It really makes me wonder about some Muslim Politicians. They love to go about trying to portray as if Malaysia is a lawless country where everyone can do anything they want.
Malaysia has a legal system. Its legal system originates from England because our forefathers chose it to use it as a base. If our forefathers, who were really good Muslims, wanted a Syariah based legal system, they would have implemented it yonks ago. Instead to be fair to all races and religions – they chose a common law to ensure everyone is equal under law.
First and foremost this must be understood by Muslims and non Muslims alike – we already have a legal system and a good one at that. Why segregate people using Syariah law ?
Second, Syariah law may be God’s law, but its implementation is still by human beings and everyone knows when it comes to religion – its full of ulterior motives. Syariah is biased when it comes to non-Muslims. With current Malaysian constitutional law, there could be chance that one day a non-Muslim could become the prime minister. Syariah removes all abilities of that. It hands Muslims a silver platter and removes the rights of individuals – Muslims and non Muslims alike. It leaves the rule of law to theology and politicians with ulterior motives than to benefit the common folk. The state of Syariah implementations in countries across the world shows this clearly.
Third, forcing Syariah into a country with existing laws is a form of extremism. Think about it. The National Registration Department registers births, deaths etc. So if someone walks into NRD and wants to change their religion – what business does NRD or anyone for that matter (except God) to the choice of the person ? Why should a person who doesn’t want to practice a religion be forced to stay in it ? Muslims talk about progressive and intellectual thinking but when it comes to God, they act as if they are cave people. Why regulate something that doesn’t need regulating. Why is it that when it comes to Islam, the states are so insecure in thinking that everyone is just waiting to leave Islam ? Is there something they are hiding that is a ticking time bomb which is going to make Malaysian Muslims leave Islam in groups ? What do they mean by regulation – flogging people until they submit ? Is this what Syariah and Islam is all about ?
Fourth, while Islam does not have moral policing, Syariah and its implementers actively encourage it. More often than not this brings more harm than good. So giving Syariah law criminal jurisdiction encourages abuse. Leave policing to the police. That’s what they are paid to do.
Fifth, its a fallacy and outright lie that Malays are automatically Muslims. East Malaysian Malays are Christians. They have been Christians for generations.
Islamic politics in Malaysia are causing Malaysian Muslims to deviate away from the true Islamic religion to deviant fundamentalism by the day. The current issue with "Allah" is the perfect example… Malaysian Muslims seem to want to *own* Allah in a misguided attempt to achieve superiority over other races. This is not Islamic in any way. Malaysian Muslims are confused in thinking that Allah belongs to the Muslims. This is how deviant they have been from true Islam. Allah is an Abrahamic God. It is the same God for Jews, Christians and Muslims. This is repeated multiple times in the Quran. Here lies the bigger problem. The average Malaysian Muslims doesn’t read the Quran. He merely memorizes it and leave it to some religious leader to fill in the blanks. When you don’t go to the source, you get a lot of crap in the mix. This is why Malaysian Muslims in general have become so deviant. They have become so ignorant about the fundamentals of Islam. Islam is about brotherhood. This means you cannot go kill someone just because you disagree with them. Islam is about charity. Every year, in the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast to remind themselves of this important thing. Charity means the ability to share and give. So why do Malaysian Muslims need to own Allah? Islam means submissive. Why is it for some Malaysian Muslims, being Malay is more important than being a Muslim ? Why do they need their affirmative policies when Islam says everyone is equal ?
Finally, Muslim politicians must understand that we are in a country with laws. And that law is absolute and for everyone. Over the decades this law has been raped by UMNO politicians to suit their own agendas – the last thing we need is politicians from other parties doing the same thing – in the name of Islam. Religion and politics should not be mixed in anyway because it will always be biased towards the religion – no matter how good the intention may be. The more biased it becomes the higher chance of it being deviant from the true teachings of the religion. Islam is in very big danger of this.
I’ll leave you with this thought : God blesses all humans with money, health, wealth, rain and food. Why should Muslims discriminate non Muslims over the same thing ? Are Muslims more important than God ?

Response to this article on The Nutgraph.
A very good observation about indoctrination. BTN and indoctrination exists because :
1. To ensure that UMNO’s version of Islam is permeated throughout the nation. Think about it. Every single religious official is hand picked and fed UMNO’s version of Islam. That it is ok to tread on non-Muslim rights, its OK to be racists, corruption is OK and that Malaysian Malays are better than anyone else.
