaysia will enter her destiny destined by God. 

All will acknowledge our God is Sovereign! 

Amen!

One step forward for Indonesia, one step back for Malaysia

Peter Hartcher

Sydney Morning Herald political and international editor



While Indonesia marked another democratic advance on Monday, democracy in neighbouring Malaysia goes backwards.

Indonesia inaugurates the man that most voters chose to be leader, while Malaysia concludes a sham trial to destroy the man that most voters chose to be leader.

Indonesia is conducting the first transfer of power from one directly elected president to another.
<i>Illustration: John Shakespeare</i>
Illustration: John Shakespeare
And Malaysia? It remains under the control of the same party that has ruled continuously since independence in 1957.


"While Indonesia is making huge progress, we are rewinding and the democratic space is going back to the Mahathir era of the 1990s," says Malaysia's opposition treasury spokesman, Rafizi Ramli, during a visit to Australia on Monday. "We have not recovered from last year's election."

There is more than democracy at stake. A professor of political science at Monash University's Malaysian campus, James Chin, says: "In Malaysia, politics is being hijacked by political Islam. It really worries me. They are putting Malay supremacy together with Islamic supremacy."


The foundation stone of the perennially ruling party was always racial discrimination – special favour to native Malays over all other citizens, including the country's sizeable Chinese and Indian minorities.

But now it's pursuing policies of religious discrimination as well, says Mr Chin: "Previously, they tried to regulate the body and behaviour of Muslims; now, they are trying to regulate the body and behaviour of non-Muslims too."

He contrasts this with Indonesia, where a secular state does not impose Islamic standards on other faiths. It's one thing to fine Muslims for drinking alcohol, says Mr Chin, but now there are attempts to penalise non-Mulsims taking part in Oktoberfest in Malaysia.

The authoritarian nature of the Najib government will be on display to the world next week when it renews its courtroom persecution of the opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim.

Anwar was the subject of one of the world's most ridiculous political persecutions, an effort by the then prime minister, Mahathir Mohammed, to ruin him by accusing him of sodomy. And now, a ruling on the sequel: Sodomy 2.

He was the deputy prime minister to Mahathir when they had a falling out in 1998. The foolish and farcical pursuit of Anwar failed to ruin him, but it did turn him into a formidable leader of the opposition.


Anwar spent six years in jail before a court overturned his conviction. He emerged to lead an energised campaign at the 2013 election. So the Malaysian people delivered their own verdict on Anwar and his Pakatan Rakyat, or People's Pact party.  

The opposition under Anwar won 51 per cent of the vote at the 2013 election, but only 40 per cent of parliamentary seats.
It was a record result for an opposition and it shook the government. Even in a manipulated system, the ruling party, for the first time, had failed to win a majority of votes.

The result scared the government of Najib Razak into reviving its favoured tactic for repressing Anwar:  the charge of sodomy. Sodomy 2 had been running for a while, but after the High Court knocked out the latest sodomy charge against the married father of five, the government took its trumped-up case to Malaysia's Court of Appeal.

The Court of Appeal overturned the High Court. It gave Anwar a five-year jail sentence. He is free on bail pending appeal. On the weekend he flew home from London to Kuala Lumpur for final appeals. His supporters fear the outcome: "Quite a few of my friends have tried to persuade me to stay away," Anwar told British media just before boarding the plane home.

The prosecution is asking for an even longer jail term.

In an extraordinary illustration of the government's contortions in its manic determination to get Anwar, the prosecution will not be led by the a lawyer from the prosecution system but a private lawyer hired by the state. Experts say there is no precedent in Malaysian jurisprudence.


In fact, the prosecution is to be conducted by the personal lawyer for Mr Najib.

The political crackdown is much wider than Anwar. Human Rights Watch has detailed at least 14 cases this year where the government has brought spurious charges against political opponents and activists under the 1948 Sedition Act. One opposition politician faces the prospect of five years in jail for saying "damn UMNO". UMNO is Najib's political party.
The Najib government has two options, according to the opposition's Rafizi Ramli: "It can reform and allow more democratic space. Or they can go for the crackdown, and risk an even worse backlash from the public."

He has personal experience of the crackdown. Before entering politics he ran a corruption-busting NGO that exposed a Najib government minister misusing a $A90 million taxpayer loan. Instead of setting up a cattle farm, she was using the money to buy luxury apartments.

The expose forced the minister to resign. But now Mr Ramli is the one facing jail. He's facing the risk of three years in jail for breaching banking secrecy laws in disclosing the corruption. Mr Ramli, the man who busted the scam, is the only person charged over it.

Mr Ramli, also the secretary-general of the opposition party, is in Canberra on Tuesday, leading a delegation. He's hoping to convince Australian politicians to help coax Mr Najib  from authoritarianism to democratic openness.
Professor Chin says Mr Ramli has no hope of support from the Australian government: "The Abbott government loves Najib."

Australia favours the Najib government based on a long-standing view that Malaysia is a modern, Western, secular, like-minded power in a region fretting about a backward Indonesia, he says.

But Indonesia is modernising and it is Malaysia that is going backwards. "The romantic view of Malaysia," says Chin, "is based on a country that hasn't existed for the last ten years."'
Peter Hartcher is the international editor.

Cindy Jacobs' Prophecy on Malaysia



Date: September 12, 2014
Venue: Glad Tidings A/G, Section 13, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

There is a Great Awakening coming to Malaysia. My glory is going to wash Malaysia from the north, to the south, from the east to the west. The Lord God said “I am going to pour out My Spirit, the former and the latter rain; together I am going to raise up a generation of miracle workers. This anointing is going to hit schools, it’s going to hit primary schools, it’s going to hit, particular, look to the coast line of Malaysia.” “I am coming,” says the Lord “to visit the coast. And it’s not going to stay because I am coming like a mighty tsunami of glory,” says the Lord. “And I am coming in such a way as you cannot imagine,” says the Lord.

