Karim Raslan discusses the strengths Expectations and weaknesses of Mahathir’s hand-picked successor,Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. He maintains that Abdullah will do well at moderating the influence of Malaysia’s more radical Islamic leaders, but page 9 doubts whether the new prime minister can live up to the excessive expectations that the polit- ical transition has engendered. M. Bakri Musa expresses hope that Abdullah will succeed where M. BAKRI MUSA (in his view) Mahathir has failed.

  • Duncan Campbell Scott - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Duncan Campbell Scott - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Duncan Campbell Scott(2 August 1862 – 19 December 1947) Duncan Campbell Scott was a Canadian poet and prose writer. With <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/charles-g-d-roberts/">Charles G.D. Roberts</a>, <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/bliss-carman/">Bliss Carman</a> and <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/archibald- lampman/">Archibald Lampman</a>, he is classed as one of Canada's Confederation Poets. Scott was also a Canadian lifetime civil servant who served as deputy superintendent of the Department of Indian Affairs from 1913 to 1932, and is "best known" today for "advocating the assimilation of Canada’s First Nations peoples" in that capacity. <b>Life</b> Scott was born in Ottawa, Ontario, the son of Rev. William Scott and Janet MacCallum. He was educated at Stanstead Wesleyan Academy. Early in life, he became an accomplished pianist. Scott wanted to be a doctor, but family finances were precarious, so in 1879 he joined the federal civil service. As the story goes, "William Scott might not have money [but] he had connections in high places. Among his acquaintances was the prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, who agreed to meet with Duncan. As chance would have it, when Duncan arrived for his interview, the prime minister had a memo on his desk from the Indian Branch of the Department of the Interior asking for a temporary copying clerk. Making a quick decision while the serious young applicant waited in front of him, Macdonald wrote across the request: 'Approved.

  • Remarks by the Honorable Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar
    By : DATUK SERI SYED HAMID ALBAR Venue : PUTRAJAYA Date : 22 APRIL 2004 Title : REMARKS AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE OIC ON THE MIDDLE EAST The Honorable Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi Prime Minister of Malaysia H.E. Dr Abdelouahed Belkeziz, Secretary General of OIC Excellencies Ladies and Gentlemen Assalamu'alaikum Warahmatullahhibarokatuh, I would like to thank The Honorable Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Prime Minister of Malaysia today for his presence at this Special Meeting. I also thank delegates from other countries for their attendance. I know we have given very short notice but your attendance shows the importance and relevancy for this meeting to be held. As Chairman of the 10th OIC summit, Malaysia feels duty bound to call for this meeting amidst the problems and crisis facing the Muslim world and the Ummah. We witness the continued violence in the Middle East, be it in Palestine or Iraq and we also witness the arrogance of power and total disregard for international law and the multilateral process. In other words, we are facing all kinds of pressures in our intention of giving credibility and integrity to the Islamic Ummah. What is obvious is that there is a need for unity and cohesion amongst the Muslims if they want to be counted in the global affairs. Failing to do this would mean that we would continue to be sidelined, marginalized and deprived in making decisions for our own future. Others will instead make it for us. Finally, it is in this context that Malaysia has called for this special Meeting, hoping that in the spirit of brotherhood and unity, we will be able to sit down together to look at ourselves and chart our plans.

  • An Overview of the New Testament in Eight Weeks Arden C. Autry, Phd
    An Overview of the New Testament in Eight Weeks Arden C. Autry, PhD Introduction An eight-week overview cannot cover everything in the New Testament. Instead we will focus on some of the key events and some of the most important contributions by individual NT writers. With that as our aim we hope to gain a sense of the New Testament’s unity, diversity, and theological development. The approach of this series will be partly chronological, but only in a general way. Obviously the events of the Gospels precede the events of Acts, and the events in Acts partially overlap with the historical contexts for some of Paul’s Epistles. But the earliest Epistle of Paul was almost certainly written before the first Gospel was written, and the Book of James was probably written before Paul’s earliest. With a strict chronological order being out of the question for such a series, the approach taken will be somewhat canonical (taking the books in the order found in the Bible). So, for example, we will treat Matthew before Mark, even though most NT scholars (including the author of this series) believe Mark was written before Matthew. When we get to the Epistles of Paul in Lessons 5-6, the canonical approach will not serve as well. The canonical order of Paul’s Epistles goes generally from longest to shortest, not from earliest to latest (e.g., the Thessalonian letters were written years before Romans). To attempt a chronological approach, however, would involve too much repetition and historical arguments for the chosen order.
