Give syariah law a chance for all Malaysia, says PAS Youth
Syariah law should be given the chance to tackle crime if the existing criminal law system is inadequate, says PAS Youth chief Nasrudin Hassan.Seems like this PAS fella is riding the Chinese Voter support, while I truly believe that Syariah law can work , but I also clearly know that in malaysia we are not mature enough ( muslims AND non muslims) to make it work. We cant even digest a simple case of a muslim woman who loves dogs and makes it public. I doubt it can stop murderers and killers. FYI in sunny Pakistan only in the last week ,tens of people were killed by random bombings by muslims on muslims…. So much for ‘steming’ crime with Syariah.So don’t blame the law when the Home minister and the IGP are fully aware of the criminal activities here in Malaysia. As the saying goes…” when the supply stops, the crime rates plunder”We have very good laws in place but poor enforcement of the law. as simple as a traffic offense, people pay a quick bribe and hope not to get caught again. Summons issued, never get paid and police dont enforce the law instead you get a discount! Civic mindedness and conciousness of the law is only through enforcement.
Former Higher Education Deputy Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah (pic) lost his Temerloh parliamentary candidate due to massive swing from Chinese voters who were persuaded by their children to go for change.This is especially so in cyber space and in urban centres like Penang, the Klang Valley and Kinta Valley where the Chinese dominate political discussion and harangue anyone who does not toe their line.Some call it an urban wave, others say it is a largely Chinese wave. It is nothing as devastating as the political tsunam2 of 20013 where the Indians and Malays also came along to give Datuk Johari Abdul Ghan big win but is giving PAS a big urban headache.the voters are solidly not behind them and the rhetorical, shrill voices must be stopped. They serve no purpose. The safeguarding of Malaysia must be the top priority, much more important than the interests of our individual parties and ideologies
He said the BN would have to map out strategies to reach out the Chinese and this would be discussed at the coalition’s workshop to be held soon.
“The Chinese are not demanding but they are just asking for good governance. If we get it right, then there is no problem to regain support from the community,” he said.
He felt that there must be a single and strong multi-racial party in the BN and there must be a provision to allow direct membership into the coalition.
Saifuddin said the current political culture from politics of race and religion must also change.
will have no political incentive to serve its constituents. This, given prevailing levels of public morality, is a license to satisfy personal interests for the length of the term to MP and minister. The cynical response is that this hardly matters since MPs have become irrelevant to national development or even to their constituency’s welfare. If that is the level of degeneration, then we should abandon first-past-the-post parliamentary democracy and find another definition of democracy. Perhaps we can adopt a dual system in which two-thirds of MPs are elected on the basis of lists prepared by the party leaders, enabling them to send their chosen favourites to the House in direct proportion to the percentage of votes they have received.
The relationship between MP and voter can, thereby, be officially abandoned. This should make party bosses delirious.
The irony is that such flaws can be easily corrected, with some time and thought. Both have been absent from the process. The pro-reservation lobbies have employed hustle topped off by self-congratulation; those opposed think that explosions constitute an argument.
“The voters were convinced of the Ubah slogan and that is why they voted for the PAS candidate.
“One of them said we have to follow what our children ask us to do,” he told a news conference to reveal the outcome of a UMcedel focus study in that constituency.
He said the seat was relatively safe for Barisan Nasional (BN) as it also consisted of two Felda settlements and an army camp.
“Saifuddin could not have lost because of his stature,” he added.
However, he said, many regretted not voting for Saifuddin after BN was returned to power.
Saifuddin polled 27,197 while PAS candidate Nasaruddin Hassan Tantawi garnered 28,267.
He said young voters, some from outstation, returned to cast their ballots for Nasaruddin, who won with a 1,070-vote majority.
The opposition also won two of the three state seats in the parliamentary constituency.
A total of 850 respondents were interviewed over three days from May 31 for the study.
Redzuan said Temerloh was selected as it was a multi-racial seat with 64 per cent Malays, Chinese (24 %) Indians ( 9 %) and others ( 3%).
Redzuan said interviews also revealed that public acceptance of Saifuddin, an Umno Supreme Council member, was about 60 per cent and many did not know the PAS candidate.
“They also did not support Saifuddin because of his party, Umno,” Redzuan said.
In an immediate response Saifuddin, who was present at the seminar, said about 7,000 outstation voters returned to cast their ballots and this contributed to his defeat.
“The study is extensive and I accept the finding as it is,” he told reporters.
He said he also spoke to Chinese local grassroots and civil society leaders to better understand the unprecedented swing.
Someone from somewhere must come out and take p119 Titiwangsa out of this insensible dark PAS box of despondency and self-flagellation is giving a false dose of some hope. Are we are neither cowards nor aggressors?. Then why should we doubt our win?
The present crisis, the Chinese belligerence, fifth tent after the fourth and an inhuman attitude of the PASS and DAPi bubble gum politics shouldn’t surprise us. But what surprises is the consensual mood of the nation not being read by the PAS. It’s time to speak in one voice, yes, we all agree, and Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani.must get the sense of people’s support now, rather than a crowd making noises in a hundred voices. But what that voice should be? into confidence about such grave incidents paving a way for a national consensus?
