PAS Khianat Amanah Allah

Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Hussein Obama II pernah berkata “There is no short-cut to peace” (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.

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  menegakkan keadilan dan kebenaran atas nama Islam telah gagal dalam ujian integriti yang Allah SWT telah berikan.

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.

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 isti’jal (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 isti’jal adalah kata-kata Barack Obama yang zalim terhadap rakyat Palestin ini. Bagi saya, “Peace should be made as a priority and there is ALWAYS a short-cut to peace” (Keamanan itu adalah utama dan jalan pintas SENTIASA ada untuk keamanan).

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 “Peria”, yang Cina dipanggil babi, yang Melayu dipanggil orang hutan, agama Kristian dipermain-mainkan,  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.

Sebelum ini saya ada menulis 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? Khilaf juga?

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 Jizya (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!

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.

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.

Asalkan jika niat berkerja demi rakyat. Bukan demi politik.

Official: There is no good people in Pakatan

Just when I thought PAS would uphold justice and truth, just when I thought I should open my heart and be "husnuzon" (having good faith) to PAS, they failed in this integrity test given by Allah to simply do the right thing.
 
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 husnuzon. 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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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 marhaen 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.
 
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?
 
"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.
 
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.
 
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 here.

Ketum Temberang

Dengarlah tuan satu cerita
Cerita moden orang-orang barua
Kisah Si Ketum yang satu mata
Bukannya betul semuanya auta

Kisahnya konon di negeri Kajang
Dari hal Si Ketum pernah telanjang
Telek menelek semua temberang
Hati rakus tapi bini sayang
Wahai Ketum lelaki miang
Tok Ketum serekap jarang
Wahai Ketum lelaki miang
Hilang maruah di telek Kajang

Walau begitu hatinya hancur
Reputasi, kredibiliti, semuanya hancur
Hingga sultan tak percaya
Akhirnya jadi bahan gelak tawa

Ketum Temberang ....
Adaptasi: Nujum Pak Belalang (olih Tan Sri P. Ramlee)
Nukilan: Jeg Hui

What Next for Abdul Khalid?

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.
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.
 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 (perjuangan) 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.
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.
 So just a reminder, the Sultan is the ultimate decision maker, with or without vote of confidence.
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.
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.
 As it stands:  In the no confidence vote: PAS 15, BN 12, IND 1, DAP 14 and PKR 13

In creating new state government: PAS 15, BN 12, IND 1, DAP 15 and PKR 13

Dead-end for Anwar and Rafizi

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.

As soon as it was resurrected, again we lost our brothers and sisters in another aviation tragedy, the shooting down of MH17.

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.

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 13th 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.

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.

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.

Kajang Move, where fanboys thought to be made by a genius could even mark the death of two-party system.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
