Even Karpal Remembers Nik Aziz's Birthday, How Can Azizan Forget?

On January 28, Nik Aziz was reported to have attended a Thaipusam celebration event in Penang organized by Pakatan Rakyat. Those who attended the event include DAP Chairman, Karpal Singh.

And by evening, Nik Aziz visited Karpal Singh at his residence followed by a celebration of Nik Aziz's birthday, complete with a cake decorated with all of PR's component parties.

Harakahdaily reported that the visit was very welcomed by Pakatan Rakyat supporters that some of them ended in tears. That is how happy they are to see the friendship between a person who is called Mursyidul Am and an Anti-Islam leader, working together to reach Putrajaya.

It is not wrong if we are to say that the happiness which they had on Nik Aziz's birthday is just as same as Malaysiakini readers' happiness as they celebrate the dismissal of Nasharuddin Mat Isa from the Syura Council through their comments.

For your info, Nik Aziz's date of birth is January 10, 1931. We are not sure whether Karpal did the preparation to celebrate Nik Aziz's birthday at his residence or it was planned by Nik Aziz's side.

If Nik Aziz's side was the one which planned the event, then it would be weird because during the visit to the north, he was reported to have visited the residence of Kedah Chief Minister, Dato’ Seri Azizan Razak on January 27. That is why, Nik Aziz could have celebrated his birthday at Azizan's home instead of Karpal's.

Perhaps, unlike Karpal, Azizan might have forgotten Nik Aziz's birthday. As we all know, celebrating birthdays is more of a 'Mat Saleh' culture and it is not a norm for PAS people. That is why, we are not surprised if Azizan and Nik Aziz never even remember their family members' birthdays, or even celebrate it. Besides that, PAs is also famous for being a bunch of chauvinist men where they are not really friendly with their family.

Thus, PAS members were somehow touched with Karpal's effort in celebrating Naik Aziz's birthday. Perhaps this is the first time they personally understand the meaning of 'appreciation' from others. Tok Guru definitely believe that this is the meaning of true friendship.

If this is how Karpal appreciates his friendship, then it is not surprising why Nik Aziz focuses more on DAP's orders than demands from PAS or even the Quran itself. Considering that Malays do appreciate whatever it is that is given to them, Tok Guru would definitely feel 'embarrased' to go against opinions or orders from Karpal after this.

Looking back at history, before PAS became friends with DAP, PAS was famous for taking extreme approach in going against non-Muslims. During the time, some PAS members even followed an unwritten law where they should never vote for non-Muslim as their assemblyman. This is the main factor why UMNO is rejected, all because of the excuse where UMNO works alongside MCA and MIC.

However, those are all old stories, before PAS gets to know DAP better. PAS has now changed, the party is now even more open than UMNO.

Today, UMNO would die defending religion and race, but PAS would die rather than leaving DAP. For PAS, let Hasan Ali die, let Nasharuddin go, as long as it pleases DAP.

Besides, Karpal is just fighting against Islam, not Tok Guru, right?

DAP SASAR PECAHKAN INSTITUSI RAJA-RAJA MELAYU

Pembangkang semakin terdesak sehingga Dap terpaksa memujuk akan Yang Dipertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan, Tunku Zain Al-'Abidin Ibni Tuanku Muhriz untuk menyertai parti itu.

Dap tahu bahawa raja-raja Melayu merupakan payung kepada kedaulatan bangsa ini dan mempunyai pengaruh yang amat besar ke atas kehidupan orang Melayu samada dalam ruang lingkup sosial, budaya mahupun politik.

Orang Melayu dan raja-raja Melayu sememangnya tidak boleh dipisahkan bagaikan irama dan lagu.

Jika berlaku tembok pemisahan maka runtuhlah institusi itu dan malaplah masa depan bangsa Melayu.

Oleh itu 'menjaring' seorang anak raja yang muda dan idealis seperti Tunku Zain Al-'Abidin untuk menggangotai sebuah parti rasis dan perkauman seperti Dap boleh dianggap tangkapan besar atau 'slam dunk' dalam bahasa permainan bola jaring.

Inilah sebenarnya strategi Dap untuk menyucikan parti itu daripada stigma anti-Melayu dan anti-Islam yang telah melekat kepada tubuh badannya sejak ditubuhkan.

Apatah lagi jika ia berjaya memikat hati seorang anak raja untuk berdiri di atas landasan perjuangan 'Malaysian Malaysia'nya maka Dap akan mendapat pengabsahan paling besar untuk menyakinkan orang Melayu menyertai parti itu.

Dap cuba strategi yang sama terhadap Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim, seorang kerabat diraja Kedah dan bekas Pengerusi Transparency International Malaysia namun gagal.

Sejurus menerima keahlian Tunku Aziz, beliau terus dilantik sebagai Naib Pengerusi Dap bagi mewakili kaum Melayu dalam parti itu dan kemudiannya digula-gulakan lagi dengan lantikan sebagai Ahli Dewan Negara.

Sebagai seorang yang bijaksana Tunku Aziz bukanlah seorang anak Melayu berdarah raja yang mudah diperbodohkan seperti mana yang diperlakukan oleh penasihat-penasihat Inggeris kepada raja-raja Melayu zaman sebelum merdeka.

Sebelum terjerat lebih jauh dalam perangkap Dap, Tunku Aziz telah pun dapat menghidu penipuan dan kepalsuan parti rasis itu apabila bercakap mengenai soal orang Melayu dan Islam.

Bagi beliau, orang Melayu dalam Dap hanyalah tunggangan Lim Kit Siang dan anaknya Guan Eng serta Karpal Singh.

Dap tidak pernah memperjuangkan nasib Melayu dan tidak akan berbuat demikian untuk selama ia wujud sebagai sebuah parti politik.

Wadah perjuangannya hanya untuk kepentingan kaum Cina semata-mata dengan tidak mempedulikan hakikat bahawa bumi yang mereka pijak adalah tanah air orang Melayu.

Walaupun Tunku Aziz meninggalkan Dap, namun Guan Eng menggunakan kaedah rasuah politik untuk mengekalkannya dalam parti itu dengan menawarkan Pengerusi Institut Pulau Pinang dengan gaji lima angka.

Semuanya ditolak mentah-mentah oleh beliau kerana selama ini Dap yang kononnys diyakini sebagai parti berbilang bangsa sebenarnya hanyalah topeng untuk menutup satu perjuangan yang ekstrem kepada perkauman Cina.

Penolakan orang Melayu terhadap perjuangannya tidak mematah semangat pemimpin Dap, dan ia sanggup berbuat apa sahaja untuk menarik minat orang Melayu.

Dap sanggup memanipulasi keputusan pemilihan anggota Jawatankuasa Eksekutif Pusat untuk meletakkan seorang 'Melayu celup' menjadi wakil tunggal Melayu walaupun sebelumnya semua calon Melayu kalah teruk.

Kini pandangan mereka beralih untuk memecah belahkan institusi yang memayungi orang Melayu apabila usaha mereka untuk meretakkan bangsa Melayu sudah gagal.

Dap berharap jika seorang anak raja boleh diyakinkan untuk bertanding pada PRU13 nanti atas tiket parti itu, sudah tentu ramai orang Melayu akan terpengaruh.

Mungkin Dap berfikir strategi mereka untuk menjadikan institusi raja-raja Melayu seperti keldai mereka seperti mana yang dilakukan kepada Pas, mereka amat silap besar.

Jika orang Melayu mampu menyedarkan raja-raja Melayu supaya tidak menurunkan tandatangan mereka bagi perjanjian untuk mewujud serta mengabsahkan Malayan Union pada 1948, sudah tentu untuk menentang perancangan licik Dap tidak menjadi masalah besar.

Mungkin Tunku Zainal Al-'Abidin sebagai seorang anak raja yang muda dan bersemangat perlu menelusuri dan mempelajari dengan lebih mendalam perihal sejarah perjuangan kemerdekaan Tanah Melayu dengan penuh kesedaran serta perasaan prihatin.

Jangan terjebak dengan permainan silap mata politik Dap yang secara luaran amat menarik hati dengan segala idealisme yang mengasyikkan jiwa dan kalbu sehingga akhirnya tersedar bahawa diri telah tertipu.

Karpal Pun Ingat Hari Jadi Nik Aziz, Azizan Boleh Lupa?

28 Januari lalu, Nik Aziz dilaporkan menghadiri perayaan Thaipusam di Pulau Pinang anjuran Pakatan Rakyat.   Acara tersebut disertai oleh antara lain, ialah Pengerusi DAP Karpal Singh.

Pada petangnya pula, Nik Aziz telah mengunjungi Karpal Singh di kediamannya dan satu sambutan Hari Jadi Nik Aziz telah diadakan di situ, siap dengan kek yang mempunyai lambang ketiga-tiga parti sekutu PR.

Harakahdaily melaporkan bahawa kunjungan tersebut disambut dengan gembira oleh para penyokong Pakatan Rakyat sehingga menitiskan air mata.  Begitulah gembiranya mereka melihat persahabatan seorang yang bergelar Mursyidul Am dengan seorang penentang Islam tegar yang sebegitu erat, akrab dan bersatu hati dalam ‘berjihad’ untuk menakluki Putrajaya.

