RISE OF ISLAMIC CONSERVATISM
GAMBAR: Bila saya nampak gambar ni di NYT. saya ingat minah melayu.
Mungkin dalam meeting Umno? Mungkin wanita PKR atau PAS sedang doa?
Nope, ni gambar minah Tunisia.
Makin Arab Spring digalakkan oleh Barat makin naik gerakan Islam dan parti Islam di MENA (Middle East and North Africa).
Mampoi lu. Dulu baik-baik diktator yang bunuh orang, yang kamu sokong kuat, kamu bilis dan halau mereka. Tolong bunuh mereka lagi.
Kini musuh kamu yang lebih besar main kuat.
Undi di Tunisia, Ennahda naik.
Di Morocco, Party of Justice & Development.
Di Mesir hari ini, Freedom & Juctice Party [parti untuk Ikhwan / Muslim Brotherhood] dan kumpulan Salafi, nampaknya menang besar.
Di Libya, parti-parti konservatif Islam pun sedang mara.
Dan Hamas, memang orang tahu pun begitu kuat di Gaza, the biggest open prison in the world.
SEBAB? Bukan orang 'suka agama' sangat -- lebih lagi yang bawa penyampaian sempit dan konservatif.
Tapi parti-parti ini bekerja kuat, turun padang, di zaman mereka kena tekan oleh pemerintah diktator dulu.
Bukan nak undi baru sibuk nak turun ke padang, nak periksa kesihatan orang kampung, baiki longkang, buat jalan.
Ikhwan misalnya dari dulu membantu orang miskin, jual beras dan daging murah, etc.
Pada saya, the rise of Islamic conservatism ni di dunia Islam, tidak bagus. Takut sibuk halal-haram, tapi tak pernah beratkan isu pelajaran, research and development.
Yang selalu saya kata - sibuk tentang 'negara Islam', tapi nak repair kepala paip pun kena panggil tukang bangsa lain. Di Malaysia, baik Umno atau PAS, keduanya mengaku parti Islam, conservatism makin kuat.
Tapi ekonomi dan business, politik dan education masih tidak dikawal sendiri, yang boleh kita bangga berkata - 'We are Muslim and we are technologically competent. We are strong in business'.
BUKAN maknanya kita nak menekan orang lain, tapi tak boleh pun kita bangga nak berkata kita kini boleh berdiri sama tinggi dengan orang lain.
NAK LIHAT cara wartawan 'tangkap' cerita Arab Spring pakai gambar?
Sometimes a story can be told with just a few pictures. Or even with just one picture.
Lihat siri gambar ni - Hopelessness and Hope untuk revolusi MENA.
Tradisi dan Masa Depan.
Mengapa rakyat bangkit.
Tak payah tulis panjang-panjang.

POSTING AWAL
....Sambungan....
Bahagian 1/2 di sini.
2002 - mahathir cried like a baby in closing speech at assembly, wanted to quit, cos he said he was fed-up that umnoians take money and don't want to reform.
first time i saw mass hysteria where almost everyone cried, including thousands watching events on giant tvs outside hall.
very tough for me to interview people, cos i was crying too! (that's how mass hysteria works!).
"auntie, boohoohoo, why are u crying? how do u feel?"
luckily it was brendan (he was bureau chief then. later went to NST, Fox Comms, The Malaysian Insider) who did the main stories.
2003 - last maha assembly, nostalgia of party at its zenith fills the air, after 22 years of mahathirism. badawi made his first speech as umno prez, but no one cared. end of an era.
would umno slide from here?, some asked quietly.
2004 - the assembly that would be remembered for the antics of Isa Samad. he won VP umno elections (triennial = once every 3years), and then hinted clearly in a speech that with the payments he had made in last few nights, he had expected to get more votes! he was later suspended for 3years.
2005 - Umno women's chief Rafidah Aziz in hot soup for the car-imports, AP (approved permits) scandal. The lady swears by the Quran and cried to say she was innocent.
