Or a well-executed plan?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">YB Azmin Ali finally got what he wanted – to be the Menteri
Besar of Selangor. What I am writing now is not based on facts but actually
just a mere hypothesis of what I think could be the work of a genius.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">No, I am not talking about the so-called master strategist
Rafizi Ramli who would now claimed this is all part of Kajang Move. As far as I
can remember, Azmin Ali fell out with Khalid Ibrahim months after the latter
was re-appointed to the hot seat for the second term. Azmin was accused of
playing victim in the PKNS sacking saga and worked from there on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Unlike Rafizi, maybe Azmin played it from the Sultan to the
bottom and now he succeeded in this strategy. The infamous “Agree on MB first
and ask Sultan later” has proved to be the fatal mistake for the Panda MP’s
Kajang Move. The Selangor Sultan has ignored the fact that Azmin is not
Selangor-born and could also be a naturalized citizen of Malaysia, going
against the tradition. In an earlier letter, the palace has admitted they would
need to consider the candidates from outside of the nomination list.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">PKR and DAP sent one sole candidate despite the decree of
the Sultan requesting more than two names. PAS on the other hand, defied its central
committee’s decision to put up Azmin and Wan Azizah (and later Mat Sabu’s rogue
decision to agree on Wan Azizah only) and fielded three PAS assemblymen
instead. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What the PAS President did was the right thing to do – to teach
PKR that PAS is a no donkey party that Anwar Ibrahim could ride on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Anyway, Azmin has always wanted the number 1 post of the
state. An ambitious politician from UMNO, he threatened to “reveal all” right
after Pakatan Rakyat’s defeat of the 13<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> General Election, and of
course, not selected to replace Khalid as Selangor’s Menteri Besar. The “Azmin
reveals” episode ended up in a whimper presumably after Anwar had promised
Azmin the post using “every power he can to oust Khalid”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When Kajang Move was announced, Azmin knew his plan would
work – starting by the removal of the super star Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim.
He kept his cool and gave huge support to Anwar to become the new menteri besar
of Malaysia’s richest state despite his supporters telling him Anwar has
betrayed him of his promise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Azmin is the man Anwar isn’t. He waited and waited and
waited. He reconciled with his mother. He showed his loyalty in front of Anwar,
he knew this day would come.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Assuming he had scored the trust of the Sultan by being
chummy with him even before we know it, he knows he got the money in the bag,
hopefully not the RM3billion Selangor reserve. He knew the Sultan would reject
Anwar Ibrahim even if his sodomy verdict was not overturned. He knew the idea
of a woman who would also be a remote-controlled Menteri Besar to take over the
top post would not go well with the palace.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">He knew all that because he has done his homework. While we
all had our own hypothesis and opinions, we will never know if all this is a
fluke or just a very well executed plan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The interview he had with the Sultan the other day was just
a reassurance. The rest were just an act.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Will the story end here? I personally do not favor Azmin to
be my menteri besar but he is indeed the lesser of two evil between him and
Anwar (not Azizah). Those young back-stabbing politicians who were rooting for
Wan Azizah should now eat their words now if they were to be chummy with the
new menteri besar. This is politics. And it is quite a big shit really. I
wanted Khalid to stay. I am still angry with PAS not taking Khalid as a member
and continue holding the position with grace. Yes. Grace.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Well, good bye Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim. You are without a doubt
the best menteri besar we Selangor people ever had. As for Azmin (who would be
awarded the Datuk Seri title in no time), you really have some big shoes to
fill in the form of your enemy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Or should I say, former enemy?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ini negeri Selangor. Kita ada
undang-undang tubuh negeri. Sultan punyai kuasa mutlak melantik Menteri Besar
Selangor. Adakah Anwar sebenarnya mahu hancurkan Pakatan Rakyat supaya mendapat
kepercayaan UMNO-BN demi mencapai kerajaan campuran bersama, sekaligus menaiki
takhta Perdana Menteri ketujuh selepas Najib?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Seperti mana yang ramai sedia
maklum, baginda Sultan Selangor telah murka dan menganggap PKR dan DAP biadap
dan penderhaka kerana melanggar titah baginda mengemukakan lebih daripada dua
calon untuk jawatan Menteri Besar Selangor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Halangan diraja ini dikatakan
telah dijangka oleh budak Tingkat Empat Istana Segambut namun kenyataan itu cuma
mengundang lebih banyak gelak tawa masyarakat Malaysia terhadap budak mentah,
angkuh dan tidak berkesedaran diri ini. Cerdik atau tidak, pelajar sekolah
rendah darjah satu pun tahu lebih daripada dua bermaksud minima tiga. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Datang pula seorang cerdik pandai
yang kononnya pakar perlembagaan dengan bangga berkata “menderhaka bukanlah
suatu jenayah”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tidak lupa juga yang
menyindir dan menyerang Presiden PAS hanya kerana beliau cerdik daripada mereka,
memahami dan menjunjung perintah tuanku Sultan Selangor setelah mengemukakan
tiga nama bagi calon menteri besar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bukankah Sang Ketua Umum tidak
tahu mengenai konsep raja perlembagaan di negeri Selangor dan Malaysia secara
amnya? Dan mengapa pula DAP boleh terikut-ikut telunjuk Sang Ketua Umum
bagaikan lembu yang dicucuk hidung tentang hal ini? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Adakah kerana mereka fikir sistem
diraja harus dihapuskan dalam masa akan datang seterusnya menjadikan negara
Malaysia negara republik?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">DAP hari ini telah pun meminta
ampun kepada Sultan Selangor dan menuding jari kepada PKR. Jadi, bukankah semua
ini hanya membuang masa dan Serampang Kajang cumalah suatu langkah
menunjuk-nunjuk kuasa Anwar dalam PKR kerana kedegilan Khalid Ibrahim?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Natijahnya, Pakatan Rakyat telah
berpecah-belah tanpa UMNO mengusik mereka sekelumit pun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Atau mungkinkah ada tangan-tangan
UMNO dalam Langkah Kajang?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: Calibri;">With Khir Toyo and Muhammad Muhammad Taib out of the
picture, plus the re-branding of MCA, people of Selangor should ditch Pakatan
Rakyat for their stupid politics and going against the palace.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Is it just me or those involved in destroying the good
Khalid Ibrahim Selangor administration are not even Selangoreans, many are
Singapore-born naturalized citizen of Malaysia? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The chief of the this political fiasco is from Penang who
lives in a “palace” many called as Istana Segambut., Kuala Lumpur.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">His wife that he forced everyone to accept as the new Menteri
Besar was born in Singapore. Even the back-up candidate was Singapore-born.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">His blue-eyed strategist boy, the Panda MP is from
Terengganu. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The secretary general of PKR, the Batak knight who went against
the Sultan of Selangor in his many press statements, defeated badly in a recent
party poll where he couldn’t even pass the sacked Khalid Ibrahim’s numbers, was
also born in Singapore, lived in Kedah, contested the Machang seat in Kelantan
in which he lost last year. Kind of a loser. But brave.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Do these people think that they are the United States of America;
that they can put their nose everywhere around other people’s business? Even if
you are the United States of America, what gives you that right? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Well, this is why the Selangoreans need to teach these non-Selangoreans.
I may be living overseas right now but when I voted last year, I fell under the
Selangor constituency. My birth was registered under "Selangor dan Wilayah Persekutuan" and I have lived most of my life in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We need to teach these people that we respect the Sultan of
Selangor; that the Sultan has the final say in appointing the state Menteri
Besar. PKR MB candidates are Singapore-born, naturalized citizen of Malaysia
and by the Selangor Constitution, they do not even qualify. But the Sultan, has
the right to ignore this and appoint one of them after all but with this kind
of attitude, do you really think the Sultan would listen to you? <i>Orang luar
yang kurang ajar</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When the Sultan decreed at least three names. You give at
least three names. Not one name. Not your wife’s name with different ways of
calling her. Not even two names. Three names.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Maybe it is a new agenda by PKR-DAP (PaKaR biaDAP as I would
like to call them now) to push for Republic State of Malaysia. So, if they win
this tug-of-war, a republic state of Malaysia could be a reality. Are the
Selangor people ready to accept this treason of the highest level?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Maybe it will be a snap-poll in the end. But the Sultan
could still remain adamant for another candidate rather than Wan Azizah but this
is unlikely if Pakatan Rakyat tells the Selangor people Anwar Ibrahim’s wife
will be the Menteri Besar in their campaign. That, if PAS agrees she would be
the sole candidate. Back to square one. Like a loop in an actuarial algorithm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If that happens, the Selangor people must be wise. We want
progress. Khalid delivered this progress. Many stalled developments have
resumed. I can name one – Paradigm Mall but I am sure many others. Selangor has
changed to the better after only 6 years of Khalid’s administration. There are
detractors, but he kept it under control, with the guidance of the Sultan as
well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">With Khir Toyo and Muhammad Muhammad Taib out of the
picture, plus the re-branding of MCA, people of Selangor should ditch Pakatan
Rakyat for their stupid politics and going against the palace, let alone the
rakyat of Selangor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack
Hussein Obama II pernah berkata <i>“There is no short-cut to peace”</i> (tidak
ada jalan pintas untuk keamanan) apabila Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu (PBB)
menganjurkan kenaikan taraf Palestin sebagai ahli pertubuhan itu. Kenaikan ini
sekaligus akan menyebabkan Palestin diterima dunia sebagai sebuah negara yang
berdaulat dan ini ditentang hebat oleh Israel dan kuncunya Amerika Syarikat.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tanggal 17 Ogos 2014. Sebenarnya hari
itu adalah hari yang pahit buat Malaysia. Sama ada rakyat mahu sedar atau
tidak, terpulanglah kepada mereka. Bagi saya, tarikh ini sangat menduka-citakan
sehingga air mata jantan ini menitis mengenangkan perbuatan segelintir pemimpin.
Sudahlah Dato’ Menteri Besar Selangor dikhianati dan dizalimi, PAS yang
kononnya <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>menegakkan keadilan dan
kebenaran atas nama Islam telah gagal dalam ujian integriti yang Allah SWT
telah berikan. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim kini
seorang diri dalam menegakkan yang benar tentang dirinya. Alim ulama berjanggut,
bermisai, berserban yang sebelumnya mempertahankan beliau telah berubah fikiran
dalam masa yang singkat. Hanya kerana Khalid tidak lagi bersama Pakatan Rakyat.
Eh, tidak tahu lagikah? Khalid dibuang parti secara tidak adil kerana tidak
diberi peluang memperjelaskan apa-apa pun. Bukannya dia sendiri yang mahu tinggalkan
Pakatan Rakyat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Saya yang beribu batu jauhnya pun
boleh merasakan betapa ruginya PAS setelah menolak peluang untuk bersatu demi
Islam dan Malaysia. Mungkin ada yang kata saya ini <i>isti’jal </i>(tergesa-gesa)
dalam mahukan keamanan negara melalui kesatuan ummah. Ingat, Obama berkata “there
is no short-cut to peace”. Perkara pertama yang terlintas di fikiran saya
apabila disuruh jangan <i>isti’jal </i>adalah kata-kata Barack Obama yang zalim
terhadap rakyat Palestin ini. Bagi saya, <i>“Peace should be made as a priority
and there is ALWAYS a short-cut to peace”</i> (Keamanan itu adalah utama dan
jalan pintas SENTIASA ada untuk keamanan). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Jadi, apa kena-mengena keputusan
PAS dengan keamanan Malaysia yang saya mahukan? Tidak tahulah bagi anda tetapi
tidak jemukah soal-soal agama dan perkauman dijadikan alat bagi
memecah-belahkan rakyat Malaysia? Tidak pernah-pernah sebelum ini laungan azan masjid
dipersoalkan, lembu dijadikan sembelih korban boleh menjadi kontroversi,
kalimah “Allah” dipolitikkan, masjid, gereja, kuil Hindu dan Buddha dibakar,
kepala lembu dijaja bagi mencabar rakan-rakan beragama Hindu, Ramadhan dipelawa
dengan bak kut teh, pemimpin menyokong umat Islam diberikan kebebasan murtad, yang
berbangsa India dipanggil <i>“Peria”</i>, yang Cina dipanggil babi, yang Melayu
dipanggil orang hutan, agama Kristian dipermain-mainkan, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>kitab bible dijadikan wadah politik, fatwa
tentang perkara yang jelas berbeda-beda dan lain-lain lagi. Saya ini tidaklah
begitu tua tetapi sepengetahuan saya, perkara-perkara ini telah menjadi-jadi apabila
rakyat Malaysia tidak bersatu sejak tahun 2008.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sebelum ini saya ada <a href="http://jeghui.blogspot.com/2014/02/surat-kepada-najib-razak-selepas-pru13.html">menulis</a>
tentang pentingnya umat Islam bersatu supaya rakyat Malaysia bersatu dan
peluang besar ini gagal digenggam oleh PAS. Katanya UMNO itu jahat (PKR tidak
jahat), UMNO itu kafir (DAP tidak kafir), UMNO itu korup (PKR, DAP tidak
korup), UMNO itu mengamalkan kronisme dan nepotisme (PKR, DAP tidak). Ketua
Umum PKR mahukan isterinya jadi Menteri Besar Boneka Selangor dan sanggup
menikam sahabatnya yang saya sendiri akui sebagai menteri besar yang terbaik
Selangor pernah ada. Apa lagi yang tidak jelasnya? <i>Khilaf</i> juga?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Saya tidak setuju dengan
kenyataan beberapa pemimpin yang berbaur perkauman. Umat Islam bersatu tidak
bermakna yang bukan Islam akan dihina, dicerca, dihukum, dianak-tirikan sampai
tidak boleh “angkat muka”. Islam mengikut sejarah yang ada tidak pernah melakukan
diskriminasi berdasarkan agama dan kaum. Yang dicanang oleh penulis Barat
tentang kezaliman negara Islam berkenaan <i>Jizya </i>(cukai kepada yang bukan
Islam) tidak menyebut tentang adanya Zakat (cukai untuk yang beragama Islam).
