A tiny insight from me regarding the current political condition
in Malaysia. We can see there is some of us who wage a war against
corruption and power abuse. We also are rejoiced by the news about the new opposition block in Malaysia (this is me being sarcastic, okay). Hence, these what make Malaysia politic interesting. Always stay tune til the end because every politician will not stick to what they say now and things are viable to change anytime, anywhere.
1. People against scandals of Mr
Najib Abdul Razak
Early this month we can see a coalition formed between each
and every one who wants DS Najib Tun Abdul Razak to resign as the Prime
Minister of Malaysia with some public figures in UMNO, Pakatan Harapan, Parti
Sosialis Malaysia and several NGOs attended the event to sign the petition.
58 people who are considered as ‘Wakil Rakyat’ even stated themselves not as representatives from any political party but instead, referring
themselves as individuals who care enough to not letting this country being
destroyed by people in power today.
Concern with the stability of current condition in Malaysia,
politically and economically, all of them came up and spoke for most of
Malaysian that this country had enough of the scandals lingering the current PM,
including 1MDB, the former AG fired from his office and the interference of
executive power in free government agencies such as SPRM and PAC.
The key figure in this ‘coalition’ is apparently to be Tun
Dr Mahathir, which is the former Prime Minister of Malaysia.
However, regarding many efforts put by many people to the success
of the ‘coalition’ which we called ‘Citizen Declaration’, it seems that the ‘coalition’
is not offering any solution afterwards. After the PM is sacked out from the
office, who will replace the vacancy? This was not answered by Tun M in the
post-declaration’s PC.
2. Collaboration PAS-IKATAN
In the past Citizen Declaration event, there is not a single
figure of PAS attended it. For a while, PAS was being silent in the political
arena after the recent post Muktamar issue that led PAS and DAP to disengage from
Pakatan Rakyat. Both were arguing about the issue of Hudud.
After some time, a group of several PAS figures made a
decision to jump out from PAS and forming a movement called Gerakan Harapan
Baharu which later led to the formation of Parti Amanah Negara (PAN).
The story gets interesting when PKR-PAN-DAP forms a
coalition named Pakatan Harapan, after a short time which is to replace the
former Pakatan Rakyat and carry out the similar consensus they had been agreed on previously.
Meanwhile, PAS was said that it was willing to stand alone in the arena in
order to get Hudud Law to be implemented in Malaysia, firstly to be done in Kelantan.
A few days before, I heard a rumour saying that PAS already
made another opposition coalition with another party. However on that time, I
did not take it so seriously because the news headline I was reviewing was from
Utusan.
But later, the rumour was confirmed by various sources in
the internet with a video of the press conference on PAS and its new ally,
IKATAN, released by SuaraTV, Antara Pos and even Astro Awani in the Youtube.
In its new coalition with IKATAN, there are 3 contract that
they are both agreed on. To quote from PAS press statement by Nasruddin Hassan:
5. PAS - IKATAN akan terus komited untuk:
a) menghentikan politik perkauman, politik dendam, politik tindas dan politik pilih bulu.b) menyuburkan politik hubung baik (politik enggagement), politik penyelesaian dan politik rundingan.c) menolak ekstrimisme dan diktatorship dalam kepimpinan.
To see and analyse the contract, there is not a significant
different point which contradict the former Pakatan Rakyat consensus. Also,
there is not a point regarding Hudud that is put in the contract between
PAS-IKATAN. How can PAS be so sure that IKATAN will support the perjuangan
of Hudud until the end? As far as I know, even IKATAN is mainly supported by
mostly western-educated liberals and inherit the idea of nationbuilding from Tunku Abdul Rahman which was obviously want Malysia to be a secular country.
Personally, I feel that for PAS to start all over again with
IKATAN is such a loss. But it is still better than fighting the war by itself.
Even me as an outsider who observes the political scenario of the opposition on this matter, it seems that PAS is not really disagree with DAP on the
technicality of Hudud implementation (as TGHH said in the PAS-IKATAN PC, Hudud
is not to be implemented in the short time), but PAS is more likely to having a
dominant grasp of the former opposition coalition, Pakatan Rakyat. Maybe it is
because the demand from the members below in PAS that caused PAS to disengage itself
from Pakatan Rakyat, or to be precised - to disengage from DAP.
After all, it is up to the people outside to judge what is
good and what is not for our country. Perhaps, the next general election is way more closer than we think.
