Discriminatory and Prejudice

In today’s (Sept 4, 2010) news report, it was quoted that the Kedah Department of Health will not recommend for service excellence for its staff if they are smokers, which I guess is the prerogative of the department concern which however is smack of discriminatory and prejudice against smokers for whatever reasons provided.

Whilst, in embarking on this, I hazard a guess that it is ok to be addicted to other substances and alcohol for one to be recommended for the service excellence award. One the other hand, what about those who play corporate politics, ass-kissers, backstabbers and practicing cronyism and nepotism?

I believe that whatever it is, service excellence has got nothing to do with you being a smoker or not! Period!

Stupid tis those who has no faith

I read this with mixed feeling... Dalam pertikaian Siew Fook dengan pendakwah Islam Dr. Mohd. Ridhuan berkaitan soal anak luar nikah, beliau menulis dalam blognya http:sjsandteam.wordpress.com: "Has everything be reduced to your fucking religion."

The statement, in bold above, can only be written or uttered by someone who has no faith to any religion. As a Muslim, everything that we do has got to do with the Allah and the religion. Thus I believe anyone who is alligned to any religion be it a Christian, Buddhist or a Hindu or even a Jew would alway go back to their religions.

It is not for me to judge but it won't be uttered by someone who faithfully believe in any religion or for that matter any understanding of any faith, or principled, who has grounding.

The most dangerous of a person as it can be, one without any principle in the core.

Because if he does, then he would understand why Ridhuan Tee said what he had said.

Siew Fook, maybe you can put it in some other ways that cares for the sensitivities of others.
