kolaati - a typical Malaysia citizen

This is the controversial lecture by Anwar Ibrahim at the London School of Economics on 18 March 2010 on religion and pluralism. The lecture text was earlier published in his blog http://anwaribrahim.blog.com , but later taken out due to uneasiness of Muslim people from his home country. The text is also accessible from http://newasiarepublic.com/?p=17060 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let me begin with a cryptic line from T.S. Eliot’s “Burnt Norton”: “Go, go, go, said the bird: Human kind Cannot bear very much reality.” But I say bear it we must for indeed, it is a stark reality of our world that certain religious groups hold that only certain fundamental doctrines may lead to salvation.

The bank officer told me that I actually served a loan of BFR-1.0% financing rate, which is higher. As the result, I terminated my 200k ASB loan that I served since 2009. The benefits thus far: 1. ASB Dividend since 2009 - amounting to 70k. 2. Cash from certificate liquidity - about 30k. In comparison to direct monthly deduction, I've earned an extra 20k! With the new financing rate for my new ASB loan (BFR-1.65%), the earning shall increase, subject to steady ASB performance for years to come. Alhamdulillah.
