Perlu ke celebrate Valentine's day??

ok make it clear, kite mulekan dgn definition dari Wikipedia : Saint Valentine's Day, commonly shortened to Valentine's Day,^[1][2][3] is an annual commemoration held on February 14 celebrating love and affectionbetween intimate companions.^[1][3] The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs, Saint Valentine, and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 500 AD. It was deleted from the Roman calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI, but its religious observance is still permitted. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

Malaysian Muslims warned against Valentine's Day

(AFP) – 2 hours ago

KUALA LUMPUR — As couples around the world ready for Valentine's Day, Islamic officials in Malaysia have warned Muslims against celebrating something "synonymous with vice activities."

The warning follows plans announced last week by several Malaysian states who are planning a crackdown on "immoral acts" during Valentine's Day as part of a campaign to encourage a sin-free lifestyle.

"In reality, as well as historically, the celebration of Valentine's Day is synonymous with vice activities," Wan Mohamad Sheikh Abdul Aziz, head of the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (JAKIM), which oversees the country's Islamic policies, told state media.

"Islam would reject anything, even from the Eastern culture, if it contravenes the Islamic teachings," he added.

Wan Mohamad said a fatwa (ruling) issued by the country's top clerics six years ago noted the day "is associated with elements of Christianity," and "we just cannot get involved with other religion's worshipping rituals."

JAKIM officials will carry out a nationwide 'Mind the Valentine's Day Trap' campaign, he said, aimed at preventing Muslims from celebrating the day.

Nasrudin Hasan Tantawi, head of the Islamic party PAS's youth wing said Wednesday that authorities in the opposition-controlled northern states of Kedah, Penang and Kelantan as well as central Selangor state will also carry out "immorality checks" on February 14.

PAS is part of the opposition alliance that won control of the four states in 2008 elections. Its conservative stance has caused friction with its two partners including the liberal and ethnic Chinese-based Democratic Action Party.

"We have identified spots in these states which are used by lovers and we are deploying local religious department officials as well as party members to stop such sinful acts like casual sex, which violates Islam," he told AFP.

Catholic church leaders say the day, which is named after Christian martyr Saint Valentine, does not have much significance as it was deleted from the church's calendar of saints in 1969.

They say the day is more commonly associated with people expressing their love for each other by sending flowers and chocolates or exchanging greeting cards.

A US spacecraft's long-awaited rendezvous with a comet will finally be realised on Valentine's Day.
The comet explorer Stardust-NExT (New Exploration of Comet Temple 1) will approach the comet Temple 1 at a distance of only 200km at 8.37pm, PST, Feb 14 and Nasa will broadcast the encounter live on Nasa Television and the agency's website from 8.30pm PST.
'Since 2007, Stardust-NExT executed eight flight path correction maneuvers, logged four circuits around the sun and used on Earth gravity assist to meet up with Temple 1,' Nasa said in its statement on Jan 19.
When they meet up, the Stardust-NExT will be able to measure the composition, size, dust properties of the comet and provide information on how Jupiter-family comets evolve and how they formed 4.6 billion year ago, Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory explained in an article. -- KOREA HERALD/ANN
