Poco-poco dance

This is the poco-poco dance.



Recently it has been banned by a local mufti who is pursuing the issuance of a fatwa to ban it being danced at in public places.Apparently it contains elements of christianity and the worship of idols. Is that just a fancy way of saying taoism?

I had no idea what a poco-poco dance is but hving read it from The Star i went to youtube to search for a video on this poco-poco.

Poco-poco apparently means CHUBBY in indon. Unless my translation is way off. After watching the video, it looked like an ordinary stupid dance that people are always inclined to organize at events. It looked harmless and could even be a load of fun.

Many people were disappointed with the decision of the Perak JAKIM and it is rather outrageous that a dance will be banned in public for no solid reasons. But what's more important is that we have this overtly zealous elite making decisions on behalf of the people that is driving us backwards.

We are like sheeps and they the shepherds, herding us towards the wrong direction. Religous fundamentalism is growing in Malaysia and that bodes ill for many of us. What i detest most about the fundamentalists is that they are always just too conservative or too extreme. They never did know how to balance things. And i dont think they know how either.

I think we're all gonna be screwed if religous idiots are given seats of power and as it can be seen, some really do make it and began proving their idiocy right off the mark. I think i'm gonna go pray to that statue sitting on a tall table. She might just hear my prayer.
