Malaysiakini’s Umno 'welcomed' to sue Penang on mosque polls reported that:
Penang state executive councillor for religious affairs Abdul Malik Abul Kassim has challenged groups protesting the elections to mosque committees in the state to sue the government...
… because he knew the elections (outside of interference by political parties) (a) would be completely in accordance with Islamic belief and practice and (b) does not interfere with the Agong’s prerogative as the Islamic Head of Penang State because all the nominees will have to be endorsed (approved) by His Majesty.
Knowing UMNO and its sinister tactics, I wasn’t surprised to read sweetie Susan Loone's article in Malaysiakini that the Agong has ordered the Penang mosque panel polls to be put off.
No doubt HM must have felt uneasy enough to have a discussion with Penang’s Head of State Abdul Rahman Abbas and MAIPP head Ellias Zakaria (by the way, are the latter two UMNO nominated/appointed?).
According to Bernama HM wants the MAIPP to“set up an independent committee to find new procedures in appointing mosque committee members.”
I thought that was precisely what the MAIPP was supposed to do, but 'nuff said. Other than voicing my complete bemusement at the Agong's statement (as reported by Bernama), I’m going to keep my mouth shut and my further opinions to myself on HM's statement.
Needless to say, MKINI readers have a somewhat different attitude to me, where comments have been free flowing, unbridled, unrestrained and in a few cases, perhaps even uncouth.
Rather than them just commenting on alleged unwelcomed royal intrusion into politics, one should look at the bigger picture of what UMNO is striving to achieve politically, particularly in Penang State.
Even though HM's wish for MAIPP to “set up an independent committee to find new procedures in appointing mosque committee members”has been precisely what MAIPP had set out to do (indeed for the first time in Penang State), UMNO wants the Malay and Muslim communities to see the Agong’s royal command to put a halt to the election, as indicative of the political scenario it badly wants painted ...
... that the DAP government is un-Islamic, anti-Muslim, anti-Melayu, evil, sinister, seditious, rapacious and most important of all, wakakaka, not to be voted for in the next election.
You have to understand that UMNO is not doing it for MCA, MIC or wakakaka Gerakan.
Like Rome is of Carthage, UMNO is currently sh*t-scared of DAP.