Tidak salah jika dikatakan yang kegembiraan yang dirasakan mereka adalah sama dengan kegembiraan para pembaca Malaysiakini yang ‘menyambut meriah’ pemecatan Nasharuddin Mat Isa dari Majlis Syura melalui komen-komen mereka.

Untuk pengetahuan semua, tarikh lahir Nik Aziz adalah 10 Januari 1931.  Kita tidak pasti sama ada Karpal yang telah bersedia untuk menyambut Hari Jadi Nik Aziz di rumahnya ataupun pihak Nik Aziz yang telah merancang terlebih dahulu.

Jika pihak Nik Aziz yang merancangnya, tentulah pelik kerana dalam lawatan ke utara itu, beliau dilaporkan turut mengunjungi kediaman Menteri Besar Kedah, Dato’ Seri Azizan Razak pada 27 Januari.  Oleh itu, beliau boleh saja menyambut Hari Jadinya di rumah Azizan dan bukannya di rumah Karpal.

Mungkin, tidak seperti Karpal, Azizan terlupakan tarikh hari jadi Nik Aziz.  Sebagaimana kita tahu, menyambut hari jadi yang menjadi budaya ‘Mat Saleh’ bukanlah amalan biasa bagi puak-puak PAS.   Oleh itu, kita tidak hairan jika Azizan atau Nik Aziz sendiri tidak pernah mengingati tarikh lahir anak-anak mereka dan juga isteri mereka,  jauh sekali menyambutnya.  Selain itu, PAS juga terkenal dengan sikap ‘chauvinis’ lelaki zaman dahulu yang tidak mesra dengan keluarga dan PAS masih lagi kekal begitu, walaupun pendirian parti telah berubah serta perlembagaan kafir sudah menjadi Islam.

Justeru, puak-puak PAS pun begitu terharu bila Karpal Singh mengingati tarikh lahir Tok Guru dan bersusah-payah meraikannya.  Mungkin ini pertama kali mereka memahami erti ‘penghargaan’ dari orang lain secara peribadi.   Tok Guru pastinya percaya bahawa inilah makna persahabatan sejati.

Jika begini caranya Karpal menghargai persahabatan, tidak hairanlah jika Nik Aziz lebih menghargai arahan DAP dari kehendak akar umbi PAS mahupun tuntutan Al-Quran sendiri.  Memandangkan sikap Melayu itu amat berhemah dan mengenang budi, Tok Guru tentulah akan merasa lebih ‘malu-alah’ lagi untuk menentang apa-apa pendapat atau arahan Karpal selepas ini.

Menyorot sejarah PAS di zaman pra-persahabatan dengan DAP, parti ini mengambil pendekatan ekstrem dan amat terkenal dengan sifat memusuhi bukan Islam.  Malah, Amanat Hadi yang masih menjadi kontroversi itu juga adalah bertitik-tolak dari permusuhan terhadap bukan Islam.  Pada ketika itu, telah menjadi fahaman ahli PAS bahawa terdapat satu undang-undang tidak bertulis yang perlu dipatuhi iaitu jangan sekali-kali mengundi bukan Islam walaupun sebagai wakil rakyat.  Ini menjadi faktor utama UMNO ditentang atas alasan bekerjasama dengan MCA dan MIC.

Penulis yang ketika itu hanya seorang murid sekolah juga turut merasai ‘bahang’ permusuhan PAS terhadap bukan Islam apabila seorang rakan dari keluarga PAS enggan ke majlis hari jadi rakan bukan Islam dan memandang serong kepada penulis yang menghadirinya.  Malah, jika terpaksa ke rumah rakan bukan Islam, rakan tersebut tidak akan minum air yang dihidang sedangkan air itu hanyalah air oren.

Namun, seperti yang disebut tadi, ini semua cerita lama, iaitu cerita PAS di zaman pra-persahabatan dengan DAP.  PAS kini, sudah berubah dan sudah jauh lebih terbuka berbanding UMNO sendiri.

Hari ini, UMNO sanggup mati mempertahankan agama dan bangsa, tetapi PAS pula sanggup mati dari meninggalkan DAP.   Bagi PAS, biarlah Hasan Ali mati, biar Nasharuddin dibuang asalkan DAP sayang.  Orang seperti Hasan dan Nasha tidak tahu menghargai Tok Guru dan tak pernah pun beli kek Hari Jadi untuk Tok Guru, bukan macam Karpal Singh.

Lagipun, Karpal hanya sanggup mati menentang Islam, bukan menentang Tok Guru, bukan begitu?

ANWAR’S INFLUENCE ON PAS HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL…AND HE WILL NOT STOP

For PAS at present, losing former deputy president Nasharuddin Mat Isa is nothing compared to losing partners DAP and PKR because both the parties could deliver them the Chinese and Indian votes.

PAS is confident of retaining the members and supporters vote when the party made a U-turn on the issue of using the word Allah…not actually knowing the grassroots and die-hards fundamentalist members are getting more frustrated.

The party leaders especially NIk Aziz Niki Mat playing to the gallery of Lim Guan Eng and Karpal Singh on the issue as well other issues that anger the hard core members who do not trust the two parties and their leaders.

Despite them (PAS hard core members) being loyal and follow whatever decisions taken, they are not as dumb as they look to be…they are smart now and know what is right and what is wrong.

Their distrust towards Anwar Ibrahim and DAP leaders began after 2009 when they saw Anwar’s move from outside to take control of the party that saw many leaders aligned to the fundamentalists were voted out and replaced by Anwar’s liberals.

Mohamad Sabu or Mat Sabu, a rebel rouser who is Anwar’s stooge was voted in, defeating intellectual and fundamentalist Nasharuddin, paving the way for Anwar to begin his control in PAS.

Whatever councils PAS have right now are under Anwar’s influence directly and indirectly, after having his men in the supreme council since 2009…the day PAS lost its defence without knowing it.

Since then, internally the fundamentalists have been trying to sustain their hold on  the party but the heavy presence of liberals aligned to Anwar is too much which saw president Abdul Hadi Awang giving in slowly to the pressure.

And Nasharuddin’s expulsion was one of many Anwar’s strategy to destablise PAS and make it weaker so that PKR can stand out better in the opposition pact.

What is happening in PAS now is exactly what Anwar wants…internal friction that will make the Islamic party weak and lose direction…become liberal and pluralistic.

Anwar now controls the party right up to the Syura council given the decision to expel Nasharuddin is ‘out of the blues’ as majority of the members of the council are fundamentalists who do not even trust Anwar.

Although the decision came as a surprise to many, even to Nasharuddin, the political world in the country knows Anwar has won in gaining control of PAS.

It is now up to PAS members, who are die-hard fundamentalists to bring back the party to its original objective before it becomes a real platform for Anwar to ‘cleanse himself’.

DAP Wants To Use Prince To Eliminate Royal Institution?

As part of DAP's effort to remain relevant in the society and Malaysian politics, the party has never clearly mentioned their principal which rejects Malay Royal Institution. However, to those who are aware of DAP's history, they would always be on high alert on DAP's main principle which rejects Article 153 which states Malay and Islam rights that is protected by the Royal Institution.

Even though the matter is covered by the party's leaders, DAP's principal can be seen through comments of its supporters in social networking sites which clearly hate everything that has to do with Malays. It can also be seen through DAP's constant effort in trying to weaken anything that has to do with Malays. Few of them include language and culture, which brings us to the case where DAP representatives refuse to put on traditional attire in Dewan with the excuse that it has the characteristics of Malay-Muslim.

Their excuse saying that they do hold on to the Constitution and acknowledges Royal Institution was then proven to be lies after top leadership of the party criticized Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham and Datuk Teng Chang Khim as they accepted Darjah Kebesaran awarded by Malay Royals because the action was seen as a violation to the party's principal. Rakyat however, can never fall for such thing and we are aware that the principal is made based on DAP's rejection towards Malay Royals.

When it is revealed how DAP tried to get Tunku Zain Al-'Abidin Tuanku Mukhriz to join the party by giving him the post of Chief Minister, it shows how disrespectful Dap really is towards Royal Institution. Even though the participation of a Prince to the political arena is not wrong and that it rarely happen, DAP's actions in luring him and promising the post was very disrespectful.

Especially with DAP's main principal in rejecting the Institution, the actions only shows that DAP only want to use him to raise Malay votes just so that they could again use him if the strategy works.

Perhaps many still want to deny this matter and claim that I am a racist and paranoid. But it is not wrong for us to be cautious considering that as of this moment, we still cannot guarantee that DAP would not pursue their agenda to eliminate Article 153, and Malay Royals, if PR wins the coming GE.

With PAS going weaker and PKR being too dependent to its ally, DAP might have the total power if PR leads this country. We could even see that today, only that it is not that obvious because the party needs to stay relevant in the political arena and Malaysians to win elections.

Thus, like what was mentioned above, DAP's offer to Tunku Zain, it is just a strategy to win elections. That is it.

