			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is truth in what was said in <a href="http://irasandhu.wordpress.com/2009/01/14/is-silence-always-golden/" target="_blank">this post</a>. I believe there is a time for silence and a time to speak. This is reflected in the  opening chapter of Dickens&#8217; novel &#8220;A tale of two cities&#8221; where each line begins with &#8216;There is a time for&#8230;&#8217;</p>
<p>With regard to <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/video/2006/07/03/VI2006070300379.html" target="_blank">the atrocities incurred by the Israeli troops on those residing in Gaza</a>, it is only right that we speak up. In Christianity, there is a sin which is called <em><strong>sin of omission</strong></em>. This means that we can do wrong even if we don&#8217;t do anything.</p>
<p>And silence is needed when too  much is said but nothing seems to work. Perhaps the silent language of love can make a difference. Mother Theresa used to go the streets of Calcutta to search for the outcast and care for them. However her good deeds were not always appreciated. Yet those hardened people on the streets were eventually won over not because she spoke of love, but she showed love.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After reading <a href="http://irasandhu.wordpress.com/2008/12/13/language-and-culture/" target="_blank">this post</a>, I think culture does affect the English spoken in Malaysia. As a Chinese, I notice among my peers that we use a lot of direct translation.  Two of the expressions we use among ourselves are:</p>
<ul>
<li>I think this Chinese album will go <strong><em>red</em></strong>.</li>
<li>I like this English teacher because he&#8217;s a person who <em><strong>opens the door and can see the mountain</strong></em>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Any idea what the words in bold mean? I look forward to your comments.</p>
