SELIDIKI BERITA DARI ORANG FASIK


1. Saya berterimakasih kepada Amin Tan yang memperingati saya bahawa saya bukan ulama. Justeru itu saya lebih baik tumpu kepada bidang yang saya miliki kebolehan, seperti bidang perubatan dan pentadbiran.

2. Tiap kali saya sentuh hal-hal yang bersangkutan dengan agama Islam saya menerima peringatan ini. Saya umarak dan bukan ulama. Jangan bercakap berkenaan agama Islam.

3. Apakah seorang Muslim tidak perlu faham akan ajaran Islam barang sedikit pun? Apakah seorang Muslim dikehendaki mengikut secara buta-tuli apa sahaja yang didakwa oleh orang yang berpelajaran agama walaupun dakwaannya jelas bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam seperti yang diketahui oleh semua orang Islam?

KETAKSUBAN PUAK ASSABIAH


1. Kita sebagai orang Islam menerima semua ajaran Islam. Tetapi kita tidak dapat faham dengan mudah semua ajaran islam yang terdapat dalam Al-Quran dan Hadith yang sahih. Justeru kita terpaksa bergantung kepada orang yang faham untuk terjemaahan dan tafsiran.

2. Mereka ini memang arif kerana mereka mendalami dalam bidang agama, termasuk membaca kitab-kitab tafsir selain dari Al-Quran dan Hadith. Tetapi mereka bukan Nabi. Sebaliknya mereka adalah manusia biasa. Dan sebagai manusia biasa mereka lemah dan terdedah kepada kemungkinan membuat kesilapan dan kesalahan. Sebab itulah kita dapati perbezaan antara tafsiran-tafsiran yang dibuat oleh mereka berkenaan perkara yang sama. Kadang-kadang perbezaan tafsiran mereka begitu ketara sehingga mereka dan pengikut mereka sering bermusuh dengan yang lain sehingga membunuh dan berperang. Kita baca berkenaan pengebom Syiah menyerang dan membunuh puak Sunni dan sebaliknya. Demikian juga dengan pengikut-pengikut pentafsir lain, Ahmadiah umpamanya.

3. Agama Islam yang dibawa oleh Nabi Muhammad s.a.w hanyalah satu. Sekarang terdapat banyak puak-puak atau mazhab Islam kerana mengikut ajaran dan tafsiran imam dan ulama yang berlainan.

KEJATUHAN NEGARA ISLAM PAS

1. Saya tertarik dengan penjelasan Nik Aziz kenapa selepas 30 tahun mengguna “perjuangan untuk Negara Islam ala PAS” untuk mendapat sokongan orang Melayu, sekarang PAS menggugurkan Negara Islam dan hukum Hudud. Kononnya Nik Aziz berpandukan Al-Quran dan Hadith.

2. Apakah Nik Aziz baru saja baca Surah Al-Baqarah dan sedar yang Negara Islam PAS menimbul salah faham dan menakutkan pihak tertentu? Jikalau kerana kesedaran ini akan menakutkan pihak tertentu (orang bukan Islam – Karpal Singh) maka PAS menggugur Negara Islam PAS, maka benarlah yang pengguguran ini bertujuan untuk menghapuskan ketakutan mereka ini, supaya mereka akan sokong PAS dalam pilihanraya, dan bukan kerana agama membenarkan atau tidak.

3. Kerana UMNO tidak menyokong Negara Islam PAS dan hukum Hudud PAS, Nik Aziz tidak terima UMNO.

SIAPA MENANG SIAPA KALAH


1. Dalam pertandingan tentu ada yang menang dan yang kalah. Pertandingan jarang menghasil keputusan “Menang Menang”, dengan semua yang bertanding berjaya. Demikianlah juga Muktamar PAS yang baru lepas – terdapat yang menang dan yang kalah.

2. Katanya yang kalah ialah puak ulama. Yang menang ialah puak kopiah hitam, penyokong Anwar. Syabas.

3. Tetapi yang menang besar ialah tokoh yang tidak hadir dan bukan pun ahli PAS. Ianya ialah Karpal Singh. Perjuangannya supaya PAS gugurkan matlamat untuk mendiri negara Islam PAS yang akan kuatkuasakan hukum hudud sudah pun tercapai. Karpal tidak perlu mati untuk PAS langkah mayatnya. Belum pun ia mati PAS sekarang sudah menjadikan perjuangan untuk negara Islam dan hukum hudud tidak lagi perkara utama. Sekarang PAS akan berjuang untuk negara kebajikan.

