Why 'kecoh-kecoh' over poco-poco?

Would I be un-Islamic if I disagree with Perak Mufti Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria's decision to ban the poco-poco? 
The reason for giving the fatwa is that the poco-poco has elements of Christianity and spirit worship.
Why all these years no ulama has declared it as such and why now?
And during all these years our Malaysian women were really having so much fun sweating it out to the song made popular by Indonesian singer, Jopie Latul:
"Belenggang pata-pata,
( berlenggang).........
cuma ngana suka bikin pusing.
(Hanya kamu suka buat aku pening). "
Is it wrong to have some fun? Have you seen these women chanting some holy or un holy words, as if they are in some kind of a trance? Or have our women converted to Christianity after these sessions?
Why do we have to take this seriously? Poco-poco is just a form of exercise, a close cousin of the aerobics. You will enjoy more during your workouts with fast and catchy numbers.
Jopie Latul's version is the most popular among Malaysians.
Over the years too, some Malaysians have created their own dance steps, and produced their own version of poco-poco, or better still Malaysian (or OneMalaysia) poco-poco.
Thank God, our Indonesian neighbour has not cooked up a storm with Malaysia over the rights to poco-poco!
Let us all not start a row over poco-poco. 
We girls just wanna have fun when we get together.
I can vouch for that. I was the one who introduced and taught our Bernama ladies to dance the poco-poco. I was the women association (Benita) president then until my retirement on March 1.  
Our GM's wife, Datin Suriani has since taken over this portfolio.
I could see the enthusiasm among the women when they joined these sessions. Benita immediately received new members especially the younger generation, to join our association.
But like many new things, the interest peaked when it was still hot, and dwindled later.
What's important is these women had so much fun.
This year, Benita will have aerobics sessions in its calendar of events.
With all the kecoh-kecoh over the poco-poco, it looks like many women associations are lying low and scrapping the poco-poco from their gatherings.
Let us hope that Selangor and KL will not follow Perak's footsteps.








 



    

Sex Video 'teaser' loaded on YouTube

 The Facebook Community were abuzz today with a 'teaser' of the controversial sex video. The Star online reports:

PETALING JAYA: A 'teaser' of the controversial sex video implicating an opposition leader has been loaded on popular social video site YouTube.

The one minute, 47 second clip shows a man in a towel and a woman in what appears to be a hotel room.

A third person, a fully-dressed man, is also seen in the short clip.

It is not clear who uploaded the video.

On March 21, newsmen were shown a 22-minute video, showing a man resembling the opposition leader, having sex with a woman, by a man who identified himself only as 'Datuk T'. He claimed the video was recorded on Feb 21 in a local hotel room.

Datuk T said he wanted the media to watch the footage showing the politician before sending the copy to him and his wife.

He said if the individual in the video was the politician he had identified to the media, "then he and his wife must step down from politics."

Former Malacca chief minister Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Tamby Chik, businessman Datuk Shazryl Eskay Abdullah and Perkasa treasurer Datuk Shuaib Lazim later admitted to being 'Datuk T'.
