Peranan Islam Dalam Pentadbiran Malaysia (1)

Islam's role on Malaysia administration.

T.D Mahathir practised "Islamisasi/Islam" during his ruling time.
He seemed to be very success on practising such legacy on his politic ruling time.
He has been known as "Islam Mahathir"
He said:
"Legitimacy is also promoted trough attention to emotional and material appetites and in the case of the former, these are usually fed by symbols, relevant to their time, in order to substain the political system."

History/Entry:

At the very first beginning, Islam had been practised by Malay to show their loyalty toward their ruler/Raja whom has been regarded as the authority full with the religional power rationalized through the teaching of Islam.
Religion was once the supporting vote's attractor by the authorities in Malay's political stream. But during 1946, all of these have changed.
UMNO has been set up where it has replaced the "system "BERAJA"" in Malay's community.
UMNO make those Raja(s) lose their ruling power to P.M; they remain their honourable title "raja" and sit as powerless one than PM.

Islam remains as the main religion for Malaysia. The position of Islam in the country allow the gov't to do things with respect of their religion and other religions beside than Islam also been allowed to practise in a peaceful and harmony mode..

Compare with other people whom live in muslim country, I think we (non-muslim)can considered as one of the fortunate one where majority of them are not allow to practise their religion freely (*even the country leader say/state they could,but actually they got no right/freedom ). They have alot of limitation and restrictions on their respective religional welfares/practises.

The best example:
We can find temples, church and mosques any where in Malaysia but it is very hard for us to find temples and churches in other islamic countries like where I'm in now.

I feel a bit proud with Malaysia's syariah laws and i think our religional administration is far more better than other muslim countries,at least some FAIR treats they give to us. There isnt any public restriction on what type of fashion you wear, non-muslims are allow to practise their respective religions freely in this country, you can buy pork/alcoholic drinks in the market, you will not been sue or under any syariah laws if you arent involve with religion case and others.

For other muslim country, most of the people (non-muslim) are treat with unfair +unreasonable religional laws act by the authority. There isnt any other option for non-muslim students whom study in some muslim's country govt institution where they are asked to study Islamic religional studies as their compulsory session.



D.Mahathir did say,
" ...It is known fact that muslim countries control most of the world natural resources then and even today. Yet, muslims countries are generally caught in their own quagmire of abject poverty and internal violences. There are more intra-muslim conflicts within muslim countries and between muslim countries, than these are between muslims and their detractors"

"...In a world dominated by the big powers where none is Islamic, where such injustice exists that muslims without weapons are left slaughtered by their enemies, where an Islamic country can be isolated and its people made to die of starvation, and where muslims are fighting each other, and who are confused by their own teaching; are backward, poor and weak; can they enjoy any benefit from 21st century."

I'm really agree with this, It always happen in our country even the neighbouring country where I'm in now. Really sad regard to that matters.



**For your information, I don't against any religion, but if you want me to respect your religions...Please , show your full respect on your own religion first before asking others to respect!

Most people think that T.D Mahathir's vision towards Wawasan 2020 as his own aim to make Malaysia become a developed Islamic state. He wants his people able/manage to campete with the modern and latest technology and economy.

During 1984, T.D Mahathir has announced that he wanted to establish Malaysia's gov't with "the concept of development in Islam".

He also did strengthen on most of the Islamic regions/countries are undeveloped as well as left behind by the modern tech era just because most of them eager to accept the extra/other knowledges which other than religional study.

Like what been admitted by Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, the chairman of OIC (U.S):
"...we (muslim) used to be the creators of scientific ideology and medicine. We lost it because we lost our ethics. We have become egoistic...
we must cooperate among ourselves to regain the former glory of Islam. We brought many technological changes to the world before losing our creative talents to our egos. We were jealous of seeing others do better than us. We must keep up our competitive spirit to work towards enhancing our lives in line with the advancement of the world.:

I think what he said is right. I think it shouldnt only apply to muslim but also to non-muslims.
Seem like everyone of us live in jealousy and selfishness.
Instead of thinking of the most slick way/jealous to other's success..
Why dont we build up competitive spirit to work towards our aim/success???


Thats right, I have asked some of my Muslim friends. Most of them dont admit to that fact.

T.D Mahathir always hold his strategy on his logic on which he think invoking Islam for national endeavours to achieve economic progress and development to raise race and nation.

From my view,
Instead of trying to spread the teaching of Islam (priest/Iman) to the community, he is trying to use his own religion to strengthen his own belief;)
