Malaysia negara Islam?, selesaikan ini dulu...

Suatu ketika dahulu,  pandangan yang lebih kuat di'dengung'kan dikalangan orang Islam ialah Malaysia bukan negara Islam atau sekular. 

Begitulah mereka secara 'sukarela atau dipaksa' menerima pentafsiran yang dibuat melalui kes mahkamah terawal tentang Islam dalam perlembagaan persekutuan.

Pandangan saya, keadaan semasa itu ialah suara majoriti orang Islam tidak kuat kedengaran menafikan status sekular itu, menjadikan pemimpin-pemimpin pihak memerintah jua ‘pasrah’.  Hanya PAS yang berusaha berjuang ke arah menegakkan negara Islam.  

Namun kini scenario berubah. Kerana kefahaman yang lebih baik tentang agama atau kerana ada kepentingan tertentu, Malaysia kini di’dengung’kan pula sebagai negara Islam.  Sebahagian pemimpin Islam dari pihak pemerintah juga  menyatakan pandangan mereka bahawa Malaysia adalah negara Islam.

Pelbagai kajian juga dibuat oleh mereka yang ikhlas. Peguam Islam  menulis bagaimana perlembagaan persekutuan masih mempunyai roh islam atau bukan secara total bersifat sekular. Dr Asri juga ada memberikan pandangan yang baik. Semoga Allah memberi ganjaran atas usaha ikhlas mereka yang ingin menegakkan islam dalam kerangka perlembagaan dan undang-undang yang ada.

Namun, kepada pemimpin-pemimpin Islam dari pihak pemerintah yang menyatakan Malaysia ini negara islam, kepada mereka saya saya katakan;  “tolonglah selesaikan isu dibawah ini dulu dengan segera kerana ia antara bukti penting dan kuat bahawa negara ini negara Islam”

“Iaitu agar Keputusan mahkamah syariah atau perintah hakim mahkamah syariah (termasuk dan khususnya dalam kes hadanah- isu akidah) tidak dibatalkan atau tidak diketepikan oleh mahkamah sivil atau hakim mahkamah sivil.”

[Kes terbaru membabitkan integrity mahkamah syariah]

 In 2009, the religious court in Ipoh had granted Muhammad Ridhuan Abdullah, who was formerly known as K. Pathmanathan, the custody of his three children, Tevin  Darsiny,  17, Karan Dinish, 16, and Prasana, 6, after he unilaterally converted them to Islam.

The following year, the High Court in Ipoh granted kindertgarten teacher M. Indira Gandhi full custody of all three children and Ridhuan was ordered to return Prasana Diksa to Indira.
On May 30 this year, the Ipoh High Court cited Ridhuan for contempt and issued a warrant of arrest against him after he repeatedly failed to hand over Prasana Diksa to Indira.

Indira had also obtained a recovery order from the High Court to compel the police to locate Ridhuan.

Dituju Khas Kepada Yg Naikkan, Yg Setuju & Yang Pura-Pura Setuju

Kepada Pemimpin-pemimpin yang menaikkan, yang setuju atau yang pura-pura setuju kenaikan 20 sen harga minyak kenderaan. 

kalaulah tuan-tuan ambil tauladan dan buat ikutan  sebahagian daripada gaya hidup sederhana presiden termiskin ini, saya percaya pasti rakyat marhean akan menarik balik bantahan kenaikan 20 sen itu.

 Uruguay’s President José Mujica

by MEDEA BENJAMIN

President José Mujica of Uruguay, a 78-year-old former Marxist guerrilla who spent 14 years in prison, mostly in solitary confinement, recently visited the United States to meet with President Obama and speak at a variety of venues. He told Obama that Americans should smoke less and learn more languages. He lectured a roomful of businessmen at the US Chamber of Commerce about the benefits of redistributing wealth and raising workers’ salaries. He told students at American University that there are no “just wars.” Whatever the audience, he spoke extemporaneously and with such brutal honesty that it was hard not to love the guy.

He lives simply and rejects the perks of the presidency. Mujica has refused to live at the Presidential Palace or have a motorcade. He lives in a one-bedroom house on his wife’s farm and drives a 1987 Volkswagen. “There have been years when I would have been happy just to have a mattress,” said Mujica, referring to his time in prison. He donates over 90% of his $12,000/month salary to charity so he makes the same as the average citizen in Uruguay. 

When called “the poorest president in the world,” Mujica says he is not poor. “A poor person is not someone who has little but one who needs infinitely more, and more and more. I don’t live in poverty, I live in simplicity. There’s very little that I need to live.”

  He’s an environmentalist trying to limit needless consumption. At the Rio+20 Summit in 2012, he criticized the model of development pushed by affluent societies. “We can almost recycle everything now. If we lived within our means – by being prudent – the 7 billion people in the world could have everything they needed. Global politics should be moving in that direction,” he said. He also recently rejected a joint energy project with Brazil that would have provided his country with cheap coal energy because of his concern for the environment.

He has focusing on redistributing his nation’s wealth, claiming that his administration has reduced poverty from 37% to 11%. “Businesses just want to increase their profits; it’s up to the government to make sure they distribute enough of those profits so workers have the money to buy the goods they produce,” he told businessmen at the US Chamber of Commerce. “It’s no mystery–the less poverty, the more commerce. The most important investment we can make is in human resources.” His government’s redistributive policies include setting prices for essential commodities such as milk and providing free computers and education for every child.

He has offered to take detainees cleared for release from Guantanamo. Mujica has called the detention center at Guantanamo Bay a “disgrace” and insisted that Uruguay take responsibility to help close the facility. The proposal is unpopular in Uruguay, but Mujica, who was a political prisoner for 14 years, said he is “doing this for humanity.”

He is opposed to war and militarism. “The world spends $2 billion a minute on military spending,” he exclaimed in horror to the students at American University. “I used to think there were just, noble wars, but I don’t think that anymore,” said the former armed guerrilla. “Now I think the only solution is negotiations. The worst negotiation is better than the best war, and the only way to insure peace is to cultivate tolerance.”
