Can the Imans help?

Yesterday was Friday.

Driving around yesterday, I seemed to notice that nowadays there are really quite a number of Malaysian Muslim bikers not wearing helmets on Fridays. I guess they are going to the mosques for their Friday prayers or coming out from them after.

Two things could be wrong here.

1. The bikers are certainly exposing themselves to unnecessary risks.

2. It is not good to have a portion of the citizens not abiding by the laws of the country, albeit only on a day in the week.

This group of people are obviously religious and would most likely listen to the imams' advice. Wouldn't it be wonderful if some governmental authorities can get the imams to convey their advice across to the people coming in to the mosques to attend their Friday prayers? That is to wear helmets if they are coming in on motorbikes.

Not a whole lot of political will has to be called upon to do this, no?

Another thing.

If all preachers of organised religions can be convinced to advise followers to co-exist with people of other religions as well as atheists, then "heaven" may be a lot closer to us than we think.

Please get the Imans to inform their followers not to double park or triple park the cars on Friday prayer.
