Hudud law and the test of equality Ronald Benjamin

SEPT 26 The stream replay of a hudud polemic is an additional example of how Malaysian governing body has a own supportive taboos or bogeymen which have been resurrected in opposite moments to exam a political waters of ideologues of both sides of a political divide.

To my observation of governing body over a years, a Malaysian prophesy of togetherness has been disintegrated as well as fragmented by politicians who have been not able to come up with a one prophesy of Malaysia in their actions.

This is due to lift they have in defence a ideological foundations of their parties as well as their supporters, as well as this is exacerbated by strong emotions due to religious as well as ethnic sensitivities.

Shrewd politicians like Dr Mahathir Mohamad know this art of manipulation ideally well as well as resurrects such issues from time to time to break up as well as neutralise a accordant action of a antithesis parties in Malaysia.

Pakatan Rakyat is basically a loose bloc brought together by a usual idea of bringing down Barisan Nasional. It is tested from time to time, when dim shadows have been revealed as well as a credit put on a line by a likes of Nik Aziz Nik Mat as well as Karpal Singh.

The subject is, because has Pakatan Rakyat been incompetent to solve a issues of a Islamic state as well as hudud laws even after a introduction of a Buku Jingga?

Is a hudud issue going to obscure real issues such a gap between rich as well as a poor, corruption, tellurian rights as well as low productivity of a economy?

Governing involves a one as well as next to prophesy of tellurian dignity. The fundamental subject is, will a hudud laws request similarly even if it involves stately household? If yes, how? If no, why?

The essence as well as consequence of any laws have to pass a exam of a Malaysian context. Will any laws proposed move Malaysians together in conditions of accord over what constitutes crime?

There have been some who say which hudud! laws sh ould be practical to Kelantan given a Kelantanese want it. The subject is, on what basement such reasoning reached? Is it since a infancy of Kelantanese have been Malay-Muslim?

If this is so, have been we relocating or formulating a fashion towards a dictatorship of a majority, which could be practical to alternative states when a time comes, formulating dual set of laws in a nation where opposite ethnic as well as religious groups live side by side in an civic environment?

Therefore, it is critical for Pakatan Rakyat to take stock of these issues in a coming meetings. Being a loose coalition, a usually way it would be ready to oversee is if it has a one prophesy of tellurian grace with a understanding which laws should move people together rsther than than separate them.

The constitution is an excellent reference of togetherness regarding law. The essence of religion in a amicable aspect has nothing to do with dividing people according to laws but rsther than unifying as well as integrating systems of probity in a nation where usual values takes precedence.

The arguments which hudud is usually for Muslims does not hold, since even within a Muslim community, there is no accord on a context of a application.

So because waste time on an issues which does not pass a exam of reality?
