Jalan Pulang

A month ago, I bought and read Kassim Ahmad's book 'Jalan Pulang : Dari Socialisma kepada Islam'. Then when I saw an article in Malaysiakini written by a certain Yunus Ali about the same book, it caught my attention. I was curious, just like a curious on-looker passing by an accident at Federal Highway. Indeed, Yunus' writing is more critical than my thoughts of the book. But it is sad to "see" this assumingly intelligent person, displaying a rather childish mentality. When he authoratively condemned Kassim for not being critical of Tun M's 22-year at the helm, I was reminded of a bully during my school days, "kalau awak tak kutuk si-polan, awak bodoh! awak bodoh!" You are so prejudiced, Mr. Yunus. In bahasa rawa, we'd term you as a NGOk. Get a life... oh, better still, get lost.
