Shisha declared haram (forbidden) for Muslims

Yesterday, the Fatwa (Edicts) Committee of the National Council for Islamic Affairs declared that shisha or waterpipe smoking is 'haram' (forbidden) for Muslims.

Committee chairman Tan Sri Dr Abdul Shukor Husin said Muslims were also prohibited from providing shisha-smoking services or any activity associated with shisha.

"Shisha is clearly harmful to health; it is a wasteful activity that is categorised as a bad or despicable thing that all Muslims should avoid," said Abdul Shukor.

Abdul Shukor explained that shisha would have a huge detrimental effect in terms of the health of the individual, national economic growth and shaping of the future generations.

No more Haze but blue skies here again in Kuala Lumpur

We are back to blue skies again here in Kuala Lumpur and probably the rest of the country. Spotted a plane across the blue sky this morning. It was going so fast, it even left a contrail after it.

Can you see the plane? Right there at 11 o'clock..

PSI readings look great too.