辛蒂雅各牧师于2012年为马来西亚发的三个预言

辛蒂雅各牧师


辛蒂雅各牧师第一个预言 –– 第四场,2012年8月3日 – 星期五上午

主说政治和宗教的风气联合要来搅扰这次的大选。主说不要让那政治的风气来影响你的想法,不要让它控制教会如何投票。主说,我有我的计划给这个国家,甚至给下一个大选,我已经预备好要来摇动,摇动再摇动。主说,我知道当如何做。不要以为自己懂得如何行以阻扰我的计划,现在是时候寻求我和断绝要摇晃这次大选的黑暗的势力。

我特别要对东马的人说话。 主说,我给东马一个打开国家命运之钥匙。主说, 东马的教会当兴起。你要成为我的关键,是用来打开和关上命运。主说,当开始禁食和祷告,就从今天开始!我会在东马兴起一股先知代祷之风,主说圣灵之风即将吹起,上帝的复兴之火将被释放,整个地区将经历圣灵的运行,主说。

所以主说道,这个国家正处在一个历史的交叉点, 在未来的日子你们将左右这国家的未来。但是主说,若我的子民听我的呼召,现在还有时间可以带来改变。

奉耶稣之名,我捆绑要来困扰影响这次选举的政治和宗教的风气。我们宣告,你们不能再一起工作。你们不能再有关联。今天我们要斩断你们的联结,我们宣告神的旨意在地上被成就如同在天上!



辛蒂雅各牧师第二个预言 – 第二晚公开聚会 – 2012年8月3日

今晚在教会主让我看见, 有警醒的人,亦有带动复兴的人。他们好像改革者马丁路德。圣灵和神的话语开始对我说话,好像先知发预言一样。圣灵说,在这禧年,众教会要前进。大使命被赋予马来西亚的教会, 去,使万民作我的门徒和医治有病的人。

主向我说,如果马来西亚的教会愿意的话,我正预备着致使它们来行出使徒行传的生命。你知道,五旬节意味着欢庆。 圣灵已经预备大大地倾倒圣灵的恩膏。如今你在前进中,你正处在改变的过渡期,听我说……你们是从一个时间到了一个新的节期。要把握时机,你需要抓住上帝所定的时刻。如果你有参于早上的研讨会,当中有哭泣,我知道它如难产。但有时我们不知道怎么做,因为那是圣灵的工作。圣经说有各种的圣灵的工作,所以我们尽管向上帝说……“我们要的是一个巨大的苏醒!我们要从过去的季节转移到使徒行传的五旬节!”我们要改变。我们要说,“上帝!就是现在。“它像齿轮般前进!

当你看到圣灵降临,3000人得救。圣经说上帝把得救的人天天加给教会。当你开始看使徒行传,你发现有很大的属灵争战在他们身边,圣灵对我说,你正走向一个新的季节而当中却会有冲突,但不要害怕。最终上帝的国必定掌权,撒旦必会被击退。你知道了吗?

这正是很好的消息!你不是一个旅客。你真的可以带来改变。上帝美好的旨意要从天上临到地上,你明白了吗?

因此,我们必须合作。圣经使徒行传4:31说:–“ 祷告完了,聚会的地方震动,他们就都被圣灵充满,放胆讲论神的道。”我喜欢尼日利亚人说,“圣灵”(Holy Ghost),他们放胆传讲上帝的道。人说千千万万的信徒同心合意。某些超自然的事情发生在他们的心。

上帝的灵就开始在圣经使徒行传5:28运行,他们威胁说。“我们不是严严地禁止你们,不可奉这名教训人吗?你们倒把你们的道理充满了耶路撒冷…”整个城市都听到福音了!

上帝可以改变城市吗?上帝可以改变城市吗?

上帝可以带来马来西亚巨大的苏醒吗?上帝能赐下大复兴吗?

上帝今天要倾倒使徒行传的能力吗?上帝要通过你完成这事情吗?

你要成为一个带来复兴的人吗?

你要圣灵的能力充满你吗?

如果是这样,到这里来,让我们这样做!



辛蒂雅各牧师第三个预言 – 第二晚公开聚会 – 2012年8月3日

主说,我不但要唤醒教会,我更要唤醒整个马来西亚对于公义这件事。

上帝说我要准备摇动系统。 我要摇动结构。上帝说,我要摇动所有看似不能被摇动的。不要惧怕这新改变因我要做一件新的事情,我要在国会释放改革的恩膏。我要在这个国家的政治领袖释放改革的恩膏, 上帝说。我要兴起一个而降卑另一个。这是神所预定的时间,我要使马来西亚转向她的命运,我要释放经济的复兴,因贪污的灵被推倒。

主说,我要使这个国家成为别国所惊叹的。你必借给许多国民,却不至向他们借款。

上帝说,我将运行如强大的风,要将千计的灵魂吹进上帝的国里。若一间教会有一百人,他们会成为一千人。若教会有一千人,他们会成为两千人、三千人。我要开始以不同凡响的方式建造大型教会, 主说。

主说,其中一个伟大的神迹会在大学里发生,上帝说,我会在大学里兴起二十四小时祷告。我会大大地与年轻人同行。等着看, 我更会在参与代祷的大学教授中动工……。还有栽培工程学的学府,上帝说,我会动工。

主说, 我会准确的安排这次的大选。它不会来得太早,也不会来得太迟。当我的教会开始禁食祷告,每一天应当有人为这个国家禁食祷告,上帝说,我一定会开始行曝光的事,主说。

辛蒂雅各的评语:
你明白这是一个上帝所预备的时间吗?

