“The latest incident about BFM newsreader being threatened with death, rape and being burnt alive by those I assume to be Malay-Muslim netizens brings forth serious questions for this country. Is this country safe for our children to live in? If a simple point is raised against such issues as Hudud or even such issues 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 Mohamad Rasdi.(Speak Up, theSun, March 26, 2015)

Honestly speaking, this issue is a serious matter to me because overall it had been happened in our community and it involved Malaysians. We might find this issue somehow was amusing to discuss about it because it did fold up with different parties. Moreover, we are not capable enough to talk about it. But still, we should be concern about it right? Yes or no? I belief it is one of our responsibility as Malaysian to react about this incident. 



As far as I concern, I am Malay or specifically a Muslim and of course I am Malaysian. I do feel that the issue that been exposed by Prof. Dr Mohamad Tajuddin somehow open my eyes. I felt that Muslims or Malay-Muslims are being unintelligent with their superior keyboard ability where they recklessly comments with ghastly comments about this case. It was so shameless where we openly exposed our own lacking regarding Malay-Muslim ethic because I believe that they are the dominant in this issue. So where can we find the true Muslim who fight bravely for the truth as well as peaceful when most of them are sitting in front of keyboard and typing negative and awful words for their own community without being rational and fair. Of course it is not wrong to have different perspective but then, please respect others too.


The question that been asked by Prof. Dr Mohamad Tajuddin whether this place is safe place to children actually should be evaluate in critical ways. Even the victims, his daughter, Aisyah Tajuddin did said , “Since the video was published, numerous death and rape threats have been made directly against me, my family, my colleagues, and my friends.” (Aisyah Tajuddin) Perhaps this situation give more harm that we could be imagine in future if these cases still happening and leading in our community. How can we let our generation to live in danger when we are already aware about this situation? We cannot, right? I can’t.
We are Malaysian, who been portrayed as a community that polite and harmony so why don’t we show that value well. People could make mistakes because in fact we are full of mistakes since we are not perfect. So in that way, try to be more considered and be forgiveness because the victim, Aisyah Tajuddin already seeks for forgiveness. “I wish to take this opportunity to apologies for both my tone and demeanor in the video. It was never my intention to mock. It was never my intention to insult. I realise that many took offence. For that, I am truly sorry. I would never, under any circumstance, insult or condemn any religion, let alone my own.”(Aisyah Tajuddin) By then we also can improving our own self to be better than before where we learn from mistakes that happened which we need to be more careful when say or write something each other.
Everything actually could be solved in a good way where both parties will be treating equally which they able to explain or give out perspective from their position. Thus, we can avoid any misunderstanding or negativity in community and apply humanity in every action.  

Let's create an integrated global community where we have shared benefits and responsibilities, and we don't fight because of our differences.
