Jamil Khir: Jangan persoal status Tugu Negara, patung Tunku

Oleh Syed Mu’az Syed Putra

KUALA LUMPUR, 9 Jun — Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom berkata status Tugu Negara dan patung Bapa Kemerdekaan di Parlimen tidak boleh disamakan dengan tugu 1 Malaysia yang dibantah pembinaannya di Perlis.

Ini kerana jelas beliau, Tugu Negara yang dibina lebih empat dekad lalu bukan lagi lokasi sambutan Hari Pahlawan sejak tahun lalu, malah istiadat kalungan bunga juga diharamkan selaras dengan fatwa kebangsaan.

“Kita kena faham, sejak saya ambil alih (jawatan menteri) kita telah menukar (lokasi) sambutan Hari Pahlawan, kita sudah tidak lagi lakukannya di Tuga Negara.

“Kita buat dengan mengikut apa yang dikeluarkan Muzakarah Jawatankuasa Fatwa Majlis Kebangsaan, kita ikut fatwa yang dikeluarkan,” katanya ketika dihubungi The Malaysian Insider.

Ditanya sama ada kedua-dua tugu itu harus dikekalkan, Jamil Khir bagaimanapun enggan mengulas lanjut, sebaliknya hanya mengatakan “itu cerita lain.”

Kelmarin, Pemuda PAS Johor mahu Jamil Khir menyatakan pendirian mengenai status Tugu Negara dan patung Almarhum Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, perdana menteri yang pertama di Parlimen, ekoran pendiriannya tidak bersetuju dengan pembinaan tugu 1 Malaysia di Perlis.

Ketua Pemudanya Suhaizan Kaiat berkata, di samping tugu 1 Malaysia, terdapat tugu yang telah dibina untuk memperingati jasa pahlawan negara iaitu Tugu Negara dan patung Almarhum Tunku Abdul Rahman.

“Saya mengalu-alukan kenyataan yang dibuat oleh Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom yang tidak bersetuju dengan pembinaan tugu 1 Malaysia yang boleh membawa kepada pemujaan.

“Pandangan beliau adalah sama dengan pandangan yang diberikan oleh Mufti (Perlis, Dr Juanda Jaya) supaya sebarang unsur-unsur pemujaan agar tidak diwujudkan,” katanya.

Khamis lalu, Mufti Perlis Dr Juanda Jaya menasihatkan kerajaan negeri tidak membina tugu 1 Malaysia yang disebut-sebutkan akan didirikan di Perlis dalam waktu terdekat.

Juanda berkata jawatankuasa fatwa negeri yang bermesyuarat April lalu memutuskan bahawa tugu yang disebut-sebutkan itu tidak wajar dibina kerana ia bercanggah dengan akidah Islam.

Jamil Khir pula berkata kerajaan bersetuju dengan pandangan jawatankuasa fatwa Perlis yang menegah pembinaan tugu 1 Malaysia.

DIDN'T ASK TO BE BORN A MALAY, SAYS NIK AZIZ

Bernama - Monday, February 28

KOTA BAHARU, 27 Feb (Bernama) -- PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said today that he did not ask to be born a Malay.

The Kelantan Mentri Besar added that it was only by coincidence that he was born in this country.

Nik Aziz said that it did not matter what community he was born into as long as he was a Muslim.

He was responding to a statement by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad that he should be grateful for being born a Malay because this meant that he would be Muslim.

Nik Aziz said that all races were the same, and what made a person special was that he was a Muslim.

He said that he was striving for Islam as a religion of moderation and was opposed to extremism which contradicted Islam.

French Parliament endorses burqa ban in public

(Bernama) PARIS: The French parliament finally passed Tuesday a bill to prevent women from wearing face-to-toe veil covering whole body in public spaces across the country, reported China’s Xinhua news agency.
French Senate voted 246 to one to approve the burqa ban bill. France now reside five million Muslims, ranking as the largest Islamic community in European Union.
Women who violate the ban and insist putting full-face-covering veil in administrations, hospitals and parks risk to be fined 150 euros (about US$195) or take citizenship lessons.
While any man convicted of forcing their wives to wear the burqa will have to pay a 30,000 euro fine (US$38,984) and face jail term up to one year.
The ban will come into force next spring if the Constitutional Council gives green light to the bill after final review.
Statistics from the Interior Ministry shows that some 1,900 Muslim women are wearing the burqa across France.
“Long live the Republic with no covered face, is a question of dignity and equality. It is a question of respect for our republican principles,” French Justice Minister Michele Alliot- Marie said.
The ban will come into force next spring if the Constitutional Council gives green light to the bill after final review.
Officials say the ban is a measure likely to preserve security and to guarantee women’s rights but critics fear the measure will stigmatize Muslims and fuel racism.

From the age of three these women have been brainwashed to cover their face. I think muslim men should cover their eyes instead and lock-up their dicks and throw away the key if they cannot control their animal urge to bonk a woman who does not cover her face. Why should women be made the victims when the men are not in control of themselves?? In Islam women will always be made second fiddle and be subservient to the men in all that they want. This is taught in asramas by the ulamas and muftis that pleasing the husband is the most important thing otherwise "talak" is used. that is why muslim women are very insecure as the men hold the trump card...

