Susulan daripada artikel saya sebelum ini yang mengecam tindakan YB Jeff Ooi, mengatakan politik Islam di Malaysia telah meng'brainwash' persepsi beliau terhadap dunia Islam luar, kali ini YB Jeff terus berusaha menegakkan pendirian beliau dengan terus memberikan respon yang agak biadap kepada pengunjung blog beliau yang ingin menegur.

Rupa-rupanya, YB Jeff ini tidak boleh orang persoalkan isu PORK dan juga arak yang beliau angkat martabat kedua benda ini begitu tinggi sekali hanya kerna ianya boleh didapati dengan mudah di Abu Dhabi.

Kenapa saya bilang YB Jeff kurang sopan?

1. Kebanyakan respon beliau hanyalah mengulangi ayat yang sama iaitu;

JEFF OOI says: Hence a rude culture shock for me. x1000 times

Cuba bayangkan jika kita cuba untuk menerangkan secara hikmah dan sopan, jawapan yang diberi sama dan stereotaip, seolah-olah tidak ingin layan, atau seperti mengatakan 'talk to the hands' sahaja. Tentu menyirap juga rasa marah walau niat asal murni untuk tegur!

2. Lihat sahaja respon yang lebih panjang daripada beliau terhadap seorang pemberi komen ini.

ermmm repeating this sentence "JEFF OOI says: Hence a rude culture shock for me." does not clean your veil motive when at the same time you posted "Suddenly, just like the zen experience of catharsis ( Κάθαρσις ) and satori ( 悟 ), I realised how much I had been brain-washed all along by political Islam back home"

Im sorry, but this time your post is bordering on insulting at least to strict muslims

JEFF OOI says: You sounded like an authoritarian chieftain in the history books. But this place is THINKING ALLOWED, THINKING ALOUD. You have come to he wrong place, my friend. I am still saying I had a rude culture shock and I don't give a damn whether you agreed with me. That's the cathartic experience that hadn't dawned on you. I hope you travel out of your cocoon. If you had and find yourself still comfortable with yourself that's fine by me as we are all free in the mind.

But, frankly by the same token, what you said can be seen as equally insulting to the leaders and people of UAE and Abu Dhabi on how they want to govern their belief system

dan yang ini....

..........I turn back his comments on living in a cocoon... I believe jeff, that the more you travel the more you see differences in culture and the more you appreciate unique cultural practices in each country etc... Thus being more tolerant to cultural differences be it right or wrong in your opinion....

You are free to comment on what you think... At least write it in a way that does not border on insulting or telling Muslims in Malaysia how to act or live... "respect is both ways"...

JEFF OOI says: By my personal observation -- and this is what a blog like mine is all about -- Muslims in the UAE practise the form and substance of their religion so starkly different from Malaysia's. By the same token, let not Malaysians of all creeds "insult" Muslims outside Malaysia -- and those geographically nearer to the Holyland -- who live to practise their faith differently from Political Islam in Malaysia.

The people there told me there is ONE Islam that is primarily based on the Quran and the Hadith. They don't see how the existence of political Islam ala Malaysia may sway their faith. That's the statement they had made, as can been seen (cross-checked) through their governance model over non-Muslims and global investors and travellers, and the syariah system in all trades of their business/official and private lives.

I leave it to you if you decided to cocoon yourself and deny a living world of Islam in the UAE but I have just decided to stop shutting my mind to the rude culture shock that I was dealt with while visiting UAE in the last few days. I will certainly go back there again to learn more, particularly about how a "liberally progressive" Malaysia can emerge as the old race-based regime goes down in this country's history.

Abu Dhabi... A rude culture shock for me

Abu Dhabi within the UAE is an Islamic country, yes?

Abu Dhabi is at the seat of influence among members of the Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC), yes?

I had a rude culture shock this morning when I turned up for breakfast
at the Beach Rotana hotel. The first food counter I walked past was
labelled P O R K. It was situated alongside other food counters
serving an array of international and regional guests.

A culture shock because, even back home, the most liberally
progressive and the most modern of Kuala Lumpur hotels don't do what
Abu Dhabi hotels are doing. (My local friends told me Le Meridien
Riyadh is no different in handling pork station at its F&B outlets.
Open and non-discriminatory, just prominent labelling.)

Suddenly, just like the zen experience of catharsis ( ???????? ) and
satori ( ? ), I realised how much I had been brain-washed all along by
political Islam back home.

Last night, on board the Etihad flight, I was served 2003 chiraz red
wine with a good selection of French cheese and Swedish crispy
biscuits.

Jeff Ooi, seronok sakan jalan-jalan makan angin di UAE ikut rombongan Lim Guan Eng. Lagi seronok si Jeff ni apabila ketemu dengan hidangan feverit, iaitu PORK dan hidangan arak yang enak.

Jangan pula disebalik keseronokan itu politik Islam di tanahair dicerca dan direndahkan martabatnya. Jangan pula lupa bahawa perjuangan kemerdekaan negara ini berpunca daripada keinginan orang Melayu untuk mengamalkan cara hidup berlandaskan agama iaitu ISLAM, dan tatabudaya Melayu, penduduk asal Tanah Melayu. Kaum Cina dan India tidak ditinggalkan bersama kerana telah dibawa masuk oleh British dan telah diterima oleh orang Melayu asalkan perjuangan kemerdekaan dicapai.

Seronok sangatkah dapat melawat UAE dengan percuma, makan PORK percuma, minum wine percuma? Atau adakah Jeff Ooi menulis posting tersebut dalam keadaan dibawah pengaruh alkohol?

Kalau Jeff Ooi di'brainwash' oleh political Islam back home, tentunya tuduhan ini ditujukan kepada PAS, musuh dalam selimut DAP.

Sedarlah wahai PAS dan ahli-ahlinya, anda kena langkah banyak mayat pemimpin DAP sebelum agenda parti tersebut boleh dicapai, lebih sukar lagi sekarang apabila kalangan pemimpin sendiri sudah ada puak yang pro-Erdogan, puak-puak ini ditanam oleh Islamist Liberal dari satu lagi parti Pakatan. Renungkanlah.

OreKelate: Kat Kelate pung ado babi, ore cino makey jugok babi sini, tapi takdok lah terkinja-kinja mace Jeff Ooi bilo jupo babi. Jenis minat ko babi payoh la pok2 ni. Hotel tu hotel antarabangsa, memey la keno ado babi, tetamu maghi segenap pelusuk alam. Mung ni Jeff, baru kali pertamo deghak luar negaro ko? Wak malu jah..
