Former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir sang “Imagine”, a song by John Lennon during a program at MMU.
It shocked me because since it is an English song, I’m sure Tun understands its lyrics.
My questions are:
-
Does Tun M understand the true message of the song?
-
Does Tun support liberalism?
-
As a Malaysian Muslim leader, why did Tun sing “Imagine”, a song with lyrics that is clearly against the teaching of Islam and the first principal of the Rukun Negara to his audience?
-
Is Tun telling the audience that like John Lennon, he too likes to imagine a world with no religion?
-
Does he “imagine there’s no heaven” and “no hell below us” because he loves to blame others for nothing and slander others to get what he wants, like what he is doing to our Prime Minister Najib?
-
By singing this song, does he like John Lennon, want to be free from religion and is calling others to join him as said in part of the chorus of the song, “I hope someday you’ll join us, And the world will be as one.”
-
Is Tun trying to tell the audience that “no religion” is a way to make people live in peace? (And no religion too, Imagine all the people, Living life in peace…)
-
In other words, is it religion that makes people fight?
-
Now to his supporters, what do they feel when they hear Tun, as their icon singing such song?
-
And what will they say if it was Dato’ Sri Najib who sings the song.
