Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Bernard Dompok urged the Home Affairs Ministry to let the court decide instead of continuing to "harass" the Catholic weekly, Herald, for using the word "Allah" in its latest publication.Stating that it was an unnecessary controversy, he said the Home Affairs Ministry should just let the matter rest because it is pending hearing in court.He was speaking to reporters after officiating at the presentation of the UPSR 2008 excellence awards, uniform assistance and Year Six "Aku Janji" pledge at SK St Theresa, Inobong here Friday."Lately, the Ministry of Home Affairs has been harassing the Herald to such an extent that they have to go to court and (now) waiting for hearing," he said, adding that based on comments, including by lawyers, on the issue, the Herald should be allowed to publish as they have done before, pending the outcome of the case."It is not for the Ministry of Home Affairs to pre-empt the decision of the court," said Dompok who is also the President of the United Pasok Momogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (Upko).He was responding to the reports quoting Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar warning the Herald that "the show of defiance could cause conflict and anger among other races in the country".Syed Hamid also said that "if anything happens, then don't put the blame on us" and that he would refer the matter to the Ministry's legal unit."There's no reason for the Home Affairs Ministry to kelam kabut (get all excited) to look at this. I think they are using very strong language (against the Herald)," said Dompok.He added that the Herald, is just a small organisation having a circulation of about 14,000 a week out of the Christian population of about two million and slightly more than a million Catholics in the country."It is only being sold in churches so I don't see how it can confuse the people," he said, adding that it had also complied with the requirement of the Ministry to stamp the word "Terhad" (limited) on every edition.Dompok said the matter would have come up during the premiership of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad "but I think wisdom prevailed".He said the usage of the word "Allah" should be viewed from the historical perspective since the terminology had come about when Bahasa Melayu was used by the people even before Malaysia (existed).He said it was the language used by the people of the Borneo territories (as the) Malay tacit lingua franca, even though English was used in most schools but there were also some schools that were conducted in Malay at that time."So religion developed along the line of communications and in this particular village (Kampung Inobong), for instance, I didn't have occasion to use the terminology because sermons and proceedings in church are conducted in Kadazan and "Allah" in Kadazan is "Kinoingan"."When I went to school in KK La Salle, when I go to church it was in English so 'God' is God," he said.However, Dompok said in rural areas when the predominance of Bahasa Malaysia came about, the usage of "Allah" became more pronounced, especially after the importation of Bibles written in the Indonesian language, which refers to God as "Allah".He said the terminology is widely used in Indonesia and also in Arab countries by Christians."So it is a universal terminology used in the Christian world when they are praying in their vernacular language. There is no reason for the Home Ministry to continue harassing the Catholic Herald," he said.Based on reports, Dompok said it was "as though the Herald was trampling on the toes of everybody while in fact I feel the Ministry of Home Affairs is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut in full force to silence the Herald"."We are living in a country that practices democracy, freedom of religion and that the first principle of the Rukun Negara is Belief in God. People want to belief in God so I think they should be allowed to so," he said.Dompok also could not believe that people were even suggesting disallowing worship by other religions in Malay."I said how can that be? Bahasa Malaysia does not belong to the Malays alone, this is the language of all Malaysians, your and my language."So I feel if there is indeed objection to that then perhaps it's time for us to look for a new national language so that there would not be "confusion" among Malaysians," he said.To a question, Dompok said he had spoken to the Home Minister and brought up the issue in the Cabinet."In fact it was the day after the (Federal) Cabinet meeting that they gave back the Herald the license to publish in Malay," he said.

What happened to us human? is money that important to us till we don't even care about the environment? (which is the actual place where we scavenge for the thing called "MONEY").

the government kept on agreeing that Malaysia is to a country of greenery and diversity. but look what had happened... in Kalimantan, neighboring Sabah and Sarawak, nature is being burnt to dust and replaced by man-wealth plants(PALM OIL). if we look closely, and i mean LOOK at Sabah's logo we will see the one and only trademark of us hat is the "ORANG UTAN". yet, we kept on pushing them off their own grounds.

the creatures are living and working (in their own way)there not for money, but for LIFE, their lives and their future generations. looking at this, we are not that different from them. only worse! why do i say this? lets see.... do the orang utan kill each other for anything? no. we human? YEAP! and to make things worse, we kill for MONEY and a seat in a room! what is this?

lets think and if you have anything you want to say, please... be my guest.

Tuaran: The setting up of the first SJK Kadazandusun in Sabah is meant to raise the level of proficiency of children from the community in their mother tongue.

Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Joseph Pairin Kitingan said the Kadazandusun community generally felt that the language would be lost if it is not conserved now.

He said such phenomenon was due to certain factors that had inevitably caused fewer people to practise speaking the language.

"We have dreamt for so long of a channel to pass on our language, tradition and cultural identity to the next generation by setting up an education institution that could assist in realising our objectives," he said.

Officiating at the groundbreaking ceremony for SJK Kadazandusun at Kampung Tiong Monggis in Tenghilan, about 55km from here, Monday, Pairin said the setting up of the school would ensure that the language would be preserved and practised by the younger generation.

He hoped there would come a time where the children would have better places to learn the language.

According to him, the effort to conserve the Kadazandusun language began about 20 years ago through seminars, workshops and competitions, including studies that involved activists, NGOs and even the State and Federal governments.

However, Pairin, who is also Huguan Siou (paramount leader) of the Kadazandusun community, said the effort is not enough to uplift the Kadazandusun image.

He said more effort should be carried out to produce references, guidelines on writing and speaking.

The school was through the effort of Korea Food for the Hungry International Fund under the United Nations programme.

On other developments, South Korea NGO representative Simon Lee said there are about 470 members of the NGO in Sabah carrying out community projects in several districts such as Kota Belud, Keningau, Kudat and Nabawan.

The school cost US$150,000 to construct and completed in four months over a 10-acre site.

Also present were Youth and Sports Assistant Minister Jahid Jahim, Kiulu Assemblyman Datuk Louis Rampas, Moyog Assemblyman Philip Lasimbang and Tamparuli ADO, Edip Abun.

INFINATEZ - SAYANG KINABALU ACAPELLA

Lady: Why do u like me? Why do u love me?

Man : I can't tell the reason... But I really like u...

Lady: U can't even tell me the reason... How can u say u like me? How can u say u love me?

Man : I really don't know the reason, but I can prove that I love u.

Lady: Proof ? No! I want u to tell me the reason. My friend's boyfriend can tell her why he loves her, but not u!

Man : OK...OK !!! Erm...because u are beautiful, because your voice is sweet, because u are caring, because u are loving, because u are thoughtful, because of your smile, because of your every movements...



Unfortunately, a few days later, the Lady met with an accident and became
comma. The Guy then placed a letter by her side, and here is the content:

Dearest,
Because of your sweet voice that I love u...Now can u talk? No! Therefore I cannot love u.
Because of your care and concern then I like u... Now that u cannot show them, therefore I cannot love u.
Because of your smile, because of your every movements that I love u...
Now can u smile? Now can u move? No, therefore I cannot love u...
If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love u anymore. Do loves need a reason?
NO! Therefore, I still love u... And love doesn't need a reason...