2. To ensure that citizens, especially those in government have the servitude mentality especially to the powers that be. To unconditionally serve UMNO’s purposes. Anything less than that – you are made to believe that you are the enemy of the state.
3. To ensure that every citizen, especially Malay Malaysians are suspect of other citizens. Only UMNO can be trusted. This *trust* cannot be extended to any other BN component parties and other races. Ever wonder why all top government posts are now filled with specifically of Malaysian Malays ? Specifically Armed Forces, Police including Special Branch, Rela etc. Who will these security forces serve should the opposition ever win the elections ? Worse still, will they serve UMNO and destabilize the country ? As it is no secret that the Royal Malaysian Police along with its Special Branch exclusively work in unison with UMNO.
4. The education system is politically motivated to ensure maximum indoctrination about the Malay race. Historical facts about Parameswara, Munshi Abdullah, Hang Li Po have been systematically eradicated from the syllabus or reduces to mere lines. Why? It doesn’t fit into the Malay supremacy ideology. Neither does archaeological studies on chandi in Bruas Kedah. Terms like Merong Mahawangsa, Chola Empire, GanggaNagara etc have all a distant memory. Ask any school going kids these days – they never heard of it! But, instead students are made to learn about Arab culture which have no bearing on Malaysia or Malaysian Malays. Sure Islam is the "official" religion, but since when Malay Muslims became Arabs ? The identity of Malay Malaysians have slowly been turned into Arab culture over the decades to fit into UMNO’s Islamisation policies.
Has anyone stopped to ask why indoctrination and BTN so important so much so that BTN reports to the Prime Minister’s Department ? The answer is : Dr. Mahathir. If you have all your citizens under your thumb you can do whatever you want. Every single government department under Mahathir’s rule was filled with UMNO loyalists who exist till today. And Mahathir got away with it for a long long time. He had the citizens and even the royals under his thumb. His fatal flaw was he didn’t realise how popular DSAI is.
Still BTN continues the damage control on Mahathir’s behalf – painting DSAI as a traitor to the Malay race. BTN is the remnants of the Mahathir legacy. His gift to the average Malaysian from all walks of life. BTN is the reason why government service desks are rude. BTN is the reason why corruption is rife in the police force. BTN is the reason why people like Kugan are treated like animals by the police. BTN produced generation of "Cow Head Protestors". BTN produced religious extremists who now are in high religious positions pumping out fatwas like printing press.
BTN and its indoctrination is Dr Mahathir’s view of Malaysia but just has Adolf Hitler envisaged his Aryan race – its only a dream. Or is it ? Every day we hear Utusan and other Malay propaganda machinery warn us "Do not mess with the Malays". What is it that they know that they rest of us don’t. Is there a Plan B for UMNO ? Will there be a martial law exercised should the current government fall ?
In order for UMNO to set up an indoctrination plan – it first must believe that there is a clear and present danger of dissent in Malaysian society. BTN is the first line of defence. If so, what is the last line ?

My response to "PAS Balancing Act in Nutgraph :
"Fourteen hundred years ago, the Muslims did not question the law and [abided] faithfully; they [did] not need to ask the reason why."
Unfortunately, at this day and age, not questioning laws is bringing Malaysia to its knees. Fourteen hundred years ago, we had politician and leaders of the highest calibre. They made decisions with the greatest wisdom.
Today we have poor class politicians character and religious bodies who are ready with a bag full of fatwas on standby to appease their political masters.
Even in PAS, politicians seem to make these rules not for the benefit of the people but for their own agenda. Hasan Ali and Zulkifli Noordin(PKR) are classic examples of the hypocrisy of PAS. PAS preaches as if the problem in this country is its democratic principals.
The problem in this country is its corrupt politicians and their party. Making it an Islamic government will not make it less corrupt but will only make a mockery of a religious foundation. Besides, who will then speak for the non Islamic minority ?
History has shown us time and time again politics and religion do not mix. But PAS is an Islamic party. So will this party work for the greater good or work for the people of Malaysia. Working for a greater good may not be the right thing in a multi cultural and multi ethnic country like Malaysia. Why? Because non-Muslims in Malaysia do like to consume alcohol and pork. They do like to watch cartoons with pigs on TV. A large portion of them are MTV generation and love their music videos and concerts. And they love to hold hands in public.
