Utusan Malaysia published a front-page story titled “Teo Nie Ching makes trouble again” along with a picture of her performing aerobic exercises with men and women in the Masjid Taman Cheras Jaya compound at the recent Maal Hijrah carnival. The newspaper accused her of wearing tight-fitting clothes. She is pictured wearing a white T-shirt and track pants, as were the other Muslim participants.

By Jackson Ng (former journalist)

After 53 years of Merdeka (Independence), the Barisan Nasional (BN), especially the MCA, never fails to constantly warn non-Malays of PAS’ strive for the implementation of hudud laws under an Islamic state. But what the MCA fails to condemn is BN-Umno’s declaration that Malaysia is already an Islamic state.

And since Malaysia is already an Islamic state, what is there for non-Malays to fear anymore? Unless you are saying PAS and Umno’s Islamic state are different. This is illogical because the Malays in PAS and Umno profess the same religion – Islam.

And Islamic laws are only applicable to Muslims, NOT non- Muslims.

What is very clear today is that Malaysians, especially non- Muslims, must be very afraid of Taliban Umno. The Umno-controlled Utusan Malaysia on Thursday (Dec 30, 2010) continued with its fanatical Taliban-like attacks on DAP’s Serdang MP Teo Nie Ching.

Utusan Malaysia published a front-page story titled “Teo Nie Ching makes trouble again” along with a picture of her performing aerobic exercises with men and women in the Masjid Taman Cheras Jaya compound at the recent Maal Hijrah carnival. The newspaper accused her of wearing tight-fitting clothes. She is pictured wearing a white T-shirt and track pants, as were the other Muslim participants.

In August, BN politicians and Muslim groups criticised Teo over her controversial surau visit, after Utusan Malaysia published a front-page picture of her, with her hair uncovered, addressing those praying at the Al-Huda Surau in Kajang Sentral.

Such fanatical religious attacks will surely further frighten away both local and foreign investors, but that is of little concern to the Umno-led BN ruling coalition.

Clearly, BN-Umno is bent on retaining ruling power at whatever cost. Its behaviour and continuous tolerance with Utusan Malaysia’s constant and consistent religious and racial attacks speaks volume of its intentions.

It is also timely to point out that the Umno-friendly Malay rights group Perkasa had also demanded that Syariah laws be enacted to ban non-Muslims from entering mosques and suraus. In its attacks, Perkasa must have forgotten or conveniently left out MCA, Gerakan and MIC leaders who have also been entering mosques to attend community functions.

However, Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leaders, including PAS spiritual adviser Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat, had defended Teo over her mosque visit. Teo was reported to have said that although her act may cost her party Malay votes, she would continue engaging Muslim voters through community functions whenever she is invited by a mosque in her constituency.

The fact that there are Muslims and mosques willing to invite Teo to grace community functions show that there are many
rational Muslims or Malays who refuse to ape the ways of Taliban Umno Malays.

There is then, still hope for a progressive and truly 1Malaysia to be realised.

But, do be afraid, be very afraid of Taliban Umno and Taliban Utusan Malaysia.

Utusan and UMNO are not true Taliban. I think the real Taliban would be insulted to ba associated with them. The simple reason is what Utusan and UMNO are doing is just making use of religion for political mileage. These are the scums and pits of the earth. They are not religious people. They are making use of religion and anything else possible just to remain in power.

If any man gets turned on by track pants and Tee-shirt he need his genitals removed. Only a very sick pervert would get turned on by how Teo dressed up.

I love this kind of reporting. It's good for the public and mind you we know how to judge what is right and wrong. I am very confident PAS shared my view. We are not stupid you know. BN like to think we are especially Utusan Malaysia. This report only scored points for the oppositions. I would encourage the MP for PR to continue the good work in engaging the people for that is where your votes are. Less politicking and more grassroots work. You will never regret it.
MP Teo Nie Ching well done.

If animals can be slaughtered in the mosque compund, you can do just about anything else on it.
Aerobics on mosque compund is a new thing. Maybe the malay community has no money to join the various fitness centres sprouting everywhere.
Best for teo to just ignore utusan and perkasa. not worth discussing any issues with them. Like talking to a dead corpse.

What is Utusan Malaysia good for ? ? ? ?...............preaching the UMNO-muslims to hate the non-muslims and promoting greed to the UMNO-muslims and also covering-up the sins and mistakes of UMNO by blaming the opposition leaders like Lim Kit Siang and Lim Guan Eng! ! !
What else can they do ? ? ? ?.................and they are so proud of its foolishness ! ! ! !

Pakatan Rakyat Serdang MP Teo Nie Ching has indeed Passed the People's Parliament requirements Test. No wonder BN is very very afraid of her hard working and community qualities ?
The MCLM and the " Third Force " from West Malaysia and East Malaysia will continue to SUPPORT and VOTE for any MPS and ADUNs who are as hard working & community oriented as her !
Let's hope and believe that more candidates of her QUALITIES and hard working nature , are nominated to stand for MPs and ADUNs in West Malaysia and East Malaysia !
Syabas ! Keep up your good work as a Professional MP of the people in your Serdang constituency ! SABM .

Read my Qur'an swearing pink pouting lips: Leave the Utusan Malaysia alone, they are just doing what they think is their holey Jahat. It is not as if they were raping an Indonesian maid or C4-ing some pregnant mongolian woman, (which they did not cover because 1moi sworn on the Qur'an that these don't exist). What's wrong with they try selling news paper using a nubile, voluptuous, wet-TShirt poster girl of the pendatang anti-national DAP as their bait? Killing all kafir opposition birds with one holey Jahat stone? Al-tantuyalhaUMNOdollar-lah, all is fair is hate and war!! $emua-nya OK!

utusan meloyakan that has long ago degraded itself to toilet papers, ,

The case of a serving minister who raped his Indonesian maid several times is more newsworthy. Why wasn't it carried in the papers ??? Not even a single word being said about it. !!!!

rice anak yatim,. As the minister of of information., you too have failed miserably in your duty for allowing that toilet stuff to do selective reporting. We expect you to insist they disclose what happened, or at least name that sex maniac monster.

Can you do that now. ???

to those who champion Utusan Melayu aka UMNO buntek, UM is actually sending utusan malaikat to all its readers. We all saw how evil this papers, by creating fake stories and spreading rumours. Let them be what they want as Utusan will be burnt in hell soon just like UMNO. Utusan may critize Teo for wearing "super tight "shirt or pant, but Utusan themselves didn't realise that many of their advertisement published in its paper are far worst as most of them promoting sexual propraganda using many tight-fitting sexy girls and up to an extend advertising sexual-aid products. What is the difference?

Since when is the Malaysian rakyat afraid of the Taliban UMNO? I'd say "Bring 'em on". I love the fight and the challenge. Especially with small kindergarten kids. When they never get to grow up, do not blame me for taking on an unfair challenge.
