Today must be a happy day to many of you, as you may believe that you have won over “Allah”.
First of all, I would like to congratulate Perkasa and other NGOs who have screamed, shouted, and threatened again and again that the word “Allah” should be exclusive to Muslims in Malaysia. Congratulations! You have won the ‘holy war’, go celebrate and be merry!
Secondly, I would like to congratulate the four judges who dismissed the application of leave by the Catholic Church today. If you made this judgment to protect your own religion, congratulations! For you have sacrificed your professionalism to protect “Allah”. Wow, how sacrificial are you!
Thirdly, I would like to congratulate the Home Ministry. For it was you that filed an appeal against the high court ruling that the word "Allah" can be used by The Herald. Congratulations! Your appeal is staying in favor by the Federal Court. You must be laughing now.
Fourthly, I would like to congratulate UMNO. For you have social engineered Malaysian brand of Islam so deeply in the society that the holy war of “Allah” has now successfully distracted the eyes of Malaysian Muslims from the rising cost of living, your blatant corrupted practices and your dismal ability to govern and lead. O UMNO, you are such a political genius!
Fifthly, I would like to congratulate the Christians in Sabah and Sarawak. For today is the day you see the true colors of the institution that many of you have vehemently pledged support to for the past 50 years.
As for me, call me whatever, catch me if you like, charge me if you can, I will continue to believe and stand on the principle that everyone on this land is entitled by the Federal Constitution the same liberty to practice our own religions and to express ourselves.
On the principle of justice and liberty, “Allah” should never be exclusive to any particular group of people whether they are Muslims, Christians, Buddhist or whatever.
Lastly, to my fellow Malaysians who are BM speaking Christians, remember this, they may take “Allah” away from The Herald but they can never take God away from your heart. Be strong and courageous, continue to love and pray for them who persecute you for they know not what they are doing.
God Bless Malaysia!

在“阿拉”判决上，祝贺你们。
今天对你们而言一定是个值得欢庆的好日子，因你们深信你们已在“阿拉”字眼争议取得胜利。
首先，我想祝贺那些不断高喊口号，出言威胁，坚持“阿拉”字眼在马来西亚乃穆士林专用的土权及其他非政府组织。恭喜你们！你们已赢得这场“圣战”，去快活一番庆祝吧！
其二，我想祝贺今天赞成驳回上诉准令的四个法官。若你作出这样的判决是为了保护你的宗教，恭喜！因你牺牲你的专业准则来捍卫你的神。你真是伟大啊！
其三，我想祝贺内政部。因你上诉推翻高庭批准天主教周刊《先锋报》使用“阿拉”字眼的决定。恭喜！你的上诉得到联邦法院的青睐。如今你必定在开怀大笑。
其四，我想祝贺巫统。因你已把马来西亚品牌的伊斯兰深深融入社会，成功把我国穆斯林的视线从你的贪污腐败与惨淡的执政能力转移到捍卫“阿拉”字眼圣战 。巫统，你真是一个政治天才啊！
第五，我想祝贺沙巴及砂拉越的基督徒。因你们今天终于看到过去50年你们坚持支持的制度的真面目。
至于我，无论你想怎么说，逮捕我也好，控告我也罢，我会继续秉持原则并遵循联邦宪法的条文，即人人皆有权力信奉与实践其宗教信仰。基于公义与自由的原则，“阿拉”字眼不应只供某个团体使用即便他们是穆斯林，基督徒，亦或佛教徒也好。
最后，至所有在马来西亚使用马来语的基督徒，请记住这点，也许他们能在《先锋报》取走“阿拉”字眼但他们却无法在你心中取走上帝。当刚强壮胆，继续为那逼迫你的人祷告，爱着他们，因为他们所作的事他们不晓得。
愿神祝福马来西亚！
