In the name o Allah the Most Gracious and the Most Merciul.

Peace be upon him our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW and his companions. Alhamdulillah, Hehas showered His blessing upon us by giving the chance to continue our lie and duty as the caliph oAllah in this world and praise to Allah SW because he has give us the opportunity to publish the 3rdissue o AIKOL Press which is the last issue or this semester.

As we all know, recently we are shocked by the 8.8 scala Richter earthquake ollowed by tsunamithat hit Japan and had killed almost 1000 innocent people there. It caused major damages to thecountry. T e tsunami also hit Hawaii several hours later, but did not cause major damage. Many othercountries such as Philippines, South America, Alaska and Canada had been alerted or the tsunamithat is predicted to hit them. Isnt it the sign rom Allah so that we must aware o His power andwarnings? We should thank Him or still protecting our beloved country rom that kind o disaster.

Most o us have the opinion that as a student we should concentrate and ocus into our study sothat we can succeed as a good student.

AlKitab, anyone?

I youve been reading the news lately, sure you had came across the story

o Malay Bible being detained by the government. T e issue o MalayBible is yet another chapter in our reedom o religion classroom. Being amulti-religious society, o course this kind o story will be seen as tryingto stir the hornets nest.

Bible Society o Malaysia (BSM) imported 5,000 Alkitab Berita Baikrom Indonesia on March 23, 2009, but the Malay Bibles together with100 copies o other Christian literature were conf scated and detained bythe Home Ministry at Port Klang, and that the BSM had tried to retrievethem or over a year.

T ere is also a similar incident involving another Christian group,the Gideons, which had its shipment o 10,000 Malay-language Biblesdetained in Kuching in 2009; but had the conf scation order li ed a erPutrajaya intervened directly.

T is issue had open a debate between quarters regarding the relevancyo allowing the publication o Bible in Malay. Some say that allowingthis will lead to mass propagation o Christian teaching to the Malays,something that is against the provision o the Federal Constitution.While some others think that as long as it is distributed among theChristians, then why not?

T e Malaysian Insider reported a statement by the President o PersatuanUlama Malaysia, Whats the point o objecting to it? I know thesentiment is that there is a ear o Malays reading the Bible, but these arewithin their (Christians) rights... there is not much we can do about it,we can bang our heads against the wall and nothing will happen, he said.

graduated cum laude with a law degree rom the U.P. College o Law.While in detention Governor Roque B.

Marcos passed the bar examinationwith the highest score on record, while also writing an 830-pagedeense. Several people contested his score and a retake was takenalbeit an oral bar examination witnessed by several people. His

second bar examination resulted in a 100% score, the highest gradeobtained in the Philippine Bar.
