Who is it which banked upon Islam as domestic currency? None alternative than ex-Umno male Anwar Ibrahim himself.
COMMENT
Like a pot job a kettle black, Anwar Ibrahim made a audacious claim which Umno, being "in assign of religion", is fear-mongering a apostasy issue for domestic mileage.Anwar was quoted in an FMT report upon Mar twenty-nine as saying which a teachers' convention scheduled to be hold in Johor upon Saturday was "part of an effort to conduct control by a make make use of of of fright as good as faith".
He was referring to a planned weekend precision programme patrician "Pemantapan Aqidah, Bahaya Liberalisme dan Pluralisme Serta Ancaman Kristianisasi Terhadap Umat Is! lam. Apa Peranan Guru?"
Meanwhile Malaysiakini had a same story headlined 'Christian hazard is Umno propaganda' since The Malaysian Insider pointed out which "the opposition leader was quick to couple a matter to Umno".
Anwar had told a press discussion in a Parliament: "I wish to state which Umno is clever in Malaysia. Umno is in assign of religion, Umno is in assign of a finances so if a allegations (proselytizating to Muslims) have been loyal which equates to Umno has unsuccessful to make firm a faith of a Muslims."
Meanwhile Lim Kit Siang purported which a convention organizers had gone opposite Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak's 1Malaysia judgment as such events would usually "lead to greater racial polarisation".
1Malaysia vs Malaysian First
Before we discuss a audacity of Anwar, let me initial illustrate because Kit Siang's call should be aptly described as 'menepuk air di dulang, terpercik muka sendiri juga' or in alternative w! ords, a conflict usually portion to uncover up a DAP parliamentary leader's own sad miss of understanding.
1Malaysia vs Malaysian First
Before we discuss a audacity of Anwar, let me initial illustrate because Kit Siang's call should be aptly described as 'menepuk air di dulang, terpercik muka sendiri juga' or in alternative w! ords, a conflict usually portion to uncover up a DAP parliamentary leader's own sad miss of understanding.
It is DAP customary handling procedure to take potshots during a Najib inhabitant unity aphorism by unwarrantedly joining it to every fathomable controversy.
One prominent occasion was when Kit Siang as good as his fellow DAP politicians including son Guan Eng derided Muhyiddin Yassin as being "Malay first, Malaysian second".
Their derisive usually reveals a party's ideological shortcomings.
According to a Federal Constitution's definition of 'Malay' in Article 160, a chairman is a ! Muslim w ho habitually speaks Malay as good as conforms to Malay customs.
The status of Islam is enshrined in Article 3 of a FedCon, as good as Malay as a inhabitant denunciation in Article 152. On these dual counts, Muhyiddin as a Malay individual aligns perfectly with a constitution.
On a alternative hand, Kit Siang, Guan Eng as good as Hannah 'Anak Malaysia' Yeoh do not.
Regarding a third aspect defining a Malay, let's look during a legal standing of Malay customs.
To a layman, etiquette have been accepted as cultural practices. Muhyiddin has been during a forefront of compelling Malay culture good upon him as a emissary boss of Umno.
Custom is adat; Malay adat is intertwined with customary law.
Adat bersindi hukum
Hukum bersindi kitabullah
Kuat adat tak gaduh hukum
Kuat hukum tak gaduh adat
(Customary law hinges upon religious law, religious law upon a word of God. If law is strong, sacrament is not upset, if sacrament is strong, law is not upset.)
There is a proverb which goes "adat sentosa di dalam negeri" or a etiquette of a land safety harmony. Upon a formation of complicated Malaya, a essentials of Malay etiquette were codified in a area of public law, i.e. a federal constitution.
Malaysia is a inherent monarchy as good as one of a roles ! of a S ultan is as ! "the pro tector of Malay customs". This is a ruler's Royal Prerogative viz. a state constitution(s) as good as vested in his sovereignty (daulat).
RH Hickling an eminent jurist from a Faculty of Law, Universiti Malaya (1987) in his key to a judgment of law in Malaysia wrote, between alternative observations: "The tenacity of Malay law remains", "adat is woven into a texture of a community" as good as even "the British in Malaya famous a effect of adat as good as adat law".
Clearly Muhyiddin's Malay character is in undiluted accord with a Federal Constitution.
Do not dont think about which "In Malaysia usually a Constitution is supreme" as good as "What is supreme in Malaysia is a Constitution itself" a difference of a late Lord President Tun Mohamed Suffian.
And yet we find Kit Siang, Guan Eng as good as a DAP constantly berating Muhyiddin as being "Malaysian second". How bizarre. What is it about these DAP leaders which ought to validate them forward of a emissary budding apportion as Malaysian First?
Hence, deliberation a DAP's unforgivable stupidity of a country's bieing born certificate, can they now or during any alternative time be fit to speak about Malaysian First most reduction to keep throwing eggs during 1Malaysia?
The culprits politicking Islam
About a convention Anwar said,! "What we can confirm is which this is zero alternative than a disgusting domestic manoeuvre to make make use of of sacrament to frighten a people."
