FAST FOR THE NATION!!
Hari Malaysia is dawning...err...it's on the September 16th for those who's body is in Malaysia but the whole gist is somewhere overseas. This year it is decided to be celebrated with a slight twist. The whole Nation will come together in an act of fasting, something almost all of the religion do, only on different manner and timings, (not sure about Ayah Pin's The Sky Kingdom and to some point, Abuya from Al Arqam...I don't know if they can cope up with all that sexual demands from all the women,legalized or otherwise, since men have to be fair to all women at all times, during this fasting season. With all that sex fest going on, is it possible for someone to fast?).
Here's a note from Rev Sivin;
Dear friends,
A few friends met up some days ago and in talking about events that have happened in the country in the past year, came up with this idea: what if on Malaysia Day we all fast for peace for our nation? The idea grew into a plan and now, it has become a nationwide call for action. "Fast for the Nation, Peace for Malaysia" is our response to this call. Please read below and join us: Malaysia is a peaceful country and it should remain that way forever. Acts of Violence and inciting hatred must have no place in our public life. Unfortunately, too many cruelties and injustices have happened since the nation’s last birthday. It is tempting to slip into despair or become revengeful. Let us turn our anger and sadness into a positive force for change. This September 16, let us all combine our efforts to present a meaningful gift for Malaysia on her 46th birthday. Let us be united in one single action. Let us all fast from dawn to dusk for peace in this blessed land. Let the Muslims amongst us fast with a specific prayer for peace for the nation. Let the Bahais, Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Taoists, followers of other spiritual traditions and atheists amongst us fast in solidarity and the same determination for peace. Let our common experience of hunger and human weakness humble, strengthen and unite us. Let us offer a hospitable smile to people we know and especially to those we don’t. Let us perform one extra act of kindness while fasting on this Malaysia day. Let us show our love and compassion for each other. Let Malaysia be a better country on her 46th birthday and every day after. Let Malaysia be truly happy and peaceful this September 16. And so we fast. . . . . . . to make room for peace!
