PITAS: Christian leaders say that the Sabah religious authorities have been asked to “annul without further delay” the conversions of a group of Orang Asal who were tricked into converting to Islam in this state.
“No action has been taken on the matter,” said the president of the Protestant Church of Sabah, Reverend Jensey Mojuin, in his speech at the Mamangkis ceremony of the Indigenous People in Pitas August 14.
Pitas, one of the “dog ears” in the map of Sabah, is reportedly the poorest province in the Federation.
“Three months have passed since the “shameful” conversion of 64 people, including children, from three villages – Kampung Maliau Layung, Dowokon and Sosop.
“Although a police report has been made, no concrete action has been taken,” said Mojuin.
He said the lack of action only means that “extremist groups” that did the conversion “enjoy the support and protection of some powerful people.”
He added that the group was reportedly an Islamic NGO (non-governmental organisation) based in Selangor well known for its religious extremism.
Mojuin described the mass conversions in Pitas, as a fraudulent and unfair act that threatens the peace and religious harmony in Sabah that has existed for so long. The majority of those converted belonged to his congregation.
33 villagers who “converted” claim that they had been tricked into converting by this group.
They were asked to present themselves at the Pitas mosque on New Year’s Day, supposedly to receive financial aid.
Evidence that they agreed to become Muslims
They claim that they were promised RM800 per person, but there was only RM100 in the envelopes they were given after they signed several documents.
They said that they were illiterate, and that no one explained to them the purpose of the forms.
Mojuin added, that these forms are now being used as evidence that they have agreed to become Muslims.
Mamangkis, which is the war cry of the indigenous people, has now become the clarion call for the revival of the Christian religion and religious liberty.
PITAS: Pihak berkuasa agama Sabah telah diminta untuk “membatalkan tanpa melengahkan lagi” penukaran agama Orang Asal kepada Islam yang berlaku di negeri ini yang dilakukan dengan tipu helah kata ketua-ketua agama Kristian. “Tiada tindakan diambil ke atas perkara itu,” kata Presiden Gereja Protestan Sabah, Reverend Jensey Mojuin, semasa berucap di majlis mamangkis Orang Asal di Pitas semalam. Pitas, salah satu daripada “telinga anjing” pada peta Sabah, dilaporkan sebagai daerah yang paling miskin di negeri itu. “Tiga bulan telah berlalu sejak penukaran agama yang ‘memalukan’ ke atas kira-kira 64 orang, termasuk kanak-kanak, dari tiga buah kampung – iaitu Kampung Layung Maliau, Dowokon dan Sosop. “Walaupun laporan polis telah dibuat, tiada tindakan konkrit telah diambil,” kata Mojuin. Beliau berkata ketiadaan tindakan hanya bermakna bahawa “kumpulan pelampau” yang melakukan penukaran agama itu “menikmati sokongan dan perlindungan sesetengah ‘orang yang kuat’. Dia berkata kumpulan itu dilaporkan adalah sebuah pertubuhan bukan kerajaan Islam yang berpangkalan di Selangor yang terkenal dengan pandangan pelampau agamanya. Mojuin berkata penukaran besar-besaran di Pitas, majoriti daripada mereka pengikut gereja beliau, adalah tidak adil dan satu penipuan yang mengancam keamanan dan keharmonian agama yang dinikmati sejak sekian lama di Sabah. Tiga puluh tiga penduduk kampung yang “ditukar” agama mendakwa bahawa pada Hari Tahun Baru, mereka telah tertipu untuk menukar agama oleh kumpulan itu. Mereka diminta untuk hadir di masjid bandar Pitas untuk kononnya menerima bantuan kewangan. Bukti bahawa mereka telah bersetuju untuk menjadi orang Islam Mereka mendakwa bahawa mereka telah dijanjikan RM 800 seorang tetapi dalam sampul surat yang diberikan selepas menandatangani beberapa dokumen terdapat hanya RM100. Mereka berkata bahawa mereka buta huruf dan tidak ada orang yang menjelaskan kepada mereka apa maksud borang tersebut. Mojuin menambah bahawa borang ini kini digunakan sebagai bukti bahawa mereka telah bersetuju untuk menjadi orang Islam. ” Mamangkis, adalah seruan perang Orang Asal yang kini telah diterima sebagai satu seruan Kristian untuk kebangkitan agama dan kebebasan beragama. www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/bahasa/2014/08/15/gereja-menuntut-aktiviti-penukaran-agama-dihentikan/
Jillian Lauren claims she was the mistress
of Prince Jefri, brother of the Sultan
of Brunei - Facebook
An American Jewish woman has claimed she was hired to be the mistress of Prince Jefri Bolkiah, the playboy brother of the Sultan of Brunei.