Another thing: At end of one evening, bank negara governor zeti akhtar aziz suddenly turned up, looking flustered. she like half-ran to meet badawi.
later it was discovered that china had unpegged the yuan-US dollar, so she told badawi that malaysia better unpeg the ringgit-dollar rate or lose export competitiveness.
badawi unpegged himself from mahathir's 1998 move.
another incident: umno youth chief hishammuddin hussein brought out a huge keris. in malay history, a 'manly' weapon for heroes. he unsheathed it and kissed it. oklah, we all thot.
then some delegates in their speeches - ran live on tv for the first time - said "hisham, you have unsheathed the keris, when are u going to use it?" (that was the first and last time umno beamed live tv of its assembly!).
umno-bn had just won the 2004 GE big-time (voters hoping new badawi era would reduce corruption, governance voted bn big-time), so in this assembly they were so over-confident they could say anything and do everything, and they didn't give two hoots to anyone.
in next two years, hisham ran into big trouble with his keris act, he became known as Kerishammuddin.
2006 - mahathir broke up with badawi.
badawi makes speech on stage, but drama was BELOW stage, as mahathir did NOT turn up.
he had wanted to speak to the assembly, but to get on stage u must be picked at branch and divisional level (this is how they control who gets to speak, and thus what message comes through at assemblies).
mahathir failed to be voted in, so he was not allowed to speak, so didn't attend.
2007 - reme went back to spore. end of story. end of love.
but interesting:
2009 - eyes on najib as badawi has agreed to quit after disastrous 2008 GE.
najib makes first speech as prez.
mahathir again makes news as he has agreed to return to umno after quitting in 2years ago. he turned up as hero at assembly.
heroes don't die. they just fade away (i was talking about me, not ameno).

All we ordinary rakyat want is for them to meet and come up with solutions or ideas for the benefit of the country..
SIGH!
We women are left so aimless and with no TRUE LEADER to guide us!
again... SIGH~~~~~~ tak kan nak sekadar harap Lady Gaga aje bagi motivasi kepada anak muda kami..
SIGH!
semakin ramai middle class amriki tak ada kerja. begitu teruk sehingga anak dihantar kena minta sedekah minta makanan free di sekolh.
sampai gitu jika orang politik main taik, bangkang dan gaduh, tegang urat dan kelentong.
walhal kita cuma mereka perbetul ekonomi, perbaiki keselamatan, naiktaraf cara memerintah.

Sometimes you have to take your own future into your own hands.
99% kekayaan di dunia is from business.
Now who said that? We all know the answer, don't we.
Assamu'alaikum w.b.t Reme
Baca posting kau dan cuba memahami aliran pemikiran kau, pengolahan cerita dari cerita pasal competitivess di Sing, lari ke cerita GOP versi Malaysia dan sekarang bercakap soal Arab Spring crossing MENA.
Rem, manusia tak akan pernah puas. Reme, manusia tak akan pernah puas. Diriwayatkan dari Anas bahwa Nabi S.A.W. bersabda: “Seandainya anak Adam memiliki satu lembah emas ia ingin memiliki dua lembah emas dan tidak akan memenuhi mulutnya (merasa puas) kecuali mulutnya diisi dengan tanah kuburan dan Allah akan memberikan ampunan kepada orang yang bertaubat". (HR. Anas bin Malik).
100 tahun dulu (1911), kabilah-kabilah Arab berserakan dari Morocco ke Oman, dari Transjordan ke Aden Yaman hingga ke Sudan – tak puas hati, sama macam hari ni. Tak puas hati kat siapa (?) Tak puas hati kat Ottoman Turks (pemerintah mereka pada masa itu). Sama macam hari ni, mereka tak puas hati kat siapa (?) Tak puas hati kat diktator2 pemerintah mereka (tak kira lah kat Raja mereka ke, kat Presiden mereka ke atau kat Perdana Menteri mereka ke). Sistem yang melahirkan Diktator2 ni adalah sistem yang dia orang nak sangat2 pasca Perang Dunia I 1914 – 1918 (bertinda dgn period of The Arab Revolt 1916 – 1918).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_revolt
Click laman web tu kau boleh tengok gambar si Lawrance tengah tunggang unta.