Malays should not take DAP's main principal which goes with the slogan 'Malaysian Malaysia' lightly. Do know that the principal has never changed, it stays in the hearts of DAP supporters and leaders.

Thus, we should understand what is socialist and what is total equality and the impact to rakyat, religion and the country. Before understanding all of that, do not even think of defending DAP in this matter.

The Royals are our defence mechanism, if the Institution's insulted with such manner with post even lower than his current status, should we keep on giving our full trust to DAP?

DAP Ingin Guna Anak Raja Untuk Hapuskan Institusi Raja?

Dalam usaha DAP untuk kekal relevan dalam masyarakat dan politik Malaysia, parti itu tidak pernah menyatakan secara terus-terang akan prinsip mereka yang menentang Institusi Raja-raja Melayu.  Namun, bagi mereka yang sedia maklum mengenai sejarah DAP akan sentiasa waspada mengenai prinsip utama perjuangan DAP yang menentang Artikel 153 di mana termaktub di dalamnya hak-hak Melayu dan Islam yang dilindungi Institusi Raja-raja.

Walaupun ianya dikaburkan oleh pemimpin-pemimpinnya, tetapi prinsip DAP dapat dilihat di dalam komen-komen oleh penyokong tegar mereka di laman-laman sosial yang jelas membenci segala-galanya yang ‘berbau’ Melayu.  Ia juga terserlah dalam tindakan DAP yang senantiasa mencuba untuk melemahkan atau melenyapkan terus apa-apa saja yang berkaitan dengan Melayu.  Antaranya, bahasa dan juga budaya, yang mana membawa kepada kes wakil DAP enggan memakai pakaian adat di dalam Dewan atas alasan ia bercirikan Melayu-Islam.

Dolak-dalih konon berpegang kepada perlembagaan dan enggan mengaku menentang Institusi Raja-raja, terkantoi apabila kepimpinan tertinggi parti itu menempelak Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham dan Datuk Teng Chang Khim yang telah menerima anugerah Darjah Kebesaran oleh Raja-raja Melayu kerana tindakan itu dikira melanggar prinsip parti.   Alasan kononnya atas faktor ketelusan.   Namun, tidak semua rakyat begitu mudah terpedaya dan kita sedia maklum bahawa prinsip itu dibuat berasaskan penolakan DAP terhadap Raja-raja Melayu.

Apabila terdedah bagaimana DAP pernah cuba memancing Tunku Zain Al-'Abidin Tuanku Mukhriz untuk menyertai DAP dengan dijanjikan jawatan Menteri Besar, maka ia menunjukkan betapa DAP tidak pernah menghormati Institusi Raja-raja.  Biarpun penyertaan seorang Putera Sultan ke arena politik bukan sesuatu yang salah walaupun ia jarang berlaku, namun perlakuan DAP yang memancing dan menjanjikan jawatan kepada baginda adalah perlakuan biadap.

Apatah lagi dengan prinsip utama DAP yang tidak mengiktiraf Institusi Raja-raja, maka tindakan tersebut membawa makna bahawa DAP hanya ingin memperalatkan baginda untuk meraih undi Melayu semata-mata dengan keyakinan yang mereka dapat membonekakan baginda sekiranya strategi ini berjaya.  

Mungkin ramai yang masih ingin menepis hakikat ini dan menuduh penulis sebagai rasis dan paranoid.   Namun, tidak salah kita mengambil sikap berhati-hati memandangkan sehingga ke saat ini, kita masih tidak mendapat jaminan yang DAP tidak akan meneruskan agenda menghapuskan Artikel 153, sekali gus Raja-raja Melayu sekiranya PR memenangi PRU.  

Dengan keadaan PAS yang begitu lemah dan PKR yang terlalu bergantung kepada rakan sekutunya untuk hidup, DAP akan mempunyai kuasa mutlak jika PR berkuasa.  Malah, hari ini juga kita melihat DAP mempunyai kuasa mutlak, cumanya ia tidak ditunjukkan secara terang-terangan kerana perlu kekal relevan dalam suasana politik dan masyarakat Malaysia demi memenangi pilihanraya.

Justeru, seperti yang disebut tadi, tawaran DAP kepada Tunku Zain adalah bertitik tolak kepada strategi untuk memenangi pilihanraya semata-mata.  Kedudukan Tunku Zain dan seluruh kerabat diRaja selepas pilihanraya yang dimenangi PR pula, tentunya belum pasti.

Umat Melayu tidak wajar memandang remeh akan prinsip utama DAP yang berslogankan Malaysian Malaysia.  Ketahuilah bahawa prinsip tersebut tidak pernah berubah, malah kekal subur dan berkembang di dalam sanubari setiap seorang dari ahli dan pemimpin DAP.  

Kata orang, fahamilah asal usul dan hati budi seseorang sebelum kita bertindak membela atau bersahabat dengannya.  Begitu juga dengan DAP yang pernah terakam dalam sejarah sebagai memusuhi Islam dan Melayu, yang bertekad menghapuskan hak-hak Melayu dan yang pernah dan masih menjunjung sistem sosialis dan kesamarataan total.

Justeru, kita wajib memahami terlebih dahulu apa itu sosialis dan apa itu kesamarataan total serta kesan dan impaknya kepada umat, kepada agama dan kepada negara.  Sebelum memahami semua ini, janganlah menjadi pipi yang tersorong-sorong membela DAP dalam hal ini.

Raja-raja adalah benteng kita, jika Raja-raja juga sudah dihina sebegitu rupa dengan rasuah jawatan yang jauh lebih rendah dari kedudukan baginda, maka apakah kita masih ingin terus percaya kepada DAP?

Holy Book Reading: A Session To Promote ‘Mis-understanding of Religions’

On 27th January 2013, a session called ‘Holy Book Reading’ has been held at Dataran Pidato, Padang Kota Lama, Pulau Pinang by a so-called ‘independent’ group led by a man only known as Kevin.  The objective was to promote understanding of each others’ religions, which is good, even ‘virtuous’, if was organized properly.

But what ‘understanding’ is they talking about if none of those involved are qualified to talk about his/her own religion?  Take one person in the group, named Mislina Mustaffa, for example, a controversial D-class actress who once admitted openly that she doesn’t know what Islam really is –  imagine how would she make others understand something that even she doesn’t even know about?

Is this just one of the continuous attempts to enrage the Muslims, to promote prejudice and eventually a religious conflict and chaos? 

As we noticed, a few of those involved are known to have participated in some other demonstrations before and are very close to SUARAM, an organization known to be linked to foreign agencies involved in regime change missions around the globe. 

Therefore, it is not impossible that this ‘little’ session may not be so little, if fact, it is a huge, organized mission of changing the government, and the world.

One may ask why the Muslims are so paranoid, and may not understand why is an open discussion on Islam or religions can be so wrong?   

Well, for those with faith, I mean with true faith in his/her religion would understand that a wrong interpretation of the holy books would mean a serious misunderstanding of the religion that could lead to a devastating effect of an absolute opposite of what is taught by the religion. 

Al-Quran does not bear the words of man, but words of Allah SWT, the one and the only, the  Almighty, the Creator of the Universe.  This is evident in the words in Al-Quran about the babies in the wombs, the moon and the stars and the universe and etc. that were told even before the scientists discovered these secrets.  The Al-Quran even reminded the Muslims about the Jews and their lasting hostility towards the religion of Allah SWT and the Muslims, which is evident in what we see till this day - in Palestine and everywhere else. 

Unlike the holy books of other religions, Al-Quran is not a book that tells the story about the past, but tells us about the future from the moment it was passed down, to be used as a guide in living our lives till the end of time.     

Therefore, Al-Quran must be handled with respect and care whereby, when touching Al-Quran, one must first be clean, properly dressed and gone through a partial ablution or ‘wudu’’ which is the same washing procedure prior to perform prayers.  

And obviously, Mislina, didn’t know anything about this, judging from the way she dressed at the session.  So, what Islam or religion was she talking about?

There is a serious lack of intelligence of the people who taught that all religions are the same when they don’t even understand their own, what more each and every other religions.
 
Islam acknowledges the existence of other religions and the Al-Quran specifically tells the Muslims to respect other religions and never ridicule or insult them.  But that doesn’t mean Islam is the same as other religions because that would mean that Allah SWT. and other religions’ Gods are the same - which is the greatest unforgiveable sin of all.

People like Mislina and her ‘tiny’ group must have failed to understand the facts that all religions call for the same good values and morality as well as good behaviors and intentions, does not mean that Allah, Jesus, The Hindu Gods and Goddess or the Buddhist Gods must be the same. 

Allah SWT is the one and only.  Jesus is three in one.  Hindu Gods and Goddess come in numbers.  They can never be the same and can never be one even if all of these Gods and Allah SWT call for the same good values, morality and intentions. 

What even more mind boggling is that, none of these religions give a green light or an ‘okay’ to LGBT, but the reading session group seems to be forcing the idea to themselves and others.  

So, who is this group kidding?  Other people? Themselves?  God?  The reading session wasn’t at all about understanding religions but it’s about leading people to misunderstand and to disregard religions.  