上帝是一位创造历史的上帝。他是历史的上帝。主说,这个国家处在一个转捩点。这是历史上一个关键点,就像之前所说的。主说对东马说……。你是这次大选的关键。

你将会对你的孩子说,“当上帝说大唤醒要来临时,我就在其中……。”我还记得当年我参与预言阿根廷大复兴,就像今晚, 当时我预言,小教会将会成为千人、万人教会,它真的发生了。你知道吗,当一个国家的黑暗权势被瓦解时,有谁不想得救呢?当人真的能看见耶稣时,人心就向上帝打开,那就是复兴。现在就像妇人怀胎的时候一样。

但转变是一个很严肃的时刻。它有可能变得更好或相反。所以任由你决定要不要祷告,由你来决定你的立场。

给马来西亚国际透明组织主席刘胜权的预言:

主说,“零贪污,无妥协!我所揭穿的事将会成为头条新闻…….。” 上帝说,我要开始揭穿幕后国家与国家间暗中进行的贪污事件,当我开始动工无人能豁免!他们将无法买通律法而不被绳之于法,无法再靠关系脱身,因我是天上的审判者,我会审判这一切。我说,这个国家不再因贪污而削弱。

这将会是一个圣洁的民族,上帝说,为我分别为圣。

The Three Prophecies on Malaysia by Rev. Cindy Jacobs in 2012


Rev. Cindy Jacobs

PROPHECY 1 BY REV. CINDY JACOBS - Session 4 August 3 – Friday
Morning

“And the Lord would say there’s been a marriage of a religious and a political
spirit that is trying to affect this election. And God says, Do not let even that
political spirit affect the way you think, says God, and the way the Church votes.
For God says, I have a plan for this Nation even in the next election and I am
getting ready to shake and shake and shake, says God. But God says, I know what to do. Do not thwart my plans by thinking you know the way to go, for this is the time for the church to seek Me and disengage from the powers of darkness that want to sway the election.

I want to particularly speak to East Malaysia. And the Lord says, East Malaysia I
am giving you a key to unlock the destiny of a nation, says the Lord. And the Lord says, let the Church of East Malaysia arise. And I am making you My hinge, says the Lord, that will open and close a destiny, says God. And God says, Begin to Fast and Pray.. Now! ..from today. I will raise up a movement of prophetic intercession in East Malaysia, says God that will become a wind of the Holy Spirit and it is going to begin to release the Fire of God in revival that will lead the whole region experiencing a move of the Holy Spirit, says God.

So the Lord says, you as a Nation are in fact at the moment of a hinge of history,
where You were even open the destiny wider Or for a season it will be shut close
in the terms of advancement. But God says, there is time, if my people will pray
and heed my call.

So in the Name of Jesus, I bind the political spirit that is trying to affect this
election, and the religious spirit. And we say: you will no longer be in cooperation. You will no longer be in connection as it were a marriage together. We cut your tie today and we decree the will of God done on earth as it is in heaven!”



PROPHECY 2 BY REV. CINDY JACOBS – 2ND NIGHT PUBLIC RALLY –
AUGUST 3, 2012

Lord is showing me in the Church this evening, there are awakeners, there
are revivalists. There are those that are like a Martin Luther who is a Reformer.
And the Holy Spirit began to speak to me and from the Word of God and it’s like
prophets can prophesy and then they can share a moment… And this is what the
Holy Spirit spoke to me: He said that in this year of Jubilee, we are moving, we,
the corporate Church. But the Church of Malaysia has been given, of course….
The Great Commission, to go and make disciples of nations and heal the sick.

And the Lord said to me, I am getting ready to actually cause the church of
Malaysia that if they are willing, TO LIVE THE BOOK OF ACTS! And you know,
Pentecost means Jubilee. And the Holy Spirit is getting ready to pour out an
anointing for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with great power. And so you are
moving right now. You are in transition. Listen to me… You are going from one
time to a new season. And there are Kairos moments that you need to grab a hold of. If you are in conference earlier today, when there was weeping, I recognized it as travail. But sometimes we do not know what to do with that, because there is an administration of the Holy Spirit. The Bible says there are diverse kinds of administration and so we are going to take the anointing in the House to say… “God! We want a GREAT AWAKENING! We want to shift from the last season TO THE BOOK OF ACTS - PENTECOST!” We want a shifting. We want to say, “God! Now!” Its like Shifting Gears!

And as you see that as the Holy Spirit fell, 3,000 were saved. The Bible says that
God added daily to the Church. And as you begin to look to the Book of Acts,
you find out there were great warfare around them, and the Holy Spirit spoke to
me that you are moving to a new season where there is going to be clashes but
don’t fear it because there is violence in the heavens and the Spirit’s realm over
what’s about to take place. Just like in the Book of Acts. Every time the Kingdom
advances, there were push backs from Satan’s realm. Are you getting this?

That’s good news! You are not a tourist in your own country. You are really
bringing change. The Will of God being pulled from heaven to earth. Are you
understanding this?

And we must cooperate. And then the scripture, it says in Acts 4:31 – “they pray
at the place where they were assembled together were shaken; and they were
all filled with the Holy Spirit.” I like the Nigerian says, the “Holy Ghost” and they
spoke the Word of God with boldness. It says the multitude of the believers were
of one heart, one soul. Something happened supernaturally to their hearts.

And God began to move and in Acts 5:28, they threatened and said, “Did we
not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled
Jerusalem with this man’s doctrine…” A whole city was reached!

Can God transform cities? Can God transform cities?

Can He bring a great awakening to Malaysia? Can He bring a great revival?

Doesn’t He want to pour out the Book of Acts today? Doesn’t He want it to do
through you?

Don’t you want to be a revivalist?

Don’t you want the power of the Holy Spirit to move through you?

If so, get up here & let’s make it so!

PROPHECY 3 BY REV. CINDY JACOBS – 2ND NIGHT PUBLIC RALLY –
AUGUST 3, 2012, FRIDAY

“The Lord would say over Malaysia, I am getting ready not only to awaken you as
a church. But I am going to awaken righteousness in this Nation, says the Lord.

And God says I am getting ready to shake systems. I am going to shake structures says God. I am going to shake everything that cannot be shaken. But God says, Do not fear, the shaking because I am ready to do a new thing for I am going to release a reformation anointing upon the parliament. I am going to release a reformation anointing on the governmental leaders of this Nation says God. And the Lord says, I am going to put one up and bring another down. And God said, This is a Kairos moment of turning says the Lord, where I want to turn Malaysia to her destiny and I want to release an economic revival as the spirit of corruption is pulled down says God.

