While everyone is busy improving their economy state, Malaysian's government is at the same time busy in some other issues.

Firstly, they have issued a rulling, called Fatwa, to ban yoga because of the fear that its hindu roots will corrupt Muslims. I don't see any interference between yoga and the religion. Yoga is always known as a good sport or exercise. Since when it connects to religion? It is a medication exercise. I have not seen anyome promote yoga through religion, but yet the Chairman of Malaysia's National Fatwa Council said that it could "destroy the faith of a Muslim". What the..?!

See BBC News.

OK fine. It is not legally binding. We say, let it go.

So now, how about awarding a Datukship to foreign celebrities? Malaysia is awarding the title of 'Datuk' to the famous Bollywood actor, Shah Rukh Khan on 6 December, because he files the movie, One 2 Ka 4 in Malacca and he brings tourists to Malaysia. I honestly think he is a great actor, but what is his connection with Malaysia? I thought datukship is only for Malaysian who contribute to the country, who bring fame to the country. I didn't know it can be awarded to any foreigner too?! The only connection here is perhaps he is a Muslim. But.. but.. his wife is a Hindu. So, if Malaysia is concerned about hinduism corrupting the faith of their muslims, maybe they need to think twice about this too?
