PAS, Please Be Wary of Wong Chun Wai(MCA)’s Traps
The message Wong Chun Wai is trying to deliver is: Reject PAS and Pakatan Rakyat and return to MCA/Gerakan and BN, so that u can continue to pay high petrol prices, pay for corruption, pay for high food prices and submit to every whims and fancies of UMNOPUTRAS while you children starve at home. And what are all this sacrifice for? The freedom to wear lipsticks and high heels (which was never banned by MPKB anyways).
(Borrowed from Jedyoong.com, Men enjoying some cold beer at a kopitiam in Jalan Kebun Sultan this afternoon.)
These past few days, we have seen how MCA via their #1 agitator, Wong Chun Wai, have been raising minor and insignificant issues against PAS with the reason of creating feeling of uneasiness and hate among the Chinese and Indian electorate.
They're cheap tricks and it reflects the level of politics Wong Chun Wai operates in. Nothing but stupid and idiotic politics fit for 3rd world country mentality. If only Wong Chun Wai was this vocal against the rise in petrol prices that has effected so many families and businesses. The tragedy that ensue the rise in petrol prices is pale in comparison to the alleged ban on “lipsticks and high heels”. If you ask 100 people to choose between cheaper petrol prices and permission to wear lipsticks and high heels, I am very sure 99 out of 100 will choose the former.

PAS leaders need to repeatedly highlight several facts that Wong Chun Wai and the MSM prostitute media will never admit to:
a. PAS has a long standing policy of not forcing Islamic practices upon Non-Muslims. It is wrong and against a clear injunction of the Quran. It is also part of the Shariah of Islam. Religious freedom is guaranteed under PAS in line with Article 3 of the country’s constitution. The Quran says:
“002.256
YUSUFALI: Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.
PICKTHAL: There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.
SHAKIR: There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; therefore, whoever disbelieves in the Shaitan and believes in Allah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.”
b. PAS is NOT a racist party and does not adopt racist policies in their administration. The biggest example I’d like to cite is Ng Yen Yen, Ketua Wanita MCA. She was once a recipient of Kelantan Government scholarship under the then MB, Dato Asri Haji Muda. I was told, there is even a picture of Ng Yen Yen receiving the money from Dato Asri. Another example is during 13th of May 1969. Dato’ Asri proactively met with all the Penghulu in Kelantan and issued a strict order to allow any harm or hurt befell upon the Chinese of Kelantan. I think the words used were “tidak mahu ada pertumpahan darah di Kelantan ini”.
c. The Islamic injunctions implemented by PAS are those from Shariah and they are injunctions agreed upon by all scholars of Islam. For example, the covering of aurah is not a rule made by PAS or anyone. It is a rule direct from the Al Quran and As Sunnah without dispute.
d. PAS has managed to demonstrate a commendable economic achievement in Kelantan. For example, despite the total encirclement by UMNO/BN, they have managed to lift the poverty level from the poorest to 6th poorest, according to official figures. If Kelantan remained in BN’s hands, it will remain the poorest state in the Federation, like Sabah.
e. All of the sensitive religious issues that had happened before this i.e. body snatchings, razing down of temples etc are the handiwork of UMNO/BN administration. Such things has never happened in PAS states. The latest body snatching incident is now happening in Penang, a DAP state, not PAS.
In short, the issues being raised by Wong Chun Wai and his band of misfits are, at best, minor issues. Wong Chun Wai represents a group of desperate people, at the end of their pitiful rope and are now desperately trying to justify their pitiful existence in the Malaysian political arena.
At the end of the day, Wong Chun Wai should ask, what is the main role of MCA, apart from becoming “kuda tungganggan” of UMNO?
The latest Ninth Malaysian Plan report presented by Pak Lah, says that the income gap between races has improved. I expected this since 2 years ago on the count that people close to Pak Lah has been gobbling up government project and opportunities like a fat man in a doughnut factory.
That’s the reason behind the kissing of Keris and all the racial ranting uttered during several UMNO General Assemblies. All of it was nothing more than a thinly veiled threat against BN component parties to not question the gobbling up of major projects by Malay UMNOPUTRA. That explained the ever rising tensions we saw during the past several years running up to the election in 2008.
Maybe it is best for Wong Chun Wai to discuss matters pertaining to the welfare of the people of Malaysia, rather than discussing about wearing serban or not when riding a motorbike. I mean, discussing the issue of serban only reflects Wong Chun Wai’s inept and immaturity. So we the general public must not be sucked into Wong’s level of immaturity.
On the Serban issue, I just like to share what Jed Yoong had written in her blog :
“I only just saw The Star’s frontpage photo of boys in serbans. Terrible. Look at how innocent the boys were — posing for the photo and smiling. Little did they know that the MCA-owned paper will make fun of their religious beliefs.
The paper reported today:He (State police chief Senior Asst Commissioner (I) Datuk Abdul Rahim Hanafi) said the exemption was only for motorcyclists wearing the traditional serban and not other forms of headgear.
“Those wearing other than the strict version of serban will be booked,” he said. I hope the paper and its chief editor will stop such bigoted reports and blog posts. Read my earlier post here.
I say it again: “Wearing a serban is an individual freedom.” Wong’s behaviour shows no amount of money and power can buy “class”. Trash will always behave like trash”
Although, personally I do not support wearing of serban when riding a motorbike, but I have to agree with Jed Yoong, making an issue out of this is just plain stupid.
Lastly, I call upon PAS to reassure Malaysians once again of PAS’s commitment towards ensuring that Islam is not imposed upon non-muslims and that all are free to practice their faith and beliefs. It’s not difficult for PAS to do that as PAS has already demonstrated it in Kelantan.
Please do not fall to traps sprung by those who are desperate to remain relevant in Malaysia’s political arena.
