YOUR OPINION | “You may want to focus on drugs, incest and the national celebration called corruption.”
PAS MP hopes that there will be no more alcohol industry in M’sia in the future
New day: Pasir Mas MP Ahmad Fadhli Shaari, we have many things and problems in Malaysia that many wishes would eventually cease to be.
Issues like child marriage, restrictions on unmarried people being together, restrictions on music and dancing, people flaunting their positions by driving the most expensive cars possible, politicians who act and think that are above the law (no quarantine or bicycle helmets), acceptance of endemic corruption, as well as the continuous and questionable attacks on DAP, non-Malays and liberal Muslims, type two diabetes (due to high consumption of sugar) and the abuse of migrant labor.
This is not a complete list. However, out of all these problems, he focused on a person’s right to drink an alcoholic beverage. It has once again marginalized the 30 percent of Malaysians who are legally allowed to drink.
Apaknakdikato: Ahmad Fadhli and Pasir Puteh, MP Nik Muhammad Zawawi Salleh, today you try to ban alcohol, and then you try to ban pork, and finally ban other religions.
Don’t try to impose your beliefs on others. Stop being a moralist because there are many non-Muslims who consume alcohol responsibly and have high moral values. In fact, they contribute more to the country than you.
Falsely insulting other people’s faith as “terpesong” (deviation) in Parliament shows their high level of disrespect for non-Muslims.
I can assure you that the Christian community in Malaysia will not erupt in riots after their insult because they know that their faith remains unshakeable.
If an irresponsible non-Muslim in Parliament launches an Islam-like insult, can you guarantee that there will be no violent demonstrations or riots from fellow Muslims?
His insult to the Christian community is serious and I am surprised that the Speaker of the House has allowed it, probably indicating that he has a bigoted mentality similar to yours.
You have no right to dictate how non-Muslims should lead their lives. It is much better to correct yourself before attempting to correct others. Isn’t that what your religion taught?
Vijay47: Ahmad Fadhli, as a member of the PAS, especially as the chairman of his party, Abdul Hadi Awang, it must be inevitable that he must engage in frequent displays of hypocrisy and selective piety.
Your demand that alcoholic beverages be banned can pair well, neat or on the rocks, with those crowds on the corner. coffee shop (coffee stand) while wisely sipping their air sirap or taking a puff or two or three of ketum.
But I will vehemently protest your latest outrage, from two perspectives.
Don’t impose your Islamic values on me. I am a Christian and my religion does not forbid me to drink alcohol; however, it does urge caution, moderation, and responsibility.
As for my sins or virtues, where I hope that the latter will outweigh the former, I am very prepared, thank you, to account for them when I finally seek to enter through the pearly gates.
If religious adherence is your concern, why choose drinking, a pastime that Muslims are supposedly not likely to enjoy?
Maybe you’d like to focus on drugs, including, yes, the ketum, incest, and the national celebration called corruption.
That should at least reduce the housing pressures that hell would otherwise suffer and in the meantime turn Kelantan into a virtual paradise, despite the deluge of Mercedes Benz vehicles.
However, if your anxiety is road safety, you may want to direct your misplaced concern to the police. Yes, the one who eternally faces trouble locating a criminal who runs away with his unfortunate daughter.
Police would agree that since drunk driving constitutes less than two percent of traffic accidents, the wisest minds would prefer to pay attention to larger causes such as speeding and irresponsible driving. Unfortunately, that would require wisdom.
Mafeeah: To solve driving under the influence of alcohol, prohibit alcohol. To solve drug addiction, ban drugs. To solve corruption, ban money. To solve khalwat and zina, do you ban men or women?
GreenTurtle6724: @Mafeeah, for all this, if you prohibit the aforementioned with the indicated, the problems are still there, only they cannot manifest themselves.
It is not cured by getting rid of the symptoms of a disease; there is a need to get to the root cause.
If you do something illegal, you go underground and, in the case of alcohol, the government loses revenue in the form of excise taxes.
Drinking alcoholic beverages has long been a part of people’s lives before the advent of Islam.
The only problem is its abuse, but you don’t expect there to be an auto industry just because cars kill or forbid knives because people can use a knife to kill.
BusinessFirst: I think it is more urgent to educate the public about the dangers of smoking. Even parents who smoke discourage their children from doing so.
It is a waste of money and the cause of many terrible diseases, most commonly lung cancer. It destroys the physical and financial health of families.
If you are truly concerned about public health, this is something you should fight for. However, you focus only on alcohol, which is a minor social evil, and wine drunk in moderation actually has health benefits. There are no benefits to smoking, except perhaps marijuana as a pain reliever.
Therefore, this is nothing more than carrying out an agenda based entirely on your religious beliefs. Live your life as you see fit, but stop imposing your religious beliefs on others.
His objection is not related to health, although he disguises it that way. It is purely carrying out your religious agenda as you are totally silent about smoking, which is a major social harm.
Ipohcrite: PAS has again failed to recognize the elephant in the room. The most serious problem is not alcohol, but drugs, and the states governed by the PAS are not free from this scourge.
Rather, they are among the top statistics on drug addiction.
