SELF-ANNOINTED CHAMPION




The Self Appointed Champion!

Indeed it has been an eventful weeks since the last time I recorded my two cents days ago. However the most interesting of all is how once again PKR stole the attention through their unruly and ungrateful elected representatives. It is indeed a disappointment to see their childish bickering and indeed it may be due to their recently acquired power, a true green horns - naive at best.

The conduct of ZN, their outspoken and self-proclaimed champion of Islam is perhaps the most shocking and disappointing ever. Day by day he becomes closer to the alliance he has been fighting since. His words today seem and in fact reflect his true colour, deep inside his love for the domineering party as some claim. His 'love' for the ruling coalition is become much too obvious when now as he resorts to based his opinions and views of the dreaded Utusan. The mouthpiece of the dominant force in the ruling coalition has been known to be actively spreading lies and half truth when it comes to the Opposition. Yet, ZN prefers to speak his mind based on reports published by the newspaper. Being an Opposition member and a 'staunch' defender of his faith he should know better. At least, he should have some decency to remember that he owes his 'YB' title from the people who risked everything electing him instead of the ruling coalition's candidate back in 2008.

Being a 'learned' Muslim, he should know better of the workings of a Jamaah, an organisation of which he should share his misgivings within the organisation he belongs to since everyone is aware that nobody is perfect and therefore there bound to be disagreement and clashes of ideas. Him, being a politician and a leader of a party should know better to air his ideas and views. Certainly not the way he and a few of his colleagues have been behaving so far. At least, the former P.Pinang PKR Chairman has the guts to leave the party but not for ZN. He insists on being within the party but at the same trying very hard to undermined it as if he is tacitly following orders from outside.

His claim of being victimised and sidelined by little pharaohs may be true but again the way he has conducted himself totally has affected his party, the one which has sheltered and offered venue for him to channel his struggle and idealism. Observing his behaviour, he should be in PAS but at the same time he is also involved in a heated disagreement with PAS' Shah Alam MP. He is really trying hard to portray himself as a true and uncompromising Muslim which is of course a commendable conduct but being a green horn, he succumbs to emotion and whether he realises it or not his behaviour nowadays reflects more of his actual nemesis, the ruling coalition.

We respect the views of those who say that Allah only belongs to the Muslims since that is the prevailing practice here and that marching in commemoration of the Holy Prophet's Birthday is a way of showing deep love and respect of the Prophet, a long time practice of the Muslims here. Yet, improving the understanding and practices of Islamic faith should emerge above the rest since without the practices any faiths will no longer relevant. ZN should put his utmost efforts not merely upholding the surface of Islam but most importantly tries his level best trying to uphold the teachings of Islam. Non Muslims throughout the world have been using the pronoun Allah long before the birth of the Prophet SAW and marching in remembrance of the Prophet's birth is not sanctioned in Islam and in fact remembering his birth too does not even occur in both the Al-Quran and As-Sunnah. Indeed, the 'celebration' is a later 'creation' of his followers to show their love for him. Marching certainly is not an itinerary even then!

It seems that the Opposition is undergoing a baptism of fire, a strenuous training to prepare themselves ready to take over the helm from the present ruling coalition or at the very least as an attractive alternative. Hence, the Opposition will be better off without the likes of those emotional green horns. The little Pharaohs ZN are talking about are actually the voices of the mass who really want to see the Opposition to emerge stronger than ever. ZN and the likes are dispensable and worthless in view of a stronger Opposition. If they still have even a scintilla of honour in them, please leave and resign from your post!
