1M PM6 Najib : 31 years too late...

This scribe dare not say that what Najib propose is wrong or right. You see, this scribe is not an advocate of SIS to go blindly against the ulamas. This scribe offers no excuse in admitting that there are much more to learn from Islam's point of view. This scribe prefer to remain silent on his stand regarding this issue. Suffice to say that Najib's proposal might be 31 years too late...

1. Sometimes, it is hard to start when your heart is at the crossroads. Telan mati mak, luah mati bapak...
2. 1M PM6 Najib sure knows how to hit the soft spot when he lamented that "it is a religious duty to talk (discuss)". In a nutshell, he says (meant) the following :-
   • Unity and efforts to fight for Islam is an obligation;
   • We get blessings when we follow the obligations;
   • Don't let political differences become the obstacle;
   • Rejected that the UG concept is against his 1M concept;
   • He is open to unity talks (with PAS) as this is beyond politics;
   • PAS is the one who came up with UG;
   • PAS's rejection to unity talk is not the wishes of the whole party members;
3. Let us try to be objective in examining what Najib is saying against BN's backdrop of actions since PAS left BN is 1978, some 31 years ago...
4. Islam did mention that when there is a dispute between 2 groups, then go back to the source ie the Koran in getting the best solution, thus avoiding split ups. That happens when both groups are disputing based on their interpretation of the religion. And in Islam, religion is the way of life...
5. However, in this particular case, what was BN's stand when the authorities acted mercilessly on Memali villagers in 1985? This incident has the go ahead from Musa Hitam, the then deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. 14 civilians and 4 policemen died. Did BN refer to unity and follow due obligations?
6. What about the time when BN conspired to force a "take over" of Kelantan in 1978? Isn't that political differences that BN work on to take over Kelantan in 1978 and govern the state for 18 years?
7. What about the constant attack on Amanat Hadi Awang? PAS, way back in 2001, is willing to talk about the "amanat" in unity talks with BN. Did BN took the offer? No? Why? Because BN was strong at that time and looks to PAS as a small fry that can be swap dead at any time of BN's choosing.
8. Do I need to mention more? What about the treatment given to PAS-led government in Terengganu circa 1999? Who propose to take the oil royalty away from the state coffers? Isn't that the works of Idris Jusoh & co? And Najib wants to say "do not let political differences be an obstacles".
   
9. What about the many issues concerning Kemas, happening in Perak, Terengganu and Kelantan? Who blows up the issues? Isn't that the trademark of BN?
10. And remember M2T? The person responsible to create parallel ketua kampungs for Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah and Perak. Is that what Najib means by unity beyond politics?
11. Have we mentioned about the countless Bumiputera who were not given any chance because they are suspected opposition symphatisers? How BN treat them worse than the rest?
12. Before this scribe forgets, what about the purposely slow cash flow to opposition held states especially Kelantan? Is that what "beyond politics" mean?
13. We have not mentioned about the countless inhabitants of Kamunting, courtesy of ISA. Are they not mainly opposition members? Is this Najib's "effort to fight for Islam"? Islam talks about fairness. If they are guilty, charge them in court!! Has Islam ever called for unlawful detention?
14. It is most dangerous when leaders interpret Islam to their advantage only and taking bits and pieces which benefit them. When Najib want to talk about unity in Islam, he must be willing to talk in the context of Islam as a whole. Is he willing? If he is, then...
15. Najib should ask himself, what is the criteria to be a leader from Islam point of view? Has Najib ever measure himself against Islam's standards as a leader? If he did, then did he confront the accusation linking him to certain deals and high profile court cases which is splashed in foreign newspapers and blogs? How well did Najib "educate" his wife on Islam? I have not seen Rosmah wearing proper tudung, is that Islamic, Najib?
    
16. I did not say Najib is wrong. He may be right, he may be sincere but he mix between talks about strengthening Islam and UG. What is his actual purpose? To see PR infighting? To see PAS splitting? If that is his aim, then his intention is not for Islam but for his BN's political survival...
17. Najib may have a good approach but he needs to include PKR and DAP in his roadmap. Why is he omitting the 2?
18. Najib has been busy visiting far away places, reminiscing his father's path. He may be thinking hard to emulate his father but his actions is 31 years too late...
19. This scribe dare not say that what Najib propose is wrong or right. You see, this scribe is not an advocate of SIS to go blindly against the ulamas. This scribe offers no excuse in admitting that there are much more to learn from Islam's point of view. This scribe prefer to remain silent on his stand regarding this issue.
