Kingdom of Heaven, Ridley Scott’s 2005 historical epic, stands as a notable entry in medieval knight films providing a richer, more nuanced portrayal of the Crusade Knights, delving into the complexities of the era with a focus on characters like Balian of Ibelin. The Kingdom of Heaven explores themes of chivalry, duty, and moral fortitude, which resonate with the idealized notions of knighthood. By showcasing Saladin’s wisdom and Balian’s evolving sense of justice, “Kingdom of Heaven” elevates the knightly narrative beyond mere action, becoming a thoughtful exploration of ethics, faith, and the pursuit of peace in a world consumed by war.

It was reported that the Professor wetted himself (which the Professor strongly denies) when Dr M gatecrashed the Shah Alam event and posted on Twitter “I am here guys. Say it to my face.” Well, he is back with wild allegations of veiled religious conversion by using charity. Image source: Malaysiakini.

Religion 101: Religion Rumours, Here We Go Again!

I really wonder whether we will ever cross the finishing line to be a developed country if highly political, and seditious matters are played on public grounds on regular basis, turning one Malaysian against another based on hearsays, political hidden agendas and highly charged emotions.