Petikan dari laman Wikipedia - The Arab Revolt (1916–1918) (Arabic: Al-Thawra al-`Arabiyya) (Turkish: Arap İsyanı) was initiated by the Sherif Hussein bin Ali with the aim of securing independence from the ruling Ottoman Turks and creating a single unified Arab state spanning from Aleppo in Syria to Aden in Yemen.
Sapa yang fed them on what they want and how to get what they want.... kalau bukan Brits and the others European countries.
Today, they are talking about Arab Spring, who give them that term (?), and who fed them with what they want and how to get what they want.... kalau bukan Amriki, Brits and the others European countries.
Nak memahami permainan ini tidak semesti melalui gambar, tengok filem Antonio Banderas ni “Black Gold” akan ditayangkan di pawagam bermula hari ini (Dec. 1st).
Re-quote: Sometimes a story can be told with just a few pictures. Or even with just one picture. To emphasis your statement above ~ Bak lirik lagu Arwah P. Ramlee “Tiada gambar secantik lukisan nak ku tunjukkan perasaan” macam tu lah gambar dan filem bercerita.

Untuk memahami Arab Revolt & Arab Spring, tengok view dgn trailer of the movie at here:

Salam - Doha, State of Qatar
conservatism? and they say we should avoid mixing politics and religion.
Now where do we go from here? i didnt bother watching the general assembly, ive wondered why they even bother televizing it, knowingly that these assemblies are very internal centric meaning catered to the umno galleries.
i saw the sound bites, all's i can say they should stop with the pantuns, wth? people are worried about jobs, housing and education here they are talking about the dangers the opposition pose.
i think the developments of egypt and tunisia should be your focus bang rem, people think voting and changing the government of the day is a one day fix via a 5 year once election, im not saying that im an expert but just imagine the economic power behind a political party, if they can shake the previous government into oblivion government meaning the middle man that taxes and puts the money to good use, who's to say that the next one cant be blown to smitheriens.
and destroying kau-tim culture, i think businesses in malaysia know to well the hidden costs of operating in malaysia.
i really want to see the opposition winning, just to say i told you so to those fanatical supporters, same game different actors.
and you get these fanatical idiots saying indonesia is reformed.....are they insane?!
The consistent blathering of idolism via the alternative media, dudes, plug out for awhile and read, watch the news just so you can define between the lines.
ugh im getting frustrated, anyway bang rem good write up, love the time line, here's a link you should look up, courtesy of Ku Li vs Maha
http://www.youtube.com/user/mycitizen
Ku li said the same things anwar said, funny thing is that this guy also took the opportunity to try and shake the government in a time of economic turmoil.....so can you read between the lines?
*HINT*
-With turmoil comes opportunity
-With stability comes complacency
-With malaysians comes tak sedar diri's (when you go too work, in traffic please give way, when you're in the LRT please give up ur seat to elder or the kurang upaya's, When you speak politics dont choose side's look at the pro's and con's.)(also if you dont have touch and go please laaaaa BERATUR!)
tiada gambar secantik lukisan.
tiada siapa melainkan kak mah.
bro, cerita sikit (at next posting) apa yg kamu nampak kat makkah-madinah pls.
- ada train system - nak diperbesarkan agar mudahkan jemaah?
- hotel yg besao raffles and giant clock tu amacam (yg selalu hamba bantai).
- di madinah amacam? dah siap projek perluasan masjid nabawi. last time saya ke sana (7-8thn lalu) kawasan sebelah belakang masjid (back entrance) sedang nak dirobohkan.
tentang arab spring - kita faham kenapa ada yg marah. selain tak ada pekerjaan-inflasi, polis-tentera di banyak negara tu jahat.
orang ramai biasanya sabar jika lihat corruption, besar mana pun, tapi jika adik bapa laki isteri kena buli, tangkap, hilang...itu yg buat orang mengamuk.
di banyak negara (termasuk siri cerita Occupy) orang marah jika dah lah payah nak dapat kerja, inflasi tinggi. lepas tu corruption melampau (baik polis yg minta duit mahupun kroni besar songlap wang).
diktator seperti kuan yew, mahathir, suharto dulu selamat sebab pastikan kerja mudah nak dapat, inflasi terkawal.