And the Lord said, I want to make this Nation a wonder to many nations. So you
will lend to many nations and not borrow.

And God says, I am going to move like a mighty rushing wind to such a degree
that thousands upon thousands will be swept into the Kingdom. And there are
those churches that are 100 members. They are going to be 1,000 members.
There are some that are 1000 members and they are going to be 2,000 and 3,000. I am going to began to grow mega churches in outstanding ways, says the Lord.

And the Lord said, one of the greatest wonders, will be on the university
campuses, says God. I am going to raise up 24hr houses of prayer on the
University Campuses. And I am going to move with the young people in a great
way, says God and the Lord said, “Watch and see”, what I will do even among
the professors, who intercede… and the engineering schools, the schools of
engineering, says God, I am going to move.

And the Lord says, I am going to time this election precisely. It will not come
a moment too soon. It will not come a moment too late, says the Lord. For I
would say, as my Church begins to fast and pray, every day THERE SHOULD BE SOMEONE FASTING AND PRAYING FOR THIS NATION, says God, Surely I will begin to do some outstanding exposures, says the Lord.”

Excerpts of prophecy to Bro Paul Low (Transparency International- Malaysia)
related to the nation.

Cindy Jacobs' Comments:
Do you understand what a kairos moment this is?...

God is a History making God. He is the God of History. And the Lord said, this
nation was at a point, a turning point. It is at the hinge of history, that’s what He
said earlier today. And the Lord spoke over East Malaysia… And God said over
East Malaysia that you are the key to the election, the key.

You will be able to say to your children, “I was there when God said the great
awakening would come..” I remember being a part of the great Argentine revival
prophesying the kind of things I did tonight. That churches that were small would
become a thousand, ten thousand. It happened. You see, when the powers of
darkness are neutralized over a nation, who wouldn’t want to be saved? ..if they
could really see Jesus. People become so open to the Lord, and that’s revival. It’s a very… pregnant moment.

But Transition is a serious time. It could go one way or the other. So it’s up to
you to pray, it’s up to you to stand up.


Prophecy for Paul Low, The President of Transparency International Malaysia: 
And the Lord would say, “Zero Corruption, No tolerance!.... And what I expose is
going to be headline news,..” And God says, “I am going to begin to expose the
international connections that prop up the corruption behind the scenes and God
says no one will be exempt when I begin to move! They will not be able to buy
their way out of it, they will not be able to say I’m from this family, they will be
able to say, I have that connection. Because I am the great Judge of Heaven, I’m
going to take this to court. And I am going to say this nation will not be crippled
with corruption anymore!” says the Lord.

This is going be a Holy Nation, says God, set apart for me.

同性婚姻应该是私事

男人跟男人结婚,女人跟女人结婚,在我们这个小社会吹皱一池春水。

除了一些宗教团体根据固有价值观公开反对之外,比较收敛的平面媒体有一些文章,虽然不表同意,却也是欲言又止,点到为止。

不过,知名写作人黄子的一篇《威过北港的大马香炉》,对于好此道者的不知其丑、以丑为美、大事张扬的行为,无法掩饰他的厌恶之感。

我有同感。

人权自由扭曲道理

在人权自由的大幌子下,道理会被扭曲。对于此种“打破世俗观念”的同性婚姻现象,除了强势的宗教敢出声之外,以常理看问题的人即使不能苟同也不敢出声反对,因为一反对就是
守旧落伍反人权,害怕得罪不起一班前卫分子。

一样米养百样人,百样人之中就有逐臭之夫,以臭为香。如果有人喜欢嗅臭袜子,那是他的人权,但拜托自己嗅好,不要拿来当风扬。

对于性倾向异常的人,他们与同性成双成对,或者他要去挨刀变性,都是他们的私事,别人也没有什么好说的;可是把这种事拿来大事宣扬甚至鼓吹就不同了,因为这样一来就不再是
私事,而变成了一个公共卫生的问题,也就是道德的公共卫生。

我们的两性道德观念尽管千差万别,总离不开大自然法则,那就是阴阳化物,两性结合为了传宗接代,延续种群。

传宗接代不让人类绝种

各民族的人祖神话,也都是从男女两个祖先开始。传宗接代是天职,其他不论玩什么花样都不是正道。所以,道德公共卫生的基调就是维护异姓婚姻,不让人类绝种。

华人对于同性恋其实很宽容,所以历史上的断袖、分桃这些“男色”玩意都没有受到批判,有娈童癖者也没有受到歧视。用现在的话说,就是尊重他们的人权。

都说了,臭袜子可以自己嗅不可当风扬,嗅臭袜是他的个人卫生,但不可影响到公共卫生。

打个比喻,我们喜欢吃榴梿,洋人厌恶榴梿。吃榴梿是我们的权利,洋人也尊重我们的权利。但是,我们却被禁止在飞机上吃,也被禁止在五星级酒店吃。

为什么?就是行使权利的时候,不能让别人觉得不舒服,要照顾公共卫生。

老实说,把同性结婚铺排成为“世纪婚姻”似的大事宣扬,很令人不舒服。显然,他们这么张扬,是为了造势,声势一成,以后更没有人敢说事。

为了不让人类绝种,要敢敢反对同性婚姻合法化。

威过北港的大马香炉

《北港香炉人人插》,出版时非常经轰动。但因为早前读过作者的中篇《暗夜》,说其文字朴素可以,粗糙也不妨;既然以文字为媒介,文字的审美情趣,总不能缺吧?故此,对其作品,也就兴趣缺缺了。

轰动是因为那个丰胸肥臀被冠上“建国妖姬”女政客,对号入座,一把眼泪一把鼻涕地要索回清白, 而作者则被指是公报私仇用小说影射情敌,台湾媒体遂将之定性为“两个女人的战争”。在作者已死,文学正在死亡中,文学作品萧瑟的年代,普通书籍初版两千, 从此没有再版,小说竟因此印了20万本,实销也有16万本,真利害!
“北港香炉”,因此名扬华人地区;后来法国人搬上舞台,更是锦上添花。

北港香炉太地方性

当初哭诉被毁谤为“表哥四五桌”的“公共厕所”;后来提升到更高境界,是革命志士都想上一回的 “豪华公共汽车”;表哥的人数,不能用增法,而是要用减法──哪个同志没上过──才能计算出,多少人上过。再后来,改行当名嘴的女政客,大彻大悟,得道作 仙,不再以这为耻,反倒以豪放为荣,公然宣称昔日敌营中的马英九是她最理想的one night stand的对象了!