Is PAS going to do a blanket ban on all that ? What about moderate Muslims. Is PAS going to force feed their "version" of Islam down the throat of every Muslim and non Muslim in Malaysia. (The reason I say version is because Islam like other religions has its denominations.)
The next question is what calibre of politicians come from PAS ? We already have Islamic thugs from PRK – Zulkifli Noordin who talks nothing like an educated lawyer. Are we to expect more of this "fine form of professionalism" with *everything* PAS does not agree? Will non conformists be burnt at the stake if PAS should come into power ?
It seems to me that PAS says one thing and does another. It doesn’t seem to have control of its members who generally don’t behave like civilized men and women and are second only to UMNO members when it comes to hypocrisy (munafiq).
I am asking the questions that are in the hearts and minds of every Malaysian including the Muslims themselves. Some people are convinced that "anything but UMNO" is better. But I don’t want Malaysia to get out of the frying pan and end up into the fire.
If PAS thinks it can recite a few verses from the Quran it has another thing coming to it. Until PAS establishes a proper framework and guidelines for itself and its members and refrains from blaming divinity for its shortcomings or its policies – it will find many Malaysians, Muslims or otherwise will refrain from voting it. Why? Because "its better the devil you know".

I would have to admit that UMNO’ lap dog newspaper continues to publish some of the best and racist articles at this day in Malaysia.
First of all, we have to ask what Malaysia really is. Is it a ancient Malay land with squatter migrants or its a fully democratic modern nearly developed country made up of various races that make up its citizens.
If you ask any outsider and in fact majority of its citizens, it would be the latter. After all, most non Malay Malaysians are third and fourth generation Malaysians who no longer identify with their country of their ancestors. In addition, non Malay Malaysians readily identify the sultans and king as their very own.
But if you ask Utusan and a few narrow minded Malays, they think this is a Malay land and other races may be evicted at the whim of these racists. ![]()
The various non Malays have been very tolerant of such antics thus far even though odds are stacked against them. From affirmative policies that ensures handouts to the Malays to threats of bathing in non Malay’s blood the list of racism goes on and on.
Next you come across articles such as this that suggest that the Malays are the ones who are being kind and generous hosts while the non Malays take advantage of their kindness.
To understand why this happens you have to understand that the average Malay is a hypocrite. If you are a Malay you get everything handed to you. I should know – legally I’m a Malay.
You get government scholarships, you get places in special government residential schools and at the worst you have the government diploma mill that ensures even the worst Malay is given a piece of paper. Then with this piece of paper you get into various government machineries like Petronas, Bank Islam, PLUS etc. Your future is set for you. You don’t have to work for anything – so long as you buy into their propaganda that as a Malay you have a right above everything else. To make sure you were paying attention you have Biro Tatanegara to brainwash you into UMNO’s version of Malay supremacy.
See Malays (who were incidentally who were once known to be the nicest and kindest people) are brought up in their world as being tolerant and sensitive. Lets see how sensitive Malays actually are :
1) Muslims don’t eat pork so shops selling pork products are usually hidden away but Malay butchers openly display beef carcasses proudly without thinking twice. Moral of the story : Only Malays are sensitive, no other religion has sensitivity.
2.) The call for prayers blares morning and night. Most non Malays are quite used to this. And yet when non Malays have functions and have music loudly playing they get "visits" from the neighbourhood Malays.
3) Mosques get so much more funding than other religious structure. In fact the statistics are so biased towards Islam its not even funny. The rationale behind this it seems that Malaysia is an "Islamic" country. So whatever every Malay can do to be unfair to other races is considered sensitivity on their part. No non can ever challenge the “right” of the Malay to be unfair and unjust to their own countrymen. Non Malays practically have to beg to build their places of worship and many of these which have been around Malaysia for hundreds of years are callously demolished.
4) The entire government functions as if to cater for only Malays. UMNO being the largest component party of BN ensures that all the heads of governments are Malays (whether or not they have the skill to do so). The result are often quite amusing and downright silly as these little Napoleons implement policies to please their political Masters. Rights of non Malays are trodden, ignored, removed with threats such as May 13, 1969 and ISA.