Nabi Muhammad mengharamkan riba’ kepada penduduk Yahudi dalam negara Islamnya
bukan bermaksud diskriminasi. Agama mereka sendiri mengharamkan riba’! Lagipun
riba’, arak, judi, zina dan liwat adalah perkara-perkara yang tidak baik pun
untuk masyarakat. Sekiranya dalam kehidupan saya, umat Islam Malaysia bersatu
tetapi berlaku tidak adil terhadap yang bukan Islam, saya sendiri yang jelik
dengan menunjuk perasaan ,akan berguling-guling di atas jalan raya membangkang!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Berfikirlah sejenak. Tidak ada
agama yang zalim dan Islam sebenarnya adalah agama yang reformis. Daripada
masyarakat yang jahil, membunuh anak-anak perempuan, menghina kaum wanita,
berzina, berjudi dengan anak panah… Islam hadir tepat pada waktunya dan merubah
kehidupan masyarakat Arab ketika itu dan kini seluruh dunia. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Apa lagi yang pemimpin PAS
tunggu, entah lah. Katanya drama Selangor belum tamat lagi. Boleh pula
mencadangkan pemimpin politikus yang tidak disenangi rakyat Selangor sebagai
pelan B. Katanya Khalid terpaksa pergi demi kestabilan Selangor. Padahal yang
mengkucar-kacirkan Selangor adalah PKR. Katanya tidak perlu tergesa-gesa dalam
menegakkan kebenaran dan selesaikan krisis Selangor. Padahal tahu Sultan tidak
mahukan Wan Azizah sebagai khalifah Selangor. Padahal jika PAS bersama yang
benar, Selangor dan Malaysia dengan izin Allah akan stabil, makmur dan harmoni.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Asalkan jika niat berkerja demi
rakyat. Bukan demi politik. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just when I thought PAS would uphold justice and truth, just when I thought I should open my heart and be "<em>husnuzon</em>" (having good faith) to PAS, they failed in this integrity test given by Allah to simply do the right thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Actually this is what I initially thought, that they would betray Abdul Khalid (to uphold justice and truth) for Pakatan Rakyat, but I shrugged it off, thinking in unity, we should apply <em>husnuzon</em>. Clearly I should have trusted my instinct, rather than hope from the very people I condemned, thinking Muslim unity in Malaysia would finally be materialised.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their excuse? For the sake of Pakatan Rakyat. Abdul Khalid is no longer relevant to Pakatan Rakyat because he is no longer with Pakatan Rakyat. He is no longer the concern of PAS.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They did not ask why Abdul Khalid was sacked? Or if it was really justified that he was sacked? Those allegations, I swear on my grandfather's grave will be swept under the carpet even by the very people who accused Khalid of doing, since he no longer has the support of the majority of the ADUNs - he is doomed as Menteri Besar Selangor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ethical politics, as I would like to call it, is still a long way to go. Don't give me anymore of that Reformashit, or Bershit or PAShit even. Those are just mere lies to allure some of us <em>marhaen</em> idiots, who would not even believe both Mustafa Ali and Anwar Ibrahim were caught in indecent acts in extramarital affairs. Even with evidence! Why is this important? Well, if they could cheat on their wife, they could cheat on us rakyat too. Ask Abdul Khalid. He knows this now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why is it so hard to do the bloody right thing? In case you would like to know why we have hate-crimes, racism, genocides, murders... because we chose the wrong people and these people think politics is above everything including doing what is ethical and right and most of all God. Since you people are the very people who encouraged these monsters, why not we start acting like King makers, not Yes men and women - who would just accept this unethical coup de tat. Didn't many of us voted Pakatan Rakyat in Selangor because of Abdul Khalid's good administration?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Khalid is a good administrator, but not politician. This is politics." This kind of thinking should stop. We need leaders, not politicians - who would do anything to stay in power and mislead the people. Khalid is indeed the best MB we had so far. What did he do wrong? So come the state snap-election, I would like to see people punish PKR. I am not asking to get Khir Toyo back into the government. Just show Pakatan Rakyat we rakyat are not pushovers. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A reduced majority in Selangor would do. Pakatan Rakyat losing Selangor? Better! But you need to back those MCA and MIC people in so that we have a better representation of Selangorians in the State Assembly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
About my preamble? Yes. A united Muslims in Malaysia will bring about a united Malaysia because there won't be anymore racial, religious issues to stoke about. This was already explained <a href="http://jeghui.blogspot.com/2014/02/letter-to-najib-post-ge13-how-to-save.html">here</a>.</div>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify;">
We Selangorians now have an independent Menteri Besar after his sacking from PKR yesterday. Irony. Abdul Khalid Ibrahim was accused of a working “independently”, “not a team player” all this while anyway as he would not listen to de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim when running Selangor. Well, if this is not a good thing, then you are being hypocritical with the way you see others ruling the people by proxy i.e. having a puppet leader.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify;">
Yesterday also marked the fall of Pakatan Rakyat government in Selangor, technically speaking, as the state is run by Khalid Ibrahim and his team of Executive Councilors. Since Abdul Khalid is now party-less, it would be kind of strange for his councilors from PKR and DAP to be working with him, unless these councilors are still supporting him as menteri besar. Or, that they are a bunch of power-hungry politicians who would not relinquish their positions with or without Khald. I am inclined to believe the latter.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify;">
As mentioned in an earlier article, PAS is now in the driving seat in both determining the new Selangor government and the vote of no confidence motion in the assembly, if that would ever happen. PAS are effectively at the crossroads of their own party struggle (<i>perjuangan</i>) with either to stay ethical and honorable or sacrifice a good man for the sake of Pakatan Rakyat, in a marriage of inconvenience with DAP and PKR, against the force of old foes Barisan Nasional. Their decision would simply be the road PAS would take in determining its own future including at national level so they really have to think it through, and quick.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify;">
Abdul Khalid is seeking an audience with the Sultan of Selangor, the person who would eventually be the final decision maker, for his advice. Abdul Khalid would ask the Sultan’s opinion if it would be wise to join PAS and still command the majority of the support. Although the Sultan would not want to be involved in this time and money-wasting politics, he is wise enough to know what he as a Sultan wants. Abdul Khalid checks all the requirements made by Sultan. Someone he can trust, someone who would uphold Islam, someone who would work for the Rakyat and honest in his administration. Although I am not the Sultan and am not speaking on behalf of the Sultan, my sources indicate that the Sultan do not want Wan Azizah as the new menteri besar for many reasons.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify;">
So just a reminder, the Sultan is the ultimate decision maker, with or without vote of confidence.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify;">
Strategically, Abdul Khalid should maintain a good relationship with Sultan and PAS if he were to keep his post as the rightful menteri besar. Losing one of them would be history for Abdul Khalid and a huge tragedy for the ethical, moral, clean and effective administration of Selangor.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify;">
PAS would support Abdul Khalid as the rightful menteri besar, accept him in the party but insist on staying with Pakatan Rakyat. There is nothing DAP and PKR can do about it because they do not own Pakatan Rakyat and Abdul Khalid could be completing his second term after all.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.299999237060547px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: justify;">
As it stands: In the no confidence vote: PAS 15, BN 12, IND 1, DAP 14 and PKR 13</div>

More than a month after Kajang Move was launched, we lost our brothers and
sisters in the MH370 tragedy. Both Reformasi 2.0 and Kajang Move had died down since
until recently the latter was revived.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
As soon as it was resurrected, again we lost our brothers and sisters in
another aviation tragedy, the shooting down of MH17.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
No, Kajang Move did not cause these tragedies. However, it is very important
to note how these power-crazed politicians ignore these national tragedies and
moved forward with their power-lust, unethical agenda. I will mention names.
These people are no other than Anwar Ibrahim with the help of Rafizi Ramli.
PKR's popularity went down in the most hypocritical fashion.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Anwar’s attack on Tun Mahathir back in the 90s used nepotism claim on the
former premier. Now, after failing to wrest Putrajaya from Barisan Nasional in
the 13<sup>th</sup> General Election, he wants to make himself the Menteri
Besar of the richest state of Malaysia. Since his sodomy verdict was overturned
by the Court of Appeal, he has to back his too obedient wife to be the puppet
Menteri Besar, something she admits today of what is exactly going to happen.
His daughter, who is currently facing marital problems, is the Lembah Pantai
MP. If this is not nepotism, then donkeys might actually fly.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Another famous PKR propaganda is “Demi Rakyat” (for the People). For most of
us Selangorians, we know Abdul Khalid Ibrahim is working hard for the people
evidently the RM3 billion pile of cash reserve he accumulated and the recent
concluded water deal in which he thought was fair value, based on his reputable
investment banking skills. Evidently, Kajang Move, in which to remove Khalid is
not the wish of the Rakyat and the tagline Demi Rakyat is not more than just a
big fat lie. In a recent survey by Astro Awani, 62.4% of Rakyat favour Khalid
Ibrahim to retain as Menteri Besar Selangor while Wan Azizah only managed to get
9% for the same post.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
We all thought Kajang Move was just a mere scam to get people’s attention on
Anwar Ibrahim’s sodomy conviction and rejuvenating “Reformasi”. The timing of
the MH370 had somewhat failed Reformasi 2.0 as not many had turned up in its
first gathering at Kajang Stadium. Maybe this is true along until recently,
noticing the support for PKR has gone down, they are going back to their words the
Kajang Move is to remove Khalid, so that people will go “oh, Kajang Move is
really necessary”. Funny though, reviving Kajang Move has not only lose PKR’s
integrity much more but also could spell the breakup of Pakatan.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Kajang Move, where fanboys thought to be made by a genius could even mark
the death of two-party system.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
PAS is now sitting pretty as the Kingmaker of Selangor over this issue.
Should Khalid be expelled from PKR, PAS can conveniently accept him with open
arms, increasing the number of ADUNs to 16, the biggest in the ruling coalition
while retaining the Menteri Besar. This move will infuriate PKR and DAP but PAS
will conveniently say they will still remain with Pakatan Rakyat nonetheless. PKR
or DAP cannot expel PAS from Pakatan Rakyat as there is really no Pakatan
Rakyat under a registered society. Then, this is a dead-end for both Anwar and
Rafizi together with their political career.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, a man with principle, will not resign. If he does, he
will be forgotten as a lame duck who went down without a good fight against immoral
politicians. As the Malay says, “bukan anak jantan”. So PKR might think they can
push for vote of no confidence against Khalid in the State Assembly. With PAS
and Barisan out to defend the man, the vote will not be in their favour; the
possibility the PANDAn MP genius has failed to see.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Barisan might pounce at this opportunity to regain Selangor together with
PAS, Khalid Ibrahim and other Khalid supporters who might also defect. Again,
dead-end for Anwar Ibrahim and Rafizi Ramli.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
The ultimate decision maker for the post, the Sultan of Selangor, will also
oppose the appointment of Wan Azizah as the Menteri Besar, so I was told.
Triple dead-end.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
So, I wonder, what were they trying to do actually apart from showing Anwar
Ibrahim is the boss of PKR? Not Khalid Ibrahim. Not even the President. Thus,
Kajang Move is just a bloody waste of Rakyat’s time and money, really.<o:p></o:p><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One after another, the nation is troubled by controversy in the form of religious, racial and social issues. This worrying trend started none other than since the 2008 General Election which saw the ruling government failing to achieve two thirds of the Parliamentary seats for the first time since 1969. Interesting enough, after 57 years of independence, we are still undecided if we are actually a secular state or an Islamic state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The word "secular" directly means "worldly". As the word suggests, it is a state where religion is separated from any "worldly" affairs. Cunningly, secularism claims to neither rejected nor allying with any religious institution. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I may look or sound like a liberal urbanite from Kuala Lumpur but I feel that we have to stop discussing about issues that would be detrimental to our national unity and harmony. Topics like this should be discussed at the higher leadership level and should not resort to popularity contest via debates. One minister from the same coalition said something which is favourable to most Muslims in Malaysia including myself, while his colleague in a Chinese party lambasted his view on whether Malaysia is indeed a secular country. Barisan leaders should get a grip and control their members from making contradictory statements.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For a layman national like me though, in order to put end to this question, my first thought was what has the Rukun Negara taught us since young? "Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan" is the first of the five Rukun Negara that we all pledge for years, which directly means believing in God. Though I am not sure if Rukun Negara should stand above the Constitution, still it has given us citizens the impression that believing in God is pivotal as Malaysians.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, what about the Syariah Courts and the Syariah judiciary that we have in our Malaysian dual law system? Are they just "for show" or to appear that the Goverment cares for the majority who are Muslims? The Constitution also mentions that Syariah Law is a State matter, which runs parallel with the Federal law system, applicable only to Muslims. So, with this in place, because there is an alignment with the Islamic institution, is Malaysia still a secular state?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most of us Malaysian Muslims believe that we are an Islamic State. Bounded by the State Syariah Law with Hudud to be tabled in the Parliament soon, exponentiated by the impression of Muslims all over the world declaring Malaysia as a model Islamic country had somewhat cemented our belief that Malaysia is an Islamic State. The detractors of this belief should ask if this is the will of the majority, they are actually fighting an uphill battle and could also receive political backlash. The same can be said about Hudud.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You know what? We Muslims are taught to be doing good deeds including in governance and administration only for Allah SWT. So any thought of separating the <em>niat</em> of doing good for Allah SWT with the everyday work and the way of life could also lead to blasphemy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And you wonder why suddenly there is a gush of Islamic standpoints by even the powerful UMNO, who were thought to be against Islamic values before, including Hudud? - The rejection of 1Malaysia concept despite various inclusiveness multi-million riggit efforts. Noteworthy, the ruling Barisan Nasional government was also rejected in the 13th General Election by about 80% of Chinese Malaysians.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, spare your whining.</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Artikel saya sebelum ini yang telah dipaparkan di beberapa media internet dan sosial sungguhnya telah menimbulkan kontroversi di kalangan pembacanya. Ada yang menegur saya terus di Facebook melalui "private message", ada yang sanggup mencari saya di laman sosial itu semata-mata untuk "mengajar" saya, ada yang menyokong pandangan saya, tidak kurang pula ada yang mencaci dan memaki-hamun.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Takkan lah kerana babi orang Islam berbalah? Percayalah, inilah realiti umat Islam di masa kini, khususnya umat Islam Malaysia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alhamdulillah, apapun saya menganggap kejadian ini adalah hikmah bagi mendekatkan diri saya kepada Allah SWT. Di akhir pendebatan saya sempat merakamkan jutaan terima kasih dan menyatakan secara terbuka yang tidak pernah terlintas di hati saya untuk memusuhi, berdendam atau memutuskan silaturrahim dengan para pembaca yang terlibat, walaupun berlainan pendapat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dalam masa yang sama saya juga berkesempatan untuk berbual dengan seorang sahabat yang merupakan seorang pakar kimia. Setakat ini, menurut pandangannya, isu ini masih menemui jalan buntu. Dalam proses istihalah mendapatkan gelatin, walaupun proses itu cuba untuk menyahkan DNA sumber, namun masih tetap ada kesan-kesan DNA sumber (khinzir). Justeru, beliau telah memperingatkan tentang konsep istihlak, bukan sahaja istihalah, di mana "extreme dilution" telah berlaku.