[Najibah, Penterjemah yang mencintai kata-kata]

KLANG: After docking in Penang, the world’s largest floating book fair onboard MV Logos Hope will be in Port Klang from Sept 29 until Oct 23.

MV Logos Hope will berth at the Port Klang Cruise Centre, Pulau Indah (formerly known as Star Cruises Terminal, West Port), on its maiden voyage around the world.

The fair will be opened to the public from 10am to 10pm from Tuesdays to Saturdays, and 3pm to 10pm on Sundays.

It will be closed on Monday. Tickets only cost RM1 and admission is free for children under 12 who are accompanied by an adult.

The book fair offers an expanded selection of over 5,000 books at affordable prices.

They cover a range of subjects including science, sports, hobbies, cookery, arts, medicine, languages and philosophy.

MV Logos Hope is operated by GBA Ships e.V. – an international, charitable organisation registered in Germany.

Is this the ship with books that we discussed before?

Most probably. I don't know any other book fair on board a ship that docks at M'sian ports other the one that sells mostly Christian literature. So unless you're a Christian, you're probably better off staying home.

[Syahira]

hmm... ok, pass

In case anyone's wondering what Najibah referred to as something we have discussed before, here is the thread: Jualan Buku Atas Kapal. Siapa Pernah Dengar?

[Najibah, Penterjemah yang mencintai kata-kata]

Even if it sells mostly Christian books, I still want to aboard it, just for the sake of being on a ship, hehe (never been on a ship before, only boats). 434 ft ship, waaa!

Harga buku? Berbaloi tak?

[Aidura]

@Kataklicik, harga buku yg dijual memang berbaloi.

50 UNITS = RM4
100 UNITS = RM8

Harga buku adalah dalam kiraan unit.

Bagi para peminat novel/fiction, buku jenis paperback ada yg boleh didapati dgn harga RM12 (150 units).

Harga buku kanak-kanak serendah RM4 (50 UNITS) dan ke atas.

Bila En Khairul sebut banyak buku Kristian..saya agak terbantut sikit hasrat nak menjengah ke sana. Tapi macam Najibah kata Najibah wrote: "Even if it sells mostly Christian books, I still want to aboard it, just for the sake of being on a ship, hehe (never been on a ship before, only boats). 434 ft ship, waaa!", saya juga jadi teruja.

Tapi batal semula bila baca ini..The Ships Ministry began in 1970 as part of the global Christian training and outreach movement, OM International...betullah cakap En Khairul..I should not go..?

Terpulanglah. Kalau saya nak beli buku-buku Kristianiti di Petaling Jaya dah ada kedai Glad Books (Glad Tidings ke apa ke...Glad Glad macam tu lah), kedai yg menjual buku-buku Kristian. Tak payah naik kapal.

[Najibah, Penterjemah yang mencintai kata-kata]

Aidura, thanks a lot :)

Hari Ahad ini mahu ajak suami ke sana, insyaAllah ;)

Derma ke mana? Memandangkan kita tahu kapal ni ada kaitan dgn dakwah agama bukan Islam, adakah kemungkinan wang pelanggan didermakan ke pendakwah2 mereka? Kepada org Islam dalam thread ini kita harus berwaspada takut2 terpalit dgn dosa shubahat.

EDIT: Pikir balik, saya rasa nak membeli buku di kapal ni pun saya rasa tak sesuai bagi org Islam. Link yg diberi Nur Azzah tu mengesahkan bahwa memang kapal ni ada kena mengena dengan organisasi pendakwah Kristian. Maka setiap sen yg dibelanjakan di atas kapal ini besar kemungkinan akan sampai ke pendakwah Kristian. Bukan saja buku yg dijual untuk kutipan derma, malah hasil jualan buku Little Mermaid pun kemungkinan sampai ke pendakwah Kristian yg menyebarkan ajaran mereka ke merata tempat termasuk kepada umat Islam.

Dan semuanya berjaya dilakukan kerana mereka menerima wang dari org ramai termasuk org Islam sendiri. ALLAH AKBAR!

(that takbir was sarcastic by the way)

[Aidura]

@KH, saya hanya melaporkan hasil tinjauan saya sahaja. tak lebih dan tak kurang ok. (puas hati?)

[Khairul Hezry, I hate people but not you. You, I like.]

Tak puas. Belanja aiskrim baru ok.

Saya setuju dengan pandangan ini. namun saya juga tidak bermaksud meng'hukum' rakan2 yang telah mengunjungi kapal ini.

[Juliana Es]

Mujur ada thread ini di sini. Dah lama perasan, tapi tak berapa hirau sangat masa awal-awal tu. Baru-baru ni staf Bhg. Perolehan ajak ke kapal tu untuk meninjau-ninjau, manalah tahu kalau bukunya murah dan bagus, bolehlah dibeli untuk perpustakaan. Tapi apabila mengetahui ada kaitan dengan Kristian, berfikir sepuluh kali juga. Terima kasih kepada rakan-rakan yang telah menjenguk ke sana dan melaporkan.

[Julia]

Yup. memang banyak buku Kristian. Saya pergi tengok dan baru sedar banyak Biblical categorized books. Yg bahagian music pun semua CD Kristian. Agak bahaya bagi orang yang tak sedar benda2 ni. Sebab dia sebut pasal derma & all tapi tak sebut salur ke mana.

Tapi masa tu dah pergi dah pun kan, nak buat mcm mana kan. So kepada sesiapa yang setakat nak pergi tengok kapal tu, boleh lah. Tapi kalau nak menderma tu, pikir2 kan lah jugak ye.

I pity the Muslims here who get so freaked out with other religions and missionary groups. It seems that you guys don't have faith or trust in yourself and would think that any donations that go to other religions will cause you to commit the biggest sin ever. You're already doing it daily without even realising it. You should should stop using computers and technological stuff and live in jungles instead, because every single technological device has links to Israel and christian entrepreneurs. Bill Gates who is a Jew invented Windows and you Muslims are using it. I dare you to stop using it in the name of your religion!! Immature fools

hey cool NSD..

[Johnny]

Hah! (reaksi terhadap post Nsd)

Good point.

[Khairul Hezry, I hate people but not you. You, I like.]

NSD, your analogy is stupid. Technological advancements created by anyone is different with a book fair sponsored directly by a missionary group. Money spent on the book fair should by logic go to the group while I doubt profit for Windows goes directly to Israel.

And Bill Gates is of English and Scotch Irish stock. Not Jewish.

kalau ada button like kat goodreads, saya akan like comment en khairul especially "NSD, your analogy is stupid."

[Najibah, Penterjemah yang mencintai kata-kata]

I foresee it coming since the first time Khairul H mentioned about the donation. Even though I believe NSD has every right to say what he/she thinks of it, but I still think he has no reason to pity us or be 'angry', tongue-lashing and all.

To NSD, it is not because we "don't have faith or trust in [our]selves" that we cannot offer donation to churches, but because according to Islam, Allah is one and only Him deserves to be worshiped, while by giving donation to churches, which don't believe in Oneness of Allah, it means that we also acknowledge indirectly that Allah is not the Only One that we submit to. It's very basic and touch on our principle of religion. That's why and it has nothing to do with our weak faith in ourselves.

[Juliana Es]

NSD, your reaction just shows your true colour, and who are really immature here. Enough said.