The Chinese say they like Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and agree that he has been an able and hardworking Prime Minister, The Chinese mood, after 2 week of campaigning, has softened forP119 candidate Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani.
Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani triumphed over Pas Ahmad Zamri Asa’ad Khuzaimi ’s racialist politics
No matter what happens, Malaysians must now put the electoral results behind us and try to look forward. It is time for national reconciliation. For those who have won should do as much soul-searching as those who have lost
Malaysian politics is changing. “Produce results that will benefit the country and we will support you,” is the thinking of the Malaysian voters today.
BN’s Saifuddin Abdullah was also defeated in Temerloh but Khairy Jamaluddin won big. Both represent the liberal side of UMNO.
Election epitomized the change that is now embracing Malaysian politics: we are now a development-democracy, looking towards the next generation for leadership and effective delivery become pivotal in politics. More important than race or religion! become the change we wish to see
Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani one with the impression that he is a man with a great vision and a lot of ideas He spoke impressively, eloquently and animatedly, often using colloquial expressions like “boss”, about how we need to change the political structure of our people ,he spoke impressively, eloquently and animatedly, often using colloquial expressions like “boss”, about how we need to change the political structure of our people.
Datuk Johari Abdul Ghan is treading the path with abundant caution, knowing well the inertia he is up against, and trying to learn from the past mistakes . Whatsoever be the case, UMNO is pinning hopes on Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani he needs to be a lot more visible, a lot more interactive, a lot more clear on specific issues that confront the country, and demonstrate the changes that have been brought about.Why does perfection need to be a punishing routine, leading to obsessive, rigid behaviour? Why should it rely heavily on judgement, and exclude normal life? Obviously, it isn’t meant to be a human trait. Human beings are designed to have flaws; perfection is meant for the Gods. I believe in 1 Malaysia. As far as I am concerned, 1 Malaysia is not just a concept or an ideal. It is something that I practise in my everyday life.
You see, I am the managing director and a major shareholder of a public listed company. The chief executive officer of the company is an Indian. The director of sales is a Chinese, so is the head of finance, the head of production is Indian, and the various heads of department are a mix of Malaysians, born and bred in this country of ours. I recognise and reward talents and performance when I see it. I live in 1 Malaysia.
The quest for perfection actually is a search for certainty, for a sense of control. Anything that stays within specified limits is under our control. The moment shapes shift and take on a life of their own, we lose control and hence, power. We force ourselves to conform to set practices and standards to the extent we forget our true selves in the quest to be “perfect.” Here then is a new look at perfection. Let’s call it the perfectly imperfect! Perfectly normal. A letting go of rigidity, of fastidiousness, the obsession of being the best. To achieve perfection is not to be obsessive and punishing; it is a letting go and allowing natural flaws to be as they are. It is perfectly fine to be perfectly average! Imperfection is fluid, perfection is cast in stone. Progress requires imperfection. Cultures around the world have embraced the concept of the perfect imperfect, often introducing deliberate flaws in works of art, either for religious or aesthetic reasons. The world famous Amish quilt makers deliberately leave an imperfection in their quilts because God alone can be perfect. Turkish shipbuilders and carpet weavers reportedly do the same to remind themselves that perfection is the sole prerogative of Allah. One of the central principles of Islamic art is not to compete with God for perfection.
Indeed our lot is as much to wonder why as it is to do and die! As humans with a critical reasoning faculty, we have an insatiable intellectual curiosity that needs to be indulged. It would have been disastrous if Newton had accepted that apples fall off trees and never wondered why! Or if man had accepted that birds can fly and not wondered why he can’t! It would truly be a pity to believe the false compliments of a tricky person and be unprepared for the hurt that follows.
Getting the opportunity to express ones ideas, shares ones expertise or even identify the issues that they young people in the existing system will open up communication and create channels of access with our political leaders for the next generation.
They need to know what we are thinking and we need to become a part of the solution.
Our goal is that youth will be directly working with political leaders and have the opportunity to express what they think might become a part of the solutions. Eventually we hope that all MPs and Ministers will seek out support from youth and fresh voices and faces will enter the political system.
Each generation has a defining political moment. For our generation it is the Hazaare movement where thousands gathered to express their dislike of the existing political system. The question remains what will the change be and who will be the change agents?
Najib (left) is calling it a “Chinese tsunami” but the reality goes beyond merely Chinese disenchantment. It is a swing away from the BN’s race-based formula in the cities.
Pakatan continues to bite at the BN’s heels. It has convincingly denied the BN its customary two-thirds majority, and made inroads into bastions Johor and Sabah. It continues to make inroads into fortress Sarawak. It is time that the BN begin to accept the reality that the days of a strong government and of strongmen are now over.
There were moments when many of us allowed ourselves to be carried away by unofficial reports that Pakatan was surging towards a victory. But the reality is that the odds were always stacked against the opposition coalition.
At the most basic level, it is possible to challenge even the overall understanding we have about who won and who lost.P119 DATUK JOHARI ABDUL GHANI will gain in terms of vote , which means that as a proportion of their existing vote share,. If we were to, for the sake of simplicity,readmore