And yet we have articles pimped by Utusan Malaysia suggesting that Malays are downtrodden. Which Malays ? In which way ?
Lets look at Utusan’s article for that. It says Teoh Beng Hock’s child is illegitimate because his partner was pregnant before they were supposed to get married when his untimely demise at the hands of MACC occurred. While brilliantly missing the forest for the trees, what has this got to do with the birth registration of his partners child ? Utusan claims that this would prompt other unwed mothers to register their partners name.
What is so wrong with that. The last time I checked, Malaysia is a country run by rule of law and not religious bodies. If Teoh Beng Hock’s partner can prove the child is his, then by all means register the deceased as his father. Out of wedlock or not should not be a matter.
Next they go on about China citizens who were arrested who were made to do squats by a Malaysian policewoman. Apparently these were pushed by MCA and the Chinese dailies. Utusan alleges that if it happened to a local Malay girl, the stories will not get published.
Well Utusan is half right there. The reason these sort of news is not published is because there is a blanket ban on anything negative about the government. So Utusan itself will not publish it! It will not even investigate it. Utusan not publishing the daily happenings is so common that most Malaysians use it as a benchmark for government propaganda. So again I ask – in what way Malays are downtrodden ?
Utusan claims that they fight for the rights of all races. I have two words for them. Awang Selamat. Remember him ? He write for your trash gossip tabloids.
Utusan claims that the number of places of worships by non Malays outnumber the ones by the Malays. So I counter the claim – why aren’t these maintained by the government of Malaysia ? We have sprawling mosques that state and federal governments spend millions on annually. Compare the largest temple to the largest mosque. See the disparity ? If the government spend as much money as it spends on mosques on other places of worship – Najib would be use it as a fine example for his 1Malaysia!
So on they lament about how Malays are mistreated in their own land. They are an oblivious bunch aren’t they ? When non Malays are dying in deaths in custody, MACC investigations. When non Malays have to put up with harassments from RELA to any government department. When non Malays have to put up with the Islamisation of public schools yes its the Malays who are mistreated.
I don’t know whether to laugh at cry at Utusan. On one hand Utusan is UMNO’s fiercest lapdogs, faithfully publishing propaganda while censoring government misdeeds “for public safety”. On the other hand they lament that the Malays are being left behind in everything and are being too generous to other races!
Think about it. For more than half a century this country has been in control of the Malays. So much so, as mentioned, they have reinforced themselves in every crack, nook and cranny of the government system. And somehow they look at someone else to blame for their own incompetence ?
Here is is :
1. NEP has been in place for more than four decades but Malays are still poor with exception of the elite few. Whose mistake is that ?
2. Even though Malaysia is a multicultural country, the government ensured that government business went to Malay companies. And yet Malays are poor. Whose mistake is that ?
3. Under a Malay government which controls Malays media and Malay police force, violence and crime has sky rocketed ? Whose mistake is that ?
4. Food and fuel prices has skyrocketed even though billions are made through Petronas, a Malay controlled oil and gas company. Whose mistake is that ?
I could go on but you get the picture. The problem is UMNO and Utusan Malaysia are not intelligent enough to see that they are the root cause of all ills in Malaysia. They made this mess.
Further, why are Malays so afraid to lose political power ? Why must there be always a Malay government at the helm ? Is it because all the bad and insensitive ways they treated non Malays will come back to haunt them ?
Why are people who champion the rights of non Malays are labelled traitors to their own race ? Isn’t the right to champion the rights of anyone is the social and moral responsibility of anyone ? Is UMNO and Utusan Malaysia telling me that I must be immoral and treat the real downtrodden people like filth ?
Now UMNO and Utusan Malaysia always drag religion into politics. But the way UMNO and Utusan run their business is as if they are munafiq. They violate all the principles of the religion and limiting Islam to the guardian of who sleeps with whom so Utusan can sell more newspapers.
So what exactly can we learn from all the frothing and spewing from Utusan Malaysia ? The more they spread racial hate, the more they sell hate disharmony the more Malaysians want change. UMNO knows its time is up. They do their very best to do what they have done for decades – that is to stir up racial disharmony through their lapdogs like Utusan Malaysia. These government controlled newspapers can’t write decent news to save their lives.
UMNO’s time is up. Everyone knows it. Even UMNO.
