I first read about it at Ustazah Noraslina's Blog (link) but was still rather blur about it. But when Ustaz Hasrizal also wrote about it (link), and explained with details from various sources, then did I understand the urgency of the matter.
They want to build more night clubs, 'offer more jobs', bring in more money into the country by bringing in more tourists, hold more concerts by foreign artists (not that I think local artists do not cause any "damage" to society).
To say that I'm truly shocked, well, not altogether. Isn't it just natural of people who 'put their country first' by all means necessary?
It's very 'nice' of them to throw in some select adjectives (like Rasulullah, Makkah, and some verses from the Holy Qur'an and some hadiths) in their speeches or even hold or take part in some 'religious' campaigns to say, 'Hey! I believe in it too! I work for Islam too' and yadda yadda yadda, but at the end of the day, we just come to one conclusion:
We're being fooled. Orang Melayu cakap, 'di gula-gula kan'.
We're being fooled into believing that we're in the same boat (well in a way we are) with them - what I mean is we're working towards the same aims for the same reason but...
nope. I know I would like to believe it of them. I would like to think good of them. But when the ugly truth comes out, it's distinct as black and white.
Well, that's my two cents of it.
