on the road - the modern peeping tom

The Cabinet directed the FT Jawi to cease the vigilante corps in its department. Though these people claim it is volunteer service to advice and or help people in needs or run foul of the syariah laws or its regulations. It is snooping by any other methods or means. What right to these people have? The Federal Constitution guarantees privacy of one's own affairs. Last year we had Mat Skodeng in Malacca which the Cabinet asked the Chief Minister to disband it (He was the chief of these group of people) We don't want to have any Taliban style administration running around the country just because one's faith (Islam) forbids it. God makes us God will listen Afterall He is Compassionate and Forgiving and Loving....He already knows what His children are running into. So FT Jawi shouldnt play moralist to advice people to follow the religious doctrines. Now I read in today's Star FT Jawi defied the Cabinet directive. If that is so, the PM should sack all these people and those involved in this modern peeping tom. The PM should not allow the Cabinet directive to be ignored. He should advice the Minister concerned to take the appropriate action on these people. If nothing is taken seriously at all, then I will see a floodgate of other religious bodies to do the same. One can why not the other eh?

There are locking systems in one's religion. Any one who breaks it has to answer when he is called to do so. In this way, we tolerate other faiths in the country. One shouldnt lose count what privacy means. It is a private matter between the wrongdoers and his God...nothing to do with others perception. One can't play God and stand on high moral grounds. We are all sinners if not in physical needs but in emotional needs and if not in these needs it is in our religious needs. Are we as pure as what we think? Hah! I rest my case!