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Konsep istihlak bersandarkan kepada suatu kisah pada zaman Rasulullah SAW di mana bangkai haiwan telah jatuh ke dalam satu perigi air. Bangkai haiwan, sepertimana yang diajarkan dalam beberapa surah di dalam Al Quraan, adalah najis. Namun dalam kisah ini, Nabi SAW telah bersabda jika air di dalam perigi itu melebihi sukatan tertentu, maka air itu tetap suci. Konsep istihlak bagaimanapun lebih berkait rapat dengan air. Perkara ini dikukuhkan dengan suatu hadis yang menyatakan bahawa air itu suci dan menyucikan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Seorang sahabat yang lain menegaskan tentang konsep istihalah arak, di mana arak yang haram asalnya adalah daripada anggur (halal) dan arak juga boleh bertukar menjadi cuka (halal). Namun perbandingan ini adalah tidak berkaitan kerana yang menjadikan arak itu haram adalah kerana ia memabukkan dan setiap yang memabukkan, walaupun bilangan kecil atau banyak adalah haram. Apabila diminta untuk memberikan dalil tentang istihalah khinzir, beliau memberitahu saya tentang suatu hadis di mana setiap yang disamak itu suci. Persoalan saya mudah, adakah dengan hadis ini kita boleh menyatakan bahawa daging khinzir yang disamak itu adalah suci untuk dimakan? Cawan yang dijilat anjing itu apabila disamak, akan menjadi suci. Bukan air liur anjing tersebut. Inilah sebenarnya maksud hadis tersebut.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kerajaan Saudi Arabia telah mengambil pandangan di mana gelatin babi tetap haram (Rujuk Al-Fiqh Islamiy tahun 1986). Ini terbukti apabila Saudi Food and Drug Authority baru-baru ini telah mengarahkan beberapa sampel coklat Cadbury dari pasaran Saudi Arabia diuji bagi menentukan jika porsin digunakan. Ini menunjukkan mereka tidak bersetuju dan menolak fatwa oleh European Council for Fatwa and Research yang menyatakan gelatin babi itu halal. Namun, ini tidak bermaksud Saudi Arabia menghina mereka, lebih-lebih lagi Professor Yusuf Al Qardawi. Saya juga tidak menghina beliau dan banyak tulisan beliau yang lain telah menjadi rujukan kepada saya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Surah An-Nisa' ayat 59 telah mengingatkan kita supaya kita taat kepada Allah SWT dan Rasul-Nya. Jika berlaku percanggahan pendapat, Allah menyuruh kita yang benar-benar beriman kembali kepada Allah (Al-Quran) dan Rasul (Sunnahnya - Hadith). Ini adalah yang paling utama bagi kita dan yang lebih baik. Ayat ini jelas menyuruh umat Islam yang beriman bersepakat dalam apa juga permasalahan, bersandarkn kepada Al-Quraan dan Hadith. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tambahan pula menurut satu Hadith, Rasulullah SAW telah bersabda bahawa baginda telah meninggalkan dua perkara yang kita tidak akan sesat asalkan berpegang teguh kepadanya, iaitu Al Quraan dan Sunnah. (Rujuk HR Malik).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lumrah belajar apabila berilmu, maka janganlah angkuh. Apabila berguru, jangan lah taksub. Tidak ada manusia lagi yang bergelar maksum melainkan para rasul. Sesiapa sahaja boleh melakukan kesilapan dan hanya Allah yang Maha Bijaksana, Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Pengampun. Perkara ini penting kerana ini soal Aqidah.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Akhir sekali, kita sebagai umat Islam tidak perlu menggalakkan industri penternakan khinzir dan pemprosesan makanan yang menggunakan khinzir. Ada lagi alternatif yang lebih baik dan keyakinan terhadap makanan akan terus meningkat. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aneh, tatkala masyarakat Barat berlumba-lumba untuk menyediakan makanan yang sesuai untuk golongan vegetarian khususnya dalam coklat dengan logo "V", kita pula bercangkaran mahukan gelatin babi dalam makanan. Mereka juga telah berusaha mencari alternatif gelatin dari babi dengan menggunakan gelatin ikan dan juga hypromellose (yang sesuai untuk vegetarian) dalam pembuatan makanan dan ubat-ubatan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jika ada yang masih terus-menerus mahukan coklat perisa gelatin babi, maaflah, di hari raya nanti saya tidak mampu untuk adakannya untuk anda dan anak-anak.</div>
</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bila bercakap soal khinzir dalam makanan, penulis
teringat tentang suatu ketika dahulu apabila angin London sepoi-sepoi bahasa
membawaku berjumpa dengan seorang kenalan kolej dari masyarakat Tiong Hwa. Kami
bertemu sejak di bangku sekolah di Lembah Beringin lagi dan pertemuan kami di Leytonstone
itu bertujuan merapatkan hubungan yang telah lama terputus. Andrew, mempelawa
aku masuk dan berseloroh memberitahu yang dia sedang masak sesuatu untuk makan
tengahari.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bersangka baik, aku tidak mengesyaki langsung dengan
persoalan jika makanan yang dimasak itu halal. Bagaikan sudah terbaca gerak
hati aku, Andrew berkata yang daging ayam yang dia masak dibeli di kedai “Halal
Butcher” di bawah. Beliau kemudian menambah yang dia sendiri tidak gemar
memasak daging khinzir sendiri di rumah kerana “daging khinzir susah dimasak”.
Aku kekok mendengar pengakuan dia ini tetapi yakin umum diketahui daging
khinzir bahaya jika tidak dimasak dengan sebetulnya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Beberapa minggu dahulu, negara Malaysia telah digemparkan
dengan keputusan analisis yang dibuat oleh Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia
terhadap dua produk Cadbury yang mengandungi kacang. Dua produk tersebut telah
didapati mengandungi porsin, bahan yang berasal dari khinzir. Sampel produk
yang tidak mengandungi kacang tidak mengandungi porsin. Sampel-sampel berkenaan
diambil terus dari kedai.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Cadbury Malaysia telah terus menarik balik kumpulan dua
produk ini dari pasaran tetapi gagal memohon maaf kepada pengguna khususnya
yang haram bagi mereka untuk makan khinzir atau sebahagian daripadanya. Saya
tidak sebut penganut agama Islam secara spesifik kerana vegetarian juga hanya
boleh memakan coklat yang bertanda “V”, - “suitable for vegetarian” dan
lumrahnya mereka juga perlu bangkit dan marah dalam keadaan yang tidak disangka
ini.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Nah, tiba pula sekumpulan NGO Islam yang menunjukkan rasa
tidak puas hati mereka kepada syarikat Cadbury Malaysia, meminta mere bayar
pampasan berates juta ringgit untuk “mencuci darah”. Sehari selepas itu,
seorang ulama dari JAKIM telah disalah-erti oleh segolongan media yang
coklat-coklat tersebut “still halal”. Ramai rakyat Malaysia, seperti biasa,
terus berasa bingung. “Halal ke tidak ni? Kejap halal, kejap tidak!” bentak
seorang.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Saya yang ketika itu berpeluang mengikuti perkembangan
ini terus menerangkan yang ulama itu bermaksud kepada coklat-coklat yang TELAH
dimakan, bukan yang sedia ada yang telah disahkan secara saintifik mengandungi
porsin. Maksud beliau, jika telah makan produk itu, kerana ia sesuatu yang
tidak disengajakan, perbuatan tersebut tidak berdosa dan tidak perlu pun “cuci
darah”, menyanggah kenyataan makcik di dalam video Malaysiakini itu.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Selang beberapa hari, datang pula pihak JAKIM melalui
makmal tersendiri menolak penemuan porsin di dalam dua produk tersebut. Namun
yang peliknya, makmal Kementerian Kesihatan telah dilabel terus oleh seorang menteri sebagai “makmal yang tidak
diiktiraf”. Perkara ini seolah-olah tindakan spontan bagi menyelematkan
kepentingan pihak-pihak tertentu di dalam Cadbury. Namun, rakyat Malaysia
khususnya yang beragama Islam sudah tidak yakin lagi dengan Cadbury. Saya
sendiri akan cuba mengelak daripada membelinya. Mungkin juga berlaku
kontaminasi, mungkin juga tidak. Rakyat Malaysia semakin bingung.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Selang beberapa hari kemudian, muncul pula kenyataan oleh
seorang Syeikh dari Mesir (tetapi dibuang negeri ke Qatar) dan kenyataan ini
disebut sebagai fatwa, yang gelatin babi di dalam makanan halal dimakan. Ulama
ini tersohor dimata rakyat Muslim Malaysia dan dia juga terlibat dalam
menyokong seorang ahli politik pembangkang dengan secara yakinnya menyebut
pemimpin itu sebenarnya difitnah.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bukan
kerana hakikat ini saya menyelar fatwa auta yang telah beliau lakukan
bersama-sama segolongan ulama yang lain berkenaan halalnya gelatin babi dalam
makanan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hanya para nabi merupakan golongan manusia yang bergelar
maksum, di mana perbuatan yang silap ditegur terus oleh Allah S.W.T, melalui
malaikat yang menyampaikannya. Bukanlah para ulama moden mahupun kuno. Betul,
ulama juga dikatakan waris nabi. Tetapi bukankah AL Quraan dan Hadith Sahih itu
wasiat baginda? Jelas yang manusia boleh melakukan kesilapan, termasuklah para
ulama. Dalam perkara ini, ulama dari Mesir itu telah silap, termasuklah yang
menyokongnya, seorang bekas Mufti di Malaysia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Jika kita amati dari surah Al-Maidah ayat ke-3 dan surah
Al-An’am ayat 145, jelas yang khinzir itu haram dimakan. Porsin itu berasal
dari khinzir. Sama ada berubah sifat fizikal atau kimia, ia tetap berasal dari
khinzir. Jadi soalan saya, ada lagikah masyarakat yang beragama Islam di
Malaysia mahu makan makanan yang sebahagiannya berasal dari khinzir? Saya tidak
peduli sebenarnya. Lantaklah jika Melayu itu lumrahnya degil. Yang saya kisah
sekarang ni, para ulama “moden” yang membawa nama Islam, tidak perlu lagi untuk
berkhayal dan memberi “fatwa” tersendiri yang jelasnya bertentangan dengan
Islam. Khilaf kata sesetengah pihak. Tetapi yang jelas di dalam Quraan atau
hadith sahih itu, takkan khilaf juga? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, it has come back after about five years of silence. Hudud has come back to center stage. Why did I say five years? After 2008, Pakatan Rakyat leaders from PKR, PAS and DAP actually believe they could wrest Putrajaya from the ruling coalition of more than 50 years, Barisan Nasional. They need to be more united than ever, and certain compromises had to be done. DAP agreed to be more inclusive of the Bumis and would even go far from mentioning that the rights of the Bumis will be abolished. PAS, will restrain from making over-zealous comments and the holier-than-thou attitude was shunned "indefinitely" by bringing slogans to portray as if "PAS is for All". "Negara Islam" was then changed to "Negara Kebajikan". PAS did not even push for Hudud to be in the "Buku Jingga", the long-term masterplan of the administration of Pakatan Rakyat Federal Government should they come to power. Meanwhile PKR, would just stay as they are. Multi-racial, holding up the Constitution. Whoring supports through lies and controversies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the Chinese Tsunami failed to clinch Putrajaya but gave DAP a commanding 38 Parliamentary seats, it sent jitters to their ally PAS who saw many seats in Kelantan being taken away and their Parliamentary seats reduced. Fear that they might gone overboard by overlooking the grassroots supporters who are mostly pious Muslims, the compromises made during that five years did not seem to be pooling dividends. Alas, PAS is back with their Islamic rhetoric only a year after the 13th General Election.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a Muslim, I am not denying Hudud, at any cost. Who am I to question the Almighty and what is the use of living in this world if there is no God? I would not say that I am the best of Ustazs but maybe this piece is simply to remind the Non-Muslims in Malaysia what we Muslims, who are the majority in the Malaysian population, believe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We believe that the word "Allah" is exclusive to us Malaysian Muslims. Since the question of language plays a role, we do not feel the Non-Muslims in Malaysia should use this word freely because you guys are not even Arabic speakers. Even the Christian Arabs mostly use "Ar-Rab" in the Bibles. The complication that we have is the Christian community in Sabah and Sarawak have been using the Indonesian version Bibles where the word "Allah" is referred to what they believe as their God. Since it doesn't look to be easy to take this away from the Sabah and Sarawak Christian community, it is decided by the Government to just let it be. Status quo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We also believe in Hudud, as commanded by Allah. I know the Non-Muslims in Malaysia fear that they would have their hands chopped off for giving bribery or receive death by stoning for keeping a mistress in one of those studios, SOHOs, SOFOs in the Klang Valley but as far as I know, when you talk about the Malaysian context, the separation of laws between Shariah law (which is a State matter under the Constitution) and the secular (criminal and civil) law would see the Non-Muslims being free of the Shariah law.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, it is not as simple as that. The punishment for crimes are very different in both laws. For example, what would a Non-Muslim man gets if he was caught of <em>khalwat</em> ? (close proximity, or in my own words, caught pants down, literally). The thing is though, I do not see Hudud as a law to punish people but more of a preventive law. You should also know that Hudud promotes forgiveness and if the criminal was forgiven by the victim's family, he or she is spared from the punishment. But of course some of you did not know this before because all that was playing in your head is to be Islamophobic, prejudiced, ticking Islam at any chance you get, racist and so on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lets go back to the example of khalwat above, or lets make it up by one more level - adultery. Adultery is an act of extramarital sex and is seen to be the mother of all sins to you women out there, especially the feminists. Logically speaking, feminists of all people should be supporting hudud like diehard fans! Funny though most of the protestors across the Beverly Hills Hotel featuring Jay Leno had the sign "Feminists are the Majority", boycotting the Sultan of Brunei for implementing hudud in the country he rule. According to the holy book Al-Quraan, the punishment for adultery is death by stoning. Dear feminists, Yay or Nay? That's why I have said this before that feminists do not really know what they want. To me, feminists are also extremists. Islam meanwhile, promotes moderation (<em>wasatiyyah</em>).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Death by stoning is extreme, not moderation you say? Like I said earlier, Shariah Law is more of a preventive law rather than punishing. In the case of a Non-Muslim dude committing adultery with someone's wife (which again, the biggest sin to the feminists), under Hudud, this actually will not happen at the first place! That someone's wife know about the repercussion, the risk of doing it with this guy. SHE COULD BE STONED TO DEATH! What horror, seconds later that necessary fear starts sinking in and it is actually fear of God that comes to play (And yes we Muslims should fear God). So she would just keep calm and reject the baldy hunk and straight away seek fasakh (divorce initiated by the wife) from the wrong man she married.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By the way. it has also come to my attention that Hudud is actually in the Bible as well especially the stoning as above, but linked to more sins. Since I am not a Christian and Islam taught me to respect other religions, I will leave it to my Christian brothers and sisters of the following interpretations from the Bible:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Stoning-to-Death/">http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Stoning-to-Death/</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the politicians started bashing PAS for wanting to table the Hudud plan for Kelantan, they actually forgot (or ignorant) about the fact that we Muslims believe in Hudud. Fearing loss of support from the Muslims, it is only politically correct that PAS has to come back with their Hudud stance and feeling disappointed after being rejected by the Chinese, UMNO shows a silent support. Sad enough, the next Parliamentary seating could even blow up the sides into Muslims and Non-Muslims because of Hudud. It was truly a fatal mistake for the Non-Muslims especially the Chinese to reject the winning coalition in General Election 13. As we speak, there is no Chinese representative (MCA) in the Cabinet but so many in the Opposition through DAP. The constant bashing of Muslims by Christian or Non-Muslims NGOs (most recently the UiTM alleged "Anti-Christian" talk) certainly do not help. The Muslims might seem stupid or pleasant people but silently they realise they are losing if they are not united, at least for UMNO and PAS leaders.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PM Najib Razak might afterall give freedom to any member of the BN component parties to reject, approve or abstain from voting when the Hudud Bill for Kelantan is tabled. Traditionally, Barisan Nasional would find a consensus from the component parties and to vote yes or no, like how it happened in the GST Bill. However, he is indeed a politician through and through, having set foot into the political scene at a tender age of 23. He was the first to coin the words "Chinese Tsunami" right after the General Election 13 result was announced. Like PAS, he was pushed back to reality that Malaysians are too divided to be united thanks to the dividing education system (vernacular schools expecially) and economic racial disparity. Announcing this freedom, he is playing a huge gamble but might hit the lottery gaining the support of the Muslims majority. If Hudud for Kelantan is passed, there would even be a huge call to invite PAS into the Barisan Nasional coalition, making it stronger, to the expense of the Non-Muslims' (especially the Chinese) already shrinking representatives in the Government.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just like Hudud in the example of whether that someone's wife would sleep with anyone else, Hudud would have not been tabled in the Parliament should there was no such Chinese Tsunami. The Chinese are indirectly the proponents of Hudud. With a strong MCA in the Government, Hudud issue would just come and go, like in 2004. Power sharing or not, the minorities need strong representatives in a ruling Government.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, there you have it. You were the ones who voted and now you have to bear the consequences. This is not permanent though, if you vote again wisely come the 14th General Election.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Surat kepada Najib Razak
selepas PRU 13 – Bagaimana untuk Selamatkan Malaysia?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Surat ini telah dihantar
kepada Perdana Menteri Najib Razak melalui emailnya </span><a href="mailto:info@1malaysia.com.my"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">info@1malaysia.com.my</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> sejurus selepas
Pilihanraya Umum ke 13. Saya yakin dia tidak membacanya kerana lihatlah apa
yang berlaku di Malaysia sekarang. Surat asal ditulis dalam Bahasa Inggeris
tetapi penulis tertarik untuk menulisnya kembali dalam Bahasa Malaysia. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Kehadapan Perdana Menteri
Malaysia yang dicintai,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tahniah kerana memenangi
pilihanraya yang ke 13 yang ternyata sengit. Saya tak menyangka yang anda
terperanjat dengan keputusan tersebut tetapi bagi saya, ia telah pun dijangkakan.
