Our Questions- Does It Acceptable?

"The latest incident about BFM newsreader being threatened with death, rape and being burnt alive by those I assume to be Malay-Muslim netizens bring forth serious questions for this country. Is this country safe for our children to live in? If a simple point is raised against such issue such as Hudud or even such issue as democracy and clean elections can produce outburst of murder, rape and burning people alive, what does it say about our country, its citizens and our leadership?"... Prof Dr. Mohamad Tajuddin Mohammad Rasdi.

How do you view?

Aishah Tajuddin, a journalist from BFM has made a controversional video that showed her questioning if Hudud helps to fix the Economy matters in Kelantan as they still faced economical problems and social issues such as drugs addiction. Moreover, she also stated that people nowadays love to use the name of religion to distract people from important issues like economy and governance that scarily produce outburst of immoral actions. As the result, she has received a lot of threat from social media users with Malay names, who accused her of insulting Islam.

When I'm make my further reading in themalaymailonline.com, I totally understand what is actually happened with this issue. The author also stated that facebook page Kelantan Story & Jj Stall Story posted the same video and said in its post: “More insults against Kelantan and Islam throughout the world. What should we do with this sort of person?”

“Burn her alive,” wrote a Facebook user called Hairul Azzua.

Facebook user called Inche Oleh wrote: “Wait till I rape you, woman.”

Another Facebook user, named Hajjee Azz Abdul, called Aisyah a “stupid *****”.

A YouTube user called Khairul Azri commented on the video-sharing site: “If I see you in front of me, I’ll shoot you in the head."

These comments shows that people are madly angry of Aishah's statement in her video. People’s madness over the new is not a totally wrong because bringing up such issues of might touch on some religion's sensitivity. However, what Aishah has asked in the video has nothing wrong too. The questions she questioned in the video is valid and might give answers to our society who justyfying the same issue too. Does hudud really help economy? Does hudud help to fix the social issues like drug and rape cases? Someone authorities should come with the right answer, not let go of people to make her question a funny jokes.

The things that people should consider are, if not Aishah who brought up such issue, will anyone ever do? Everyone has their right to let out their views on certain issue but they also must know our country sensitivities. Don't just be a keyboard warrior, come and voice up your opinion if you think it will opened people's eye widely. I deeply hope everyone will open their mind and try to accept opinions or criticism about crucial issues like this. Learn to be more understanding before we judge ;)

WOMEN SHOULDN'T BE BEHIND THE WHEEL- |STEREOTYPE IN SOCIETY|

"Stereotyping is exaggerated generalizations associated with a categorizing system, they go beyond the facts at hand and make claims that usually have no valid basis. However, it is also something that most people find difficult to avoid from doing. So, let's explore your sense of tendency to make generalizations by expanding the following statement: Women shouldn't be behind the wheel.."

Did you ever hear you mom or dad talking that “This might be a female’s driver” when they are driving behind a slow car? Yes, this stereotype in our society is not a new thing to hear about, yet women drives a vehicle in the road always bring up a serious issue to the worldwide.

The problem tends to become simpler if you ask for a men's point of view. They will say that women’s driver are slow, hesitant, unpredictable, lack space orientation, don't park well and so on. Even though me myself a woman, I have to agree with all of the reason because sometimes while I'm driving I can see that many women are not focusing very well or even not alert to other road users.

    

However, women are less at fault in car accidents than men and this is because it is generally believed that women tend to drive more carefully and at lower speeds than the opposite sex. Women are hesitant and unpredictable, that fit in this category are either beginners in driving or if they don't know the route. No matter how difficult the situation is, they should learn and master it because if men can, why can't they?

What we should keep in mind before judging a female driver is that no matter how hesitant, slow and unpredictable, one should be aware that driving, first of all is about having a high responsibility.

Lots of love,
