Oh, Tuan Allah

Growing up in an agnostic, nominally Taoist, peranakan household, I frequently heard my late grandmother saying, "Tuan Allah saja tau (only God knows)," when commenting on a wide range of topics, from what was going on in her children's minds to why there were thunderstorms out of season. 

Would she have said the same about the ongoing Allah debacle?

I wouldn't because it has nothing to do with God, religion or the faith of Malaysia's Muslims but everything to do with an incompetent government's need to distract the masses from the real problems facing them today – the failing economy, rising prices, widespread crime and corruption in high places.

When will this divisive and dangerous nonsense end?

Tuan Allah saja tau.
