To Gelak or Cry?

 

Party members attend Umno’s annual assembly were told, “Malay millionaires are important because Malays are Muslims. When Malays are rich, Islam would be defended. If Malays are poor, Islam would be sidelined”

So to protect the sanctity of a religion, money is the key factor. Not morals, faith, deeds. Aqidah, Iman, Ibadah semua tak payah kot. Yang penting adalah kejutawanan seseorang. Now I learned something new.

"More Malay millionaires needed to protect Islam" - Haniff Koslan (oh he's a Datuk).

Excuse me for I need to release this uncontainable force called laughter from my body.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

ok that's enough. No just a little bit more.

HHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

OK. CUKUP.

I was debating with my alter-ego on which statements made in the UMNO AGM would make the statement of the year. Apparently the search is over. Haniff Koslan emerged winner hands-down.

Mungkin saudara Haniff tersilap cakap. He probably meant to say "... to protect capitaLISM" but pronunciation dia mungkin kurang jelas lalu reporter media mendengarnya seperti "... to protect Islam".

Really, Mr Haniff. There is no need to say that to justify the Bumiputera affirmative action policies. Affirmative action is done for the sake of social engineering. I will not waste time here debating on whether it's justified or not. But just know that it is a socio-economic-political policy. Don't you dare use the name of Islam to justify the Bumiputera policies.

Let you be reminded of what Tun Abdul Razak said: 

"The NEP incorporates the two pronged objective of eradicating poverty, irrespective of race and restructuring Malaysia society to reduce and eventually eliminate the identification of race with economic functions..,".

It was implemented for the sake of national harmony, and nothing more.

Please don't embarrass yourself, your party, and your nation and your religion.

Islam does not need your statements to protect itself. Islam does not need me, you or anyone else to protect itself. 

"Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian", - (Al-quran 15:9, Sahih International)

And of course, Islam does not need Bumiputera policies or Malay millionaires to protect itself.

Islam is perfect. 

PS: Please discuss real issues that would benefit the well-being of the citizens of the country next time. That is the amanah of your party. Tau kan golongan yang pecah amanah golongan apa?