For their information, Pluralism is not a religion, it’s about living without religion.   But maybe this is just too complicated for the group to understand. 

Therefore, I strongly suggest the Islamic bodies to help those in the group who called themselves Muslims, to understand Islam in its true sense.  Please don’t let these people drift away believing that their ignorance is a ‘form’ of intelligence.

Pakatan Rakyat Hina Hamas

Kesediaan Perdana Menteri, Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak dan anggota rombongannya mengambil risiko besar dengan melawat Semenanjung Gaza, Palestin minggu lalu sehingga kini masih dipertikaikan dan diperlekehkan oleh pakatan pembangkang.

Dalam lawatan itu, PM dan rombongan termasuklah isterinya, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansur serta Ahli Parlimen Bebas, Zulkifli Noordin dan bekas Timbalan Presiden PAS, Ustaz Nasharudin telah meluangkan masa beberapa jam untuk melihat sendiri kesan keganasan oleh rejim zionis Israel terhadap rakyat Palestin.

Di masa yang sama PM juga mengikrarkan kesediaan Malaysia untuk menjadi orang tengah dalam usaha meneruskan penyatuan Hamas dan Fatah demi kebaikan Palestin itu sendiri, disamping meneruskan bantuan kemanusiaan.

Nyata sekali keprihatinan PM tidak disenangi oleh juak-juak bawahan mahupun pucuk pimpinan PR, masing-masing cuba memberi perspesktif negatif sekalipun menyedari saat ini rakyat Palestin khususnya di Gaza terlalu mendambakan sokongan umat Islam untuk terus cekal menghadapi kezaliman Israel.

Tidak terkecuali sebuah blog pro PR yang sering menimbulkan isu kontroversi iaitu suarapakatanrakyat.com turut sama mengulasnya secara negatif semata-mata untuk meremehkan lawatan bersejarah pemimpin utama negara ke Palestin.

Blog itu yang dipercayai mempunyai hubungan rapat dengan Anwar Ibrahim dan cukup mengagumi karisma kepimpinan Ketua Umum PKR itu, dalam salah satu artikelnya tanpa berselindung menyifatkan lawatan Najib ke Gaza adalah satu tindakan yang memalukan negara.

Dikaitkannya kejatuhan sementara pasaran BSKL kononnya berpunca dari lawatan tersebut sekalipun hakikatnya kejatuhan tersebut hanyalah proses biasa pasaran saham yang ada tikanya naik dan turun. Tapi disebabkan busuk hati punya pasal maka dijadikanlah lawatan PM sebagai penyebabnya.

Lebih menjelikkan lagi bila mana blog tersebut juga mempertikaikan usaha Malaysia dan masyarakat antarabangsa untuk menyatukan Hamas dan Fatah sebagai usaha yang sia-sia dan tidak layak pun dilaksanakan oleh Dato' Seri Najib.

Mungkin blog itu tidak mengetahui sejarah penglibatan negara ini dalam pelbagai urusan antarabangsa yang terbukti keberkesanannya termasuklah yang terbaru mencipta sejarah penting dalam membantu menyelesaikan konflik di Filipina membabitkan MILF dengan Kerajaan Filipina.

Selain itu, tindakan penulis blog suarapakatanrakyat melabelkan Hamas sebagai pihak pengganas malah mencela tindakan Dato' Seri Najib menerima penghormatan Ijazah Doktor Falsafah dari Universiti Al-Aqsa, Gaza yang digelarnya sebagai universiti yang membiakkan aktiviti keganasan.

Hamas yang istiqamah berjuang melawan kezaliman Israel demi memerdekakan tanahair Palestin digelar pengganas dan Universiti yang menjadi tempat anak-anak Palestin menimba ilmu demi membangunkan negara dipanggil universiti pengganas.

Ini jelas satu penghinaan bukan sahaja terhadap Hamas yang telah sekian banyak menabur jasa menentang kekejaman Israel malah menghina seluruh rakyat Palestin.

Tapi bila difikirkan semula, sebenarnya tiada apa mahu dihairankan dengan penghinaan yang dilemparkan oleh blog itu. Pendirian yang dinukilkan itu jelas seiring dengan ikrar yang dilafazkan oleh idolanya, Anwar Ibrahim yang pernah berjanji untuk menjaga dan mempertahankan keselamatan negara Israel. Bapak borek anak rintik.

PAS SEMAKIN JUMUD BERTINDAK KE ATAS NASHARUDDIN

Akhirnya Pas mengambil tindakan terhadap bekas Timbalan Presidennya, Nasharuddin Mat Isa dengan menggugurkan beliau daripada keanggotaan Majlis Syura Ulama parti itu.

Keputusan itu sememangnya sudah dijangka dan tidak mengejutkan hanya persoalan mengapa Pas mengambil masa begitu lama untuk bertindak ke atas Ahli Parlimen Bachok itu.

Sejak Nasharuddin kalah kepada Mohamad Sabu untuk mempertahankan jawatannya dalam pemilihan semasa Muktamar Tahunan Pas ke 57 pada tahun 2011 dan sejak itu beliau telah banyak bermuhasabah diri mengenai isu perpaduan umat Melayu di negara ini.

Sikap Nasharuddin yang lunak dalam isu perpaduan dengan UMNO menjengkelkan malah menaikkan bulu kening pemimpin-pemimpin Pas terutamanya Murshidul Am, Nik Aziz Nik Mat.

Kepada Nik Aziz dan geng Anwarinas, Nasharruddin dilabel sebagai pengkhianat kerana berkawan dengan UMNO.

Malah heboh pada tahun 2009 isu kerajaan perpaduan yang dipelopori oleh kumpulan UG atau Unity Government yang mahukan kerjasama politik dengan UMNO demi kesatuan dan mengukuhkan posisi politik orang Melayu di Malaysia.

Nasharuddin adalah antara tokoh utama UG disamping Presiden Pas, Abdul Hadi Awang tetapi malangnya Nik Aziz telah berjaya mempengaruhi pimpinan parti untuk menolah inisiatif UG.

Sejak itu Nasharuddin menggangap dirinya seperti melukut di tepi gantang, disisih oleh partinya sendiri.

Malah beliau sendiri sebagai Pengerusi Lajnah Hubungan Antarabangsa dan Hal Ehwal Luar Pas dikatakan tidak pernah menghadiri mana-mana mesyuarat ang diadakan.

Beliau sebaliknya menumpukan perhatian mengetuai sebuah badan swadaya yang dipanggil Pengerusi Lembaga Pengarah Yayasan Al-Quds Malaysia.

Atas kapasiti itu Nasharuddin sering kelihatan bersama Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak dan ini telah menaikkan darah Nik Aziz dan sekutu-sekutunya yang pro-Anwar atau Anwarinas.

Gambar beliau bersama Perdana Menteri di Mekah bertemu dengan ulama-ulama di kota suci itu telah menjadi heboh di kalangan ahli Pas.

Nik Aziz lebih sakit hati apabila melihat Nasharuddin menemani Datuk Seri Najib semasa lawatan sehari ke Semenanjung Gaza baru-baru ini.

Mungkin itu menjadi 'the straw that breaks the camel's back' atau penyudah kepada perbuatan 'khianat' Nasharuddin terhadap partinya, lantas beliau dikeluarkan daripada badan tertinggi penentu dasar dan halatuju parti itu.

Nik Aziz juga berang dengan Nasharuddin yang sebelum ini menggesa Pas mengkaji semula kerjasama parti itu dengan PKR dan Dap dalam Pakatan Rakyat.

Beliau juga berlaga angin pendirian Pakatan Rakyat dan Pengerusi Dap Kebangsaan, Karpal Singh mengenai isu hudud.

Tindakan ke atas Nasharuddin didakwa berlawanan dengan semangat 'jemaah' tetapi hakikatnya Pas adalah sebuah parti yang jumud dengan aliran pemikiran yang beku dan kaku.

Parti itu berlagak seperti hero Islam malah nama agama dipakai pada nama parti tetapi sebenarnya kepentingan politik Nik Aziz yang diperjuangan, bukan parti, ahli mahupun umat Islam.

Pas iri hati dan cemburu apabila melihat pemimpinnya seperti Nasharuddin bersikap bebas dan tidak terikat dengan budaya parti yang menjadikan UMNO sebagai musuh tradisi untuk selama-lamanya.

Inilah pemikiran yang dibawa oleh Nik AZiz dan dipaksa ke atas pas menjadikan parti iaitu sebuah organisasi siyasah yang statik dan progresif.

Nasharuddin seorang pemimpin Pas yang berfikiran terbuka serta mempunyai pandangan jauh berkaitan perpaduan Islam.

Bagi beliau perbezaan peendekatan politik yang diambil oleh UMNO dan Pas tidak bermakna perpaduan tidak boleh dicapai melalui kaedah lain.

Inilah yyang dilakukan olehnya apabila sanggup bersama-sama Perdana Menteri demi agenda memartabatkan kepentingan Islam.

