Kassim Ahmad goes over a tip upon Anwar Ibrahim
by Fathi Aris Omar & Jimadie Shah Othman
INTERVIEW: There might be no Malay intellectual some-more opposite to
opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim than Kassim Ahmad.To him, Anwar is a "forked-tongued" politician as well as a slandering "traitor" to a republic who has been concerned in various issues such as usurpation unfamiliar funds.
At a mere discuss of his name, a argumentative author's tone hardened. He regularly voiced his enterprise to "spit", "hang", "behead" as well as "slap" a de facto PKR leader."As we have said, we am willing to hang Anwar to death. Even now we am willing to fire him". "He is evil," pronounced Kassim whilst fortifying Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak upon a Altantuya Shaariibuu issue.
The ostensible couple in between a Premier as well as a Mongolian national is only "slander" by Anwar, he told Malaysiakini at his home in Kulim.The authorities need not fear taking action opposite Anwar despite his oratory skills, because he has been indicted of regularly lying, he added.
Even Pakatan Rakyat is nervous with a Opposition Leader, he charged, citing DAP chairperson Karpal Singh's "slip of a tongue" upon a non-Malay Prime Minister issue.
The interview with Malaysiakini had not even started when Kassim read out a minute in The Star criticising Anwar in relation to unfamiliar spectator groups during a BERSIH 3.0 rally.
Nik Aziz 'deified'
The gen! eral gro up upon an electoral system fact-finding goal consisted of Anwar's friends, purported a letter, between alternative things. Kassim afterwards went upon to heavily criticise PAS spiritual adviser Nik Aziz Nik Mat , saying he feels which Nik Aziz is as well deified by his followers.
His criticisms were vague, though he often mentioned a enlightenment of "feudal ulama (religious scholars)" in a Islamic party. He is known to be critical of a academician "caste" in Islam.
Shifting to associate comrade PKR senator Syed Husin Ali's joining of Pakatan, Kassim pronounced a former PKR Deputy President was only "being influenced".Syed Husin was formerly with Kassim in Parti Sosialis Rakyat Malaysia (PSRM). Kassim headed a revolutionary party from 1966 to 1984, as well as was succeeded by Kampo Radjo as well as afterwards Syed Husin.
"When Anwar was sacked (from UMNO as well as a supervision in 1998), thousands came to attend to him speak. He claimed which it was a people's uprising. we pronounced masya-Allah, (Adolf) Hitler also collected millions," he said.
'Late as well as stupid'
However, Kassim's 'cold war' with Anwar might have started even progressing in 1986, when he believed which Anwar was behind a banning of his argumentative book Hadis: Satu Penilaian Semula (Hadith: A Re-evaluation).
Anwar conspired with a "scholars" to pressure him despite primarily similar with him "in principle", he claimed.In a 1990s, Anwar blocked his offer to reason a dialogue with Perak mufti Harussani Zakaria upon a essence of his book, despite Dr Mahathir Mohamad's ostensible approval, he added.
Even his initial meeting with Anwar was not encouraging, when a former Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (ABIM) leader arrived 45 minutes late, he revealed.
"When we e! ntered, we spoke. He listened though did not contend a word. That is Anwar. He was afraid, really fearful which we would write or ask him anything.That is my experience with Anwar once he was late, once he acted stupidly," he said.www.malaysiakini.com
