KJ Gagal Jiwai Asas Perjuangan UMNO?

Ada yang berkempen mahukan Ketua Pemuda UMNO, Khairy Jamaluddin (KJ) dipilih sebagai Presiden parti di dalam pemilihan UMNO nanti.

Mereka merasakan untuk memenangi hati pengundi, maka Presiden UMNO mestilah orang muda dan mengamalkan dasar populism tanpa mengira akibatnya kepada agama, bangsa dan tanah air.

Menariknya, Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir baru-baru ini juga menggesa KJ untuk bertanding jawatan Presiden UMNO.

Sebabnya, kenalah tanya Tun sendiri!

Walaupun saya hanya seorang pemerhati dan bukannya ahli UMNO, saya tahu dasar perjuangan UMNO adalah demi agama, bangsa dan tanah air seperti yang tertulis di dalam perlembagaan parti dan juga dalam seni kata lagu UMNO.

Maka Presiden UMNO mestilah mempunyai jati diri Melayu, berjiwa Melayu dan sayangkan agama Islam dan tanah air serta faham sejarah Tanah Melayu.

Saya terkilan apabila KJ mencadangkan keahlian UMNO dibuka kepada semua kaum dan disambut baik oleh mereka yang berpendirian sama seperti beliau.

Adakah KJ merasakan perjuangan demi agama, bangsa dan tanah air sudah tidak boleh diterima lagi atau ‘outdated’, atau KJ yang ‘out of touch’ dengan hati orang Melayu yang setia mengundi UMNO?

Juga, kenapa KJ tidak menyuarakan perkara ini semasa beliau masih menjadi Menteri Belia dan Sukan?

Dulu yang dihasratkan oleh KJ hanyalah politik baru, contohnya KJ memilih Regina Lee sebagai SUA, orang luar yang bukan penyokong parti dan tiada jiwa perjuangan parti.

Apakah itu satu tindakan yang bijak?

Pada tahun 2014, saya telah menulis sebuah artikel bertanya bagaimana KJ sanggup melancarkan buku yang ditulis oleh seorang aktivis COMANGO dan setiausaha agung Proham di dalam sebuah gereja?

Sedangkan COMANGO lantang menentang Islam dan kedudukan istimewa orang Melayu yang diperjuangkan oleh parti KJ iaitu UMNO. (Sila baca di sini)

Lebih teruk lagi, majlis itu berlangsung di dalam Gereja DUMC yang pernah menghentam UMNO iaitu parti KJ sendiri kerana kes serbuan JAIS pada 4 Ramadhan 2011 di mana JAIS bertindak selepas mendapat aduan tentang majlis yang meragukan.

Tindakan KJ itu telah menyebabkan rakyat yang mahu mempertahankan dasar kerajaan Islam di Malaysia marah terhadap UMNO; padahal merekalah di antara orang yang mengundi UMNO.

Bagi saya, KJ telah menikam UMNO kerana sebagai menteri UMNO, tindakan KJ dianggap sebagai polisi UMNO.

Jelas KJ tidak mampu mengangkat agenda Islam dan Melayu yang merupakan asas perjuangan parti UMNO!

Kegagalan KJ dan Ketua Puteri UMNO untuk meraih undi orang muda adalah di antara faktor besar yang menyebabkan kekalahan Barisan Nasional pada PRU14.

Sepatutnya, beliau seperti Dato’ Seri Najib dan Tan Sri Shahrizat haruslah bertanggungjawab dan bukannya mencari kesalahan orang lain khasnya menyalahkan Dato’ Seri Najib yang telah menyokongnya selama ini.

Tindakan Dato’ Seri Najib meletak jawatan setelah kekalahan BN, dan keputusan Tan Sri Shahrizat untuk tidak bertanding pada pemilihan UMNO kali ini adalah satu tindakan pemimpin yang matang dan bertanggungjawab.

Manakala KJ sebagai Ketua Pemuda yang gagal membawa undi orang muda kepada UMNO dan antara penyebab kepada kekalahan BN, bukan sahaja mahu bertanding jawatan yang lebih tinggi, malah sibuk menyalahkan orang lain.

Contohnya, di bawah tajuk, “KJ mengaku 1MDB punca UMNO tumbang” Astro Awani melaporkan:

Ketua Pemuda UMNO, Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar mengakui parti keramat Melayu itu tumbang kerana kegagalan menteri terdahulu menegur Presidennya yang juga bekas perdana menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak tentang skandal 1MDB – Astro Awani.

KJ sebagai Ketua Pemuda sepatutnya mempertahankan UMNO dan Presiden UMNO dari hari pertama UMNO dan Datuk Seri Najib diserang tetapi KJ gagal sehingga orang ramai percaya kepada persepsi lawan; dan sekarang KJ sendiri mempertikaikan dan menuduh orang yang menyokongnya selama ini, laksana menggigit tangan yang menyuapkan nasi.

Inikah sikap calon Presiden UMNO atau Ketua Pembangkang?

Buat pertama kali saya bersetuju dengan Pengerusi DAP Johor, Liew Chin Tong, bahawa KJ mesti tinggalkan UMNO, dan bentuklah sebuah parti baru yang berbilang kaum.

DAP dan PAS tidak pernah mengubah dasar perjuangan parti mereka biarpun mereka berkali-kali kalah di dalam pilihan raya.

Semoga UMNO kekal dengan dasar perjuangan parti dan dipimpin oleh pemimpin yang faham dan menjiwai dasar perjuangan UMNO.

My Highlights of 2017

With the arrival of the new year of 2018, I’m writing a post dedicated to 2017, listing out some of the things that happened around me in the previous year.