Her revelation came just days after Brunei implemented sharia law, which allows residents to be stoned to death for "transgressions" such as homosexuality and adultery.
Before turning 17, Lauren had dropped out of school to become a stripper. During her career, she was offered $20,000 (£11,785) to perform for a Singaporean businessman.
She soon understood that the man she had to entertain was not a Singaporean, but the Brunei prince.
"[The job] was an invitation to be the personal guest of the notorious playboy prince Jefri Bolkiah, the youngest brother of the Sultan of Brunei," Lauren told the Daily Beast.
"The prince threw lavish parties every night. At these parties there was drinking (which was not legal in public), dancing, some fairly hilarious karaoke, and, most important, women—about 30 or 40 beauties from all over the world, comprising a harem of sorts.
"I spent the next year and some change as his girlfriend."
Under sharia, sexual intercourse is only allowed between husband and wife. Any form of sex outside wedlock is considered a crime and punishable by death.
Lauren, who has returned to her hometown, suggested that the prince and sultan might not be willing to observe the laws they have implemented.
"It is the privilege of the prince and the sultan to misbehave," she said. "As the citizens of Brunei face the erosion of their rights, I imagine the man I once knew, holed up in a posh hotel suite somewhere, maybe with another American teenager in his lap, making laws that legislate morality."
The introduction of sharia law in Brunei has sparked international outrage.
Many NGOs have repeatedly urged the sultan to withdraw the new rigid penal code, seen as a limitation of freedom and basic human rights.

On May 1, the Sultanate of Brunei introduced the first of three phases in its adoption of a penal code based on Islamic law, or Sharia. The move brought with it a flurry of international outcry, condemnation and moral indignation in the United States. The outrage over the adoption of a Sharia-based penal code, however, has outweighed any actual understanding of not only Sharia, but also of the Sultan of Brunei's calculated political move.
Condemnations have focused, in particular, on the application of the death penalty by stoning for offences such as blasphemy and illicit sex acts such as sodomy, rape and extra-marital sex; whipping and amputations for "less serious crimes". According to the United Nations, Brunei's adoption of the penal code violates international law as "stoning people to death constitutes torture or other cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment and is thus clearly prohibited". Amnesty International also warned that the move threatened to send the country back to the "dark ages".
Selective outrage
In keeping with a tradition of selective and uninformed outrage, US media outlets, celebrities and some lawmakers have been at the forefront of public condemnation of Brunei's new penal code.
Hollywood, too, was unable to resist expressing outrage as it rushed to boycott the Beverly Hills Hotel, owned by the Sultan's Brunei Investment Agency. The boycott, which cost the agency over $1.5m in cancelled bookings, has been led by the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBTQ advocacy organisation in the US.
Framing Brunei's new Sharia system in terms of "anti-gay" and "anti-women" legislation, as it has been in US coverage and protests, obscures the actual motivations behind the Sultanate's decision and nourishes the tired trope of "those crazy Muslims", an angle which the US media has an all-too comfortable relationship with.
Critical engagement with this story has been near non-existent, save an attempt in a PolicyMic article by Scott Long in which he questions the motives of US protests against the Sultanate's adoption of Sharia: "Why are gay bloggers, Tweeters and groups like Human Rights Campaign hyping this as an 'anti-gay' law? Obviously, because they haven't talked to anybody in Brunei … [and] consulted feminist groups in South and Southeast Asia who could clue them in on the impact of these laws … They're interested in publicity and the satisfaction of speaking their minds."
