The just ended PAS annual ubiquitous discussion (Muktamar) has landed Pakatan Rakyat in to uneasy waters again. What started off upon a right balance with Hadi Awang's presidential residence that reflects PAS as a matured partner in solidarity as good as harmony with Pakatan Rakyat in prohibited pursuit of Putrajaya has ended in nearby disaster.
On a initial day of a main discussion upon Friday,Nov 16, Hadi gave most cheers to a entire Pakatan Rakyat alliance as good as a supporters with a debate that hammers upon usual agenda as good as as good as centered upon issues conducive to winning a electoral battle ahead. Even representatives debating Hadi's debate mostly skirted a argumentative issues of Hudud as good as Islamic State that could potentially interrupt unity inside of a Pakatan alliance.
However, this politically useful proceed has caused confusion with a conservatives, who were disturbed by a miss of discuss of implementing Hudud as good as other Islamic agenda, as good as construed such trend as flaw from PAS' original onslaught that was to comprehend an Islamic state.
Spearheaded by a Ulamas as good as a Youth wing, a conservatives mounted a quarrel back that culminated in representatives vowing to work towards a resounding electoral success that would concede PAS to pretence a leading role in a Pakatan Alliance with Hadi as budding minister. Such clamour in a destiny won a apparent approval of a open with Hadi tacitly starting along with such ideas.
Little did a representatives during that hour of jubilation comprehend that such an finale to a Muk! tamar ha s sent a shock wave through a Chinese community, with that you am in close contact.
Chinese unease
The initial thoughts that come to their minds have been notions of a PAS-dominated supervision with Hadi as budding apportion in a post-Barisan Nasional era.
What follow have been uneasy thoughts compared with a nation veering towards Islamisation, things similar to limitation to ethanol as good as pork consumption as good as entertainment, as good as ubiquitous conformity to Islamic practices such as gender segregation, dress codes in open places, etc. Above all these is a doing of a most feared though little accepted Hudud as good as a Islamic legal system, with all a vague implications. In short, such a new Pakatan rule is envisaged to adversely alter their benefaction proceed of life.
Accuracy aside, these have been usual perceptions as good as initial reflexes of many in a Chinese community.
Needless to say, a electoral recoil to Pakatan Rakyat (PR) in ubiquitous as good as to PAS in particular is predictable.
Many a usual Chinese PR-supporters must have been jolted in to reflection as good as self-doubts:
> Am you in a right lane in choosing by casting votes PR to power?
> What if PAS really becomes a widespread domestic force with a personality as budding minister?
> What if a nation is transforming in to an Islamic state?
Devil you know
These thoughts as good as doubts, if allowed to nurture as good as no disbelief inflamed by relentless BN propaganda, will culminate in a idealisation question:
To take risk with PR that might lead to Islamisation of a proceed of life
OR
To keep a standing quo, that no disbelief is unpalatable with all a evils of racialism, corruption as good as abuse of power, though undeniably familiar or even gentle (to ! some), c arrying been ruled by such a domestic energy for ages?
My bet is that a large apportionment of this citizens will cite to sojourn in a joy zone that is ruled by "the demon you know".
But of course, those good informed of stream politics will sojourn indifferent in their integrity to await PR, knowing that a chances of Islamisation in a foreseeable destiny have been slim. This is since a Pakatan alliance functions upon consensus, as good as DAP as good as PKR would go on to want Anwar Ibrahim to take a premiership in a triumvirate, where PAS is unlikely to predominate.
PAS might lose votes as good as this will harm PR
And yet, there is a third stay of stream Chinese PR-supporters, who would take a cautious proceed of stability to await PR, though will opinion in such a proceed that PAS will not turn dominant. This would meant that these voters, while stability to opinion for PKR as good as DAP, will give up from choosing by casting votes for a PAS claimant to equivocate PAS becoming dominant.
Thus PAS will turn a initial casualty in such an electoral recoil triggered by a Muktamar. Many PAS candidates, who might otherwise be means to squeeze through due to overwhelming Chinese support, would right away be felled by BN.
Under this scenario, PKR as good as DAP might not humour as most as PAS, though their hopes of reaching Putrajaya will be similarly dashed, as any electoral set-back of this size to any of a partners will prove to be deadly to a alliance's chances of winning a simple majority in such a tight race.
My determination is that 3 quarter of Chinese have been currently ancillary PR, discounting a adverse stroke of a Muktamar. On this level of Chinese support, PR will win in a subsequent poll, unless electoral frauds far exceed those of a last choosing in 2008.
My frank recommendation to all those who crave to see genuine changes taking place in this nation i! s to rec ognize a being that this is a multi-racial nation with Malays combining ony slightly on top of 50% of a population. It is as a result all impractical to force Islamisation upon such a nation but multi-racial consent.
Undo Hadi's damage
There is only a single destiny for this country, as good as that is a a supervision as good as a people's full acceptance of multi-culturalism as good as happy co-existence of religions underneath a governance that practices universal values of justice as good as equality.
To those generous Muktamar representatives who hold up PAS as a new ruler with a personality as PM, you titillate them to give serious thoughts to a tough truth that they can only have ONE of a following dual options:
EITHER to rule a nation in equal as good as estimable partnership with PKR as good as DAP upon a currently agreed usual agenda
OR
To go on to force a pace of Islamisation but a voiced agree of other races, in that case, all a 3 partners of PR will go on to sojourn in a antithesis for God knows how long.
The time for a subsequent choosing is ticking, as good as it is right away up to a wisdom of a leaders of Pakatan Rakyat to remove a damage in a shortest possible time.