1. A surprise letter from Tun M, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia

On the 12th of January, I received a letter from Tun Dr. Mahathir, replying to my article,“Perjanjian DAP, PKR, PAN, PPBM Untuk Meminda Perkara 3(1)?” In the article, I did not even mention Tun M’s name but only commented about how the word ‘bebas’ in the agreement between DAP, PKR, PAN and Mahathir’s PPBM can undermine and violate the Article 3(1) of the Federal Constitution. So Tun M replied to my article came as a real surprise but unfortunately I am sad to say that not only Tun M’s explanation does not answer my question, but it also makes the matter more confusing because the fact that the Article 3(1) is the Article that explains about Islam as the religion of the Federation and it’s position over other religions in Malaysia and not about the rights to convert to other religions.

2. Made the news on national media

I was interviewed by Berita Harian, Utusan Malaysia and Harian Metro and was featured on the front page of Utusan Malaysia which later led me to being reported on news portals including Astro Awani, MalaysiaKini,  Free Malaysia Today, Tanjak and many others receiving attention from several politicians like Mejar Jeneral (B) Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom, Dr. Asyraf Wajdi, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and Ibrahim Ali. [Read more…]

Bila Liberal Mengajar Apa Itu Islam

Former Deputy Prime Minister’s grandchild, Tariq Ismail defended Tawfik Ismail’s uncalled statement to abolish JAKIM that had angered the Muslims in this country – please click here.

 

Asking Tawfik Ismail to simply apologise or face dire consequences is wrong. He did not question the sanctity of Islam. – Tariq Ismail via TMI

He was referring to PERKASA’s call for Tawfik Ismail to apologise to JAKIM and the Muslims.

Perkasa menggesa agar Tawfik Ismail segera memohon maaf kepada JAKIM dan umat Islam agar tidak berlaku implikasi yang negatif kepada beliau,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan di sini, hari ini. – Astro Awani

Before I go on, I must say that I do not agree with what TMI wrote as “face dire consequences” as the translation from “agar tidak berlaku implikasi yang negatif.”

Tawfik, in his interview with TMI did question the sanctity of Islam when he accused JAKIM as “seems to serve no other purpose than to intervene in the personal lives of Malaysians” for performing the duty to uphold Islam.

Is Tawfik not questioning the sanctity of Islam when he implies that it is right for the Muslims to return to the time when people drinks brandy and whisky during meetings and own dogs?

Denying Islamic rules, means that one is questioning the sanctity of Islam.

Saying something that is haram as alright and something that is wajib as wrong in the context of Islam is questioning the sanctity of Islam.

Tawfik is against of, “tried to infuse their definition of “Islamic values” into every aspect of Malaysian life” – if he was referring to JAKIM’s definition of Islamic values which is of the Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah, Tawfik again is questioning the sanctity of Islam.

Apart from defending Tawfik’s arguments about JAKIM, Tariq also had bad thing to say about the Syariah Court:

Currently, we have a Shariah Court that sometimes does not seek to uphold justice; those with money and influence have corrupted the sanctity of this institution. – TMI

Tawfik must not only apologise to JAKIM and the Muslims but more importantly he must bertaubat to Allah or repent and get his akidah right; and if Tariq agrees with Tawfik’s liberal thinking then he too must get his akidah right.

As I wrote in my previous post,Tawfik Tun Dr Ismail Wants Jakim Abolished,” Tawfik is so confused about Islam and he needs help from JAKIM to go back to the true path of Islam.

We have to follow the real teaching of Islam.

In Malaysia, we are the Muslims of Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah from the Shafie school of thought or madhhab, so this is the guideline followed by JAKIM.

The true teaching of Islam is always relevant, therefore it must never be evolved or liberalised by anybody.

Tian Chua Menipu Lagi?

On March 9, a Free Anwar petition entitled, “Make the release of Malaysian Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim from prison a top priority for US policy toward Malaysia” was removed from the White House portal.

In response to the matter, PKR Vice President, Tian Chua tweeted as below, blaming the Malaysian government for the removal of the petition.

Tian Chua

On March 10, the petition was restored, and Astro Awani published an official statement from the U.S. Embassy statement saying:

“On March 9, White House standard fraud checks indicated a high number of anomalous signatures on a petition related to the imprisonment of de facto leader, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

There were multiple petitions related to this issue, and after follow-up assessment, the White House determined that the petition it removed was not the one that contained fraudulent signatures.

To account for the error, the White House has since re-enabled the petition titled “Make the Release of Malaysian Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim from Prison a Top Priority for U.S. Policy toward Malaysia,” and is extending the deadline to account for the time lost while the petition was disabled.

No signatures were removed.”

Has Tian Chua admitted that he was wrong and apologises to the Malaysian government for wrongly blaming the government?

No, as always, he did not; in fact, this is not the first time he made wild such accusation towards the government of Malaysia.

This is another defamatory attempt to disrepute the the government of Malaysia by Tian Chua.

Karpal Singh once said that, “Anwar Ibrahim harus bertaubat”; so Tian Chua must repent and stop sending spiteful tweets or making malicious allegations towards the government.

The Star reported that a Malaysian student, Ahmad Izat Ahmad Nazmi, was mugged by a trio of juveniles as he was walking alone Monday evening.

The trio were believed to be aged between eight and 14 years.

Ahmad Izat Ahmad Nazmi who is an Industrial Economy student at the Nottingham University, was stabbed multiple times after he chased them and fought to recover his belongings.

It was also reported that passers-by and residents in the area heard his pleas for help but ignored him.

A good Samaritan helped him to call the police, who took him to a hospital, where he needed 11 stitches for his wounds.