如此看来,她的道根不高,远远比不上Buatan Malaysia,国际共用的大马第一香炉了!

嫁黑嫁白公告天下

北港香炉,同志们个个想上一回;但上香的男人,个个都是“台湾表哥”,不只是同一种族,而且还是讲台语的同一籍贯,太地方性,太单一性了。

大马的第一香炉,打从十岁在家乡的泳池被人上香之后,来到雪隆升学:深夜搭末班巴士,就让巴士佬上;中国话“搭的”,就让德士佬上;萍水相蓬,街头巷尾,只要一个眼神,就是一炷香;除了娶妻那几年,从大马到美国,真是承香无数。

北港香炉从四五十个表哥,升级到用减法才能算出多少香客,小说一出版,那女政客就哭哭啼啼,大 喊冤屈。可人家大马第一香炉,则是高调出柜,自己著书,津津乐道其失身史──虽然是简史,没有一一细数,正如饮食,除非是皇帝的起居,否则毋须餐餐细载, 读者可以类推。若以量计,大马第一香炉,至少可与北港香炉打个平手;若论悟道,年纪更轻,就已认定被人上香是光宗耀祖、绝对真理了──论得道之早,更胜一 筹。

自从到美国留学之后,在被人嘲为吃足软饭,才休妻,更是走上国际路线,虽未曾一一细表,但至少 先公告与白人天使共筑爱巢,现在高调嫁给黑人──看清楚,是嫁黑人咧──还有比这更荣耀的伟业?其一举一动,不但要昭告大马国民,现在有法新社这全世界最 浪漫的法国人的通讯社为他电传全球。

资助婚礼吸引游客

北港香炉名气大,但始终不过是地方性、单族性的法器;大马香炉,则是从大马走向国际,肤色五彩缤纷。北港香炉人人要上一回,但没人敢娶回家;大马第一香炉,万族共用,退可娶,进可嫁,婚礼何止世纪性,还要两国隆重演出呢。

北港香炉,顶多名扬华人区的四海;大马第一香炉,何止光宗耀祖,还为国争光,扬威国际呢。

大马政府不应禁之,有道的宗教人士说,不能祝福,就别出声,否则,活该被斥为原教旨主义;反应拨款赞助其婚礼,以吸引游客复得文明开放的美名──如此一来,更多父母将生了儿子,可得个女婿;生个女儿,还会多个媳妇,包赚。

为何提倡同性恋?

最近,本地有两个女子高调“结婚”,我们的报章不约而同形容为“打破世俗观念”,“同志新人”,报道她们“不惧他人异样的眼光”…。

什么叫“打破世俗观念”?什么又叫“同志”?

说打破“异性结婚”的世俗观念,显然是表明同性结婚是对的,是好事,不然为什么要去“打破”它?我们有“破旧立新”的成语,中国近代也有“破四旧”运动。所以,只有坏的事物,才会去“打破”。

如果用“反世俗观念”,那又不同,是在说明一个事实,没有赞同的意味。

同性恋并非一种志向

“同志”又是什么?为什么只有应用中文的同性恋群体自称、被称为“同志”,从没见过西方的此道中人以“comrade”来称呼?

以中文来说,“同志”一词早期是左派专用来指党员战友,“志同道合”之意,至今不变。其他政党后来也用这个词来称呼同一政党的党员。

香港的同性恋名人迈克也用这个词来称呼同道中人,港台媒体呼应,也就形成了“气候”。德高望重如星云大师,对同性恋课题也只能说“不可说”,显示这股“气候”的威力大到什么程度。

为什么同性恋要以“同志”来称呼,而不是直截了当的同性恋?或者“同恋”、“同娈”?

名正了,言才顺。他们应该是认为,称为“同志”才“正当”。我认为,理由至少有两个:一、“同性恋”这个名称虽然没有恶意,却不够“正面”。二、“同志”最适当,虽然西方人没有这么做。

颠覆家庭道德观念

我认为,这个群体根本没有条件可以用这个称呼。直截了当的理由是,同性恋绝对不是一种志向,只能是一种性取向,一种选择。那么,为什么提升为志向?什么时候听到人说:让我们立志搞同性恋?这不是自我美化是什么?

我想不通为什么中文媒体也跟着他们这样说?即使不愿意在这个问题上“开罪”这个群体,至少也应保持最基本的中立,理由是:

一、同性恋权利是西方文化东扩的另一个标记。可是,西方的一切并不是都是好的,他们的经济一团糟,就是一个明证。

二、同性恋颠覆家庭观念。西方的家庭观念本来就不深,与东方背道而驰。世纪绝症爱滋病首先是在男同性恋群体中发现的。

三、同性恋群体并不能成为永续的社会,因这它是“绝后”的,必须依附以传统家庭为主流的社会。

四、这个群体既然选择这条路,就不应该“窃取”“结婚”这个名堂,虽然其中一个女人扮成男人。奇怪的是,男“娶”男时,其中一个却不扮成女人?这个群体应该自己找出另一个名堂,因为“结婚”是属于传统异性恋的。

五、既然选择“绝后”,就没有权利造出一个试管孩子来“续后”。这种做法对这个孩子公平吗?这种行为有什么值得歌颂之处?

