Haram for Christmas Lights, Halal for Sexy Santa Dances: Mahathir & PAS’s Double Standards Exposed
20 December, 2025
In the swirling cesspool of Malaysian politics, where piety is weaponized like a cheap firecracker, nothing screams hypocrisy louder than the selective outrage over what’s “haram” and what’s conveniently halal. On one hand, we have firebrand conservatives from Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) and their allies thundering against Christmas decorations as if fairy lights could drag souls straight to hell.
On the other, former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad—now cozying up as an advisor and ally to PAS in their quest to “unite the Malays”—turns a blind eye to his own grandchildren’s flagrant “unislamic” antics. It’s a masterclass in double standards: haram for thee, but halal for me and my kin. Let’s dissect this farce with the harsh truth it deserves, because if we’re going to talk threats to Malay Muslims, the real danger is this kind of self-serving sanctimony.
Start with the absurdity of Christmas decorations being branded haram. Just recently, a purported ban in Melaka sparked uproar, forbidding halal-certified hotels and outlets from displaying festive decor because, apparently, a plastic tree and some twinkling bulbs are a gateway to apostasy.
PAS and their ilk have long railed against such “threats,” with fatwas warning Muslims against even attending events with Christmas trees, lest they accidentally celebrate joy or something equally sinister. And don’t get us started on their overreaction to innocent tunes like “Jingle Bells,” which PAS Youth deemed a menace to Islamic values.
But here’s the kicker: if Christmas decor is so haram, why is Christmas a public holiday in Malaysia? Do these self-appointed guardians of faith clock in for work on December 25th, or do they happily pocket the day off while pretending the whole nation isn’t tacitly endorsing the festivities? Halal when it’s a free break, haram when it’s a mall ornament—talk about cherry-picking scripture like it’s a buffet.
Then there’s the pet-friendly mall debacle, another shining example of manufactured outrage. A new shopping center in Selangor tried to go pet-friendly, only to face a backlash from Muslim groups citing concerns over hygiene and religious taboos (dogs, in particular, are viewed as impure by some interpretations). The mall caved under pressure from state directives, banning pets indoors to keep the peace. Fair enough if it’s about cleanliness, but let’s call it what it is: another selective haram hammer dropped on modern conveniences that don’t fit the puritan playbook. Meanwhile, these same voices are silent on far more egregious lapses closer to home.
Enter Mahathir’s grandchildren, whose “unislamic” behavior would make even the most liberal blush if judged by PAS standards. A video surfaced showing one granddaughter dancing provocatively in Christmas-themed attire, surrounded by friends, celebrating with a passion that rivals any Western holiday bash.
Netizens didn’t hold back: “Your grandfather was saying that the Malay Muslims are being threatened and you are relaxing here celebrating Christmas.” Or the savage burn: “Help give a little advice to your grandchildren, grandpa. If you can’t even save your own grandchildren, how will you save the Malays?”
And the clincher: “It’s correct that he says the Malays are being threatened because he is observing his family.”
Sarcasm drips from comments like, “Their grandfather is holding the key to heaven which was given by PAS, so there should be no problem to dance in a sexy Christmas outfit.” This dancing was reportedly even steamier than the Malaysian girl group Dolla’s routines—yet Dolla got slammed and their video yanked for being “immoral” and too revealing, drawing ire from religious officials who deemed it indecent.
Why ban Dolla but give Mahathir’s granddaughter a free pass?
Simple: she’s not a DAP member or Chinese. Everything’s “salah DAP” or “salah Cina” in this twisted narrative, but when it’s the family of a PAS ally, suddenly it’s halal.
Mahathir’s rapprochement with PAS is the cherry on this hypocritical sundae. Once dismissing PAS as “backward” for their Islamic state dreams, he’s now joined forces with them in movements to unite Malays against perceived threats. Yet his own kin’s lifestyles—partying, Western influences, and Christmas cheer—fly under the radar. And PAS?
They happily wish Christians “Merry Christmas” in official statements, hoping for smooth celebrations in harmony. So, is greeting Merry Christmas haram or halal? Apparently halal when it suits political optics, but haram if it’s a decoration in a mall you might accidentally walk past.
This isn’t piety; it’s politics masquerading as religion. Halal and haram are twisted according to whims and fancies—as long as it benefits the powerful, it becomes halal automatically. When accepting duit rasuah (bribes), do these holier-than-thou types quiz the giver on their agama? Of course not; money’s halal no matter the source. And if you dislike places with Christmas decorations, here’s a radical idea: just don’t enter. Those lights and trees are temporary, mere light bulbs and plastic—how on earth can they make you sin? Unless, of course, the real sin is exposing the fragility of this selective outrage.
In the end, this hypocrisy isn’t just laughable; it’s dangerous. It divides Malaysians, weaponizes faith for votes, and erodes trust in leaders who can’t even practice what they preach. Mahathir and PAS, take a long look in the mirror—your “threats to Malays” start at home. Until then, spare us the sermons; we’ve had enough of this halal hypocrisy.