Barisan Nasional bertarung dengan persepsi di mana mereka akan kalah kali ini
atas sebab kekalahan banyak kerusi ketika Pilihanraya Umum ke 12 pada tahun
2008. Kononnya beberapa pihak di bandar mahukan sistem dua parti dalam politik
Malaysia tetapi jelas ia menunjukkan keputusan pilihanraya dua bangsa.
Sebagaimana yang anda sebutkan, “Tsunami Bangsa Cina” telah melanda Malaysia.
Sebagai rakyat Malaysia, ini sangatlah merungsingkan bagi saya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Jelas program 1Malaysia yang anda
pelopori telah gagal. Saya telah dengar banyak kali Bukan Bumiputera meletakkan
“1Malaysia” sebagai suatu omong-omong kosong. Realitinya, bangsa Cina Malaysia
telah lama rasa terpinggir kerana polisi negara yang kononnya memihak kepada golongan
Bumiputera. Walaubagaimanapun, saya tetap lihat ekonomi Malaysia dipegang oleh
bangsa Cina.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Usaha keras anda untuk memenangi
hati masyarakat Cina telah dibalas dengan undi kepada Pakatan Rakyat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Usaha itu sebenarnya suatu yang boleh dipuji
tetapi realitinya, sentimen perkauman masih menang! Strategi teratur dan
bersembunyi di sebalik slogan “memerangi rasuah, kronisme dan nepotisme”,
mereka telah melancarkan serangan saraf dengan memburukkan institusi Bumiputera
seperti UiTM, MARA, syarikat-syarikat kerajaan, RELA, UMNO, PERKASA adalah
sangat jelas ditunjukkan khususnya daripada DAP. Ini sebenarnya adalah serangan
hendap terhadap polisi-polisi kerajaan membantu golongan Bumiputera yang
rata-ratanya masih mundur. Tambahan pula, bumiputera kini yang berpecah-belah
memudahkan lagi masyarakat bukan Bumiputra untuk meraih kemenangan dalam PRU13.
“Ini kalilah!” kata mereka. Apabila bumiputera dan Melayu khusunya berpecah
dua, mereka sangka boleh menggulingkan kerajaan Barisan Nasional.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hakikatnya, anda kini mengalami
keadaan yang sama ketika ayahanda Tun Razak mengambil alih tugas Perdana
Menteri pada tahun 1970 setelah berlakunya peperangan saudara pada 13 Mei 1969.
DAP dan GERAKAN yang majoritinya diikuti bangsa Cina telah melakukan kesilapan
besar dengan meraikan kemenangan banyak kerusi pada pilihanraya tahun itu di
jalanan termasuk di Kampung Baru. Menjadikan Syed Hussein Al-Attas, seorang
Melayu liberal sebagai kuda hitam, Gerakan dan DAP telah memenangi banyak
kerusi di kawasan-kawasan yang majoritinya Cina. Peperangan 13 Mei akan
sentiasa menghantui negara Malaysia. DAP yang memenangi kesemua kerusi kawasan
dimana 30% atau lebih adalah masyarakat Cina (kecuali Labis) kini bijak dengan
tidak melakukan kesilapan mereka pada tahun 1969. Pakatan Rakyat akan
mengeluarkan statistik yang Barisan Nasional kalah undi masyarakat bandar di
mana pakar statistik ini haruslah orang Melayu. Hakikatnya, masyarakat Cina memanglah
pengundi di bandar! Bijak? Bagi saya yang hanya berumur 30 tahun ini adalah
sangat dijangkakan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Jadi, apakah jalan
penyelesaiannya untuk mencapai kesatuan nasional? Saya pelik bila ada orang
cakap Malaysia dah jadi negara “Dua Malaysia” (Bumiputera, bukan Bumiputera). Perkara
ini telah lama berlaku sejak zaman berzaman. Ia menjadi lebih teruk lagi
apabila Barisan Nasional tetap memberi sokongan dan wang untuk membina lebih
banyak lagi sekolah jenis kebangsaan Cina untuk meraih cinta masyarakat Cina.
Ini sebenarnya adalah kesalahan yang sangat teruk. Malaysia Cuma memerlukan
satu sekolah kebangsaan. Saya tahu mereka mempunyai hak untuk belajar di
Sekolah Cina di peringkat rendah, tetapi sekolah menengah jenis kebangsaan Cina
juga telah diberi bantuan berpuluh juta. Sampai bila rakyat akan
dipecah-belahkan mengikut kaum melalui sistem persekolahan?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Anda sebenarnya mempunyai pilihan
untuk menyelamatkan Malaysia, termasuklah kerjaya politik anda. Pintu jalan
yang pertama, yang berwarna hijau, adalah dengan menjemput PAS berjuang bersama
Barisan Nasional, memberikan mereka jawatan Timbalan Perdana Menteri II,
melantik mereka mengepalai tugas-tugas ketelusan dan pencegahan rasuah, memberi
ruang yang besar kepada para ulama dalam hal agama Islam (bukan setakat
terpekik terlolong soal hudud) dan lain-lain. Ya, mereka telah kalah banyak
kerusi berbanding 2008 (kerana orang Islam berpecah-belah) tetapi anda tidak
boleh memandang rendah kekuatan jentera di peringkat bawah mereka. Nik Aziz
telah pun bersara di arena politik kerana uzur. Ini sepatutnya memberikan anda
peluang yang baik untuk berbincang dengan Presiden PAS Hadi Awang supaya orang
Islam di Malaysia dapat bersatu akhirnya. “Bersatu teguh, bercerai roboh”. Ini
tak bermaksud kita mesti hokum masyarakat Cina kerana menolak Barisan Nasional
termasuk Ghani Othman dan Ali Rustam (yang terkenal dengan memberi bantuan tak
terhingga kepada masyarakat Cina). Apabila kita sebagai orang Islam yang
bersatu dan memberi contoh tauladan yang baik, masyarakat Cina akan mengakui
yang tiada harapan lagi untuk memenangi Piliharaya Umum dengan sokongan mereka
seorang sahaja. Tiada lagi “Ini Kali Lah” kerana orang Islam dan Bumiputera
telah bersatu. Masyarakat Cina hakikatnya memegang ekonomi negara sebanyak hampir
75%. Mereka juga tahu pegangan ekonomi mereka akan terjejas jika arena politik
tanahair tidak stabil. Asalkan Malaysia terus berkembang maju, walaupun tahu
politik milik Sang majority (Bumiputera), saya yakin Malaysia akan selamat di
bawah pemerintahan Barisan Nasional-PAS.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Atau, anda boleh ambil pintu jalan yang kedua,
iaitu yang berwarna merah, dengan mengajak DAP untuk memasuki Barisan Nasional
supaya ada wakil daripada pihak Bukan Bumiputera. Kalau nak cuba bolehlah
tetapi saya tak yakin ini boleh menjadi kenyataan. Jika berlaku pun, ini bukan
yang pertama kali di mana Gerakan telah menyertai Parti Perikatan. Lihatlah apa
yang berlaku kepada Gerakan kini. Hidup segan mati tak mahu. Dengan DAP bersama
Barisan Nasional, anda boleh terus memecah-belahkan negara dengan memberi segala
bantuan kepada sekolah jenis kebangsaan Cina melalui Dong Zhong (dan tetap
dikhianati kemudiannya). Anda juga boleh terus memberi makan malam besar-besaran
secara percuma dan juga menerbangkan penyanyi K-Pop dari Korea bagi meraih “sahutan”
dan sokongan padu rakyat Tiong Hwa. “Are you ready for Psy??? Yes! Are you
ready for BN??? NOOOOOOOO!!!” Begitulah keadaan sebenarnya anda berilah
segala-galanya kepada mereka dan mereka tetap akan sokong Pakatan Rakyat kerana
sentimen perkauman yang telah terbuku di hati mereka yang diterapkan secara
halus oleh Pakatan Rakyat khususnya DAP. Anda juga telah diherdik dan dimaki
apabila berada di pentas dengan perkataan “boo”. Boo panjang, boo pendek
segalanya pun ada. Cukup lengkap dan padat sokongan mereka terhadap anda.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Jadi bagaimana sebenarnya untuk
menyelamatkan Malaysia? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Politik - Anda ambil jalan yang
berwarna hijau di atas. Betul, masyarakat Cina akan naik angin dan ini ditambah
pula dengan kegagalan untuk memenangi pilihanraya yang 13 ini. Mereka telah
ditipu oleh DAP yang mereka boleh memenangi pilihanraya di peringkat
persekutuan dan akhirnya dapat melupuskan polisi-polisi kerajaan yang kononnya
menyebelahi Bumiputera Malaysia. Anda sebenarnya terlupa yang undi Bumiputra dan
umat Islam lah yang <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>anda patut jaga. Ada
di antara kami yang telah pun terkilan dengan tindak-tanduk anda yang nampak
sangat jelasnya melebihkan masyarakat Cina. Jika anda pilih jalan merah, sekelompok
besar masyarakat Bumiputera akan terus-menerus menyokong Datuk Seri Anwar
Ibrahim. Ya, mungkin kini Anwar tampak yang dia sangat liberal dan disokong
Cina kerana dikatakan harapan baru untuk mempupuskan agenda Bumiputera. Tetapi
bukanlah anda sendiri tahu yang Anwar ini bagaikan sesumpah, melalukan apa
sahaja untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia. Bukankah dia mengepalai ABIM
menentang UMNO dan membawa perwatakan yang warak, sejajar dengan revolusi Islam
di Iran pada ketika itu? Dan kini sangat liberal pula. Perkataan “Allah” boleh
dipermainkan begitu sahaja di gereja-gereja. Jika jalan merah diambil, Anwar
boleh jadi kembali “alim” dan membawa majority Rakyat Malaysia yang khususnya
orang Islam dan Bumiputera Malaysia. Dengan jalan hijau, anda boleh berbincang
dengan wakil MCA dan Gerakan yang beberapa polisi sedia ada yang sebenarnya
tidak menguntungkan Bumiputera miskin pun - ditarik! Contohnya, diskaun
Bumiputera untuk rumah baru yang berharga RM 800,000 ke atas boleh lah
dilupuskan. Hal ini jelasnya cuma menguntungkan Bumiputera yang kaya raya
padahal polisi yang baik sebenarnya adalah membantu kesemua rakyat yang miskin
yang rata-ratanya kini orang Bumiputera. Seterusnya, walaupun sekarang ini
kuota Bumiputera masih ada, para pemaju disarankan tidak perlu menyuarakan
secara jelas yang adanya kuota ini. Pemaju sebenarnya boleh memberitahu bilangan
unit sebenar yang dibuka kepada rakyat Malaysia, tidak mengira kaum di dalam
suatu cabutan “new launch balloting”. Katakanlah 30% diberikan kepada
Bumiputera, sepatutnya bukalah 70% sahaja. Jika bumiputera itu mendapat cabutan,
orang awam akan dapat peluang lagi asalkan minimum 30% dapat dicapai oleh
Bumiputera. Saya ada di sana ketika cabutan untuk memiliki sebuah rumah di
Bandar Rimbayu dijalankan. Saya telah dimaki di dalam bahasa Hokkien dan
Mandarin kerana pemaju itu telah mengisytiharkan unit rumah telah habis dibeli
dan lain-lainnya adalah untuk Bumiputera. Mereka di sekeliling saya yang 95%
nya masyarakat Cina telah menarik muka benci terhadap kami tujuh orang Melayu
di situ. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yang hadir beribu-ribu. Anda
tidak akan faham perasaan kami sebagai rakyat biasa kerana anda tidak akan
mengalaminya sendiri. Masyarakat Cina di sekeliling anda tidak akan tunjuk rasa
benci terhadap anda sebab bukankah anda ini Perdana Menteri? Maaf jika saya
terus-menerus memberi komen berkenaan polisi hartanah kerana saya terlibat
dalam pelaburan secara kecil-kecilan dalam sektor ini.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Jika PAS bersetuju untuk
memajukan negara dan menaikkan martabat Islam di Malaysia bersama-sama Barisan
Nasional, mereka tidak perlu pun menjadi “naungan” UMNO atau Barisan Nasional.
PAS boleh membantu Barisan Nasional dengan bentuk suatu kerajaan campuran. Jika
niat kita baik, PAS sendiri akan menyertai Barisan Nasional dengan hati terbuka
tetapi biarlah mereka memberi pendapat mereka sendiri, secara bebas dan merdeka.