sama juga mubarak, gaddafi sehingga jadi melampau, diapikan pula oleh nasara yahud (amriki eu supply mereka wang dan equipment perang, juga cameras, laptop agar sebarkan cerita negatif).
lesson: bila kamu di atas, terus ingat orang di bawah tu.
jika rakyat dijaga baik, orang akan rilek dan bersabar, walau nampak corruption dan government kurang cekap.
lesson 2, serik-keris: yg kat atas kena kerap suarakan kelohan orang bawah.
bukan sibuk pantun dan gila nak terus berkuasa saja.
ninot,
to business, to business!
hamba dah salah masuk jadi wartawan dulu. susah nak go-stan, sebab rarely wartawan boleh tukar jadi business.
kamu akauntan, lawyer, doktor senang nak buka syarikat sendiri. payah wartawan nak buka business sendiri. nak buka paper atau online news sendiri kena jual maruah dan kebenaran.
timur tengah, tetuan dan tetuan,
tentang 'islamic conservatism' etc yg selalu saya bangkitkan dlm blog ni.
mungkin ada kalian yg rasa tersinggung - mamat remgold ni mabuk agaknya attack islam.
yg saya maksudkan begini: saya begitu khuatir kerana imej agama rosak habis seantero dunia.
semua article kini mesti tulis perkataan 'terrorism' di sebelah perkataan 'islam, islamic, islamist'.
jadi sebati pulak. islamic terrorism, islamist militants, muslim terror groups....
yg kita pulak (bukan semua, tapi pemimpin dan ulama kita) bila cakap tentang 'agama', kita depankan hudud, pakai tudung, pompuan tutup aurat, tak boleh minum, itu haram, ini dilarang.
bukan saya nak halalkan yg haram.
tapi saya khuatir imej agama kita jadi makin teruk, sebab tak pandai defend dan depankan isu.
tak ada ulama yg katakan Pendidikan, Education, Research, Pandai Software, Kerja Kuat Sehingga Orang Segan Dgn Kita, Sopan Sehingga Orang Terpegun itulah islam sebenar.
bila kita kata 'islamic state', kita tak kata a state where muslims and non-muslim can work and live together as brothers, where muslims lead in business and technology, where corruption is abhorred and we want to cut off the hands and heads of corrupters.
tapi islamic state yg kita fahamkan kpd orang luar ialah yg pompuan pakai tudung, hudud nak potong tangan. bodoh tak apa, senjata beli dgn kapir harbi, teknologi dibeli luar, etc.
bodoh sangat ke kita ni? tak tau nak marketing agama?
kamu baca cerita menyayat hati ini hari ini berlaku di afghanistan. pompuan kena rogol, beranak, kena jail! si jantan lepas, sebab tak ada empat saksi!!!
lepas tu pompuan ni kini dipaksa kawin dgn perogol.
bayangkan esok terjadi kpd kamu kerana islamic state.
apa interpretasi gini? kata islam adil?
sehingga malu kita sebab bodoh tak pandai olah agama.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/8930305/Afghanistan-rape-victim-pardoned-but-faces-marriage-pressure.html
tengok intro story tu: "in staunchly muslim afghanistan".
itulah fahaman orang terhadap agama kita.
kalau bodoh dan terorist serta tak adil - ah, yg itu islamlah.
kamu lihat agama lain - dgn sejarah yg begitu berdarah = 100juta christians dibunuh Gereja di zaman Inquisition, selama 300thn.
ini bukan nak burukkan agama lain, tapi nak tunjuk: lepas tu mereka taubat dan kini terbaik dlm menolong orang miskin (Mother Teresa dan nun serta paderi. terkenal kerja kebajikan mereka).
ini bermakna mereka berjaya tukar imej dari 'agama kejam' atau 'agama gila' - label sama dilemparkan kpd kita hari ini.
pelajarilah tawarikh itu.
cerita lama saya:
qazaf dan empat saksi - jalan keluar (?).
zaman CSI ni pun kita buat tak tahu, walhal ada cara saintifik. sebab ulama semua dah malap, agaknya (kan aku dah marah).
biar tak adil, biar seksa kaum wanita, tak adil, tak apa. itulah islam???
esok terjadi anak pompuan kita, baru kita tahu.