The culprits politicking Islam
About a convention Anwar said,! "What we can confirm is which this is zero alternative than a disgusting domestic manoeuvre to make make use of of sacrament to frighten a people."
Who is it which has hijacked sacrament to make make use of of for domestic badging?
Let's initial look during Anwar's ex-boss Dr Mahathir Mohamed who was Umno boss for some-more than dual deca! des. By virtue of portion as budding apportion concurrently, Dr M's thousands of speeches as good as public appearances have been all scrupulously documented as good as archived.
Did Dr M tunjuk alim atau warak janggut macam kambing (display outward piety or keep a goatee to project an ustaz-like demeanour)? Nope, Anwar did.
Dr M's speeches were never peppered with quotes from a Quran or fancy Arabic phrases as good as sayings. And no, Dr M did not take it upon himself to lead congregational prayers in a mosque upon Friday or during alternative occasions in a Islamic calendar. Instead it is Anwar who carried out all a Islamic-flavoured gimmickry.
Anwar as good as a series of DAP poseurs similar to Guan Eng with his Caliph Umar Abdul Aziz posturing, a DAP Chinese MPs as good as state assemblymen who garble Quranic verses/the Hadith, as good as of course, a holy ladies of a DAP Selendang Squad.
While he competence have been active in a Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Mahathir yet did not trade upon any presumed Islamic veneer to boost his domestic credentials.
What about alternative Umno total past as good as present Tunku Abdul Rahman, Musa Hitam, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, Daim Zainuddin, Hishammuddin Hussein, Rafidah Aziz. Do these leaders go out of their way to portray an outwardly divine Islamic image?
So because lay a assign which Umno controls Islam?
Who instead is it which banked upon Islam as domestic currency? None alternative than ex-Umno male Anwar himself.
Aside from a PAS people, today's domestic personalities with a repute for Islamic zealotry have been Hasan Ali as good as Zulkifli Noordin. Neither have been Umno.
Who controls religion?
Admittedly Abdullah Ahmad Badawi during his premiership tried to foster a Islam Hadhari project though he was a initial between a budding ministers. Previous PMs, also a Umno party presidents, never cloaked their administrations! in Isla mic garb. That is PAS terrain as good as some-more recently a DAP's in Penang.
By law, it is a Sultans as good as Raja who have been a heads of Islam in their states. Not Umno! The Yang di-Pertuan Agung is a conduct of Islam in his home state as good as in Malacca, Penang as good as a Federal Territories.
Jurisdiction of Islam remains resolutely within a bounds of any state, meaning Islam is underneath a legislative as good as executive management of a state as good as not an Umno event to be directed from a Putra World Trade Centre.
The National Council for Islamic Affairs was established by a Conference of Rulers to prepare a administration department of Islamic matters. Every Malay state as good as Malacca, Penang, Sabah as good as Sarawak have their own religious councils.
The National Fatwa Council is a orthodox physique since a syariah courts have been civil institutions.
! Some Islamic bodies do come underneath a ambit of a Prime Minister's Department such as a Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim), Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia (Ikim), Pusat Islam (Islamic Centre) as good as Lembaga Tabung Haji (Pilgrims Fund Board) though yet a PM's Department is not a personal skill of Umno.
This Saturday's convention upon Christianization is pronounced to be organized by a Johor Mufti Department together with a Johor Education Department. However, a rarely disputable indictment by Pakatan leaders implies which a Johor Mufti Department is underneath a thumb of Umno. Is this really so?
In truth, a institutions of Islam in Johor have been not usually well-established though independent as good as arguably a best in Malaysia. The (then) Mufti of Johor was a witness to a ceremony for Und! ang-unda ng Tubuh Negeri Johor (or in English, a Johor State Establishment Constitution) upon Sept 14, 1895 when Johor became a initial peninsular state to adopt inherent monarchy.
Thus, a princely as good as legally consti! tuted of fice of Johor Mufti predates Umno shaped usually in 1946 by a good 50 years.
Besides that, Johor can righteously take pride in a well-organised religious preparation boasting an modernized as good as progressive syllabus. This complement comprises a integrated primary as good as delegate school networks Sekolah Rendah Agama Bersepadu (SRAB) as good as Sekolah Menengah Agama Kerajaan Johor (SMAKJ) right up to Sekolah Menengah Tinggi Johor (Maahad) which caters for a lower as good as upper sixth forms.
At tertiary level, Johor has Kolej Pengajian Islam Johor (Marsah) which conducts twinning programmes with Egypt's c! elebrate d Al-Azhar University.
As such, a Islamic authorities of Johor should righteously be indignant during Anwar's insinuation which sacrament as good as school activities in their state have been remote-controlled by Umno.
If anything, it is Malaysia's religious establishment which competence truly be deliberate as an autonomous Third Force. There's frequency any necessity for them to bow to Umno though upon a contrary, their coercion officers can good take to court Umno leaders caught for khalwat or receiving second wives without following proper procedures.
When a Pakatan top echelon simply shoots from a hip to stir religious sentiments as good as smear domestic rivals, it is little wonder which their fanatical followers so simply resort to insults as good as slander too.
