  Happy Ramadhan to all our Muslim friends.

This is the month of Ramadhan, and just can’t believe what I’ve been reading. Isn’t this a time where you seek God. Isn’t this a time to forgive those who has done you wrong. Isn’t this a good time to ask for forgiveness for your wrong doings?

But what do we have? We have Ahmad Ismail refusing to apologize for the remarks about the Chinese being squatters in Malaysia during the recent Permatang Pauh by-election campaign. And if that’s not enough, he is accusing the media for making false reports about his statements.

He even claimed that his decision not to apologise for his racially inflammatory remarks has received “tremendous support” from Malay-Muslim groups. “They were flabbergasted with the emerging threats against Malay rights and privileges,” he said.

“I am surprised with the unexpected overwhelming support I had received from Malay-Muslims across the country. It seems Malays have kept back their disgruntlement for far too long and my issue had evoked their sentiments. “It is going to be a major issue now.”

I’m sure the majority of Malays-Muslims don’t feel the way Ahmad feels. I think he has killed the spirit or reason of Ramadhan. He has lost the purpose of Ramadhan!

So if he wants to continue on to stir up racial sentiments, let him be. I like to leave him alone and wish all our Muslim friends a “Happy Ramadhan,” (including Ahmad) and not let it spoil my Sunday Special and my hope for a better Malaysia.

Saudi Dates

I bought this Saudi Dates stuffed with cashew nuts, almond, walnuts, and dried peach. I thought this would be a good way to start my Sunday Special this week since it’s the month of Ramahdan.

Or Spaghetti with Clams in a White Sauce. Vongole simply means clams and Bianco is white sauce. So we have spaghetti cooked just long enough to be still firm, and not too soft (al dente) with clams, shrimps, fresh abolone mushroom, julienned carrot in white sauce garnished with fresh basil.
