If Najib wants to give us the genuine Raya present, afterwards let us have the referendum upon hudud as well as solve the emanate once as well as for all.
COMMENT
We depreciate some-more taxpayers' income being squandered upon the shopping of votes in the guise of duit raya, though the nice Raya present for the rakyat would be an finish to insufficiency as well as hypocrisy. Of all the ministers, whom you select to mock, the Minister of Education, Muhyiddin Yassin, contingency be in the tip 10.
On Aug 15, Bernama reported that Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin had received visitors from abroad who praised Malaysia for being the "special as well as most admired Muslim country" as well as "the best e.g. of the on-going Muslim nation". These member had additionally wanted to have use of Malaysia as the template to serve improve their own nations.
As typical Malaysians, you would have shared in Muhyiddin's ebullience until you review that the views had been expressed by people from Afghanistan, Palestine as well as Somalia.
Muhyiddin talked about Muslim togetherness as well as compared the situation in Syria with Malaysia, where Malaysians, he said, lived in peaceful harmony since of the obliged leaders.
He said, "What is important is that Islamic togetherness contingency be placed at the pinnacle of the bid to rise the nation."
Did the DPM not have visitors from some-more on-going Muslim nations, such as Indonesia or Turkey, as well as would their views have been the same as those of the conflict-ridden as well as war-torn nations?
One wonders what Muhyiddin's guest would have suspicion about the des! perate a ttempts by Umno to "unite" the Malays using, race, religion as well as the sultans. In the latest fiasco, the May 13 movie "Tanda Putera" is used to incite hatred of the Chinese, as well as frighten the Malays.
Would the foreigners be tender with the hurtful Muslim leaders? Would they admire the inventive methods used to adhere onto power? Would they wonder at at the symbiotic relationship of Umno as well as the VVIPs used to retain control?
Some of these nations got absolved of their own VVIPs decades ago to become republics. What is their impression of an Education Minister, who appears to acquit the actions of extremist teachers? Would they have regard for the way Malaysia treats the Muslim women, who have been in hit with drink as well as books?
Minister's uninspired joke
Another minister who attracts an equal amount of reproof is Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein. He told an online headlines portal that fighting crime has never been deliberate the priority in the 55 years of Malaysian independence. He hinted that multitude was partly to censure for rising levels of crime.
Another minister who attracts an equal amount of reproof is Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein. He told an online headlines portal that fighting crime has never been deliberate the priority in the 55 years of Malaysian independence. He hinted that multitude was partly to censure for rising levels of crime.
In May 2010, Hishammuddin met 100 students at the Malaysian Students Department in London, as well as pronounced that resting report fuelled the notice of the most higher level of travel crimes, than in reality.
He said, "Most victims have been women. What do women do? They go to the hairdressers they jabber as well as suddenly it is everywhere as well as cause people to fear."(sic.)
His uninspired as well as sexist fun backfired. Hishammuddin seems oblivious to the concerns of the open men who mysteriously fell off buildings, people who had "sudden death" syndrome during their time in the military lock-up as well as teenagers who died after being shot by policemen.
If Hishammuddin had taken his duties severely as well as softened spirit in the police, extended the standards of policing as well as i! ncreasin g open confidence in the police, you would not be demanding his removal now. Instead, he done it the priority to hound opposition leaders as well as people who attend "democracy marches".
It's not just ministers who have been unproductive. The Perkasa chief, Ibrahim Ali, warned the DAP chairman Karpal Singh to apply oneself the Muslims' right to hudud. He claimed that the infancy of Malaysians were Muslim as well as that the infancy wins, in the democracy.
"If the infancy wish hudud, he [Karpal] cannot conflict it hudud is the elemental right of Muslims."
Ibrahim described the people who opposed hudud as "stepping upon the heads of Muslims". He lumped "liberal Muslims" in this organisation as well as called them irresponsible.
"When alternative races insult Islam, they [the magnanimous Muslims] do not verbalise out opposite it. Why didn't they say something when pig heads were hurled into the mosque?But when paint is splashed onto the church, they have the lot of noise"
Umno's scapegoats
This is where Ibrahim is wrong. His listening skills have been selective similar to the switching upon or off, of the hearing aid. His memory additionally seems rsther than selective. Has he lost that the pig heads were allegedly thrown into the mosques by Muslim fundamentalists who were fomenting unrest?
A few magnanimous Muslims have been brave enough to condemn attacks opposite people of alternative faiths. The others have been petrified about saying anything in open since the thugs, who have been controlled by Umno, have been not people whom one can simply reason. Umno intimidates, rsther than than impresses with knowledge. Umno attacks rsther than than articulates with facts.
With the 13th ubiquitous choosing approaching, Umno is in trouble. Scandals, expos, corruption as well as insufficiency have been making headline news, in the alternative media, upon the daily basis.

Instead of acting upon the various tip-offs about corruption as well as abuse at the top levels of government, Umno wants to have scapegoats out of the whistle-blowers as well as those who display the scandals.
One such chairman Umno targeted is Rafizi Ramli. His detain is to act as the deterrent. No more. No less. His detain is dictated to shock others who have deleterious report about the hurtful leaders.
That is because hudud is the non-issue. It is merely the distraction, similar to the most alternative distractions that have been thrown in the open locus to confuse us, as well as pull courtesy away from scandals, in the run-up to the ubiquitous election.
Both the non-Muslims as well as the infancy of Muslims, not just the magnanimous ones, conflict hudud. We wouldn't wish the Cabinet staffed with ministers who have usually one hand as well as feet each.
If Najib wants to give us the genuine Raya present, afterwards let us have the referendum upon hudud as well as solve the emanate once as well as for all. The hudud daze seems to resurface whenever Umno is in serious trouble.