Jika Nik Aziz berfikiran terbuka dan berlapang dada, apa salahnya Nasharuddin berganding bahu bersama pemimpin kerajaan Barisan Nasional demi perjuangan rakyat Palestin?

Juga apa salahnya Nasharuddin menjadi perantara bagi Perdana Menteri dalam pertemuannya dengan ulama-ulama tersohor Mekah?

Tetapi bagi Nik Aziz dan kuncu-kuncunya perbuatan Nasharuddin adalah antara dosa paling besar, malah kalau berdasarkan 'Amanat Haji Hadi, sudah tentu beliau boleh dijatuhkan hukum kafir!

Pecat Nasha: Rakyat Gembira Usaha Najib Satukan Palestin, Kecuali PAS

Kunjungan Perdana Menteri ke Palestine baru-baru ini mendapat reaksi positif rakyat Malaysia.   Ia juga mengukuhkan lagi pandangan luar terhadap Malaysia sebagai negara yang benar-benar serius dan tidak hanya beretorik dalam memperjuangkan keamanan dunia.  

Biarpun kunjungan tersebut disambut sinis oleh pihak pembangkang, iaitu kononnya sebagai publisiti atau modal politik pilihanraya, tetapi yang penting, satu usaha ke arah keamanan telah pun berjaya dimulakan.  

Mengambilkira penderitaan penduduk Palestin dan hakikat keganasan Israel yang berlarutan sehingga berdekad-dekad, menuduh kunjungan Perdana Menteri sebagai mencari publisiti murah membuktikan yang pihak pembangkang langsung tidak prihatin, malah lemas dalam politiking merebut kuasa. 

Ini kerana kunjungan tersebut merupakan satu langkah berani di pihak Perdana Menteri dan isteri, yang nekad berkunjung ke ‘medan perang’, mengambil risiko ke atas keselamatan diri dan nyawa, demi menerima jemputan pihak Palestine yang bersungguh-sungguh meminta bantuan Malaysia untuk mencari titik kefahaman antara Hamas dan Fatah.  

Hanya dengan perdamaian kedua pihak ini maka kekuatan akan dapat dicapai bagi mempertahankan negara dan rakyat Palestine dari keganasan dan pencerobohan rejim Israel.  

Oleh itu, komitmen Dato’ Seri Najib untuk membantu saudara seagama, tidak wajar dilihat dari sudut politik semata-mata.   Ia seharusnya dilihat sebagai isu umat Islam sejagat, isu global dan isu agama oleh semua umat Islam tanpa mengira negara atau bangsa dan jauh sekali parti politik. 

Walaubagaimanapun, pandangan sinis pembangkang ke atas usaha menyatukan parti politik di Palestine sebenarnya tidaklah menghairankan.  Ini kerana PAS, iaitu salah satu parti di dalam Pakatan Rakyat yang kononnya memperjuangkan Islam, cukup sinonim dengan perpecahan. 

Bukan kita tidak tahu bahawa antara ‘kepantangan’ di dalam PAS ialah penyatuan ummah.   Kita juga tahu ada penyokong PAS yang rela mati memerangi saudara seagama atas apa saja alasan demi untuk melihat partinya bertakhta di Putrajaya.  

Oleh yang demikian, kita tidak hairan apabila PAS langsung tidak berkongsi harapan dan kebanggaan yang dirasai oleh rakyat Malaysia yang lainnya, atas usaha Perdana Menteri untuk menyatukan umat Islam di Palestine. 

Sikap PAS yang amat memusuhi ‘penyatuan ummah’ ini terserlah dengan pemecatan Ustaz Nasharuddin Mat Isa dari Majlis Syura Ulama yang diumumkan sejurus selepas beliau pulang dari Palestine mengiringi Perdana Menteri.   

Terbuktilah sudah buat kesekian kalinya, bahawa bagi PAS, segala-galanya adalah politik, dan tiada yang lain selain politik dan politik semata-mata - termasuk nasib umat Islam Palestine.   Justeru, tindakan Ustaz Nasha mengiringi Perdana Menteri ke Gaza, dianggap PAS sebagai tindakan membelot kepada parti.  

Mungkin inilah yang dimaksudkan oleh Hadi Awang dalam Amanatnya yang melarang memisahkan agama dan politik iaitu; menyuruh umat Islam agar merangkumkan agama ke dalam politik sehingga politiklah yang menjadi panduan kepada agama, dan bukan sebaliknya. 

Atas pegangan inilah maka kita melihat ketika umat Islam di Palestine diserang, dan umat Islam di seluruh dunia mendoakan keselamatan mereka, PAS pula berdoa agar UMNO K.O. 

Tidak dapat dinafikan lagi bahawa bukan Perdana Menteri, tetapi PASlah yang menjadikan Palestine sebagai alat politik untuk mencari publisiti semata-mata dengan menggembar-gemburkan kisah kononnya mereka turut membantu serta menyebarkan gambar-gambar bendera parti mereka yang berkibar di sana.    Namun, tiada pemimpin PAS yang berani ataupun mampu berbuat apa-apa untuk membantu Palestine secara bersungguh-sungguh.  Manakala, apabila ada pemimpin mereka yang berpeluang bekerjasama dengan kerajaan pusat untuk berbuat demikian, seperti Ustaz Nasharuddin Mat Isa pula, dianggap sebagai membelot. 

Apapun, kita bangga menjadi umat Islam warga Malaysia yang mana kerajaannya cukup kukuh untuk bersuara lantang dan negaranya cukup makmur untuk menghulurkan bantuan bagi memperjuangkan keamanan, terutama di negara Islam.   Lebih dari itu, kita juga bangga mempunyai pemimpin yang berani, bijak dan ikhlas yang tetap berjaya membawa Malaysia ke tahap ini walaupun masyarakat diancam perpecahan akibat ada di antara kita yang termakan hasutan syaitan.

UMNO Perlu Kuasai Perang Siber

Dr. Mahathir Selar Pihak Mempolitikkan Inisiatif

Dismissing Nasha: Rakyat Are Happy With Najib's Effort On Palestine, Except For PAS

The Prime Minister's visit to Palestine recently has been gaining positive response from Malaysians. It strengthen Malaysia's image as a country which is serious in fighting for peace instead of just being rhetoric in its fight for peace.

Even though the visit was seen negatively by the opposition, saying that it is just another one of the government's election publicity, the important thing here is that it is an effort to achieve peace, and it begins now.

Looking at all the sufferings faced by Palestinians due to all the attacks from Israel, making claims saying that the Prime Minister's visit is just another publicity proves that the opposition is not even concerned with the matter.

This is because, the visit is a daring effort taken by the Prime Minister and wife, where they decided to head over to a 'warzone', taking risk over their own safety and lives, to accept the invitation given by Palestine seeking for help from Malaysia to unite Hamas and Fatah.

Only with the union, people of Palestine will be able to fight for their country against the terrorism and invasion done by the Israeli regime.

That is why, Dato’ Seri Najib's commitment in helping other Muslims, should not be taken as a political issue. It should be seen as an issue surrounding all Muslims around the world.

However, the opposition's response is not a surprise. This is because, PAS, an 'islamic' party within Pakatan Rakyat, does not really support the spirit of union.

Not that we don't know PAS does not support in uniting ummah, we also know that some PAS supporters would rather die fighting their brothers just as long as they could see their party get to Putrajaya.

That is why we are not surprised when PAS do not even share the same pride which Malaysians felt, over the Prime Minister's effort in uniting Muslims in Palestine.

PAS' behavior can clearly be seen through their actions when they sacked Ustaz Nasharuddin Mat Isa from their Syura Ulama Council which was announced soon after he got back from Palestine escorting the Prime Minister.

This proves that to PAS, everything is politics, that is it. Thus, Ustaz Nasha's actions in escorting the Prime Minister to Gaza is viewed by PAS as treason.

Perhaps this is what Hadi Awang meant on his message where he prohibit the separation of religion and politics; asking Muslims to include religion to politics which then becomes their guideline for religion, instead of the other way round.

That is why as we see how Muslims in Palestine getting attacked, and while Muslims around pray for their safety, PAS prayed for UMNO to go K.O.

There is no doubt that instead of the Prime Minister, PAS is the one who used Palestine as their political game to look for publicity by saying that they helped as well, by just waving their party's flag there.

However, not even a single PAS leaders have the guts to do anything to really help Palestine. And when one of its leaders tried to be serious in helping Palestine, Ustaz Nasharuddin Mat Isa for instance, he is  seen as a traitor.

Whatever it is, we are proud to be Malaysian Muslims where the government is stable enough to help in fighting for peace, especially in Islamic states. We are also proud to have a smart, brave and sincere leader who managed to get Malaysia to this stage even if some Malaysians are threatened with issues against one another thanks to the work of the devil.

NAJIB’S SUCCES IN GAZA AND DAVOS PUTS ANWAR AND OPPOSITIONS FURTHER IN A CORNER

Coming home to a hero’s welcome with no less than 10,000 Malaysians at KLIA, Prime Minister Najib Tun  Razak has succeeded in putting Malaysia in the world’s map as a moderate country that loves peace and a country with plentiful opportunities for businesses.