PAS bukanlah suatu parti yang teruk pun mungkin ada di antara mereka, khususnya
yang berumur masih tidak dapat memaafkan UMNO yang kononnya mengkhianati mereka
tidak lama dahulu. Buktikan yang BN kini berbeza. Niat sebenar hanyalah untuk memajukan
negara sejajar dengan menaikkan syiar Islam. Buktikan kepada yang bukan Islam
yang Islam itu agama yang baik dan untuk semua. Jika Anwar ingin melawan
BN-PAS, biarkan! Lambat laun rakyat termasuk yang bukan Islam akan sedar apa
sebenarnya Islam itu dan mereka akan meninggalkan politik cauvinis dan
perkauman DAP dan sama-sama bekerja demi mencapai status negara yang membangun
dan maju. Saya beri contoh mudah sahaja, mengikut statistik, makin hari makin
banyak masyarakat cerdik pintar Cina memilih untuk mendapatkan perkhidmatan
kewangan Islam dalam bentuk Takaful mahupun pinjaman perumahan “Musyarakah
Mutanaqisah” kerana kedua-duanya lebih adil daripada konvensional. Masyarakat
Cina khususnya yang muda-muda, tidak pernah bertemu rakan-rakan selain Cina
akhirnya akan sedar yang mereka tidak boleh menang jika terus dengan cara rasis
dan cauvinis DAP.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Pendidikan – ini harus dilakukan
secara berperingkat-peringkat. Sudah-sudahlah tu memerintah Malaysia dengan
memecah-belahkan rakyat! Memecah-belahkan dari peringkat kecil pula tu. Saya
berumur 11 tahun ketika apabila saya mengikuti Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan St.
Francis Institution (SFI), Melaka. Kami cuma bertiga orang Melayu di dalam
kelas pertama Darjah 5 Merah! Sekolah ini bukanlah sekolah jenis kebangsaan
tetapi kualiti pemelajaran adalah sangat baik. Saya fikir sebab itulah
masyarakat Cina bersama SFI. Sekolah Cina ketika itu kami herdik dan ejek. “Kami”
di sini termasuk rakan-rakan Cina saya satu sekolah. Di sini kami tanamkan
sifat hormat-menghormati. Tidak pernah saya dibuli kerana warna kulit saya atau
kerana saya ini golongan minoriti Bumiputera yang dibenci. Walaupun saya pernah
terdengar seorang Cina menyebut “saya tidak akan kahwin dengan perempuan Melayu
walaupun dia cantik kerana saya taknak dipaksa masuk Islam”, kes ini sangat
terpencil dan beliau yang menyebut begini kini telah jadi seorang yang sangat
anti-Bumiputera-Islam. Yang lain-lain kini biasa-biasa sahaja, tidaklah begitu
melampau sepertinya. Saya tidak lupa episod kehidupan saya di SFI. Banyak
perkara yang saya pelajari tentang toleransi kaum. Saya mengajar mereka Bahasa
Malaysia walaupun tidak perlu pun kerana yang Baba Nyonya boleh jadi lebih
pandai Bahasa daripada saya! Mereka pula akan mengajar saya Bahasa Inggeris di
mana ketika itu saya tersangatlah hampas (hampeh). Saya percaya <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ketika itu, orang Cina sayang Tun Mahathir
Mohamad, Perdana Menteri pada ketika itu. Ingat tak, Tun M dan Barisan Nasional
telah diselamatkan oleh masyarakat Cina padahal ketika itu Orang Melayu ramai
menyokong Anwar Ibrahim. Orang Cina menjadi celik yang mereka memerlukan
kestabilan politik dan kemajuan negara. Jadi, apa yang berlaku kepada orang
Cina sekarang? Ini bukanlah suatu kebetulan yang sejak BN menghabiskan berates-ratus
juta ringgit untuk membina Sekolah Cina, makin ramai lagi orang Cina menolak
BN. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Gejala jijik rasuah – untuk meyakinkan
rakyat, jika PAS bersetuju menyertai kerajaan campuran dengan BN, merekalah
yang sepatutnya mengepalai inisiatif membanteras rasuah ini. Rasuah ternyata
haram dalam Islam. Sesiapa yang mengamalkan rasuah di dalam Barisan Nasional haruslah
berhenti melakukannya dan bertaubat. Berapa juta lagi yang mereka nak? Tidak
cukupkah anak isteri sihat bahagia dan berjaya? Saya tidak akan sebut nama-nama
yang saya tahu jelas korup tetapi sudah-sudahlah memperagakan harta rakyat
kepada umum seolah-olah ayahanda mereka yang punya! Hidup berserdahana. Jadilah
contoh yang baik kepada rakyat. Hidup di dunia ini hanyalah sementara, tak
boleh bawak masuk kubur pun kemewahan dunia ini. Tetapi nama anda boleh ditempa
sebagai Perdana Menteri yang terulung kepada Rakyat Malaysia. Tidak perlu
tunggu isteri anda memuji-muji memanggil anda “Pemimpin Anugerah Tuhan”. Rakyat
sendiri akan nampak kehebatan anda sebagai pemimpin yang adil dan baik kepada
negara. Di negara-negara Islam Timur Tengah ini hampir kesemuanya kenal
Mahathir Mohammad sebagai Perdana Menteri Malaysia. Mereka tidak kenal Abdullah
Badawi malah Najib Razak pun jauh sekali. Tun Dr. M sendiri tidak dapat memajukan
masyarakat Bumiputera dan ini diperakui olehnya sendiri. Jadi, anda sebenarnya
mempunyai peluang besar untuk menyaingi kehebatan Tun Dr. M sebagai pemimpin
yang terbilang (bukan gemilang temberang seperti sebelum ini). Dengan
berakhirnya rasuah, Pembangkang tidak aka nada lagi modal untuk memburukkan
Barisan. Malah, tidak ada lagi asebab untuk menolak Barisan jika segalanya teratur,
adil dan berjaya. Tiadanya rasuah, rakyat tidak akan mencari-cari masalah lagi
dalam Kerajaan Malaysia. Laporan audit negara tidak ada lagi harga-harga yang
tinggi melambung sebagai contohnya tukul besi berharga RM100. Isu-isu barangan
Malaysia tidak berkualiti tidak akan ada lagi kerana Rakyat kembali mencintai
negara yang dipimpin oleh seorang yang disegani. Rakyat akan menjadi bangga
sebagai rakyat Malaysia. Hancur rasuah, hebatlah Malaysia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Memerangi jenayah – mungkin pihak
Kementerian Dalam Negeri ada mengeluarkan statistik yang masalah jenayah telah kurang.
Hakikatnya, gejala social dan jenayah telah membengkak di Malaysia. Rakyat
tidak lagi berasa selamat di mana kes tembak-menembak pula menjadi perkara
biasa. Saya kini menetap di Saudi Arabia dan saya berasa selamat di sini. Undang-undang
Syariah dilaksanakan di sini termasuklah hukuman hudud. Disebabkan saya telah
menganjurkan anda mengajak PAS bersama-sama mengetuai negara, saya juga tidak
rasa mereka akan bersungguh-sungguh melaksanakan hudud. Hudud hanyalah
permainan retorik PAS bagi memenangi hati orang Islam. Tahukah anda soal hudud
tidak ada dalam Buku Jingga Pakatan Rakyat. PAS bersama Barisan akan meyakinkan
perkataan “hudud” ini tidak digunakan tetapi dilaksanakan dengan memastikan
hukuman jenayah menjadi lebih berat. 10 tahun penjara adalah hukuman manusia
bagi kesalahan merogol. Ini tidak adil dan seolah-olah memberi peluang manusia
merogol dan terus hidup di penjara di mana makan dan minum dibayar oleh Rakyat!
Allah tidak pernah kata kita wajib melabelkan hukuman jenayah dengan perkataan “Hudud”.
Boleh saja melalui sistem yang dibaik-pulih dengan elemen syariah, hukuman
jenayah boleh lagi ditingkatkan kepada yang lebih berat. Ada yang bebas
melalukan zina dengan budak bawah umur (statutory rape) dan melalui sistem
pengadilan kini, lelaki itu boleh pula dibebaskan! Jika hukuman itu berat,
tidak ada lagi yang berani untuk melakukan jenayah. Hukum Allah sebenarnya
untuk mengelakkan manusia berbuat jahat. Bukan untuk menghukum sebenarnya. (“Prevention”
as opposed to “Punishment”)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Akhir sekali, melawan tohmahan
dan fitnah di alam siber – isteri anda pun tidak terkecuali dalam hal ini.
Malah, rakyat semakin berani mengejek isteri anda di khayalak ramai. Barisan
sebenarnya perlu ada suatu portal yang cepat menjawab fitnah-fitnah di laman
web, laman sosial, video serta media alternatif. Lupakan cara melalui akhbar dan
media sedia ada termasuk Utusan dan TV3 yang mana jelas sangat bersama Barisan
Nasional walaupun pura-pura adil. Lebih baik adakah suatu portal interaktif
yang dari awal lagi mengaku menyebelahi Barisan secara terang-terangan. Segala
jawapan haruslah berdasarkan kebenaran dan hanyalah kebenaran. Bukanlah jawapan
politik ala Pakatan. Fakta, bukan auta, perlulah dipastikan sebelum dikemukakan
kepada umum. Polis Diraja Malaysia boleh membantu dalam hal ini bagi menegakkan
kebenaran, bukan disalah-gunakan. Sebagai contoh, pihak Pembangkang telah
menuduh kerajaan membawa berpuluh-ribu warga Bangladesh untuk mengundi BN.
Perkara ini telah dimainkan di corong-corong media alternatif sampai ada yang
percaya. (termasuklah fitnah cincin RM24 juta isteri anda). Sehinggakan Malaysia
ini dihina sebagai Banglasia oleh Anwar dan pengikutnya. Macam lah Anwar tak
boleh gunakan China Dolls untuk meraih undi Cina jika dia memerintah. (Jangan
nak memandai bawak masuk pelacur Cina dan suruh mereka undi BN pula!). Pemimpin
Barisan haruslah berubah mengikut peredaran zaman, mengikut rentak masakini.
Cara lama dah tidak boleh pakai dah. Kata nak suruh rakyat celik IT dalam dunia
siber ini. Tak perlu pun bayar bloggers pro-UMNO yang mengharapkan balasan duit
juta-juta. Dapatkan suatu pasukan cukup menyatakan perkara yang benar. Bukan
fitnah dan tohmahan!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Saya tertarik dengan tweet yang dibaca di 'timeline' saya baru-baru ini apabila seorang saudara Islam dari Malaysia menegaskan bahawa Amanah Saham Bumiputra itu haram, dengan tweetnya semuanya berhuruf besar. Saya bersyukur rakyat Malaysia masih mahu menjaga halal dan haram walaupun beberapa 'public figure' seperti artis "diva pujaan" mahupun pemimpin "agung anugerah Tuhan" tidak memberi contoh yang baik kepada masyarakat. Soal makanan khususnya sangatlah dititik-berat oleh masyarakat Muslim Malaysia di mana pihak restoran disarankan meletakkan sijil halal bagi meyakinkan mereka ini, sehinggakan air mineral dan ubat gigi juga disuruh letak logo halal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sebelum kita berbincang, mari kita lihat dalil-dalil pengharaman riba' oleh Allah S.W.T. kerana itulah sebaik-baiknya:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>"dan disebabkan mereka memakan riba, padahal sesungguhnya mereka telah dilarang
daripadanya, dan kerana mereka memakan harta benda orang dengan jalan yang
batil. Kami telah menyediakan untuk orang-orang yang kafir di antara mereka itu
siksa yang pedih."</em> - An-Nisa' 161</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>"Orang-orang yang makan (mengambil) riba tidak dapat berdiri melainkan seperti
berdirinya orang yang kerasukan syaitan.
