When Theresa Kok accepted an invitation to function at Masjid Nurrusaadah, Cheras Baru recently, it turn out to be a messy polimic in blogs and media. Pro and cons were published and now the issue of where is the border of what is called a masjid. Is the whole perimeter surrounding the masjid is also part of it?. Lim Kit Siang blogged about it in blog. I somewhat agree with his elaboration to some extend.Penarik Beca also disputed responding to Utusan Malaysia clarifying the mesjid. If the issue of Theresa Kok entering the masjid compound wearing a knee length skirt, I agree that the masjid's committee should advise her about exposing the aurat. For muslim women it is the whole body except the face and the palm and a man what is between his navel and the knee. However Theresa is not a muslim women and she need to be advised. Maybe this issue will be a reminder to Theresa in future.
Now I am not disputing the pro and cons of Theresa's attending the function at the masjd's compund wearing a skirt. If muslims are concentrating on this issue, remember that Theresa is not a muslim. Why not we harp on muslim women who do not wear the tudung in public. Even the Permaisuri Agong had shown the ethics of a muslim women but how many of our female ministers now and then conceal their hair and aurat. How many of the ministers wife wear tudung but instead they try to show off how nice their hair is. Why not take this as an issue. If the Queen of Malaysia boleh why not others?
In conclusion I agree with what Lim Kit Siang had written : They attempt to use Teresa Kok as the bogeyman for Malays has failed. Their attempt to create feeling of anger and dissatisfaction among the Malays against DAP has failed.
What’s more important, the Malay dissatisfaction they fail to create has also resulted in their failure to convince PAS members that Barisan Nasional is the answer to the security and the future of Islam in Malaysia. THIS IS THEIR BIGGEST FAILURE.

I am afraid LKS is wrong. It did not fail. LKS is stuck in his coccoon of CHinese and Opposition apologist.
The Malay masses take the name Theresa Kok as najis. She is a politician and is EXPECTED to be sensitive to the various religion and race, MORE SO for the Malay Muslim Majority!
I am not sure you understand the aurat hukum in Islam. Tudung is not a big issue an aurat issue as women wearing skirts with exposed legs.
If she claim to be a Malaysian, it is impossible that she is not aware of Muslim dress code. It is impossible she not realised that tourist to mosque are required to wear aurat compliant garment.
If she and LKS does not know that, they can shove that Malaysian Malaysia thing because they are not Malaysian. [That slogan hides a racist intention for it is to deny Malay of their heritage and righst by allowing "foreign" culture and etc be given at par recognition with the indigeneous culture of this land.] How could a claimed Malaysian not know basic Malay Muslim culture?
No amount of spin can change the fact that she has been showing a growing amount of insensitivity towards jawi road signage, pig farming, and latest being dog food. Like the DAP of the past, fore, they racist haters of Malay and Islam but hiding behind so-called multiculturalism and multipluralism!
You can't spin it any worse. Wake up LKS, she was found lying. In fact, she did not have dog food in the pound. She even ordered roti bakar ... hehehe ... and a choice of menu from secret recipe or kentucky fried chicken.
If opposition and pro or sympathisers of opposition can pick on BN for the slightest of error and make mountain out of mole hill, then Theresa is already a mountain that can'r be spinned in to molehill!
