Who
says I must respect Tan Sri Murphy Pakiam just because he was anointed
Archbishop? Najib too was anointed by UMNO to be Prime Minister but he
has not earned my respect. Yesterday the sycophant rag, the STAR,
front-paged “UNITY PLANS FOR GAZA”! An apt headline would be “UNITE
TATTERED 1MALAYSIA”! This is one “shepherd” who strayed from his
priority, to allow Mahathir’s proxy Ibrahim Ali to besmirch his
motto/slogan: 1 Malaysia.
The Sun also front-paged Najib’s who pledged solidarity with the Palestinians and backed reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah.
In the name of Allah, even the OIC cannot bring these two fractious
muslim groups together, fat chance the scandal-strapped PM of a
corrupted country can bridge this gulf between the factions HERE. There is in town a homegrown NGO that goes by the name of COMPLETE,
admittedly striving to champion the Palestinians. Even this group has
two factions, one siding Fatah, the other Hamas as a fund raising event
recently proved. Perhaps, Najib could do well to
unite COMPLETE before venturing into Gaza.
Now,
back to Murphy Pakiam. If my uncle, Datuk Tan Cheng Or, was not
bedridden he would give two tight slaps to his former student Murphy
Pakiam! In 2007, The Herald and Pakiam, as its publisher, filed for a
judicial review after it was ordered to stop using the Arabic word
"Allah" in its publication by the Malaysian Ministry of Home Affairs. On
the last day of 2009, HE was not in court when the High Court Judge
allowed for the use of Allah in the Bahasa version of the Bible. The
government appealed against judgement and Murphy dutifully followed
Najib to the Vatican!
Within
two months of Pakatan taking Selangor, the parish priest of St Paul the
Hermit was granted permission from the Selangor Government to build a
new church. The priest of this poor parish approached the Tan Sri
Archbishop for funds to initiate proceedings. The Bishop told the priest
to get his parishioners to raise funds. The parishioners are by
majority, poor estate workers. And the Right Honorable Pakiam’s motto
is: Mercy and Peace.
A
group of Catholic doctors on their own time collected medicine and made
nocturnal visits to Mynmarese immigrants hiding in the jungle. The Tan
Sri heard about this and stopped the doctors from their “clandestine”
trips to give aid to the disadvantaged. Mercy?
And
now Ibrahim Ali wants to burn the Alkitab and our SHEPHERD continues to
pray(????) for guidance amidst an embarrassing silence? Thank God a national group
representing the evangelical Christian community has stepped up to the
plate to tell Najib to practice what he preaches! Tan Sri Murphy
continues to twiddle his thumbs! Impeachment is a secular penalty. Is
there an ecclesiastical equivalent or should the shepherd go to pasture
to bring back some dignity to the office!