Keadaan mereka yang demikian itu, adalah disebabkan mereka berkata
(berpendapat), sesungguhnya jual beli itu sama dengan riba, padahal Allah telah
menghalalkan jual beli dan mengharamkan riba. Orang-orang yang telah sampai
kepadanya larangan dari Tuhannya, lalu terus berhenti (dari mengambil riba),
maka baginya apa yang telah diambilnya dahulu (sebelum datang larangan); dan
urusannya (terserah) kepada Allah. Orang yang kembali (mengambil riba), maka
orang itu adalah penghuni-penghuni neraka; mereka kekal di dalamnya"</em> - Al-Baqarah 275</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>"Allah susutkan (kebaikan harta yang dijalankan dengan mengambil) riba dan Ia pula mengembangkan (berkat harta yang dikeluarkan) sedekah-sedekah dan zakatnya. Dan Allah tidak suka kepada tiap-tiap orang yang kekal terus dalam kekufuran, dan selalu melakukan dosa. Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang beriman dan beramal soleh, dan mengerjakan sembahyang serta memberikan zakat, mereka beroleh pahala di sisi Tuhan mereka, dan tidak ada kebimbangan (dari berlakunya sesuatu yang tidak baik) terhadap mereka, dan mereka pula tidak akan berdukacita. Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Bertaqwalah kamu kepada Allah dan tinggalkanlah (jangan menuntut lagi) saki baki riba (yang masih ada pada orang yang berhutang) itu, jika benar kamu orang- orang yang beriman. Oleh itu, kalau kamu tidak juga melakukan (perintah mengenai larangan riba itu), maka ketahuilah kamu: akan adanya peperangan dari Allah dan RasulNya, (akibatnya kamu tidak menemui selamat). Dan jika kamu bertaubat, maka hak kamu (yang sebenarnya) ialah pokok asal harta kamu. (Dengan yang demikian) kamu tidak berlaku zalim kepada sesiapa, dan kamu juga tidak dizalimi oleh sesiapa. Dan jika orang yang berhutang itu sedang mengalami kesempitan hidup, maka berilah tempoh sehingga ia lapang hidupnya dan (sebaliknya) bahawa kamu sedekahkan hutang itu (kepadanya) adalah lebih baik untuk kamu, kalau kamu mengetahui (pahalanya yang besar yang kamu akan dapati kelak)." -</em> Al-Baqarah 276-280</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>"Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Janganlah kamu makan atau mengambil riba dua atau berlipat-lipat ganda, dan hendaklah kamu bertaqwa kepada Allah supaya kamu berjaya."</em> - A-li'Imraan 130</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jelasnya di sini Allah S.W.T. telah mengajar kita di dalam Al-Quran yang riba' itu sememangnya haram. Allah juga telah mengajar kita definisi riba' iaitu menggandakan nilai pokok sebanyak dua kali ganda atau lebih demi keuntungan pemiutang (pemberi hutang). Allah juga menyarankan yang jika penghutang itu dalam keadaaan susah, hendaklah memberikan masa kepadanya untuk melangsaikan hutang tersebut. Jika penghutang sememangnya tidak mampu membayar hutang tersebut, hendaklah melupuskan hutang tersebut dengan niat kerana bersedekah kerana Allah.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sekarang, berbalik pula kepada persoalan jika unit Amanah Saham Bumiputera itu haram kerana percampuran dengan kaunter-kaunter saham yang di luar dari syarak. Sekiranya kaunter saham tersebut merangkumi jual-beli barangan haram seperti alkohol, jelas sekali penggunaan unit saham itu adalah makruh berdasarkan beberapa hadith kerana unit itu kini menjadi "harta syubahat".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Namun begitu adalah lebih selamat jika harta syubahat (yang ragu-ragu) itu dielakkan. Dari konteks ASB pula, yang diragui adalah perniagaan perbankan yang menjadi aset utama dalam tabung amanah tersebut. (Malayan Banking Berhad 23.23% - 31/12/2012)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Saya berpeluang untuk mendapatkan bantuan pinjaman perumahan daripada Maybank Islamic untuk membeli sebuah rumah di Shah Alam. Jika saya, (aku berlindung dengan-Mu ya Allah daripada musibah ini) mengalami sesuatu kesusahan dan terpaksa lewat membayar hutang tersebut, saya akan dikenakan denda sebanyak beberapa peratus daripada nilai baki akaun pinjaman. Ini juga bertentangan dengan dalil di atas dalam ayat Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 280. Sepatutnya, diberi peluang kepada peminjam beberapa waktu untuk melangsaikan hutang tersebut.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Mari kita lihat satu ilustrasi pinjaman perumahan di mana interest/profit rate adalah 4.2%, "daily-compounded", selama 30 tahun dan nilai pokok RM500,000. Jika dikira, nilai bayaran setiap bulan adalah RM2,446. Jumlah bayaran keseluruhan termasuk interest setelah 30 tahun adalah = 2446 x 12 x 30 = RM 880,560. Jumlah ini tidak melebihi dua kali ganda daripada nilai pokok (1.76112 kali ganda). Pengiraan ini tidak termasuk inflasi di mana nilai RM 880,560 kini tidak sama dengan RM 880,560 akan datang. (Insya Allah akan dikongsikan pendapat tentang inflasi dalam artikel yang akan datang). Pada hemat saya, pinjaman wang ini adalah halal dan dipersetujui kedua-dua pihak asalkan denda seperti di atas tidak dikenakan.<br />
<br />
Jika kita lihat pula suatu ilustrasi pinjaman perseorangan (personal loan) dan saya akan berikan contoh yang sebenar-benarnya berlaku. Seorang hamba Allah ini mahu memulakan perniagaan MLM "bantal/tilam ajaib cahaya Dhuha" dan mahu mendapatkan pinjaman perseorangan sebanyak RM 3,000 sebagai modal. Beliau telah dipujuk oleh "upline"-nya untuk mengambil pinjaman ini dan setelah berjumpa dengan agen pemberi hutang dari syarikat AEON, beliau dikenakan bayaran sebanyak RM 128 selama 5 tahun. Ringkasnya, jumlah perlu dibayar selepas 5 tahun adalah RM 7,680 iaitu 2.56 kali ganda daripada nilai pokok. Pinjaman wang ini jelasnya adalah haram kerana melebih dua kali ganda. Jika diamati daripada website AEON, <a href="http://www.aeonmalaysia.com.my/">www.aeonmalaysia.com.my</a>, bagi jumlah pinjaman yang sama, <a href="http://www.aeonmalaysia.com.my/acs/af/kona/home/channel.do;jsessionid=50A64CEB0D28064D9DCF29195B526F69.bvserver0?channelId=-9145&selectedChannels=-8804&rootChannelId=-8804#page=page-1">"installment table"</a> jelas menunjukkan bagi "New Customer" dia cuma perlu bayar selama 3 tahun sahaja, bukan 5 tahun. Jika ini yg diikuti, jumlah bayaran setelah 3 tahun adalah 1.536 kali ganda sahaja, kurang daripada 2 kali ganda yang dibenarkan oleh syarak. Jadi, sama ada peminjam ini ditipu oleh agen AEON atau "upline"nya wallahualam. Namun bagi saya, saya takkan ambil pinjaman seperti ini. Terlalu mahal dan tidak menjamin keuntungan hatta bayaran balik pinjaman!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CRLc_YarTCs/UvoUaT_vjDI/AAAAAAAAAWw/7YzBZTsm4vM/s1600/AEONPersonal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CRLc_YarTCs/UvoUaT_vjDI/AAAAAAAAAWw/7YzBZTsm4vM/s1600/AEONPersonal.jpg" height="263" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Ringkasnya, sistem pinjaman wang di Malaysia sama ada "Islamic" atau konvensional masih lagi mempunyai ruang untuk diperbaiki walaupun ia semakin dekat ke arah "Pure Islamic Finance"/"Ethical Finance". Hal ini telah dibincangkan oleh saya di<a href="http://jeghui.blogspot.com/2011/06/halalkah-perbankan-islam-di-malaysia.html"> artikel ini</a>. Jadikanlah Al-Quraan sebagai pegangan setiap insan kerana soal riba' telahpun diajar oleh Islam secara jelas dan telus kepada manusia sekaligus menjawab persoalan halal haram dalam produk kewangan masakini.<br />
<br />
Semoga Allah memberkati usaha kita untuk berjaya di dunia dan di akhirat.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><strong><em>This letter was sent to Najib through his 1Malaysia email: </em></strong><a href="mailto:info@1malaysia.com.my"><strong><em>info@1malaysia.com.my</em></strong></a><strong><em> right after the GE13. I am pretty sure he did not read it, based on what we are seeing right now in Malaysia.</em></strong></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Dear beloved Prime Minister of Malaysia,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Congratulations for winning the hard fought 13th General Election. I am surprised you seemed shocked at the results but for me, Barisan Nasional has always been the underdogs since the 2008 political tsunami. As many so-called democrats asking for a two-party system, the result has shown Malaysia has become a two-race system. As you put it, "Chinese Tsunami" has hit Malaysia. As a Malaysian, this is particularly distressing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Clearly your 1Malaysia programme has failed. I have heard so many Non-Bumis calling 1Malaysia is just a saying, a tagline, a publicity stunt. In reality, especially the Chinese, they have kept thinking current affirmative actions have been marginalising them. That being said, I still see the Chinese controlling the Malaysian economy.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Your tireless efforts to please the Chinese had backfired. They were commendable efforts but in reality, racial sentiments still win. Well-organised and hiding behind "fight against corruption, cronyism and nepotism", attacking Bumiputera institutions (MARA, GLCs, UiTM, RELA, UMNO, PERKASA) are clearly apparent especially by the DAP. This is actually a veiled attack against the Bumiputras and Malaysia's affirmative actions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">You are actually facing the same problem your late father Tun Abdul Razak had faced in 1969. DAP/Gerakan made a mistake by taking it to the streets for the victory lap. Victory for only the Chinese seats of course. Riding on a liberal Malay Syed Hussen Al-Attas, they have gained racial victories in Chinese concentrated areas. The incident ensued, as we know it, had become the darkest part of our history. But the DAP had learned from this mistake. No rally was done today, and there wouldn't be. Instead, DAP will play down their victory saying its due to the backing of the Malays or the urbanites. Smart? I am only 30 but to me this is somewhat predictable for the DAP lot. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Now, what would be your next step for national unity? I am very surprised people in Malaysia claimed that we have two Malaysias. This has been going on since decades. It became more and more apparent when Barisan Nasional keep on building and supporting Chinese vernacular schools to please the Chinese. This is actually a fatal mistake. There should be only one, national school in this country. I know their rights of having vernacular schools but this has to be done away at some point in the future.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Clearly, some things have got to go.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">You actually have a choice, for the sake of your political survival. The first green pill is that you can persuade PAS to join Barisan, offering them the DPM post, electing them to be heading the anti-corruption initiative, allow for the participation of ulamas in Islamic matters (not merely shouting the word Hudud of course) and others you can think about. Yes they are wounded after this GE (particularly because of how the Malays are divided) but you cannot ignore the power of their grassroots supporters. Nik Aziz has since retired from politics because of ill-health (insya Allah khair). This should provide a good opportunity to talk to the President Hadi Awang and see if we can finally unite the Muslims. "Bersatu teguh, bercerai roboh." That doesn't mean the Chinese should be punished for betraying your, Ghani Othman's and Ali Rustam's support. As soon as they realise the Malays are stronger again, believe me, you will not see another Chinese Tsunami come the next GE because I don't think they are foolish enough to think they can win alone. The Chinese is controlling the economy, they too know political stability is important. As long as Malaysia keeps developing, and realising they won't be able to win power all by themselves, I believe Malaysia will be in good hands of Barisan. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Or take the red pill so you can persuade DAP to join Barisan (you can try but it was done before when Gerakan joins Perikatan. Look at Gerakan now). Then keep supporting Dong Zhong to build Chinese schools (and get betrayed again). Feed them with some mammoth dinners or holding concerts performed by Chinese-looking Koreans (and keep getting fooled). Some even booed you on stage, being disrespectful. Really, stop being in denial that we all live in harmony, kissing and hugging each other. The issue of polarisation in Malaysia has always been there. You only made it worse when more and more Chinese schools are being built using tax-payers money.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">So how to save Malaysia? You take the green pill mentioned above. Yes, the Chinese will be angry (they are still sore for not winning at federal level). But you forgot that it is actually the Malays who you really have to take care of. We have realised how you have spent so much for the Chinese recently. If you choose the second pill, more Malays will go and support the immoral Anwar. And Anwar, as you are aware, is like a chameleon. He can suddenly change and say he will protect the rights of the Malays and then take you out taking PKR, PAS and disgruntled UMNO with him. You could start smoothen the deal with the Chinese like abolishing the Bumi discount for properties above 800k, because obviously, whoever could afford an 800k property, surely they do not need government's help to buy a property. At the same time, Bumi quota should stay but instead of letting the developers to announce how much is the %, make a strict directive to them to only mention how many units are actually available to the public (when comes to balloting). I was there at the Bandar Rimbayu balloting. I was hurled of racial abuses as if I don't understand Hokkien swearing by many because my friend was wearing the tudung. You might not notice this because only a normal citizen like us would experience this. Also, instead of not allowing the Bumis to sell their properties to Non-Bumis, allow us to sell it only after 5 years (and hopefully the Malays are already better off economically). Then, if PAS agrees, welcome them to Barisan in a form of a coalition government, not to be placed under the Barisan umbrella. They will apply themselves once you have shown how you have good intentions in making Malaysia a better nation. Let Anwar fight BN-PAS and see if he can really win. He will eventually give up, the Chinese will desert DAP, realising they cannot win (evidently PRU13, despite the Chinese super racial swing).</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Education - this has to be done in stages. Enough is enough. I was 11 years old when I joined the national school SRK SFI Melaka. I was one of the only two Malays in class. The school is not a Chinese school but the level of education at that time (1994-1995) was superb. I guess that's why the Chinese stick to SFI. Although it was dominated by Chinese, we learned to respect each other. Never that I have encountered a racial slur except once from a classmate (he now becomes an anti-Malay-Islam racist Chinese). But I will never forget this part of my life. I taught them BM and they taught me English in return. I believe at that time, the Chinese love Barisan. Tun M was saved by the Chinese in 1999 election. So what have they become now? It is not coincidence that since Barisan started wasting hundreds of millions to build Chinese school, the more the Chinese have distant themselves from Barisan.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Corruption - to convince the public, if PAS (or DAP) agrees to setup a coalition government, they should be heading this initiative (not beheading it). Let them do this. Anyone in Barisan who is corrupt, they can stop doing it now as we speak. How many millions in the bank account would satisfy a person? I will not go into individuals but stop using Rakyat's money like your own money. Live a humble life, build the nation. Life is short to be just enjoying the worldly heaven. I really think it is more satisfying to have your name as the Father of the Modern Malaysia where everyone respects you. All I hear in this Middle East country is Mahathir Mohammad. He himself has also failed to make the Malays better. Without corruption, there's no more bullets for the Opposition to attack Barisan. There is simply no reason to hate Barisan. With no corruption, people don't care if the foreign cars are expensive or the national cars are so lousy (especially the power windows). This will bring a certain pride inside every Malaysian. That our country has the lowest corruption index in the region, if not the world. Without corruption, Malaysia will flourish.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Fighting crimes - the stats might say otherwise, but crimes are rampant in Malaysia. I am living in Saudi Arabia and I feel safe here. Hudud is implemented here. Now, since that I have suggested that you personally approach PAS to co-operate with Barisan, I don't think they are foolish enough to declare they will go all out for hudud. Hudud is not even in Buku Jingga, and hudud is only a tool to convince the grassroots supporters that they are all for Islam. In this case, PAS can simply assure their supporters under the new BN-PAS coalition, hudud is actually being implemented in a way of making the punishment for crimes more severe. 10 years for rape? That is like 10 years holiday for these horrible perverts! As hudud is such a taboo in this modern world, Allah has not make it obligatory to call his commands according to the Arabic name Hudud. But really, people get away for statutory rape? Are you kidding me with our judiciary system? Punishment for serial offenders has to be harsh. With harsh punishments, people won't be too brave to commit street crimes for example. I am sure there must be a motivating factor for these guys to repeat the crime. Don't tell me the police force are really nice people nowadays, letting them go after being locked up for a day?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Finally, combating malicious accusations/slanders (FYI your wife has not been spared). Barisan should have one dedicated website to quickly answer to all the accusations made by viral social networking posts, videos and whatever that was accused by the Opposition. The people of Malaysia will then just have to look for one website to find the answers. This website of course, will be contributed by the intel that you have (not slandering bloggers). It must be based on the truth. Facts must all be checked before releasing to the public. PDRM can always play a role although not directly but information can be checked. For example, the Opposition has accused the Government of bringing in Banglas. Very catchy Anwar tactic as if he wouldn't do if he comes to power. He could even bring in China dolls as phantom voters since the Chinese is so siding with him now (okay this is not the idea for BN to adapt, we DON'T have CHINESE votes currently). But of course, Barisan leaders must shape up and repent. Old ways have to be forgotten. I really think the most satisfying thing in life is not to have billions of dollars. But is to actually change the life of the masses for better. Bill Gates get this!</span></span></span></div>

Never a huge fan of Rafizi Ramli, the whole Kajang "Scheme" has shown the character of this man himself, who is byfar, the most arrogant young leader I have ever known beating Khir Toyo.<br />
<br />
First of all, he boasted that he was the master-strategist in the whole issue. He also said "sorry" after taking the wonderful Kajangites for a ride. It's like spitting on his mother's face and then said sorry. The arrogance was clear since he didn't care the feelings of the Kajangites who voted bearly eight months back only to have to do it again just to resolve an internal party issue. He was also too arrogant to see that millions of ringgit would be spent on this high stake by-election.<br />
