“Eyes, Skin, Blood”: Don Corrects PAS Tunnel Vision With Reminders

MAT M DIN: Architecture professor Tajuddin Mohd Rasdi’s intellectual criticism of PAS leaders regarding the controversial flag issue is very enlightening.

Discussing controversial issues intellectually instead of relying on sentimental, racial and religious grounds should be the order of the day.

Using race and religion under the pretext of defending the Malay and Islam, since no one ever threatens the position of the Malay and Islam, is irresponsible.

This gives rise to racial disunity and social disagreement. It also distracts from efforts to increase the country’s development.

To remain in power, PAS leaders must demonstrate and prove that they have the intellectual capabilities to participate in national discourses to gain support, without resorting to racial and religious arguments.

It is wise for Malaysian leaders, especially young Malay leaders in Umno and PAS, to take the professor’s advice seriously and put it into practice.

OCTOBER: Malaysia is the only country where daily news mainly focuses on race and religion. Nothing else matters.

Unfortunately, Malaysia has become more polarized instead of united. Race and religion will destroy the fabric of Malaysia.

PAS does not seem to care about the future of Malaysia’s economy, its huge debts and its education. PAS always argues about anything related to the 3Rs.

PAS doesn’t know how to compete but pounces on others when non-Malays succeed and are resourceful.

Cynical: The Thirukkural says: “Learn whatever you can well learn and do this education with pride by remaining true to the knowledge you have learned. » You are proof.

The layman says that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The scientist says that the sun neither rises nor sets, but it is the rotation of the Earth that makes us believe it.

Divine forces do not cause the tides to rise or fall; the gravitational forces of the moon do this.

While we can forgive the layman for his simplicity, it is not so easy to forgive the myopic fanatic and intellectually bankrupt who sees everything around him in terms of skin colors, blood affiliations, race, and religion.

Very little knowledge is always a very dangerous thing.

BlackBear2742: Thank you Tajuddin for highlighting this issue without jeopardizing race, religion and skin color.

This is a very enlightened perspective and PAS should emulate it. Don’t always put skin color, race and religion in the first row.

Other topics are more important, such as success in science and technology. Tajuddin is a very suitable candidate to become Prime Minister.

His intelligence and knowledge are superior to many of our prime ministers past and present.

Fair world: Bukit Bendera MP Syerleena Abdul Rashid All these racist outbursts against non-Malays were started by Umno youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh and this seems to be bringing back support to Umno.

These racist politicians therefore follow suit to gain the attention and support of Malaysians in order to achieve their goals: to get elected, perhaps obtain a ministerial position, power, money and, ultimately, a pension Also.

Existential shit: If you stand with the fanatics, they will think you support them.

Too often, Malaysian politicians insult minorities, then try to justify themselves by accusing minorities of misunderstand them.

They claim they didn’t mean to insult when that’s precisely what they’re doing.

On the other hand, they also argue that minorities should be careful about what they say, wear and eat, otherwise it would be interpreted as an insult and disrespect to Malay and Islamic supremacy.

Do you see the trend? It’s not the act of insulting or not that counts, it’s who does the insulting that counts.

MarioT: In a multiracial and religious country, elected leaders are expected to lead by promoting friendship and peaceful coexistence among people.

But instead of doing this, most play on racial and religious issues to create undue anxiety and tension. Their hidden objective is to divide the nation.

Today we are divided, with each race trying to protect their rights and survival, which is mainly the fault of these irresponsible and unworthy politicians.

LimePanther5220: Shame on Malaysia for investigating Chinese tourists who waved their country’s flag. Why are people in our country so stupid?

We need to assess the context and reason for the flag waving.

Were the Chinese tourists trying to undermine our country’s sovereignty or were they participating in a cultural event and waving their country’s flag to represent their own country’s participation?

The Malaysian flag has often been flown and the Malaysian anthem has been played at international sporting events.

Malaysian athletes regularly wave or wrap the Malaysian flag around their bodies when participating in and winning matches abroad.

Have the host countries ever summoned them for investigation or accused them of trying to undermine their country’s sovereignty?

This is why a party like PAS should never rule this country. They are too unintelligent and expert only in 3R games.

Hmmm: Presumably, Chinese nationals carried their national flags to distinguish themselves from Malaysian Chinese as well as those from other countries.

They want to show their support for the festival. Not everything is done with bad intentions.

Checkmate: Is waving flags of a nation other than Malaysia considered an offense?

So why do we wave the flags of visiting heads of state when they visit Malaysia?

Or is the waving of the Chinese flag by its citizens or non-citizens not allowed?

We had a phobia of colors, balloons, rainbow watches and shorts. We’ve now added flags to the mix.

What is happening to this country?
