As you know, Hitz.FM in collaboration with Random Alphabets and United Colours of Malaysia decided to host a freeze in conjunction with World Earth Day. Participants were required to freeze in positions that created awareness about the state of our earth today such as pollution, etc etc. You can read more about it in my previous post here.

These are the videos from the event:

After all that buzz created by the KL Freeze @ Pavilion the other day, Hitz.FM requested that another freeze be organized in conjunction with World Earth Day so here are the details:

Venue : Sunway Pyramid
Time : 8.00pm or 2000 hours
Date : 20th April 2008 (Sunday)

And here’s a (because some might say that its useless and waste of time) REALLY GOOD REASON to do it:

The average person globally uses 2255 Watts of power, or a little less than 23 x100 Watt light bulbs (www.wattzon.org). Thats wasting a lot of power. Now imagine that we freeze the daily activities of as many people as possible for only 5 minutes, then we’ll be saving a lot of power.
If you’re at home and can’t join us at Sunway Pyramid, no problem. Just switch of all your power at home and FREEZE, in total darkness for 5 minutes.
If you’d like to know more about conserving energy log onto www.wattzon.org
That’s where we got educated.

So for those who missed it on the 13th, this is how you do it.

1. Go and synchronize your clocks on RandomAlphabets.com to make sure everyone freezes at the right time.
2. Be at Sunway Pyramid well before 8pm. Go about minding your own business. Most people would be congregated at the concourse or designated main area so spread yourselves out for maximum impact.
3. Sharp at 8pm - FREEZE!!! (Be creative with your poses, you’ll be viewing them on Youtube for ages to come)
4. When it’s time to UN-FREEZE, if you feel like cheering for a Freeze well done by all means go ahead. If you feel like walking away casually as if time did stand still for 5 minutes and consequently puzzle the guy who was staring at you, go ahead. As YOU please.
5. Mingle. Enjoy the rest of your evening. (As earth friendly as possible)

[Newest update (17 Apr) : Join the Freeze for World Earth Day this Sunday @ Sunway Pyramid. More details here.]

A freeze is basically like a big group of people freezing at a predetermined place and time. The place is usually given at the last minute. Its a flash-mob kind of thing but is just a clean prank.

Why? Why not?

“Where human beings get together to do something in unison, without speeches or reference to their age, colour, sex, beliefs and background.”

The meeting place was at Lot 10 (yea i know coz I was in the facebook group and was totally planning on going) then the freeze place was Pavillion and the time was 3.35pm. Some videos of the KL Freeze in Unision after the jump. (more…)

I’m sure by now we’ve all heard about the Sufiah Yusof, the mathematical genius who at the tender age of 13 was offered a place in Oxford, who now is a prostitute for a living. Perhaps the only reason why everyone is so kecoh about it is that she’s has a Malaysian mother (she’s British people, get ur facts right!) and is a Muslim.

Exclusive video interview on her confession about sex after the jump! (more…)

So are they thinking of enforcing syariah laws on everyone now?

Proposal to prosecute non-Muslims for khalwat
Thursday April 3, 2008 - excerpt from The Star Online

 

KUALA LUMPUR: A seminar on Syariah Law review wants non-Muslims found committing khalwat (close proximity) with Muslims to also be held liable.

This was among the proposals made at the two-day seminar organised by the Islamic Institute of Understanding Malaysia (Ikim) and the Syariah Judiciary Department Malaysia.

 

Syariah Court of Appeal Judge Datuk Mohd Asri Abdullah said the seminar had proposed that non-Muslims committing khalwat with Muslims should also be sentenced accordingly, but in the civil courts.

 

“We don’t have the jurisdiction to sentence non-Muslims committing khalwat with Muslims,” he told reporters after closing the seminar on behalf of department director-general Datuk Ibrahim Lembut at Ikim here today.

 

“The Muslims can be sentenced in Syariah courts, and the non-Muslim partners can probably be sentenced in the civil courts, to be fair to both parties.”

 

He said the proposal, contained in a draft resolution at the seminar, would be forwarded to the Attorney-General’s Chambers.

 

“It is up to the Attorney-General’s Chambers or the relevant authorities to decide how to create such a law,” he said.

 

However, he declined to elaborate when the proposal would be forwarded to the Government.

What do you think? Discuss.