<br />
Sorry was the only word he offered to charm the Rakyat. Now compare this word to the troubles that would come later and the monies to be spent.<br />
<br />
He later continues to sing the praises of Anwar Ibrahim comparing him to Winston Churchill but the Rakyat are mostly against this "Kajang move".<br />
<br />
Rafizi, who blocked me on Twitter for simply asking about the truth regarding the allegation of his RM 30,000 monthly salary, went on to feel like he is Barney Stinson from a top TV Show "How I met Your Mother", despite the "striking resemblance". He received an overwhelming backlash from the members of the public but of course, with his arrogance, he would just shrug off his critics and continue to fly up in the sky.<br />
<br />
Rafizi learned from the "best", who seems set to become the ADUN of Kajang, Anwar Ibrahim. His sifu, who also blocked me on Twitter (Zaid Ibrahim, Raja Petra, Nurul Izzah, Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin all did it as well) claimed that Khalid Ibrahim would be removed although the Sultan will have the final call. It is also contingent to the greenlight by other Pakatan partners who had more ADUN seats than PKR.<br />
<br />
I know you might think they blocked me from Twitter as a non-issue, and later you might also accuse me of "blockable" for being too blunt. It is worth mentioning here that Nik Nazmi who received quite a number of tweet-attacks from me did not do the same. For that, I still respect him and as for the rest, to me they are a bunch of arrogant leaders.<br />
<br />
Although I cannot guarantee that Nik Nazmi would not block me now for dragging his name to this humble blogpost, it is important to know that for a simple thing that you do, it tells a lot about your character.<br />
<br />
You talked about how UMNO leaders can be arrogant. I concur and can even name some of the them. But this Kajang Scam is the mother of all arrogance in Malaysian politics.</div>

<strong><em>While some of you guys think it's smart to reveal your intention as a politician, think again.</em></strong><br />
<br />
Politics is like Texas Hold 'Em. You will not show your cards to your opponents, even if you won in the end by bluffing. I think it's not even allowed, if you are a professional poker player. So today we just received a stupid apology by the fat, "jambu", Barney-Stinson-wannabe Rafizi Ramli who boasted to be the proponent of "The Kajang Move".<br />
<br />
I just had to read it and obviously, I concur, it was a typical shit-hole Anwarinas' attempt to convince PR supporters of the necessary evil move to vacate the Kajang seat in order to pave way for Anwar to step up en-route to Putrajaya. And of course some if not many are thoroughly convinced by this so-called plan together with the UMNO revolt story (which is more theoretical than reality). They would not mind the RM250Million that was about to be spent for this by-election while at the same time crying over the recent price hikes. Sheep, pawns, they have their right to state their opinion.<br />
<br />
I am no God but this is what going to happen. I will not rub salt into the wound later by saying "I told you so" but what I have predicted before came true (re: Zaid Ibrahim losing Hulu Selangor, unexpectedly, to P. Kamalanathan).<br />
<br />
1. Anwar will stand by his decision to contest the Kajang by-election, despite the uproar from within and outside of PKR.<br />
<br />
2. BN will contest by fielding an MCA candidate. It will be a straigth fight but not really a hard fought battle.<br />
<br />
3. Anwar wins Kajang and motion of no confidence will be tabled by one of the ADUNs from PKR, probably by Azmin himself if not his proxy. PAS will abstain from voting instead of voting for or against.<br />
<br />
4. Motion to remove Khalid approved and Khalid steps down. Anwar will be fielded as the candidate for Menteri Besar. DAP agrees to his candidacy.<br />
<br />
5. Sultan will be displeased by this but he would feel the need to punish PKR and Anwar by waiting at the very last minute to reject Anwar as Menteri Besar. This is also to showcase his power as the Sultan of Selangor.<br />
<br />
6. Knowing this, PAS will then drop the bombshell by announcing that they would severe its ties with Pakatan Rakyat to go for "better opportunity" with BN.<br />
<br />
7. Another bombshell will be dropped, this time from Khalid Ibrahim himself plus another PKR ADUN who immediately joined UMNO.<br />
<br />
8. Selangor falls to BN-PAS coalition. Federal gets stronger as well with BN-PAS.<br />
<br />
9. Sultan accepts the Menteri Besar who will come from PAS. Khalid would play a pivotal role as the Economic Advisor, yes, something like what Anwar Ibrahim is right now.<br />
<br />
10. Anwar and his Barney the Purple T-Rex Rafizi will lose this massive but exciting political battle.<br />
<br />
Some of you would think I am delusional when writing this, I admit I am. But this is actually, at least, what I hope how the story would end. Too much politicking is bad for the Rakyat.<br />
<br />
As for Rafizi's letter, while some of you guys think it's smart to reveal your intention as a politician, think again. What if Anwar was only testing the water to see how BN would react to this so that he can make his next move? What if there is an even bigger agenda than what we are all speculating? What if PKR is only trying to cover up an even bigger story within PKR so that this move would cloud it?<br />
<br />
I have only one hope for Malaysia. Less politicking but more working together for better nation.</div>

<strong>On Kalimah "Allah" issue...</strong><br />
Christians in Malaysia who are actually using the BM version of the bible (Sabah and Sarawak) would be encouraged to use the Malaysian version, not the Indonesian version of the bible. "Allah" shall never appear in these bibles because the more appropriate one to be used is "Tuhan", so to protect Christianity itself and the sensitivity of the Muslims who refer their one and only God, who do not bear a son nor that He has a father, as Allah.<br />
<br />
<strong>On rising prices...</strong><br />
Controlled goods are controlled goods. If suppliers/retailers increase the prices of controlled goods above the maximum allowed, they will be punished heavily and jailed as well. It is also a high time for Malaysians to reap higher salaries especially in the Multinational companies. Minimum wage can be introduced and also set a clear salary benchmark for the public to see for each general occupations. Companies which meet this benchmark will be rewarded in some tax exemptions.<br />
<br />
<strong>On people spewing racial, religious hatred...</strong><br />
They should be detained under sedition act. While I was against the ISA being abolished, I would also not welcome it back at this time (flip flop is a sign of weakness). The Act that replaces ISA should avoid making political arrests, unless it was clear what was uttered by politicians, regardless of party, religion or race, would cause disharmony and disunity.<br />
<br />
<strong>On the motor industry...</strong><br />
Proton and Perodua should continuously be protected by the Government but we will not be pumping Rakyat's money anymore for their Research and Development. With Lotus under its wings, Proton should start using their technology fully to make better cars, not just its handling. Protectionism here would be the current price discrimination that we have against imported cars. Foreign cars shall continue to be expensive with the current duties and tax in place. Proton aftersales will be monitored so that they reach a world class level. Proton and Perodua cars will be made cheaper, to the extend that they are so cheap but in high quality, Malaysians will come back to Proton and Perodua.<br />
<br />
<strong>On Shiah in Malaysia...</strong><br />
Shiah pracitices will never be allowed here in Malaysia. The Muslims are too divided already by three political parties and it would only be worse to have a Syiah sect joining the fray. Those involved will be caught for insulting the official religion Islam.<br />
<br />
<strong>On Anwar's "olive branch offer" for reconciliation...</strong><br />
Truth be told despite Anwar's moral issues, he still has the backing of a large number of Rakyat. If we could agree on the things above and for him to convince his followers on the right thing to do, apolitical and unpopular even, then national reconciliation will be on the right track. If he is sincere enough, he would not ask for positions, favours or money even. Rakyat will reward him if he toes the line.<br />
</div>

1. I hope Barisan win this strong-hold of PAS.<br />
2. PAS, should consider joining Barisan instead of staying in a very uncomfortable marriage with DAP.<br />
3. PAS should also stop using Hudud as an election campaign because we all know that PAS will not be able to do it under Pakatan with PKR and the strong DAP opposing it.<br />
4. The best way forward for PAS, for the sake of Muslims, is to unite with UMNO.<br />
5. When Muslims are united, so will Malaysians.</div>

Memang dasar Cina DAP betul nak tembak apa saja yang boleh when comes to Bumiputra-Muslims. Racist chauvinistic Chinese traits are being shown as much as ever since May 13 election. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Dah kalah tu kalah laaa... Stop blaming and attacking Islamic, Bumiputra values.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I did TITAS when I was in UiTM Malaysia. At first I thought it's a syllabus that siswazah boleh tidur je. Turned out, its one of the best subjects. Why? That was the first time my view about Jews change. Before that, as a typical Muslim raised in Malaysia, we were told the Jews are to be condemned. Kau tanyalah Melayu dekat Malaysia bila datang soal Yahudi, semua akan melenting. Ingat tak insiden Avram Grant kena boo dekat stadium? I was not one of them! Why? Because of TITAS!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The good ustaz told me about how the Jews of the modern world are the decendants of the good Jews who follow the religion of Moses which was originally also... Islam. The pharoahs and his supporters were killed by famine and the world at that time dah pun terkelangkup (surely racist chauvinist Chinese DAP tak paham this word). <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Takda langsung soal nak kutuk agama lain ke, bangsa lain ke. So just because this racist chauvinistic Chinese DAP MP cakap macam ni, engkorang dah terus nak caya and nak cakap TITAS tu jahat.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Piiiraaah! Go to the class first then complain. I have my own experience to tell and because of TITAS I am now a changed man. My thoughts on the Jews, on the Iranians Shiahs, the Christians, the Buddhists the Hindus all change. I swear on my grandpa's grave that what I stated above is true. I dunno if you can find them on my blog because I remember writing about this experience before.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And by God, it was from the TITAS. I passed the subject by simply attending the classes. Also, I thought this subject is only compulsory for Muslims.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And what the heck is this about aborigines pulak? TITAS bunuh orang asli rights? Tak payah laa nak twist and turns and attacking Islam in this great Ramadhan (and you think you will get away with it. And you think brave Muslims will just shut up like some others in this forum yang kononnya tak racist ramai kawan bukan Melayu?). As far as I know, Orang Asli are Bumiputras and they should receive all the bumirights and special position as enshrined in the Constitution. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I wonder why there is no topic here about ALVIVI sexbloggers who were parading their small, ugly assets and think it's cool? Not to mention buat ucapan bukak puasa dengan babi wangi dan menyelerakan? Because they are Chinese? Gimme a break!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
TITAS to make compulsory for all Muslim students in local and private varsities. Hell yeah. As far as I know, it's all good.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And those racist, chauvinist people regardless of race, veiled-attacking Islam should just look at themselves in the mirror and repent. Racism is so 90s!<br />

<br />
There has not been much heated debate on this list in a while, so below my thoughts on the so-called 'Islamic Civilisation' class (TITAS) that may be soon imposed on our university students.<br />
<br />
My conclusion: it's MICO in disguise and is a smokescreen to get our attention away from other 'unIslamic' (and generally inhuman) goings-on, such as an amendment to the Aboriginal People's Act which may see the Orang Asli losing >80% of the land they claim. And of course, there is the TPPA and a few other things like that happening at the moment. Small wonder that the 'Allah issue' has been brought up again.<br />
<br />
Will Malaysians fall into the trap? That is the question.<br />
<br />
All counter-arguments, brickbats, hot coals etc. are welcome. But I may not respond till next week.<br />

1. Letter to my MP regarding compulsory Islamic Civ. in Malaysian universities<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[With some slight modifications. I am from the parliamentary constituency of Beruas, represented by YB Dato' Ngeh Koo Ham.]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Dear YB Ngeh,<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/235371<br />
<br />
http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/mp-questions-need-for-islamic-subject-in-private-universities/<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Regarding these articles, if the reporting is accurate, as a constituent of Beruas, I would like to register my disagreement with some of the views expressed --- especially: “How will this help those who are studying to become lawyers, doctors and engineers?” --- and to propose a different approach, which I hope will be more constructive.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It is never a loss when we learn about other civilisations. Indeed, when one studies different civilisations (or even the same civilisation but at different points in history) one can learn from their mistakes and also their achievements. But of course nothing must be imposed on the students.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
What we are observing now in French universities is that the hyper-specialisation of doctors, lawyers, engineers etc. is leading to people who only know how to 'execute' --- who can build wonderful railways, nuclear centres and what not --- but who do not know why they are doing all these things and who do not have any larger vision for the world and their place in it. This is in part due to the semi-destruction and 'chopping up' of the Sorbonne (and other French universities) which started during the Revolution, continued under Napoleon and has only become worse since --- such that lawyers only study law, physicists only study physics etc. and there is no formation of the whole person. I believe this may be one of the root causes (or at least one of the correlate symptoms) of the European crisis (economic, but also moral, leadership, cultural and civilisational) that we are going through now.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
At the moment I and others are fighting very hard to have the humanities (and social sciences) re-introduced at the Université Paris-Sud, which is basically half of the 'chopped up' Sorbonne's old science faculty. As part of this effort, I may be teaching a philosophy/history of ideas course in 2014-2015.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For Malaysia, I propose as a solution that diverse civilisational studies should be offered: Western European, Slavic, Indian, Japanese, American, African, Middle Eastern etc. but that none should be imposed. Malaysia and Malaysians are in a unique position to study and learn from many cultures as we are already a multicultural society and we have ties to many other countries around the world. This is a huge advantage that we have over other countries, e.g. France. We must let this advantage blossom rather than letting certain parties turn it into a disadvantage.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Another proposal is to develop the field of South East Asian civilisational studies. SEA 'entered into history' several centuries ago now and yet we do not seem to have our own identity. Instead, we are borrowing from from the West, the Middle East, the Far East and everywhere. It is time to develop our own identity especially in view of growing intra-ASEAN ties, including the ASEAN EC in 2015. This will also help build up Malaysian national identity instead of pulling us in different directions.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I would be happy to share further observations about the education system here (and in the US) if this will help your reflection.<br />
<br />

2. Some initial comments in a discussion with some friends (of diverse religious backgrounds)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
informal reports from local unis says that sometimes the 'lecturers' are zealots who turn the 'civilisation' course into a 'conversion' course. these should be checked. if true, i don't think this is doing islam any favours or improving its image. one suggestion i made is to have ALL students take a 'multicultural' class on a culture they are not familiar with. (another is in the letter above.) but before it can be implemented, all the zealots have to be weeded out, whether from the Islamic civilisation course, the Russian civ. course, the Western civ. course, the Indian civ. course or the Buddhist civ. course: our neighbours in Myanmar have shown that 'even' Buddhists can be extremists. is the western silence on the rohingya massacre due to the fact that the 'west' can't wrap their heads around this? (A petition: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/we_said_never_again_c/)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This sort of 'multicultural' requirement was in place at my alma mater and i believe in many american unis. so it can be done...again, provided there are no zealots of any kind involved, whether buddhist, hindu, atheist, shia, catholic, lutheran, sunni, alevi, sufi, ibadi, s.i.b., anglican or other. there were some atheist zealots at my old uni, but i survived. ** i believe that each student learning about other cultures (even 'strange' ones for us like russian, japanese, african etc.) will help broaden people's minds and help us to get closer to '1malaysia' and maybe 'one global village'. but not imposing one course on everyone: that will only increase distrust and hatred.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
the immediate problem for malaysia is that the trappings of islam (i do not say islam itself) have been used to serve certain political purposes: http://asiapacific.anu.edu.au/newmandala/2013/05/17/ways-of-seeing-malaysia-deconstructing-demographic-violence/we are not even at the level of discussing 'fundamentals' about different ways of seeing the world as it were, because we are stuck at another level of 'power plays'. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
