COMMENTS recarding MCA President Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek in his speech at the 59th MCA general assembly on October 21st and said eight of the 11 countries that implement Hudud are considered among the most corrupt, unstable and unsafe countrues.
In the speech which was attended Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Soi Lek claimed that 1.2 million Malaysians will lose their jobs should PAS implement Hudud in Malaysia.
Following Soi Lek’s statement Soi Lek, for more than two weeks, the media, political leaders, academics and Islamic theologians protested and condemned Soi Lek’s statement.
The worst effect from Soi Lek’s statement was that Najib was at the rally.
Openly and indirectly and Najib is perceived as a leader who lets his religion and race be insulted in front of him.
Najib’s attitude and silence is regarded as a cowardice and a traitor to his race and religion even though he is the leader of the party which is supposed to defend the Malay race and Islam.
While Soi Lek’s statement is very sensitive not only to the Malays and Islam, in fact it is able become a threat to national security.
Certainly if any of the leaders of the Pakatan Rakyat had made that statement, they will be detained under ISA or any other related Acts.
Soi Lek’s action was not only an insult to the Malay race and Islam but it is also considered as trying to interfere with Islam.
The British way of previously of not interfering with Islam but interfering with other affairs is evidence that the British recognised the sensitivity of Malays and Muslims.
Perak Mufti, Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria had said that Soi Lek is not entitled to make the statement and that Soi Lek’s statement is considered rude, an insult and humiliating Islam.
Soi Lek’s statement that had hurt Muslims especially the Malays would be a very big issue should Umno fail to address it.
What was more unfortunate is that Najib bore witness to all these insults from Soi Lek mouth.
Meanwhile, the action of the PAS Youth bringing the issue up to the Yang Di Pertuan Agung can also be seen to cause the confidence of Malays towards Umno whose leader is Najib.
Najib aware of Lost Support
In the political context, everyone realises that Umno relies on the support of Malays. His action regarding Soi Lek insulting Islamic law will benefit PAS and Pakatan Rakyat.
Najib also realises that the issue’s potential will be used as soon as possible by PR to sway Malay voters into leaving the party.
Umno’s ‘Think Tank’ may share the same stance.
Najib and the Umno ‘Think Tank’ is finding it serious enough for Umno to continue their survival in the upcoming 13th General Elections.
Reports from the Army, police, JASA and Kemas has forced him to postpone the 13th General Elections to and indeterminate time.
Nurul Izzah Becomes the Black Sheep
Recognizing the ‘danger’ of the issue, making someone else a black sheep has to be done to cover-up the issue.
The culture of running away from the real issue is known by the people by practicing defamation and ‘whatever’ is part and parcel of what Umno has been practicing for over half a century.
It is very stupid, not intelligent and moronic if an educated politician such as Nurul Izzah Anwar made a statement to legalize apostasy.
To anyone who heard her statements in the forum entitled “Islamic State: Which version? Whose responsibility?” will find that the leader of the opposition’s daughter had never said that.
The forum that used English as a medium can be easily manipulated by the Umno-owned media to the majority of Malays in villages who do not understand the language.
Nurul Izzah’s action in instructing her lawyer to take legal action and make a report to JAIS regarding the defamation which was issued by the Umno-owned media was the best approach.
