IT is a dangerous sign of the times in Malaysia when we can shamelessly condemn Muslim senior citizens who do not fast during Ramadan in mainstream media. Case in point is the 71-year-old man who was caught eating in public in Kedah. He claimed that he broke his fast at a non-halal shop because he did not have the energy to continue fasting.
The Quran tells us that we must always stand up for justice, even if it is against ourselves [4:135] because Allah orders justice, kindness and good conduct, and forbids injustice, immorality and oppression [16:90].
