All God does is watch us as good as kill us when we get boring. We contingency never, ever be boring.- Chuck Palahniuk (Invisible Monsters)
COMMENTThere has been a ratcheting up of racist tongue opposite a Chinese village of late by Umno, culminating in a rsther than odious plea to PAS by Umno's Kemelah state assemblyperson Ayub Rahmat which 'hudud law' be implemented in Johor for everyone, Muslim as good as non-Muslim.
Notice Ayub's unfortunate preference of words, "The Syariah Criminal Code (II) 1993 State of Kelantan does not reflect a loyal mandate of Islam. It creates taste in terms of execution (among Muslims as good as non-Muslims)."
In alternative words, it's "unIslamic" to have a set of laws which discriminates in in between Muslim as good as non-Muslim as good as since this is Malaysia, in in between Malay as good as non-Malay. Do we see where I'm going with this?
Like many Umno politicians Ayub does not see a counterbalance in in between a Umno obsession of upholding Malay rights, which in turn is translated into unaccepted as good as central institutionalised discrimination, as good as a supposed egalitarian perspective of Islam.
Never mind which Ayub has conceded which a Islamic policy of his own Umno is, well, unIslamic following a strict criteria of his own definition.
Prime Minister Najib Razak might crow of a "moderate" Islam used here in Malaysia though a being is which a Arabisation routine has taken root as good as a statute system of administration is ever peaceful to make use of it as a weapo! n of fea r opposite Muslims as good as non-Muslims, as we wrote in myfear enlightenment piece.
Ayub's handbill is one of many politically motivated provocations meant to stimulate a multiracial/religious Malaysian nicely into reliving their long buried secular or eremite nightmares. Nightmares which usually Umno as good as a power-sharing regulation can defense them from. Unfortunately for Umno, this does not go down well, with a sizeable territory of a choosing by casting votes public which considers anything entrance from Umno as anathema.
I roll my eyes during your convenience we hear a common give up by this system of administration as good as a little others who put up with in a many grotesque poise in a name of Islam as good as nonetheless explain which theirs is a sacrament of "peace".
When we have those paragons of purity during University Putra Malaysia indulging in anorgy of hateagainst a LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, as good as transgender) village as good as 'immigrant ethnicities' as good as a budding apportion dogmatic which there isno place in Malaysiafor a LGBT community, while members of his own celebration have been disseminating a "pendatang" narrative, who could honestly make a evidence which a kind of Islam promulgated by Umno is anything though divisive to this country?
The pinkish elephant in a room
But what is many offensive about this total contemptible mess is which a real targets of these hate campaigns have been Bersih co-chairperson Ambiga Sreenavesan as good as a various 'opposition' personalities. Whatever material repairs is accrued as distant as marginalised communities have been endangered is par for a march as distant as Asian values go.!
Non-Malay/Muslim bigots have be! en utter ly content to let their Malay/Muslim counterparts explain a field, all a while basking in their supposed thorough tongue which seems to usually revolve around corruption as good as a division of a mercantile cake instead of any real philosophical beliefs which would need postulated commitment.
DAP chairperson Karpal Singh is regularly accused of rocking a Pakatan Rakyat boat during your convenience he keeps PAS upon a true as good as slight 'secular' road as distant as their Islamic preoccupations have been concerned, though with Umno ever ready to fool around a Islamic certification card, Pakatan partisans should throw their support behind politicians similar to Karpal during your convenience PAS shows any signs of wavering.
And let's face facts, Pakatan loyalists would similar to to put this total 'Islamic' state emanate upon a backburner though with a likes of PAS ulama arch Harun Taib stirring a hudud pot for whatever reasons, we omit a pinkish elephant in a room during a own peril.
Add to this PAS devout personality Nik Aziz Nik Mat"congratulating"Umno for attempting to impose hudud in Johor as good as one can't tell if a diversion of eremite chicken is being played or is there a little darker sinister agendas during work.
I have good known for as good many loyal believers in PAS who hold which a idea of an Islamic state supercedes which of any multireligous/racial convictions of Pakatan! . Even w orse, we know a couple of successful Umno diehards who have been sympathethic to those aims.
With former budding apportion Dr Mahathir Mohamad dogmatic Malaysia an Islamic state as good as a Islamic 'Hadhari' of his evident successor, thoughtfu! l observ ers would assimilate which a conflict for Islam is not merely an Umno as good as PAS emanate where it is easy to select sides, though rsther than a ticking time bomb which can usually be defused if as good as when as a nation we select to plunge into this emanate once as good as for all.