PLANTING TREES

1. Malaysia is blessed with a climate and soil that enables trees to take root and grow very fast. Our success in the plantation industry is due to this. The trees we grow, rubber, oil palm tree and cocoa are foreign to Malaysia yet they grow better here than in the countries of their origins.

2. However, the success of our plantation industry has totally affected out thinking. We know that by planting trees in perfect rows, with the trees separated from each other by a specific distance, we maximise the potential for growth and render the extraction of the latex or the fruits easier and more efficiently. We miss none of the trees when we tap rubber or bring down the fruits.

3. But forest trees do not grow in rows. They are scattered haphazardly. It is this which gives the forest their special appearance or character.

THE RINGGIT AND THE DOLLAR

1. The dollar i.e. the US dollar has been depreciating against the Ringgit. It is now hovering just below RM3.00 to 1 USD. Obviously this currency crisis is not over yet. Obviously the US is still in trouble. Europe is also in trouble and so is the rest of the world. This is the longest financial crisis in history. It is now in the fourth year.

2. This crisis started in the US in 2008 with the banks going bankrupt because the sub-prime loans defaulted and Lehman Brothers went bankrupt. Since then the US Government has been printing money by the trillions to bail out banks, insurance and automobile companies.

3. Currently Greece is still unable to repay loans caused by the switch to the Euro.

THE FOREST OF KUALA LUMPUR

1. It is great to watch Kuala Lumpur grow. We see everywhere the cranes marking the sites of new development. There are skyscrapers in every corner, great skyscrapers of fantastic shapes and heights. Kuala Lumpur now looks like other great cities of the world.

2. But if you look again you will see that it is still quite green, greener than most other cities. New landscaping with mature trees have contributed towards this greenness.

3. But there are here and there patches of forests, as dense as the well-known tropical forests of Malaysia. They are thick with undergrowth which make them as impenetrable. The trees are tall and so leafy that they cut off all the light of the sun in the day time. You cannot see through these miniature forests and I think you cannot walk through them either.

NO FLY ZONE

1. What does the ordinary man imagine a no-fly zone is about? I believe he would imagine a sky without any planes flying. At most he would expect to see only military aircrafts of the enforcing nations flying over the zone to ensure the aircrafts of the targeted country are not flying over the zone.

2. In the case of the Iraqi no-fly zone, the enforcing nations apparently believed that “no-fly zone” is about blockading the zone to deprive it from receiving supplies of all kinds including food and medicine. As a result an estimated 500,000 Iraqi children were born deformed or were still-born due to the affect of bombs and shells with depleted uranium used in the Gulf War against Iraq.

3. Now once again a “no-fly zone” has been declared over Libya, this time by the United Nations. The Arab countries have also supported this resolution.

VICTORY IN SARAWAK 2

1. Every time I mention DAP’s racism, the hackneyed rebuttal is that UMNO is a racial party, more than DAP.

2. UMNO, MCA and MIC are racial parties but they contest elections not under their own party names but as the Alliance or BN coalition. As a member of a multi-racial coalition they cannot promote only Malay, Chinese or Indian interests. They have coalesced into one political entity and their struggle is for all the races in that entity. The race based parties working together in the interest of members of all races lose their racial character.

3. The DAP, like the PAP, claims to be multi-racial but everyone knows the overwhelming majority of their members, supporters and their leaders are Chinese. And their struggle is principally against anything Malay and for what they claim to be Chinese rights. Their disguise that they are for Malaysians is exactly that – it is a disguise. No one is taken in by their claim to be multiracial.

VICTORY IN SARAWAK

1. I would like to congratulate Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, the chairman of Barisan Nasional in Sarawak for the victory achieved by the party in the recent election.

2. Dato Seri Najib and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin also deserves to be congratulated. The two were on the ground campaigning almost throughout the whole campaign period. They worked very hard and they had good supporting staff from the Peninsular as well as Sarawak.

3. I congratulate the DAP for bringing its racist politics to Sarawak. Before this all races co-operated well with each other for the good of Sarawak. Now we see clearly that the Chinese community in Sarawak has rejected multi-racialism.
