I call upon PAS leadership, the Majlis Syura Ulama, and the entire Perikatan Nasional leadership to take immediate and unequivocal action against Datuk Ahmad Marzuk Shaary, MP for Pengakalan Chepa for his recklessly seditious, inflammatory and utterly irresponsible remarks likening Malaysia\u2019s multi-ethnic society to the tragedy of Palestine under the genocidal occupation of Zionist Israel.<\/p>\n
\n
He claims that non-Muslims and non-Bumiputeras now dominate major corporations and strategic assets have long slipped away from the grasp of the Muslim community.<\/p>\n
He accuses non Bumi and non Muslim of slowly reshaping political power, and are writing writing new chapter of Palestinian histiry on Malaysian soil.<\/p>\n
\n
If PAS as a party agrees with his words, then Malaysians will take your silence as confirmation that you share his belief \u2014 that non-Muslims in this country are somehow analogous to Zionist occupiers.<\/p>\n
\n
But if PAS disagrees, then it must order Datuk Ahmad Marzuk to publicly apologise to all Malaysians. The same moral demand applies to Bersatu, Gerakan and every PN component party. Either repudiate his words, or stand condemned for complicity.<\/p>\n
\n
\u00a0Using the Suffering of Palestinians in Vain<\/p>\n
\n
To invoke the sacred suffering of the Palestinian people \u2014 whose oppression is a global wound \u2014 as a political metaphor to vilify fellow Malaysians is sacrilege in spirit and sin in essence.<\/p>\n
It is a betrayal not only of Islamic values of justice and truth, but also of the human decency that binds all faiths and peoples.<\/p>\n
\n
To twist that into a political weapon of fear against Malaysia\u2019s non-Muslims \u2014 who are your compatriots, not colonisers \u2014 is to mock the very teachings of the faith you claim to defend.<\/p>\n
\n
Let us be honest: what Marzuk said was a coded declaration of cultural war against non-Muslims and non-Malays. By comparing Malaysia\u2019s plural society to Palestine\u2019s occupation, he paints his own neighbours as enemies within.<\/p>\n
\n
No one should tolerate such seditious provocation that strikes at the heart of national unity, social peace and constitutional order.<\/p>\n
\n
This is\u00a0 incitement under the cloak of religion, a betrayal of Islam\u2019s call for moderation and its Prophet\u2019s example of coexistence.<\/p>\n
\n
\u00a0Malaysia Is a Covenant, Not a Battlefield<\/p>\n
\n
Malaysia was founded on a covenant of coexistence \u2014 the Federal Constitution. In it, Islam is recognised as the religion of the Federation, but with constitutionally held guarantees of freedom and equality for all citizens.<\/p>\n
\n
To say that non-Muslims are \u201coccupiers\u201d in their own homeland is to trample upon that covenant, and to tear at the fabric of our collective amanah as Malaysians.<\/p>\n
\n
Marzuk\u2019s words are a smear to Malaysia\u2019s fundamental fabric, and is therefore an absolute threat to our peace, and i demand that the authorities take actions that are commensurate with such.<\/p>\n
\n
\u00a0Call for Accountability<\/p>\n
\n
Therefore, I demand the following:<\/p>\n
\n
1.\u2060 \u2060PAS must issue a formal statement clarifying its stand on Marzuk\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n
\n
2.\u2060 \u2060Datuk Ahmad Marzuk Shaary must apologise to all Malaysians for his reckless and divisive rhetoric.<\/p>\n
\n
3.\u2060 \u2060Bersatu, Gerakan, and every PN component party must state publicly whether they endorse or repudiate his view. Failure to act is to consent by silence.<\/p>\n
\n
\u00a0Faith Demands Truth, Not Hatred<\/p>\n
\n
As an MP, I stand with every Malaysian \u2014 Muslim and non-Muslim \u2014 who refuses to let our beloved land be poisoned by lies disguised as faith.<\/p>\n
\n
To misuse the name of Palestine is to desecrate humanity. And to sow hatred among Malaysians is not an act of piety \u2014 it is an act of betrayal of our Palestinian brothers and sisters’ name and suffering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
