These words were spoken by Father O C Lim last year.....extracted from Pat Lu's posting:
"Our country enters the phase of naked display of aggression. When a regime is morally bankrupt it will use immoral means to hold on to power. We might be weak but we still have the power of prayer & silent witnessing. The unjust may break our bones but they can't break our spirit. " - Father O.C. Lim
And yesterday, at the PJ Courts when we were there to lend support to the 22 charged for illegal assembly: Pastor Sivin Kit interviewd Father O C Lim and this is amongst what Father Lim said: "Take Jesus away and I’ll be a coward"
Indeed, I would never have taken this road less travelled without the Strength that could only come from Him.
I share here too these words extracted from Pat Lu's postings:
"Christ has no body now on earth but yours,
no hands but yours, no feet but yours,
Yours are the eyes through which to look out
Christ's compassion to the world
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about
doing good;
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless men now."
"Let nothing disturb you.
Let nothing frighten you.
All things pass away.
God never changes.
Patience obtains everything.
Whoever has God lacks nothing.
God alone suffices."
Both poems above are by St. Teresa of Avila.

Mandarin Oranges....Police and more...
For the past two Sundays, the peaceful MesraRakyat gatherings were disrupted by the police. Despite being in a public area, with permission from the owners, the gathering was considered to be illegal by the police. I had been receiving telephone calls almost daily from our friendly SB officer advising me not to attend the gathering and is possible try to call it off: my response has always been, I have no authority to call it off and as always, I WILL BE THERE!
For the past two weeks, I have been busy attending meetings to try resolve matters and helping make Malaysia a better place. It has been busy, frustrating but rewarding too in that I can make a difference.
Whilst it is still sad to see many people still having the "old mind set" but changes is not easy to come by. It may take a while to see changes in our society as a whole, it does not mean that we have to give up. Nor does it mean that people are unwilling to change. Change management takes time and I am glad to be able to be a part of this.
I am also glad to see many young people actively participating in events and gatherings to help bring about changes. More and more people are walking the talk instead of just standing by and watching.
These are people that gives hope for the nation. These are Harapan Negara and of course they are all ANAK BANGSA MALAYSIA.

Anak Bangsa Malaysia
The following copied from YB Hannah Yeoh's blog. From day one that I met Edward, I have been impressed and standing by to give him my 100% support for what he stands for......May God continue to guide him as he journeys on to bring changes to this community. Edward - USAHA, HINGGA JAYA - To strive, To seek, To find but not to Yield!
My political secretary, Edward Ling has recently been included in the DAP Socialist Youth (DAPSY) leadership for 2008-2010. This is good news for the youth of Subang Jaya as this is a national committee. May the voice of our youth be heard in all areas of governance.
For those who do not know, Edward Ling played a key role in inspiring me to register myself as a voter prior to March 2008. His interest in politics started when he was still in school. He would read the newspapers more than his textbooks and that passion never ceased. Returning from Australia after obtaining his degree, he began to seriously consider how he could make a difference in our nation's politics. He would speak to his friends over coffee on the effect of corruption and danger of being indifferent. I was one of them at such coffee sessions. Sometimes, a single act of encouraging someone to do something small yet positive could lead to something way greater than what you can ever ask or imagine. Congratulations Edward! May you continue to inspire many more young people to bring change to this land. For more information on Edward, please visit his blog http://www.edwardling.blogspot.com/
