Hi Kha Sin,
Today's paranoia might be tomorrow's reality.
It was truly a paranoia decades ago that PAS could earn a place to rule until Kelantan fell into their hands they take it as a training ground and to preach Islamic value into the State administration.
It worked out well since Kelantan is a predominantly Malay State and all Malays are born to be Muslims abided by Malaysian law.
Chinese being the minority in the State, have livened in harmony so far with the Malay brethren and as we all know, we are a race quick to adapt to environment as long as it's a place we have ways and means to 'cari makan' and prosper! Being a EastCoastal State, it is far in the hinterland as compared to KL the capital city and therefore lives there are simple and tranquil. Development there slow maintained as kampung style to match the nearby Thai border State, with a little above par.
Life is traditionally mundane the Kelantanese are happy with the status quo so long as they have enough rice on the table, there are mosques for them to do their ritual and prayers etc. basic easements are all they require. I had been there several times and found myself as if in the tunnel of time reversed back 10 to 15 years Penang's scenario!
That's Kelantan and that's a State ruled by PAS. The supremo Tok Guru Nik Aziz is the MB and he's such a lenient and venerable pious Muslim even we from afar State would give him respect only to hear the eponym 'Tok Guru Nik Aziz' and his mild implementation of Islamic value into the State governance.....He justifies the adding of religious essence into his governance!
Hadi Awang is the national President of PAS (Parti Islam seMalaysia) and he failed once being the MB (1999 -2004) of the neighboring State - Trengganu!....Hearsay had it that he was way above more fanatic and aggressive than Tok Guru in implementing Hudud Law which was in contradicting with Tok Guru's preaching. Hence BN recaptured the State in GE 2004 out of fears of Trenggane voters against this formidable bigot.
Now that Hadi is the adamant proposer for Hudud Law to implement in Malaysia, she being a secular State having practicing common law, as enshrined in the Federal Constitution! It was the mamak ex-Premier who with evil intention on purpose riled up the status of Islamic State with the status of Islam being the national religion!
After tasting with limited power only in running a State, PAS is making a big way to conquer the whole nation by teaming up with their erstwhile rivals who have total disagreement with their preachings!
Kaseng described them as the motley trio (PKR+PAS+DAP) whereas i nickname them the riff-raff group till date they are still an illegal grouping as far as the Malaysian Law is concerned, they have no registration with the Registrar of Society as a political bloc!
Can this makeshift power bloc be able to live by what they pledged in their manifesto and lead the nation to prosper into a blissful tomorrow worth our ponder over.......
