‘We did not sign up for a race-religion state’

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24, 2023: What a let-down by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s Unity Government (UG).

Both Anwar and his UG have not spoken a single word nor taken any action against a coalition of Muslim non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Selangor and Negri Sembilan that urged leaders of Malay Muslim political parties to establish a Malay Muslim-only government. without DAP.

If that is not a clear sign of threatening national unity and harmony, contravening the Federal Constitution, what else is?

The NGOs issued its statement on Aug 14, that is 10 days ago, but the Madani UG’s silence is simply deafening.

It sure is beginning to look like Anwar and his UG do not have the political will and courage to act without fear or favour against the racial and religious bigots to save multiracial-multireligious Malaysia.

And it takes a Sabahan, to date, to come up with a courageous statement to condemn the bigots. And he is James Ligunjang, if the message found circulating in social media is authentic:

WE DID NOT SIGN UP FOR A RACE RELIGION STATE

James Ligunjang

We did not form Malaysia in 1963 to benefit a single race.

We should strongly condemn the recent statement made by a coalition of Muslim non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Selangor and Negri Sembilan, calling for the establishment of a Malay Muslim government without other parties that represent other races. This statement is not only divisive but also goes against the principles of equality, multiculturalism, and democracy enshrined in the Federal Constitution.

The call to exclude a political party based on race and religion is discriminatory and undermines the spirit of unity and harmony that Malaysia aspires to achieve. It is essential to recognize that the Parliament should represent all Malaysians, regardless of their race or religion, and not be limited to any particular group.

We urge the relevant authorities to thoroughly investigate this statement by the Muslim NGOs for any potential seditious and treasonous elements. Such remarks that defy the concept of Malaysia as stipulated in the MA63 and Federal Constitution should not be taken lightly.

The Muslim NGO's should emphasise the importance of prioritizing economic development for the betterment of all citizens. When politics overshadow the economy, it is the ordinary people who suffer the most.

Any attempt to undermine the principles and values that Malaysia stands for should be condemned and thoroughly investigated. We believe in a Malaysia that upholds the rights and freedoms of all its citizens, regardless of their race, religion, or political affiliation.

See how multiracial-multireligious Malaysia is collapsing by the day

Do they really care about Malaysia’s future wellbeing?

See how multiracial-multireligious Malaysia is collapsing by the day

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15, 2023: No News Is Bad News is dumbfounded and lost for words with the two articles (see below) circulating in the internet.

We wonder how the editors in Focus Malaysia see the rubbish non-governmental organisations (BGOs) as newsworthy, not forgetting that it is plain racial and religious bigotry, and irresponsible.

Any sane editors would have spiked the story as it is unfit and not newsworthy. But, now that it has been published and circulated, what is the Madani Unity Government going to do about it?

Malaysia is heading for socio-economic doom if such racists and religious bigots are allowed to continue to spew such garbage.

No News Is Bad News reproduces below the published garbage for readers to form their own opinion and to be wary of the dangers posed to national unity and harmony in multiracial-multireligious Malaysia: 

 

Muslim NGOs propose establishment of a Malay-Muslim gov’t without DAP

A COALITTION of Muslim non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan has urged leaders of Malay Muslim political parties to be open-minded enough to accept the agenda of unifying the ummah (Muslim solidarity) for the benefit of religion, the Malay race and nation.

After all, the outcome of Saturday’s (Aug 12) six state polls reflects the people’s desire in wanting to realise the unification of Malays and Muslims in the country, according to Gerakan Pembela Ummah (UMMAH) chairman Mohd Zai Mustafa.

Towards this end, the Muslim NGOs collation has proposed to establish a Malay Muslim government without DAP.

This, according to UMMAH, is justifiable considering that Malay-Muslim state assemblymen form the majority of Saturday’s (Aug 12) state polls winners regardless of whether they are from UMNO, PAS, Bersatu, Amanah or PKR.

“That’s why political leaders, whether they are from UMNO or Perikatan Nasional (PN), need to be open minded enough (to unite) to defend the interests of religion, Malay race and nation … the issue of Malay Muslim interests must be defended regardless of political party,” Mohd Zai told a media conference in Bangi yesterday (Aug 14).

“As such, we want to propose that they determine carefully a Menteri Besar (MB) and state EXCO line-up who can defend these rights … actually a (state) government without DAP.”

According to Zai, the ummah unification agenda can be implemented without DAP because political parties with Malay leadership will certainly not sideline Islam and would want the religion to be defended at all costs.

He claimed “there have been many instances in which DAP has oppressed the Malay Muslims” in Selangor and Negri Sembilan.

More broadly, Mohd Zai stressed that this ummah unification agenda can also be implemented at the federal level because many Malay leaders at the parliamentary level are composed of Malay and Muslim representatives.

He further noted that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim need not bow to DAP because “the existing strength of Malay leaders is enough to eliminate the party’.

“Actually, if the leader has the political will to love his race and religion as in the case of Anwar who is a Malay Muslim PM, why must he have so much affection for DAP? There are enough Malay Muslim MPs around (to back him),” asserted Mohd Zai.

“(Datuk Seri) Amirudin Shari (Selangor MB) can call these Malay Muslim leaders to discuss who can become MB, state EXCO and so on. Why do you love DAP so much if you are a leader with a big heart?” – Aug 15, 2023

My view is that generally Muslims vote along racial and religious lines. My good friend, a well to do educated Malay whose family and friends voted for PN/PAS because of the following: - Muslims accept corruption from their Muslim politicians as long as they are fellow Muslims. They turn a blind eye as Hadi has declared corruption in Islam is halal as there is a willing giver and willing taker. No one is forced to take a bribe. This is accepted although deep down they know it is not acceptable to do so in Islam.

- they do not want to lose their privileges which is what the extremists Islamisation preach about. - they feel that all the problems of today such as high cost of living is created by PH who is seen as taking away their freebies and privileges. - Muslims generally do not trust the Chinese although the Chinese economically provide jobs for them. They feel that without PAS or PN, their rights and employment opportunities even in the private sector will be eroded and the Chinese employers will provide biased opportunities and promotions and favour their own people over others. - naively and without rational thought these same educated Muslim professionals especially the young, want and think that the economy will run effectively even with extremists running it.

- they feel that Malaysia will never go broke or be like Sri Lanka/Greece because we have so much raw materials which they say will never run out and the gravy train will continue to flow.

- they say that in Islam, they are duty bound to vote or elect even corrupt Muslim politician rather than elect a clean non-Muslim politician.

- constant preaching of this narrative continues on a regular basis in madrasahs. It's something called taqeeyah"

- Malaysia belongs to the Muslims and others should not have any rights and need to comply with the requirements of Islam as subservient second-class inhabitants.

- They fear they will go to hell if they don't vote for their own kind. They fear the criticism and being isolated and talked about if they are seen to be not aligned to the Muslims. - End of gravy train. It has become an accepted right and any talk of meritocracy and level playing field is seen as taking away their birth right. This guy who shared this in his own words of course is seen as a moderate, loves going for holidays to Western countries, enjoys a good job in a Chinese company, loves branded clothes, dines and spend times out with friends of different races. Reminds one of Hitler's Germany and the Talibanization of Afghanistan and similar. - they can accept a corrupted government as long as they are 100% Muslim as they fear that a non-Muslim will be PM and will take away their rights and gravy train.. Sekian..again it is not everyone but this is the majority..
