Silenced by Mahathir and Sarawak Report, RPK takes on Lim Kit Siang…

RPK, Najib’s man: Mahathir and Sarawak Report are trying to silence me. “I won’t be silenced!”

You define the Perlembagaan Malaysia according to the Qur’an and not the other way around. Instead, Andy Yong is asking that the Qur’an be defined by the Perlembagaan Malaysia. Big mistake! No Muslim will agree to that.

NO HOLDS BARRED

Raja Petra Kamarudin

The Gerakan deputy youth chief, Andy Yong, wants to debate Islam with me (READ HERE). It appears he is upset with my article ‘Chinese should stop trying to prove they are stupid’ (READ HERE).

“What is he trying to prove? First of all, I have never attempted to define Islam, but the constitutional aspect of it. What I explained was that it is inevitable that if Hadi’s bill comes into force, it will affect the non-Muslims as well,” Andy Yong, who is a lawyer, said.

Andy Yong added, “On Raja Petra’s confusion, like some others about Hadi’s bill… it is actually to extend the power of the syariah court to be able to implement Kelantan Syariah Criminal Enactment (II) (1993) 2015, that is, to impose hudud punishment. Simply put, (it is) to give freedom for the state to enact higher punishment. So I am actually a smart Chinaman.”

Well, if Andy Yong is a smart Chinaman as he claims he is, maybe he can then read the summary below and tell us where does it state that Kelantan wishes to impose Hudud punishment? Furthermore, in what way will this so-called Hudud punishment affect non-Muslims?

There is no punishment of amputation or death sentence by beheading. It only punishes Muslims who commit adultery. Non-Muslims like Andy Yong can go ahead and bonk anything that walks and talks and they will escape punishment, even if they bonk their own mother or sister.
…

So what has changed and in what way will non-Muslims suffer if the amendments are passed by Parliament? These laws have been in force long before the Chinese and Indians first migrated to Malaya in huge numbers from 1850 to 1920.

Another amendment is if you swear a false oath in the name of Allah then you will be punished. Is Andy Yong saying that non-Muslims also swear oaths in the name of Allah? Why should non-Muslims get punished, as Andy Yong says they will, for swearing a false oath in the name of Allah when non-Muslims do not accept Allah as God? (Chinese will swear ‘potong ayam’ and not ‘dengan nama Allah’).
…

Andy Yong said, “First of all, I have never attempted to define Islam, but the constitutional aspect of it.” And this is the biggest flaw in Andy Yong’s argument. What does he mean by the constitutional aspect of Islam?

Islam already has a Constitution or Perlembagaan and that is called the Qur’an. So when you discuss Islam you need to discuss it from the aspect of the Qur’an and not from the aspect of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia or Perlembagaan Malaysia, like what Andy Yong is doing.

You define the Perlembagaan Malaysia according to the Qur’an and not the other way around. Instead, Andy Yong is asking that the Qur’an be defined by the Perlembagaan Malaysia. Big mistake! No Muslim will agree to that.
…

So, Andy Yong, you are not really as clever as you think you are because nowhere in your comment have you once mentioned the word Aqidah and what it means to Muslims. You might as well go challenge the Aqidah of Christians by telling them that the Trinity is bullshit and that Jesus never died on the cross or came back to life three days later. If you can succeed in that then come back and try to convince Muslims that Aqidah is not an essential part of Islam.

Raja Petra wrote, “The non-Muslim Chinese and Indians may have earned the right to call themselves Malaysian citizens but that does not mean they have also earned the right to tell Muslims how they should practice Islam.

“Andy Yong needs to do a reality check and not assume that his Malaysian citizenship means he can define Islam. Islam is defined by the Quran and not by people like Andy Yong.”

Gerakan Youth deputy trades blows with RPK over hudud

Gerakan deputy Youth chief Andy Yong has slammed blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin for distorting the politician’s comments about the Hudud Bill and accusing the Chinese of being stupid.

“Raja Petra in his article published in Malaysia Today yesterday has caused dissatisfaction among some non-Muslims in the country.

“There are complaints that such a statement is humiliating and causing disunity and enmity,” Yong said in a statement today.
…

“What is he trying to prove?” retorted Yong, a lawyer.

“First of all, I have never attempted to define Islam, but the constitutional aspect of it.

“What I explained was that it is inevitable that if Hadi’s bill comes into force, it will affect the non-Muslims as well,” Yong said.

Hudud will affect all M’sians, not just Muslims

COMMENT Over the last few days, we have read and heard so many statements that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang’s Hudud Bill will not affect non-Muslims on both sides of the political divide.

Such remarks are absurd. The key concerns are about its legal and constitutional aspects, not race or religion.

If the hudud of PAS is allowed to be implemented, it will have serious implications, affecting all Malaysians including non-Muslims.

There will be inequality of laws and this is clearly disallowed by Article 8 of the federal constitution.

More importantly, the supreme law does not allow other legislation to encroach into the offences provided in the federal law i.e. the Penal Code.

Offences and its punishments such as rape, theft etc, are provided for in the Penal Code.

So the Bill, though it seems to enlarge the jurisdiction of Syariah Court i.e. Act 355, is actually legislation to allow Hudud PAS to be implemented through the back door.
…

At the end of the day if it is implemented, it will not only write another chapter in constitutional history, but a revolutionary one.