The domestic context within the US is central to how this story has been covered. There is an increasing popular and political support for same-sex marriage and LGBTQ rights in the country, with 30 states currently embroiled in legal debates over the status of same-sex marriage. During the past year and a half, there have also been a number of anti-Sharia bills introduced and passed in several states, with the most recent bill being passed in the Florida state senate on April 28.
Thus, Sharia is scary; LGBTQ rights are trendy. Scary Islam stories that tap into current and ever-present ideological moods and sensitivities generate visceral reactions that in turn bring in clicks and traffic.
Brunei's economic downturn
In the midst of the noise from all this outcry, US media outlets have hardly troubled themselves with asking why the playboy sultan is suddenly interested in bringing in a penal code that should (at least in theory) indict him before anyone else. It is interesting to note that the release of the latest economic performance figures for his country coincided with Sultan Bolkiah's original announcement of bringing in Sharia.
The 2013-2014 Global Competitiveness Report from the World Economic Forum revealed that for the first time in its recent history, the most problematic factor for doing business in Brunei is now access to financing.
According to a report released in February by The Brunei Times, crude oil exports, fell 34 percent in one year. This had an immense effect on total exports, which decreased by 11.8 percent.
More striking drops came from miscellaneous manufactured articles and chemical exports, which fell by a whopping 53.8 and 98.3 percent, respectively. In contrast, chemical imports increased by 18.8 percent, transport rose 31.5 percent, and imports of manufactured articles went up by 39.2 percent. Brunei's total trade between 2012 and 2013 has declined by 8.4 percent. In a single year, Brunei went through quite a dramatic economic downturn.
Although officials insist that Brunei's economic decline is only short-term in nature, the population has felt its effect. Concern for increased crime has prompted some to welcome the implementation of the Sharia penal code. Of course, neither the economic decline nor the crimes punishable by the newly introduced penal code have an effect on the royals, who live an extremely lavish lifestyle that includes the keeping of mistresses.
Sharia as a means of control?
In giving an overall evaluation of what the Sharia is about, the 14th century scholar Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya stated that: "The essence and basis of Sharia is wisdom and benefits for people in this world and the next. It is all justice, all mercy, all benefits, and all wisdom. Every application that goes from justice to oppression, from mercy to its opposite, from benefit to harm, and from wisdom to frivolity then it is not from Sharia - even if [someone] tries to interpret it as such."
If we consider the motives of the sultan for introducing Sharia in Brunei, in light of what Ibn Qayyim says what Sharia is about, we can safely conclude that the sultan is joining the ranks of governments in the Muslim world who manipulate Islam to suit their own political purposes.
In an earlier address answering the negative reactions to the introduction of what he calls Sharia's legal code, the sultan commented on what he feels are "abuses" of mass communication media, including Internet blogs and WhatsApp. There seems to be a strong sense of concern for political unrest triggered by "certain parties" who may be "provoking the people" and "wish to see internal strife or to instigate conflict and do not respect their leader or government".
In contrast to what has been communicated through US media about the sultan introducing Sharia to target homosexuals or apply extreme punishments for crimes, he actually stated that his motives are political in nature: "[The critics] can no longer be given the liberty to continue with their mockery, and if there is a basis for them to be brought to court, the first phase of the [Sharia] (criminal) law this coming April will be relevant to them."
Any further talk of religion is superfluous at this point. Focusing the discussion on Brunei's move to adopt Sharia penal code, which more importantly relies on mischaracterisations of Sharia, is dishonest framing. It encourages knee-jerk reactionary protests that pick and choose their causes for alarm. Both the sultan and US media are exploiting Sharia for their own purposes. Meanwhile, the people of Brunei who are in the middle and ignored, will face the real possibility of the oncoming oppression.

Nowadays, news portal and internet has grown wider and has gone so viral. Especially regarding politics. Sometimes it can be very confusing for those who did not keeping up-to-date with the politics scenes and lack of knowledge about the country political backgrounds and updates. Yesterday I have read a news from MalaysiaKini titled "Umno = Malays, the perverse logic of Utusan" (27 May 2014) in replies to the previous news titled "Hina Umno sama dengan hina Melayu-Islam" (25 May 2014) which means "Insulting Umno means Insulting Muslim-Malay". It says that "According to Utusan, insulting PAS is insulting Malays and Islam too."
