When Bolehlanders finally dumped dUMNo and voted in the PH government, they were hoping for the dawn of a brave new Bolehland.
That now is turning out to be more like the dawn of a new nightmare - the nightmare of regressing to the medieval times of ignorance and bigotry.
Nobody thought that with a new government installed after 60 long donkeys years, change would come with Bolehland turning back in time rather than bravely marching forward into the future.
What could you say about the spectacle of the two women being canned publicly, allegedly for attempting to engage in lesbian acts?
What could be more reminiscent of the medieval times? The spectacle of being condemned and shamed in public?
Now Pahang also aspires to the Dark Ages with wanting to impose public canning. More states to follow suit, no doubt. Once the train is set in motion, nobody wants to be left behind and seen as being anti-faith.
When it comes to religion, everyone stops thinking, even the otherwise more intellectual ones.
Even the great man himself, Maha in his second coming, says not a word.
Everyone is just so scared of being labelled anti this, anti that.
That is how religion is a powerful exploit, with a traditionally cowed and unthinking laity?

Kluang RailCoffee
The Kluang railway station coffee shop, now re-branded Kluang RailCoffee, is well known for its cuppa of coffee and the charcaol grilled piping hot buns oozing with butter and kaya...It used to attract standing-room only crowds. It still does, but the last time I was there it wasn't a good experience for me. The famous coffee had somewhat lost its oomph and even the buns...The shop has a long and noted history being first opened for business in 1938 and the place is now run by the 3rd generation LIm family. I hope the next time I return, the coffee would regain its oomph. Click to read more...
