The Parasites in PAS' Intestines

Marah betul beberapa pemimpin PAS ni bila Hasan Ali dedahkan tentang kewujudan parasit-parasit di dalam parti. Apasal marah ni... kena atas kepala ke? Heheh!
One of the dumbest responses came from... Mahfuz Omar, its vice-president. This isn't really a big surprise because it is... well, Mahfuz Omar. His reply was: "Hasan Ali is a parasite!" Is this all that the party's VICE PRESIDENT could muster?! Lekeh betul!

CAPTION: Sorry, couldn't find a picture of the PAS vice-president

But then, "lekeh" is the right word to describe many of PAS' leaders right now - ulamak and non-ulamak alike. And I should know, for this is the party that I had staunchly supported all the way back from 1983 to October 2008. But I was just a common foot-soldier, so those in PAS might want to say that "I don't know nuts about the party." But can you rightly say the same of Datuk Hasan Ali...?

Essentially, Hasan is saying what many of us former PAS supporters already know: that PAS is no longer the party it once was. Fighting for and implementing Islam is the last thing on its mind; to be USED only as capital for individuals to gain power... The PAS Parasites.

Can't accept this?... that a party of so many ulamaks and those who claim to know and are fighting for Islam is now the opposite? Well, let's perform the acid test to see whether this is true or otherwise.

Remember the DUMC matter which Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim had tried so hard to make light of and sweep under the carpet? [PSST! DUMC: Khalid is now in charge of Islamic Affairs, so the coast is clear to get back with your activities]. Khalid is from PKR, and you know what kind of a party it is when it comes to Islam. Unfortunately, the PAS leaders are not much different!

When the case first surfaced, PAS secretary-general, Mustapa Ali - instead of being concerned about Muslims converting to another religion - had made a statement accusing Umno of being involved with JAIS in the raid... and totally ignoring the fact of the matter. Sampai jadi DAYUS gini pemimpin PAS, punya takut!

By the way, Mustapa Ali: WHERE is the proof which you claimed you had?... Dok simpan dalam seluaq ke? Yes, this is the SECRETARY-GENERAL of the `Islamic' party which had thumped its chest claiming: "Perlembagaan kami adalah Al-Quran dan Hadith"  (Tapi hanya kalau DAP setuju).

And these are the parasites who had prohibited its members from attending the Gathering of One Million Muslims (Himpun) - something organised with the aim of preserving the faith of Muslims.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had asked something pertinent on this matter: "What is PAS's goal? Is PAS really an Islamic party or just superficial in character?"

For Muslims, these questions must be given serious thought. And for PAS' members: Are you going to let these parasites remain in control? Or will you be brave and honest enough to do the right thing?

Shahrizat & NFC: Who's the Lembu Now?

Despite their bravado, I'm betting Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin and PKR strategic director Rafizi Ramli will get into a lot of trouble in the lawsuit filed by Datuk Sharizat Abdul Jalil. And so will Shahrizat and her husband when things unfold.


The Malaysian Insider reported that Zuraida "laughed off" the suit, "saying the court action only took the minister a step closer to ending her own political career." Maybe. But Zuraida and Rafizi shouldn't forget that the suit wasn't filed in haste - the plaintiff and her lawyer had definitely looked deeply into what the PKR duo had previously said and written... and I wouldn't want to be in their shoes when these facts are established in court later.


But I wouldn't want to be in Shahrizat's or her husband's shoes either, for the NFC matter - directly and indirectly - will suck down at least one of them.


Shahrizat's husband, Datuk Seri Dr Mohamed Salleh Ismail, had given his side of the story. However, a lot of questions still remain unanswered. For instance, Salleh had claimed that the attacks were politically motivated. This is likely true: however, it wouldn't have happened had Salleh and Shahrizat not gotten themselves in this quandry in the first place.


Appointing your own children as directors - not executives or even managers: Can they blame others when they are accused of cronyism?


Then there's that Datuk who was arrested for attempting to bribe MACC and police officers from investigating the matter: had this slimy Datuk done this on his own accord? Or, was he acting on someone's behalf?


Salleh, on his part, tried to focus the issue on the fact that this Datuk "was not related to him or any of his family members", and that the latter "was engaged to do corporate communications and media relations for NFC"... at about the same time as when the NFC matter surfaced.


Can you blame others for having suspicions?


Too many questions remain and Shahrizat has become a huge liability for Umno and the BN. Najib will have to remember that the rakyat is watching: If he wants the electorate to take Umno and the BN seriously in the next General Elections, then he must do the right thing. Dropping Shahrizat is just one. He musn't stop at that - investigations into the NFC must run its course and real action must be taken should there be evidence of wrongdoings. Including of attempts to bribe the investigators.

Shahrizat, Salleh, Zuraida and Rafizi - we will see who the lembus are.