Hitting two birds with one stone – the visit to Gaza and the WEF in Davos – Najib has shown to the world that Malaysia is a country that is accommodating and tolerant while same time vibrant in its economic development.

Najib’s visit to Gaza was to see by himself the situation there where the Palestinians have been under ‘inhuman onslaught’ of the Israelis and living in fear every day and night.

His success in his visit has created uneasiness among the oppositions back home particularly Anwar Ibrahim who is a ‘buddy’ to Israel and same time trying to curb or prevent investments to Malaysia.

Anwar has been painting a ‘black Malaysia’ to every country in the world, hoping he could ‘cruise’ he way to Putrajaya, the position he has been dreaming and having nightmares.

Najib’s visit to Gaza ‘to see with his own eyes the state of being of the besieged Palestinians, and had wanted to visit both Gaza and the West Bank but was unable to do so due to the volatile political situations there.

"The Israeli gave an indication that we have to recognise the state for a visit to the West Bank, but the price is too high.  And Abu Mazen understood this.  Our visit was purely humanitarian, nothing more nothing less," he had said.

But Anwar was quick to lie that Najib's visit had incurred the wrath of Abu Mazen, another name for the Fatah's leader Mahmoud Abas, an attempt to create anger among thinking Malaysians on Najib’s visit.

Anwar cannot do like what Najib did because he is a ‘buddy’ of Israel and a word from him supporting Palestine will incur the wrath of his Israel master, and condemning Malaysia in the eyes of the world has apparently backfired, if viewed at the success of Najib’s performance in Davos where the world’s business circle had shown much interest in Malaysia.

Anwar’s ‘jealousy and hatred’ got worse when American media played up Najib’s visit to Gaza and the overwhelming reception Najib received in Davos, contrary to Anwar’s expectation as he has all along thought Najib and Malaysia would get the ‘cold shoulder treatment from the world community’ following his (Anwar) campaign against the Prime Minister and Malaysia.

And with no less than 10,000 Malaysians welcomed Najib’s return at the airport, Anwar’s feeling went down, hopes for brighter days ahead dashed as he saw Najib surrounded and cheered by the crowd.

Given the success of Najib’s visit, Anwar and the oppositions are further pushed to the corner as the general election draws nearer as Malaysians, thinking Malaysians who are voters are fast abandoning the ‘purported idealism’ propagated by the oppositions.’

PAS ACTION AGAINST NASHARUDDIN ERODES ITS CREDIBILITY TO DIE-HARDS FUNDAMENTLISTS

PAS is now playing second fiddle in the opposition’s alliance as the party heeded the call to have former deputy president and member of the Syura council Nasharudin Mat Isa expelled.

Nasharuddin could not have been expelled at a better time since he was beside Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak during the premier’s visit to Gaza and participation at WEF in Davos, so the excuse is there…Nasharuddin has fallen out of line of the party leadership.

However, the truth of the matter is everybody’s knowledge – the party Syura Council and Ulamak chief Nik Aziz Nik Mat – had to tow the line of Pakatan Rakyat that Nasharuddin is a torn in the flesh as the three parties strategise to take over Putrajaya.

Nasharuddin, whose aim is to see the Malays who are Muslims united although possessing different political ideologies, has been marked by PKR de facto chief Anwar Ibrahim since he was deputy president of PAS for being closely associated with Umno and BN.

Nasharuddin and former PAS vice-president Dr Hassan Ali had been the obstacles to Anwar’s dream of controlling the party from outside, the only Malay-based party he could put his hands on.

Nasharuddin had survived expulsion when he lost to Anwar’s man Mohamad Sabu or Mat Sabu in 2009 party election when Anwar managed to get most of his men in the party leadership line-up that included Husam Musa.

But at that time, Anwar could not do much to rid PAS of the fundamentalists hold as president Abdul Hadi Awang and secretary-general Mustapha Ali are still ‘fundamentalists die-hards” and the Syura Council members especially Dr Harun Taib and Dr Harun Din were all fundamentalists, holding on to the party’s mission since the 50s.

However, this time around, they seem to be bending down to pressure from DAP and Anwar personally as the action they took against Nasharuddin, although expected, is so swift or fast.

Despite Nasharuddin ‘overstaying his welcome’ in the party, the action is read as PAS allowing itself to be ‘dictated’ by DAP and PKR despite it (PAS) being the strongest party in the opposition pact.

The party has been trying hard, that is the veteran fundamentalists, not to allow Anwar to control it but given the latest leadership’s decision, the party seems to have mellowed or ‘under threat’.

In short, despite all the upheavals and issues that are against Islam and Muslims, PAS seems to have no choice but to tow the line of the opposition pact, which inevitably erodes its influence among die-hard fundamentalists members and supporters.

Even now, die-hard fundamentalist are demonstrating against DAP and calling for the party to break away from the opposition pact on issues concerning the use of word ALLAH.

PAS is now in a ‘Catch 22’ position – if the party does not tow the line it will be left alone in the coming general election and if it follows every tune the opposition pact dance, it would lose its support.

Given the situation, PAS is expected to play the balancing act as it does not want to lose the opportunity to have its president Abdul Hadi as Prime Minster, the post it will have to ‘fight it out’ with Anwar, if the opposition wins the general election.

Tourism Industry Needs To Focus On Quality Than On Tourist Arrivals -- Sabaruddin

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 29 (Bernama) -- The tourism industry needs to re-look at what it wants to achieve and focus more on quality than on tourist arrivals, said former Tourism Minister, Tan Sri Sabaruddin Chik.

He said based on recent statistics, while the number of tourist arrivals had increased substantially over the years, the occupancy rates in hotels had remained relatively unchanged.

"We need to focus on creating jobs for our people. This is what we should be focusing on and not just on the number of tourist arrivals," he said at the Kuala Lumpur Tourism Association tea reception in conjunction with its Golden Jubilee celebration.

Former managing director of Malaysia Airlines, Tan Sri Aziz Rahman, said the tourism industry needed to ensure that tourists will have a pleasant experience and continue to remember their stay in this country.

"The tourism industry in this country also need to upgrade skills. The government and private sector can team up to upgrade them," he said.

Aziz said another key issue was security and safety.

"A tourist that got pickpocked, things snatched or lost belongings in the hotel room is a bad experience and the news will spread fast," he said.

BN TETAP PILIHAN DI HATI PENGUNDI PADA PRU13

Kajian Pusat Kajian Demokrasi dan Pilihan Raya Universiti Malaya (UMCEDEL) menjurus kepada pola pengundian yang menunjukkan Barisan Nasional akan terus diyakini rakyat untuk memenangi Pilihan Raya Umum ke 13 yang bakal diumumkan pada bila-bila masa sahaja.

Statistik kaji selidik UMCEDEL menunjukkan BN mendahului Pakatan Rakyat dengan lima mata peratusan.

BN memperolehi 42 peratus  berbanding 37 peratus yang memberikan keyakinan kepada PR berdasarkan kepada soal selidik ke atas saiz sampel 1,409 pengundi.

Malah pemimpin BN berpendapat bukan sahaja parti pemerintah akan menang besar tetapi juga akan berjaya merangkul kembali majoriti dua pertiga di Dewan Rakyat.

Keyakinan ini bukanlah cakap-cakap kosong kedai kopi tetapi berlandaskan kepada fakta dan realiti di peringkat akar umbi pengundi.

Sikap keterbukaan dan pendekatan inovatif pentadbiran Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Naji Tun Razak merupakan dua faktor amat penting yang menyumbang kepada keyakinan rakyat kepada BN.

Walaupun pihak pembangkang saban hari membangkitkan pelbagai isu yang didakwa bersabit dengan rasuah dan penyelewengan tetapi rakyat terutamanya pengundi bijak memilih di antara kaca dan permata.

Apa yang mereka sekarang lihat dan nikmati adalah hasil pro-aktif kepemimpinan cemerlang yang ditunjukkan oleh Perdana Menteri dalam memperjuang serta menjaga kebajikan rakyat.

Daripada perbelanjaan isu rumah, pendidikan, kebajikan pelajar, warga emas, pemandu teksi, golongan karyawan, agamawan dan nelayan hinggalah kepada golongan peniaga serta usahawan, semuanya kini sedang menikmati hasil bermacam-macam program yang dilancarkan oleh Datuk Seri Najib.

Boleh dikatakan tidak ada lapisan masyarakat atau golongan rakyat yang disisahkan daripada menerima bantuan dalam pelbagai bentuk dan rupa.

Program BR1M 1.0 dan 2.0 yang dituduh pembangkang yang kekeringan isu sebagai rasuah politik menerima respons yang sungguh menakjubkan.

Begitu juga lain-lain program KR1M, Klinik 1 Malaysia, TR1M, KD1M yang terbit daripada dua program transformasi kerajaan - Program Transformasi Pentadbiran dan Program Transformasi Ekonomi.

Mentadbir sebuah negara majmuk seperti Malaysia dengan 1001 kerenah daripada setiap kaum yang berlatar belakangkan etnik, agama, bahasa, budaya serta pandangan dunia yang berbeza bukanlah suatu yang mudah.

