Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani said“To those P119 Titiwangsa hardcore PAS voters whose support I have yet to earn,” he said, “I may not have won your CONFIDENDENCE but I hear your voices , I need your help, and I will be your member of parliament too.”moment of change has come to P119 Titiwangsa even though enemies has spurred false rumors and insinuations about Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani can we the voters RISE TO THE OCCASSION WHEN THE P119 TITIWANGSA NEEDS US? PAS a quest for power that is wholly circumstantial. As a result, the exploitable asymmetries multiply for they are rooted in everyday opportunity- sometimes tempted by the thought of strategic ludo. It is the responsibility of PAS political masters to ensure that the game does not escalate into snakes-and-ladders. We are so mesmerised by the difference that we become indifferent to similarity. Competition is muscular; cooperation is a wimp. But UMNO andPAS have far more in common than they let on, in their past, and now in the possibilities of their future. History might yet prove, using its special long hand, that differences pale before a common purpose.the political establishment split in the effort to survive. the Gang of Four wrought havoc in PAS.
None of the mainstream political parties, including the secular groups, has promised to eliminate or at least enervate the influence of political Islam. No party manifesto envisions the separation of religion from politics and the affairs of the state. Malaysia’s democratic institutions are willingly offering enormous space and unquestionable concessions to Islam in everyday life. I have always believed that mixing up religion with politics is PASS ‘s greatest tragedy in Malaysia
A pattern that unites PAS DAP we have seen is in a new desire and facility in using power. At one level, there is nothing new about this- politics in Malaysia has largely been about the distribution and use of power, often in its most naked sense.In some ways, the present has democratised the flaws of the past and implanted them deep within a larger societal mindset. Today, everyone has a shot at their fifteen minutes of despotic power. In a world where the only boundary to one’s power is the power of someone else stronger, the urge is to meet brutality with even more brutality. The real need is to renegotiate a new form of order or at least begin a conscious dialogue towards that end. PAS politics of Brutality and outrage are part of the same world- one w ill never free us from the other.
FEW hardcore PAS P119 Titiwangsa PAS voters could have not anticipated the return of Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani in such striking fashion,Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani has drive and excellent suggestions for calming and resolving P119 Titiwangsa unsolve problem by PASS for the last five yearsl – and for going beyond to remain an effective, highly resonant leader.Barely in his Mid 40s, he has a quick smile and restless inclination to act The real need is to renegotiate a new form of order or at least begin a conscious dialogue towards that end. PAS misuse of Islam and outrage are part of the same world- one w ill never free us from the other.that makes PASS seem to be perpetual motion.There are three critical areas where PAS PRESIDENT ABDUL HADI AWANG needs immediate improvement in order to become the next prime minister state. Islamization is the last thing that will help PAS to achieve stability, progress and prosperity. Any future government that gives in to the Islamists or helps the youth achieve their desired Islamic form of governance or encourages the influence of religion over democratic institutions will significantly increase Malaysian’s woes.: Malaysia has come under tremendous national and international criticism for the appalling state of human rights. Without containing the influence of state policies tolerant of violence in the name of religion and operations by the non-state actors, PAS will constantly risk its religious and sectarian minorities.All political parties must commit to internal stability (leading to economic growth), respect for human rights and a balanced foreign policy. In order to accomplish that, PAS must secularize its democratic institutions. Without sticking to these goals,PAS PRESIDENT ABDUL HADI AWANG cannot find a road-map to stability. Elections should change policies, not only the regimes. Policy overhaul is precisely what Malaysian, on its part, requires at this juncture for its survival.Today’s crisis is motivated less by anger at the past, more by rage at a future denied. The young are back at the barricades. -UMNO and PAS cannot afford to postpone their prosperity through conflict over Islam,There is a sense of horror that pervades the news in recent months. It seems as is a basic form of humanity has been lost as one horrific instance of PAS ialamic propaganda follows another. It is as if routine exploitation Islam should no longer be.t is not easy to sum up 2012 without a deep feeling of despair. If 2011 was the year in which some fundamental structural issues with our political system were exposed, 2012 seems to have not only deepened our understanding of those shortcomings, but also made us alive to the deepening fissures in society. This was a terrible year in terms If one were to try and tease out some patterns underlying the events of this year, they might broadly fall under two, somewhat related heads. For one, we are beginning to see the tentative first steps towards the formation of the idea of citizenry; the notion that as citizens there exists a reciprocal responsibility to not only respond to one’s immediate environment, but also play an active role in managing it. Over the last couple of years, the interest in directly influencing modes of governance has grown; democracy as a practice is increasingly detaching itself from the narrow idea of elections. The political class has not understood this change; one has only to look at the fact that in the recent protests against PAS amal strike team, virtually no elected representatives, not even local politicians, were involved. When a movement that holds the nation’s attention with such intensity fails to stir the representatives of people even a little bit, the schism between citizenry and the polity can be deemed to be enduring.
Going into Malaysia’s 56th year of independence, one would assume that racism would not rear its ugly head especially among its leaders – young or old.
There is Barisan Nasional (BN) and its predecessor Alliance that has always put cooperation as one of its pillars. And there is PAS and DAP two multi-racial parties that have eschewed racism this pattern that has emerged is the deepening divide in society.2012 saw many incidents that underline the struggle to reconcile the many contrasting pulls and pressures that have followed in the wake of sweeping change over the last few years. It is now clear that the new came without any accompanying compass, and asked questions of the old that it did not have answers to. The larger question of change penetrating beneath the skin of the modern, into our everyday lives, and finding genuine and widespread acceptance is the really big one that we are left grappling with.
A lot has been said about the sickness that lies withinPAS and the need to change mindsets. The trouble is that society cannot be hectored into change, no matter how just the cause. Social change needs a whole ecosystem of actions, but above all it needs a real dialogue. We have seen unprecedented change in Malaysia that has come without any mechanism to justify itself or explain its implications. A small section of society has embraced enormous change and now looks at the rest of Malays with uncomprehending and often judgmental eyes. No intermediary mechanisms exist that would interpret this change and find place for it in the traditional way of life. The state does not function adequately nor do its institutions offer clear benchmarks, the market creates a sense of surface modernity while simultaneously reinforcing existing prejudices, and traditional institutions like religion have not really done their bit in making the new intelligible to the old, often acting to the contrary.Along with pushing for comprehensive reform that makes the legal framework more effective both in concept and delivery, it is also important to carry out a sustained societal dialogue. This is not the same as one section lecturing to another or ‘educating’ them from a superior vantage point, but a genuine dialogue between peers that addresses each other’s anxieties and aspirations. So many Indians are experiencing things for the first time in their lives. New freedoms need new boundaries, which in turn requires a framework that is relevant for the times. The old sources of authority that drew boundaries cannot make sense of the new, and no institutions are either facilitating a dialogue or stepping in to fill the void. The problems facing society have a lot to do with old mindsets being amplified by new freedoms, rather than being re-defined by them.
Malaysia media has some of the best journalists in the world. But we also have a diverse lot who differ in their beliefs on what’s worth reporting and how to report. Some merely report how Jack and Jill went up the hill and what happened thereafter; some others probe the reason for Jack’s fall; yet … Read more
