UPDATE @ ABOUT 3.00PM:
This was sighted at MENJ's blog -- which has since been re-opened -- as his APOLOGIES, just the first few paras ~~
"An open letter of apology to Malaysian Christians
[Posted here for the benefit of those who are not affected by the Malaysian IPs ban. Update: IP ban is off.]
Earlier last week, as Executive Editor of the Islamic website Bismika Allahuma, I approved the decision to publish a satirical content generated from a fake newspaper on the website under the title of "A vision of the future". The satirical material has since been replaced with "A Vision of the Future Without…", due to the unwarranted and unfair public attention it generated in the Malaysian blogosphere. It is also puzzling that this controversy should take place, since Bismika Allahuma is not part of the blogosphere and I have never made it as part of the Malaysian blogosphere.
It must be noted first of all that I *DID NOT* write the content of this satire. The authorship was not by me but by a member of our team which we shall withhold. I will however take responsibility for approving it and posting it to the website in my capacity as Executive Editor."

I advise ER to visit his Blog to read the full apology text. I just left a note there in essence "Accepting his apologies, in the spirit of "Do unto others what you wish others (do) unto you."
I hope,in this episode, all of us, including Desi, will learn some lesson; in quoting the Bard, "All is well that ends well."
Desiderata will go about this evening "removing" the inciteful passages under reference and whatever is deemed "negative" in the whole episode. Trust this Host, I will do the needful.
"PeAce to All."
THIS INITIATIATIVE TO SEND A MEMO TO THE PM IS OFFICIALLY DISCONTINUED. ~~ Desiderata

‘Do unto others what thou would like others to do unto you’ is another famous parable that reminds us not to cause hurt to others if we do not want others to hurt us just the same. –Repeats mahaguru’s line.
In that spirit, I too accept your apologies. My Initiative is likely to be discontinued before deadline expressed earlier. "
I call on my ER to accept MENJ's Apologies in good faith.
I also wish there will be no further debate on the issues under refernce; but if you wish to read the Orioginal APOLOGIES post, visit blog.menj.org.
PeAce to All.:)

Are you OK? Sure? Nice to hear that it's all over .... those shitty things.
Does that mean you're going back to writing codes and poetries?? lol
Hey, watched DaVinci Code already or not??
Whether its truly over or not, some things are just not worth it on closer look. Take care Desi.
mave SM; Helen, Anak Merdeka:
Thanks for your concern.
I always will move on with Blogosphere friends I've made -- including you guys,w hich include Fe-mail, OK! -- some of whom I've met over at least THREE gatherings we call the G7 or G7+ meets.

Yes, Helen and other ER who read this:
Desi will come back after a wickedend Hiatus -- refreshed and raring to go,

GOoDNite!
Hehe either way thanks man.Will probably be linking all you guys up soon, the least i can do.Have a good one.
Thanks, Desi, you have a big heart! Have been following your post, still your ever-faithfull reader. Not completely silent, but rather, watch and pray!
Many things happen over the past few weeks. Your "updates" on the turn of events came in exactly the same time of another event of sensitive nature with the same happy ending. When you pray, things happen!
You are great - that's what I read when I visited a client's office yesterday. I really saw the greatness in this person in doing things very professionally. His son, Ryan, wrote the card to him.
Friend, you are great! I want to share this verse with you - for encouragement,
Matthew 25:40
"...whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me."