选择权与认同权

同性恋在华人社会受到歧视吗?让事实来回答:

一、已故张国荣的影艺事业,并没有因为公开性取向而受到影响,传媒还是捧他为巨星。

二、白先勇备受尊敬,在中国也是如此。他有没有以“同性恋”自居?

三、要得到社会尊重,首先就得先尊重社会,不危害社会。最近在台湾发生的同性恋死者带爱滋病毒器官移植给五名病人的医疗事故,更凸显这个群体的风险。死者家属知道他是同性恋者,家人无奈地接受,他却隐瞒患爱滋病的事实,虽然他的第一个“男友”还是医生。

同性恋者固然有选择的权利,别人更有不认同的权利。生命必须生生不息,否则一切都变得没有意义。

同性戀沒有特殊地位

在大馬,同性戀婚禮是不被應許的。這是國家法律,沒甚麼好辯論。男男或女女的婚禮是不合法也不受承認。犯規者將會面對罰款及鞭刑。這個獨特的現象不只發生在大馬而已,幾乎世界上所有國家皆如此。

同性戀婚禮違反文化、道德以及宗教倫理。在回教裡,婚禮的定義是男人與女人合法的結合然後生活在一起、互相愛護、傳宗接代、組織家庭以及社會。在合法婚姻中夫妻二人須分別扮演角色以

及負起責任。

基督教也不允許信徒做出這樣的行為,除非是自由主義教派。前天主教教宗若望保祿二世和現任教宗本篤十六世也一樣反對同性戀婚禮。

因此,一名來自本地的基督教牧師與他男友即將在吉隆坡舉行婚禮的意圖不被同一個宗教以及其塔信徒接受。代表全國2千個教會的全國福音派基督徒聯盟譴 責該位牧師的行為。佛教與興都教也反對這段同性戀婚姻,原因是這個行為違背了宗教教義。政府與馬來西亞回教律師協會也同樣反對這個做法,而大馬宗教局也一 樣認為自由主義不符合回教教義。

大馬曾經有人舉行同性戀婚禮,就是名為鍾潔希的變性人與一名會計師於2003年在砂拉越所舉行的,那是唯一的一次。

他們婚禮主持人是3位來自3個獨立教會的牧師,然而在法律上是不被承認的。

在其他國家,如此婚禮是被視為“公民聯盟”或“承諾儀式”。雙方沒有正式法律約束。他們對財產、遺產或是同類型的問題上無需付出責任。

同性戀婚禮在羅馬帝國早期歷史的確有被記載。但是在公元342之後,士坦提烏斯二世和士坦提已執行法律禁止同性戀婚禮,犯規者必須面對死刑。中國,非洲以及希臘也是如此。根據回教法律,同性戀者將面對鞭笞100下以及被流放一年。而同性戀結婚者將被丟石致死。

明知道這是違反宗教教義和國家法律的行為,然而是甚麼原因導致那位本地牧師有這樣的意圖?

在人權和自由選擇的基礎上,同性戀者如今要求伸張正義,並希望他們的生活方式可以被社會接受。對我來說,他們要求的不只是人權。他們其實是要的是特殊地位,即是要求社會接受他們歪曲的生活方式,就算是違反宗教、人的本質以及國家法律甚至威脅他人的生命。

這已經非常過份了。憲法和國家法律賦予所有公民平等的權利。同性戀不能指望或要求特殊的權利或地位。85個國家將會對那些不尋常戀愛者採取行動,包括大馬。在這個數據當中,8個國家將判這些犯罪者死刑。

在新加坡、巴基斯坦、烏干達、印度、坦桑尼亞、塞拉利昂以及其他4個國家,同性戀者將被判終身監禁。要是那位牧師堅持他的意圖舉行同性戀婚禮,那麼 他可以這麼做然後繼續住在被允許的10個國家,即是阿根廷、比利時、加拿大、冰島、荷蘭、挪威、葡萄牙、南非、西班牙和瑞典。只要不是在馬來西亞。(星洲 日報/言路‧作者:瑪茜達‧首相署副部長)

莫在大马推动同性恋议程

一对同性恋情侣欧阳文风先生与菲尼亚斯先生选择趁大马国庆日8月31日在美国结婚,并过后在大马举行华人仪式婚礼。虽然基督教会不能阻止婚礼的举行,但它们仍然必须发出不表赞同的声音,以站稳支持圣经纯洁的信仰。

欧阳通过媒体呼吁同性恋者勇敢出柜表明性倾向,也呼吁异性恋者勇敢支持同性恋者的斗争。基督教会已经多次表明不歧视同性恋者,事实上今天不少教会都有同性恋者,但没听过有人因此被驱逐出教会。如果说教会要求同性恋者接受辅导而被视为逼迫他们的话,那就误解了教会的用心良苦。

教会正视欧阳高调地宣传同性恋议程,乃是基于他打着一个“牧师”身分的名堂。几年前欧阳在大马推动同性恋教会,受到教会的对抗,至今这项卫道的努力并没削减。几年前那次欧阳带着一个南美洲男伴回国,和这次跟另一个非洲裔男伴决定结婚的新闻见报后,两次牧师们都难于回答会友们的提问,包括:“牧师搞同性恋这样都可以吗?”

教会里头不是每个人都是熟读圣经的,同性恋者对于圣经有自己一套的诠释,这种似是而非的所谓“圣经支持同性恋”的教义乃足以混淆一些会友的。所以欧阳在大马大肆推动同性恋议程,教会绝不会袖手旁观的。

欧阳以“联合国在今年6月通过了议决案,赋予所有人同等权益,不以其性取向为考量”来抨击大马歧视同性恋。我认为西方以人权至上的姿态作其政策的考量,已造成了社会道德的沦落而不自知。譬如父母不可鞭打儿女(即使还年幼也不可),否则就是算为暴力,难怪孩子叛逆个案飙升。

合法化不等同合乎道德,不同的国家有风月场所,赌场,雏妓等领域合法化,难道它们就等同合乎道德吗?我知道在加拿大吸毒是没犯罪的,被逮捕的吸毒者被安顿在一个地方,政府免费提供毒品任由他们去吸,那这是什么样的尊敬人权?

