when gambling was a way of life for non-Muslims!

Reptiles of many species are known to have forked tongue.

According to Wikipedia, there is a phrase, "speaks with a forked tongue" which means to say one thing and mean another or, to be hypocritical, or act in a duplicitous manner. In the longstanding tradition of many Native American tribes, "speaking with a forked tongue" has meant lying, and a person was no longer considered worthy of trust, once he had been shown to "speak with a forked tongue".

Back to Malaysian politics, the above reflects much of Dato' Seri Utama Dr. Rais Yatim, Malaysian Information, Communications, and Culture Minister opinion on the issue of legalizing betting.

His standpoint of "gambling was a way of life for non-Muslims" shows his stupidity and ignorant of other religions. All non-Muslim religions does not encourage gambling but how he became the preacher for non-Muslims is everyone's guess.

If this is the way he views this issue, it's no wonder the Malaysian Government leaders always ended up in controversy!

Isn't it better if he put it straight that "haram or non-halal" gains is alright with the non-Muslims!

I as a Malaysian is totally shocked at such statement coming from the "Propaganda" Minister of the Malaysian Government and it's better for this "has been" politician to step out of politics to save the BN Government from falling further.

As a non-Muslim in Malaysia, I despise gambling and how can Rais blurt a sweeping statement as such?

Will I vote for such leaders leading the country in the nest General Election?