the challenge for whoever would lead malaysia is this: can they offer a way for malaysians to think difference as peace and unity instead of violence --- violence either in the form of Apollonian 'totality' or Dionysian chaos? (The former is very close to what we have at the moment.) i think malaysians are longing for a true vision of peace but so far nobody has stepped forward to offer this. also, this is a question that is facing many across the world at the moment. malaysians, and especially malaysian leaders, are in a unique position to provide an answer which will be a huge step forward for mankind --- or to fail miserably.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Further comments in the same discussion<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[I was passed the link to the TITAS syllabus. http://fr.scribd.com/doc/121333820/TITAS-syllabus-2010-UMP]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Dear friends, I have had the opportunity to look a little more closely at the TITAS syllabus now and I have come to a rather distressing conclusion. So distressing that I'm getting this down in writing before I go to bed: TITAS is MICO in disguise.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
To understand what I mean by MICO, see: http://asiapacific.anu.edu.au/newmandala/2013/05/17/ways-of-seeing-malaysia-deconstructing-demographic-violence/<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
TITAS seems almost like a 'Malaysian studies' course, except it takes a particular view of Malaysia which I think is actually very harmful to Malaysia. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. There is no discussion of Orang Asal. The subliminal message is Our dear Kadazan, Murut, Bajau, Lun Bawang, Jakun, Sakai etc. friends: you do not exist. Full stop. Or, 'you don't have any culture', which amounts to the same thing. To exist, you must now choose: do you want to be M, I or C? Pick your side in the 'great Malaysian civil war', but you cannot be yourselves.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. The syllabus is designed to divide Malaysians into hard categories and to tell them that 'these "civilisations" will always be different and they will always be antagonistic and mutually exclusive. Particularly worrying are the parts about 'interactions with other cultures'. What will be said here? I would not be surprised if the discussion is framed in terms of conflict and 'irreconciliable differences'. I am also worried about the 'survival' chapters, whic might be what Kessler describes as 'trying to induce a siege mentality':http://asiapacific.anu.edu.au/newmandala/2013/06/12/malaysias-ge13-what-happened-what-now-part-1/ All this is totally contrary to any effort to build up a Malaysian identity and Malaysian unity.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It is clear that there is no room in this syllabus for anyone who, like Farish Noor, dares to call himself a Javanese-Dutch-Indian-Arab. There is no room in this syllabus for any of these stories: http://www.nst.com.my/nation/general/celebrating-chindian-marriages-1.318937<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Imagine a Malaysia where people went around calling themsleves Hakka-Scots-Lun Bawang. Or Jakun-Irish-Sumatran. Or Kutien-Irish-Burmese. Or Keralan-Hokkien-Murut. Or Tamil-Temiar-Batak-Peranakan. Would it help Malaysian unity? Of course, by creating 'human bridges' across different cultures and identities. And the fact is that many Malaysians are very mixed. But true Malaysian unity would hurt certain interests. The interests of coalitions whose parties are divided accoring to the 'headings' of the TITAS syllabus chapters above.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In GE13, many Malaysians rejected race-based interests. The political parties then had two choices in order to remain relevant: 1. Change (e.g. disband or merge race-based parties), or 2. Try to make those Malaysians striving for unity 'racist as usual' again. It looks like certain parties have made their choice clear. This syllabus is clearly designed to firmly divide Malaysians into hermetic categories and to convey the idea that these 'hard categories' of people should never 'mix'. This is a truly sad day for Malaysia. The presentation of this course as 'Islamic civilisation' was a clever trick to distract attention from the real contents and also to provoke a reaction from Perkasa analogue groups from other religions. And it succeeded.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Not incidentally, as explained in my article above, this 'way of seeing Malaysia' is also used to quietly 'wipe out' the Orang Asal. Is it any coincidence that the Aboriginal People's Act is being amended at the same time that TITAS came out?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My friends, certain people are trying to distract us by making us hate each other while they quietly steal away the tanah pusaka of the Orang Asli. (East Malaysian natives may be next but for the moment there are too many of them in the cabinet.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's not fall into this trap. I hope that no true Muslim will fall for this. Nor any true believer of any other religion. Nor atheists who believe in the dignity of the human person and the common good. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Let us expose TITAS for what it is (another attempt to divide and rule Malaysians) and move on to the real fight. Let us unite and fight for our weaker brethren whose land is being taken away from them. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was the first time I went for any balloting (including any general or non-general election!). It was one nice crisp March morning that I had to wake up earlier than usual to queue for a property that I feel will be set to be a nice place to stay. For those who are unaware (or somewhat confused with my nickname), I am a Dutch-Indo-Javanese-Malay Malaysian hence qualified as a group called the Bumiputras.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bandar Rimbayu the Chimes were launched last weekend on the 2nd of March 2013. Despite the skeptics and the blatant accusation of a property market slowing down, about 3000 people turned up for the balloting launch of the first phase of a huge, green concept of a township. The development is located 3.2km away to the south of Kota Kemuning. This part of Selangor has yet to have a retail mall. It will further increase the prices of properties in Kota Kemuning and Alam Impian as they are freehold land (minimum 700k now). Prices starting from 577k before bumi discount and there is also an RM8000 rebate, free wifi on the first year, free security on the first year (provided the Guarded Neighbourhood Scheme was approved) and free legal fees and stamping fees for SnP. Other features of the properties include Rain-water Harvesting System and Solar Powered Water Heater.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Only 115 units were made available for Non-Bumis on that day. The rest were either taken up by the internal people or being reserved for Bumis. As 3 bumis were selected on that day, an extra 3 places were balloted to Non-Bumis. The bumi quota for this launch is 50:50 which is still okay compared to other launches in Shah Alam like Laman Glenmarie 2 and Denai Alam (70:30). IJM is known for strict adherence on the market conduct set out by the authority thus Bumi Lot would ultimately means any unit taken up by a Bumi. Only 25% completion of the said phase, 50% of the Bumi leftovers would be released to Non-Bumis. The other 50% will only come after 50% completion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My thoughts on the township? I am always skeptical about leasehold projects but I keep being reminded of the success stories of Kota Damansara and Damansara Perdana. The vast land reserved for retail and commercial, added with a green township concept somehow exponentially increased my great feeling about the township. Furthermore, people do not care already about whether a property is a leasehold or freehold. Then come the question of bumi lots and how the bumi investors should avoid buying them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, if you are buying for own stay, Bandar Rimbayu seems like a nice place to grow your family. With an affordable pricing of minimum 580k for the normal intermediate 22x75 and 850k for a normal corner lot, one should see the corner lot as a great bargain, provided that the purchasers can afford. A small fry like me would settle for a nice, private, intermediate unit with a number that is desirable by all community. Being a bumi has it perks and drawbacks, especially when you are a target after many of the Non-bumi hopefuls' number was not called or when you are only allowed to sell the property to a fellow Bumi from the Malays or Kadazans or Ibans etc. Having said that, it is also worth mentioning that any leasehold properties would need the consent of the authority so the process is still a hassle. But for the bumi lots, the process to transfer to a non-bumi secondary purchaser would be much tougher. This is a reality,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, being a responsible property investor, I do not flip or speculate. Property investment should always be a long term investment. I am buying to provide for my future unborn children who I predict would face a difficult task to buy their own landed house. There are people who flip to make short gains and these are the people who contribute to the ever skyrocketing prices of Klang Valley properties. But remember, remember, the lands are getting much lesser. And any right thinking adult would feel high rises won't be a suitable place to grow your family (at least to me). I would not worry much if there are less bumi now that are less wealthy than the Chinese Malaysians, evidently by the huge turnout of the Chimes launching.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Imagine a huge hall containing about 3000 fellow Malaysians. Only 14 Bumiputeras/Indian-Muslims came to buy! Malaysian Indians accounted about 20 hopefuls with only 4 who got lucky. The rest left grumbling and honking their car all the way out of the Holiday Villa Hotel, Subang. Frustrated. Some were heard cursing the Bumi policy as if I do not understand what they were saying. None has done it to my face however if not... there would be blood! Only kidding. I know Malaysians are mostly scaredy cats. Kidding again!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For a 550k property, if it is your first time buying a property for own stay, you would need a combined income of RM6,811 which is RM3,411 each. (based on 4.2% interest and 35 years duration). I am talking about married couple with young kids and I don't think there is any issue if your husband is a pengkid (tomboy) in Malaysia in order to qualify for a joint-loan. In my frank opinion, the price is still affordable. As I mentioned in my tweets earlier, if you still feel you can't afford it, look away. But shelter is a basic necessity for every family. Forget about your gold, stocks, direct-selling "air-market" investment for a while and simply think about providing the basic necessity for your children. In the game of capitalism, the consumer should be smart. If you think the price is ridiculous, avoid.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was the 120th person to choose a unit and the ceremony ended around 345pm. It was so long (but the food was great) but even though I was not that lucky to get to choose earlier as my number was not picked, I was lucky enough the unit I grabbed was good thanks to my Bumi status. For the Bumis who complained about not being able to buy a landed house to stay, I urge not to wait any longer as the prices for landed properties will not go any lower for a 22x75 double storey, below 500k. Do not settle for a pigeon hole that cost 100k cheaper than half a million landed property because at the end of the day, you just want to lead a happy and comfortable life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, car is a liability.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But when you need it, especially when the public transport is poor, it has become a necessity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course it's stupid to buy a car just to show off your status.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"You buy local car (Malaysian context), you are LAU YAA.' some say.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(removed. Because he is my friend and my brother).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Others, break the bank to buy German cars. Cheapest available is the Volkswagen Polo Sedan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not as fast as Polo TSI, the CKD version is quite affordable so everyone who likes German cars would be enticed by it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cars are so expensive in Malaysia. And yet people buy Porsche Panamera. Actually it doesn't matter if you are a fan and if you really can afford it. But hey come on, it's stupid if you buy a car to please others.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buy a car to please YOURSELF.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am driving a 2008 Camry. Never in my life I would imagine buying a Camry. No, not because I'm an anglophile like some people. It's because growing up, I managed to see how my father, who is a fan of Mercedes started so humbly buying his first Mercedes, a second hand 190E. Since then, I became a fan. A former classmate Pajai told me how his father changed from one Camry to the another. A snob as I was, I just gave him a condescending smirk.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, I'm driving a Camry! It's just one helluva reliable car.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So why I think it's not stupid for me to buy a car? This topic was preordained by a post on Facebook by the great property investor Faizul Ridzuan (Paikor as he is known). He was tagging a link to a website encouraging people to manage money better. Here in Riyadh, the car prices are so cheap. I bought the car on second hand and it was also sold below market price. I was that lucky to be offered the car by a fellow Malaysian here in Riyadh. Not only I love my first car, I also had it repaired cosmetically.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I guess it's just if you have the passion for cars, it's not really stupid to buy one that you like, as long as your conscience is clear. You might want to prioritize in life but hey, why keep so much money if you don't really use it?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So there's no really right or wrong. (removed).</div>

My great father bought a house here in Bandar Puncak Alam for me because he knew the house prices would increase and we would not be able to afford it. It was bought for only RM150,000 in 2005 and wanted us to be thankful so we went to clean it almost every fortnight.<br />
<br />
I remember cleaning the lawn and fixing the lamps and water system. It was the first time I knew about property but I was only in university back then.<br />
<br />
Now after about 8 years, the development is still slow in Puncak Alam. I am always a fan of the underdogs and of course with the bandar having a soft spot in my heart, I will always root for Bandar Puncak Alam. The population mix is not something we can be proud of but slowly but surely, it would be a good city.<br />
<br />
I was told Tesco is coming to Puncak Bestari and with the links through new highways, Puncak Alam's "ulu" status would soon be history.<br />

But for one thing I mentioned to my dad when we were on the way to the house. The distance is always a problem. In 10 years time this would be a thing of the past as more developments are set in neighbouring towns.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pakatan Rakyat has suffered a double blow to wrest Putrajaya from the ruling coalition as the 13th General Election looms. The death of Private Investigator Balasubramaniam due to heart illness has not been a good timing as he was only about to "reveal all" in a nation-wide campaign. Then came a series of pictures purportedly taken from a video feed featuring two men in compromising positions where one of them appears to be of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Conspiracy theorists may have suggested the former was killed while the latter was not the man who featured in the video. However, reality would soon settle-in to the minds of even the hardcore supporters as hard proofs would soon be released. Some supporters have even admitted they do not care if the man in the video was Anwar Ibrahim as long as "ABU" (Anyone But UMNO) movement is implemented when choosing the new Government. While the UMNO-ists might see this as a veiled attacks against the Malays as a whole, many has also seen UMNO as a party drenched with filth of corruption.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A large section of PAS party leaders and supporters have declared unfavourable to the idea of Anwar Ibrahim becoming the new Prime Minister if Pakatan were to take over the Federal Government. The notion of this movement might have stemmed from the sentiments among the grassroots supporters, in which I could only assume, Anwar's moral scandals. The sudden U-turn made by the leaders could not have been timely as it was first mentioned publicly only months before the impending General Election.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is somewhat disastrous because Pakatan Rakyat could not afford to show differences in opinion among them to the public. They have not even agreed on the same logo or if the Buku Jingga is taking into account the aspirations of PAS to make Malaysia and Islamic (or welfare state).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At this point PAS should not make public any differences of opinion against sister parties like DAP or PKR. Seat allocations have yet to be confirmed and I expect PAS to actually fight for having the majority of seats contested, if not won, in which Anwar himself would not allow. There is a certain feeling among their leaders that PAS should actually lead Pakatan Rakyat, not PKR. Some even suggested that it is normal to elect the Prime Minister from the party that won the most federal seats but Anwar Ibrahim has insisted that they should have two Deputies, one who is Lim Kit Siang and the other should be Hadi Awang.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Personally I feel that PAS is playing a dangerous game by ignoring the two incidents mentioned and trying to push Ustaz Hadi to be the rightful Prime Minister. It is either they accept Anwar as the Pakatan's Prime Minister or join Barisan Nasional when the time comes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unless they are confident enough that they could win more seats than PKR and keep Pakatan intact in which is very unrealistic to me.</div>

Actually she doesn't deserve to be in my blog but of course, since she's asking for it, here goes.<br />
<br />
I am no shrink but by the words chosen by her in her writings, I conclude that.<br />
<br />
1. She is mentally ill.<br />
2. She is scarred for life of whatever trouble she faced before. Blaming it on Islam.<br />
3. She is an attention seeker, in which she has won, only in a bad way.<br />
4. She is not pretty and made it worse on herself by colouring her hair blonde. Since I have been wanting to become a beauty pageant judge, I would rate her as 10... out of 10 billion.<br />
5. Good news that Interpol has co-operated to bring her to justice. But don't forget those Malay-liberals-civil society who demand freedom of speech (or lies).<br />
6. I bet no normal man would do her and her smile is so sinister it could be used for anti-premature ejaculation.<br />
7. Whatever it is, her fate is sealed. Another waste of life.</div>