在大马,以宗教为反对同性恋行为的只有天主教,基督教和回教。而佛教,从8月19日佛教论坛得知,此宗教不反对它,而是尊重人的自由选择。前三者以及犹太教跟佛教有别,乃在于前者是出于同一个祖宗亚伯拉罕。它们有相同的旧约圣经,都是相信“上帝创造论”,并且新旧约圣经都明文指同性恋是罪。而佛教没有“创造论”,也没有经典抨击同性恋,可以理喻。同性恋行为是亚当和夏娃堕落的后遗症,上帝只创造一男一女,并在生理上给他们能力生养众多。堕落后的后裔带着这个原罪执意违反上帝的旨意,包括同性恋,自有人类以来就记载在圣经上。

人类长久以来的繁殖,乃是靠男女的婚姻制度延续至今。婚姻是上帝为人类设立最神圣的制度,夫妻彼此贞忠。而同性恋者的后裔必须通过第三者拥有孩子,这岂不是另类的婚外情?澳洲一个男子曾捐精子给一对女同性恋者而诞生了一个孩子,最近他通过法庭争取自己为合法生理父亲的地位,结果法官判他输。可见同性恋带给社会有颠倒秩序的祸害。

美国在开创国家时是秉持基督教信仰很严谨的国家,但种种迹象看到它已经离经背道了。它允许俗世主义驾御于圣经主义之上。希望欧阳不要把世俗主义强加于大马社会里,结果衍生不可预知的社会伦理问题。国庆日是个神圣日子,不可糟蹋它。

歐陽文風苦樂自尋求

41歲的同性戀牧師歐陽文風與47歲的美籍非裔情人音樂劇製作人菲尼亞斯締結同性婚姻,使兩年的情侶關係進入新的篇章。如果從傳統的異性婚姻界定名份,育有14歲女兒的菲尼亞斯理應以其雄風紀錄被視為“丈夫”,歐陽文風則是“妻子”。

不久前,有兩位女同性戀者也大擺宴席辦婚禮款待親友的祝福。其中一人就有接近丈夫外表的打扮,可見得,無論是男與男、女與女同性戀,最終還是

跳脫不了以異性特徵的分野。因此,同性戀婚姻中的乾坤之別,在觀念上還是離不開陰陽之辨。

歐陽文風可說是強勢的“妻子”,多年來毫不避諱公開倡導同性戀,其言其行,毀譽參半。他落實這樁婚姻,給力的是美國紐約州參議院今年6月24日通過 法案,讓同性戀者可以合法註冊婚姻。兩天後,他接受求婚並籌劃註冊。歐陽文風趁勝追擊班師大馬,將在吉隆坡與美籍非裔情人舉行另類的轟轟烈烈華人婚禮。

歐陽文風的同性戀性取向廣受爭議,他的牧師及評論人地位的能言善道強項使他成為焦點。簡單的說,歐陽掌握媒體的力量表述他的性取向,並以坦然以對宣 示他驚世駭俗的婚姻理念。而在同性戀中,他的率性表述非但不會造成恥辱,反而令人對他的我行我素,勇於追求本身的幸福得到衷心祝福。但是,刻意標榜性取向 就自然有輿論的反彈,看來,歐陽有“雖千萬人吾欲往之”的氣勢,使他的同性戀色彩格外顯眼。

其實,當今世界,除了政客、影視歌星和其他公眾人物的同性戀傾向成為新聞之外,數以千萬計的同性戀都默默耕耘,其結局是悲是喜,正如老歌“月兒彎彎 照九州”的那一段經典歌詞:“翻天的風浪使人愁,要穿要吃哪顧得險呀,可憐夜夜淚雙流,月兒彎彎照九州,人生的苦樂自尋求……”。

其實,不管同性或異性婚姻,這種被捧為終身大事的“投資”雖經過激情、嚮往、理想、甜蜜、誓盟的揉合要長相廝守,常經不起現實生活和時間的考驗。所以,每一樁婚姻都受到親友的叮囑和祝福。上帝即使為他們禱告也不能擔保天長地久。每個人都得對本身的抉擇自求多福。

作者:林放

歐陽的婚訊似乎沒有受到太多的祝福,一些牧師與基督教青年組織強調同性戀違反聖經教義,譴責歐陽文風過度宣揚同性戀結婚的事難以被接受。官方也指我 國的國情若不加過濾同性戀婚姻,將使傳統價值觀和道德亂了套。因此,歐陽舉辦華人傳統婚宴,純粹是一種儀式而沒有法律基礎的認證。那些衛道之士即使嘶喊, 也只能是,吹皺一池春水,干卿底事?

歐陽文風大可不必“挾持”捍衛世界人權宣言的原則,為本身的同性戀婚姻訴求塗脂抹彩,畢竟,再先進再文明的紐約也只在最近通過同性戀婚姻法案,若要大馬急起跟隨,就得等下一世投胎再議,恐怕來世時,他倒贊成異性戀了。(星洲日報/言路‧作者:林放‧資深報人)

Homosexuality, the church and Malaysia

Ou Yang's letter is after this at below.

August 23, 2011

FMT LETTER

From Loh Seong Wei, via e-mail

Mr Ou Yang Wen Feng, in his letter to Malaysiakini dated Aug 18, 2011, pleads for homosexuals to be treated with respect and dignity. As Christians who by faith seek to live out the will of Jesus in loving our neighbours, we do not discriminate between heterosexuals and homosexuals.

However, what Mr Ou Yang desires for is more than respect and dignity for homosexuals. The church is being asked to accept and by extension celebrate homosexuality, which is condemned in the clearest terms possible in scripture, as natural.

