While Vietnam is moving forward with its own fantastic version of a communist production model, and while the rest of the world is contemplating post-modern development, Malaysia is still stuck with idiots who prescribe chastity belts for women, prizes for Mat Rempit snatch thieves, and drinking holy water to cure diseases.
And all these idiotic ideas are found under the larger umbrella of Islam Hadhari - the brainchild, or maybe brainless-child of another idiotic religious adviser who sold the idea quite easily to our mentally-challenged Prime Minister.
A. The Mufti of Perak
The Mufti of Perak, who is officially appointed by the Royal House of Perak, is a total contradiction and an irony to the Royal House whose members are exemplified by their impressive academic achievements and cultured traditions.
His Royal Highness Sultan Azlan Shah of Perak was once our Lord President while the Crown Prince, Raja Nazrin Shah, is a graduate of Oxford and holds a doctorate from Harvard.
In sharp contrast, the Mufti of Perak, Harussani Zakaria, is a graduate of a 'sekolah pondok' or village religious school and holds a 'sijil sekolah menengah agama' or secondary school certificate in religious studies.
It is no wonder then that from time to time Harussani makes totally stupid pronouncements that are a complete embarrassment not only to the State of Perak but to all Muslims.
This is the type of stupidity which masquerades as the Mufti of Perak. How does such an obviously deranged intellect still hold the post of Mufti? The answer is red tape.Not too long ago, Harussani was questioned by police for inciting racial hatred when he carelessly repeated a false accusation over the baptising of some Indian estate children at a church in Ipoh. (However, due to the fact that Harrussani is also the Mufti who is appointed at the pleasure of the Sultan, the Inspector General of Police had to satisfy himself with seeking an audience with the Sultan to seek his counsel first.) Prior to that, Harrussani had said that ‘kongsi raya’ or the dual celebration of Deepavali and Hari Raya was against Islamic teachings. Even prior to that he had said that it was good for Muslims to write Arabic writing in bowls, dissolve the writing in water, and then drink the solution to improve their memory, examination results, cure ills, and so on.
The Law and the Power of the Muftis
According to the law, Harrussani is only legally responsible for his ‘fatwa’ or religious decrees in his official capacity as the Mufti of Perak.
His personal pronouncements, no matter how stupid they may be, are just his personal opinions and beyond reproach.
Under the law, Muftis can make fatwas, which then must be accepted by a sitting of the State Legislature or Dewan Undangan Negeri.
After that it must be officially gazetted. Only then does it become an official, legal fatwa of the Mufti.
So Harrusani Zakaria is careful. He makes his silly statements which are not officially gazetted.
If anyone takes issue with the Mufti, the simple retort is: ‘Those are not officially gazetted fatwas of the Mufti but only the personal opinions of Harrusani’.
By this simple trick, no one can hold Harrusani Zakaria legally responsible for any of his ludicrous pronouncements.
This is the main reason why the IGP could not take action against him - it was not an official fatwa. On the other hand, even his official fatwas bear the approval of the State Legislature - placing him beyond reproach yet again.
Harrussani is in an unassailable position of ‘heads I win, tails you lose’. Idiots rule.
B. The Chief of UMNO Putera
Then we have the Government in the wings that is now really ruling this country.
The chief of the Umno Putera, the Tamil-speaking Datuk Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim, has suggested that the Mat Rempits should be roped in to catch snatch thieves.
Mat Rempits, who have been known to be involved in snatch theft and gang rapes, are now reported to be acting as pimps for their girlfriends.
Azeez also suggested that any Mat Rempit who catches 30 snatch thieves will be given a motorbike.
Azeez had also suggested once that the police close certain stretches of public roads so that the Mat Rempits could have their street races.
This particular moron is closely identified with another Oxford graduate a.k.a. the SIL or Son-In-Law (capitals intended).
Just like Harrusani Zakaria, his distinct lack of intellect has NOT reached its bottom yet.
Idiots rule.
C. The Religious Officer
Now we have the latest brain-dead pronouncement by Abu Hassan Din Al Hafiz.
Abu Hassan was once the Religious Officer to the Agong (the King) in the Istana Negara.
His brother was none other than the other brain-dead 'ulamak jin', Dato Harun Din, who was a professor at University Kebangsaan Malaysia.
Abu Hassan Din, who enjoys much respect among the kampong folks, has jokingly suggested in public that his female family members start wearing chastity belts to protect them from sex perverts and rapists.
Abu Hassan said that as a husband he would also ‘feel more secure’ if his wife wore a chastity belt.
These are the foolish pronouncements of idiots who still have a large following among the simple-minded.
How are our people ever going to crawl out of their ignorance if we have leaders and public personalities espousing such ridiculous ideas in public? Idiots rule.
Confucius said that a leadership is defined by its language (or something like that). High values, high morals, high standards of manners and breeding should all be expressed by the leader. This will then set an example for the community as a whole.
In the Quran, this Confucian concept is known as ‘uswatan hasanah’ or a good example. Abraham is cited as an ‘uswatan hasanah’ or good example for the Prophet and for all the Muslims.
The Muslims are also encouraged to become an ‘uswatan hasanah’ or an exemplary people for all of mankind.
But in Malaysia the Muslims presently have a zero chance of becoming even half baked ‘uswatan hasanah’. It is just not going to happen.
In Malaysia, the immoral, the ignorant, the cheats and the lowlife have been put in high places.
What is most saddening and sickening is that in Malaysia there is no shortage of Muslims with high moral values. There are plenty of them all around us. But very few are hoisted to their real position in society.
As a result, the Mat Rempits and brain-dead ulamak rule the day.
Idiots rule.