If they want to dress for the desert, then they should stay in the desert.

Some Malays are regretably, also mindlessly trying to ape the Arabs, resulting in the Arabisation of Malay culture.

THAT IS JUST ONE bullshit excuse to try and force ISLAM down other peoples throat.

If the moslems in France feels that way, they all should go back to Arab saudi, iran, iraq, Indon, MALAZUTLAND and all the stupid countries... why go to foreign land and then insist on following their own countries uncivilised religion?

We hope the French Judiciary will not be as stupid as Malaysian judiciary in overturning the most Modern BILL i ever come across. And if all the other Western countries are not stupid, THEY SHOULD ALL FOLLOW SUIT and impose similar ban.

I dont really care if moslems wants to remove equality or dignity of their womenfolks, who cares. BUT you all know very well the IMPRACTICALLITY of fully covered face in Public.

How do you she is not a man with a hideous weapon under the dress, or if she comes to see me as an officer for my signature, How the FUKK do I know who I am talking to?

Any moslems who wants to insist on a stupid religious rule should all go back to the country of Mohammed and BURQA their faces to death , thats their problem.

BUT at the moment US and Australia are being stupid not realising that the freedom of religion in these countries are the very same benefits and previleges that certain moslems are making use of to FORCE their stupid religion to others...

While they claim freedom of religion, they also then claim freedom to demand OTHER religion be downgraded or repressed such as their demands to remove crucifix or other symbols from schools where they can then superimpose their Moon and star symbol. NOW what does that means?

AND also note, EVEN Malaysia does not recognise the Burqa..

If I was the french govt, any men guilty of forcing their wives to wear the full veil in public should all be DEPORTED BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGINS or if they were French born, I would SIMPLY GUILLOTINED THEM.

I am all for it, the burga ban by the French! Iit is tantamount to liberating women from shackles that skewed their lives for no apparent reason. If they live in the desert, the veil shall serve to ward the sand from their faces, but the religious ulama will say that it is against islamic religion for a woman to expose 'aurat'. How so when so many of Malaysian unwed and veiled Muslim girls cover their aurat but produce babies which they throw away like a rag dolls by the tong sampah, or longkang??? To what extend is the teaching of Islam to cause the supposedly pius Muslim ladies to throw away these unfortunate babies who were never asked to be born??? Which sin carries heavier penalty, the one who 'expose' the aurat (face) but are righteous or the one who covers from head to toes but producing babies out of wedlock and kill the babies as where and when!!!

Be decent, good and pure at heart, that is all that matters in all religions!!!!

Lokasi Hari Pahlawan berpindah ke Putrajaya

2010/03/31
KUALA LUMPUR: Kerajaan hari ini memutuskan lokasi sambutan Hari Pahlawan yang sering diadakan di Tugu Negara pada setiap 31 Julai akan dipindahkan ke Putrajaya, kata Menteri Pertahanan, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Beliau berkata, pemindahan lokasi itu adalah sebagai mematuhi garis panduan oleh Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan dan Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (Jakim) sebelum ini yang menyatakan sambutan itu tidak boleh diadakan di kawasan yang mempunyai patung menyerupai manusia.
Perkara itu diputuskan dalam mesyuarat bersama antara Kementerian Pertahanan dan Jabatan Perdana Menteri hari ini.
"Pada tahun ini kita akan adakan sambutan di satu tempat yang tertakluk kepada Perdana Menteri tetapi dataran tetap akan dibuat atas persetujuan bersama antara Kementerian Pertahanan, Polis Diraja Malaysia dan Jakim.

"Elemen-elemen perayaan kali ini akan mengikut garis panduan yang ditetapkan oleh Jakim dan disahkan oleh Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan," katanya kepada pemberita di lobi Parlimen di sini hari ini.

Zahid berkata, perkara itu turut dipersetujui Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, malah beliau meminta permbinaan dataran yang berkeluasan dua hingga tiga ekar itu disegerakan.

Sementara itu, Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom, yang turut hadir pada sidang akhbar itu berkata pihaknya akan menimbang cadangan bagi menjadikan dataran itu sebagai tempat perhimpunan yang menepati kehendak Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan dan pada masa yang sama dapat memberi gambaran kepada masyarakat tentang pengorbanan dan jasa pahlawan negara.
Menurut laman portal Majlis Fatwa Malaysia (http://e-fatwa.intranetportal.my), telah diwartakan dua fatwa mengenai Hari Pahlawan iaitu amalan seperti tiupan "Last Post", bertafakur dengan menundukkan kepala, meletakkan kalungan bunga, bacaan sajak, nyanyian dan tiupan "Rouse" yang dilakukan di hadapan tugu dalam upacara menyambut Hari Pahlawan adalah bercanggah dengan Islam dan boleh membawa kepada syirik.

Selain itu bacaan sajak yang boleh menimbulkan semangat kepahlawanan adalah diharuskan dengan syarat tidak dilakukan di hadapan tugu atau di tempat atau dalam suasana yang dilarang oleh syarak. - Bernama
