Recent Dewan Ulama

Read Utusan front page on the comments made by Perak's PAS representative on the recent Dewan Ulama PAS.
(Note: Dewan Ulama PAS is like the Perhimpunan Agung Umno where people of their parties talk speak out. It is always held annually)
(Note: PAS is the one of two opposing parties favored by about 30% of Malaysian populations. An acronyms of Malaysia Islamic Party, the members are all highly Islamic educated. The recent movement had seen the professional such as doctors, lecturers whose degrees didn't come from either Mesir nor Arabian Countries but have some sort of strong Islamic education)

I couldn't agree more of what was opined by Perak's PAS representative.

It is true that what PAS had been fighting for are all the wrongdoings by UMNO politicians, in reality, what of are the other governments in the world. Things like bureaucracy, autocracy, bribery, corruptions, cronies-conquering-the-must-lucrative-pots; diseases normally known to the society.

Through time, there's nothing different about PAS from the other opposing parties in the other regions.

What I feel PAS should be doing is actually highlighting to the society on the other issues that is more alarming. Like, the recent arguments about Internet Investment. Are they halal? Then, the ectassy pills. Have some sort of same pills existed in Rasullulah's time and what had Rasullulah said about them?

You see, PAS are not opined to state whether these are halals or not but highlighting to the people is something that they can do because they have all the expertise in house. Plus, they have the Harakah, the post that are purchased by not only members but also nons.

Instead of going on and on about how inappropriate for the government to grant licenses to these night club operators, they could talk about the similarities of ectassy pills with the alcohols.

Instead of going on and on about how cruel the government to allow these interest-fixed bank to operate, they could highlight to the people of the characteristics of riba' and how close or far the Internet Investment is.

It is sad to see how people use Islam to talk bad about the current government and do nothing to suggest the way forward of making things good. Our Malaysian Politics is unique of the others. Unlike the Democrat and Republics of the States, they very much fight for the same way but PAS has the advantages: the strong headed, Islamic background, clear faith and highly, very highly educated members.

Unless they change the way they are politicking, i.e. do nothing but condemning, they are not in the position of being unique.

Just my thought.