All this is really comical of march entrance right after Najib advised his Umno brethren to"cool it"as distant as provocative "racial" statements have been concerned. Notice Najib's rsther than unfortunate preference of words.
"We would similar to to remind a members to not emanate any statements which hold upon sentiments of any competition or anything which can means problems in in between BN member parties," he said.
In alternative words, Najib is usually endangered of "the problems" as it relates to a workings of his member parties as good as not to a incomparable multiethnic Malaysian community. Just to criticise a point.
Something is usually 'racist' (for example) if it is tangible by BN member parties as good as consecrated by Umno. Non-BN supporters have been left totally out of a loop. And who exactly have been these 'members'? Do they include members who go to right-wing Malay rights groups? Former budding ministers?
Mahathir's biggest hits
Mahathir is reviving his biggest hits pick up when he attacks a Chinese village wi! th a o verused canards of minority subversion as good as dominance. 'Kingmakers' he shrilly proclaims them while in a belly of a Umno beast -Utusan Malaysia- a editorial warlocks stir a cauldron of community fears of Machiavellian alliances in in between a Houses of DAP as good as PAP.
The account is si! mple. Th e Malays have been splintered during a mercy of a diabolical Chinese 'pendatangs' who wish nothing some-more than to physically as good as psychologically enslave them. The Malays have been weak as good as usually Umno can protect them. So what if Umno gets rich in a process? Doesn't this 'service' need remuneration?
As has been demonstrated innumerous articles, Mahathir gets a math wrong as distant as a kingmaker demographic goes. But wonky numbers has never deterred Umno from spinning a horrible lie. This total nation is built upon dodgy numbers.
The same account applies to a way how Islam is used in this nation as good as a rest of a universe where tyrannical regimes in all their banal varieties hold sway. The true need to be protected opposite anything which would shake their faith. If their conviction in Islam is shaken, what afterwards of their conviction in a statute classes which duke it over them?
All this 'kingmakers' talk contingency really piss off a Hindraf lads. If a Chinese have been a kingmakers, what afterwards of a poor Indians? And it does seem unfair. So-called Chinese advocacy groups have been in general timid as good as cautious when criticising a regime.!
And who could blame them, deliberation a firepower opposite them. They might not in being be a transparent as good as present danger to a Umno system of administration though they have been anointed as such as good as all a state's promotion organs have been during work portraying them as placing a destiny of a Malay nicely in harm's way.
But if we really wish to read a bleeding edge in secular as good as eremite discourse, we should check out a Human Rights Partywebsiteand a commentary by a Hindraf faithful.
Whatever my criticisms of Hindraf, usually they have had a cojones to rage opposite a Umno machine in an open as good as central demeanour ! instead of a underling rosa tongue which maybe even we am guilty off. If they ever get a support of a infancy of Malaysians, they will indeed be a transparent as good as present danger which Umno so fears.
Even RPK (blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin) has taken a stab during a Indian as good as Chinese communities. At slightest in this courtesy a Indians have been not left out. And this makes me happy.
His blog post about how a Indians as good as Chinese have been to "blame" for gripping Umno in energy was anextremely droll read. Like Mahathir, he gets a demographic numbers wrong though afterwards again Pete (as he is fondly known) was never a numbers guy. His forte is stirring a shit as good as saying who complains of a smell.
Why should RPK get all a brickbats? we have some-more or reduction made a same evidence in many of myMalaysiakinipieces. we have discussed a complicity of a Chinese as good as Ind! ians com munities of sustaining Umno hegemony with their obsessions upon their community preoccupations tangible by Umno. we have heaped ridicule upon those who complain though don't vote.
I have pointed to a worried fact which there were regularly antithesis parties (who might have played a diversion badly, though afterwards again how good was BN playing?) though not sufficient antithesis support.
Of course, a Malays as good as a opinion banks in Sabah as good as Sarawak have been part of a numbers diversion though let's combine upon those vocal communities who define (for improved or worse) competition family in Malaysia. Spare me "we voted out of fear" or a countless alternative BS rationales for choosing by casting votes BN since a common justification of former BN electorate was which "we do not have a credible opposition" (sic).
At a end of a day, it's all about income anyway. Whenever we see these political or eremi! te sorts pontificating about eremite or informative values, one should cruise this Dorothy Parker quote as dictum rsther than than bon mot, "If we wish to know what God thinks of money, only demeanour during a people he gave it to."