BN telah berjaya mengangkat serta menobatkan martabat negara dari semua susut pembangunan - ekonomi, politik dan sosial - daripada sebuah negara berasaskan pertanian kepada negara industri yang mennuju kepada status negara maju menjelang 2020.

Segala yang telah dicapai sehingga kini bakal hancur dan musnah jika negara berada di dalam tangan pembangkang.

Ini kerana asas politik pembangkang adalah kebencian dan perpecahan serta memporak perandakan negara demi untuk memperolehi kuasa politik.

Pembangkang tidak peduli tentang aspek keselamatan negara mahupun kedaulatannya kerana apa yang penting bagi mereka ialah merampas Putrajaya dengan menimbulkan kekacauan dan huru hara.

Ini terbukti dengan siri demonstrasi dan tunjuk perasaan yang sering diadakan sejak PRU 2008 kononnya untuk memperjuangkan hak rakyat.

Sebenarnya bukan rakyat yang menjadi fokus gerakan pembangkang.

Rakyat hanya dimobilisasikan sebagai satu gerakan massa bagi kepentingan politik pemimpin-pemimpin pembangkang dalam Pakatan Rakyat yang masing-masing mempunyai halatuju dan ideologi yang berbeza.

Walaupun kajian UMCEDEL menunjukkan sejumlah 78 peratus daripada saiz sampel pengundi dalam soal selidik yang dijalankan mengatakan, integriti dan salahguna kuasa pemimpin BN memberi kesan kepada sokongan pengundi dalam pilihan raya umum, namun ini ada hanyalah masalah persepsi yang telah dicorakkan dalam pemikiran rakyat oleh pembangkang.

Akhirnya rakyat akan menunjukkan kematangan di peti undi bila mana mereka mampu membandingkan dengan fikiran dan hati yang terbuka kehidupan yang telah mereka nikmati sepanjang pemerintahan BN.

Mereka juga akan membandingkan janji-janji kosong pembangkang yang tidak mampu dilaksanakan serta lebih indah khabar dari rupa.

Hasil kaji selidik Universiti Malaya itu yang menunjukkan 53 peratus masyarakat Cina masih “tidak pasti” untuk memilih parti mana pada PRU 13 juga seharusnya tidak perlu dibimbangi.

Pengundi Cina melihat politik sebagai satu bentuk perniagaan yang mengutamakan aspek keuntungan lebih daripada unsur yang lain.

Walaupun mungkin wujud beberapa isu yang menjadi kebimbangan kepada mereka, pengundi Cina perniagaan akan bertindak seperti peniaga yang akan memastikan kerajaan yang mereka pilih mampu memberi suasana perniagaan yang stabil, kompetitif dan aman daripada segala halangan yang membantutkan ekonomi mereka.

Pembangkang mungkin boleh bermulut manis menabur segala macam janji termasuk ada yang tidak masuk akal sama sekali tetapi rakyat akan tetap memilih BN yang rasional, komited, berwawasan serta sentiasa menepati janjinya.

Lepas Damaikan Filipina-Bangsa Moro, Najib Bakal Damaikan Fatah-Hamas

Walaupun Malaysia belum lagi menjadi negara maju, tetapi negara ini berada di kelasnya yang tersendiri sebagai negara yang berpengaruh dan dihormati.  Pendirian Malaysia yang konsisten dan tegas untuk tidak mencampuri urusan negara lain, tetapi menyokong dan membantu segala usaha ke arah keamanan membuatkan kita sering dipilih sebagai rujukan atau pengantara bagi memulihkan keamanan di negara-negara yang berkonflik.

Pendirian Malaysia adalah konsisten sejak era Tun Abdul Razak.  Pendirian ini mendapat kekuatan yang ampuh di era Tun Mahathir apabila beliau melonjakkan Malaysia sepuluh langkah ke hadapan sehingga dikenali sebagai Harimau Asia.

Perdana Menteri kita, Dato’ Seri Najib jelas mewarisi kehebatan bapanya serta kebijaksanaan Tun Mahathir melalui pengalaman bekerja di era Negarawan tersebut, pantas memperbaharui, meneruskan dan meningkatkan kekuatan yang sedia ada.   Semangat kedua-dua tokoh tersebut jelas terserlah dalam kepimpinan Dato’ Seri Najib apabila beliau berjaya menggerakan perjanjian damai antara kerajaan Filipina - MILF pada Oktober 2012.   Dengan termeterainya perjanjian itu, konflik selama 40 tahun pun berakhir.

Kejayaan tersebut membawa Dato’ Seri Najib ke Gaza pula, di mana penindasan terhadap rakyat Palestin oleh rejim Israel berterusan.  Beliau dan anggota rombongannya termasuk Datin Seri Rosmah tiba di Semenanjung Gaza, Palestin pada 22 Januari bagi memenuhi jemputan rasmi Presiden Palestin, Mahmoud Abbas dan undangan peribadi daripada Perdana Menteri Palestin, Ismail Haniyeh.

Jemputan dari Mahmoud Abbas itu disampaikan kepada Dato' Seri Najib pada 3 Disember 2012 melalui Timbalan Pesuruhjaya Hubungan Antarabangsa Al Fatah Palestin, Dr Abdullah M.I. Abdullah. Manakala undangan daripada Ismail Haniyeh diterima pada 11 Disember 2012.

Sebelum ini, Palestin telah beberapa kali menyuarakan harapan kepada Malaysia untuk turut membantu membawa keamanan kepada rakyatnya.

Menghentikan penindasan yang mana tercatat di dalam AlQuran dalam pesanan mengenai Yahudi, pastinya tidak mudah.  Langkah awal yang perlu dilakukan ialah meningkatkan kekuatan Palestin terlebih dahulu dengan menyatukan rakyatnya yang berpecah kepada dua, iaitu parti Hamas dan Fatah.

Konflik kedua-dua parti ini bermula pada 2005 selepas kematian Yasser Arafat pada November 11, 2004.  Punca konflik ini juga begitu ‘klasik’ atau terlalu biasa dan dijangka iaitu tuduhan atau hasutan kononnya berlaku nepotisme dan rasuah di dalam kerajaan.  Akibatnya, rakyat Palestin berpecah di mana kedua-dua parti menganggap parti mereka sebagai wakil sah rakyat Palestin dengan Fatah berkuasa di Palestinian National Authority dan Hamas di Gaza.

Pertempuran juga sering berlaku antara kedua-dua pihak ini yang mana menggandakan lagi penderitaan rakyat yang telah sedia tertindas oleh rejim Israel.

Beberapa perjanjian pernah diusahakan antara kedua-dua pihak, antaranya di Kaherah pada May 2011 tetapi tidak berjaya memastikan kedua-dua pihak menurutinya.  Perjanjian Doha kemudiannya ditandatangani oleh Mahmud Abbas (Fatah) dan Haled Mashaal (Hamas) pada 2012 tetapi dianggap sebagai tergendala dan tiada usaha dibuat ke arah pilihanraya bersama.  Kedua-dua parti saling tuduh menuduh dan pertelagahan pun berterusan.

Seperti mana-mana konflik yang melibatkan kepentingan Israel, kedua-dua pihak disyaki menerima bekalan senjata dari Amerika untuk memastikan mereka terus berpecah dan lemah.

Justeru, harapan yang diletakkan di bahu Dato’ Seri Najib ialah untuk membantu kedua-dua pihak membantu diri mereka dengan pertama sekali, bersatu.  Apa yang pasti, harapan agar beliau mengulangi kejayaan di Filipina, di Gaza bukanlah harapan yang tidak berasas.

Ini kerana, Dato’ Seri Najib terkenal sebagai pemimpin yang berani di mana beliau pernah melawat ke kawasan tegang di Selatan Thailand untuk mengusahakan gencatan senjata antara puak pemisah dengan kerajaan Thai.   Beliau juga merupakan antara penggerak keamanan di Bosnia pada tahun 1993 dan juga Somalia.

Di kala negara-negara lain mengalami kerosakan dan kemusnahan akibat perang saudara, perpecahan antara kaum dan pemberontakan menentang kerajaan akibat termakan hasutan, Malaysia yang mempunyai landskap yang rapuh, bermasyarakat majmuk dan telah berkali-kali menghadapi ‘ugutan’ pemberontakan dari pihak-pihak tertentu, kekal berdiri teguh, aman dan makmur.  Segala provokasi agama, prasangka kaum dan perbalahan sesama umat Islam yang tercetus dari hasutan secara berterusan dengan matlamat untuk mencetuskan kekacauan, telah tidak menjadi.    

Tidak keterlaluan jika dikatakan bahwa kebijaksanaan kepimpinan Dato’ Seri Najib merupakan faktor utama kemampuan Malaysia untuk menepis ‘serangan’ pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab itu.  Oleh itu, kita tidak ragu-ragu yang Dato’ Seri Najib juga akan dapat membantu Palestin untuk turut ‘menepis’ hasutan ke arah perpecahan dan melakukan yang terbaik untuk mencapai perpaduan.

