The March 2008 Election which changed the political landscape of
the nation and challenged the ruling elites domination of the past fifty years,
has precipitated the current divisive political paranoia.The Malay votes and
support which was the solid base for Alliance and Barisan Nasional was jolted
by the mere 36% of votes UMNO received in the 12th General election.
And the entire current debacle besieging the nation can be traced to the
historical backlash of Malay voters to that Electoral Tsunami.
The ‘Allah’ issue has been
hijacked again, true to the agenda of UMNO of ‘Tranformasi”. Even though it’s still an
unresolved Court
case, Fatwas (Religious edicts) has been promulgated that it is an
exclusive word only to be used by Muslims, even though its Pre Islamic name for
God in the Middle East, JAKIM is spearheading of this divisive enigma without
any basis on any anthropological or historical studies. is beyond any doubt it
is following orders from their supreme masters of UMNO. Friday sermons last Friday 25th
Jan throughout the country lambasted JAKIM’s battle cry, calling all faithful
to ‘defeat’ the attempts of the Kufars (Infidels) and upkeep the sanctity of
Islam. JAKIM as the lap dog and lackey of UMNO is playing their part as
spokesman and authority of Islam in abusing the Islamic faith for the political
expediency of UMNO. And UMNO which has
long lost all semblance of goodwill from the people and who now stand disgraced and corrupted and
rotten to the core; is orchestrating and choreographing the Malay Bible issue
to win back its lost Malay support. As saying goes, in love, war and politics
the end satisfy the means, UMNO is now clinging to religious hatred and racial
supremacy as their mantra to reach the shore of salvation, not knowing that the
driftwood they are holding hastily is a crocodile in disguise which can consume
them before they can reach the shore, which can rip the nation of its existence
and malign the fabric of nationhood.
The Chinese component parties of
Barisal Nasional MCA and Gerakan which received their death blow at the last
elections, and the lose of Chinese support for the ruling party which is
a foregone conclusion, and for the Indians, Barisan National strongly feels it
is suffice of them to throw bread crump’s for Temples,Tamil schools and giving
hampers with rice and condensed milk is enough to keep them supporting them eternally.
As UMNO is now flagging their muscles that they have ‘regained’ the Tamil’s
support and they are now only bent to appease and cajole the Malay masses. And now they are going down with the most heinous,
destructive and primitive policies of race and religion in the footstep of the ‘demolisher
of the countries unity and goodwill’ Tun Mahathir Mohamad to win back Malay
support.
UMNO’s attempt to bring back PAS
the theocratic party to their fold, citing Malay and Islamic unity as their
catchword, even though is dismal failure, nevertheless it has dented and
succeeded to sow seeds of hatred among a section of PAS supporters towards
PAKATAN RAKYAT with the grace of the ‘Allah’ issue. PAS which was very consistent
in portraying them as level headed Muslims and which is gaining wide spread
support from varied spectrum of the population, are now being challenged to
fall in the trap of UMNO, which somehow rather is in same league with UMNO in
the Allah Issue. So UMNO at last succeeded in breaking the fraternity of the
loose coalition of PAKATAN RAKYAT. And some of the diverse and confusing
statement from a section of PAS, its quiet clear they are shooting their own legs, contrary to the
agreed fraternity of the Opposition Block.
The UMNO’s PERKASA which is
calling for the burning of Malay Language Bible is being justified shamelessly
by the government controlled Main Stream Media. The Attorney General Chambers
and the Police are acting as if they are another component party of Barisan
National in their total lack of action against the seditious statement of
Ibrahim Ali. The people of Sabah and Sarawak who joined as independent entities
in the formation of Malaysia with 20 point and 18 point agreement now stand
betrayed, when their fundamental right to practice their faith is being breached
by the Federal Government, which is more interested in winning the back Malay
votes and now busily embroiled in the racial religious politics of Peninsula
Malaysia, rather than safeguarding the interest and rights of the nation with
people of divergent nature.
The religious delirium by ruling elite to
maintain their status qua with the exploitation of trivial racial and religious
issues must be stopped at all cost, to save the nation from falling in the abyss
political disgrace and stand tall among nations that we are a civilized coun