The Scripture not only condemns homosexual acts as unnatural (i.e. contrary to the “order of human nature”), but homosexuality itself. For “thought” precedes “action”, and Romans 1 castigates homosexuals who exchanged natural affection for unnatural one.

Since Christians in Malaysia have normally understood St Paul the Apostle to be speaking under divine revelation rather than talking from experience, we cannot in good conscience recognise homosexuality in the “theological context.”

The unnatural state of being is grounded in how the homosexual perceives his self-identity. Self-identity is “who I am/ who you are” and thus goes to the very definition of a “person.” This makes a person unique, unrepeatable and ultimately mysterious and at the same time (simultaneously) sharing a common nature with the rest of human beings.

Whilst nature in its psychological and physical – psychosomatic – functions can be sensually or consciously experienced, the person (i.e. the “I”) is the “subject of faith.” In other words, it is something taken for granted as a fundamental fact of life.

One may question whether UFOs exist or not but our very own existence (the I/Ego) is a given (literally by God and not generated from within the person since person = “I”; and if person is created by God, then the “I” only exists – as a gift – from God).

Even the notion that life is an illusion acknowledges the existence of an “I.” Homosexuality is not reducible to (i.e. exclusively understood in terms of) the mind and the body. As part of human self-understanding and identity, homosexuality is central to who a person is.

After all, despite the biological anomaly in homosexuality (at least compared to heterosexuality where sexual expression of love and pro-creation go naturally hand in hand), homosexuals nevertheless insist on their sexual identity.

Furthermore, science has yet to probe the depths of human existence in all its complexity and mystery. The Book of Genesis offers simple clues as to whether homosexuality is natural or not.

The Fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden caused by their lack of faith in the Creator resulted in “Original Sin” so that the entire person (epitomised by the I/ Ego) is no longer at peace ‘and’ harmony with God and creation (nature).

Wars, greed, poverty, environmental degradation, etc. are the concrete symptoms that is part of our world. Homosexuality proceeds from Original Sin where ‘prior’ to the Fall, the “immutable” basis for human life was determined by the Creator, namely heterosexuality – man and woman.

So that, sexuality always imply two distinct (but inseparable) sexes/ genders. Jesus Himself reaffirmed the original creation order in Matthew 19 where a man shall cleave to his wife and become one flesh. Marital union from the religious viewpoint is always and only heterosexual.

Unless of course Mr Ou Yang denies a literal account of the six-day creation. Still Mr Ou Yang should now know that the unconditional love of God who died on the Cross and proclaimed in the Gospel restores man and woman to their original state of being prior to the Fall.

The whole person is re-created by the Creator who is at once Saviour. So profound is the change that it can only be perceived by faith (in God). As it is, Mr Ou Yang and his fellow homosexuals want to place “nature” as constituting their identity rather than the “person.”

By doing so, we are merely confirming our Original Sin since human beings are by ‘nature’ sinners. That is, the sinful nature determines the identity and acts of the person. In the Gospel, the situation is reversed whereby the person is now free from sinful nature, and the person is free to give meaning to his new nature and to live according to his or her identity given freely by the Creator.

In the “political context”, the church in Malaysia cannot also agree or support the legalisation of homosexuality and the concomitance of same-sex marriages (civil or religious). Just as Mr Ou Yang is bound to his conscience, likewise the church is bound to its conscience.

Mr Ou Yang has no right to “force” the church and state in Malaysia to emulate the example of the State of New York and others. What the church can do and will do is to urge the government of the day in Malaysia not to persecute homosexuals. But it is the moral and legal responsibility of the church and state to ensure that homosexuals in Malaysia are subject to prosecution where necessary.

So, I ask Mr Ou Yang to understand that whilst homosexuals in Malaysia are equal under the law with equal political rights, they cannot expect to practice and advocate their lifestyle normally and openly as in the West. Secularism does not hold the same meaning in Malaysia as in the West.

Secularism in Malaysia does not mean separation of religion and state or a “liberal” interpretation of religion. On the contrary, both religious and secular values and principles exist side-by-side in harmony, and where applicable one takes precedent over the other. So, please do not try to impose Western secularism on Malaysia with your homosexual agenda.

Homosexuals too have a right to love
Rev Ou Yang Wen Feng
Aug 18, 11
7:04pm

In June 2011, the United Nations Human Rights Council has passed a resolution on human rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity, thus, it is heartbreaking to hear some politicians in my beloved country call my love unethical or immoral simply because of the gender identity of my lover.

Many people in Malaysia, some of them are my friends, some are total strangers, gay and straight alike, have sent me blessings and congratulated me when they learn that I will be marrying my lover. I am deeply touched and moved by their gestures. My country, however, fails to uphold the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is therefore particularly disappointing.

For too long, gay people have suffered from discrimination not because of what we do but simply because of who we are. Our constitutional right as a human being, taxpayer, and citizen to be treated equally has been denied.

Due to ignorance and prejudice, many gay people have to pretend to be someone whom they are not. Many have to hide themselves in the closet of heterosexual marriages, and it hurts their heterosexual spouses deeply. Thus, what I am doing in Malaysia, is not only for gay people, but to send a strong message to heterosexuals that you all deserve to be loved passionately by heterosexuals, and no one should cheat on your love for the sake of survival.

Thus, I urge all reasonable and open-minded straight people to come out and speak up in order to break the conspiracy of silence, because silence kills. By keeping quiet, many good people have inevitably and unfortunately given their tacit consent to the oppressive culture that promotes homophobia and perpetuate ignorance.

When straight people who have known better about homosexuality refuse to speak up for gay people, they are guilty of the injustice done to gay people and also to themselves indirectly. It is therefore critical for everyone, especially heterosexuals, to come out and speak up in favour of homosexuals in order to challenge homophobic or social discourse and practice.

As a Christian, I believe in love and I live in hope, I strongly believe that everyone should be treated with respect and dignity. If we all are willing to work together, I have no doubt that soon and very soon, love and fairness shall win.
