<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Pro-moderate group G25 accused Pahang Mufti Datuk Seri Abdul

harbi” as it considered the opposition party to be valid and “halal”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The group comprising Malay-Muslim retired high-ranking civil
servants said the DAP and all political parties, as well as civil society, have
the freedom to fight for their own struggles as long as they do not oppose king
or country, or violate the law.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“It’s very clear that the DAP is a political party that is
valid and ‘halal’ (permissible) based on the Federal Constitution,” said G25 in
a statement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Accusing the party of being ‘kafir harbi’ implies that the
party is disloyal to country and race, without having holistic and concrete
facts. Therefore, such an accusation is a baseless and irresponsible one.
What’s ironic is that such an accusation came from someone who has a high
position in religion like the Mufti,” it added.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Abdul Rahman was recently quoted in Umno-linked daily Utusan
Malaysia as calling the DAP “kafir harbi” over its opposition to hudud laws and
sparked uproar among both Muslims and non-Muslims.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The label which translates roughly to “warring infidel”
means those branded as such can be killed for going against the implementation

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">G25 said today that the term “kafir harbi” referred to
infidels who were disloyal to the Madinah nation during Prophet Muhammad’s time
and pointed out that the soul and spirit of such a nation would be very
different from Malaysia’s multiracial makeup.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The group added that it did not see any political party or
civil society violating the Federal Constitution or the law, noting that their
struggles instead were to uphold good governance, freedom and values like
integrity, transparency and accountability, which are looked highly upon in
Islam.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

bad enough to “wash” your hands in it. We sanitize the water tank at selected
maintenance intervals, however parasites build tolerances to these cleaners.
Check the outside of the aircraft when walking in. If the paint is crappy
shape, the plane is in crappy shape. Skydrol (hydraulic fluid) is a nasty fluid
and will dissolve everything. So if the paint is missing, it’s probably from a
Skydrol leak. No one wants a hydraulic leak at 35,000 ft in the air. As you
can’t just pull over and top the reservoir off.”</span><o:p></o:p></div>

discourage tipping, so when you offer a tip it is very likely your flight
attendant will turn you down. But if you offer a second time, or slip a few
bills into his or her hand, it will usually be greatly appreciated–and may earn
you a free snack or even an extra-stiff Bloody Mary (if you’re into that kind
of thing). When you receive truly extraordinary service, though, a letter or
email to the airline praising the work of a specific flight attendant or crew
is most appreciated and can sincerely help a flight attendant’s career.”</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">There is one thing that many airlines do that most
passengers do not know which I learned from a pilot friend. Even if the service
standards are getting lower and lower most airlines will still be nice enough
to let you check the cockpit cabin if you ask politely. The trick to getting
this insider tour is asking to the crew once the airplane has landed and the
pilots are not rushing to get ready for take off. Next time you fly, ask nicely
and you might be surprised!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

chances of survival if the plane were to crash. According to both TIME magazine
and Popular mechanics data, sitting at the back of the airplane, particularly
in the middle seats, will increase your survival rate if the plane were to
crash. Thus I always try to sit in the back, even if it is more inconvenient in
terms of boarding and disembarking from the plane. It also allows for much
easier access to the restroom, if the need arises.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

much everyone I know says a prayer and grips the hand of their loved ones tightly
– which is understandable considering you are on a massive pile of metal which
by some feat of engineering seems to get and stay airborne. Statistically there
is a very low risk of a life threatening situation in a plane because there are
strict standards in place to ensure the safety of air travel. We should be more
worried about who we have to sit next to than a plane crash!</span><o:p></o:p></div>