It seems like Utusan have their own hidden agenda or being manipulated by certain people for promoting hatreds between races and religion which leads to Racism. But Utusan has already been in-and-out of Courts recently including being sentence for "Dafamation" lately by Khalid Ibrahim, the Selongor MB (MalaysiaKini: Utusan mohon maaf pada Khalid Ibrahim). I think there must be anybody who have been supporting them in the area of financial, after all those cases. Political parties should not be double standard. They are suppose to have vission and mission for the good of this country disregarding race, religion and culture. What actually is the purpose of "1 Malaysia" slogan for? if they do not put their words into action. Read another story about Utusan here: Umno to plough RM40mil into Utusan Melayu (From 13 November 2013).
I've also read a news from TheMalaysianInsider titled, "Now, Zahid calls Chinese 'ungrateful' for voting DAP" where according to the news, Zahid said "It is the Malays and the Indians who help Chinese businessmen. And when they vote, they choose DAP. They are ungrateful.". From the words "Businessmen", there is one thing that has come to my mind. Business are actually a fair deal or trades (Goods/Service : Payment), where customer and seller get what they want fairly. Where the taxes are administered by the government itself. So why do he state that the chinese businessmen are ungrateful. Do they have debts with the government? Business is not the same thing with 'Rasuah' (Corruption). The statement seems like leaving us with a question mark, because it seems like there has been some kind of deals or scandals going on between them (Zahid-Chinese Businessmen). You might be shocked if you read his background: http://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmad_Zahid_Hamidi#Tahanan_politik_ISA
I'm not accusing anybody, I'm just sharing this for us to ponder and learn to become a "Good listener and not easily judging others" person. No matter if it is from the Mainstream Mass Media or not. Now is the right time for the Government and authorities to prove that they are the man of their words, and convince all malaysians disregards of their backgrounds that they can feel safe living in this country. Stop doing insincere and last minutes action only during election and when people storming their voices over the Internet. (Read my post regarding Internet here.)
An evil tactics by irresponsible leaders and lecturers to create hatreds and racism between cultures and religions in Malaysia by spreading lies to students through a one-sided Seminar entitled "Seminar Kalimah Allah & Kristology Nusantara" which mean "Word of God & Christology Archipelago Seminar". They have misused their rights and power, and used religion platform as a tactic to trick people for their political interest and to cover the truth of their evil plan. They have even hired fake Catholic ex-nun and ex-priest from Indonesia.
A page from the module which have been used during the event atUiTM Malaysia, Shah Alam (Universiti Teknologi MARA):
As written in the picture (In Malay Language)
Nasrani (Kristien) adalah musuh Islam yang sentiasa berniat jahat serta memaparkan sikap negatif kepada umat Islam.
Nasrani (Kristien) adalah pembawa berita pendustaan dan mereka sentiasa berusaha menyelewengkan fakta tentang kebenaran ajaran Islam.
Nasrani (Kristien) akan berusaha sehabis mungkin untuk menimbulkan rasa sakit hati di kalangan umat Islam.
Jalan keluar dari dakyah Nasrani (Kristien) ialah dengan berhujah kepada mereka mengenai kebenaran Islam di samping memantapkan keimanan kepada Allah dan Rasulullah SAW.
Umat Islam mestilah bersikap tegas dan berhati-hati terhadap Nasrani (Kristien) serta tidak taat dan tidak menjadikan mereka sebagai pelindung/pemimpin/penjaga.
Jika umat Islam alpa terhadap peranan hujah kebenaran dan ragu-ragu dengan Islam, mereka akan mudah terpengaruh dengan tipu daya Nasrani (Kristien).
Translation in English
Christian is Islam enemy who always have hidden agenda and always displays negative attitudes to Muslims.
Christian is lies spreader and always trying to distort the facts about the truth of Islam.
Christian will do their best to hurt the feelings among Muslims.
The way to escape from Christian's propaganda is to defend the truth of Islam and strengthening faith in Allah and the Prophet Muhammad.
Muslims must be firm and stay alert of the Christian and not allowing them to become a protector / leader / guard.
If Muslims neglects the role of defending the truth and doubt about Islam, they will be easily influenced by Christian's deceit.