After Reconciling Philippines - Moro Tribe, Najib Will Reconcile Fatah-Hamas

Even though Malaysia is still yet to be a developed country, it stands on its own class as an influential and respected country. Malaysia's consistent stand in not intervening with matters from other countries, but supports the fight for peace has turned this country as an option for reference or mediator to restore peace in countries that are under conflict.

The stand has been around since the era of Tun Abdul Razak. It began to gain more strength during the era of Tun Mahathir as he brought this country 10 steps further that it is later known as the Tiger of Asia.

Our Prime Minister, Dato’ Seri Najib clearly inherits his father's legacy as he managed to champion the peace agreement between Philippines  - MILF on October 2012. With the agreement, the 40 year conflict was finally resolved.

The success then led Dato’ Seri Najib to Gaza, where the oppression against people of Palestine by Israeli regime gets worse. The Prime Minister and members of his entourage including Datin Seri Rosmaha arrived in Gaza, Palestine on January 22 after receiving invitation from the President of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas as well as a personal invitation from Palestine's Prime Minister, Ismail Haniyeh.

The invitation from Mahmoud Abbas was conveyed to Dato' Seri Najib on December 3, 2012 through Palestine's Al Fatah Deputy Commissioner for International Relations, Dr Abdullah M.I. Abdullah while the invitation from Ismail Haniyeh aws received on December 11, 2012.

Previously, Palestine had expressed their hopes to Malaysia to bring peace to the troubled country.

Stopping the oppression however, is not an easy task. The first course of action would be increasing Palestine's strength by uniting its people which are now separated to two groups, Hamas and Fatah.

The conflict began on 2005 after the death of Yasser Arafat on Novemver 11, 2004. The reason behind this conflict can be described as something classic where there are claims saying that there were act of nepotism and corruption in the government. From there, people of Palestine were separated into two parties where Fatah is in charge at the Palestinian National Authority while Hamas in Gaza.

A few agreements by the two sides. One was in Cairo back in May 2011 but both parties fail to follow the agreement. Then there was the Doha agreement which was signed by Mahmud Abbas (Fatah) and Haled Mashaal (Hamas) in 2012 but there was no follow-up or actions taken after the agreement. Both parties often ended arguing without reaching any final decision.

Just like any other conflicts which involves Israeli interest, both sides are suspected to have been receiving weapon supplies from America to ensure that they would keep on fighting one another.

Thus, the hope which was expressed to Dato’ Seri Najib as that he would help both sides to unite with one another. What is certain, the hope of getting him to repeat his success in Philippines, to Gaza, is not something absurd.

This is because, Dato’ Seri Najib is famous for being a brave leader where he used to visit conflicted areas such as in Southern Thailand, as an effort to work on a cease-fire agreement between the rebels and Thai government. He is also one of the first to restore peace in Bosnia back in 1993 as well as Somalia.

It is not much if we are to say that Dato’ Seri Najib's smart leadership is one of the main factor in keeping Malaysia in peace instead of being attacked by the enemy. That is why, there is no doubt that Dato’ Seri Najib will be able to help Palestine in making sure that its people would unite and stand up for peace.

UMCEDEL Research: Why Chinese Prefer Anwar To Be PM?

UM Centre Of Democracy And Election (UMCEDEL) once again ran a survey regarding the election on December 26, 2012 until January 11, 2013 which involves 1409 respondents. Prior to that, they did the same survey involving 2282 respondents from March 31, 2012 - April 15, 2012 and 1536 respondents from September 1, 2012 - September 16, 2012.

UMCEDEL previously discovered that 50% chooses BN and 30% remain undecided. However, BN supporters did not really take the results seriously because they take UMCEDEL as same as Merdeka Center, a research centre which is led by foreign party and it cannot be trusted.

And with the background of UMCEDEL's Director, Professor Datuk Dr. Mohammad Redzuan Othman, the former President if ABIM who is still loyal towards Anwar Ibrahim and seems open with the idea of liberalism. Besides that, Prof. Redzuan is also questioned regarding his credibility in handling political census considering that he is from the Faculty if History and Literature.

Thus, when he announced that the recent survey found that there is a decline in support towards BN, it is expected. It is just a standard strategy for Merdeka Center to show declining support as General Election comes closer to bring down BN's moral, and it is UMCEDEL's responsibility to do the same.

However, to be fair, we should have an open mind and accept the findings presented by UMCEDEL, which showed that 78% from 1409 respondents have their doubts on BN on issue of integrity and power abuse and from the 78%, 95% of the respondents are Chinese, showing signs that component party, MCA, will be facing a tough challenge in getting back their seats.

What is more interesting is that, NFC issue, Lynas and Deepak is also said to be a huge issue among rakyat and it could become a possible threat for BN.

While for the opposition, the issue which becomes priority for rakyat would be the internal conflict. However, it is surprising that only 59% takes it as the main issue, while 21% is not sure and another 20% do not care if their government often fight among one another.

Issues such as PTPTN, free tolls and reduce oil price shows that 50% respondents believe that opposition will be able to fulfil their promise. Thus, showing that Malaysians still fail to understand the logical explanation on the logic of managing the country's and global economy to believe that the could do such a thing without having to suffer financial crisis in such short notice.

Whatever it is, if we are to consider that the 1409 respondents are the voice of rakyat, then one thing which we would have to look on would be the Chinese's tendency to choose PRm or accepting Anwar Ibrahim as the Prime Minister.

Support from the Chinese towards PR, or Anwar Ibrahim if true, is seen through the factor of PR's characteristics which is liberal and that they are prepared to abolish the 'Islamic State' clause in the constitution as well as getting rid of Malay rights. Moreover, PR is also known to be supporting Christians activities as well as their openness towards LGBT group.

Even though PAS is supposed 'balance' things out on PR's liberalism, everyone knows that PAS's voice does not matter in the coalition. PAS cannot do anything other tha objecting the matter with their mouth, or their best, step on DAP's flag. That is about it.

This is because PAs is scared if they are kicked out from PR.

The fact is, PAS cannot put their hope on PKR to help then defend Islam even though the party is led by Anwar Ibrahim, a Muslim Malay. Anwar is a pluralist, liberal and he is much more comfortable to be around Christian DAP than PAS.

We are not surprised why the Chinese chooses PR and we are not surprised if they are willing to take Anwar as their Prime Minister. Considering that all of Anwar's secret is still in DAP's hands, UMCEDEL's survey findings may be credible after all.

However, the thing which might be in question would be their motive in supporting PR because we believe that the government's integrity is not part of the issue. If that is the issue, then DAP's integrity in terms of corruption and vote rigging is a lot worse, thing goes to PKR and PAS as well.

The conclusion, the Chinese choose to go with PR because PR is willing to sacrifice Islam and Malay rights. Malays chooses PR because they want to 'get rid' of corruption, even if they have to sacrifice Islam and their own race.

Harakahdaily Denied Defending Kalimah Allah

The issue of kalimah Allah has really put PAS in a tight conflict between religion and politics which is between Allah SWT with Tokong Lim DAP.

Mainstream media  these days often publish report on objections made by PAS members against DAP through peaceful demonstration, and stomping on DAP's flag. Some even demanded that PAS should get out of Pakatan Rakyat. Few of them include supporters from Penang and Kelantan.

With that, Ulama Council Chief as well as a few of PAS Ulama leaders made statements to oppose on the usage of kalimah Allah in the Bible. However, these Ulama were then criticized by DAP and PKR because they have previously agreed to the matter and any change of minds after that is just irrelevant.

This then brought them to a democratic decision where DAP and PKR won and PAS lost, even though PAS refuse to admit that.

With that, PAS top leadership took the decision to stay quiet. In short, PAS decided to not make any decisions.

This then raises question among rakyat. Until when would PAS supporters organize demonstrations to oppose DAP which does not lead to anything? What would they get from stomping on DAP's flag?

Finally, Harakahdaily today gave their response through the statement of PAS Kelantan  Youth Chief, Abdul Latif Abdul Rahman where he denied that those who were at the demonstration were members or supporters for PAS. He said, that is just UMNO's gimmick to cause trouble between PAS-DAP. He said, it is the proof that UMNO is desperate.

According to him, PAS members respect the Syura Council's decision and they would not have organized any demo and put they are blaming the Home Ministry as they are unable to handle the kalimah Allah issue even when it is under UMNO's jurisdiction.

In other words, he accepts Syura Council's decision that kalimah Allah cannot be usde by other religion but the decision only falls to PAS members, and at the same time, it is subjected to Pakatan Rakyat's decision that members of DAP, PKR and those are are not PAS members, can use kalimah Allah in their religious books.

That is Pakatan Rakyat's official decision which PAS leaders do not really know how to express, but Abdul Latif managed to explain all that to us.

Abdul Latif must have understand that as long as PAS is with PR, the party would have to obey to PR's decision and PAs's decision is just irrelevant.

That is why, If PR wins the coming election, we can expect that kalimah Allah can be used by other religion, freely.

If Abdul Latif denies this one as well, then he should explain where would this kalimah Allah issue stand if PR leads this country.
