Responsibility to aid every Malaysian, says PM
By R.S.N. MURALI
KUALA TERENGGANU: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi acknowledged that he would fail his responsibility as a good Muslim leader if he deprives non-Muslims in the country equal opportunities and quality education.
Citing versus from the Quran, Abdullah said it’s his paramount onus as a Muslim head of state to witness non-Muslims develop under his leadership.
“Even Prophet Muhammad ensured that minorities under his care were not deprived during his era, even though they were not Muslims.
“My responsibility is to aid every Malaysian regardless of their religion, and quality education should also reach Chinese and Tamil schools,” he said Saturday when addressing some 2,000 Islamic scholars and teachers at Wisma Darul Iman here.
Abdullah said the needs of minorities and non-Muslims should not be ignored by Muslim leaders.
“They should listen and provide the necessary remedies; that is a good leadership professed by Islam,” he said.
I just hope he has gotten approval from his son in law prior such declaration ….
Besides, there’s a internal plan to bring him up as the next Edu minister .
Rembau holds the key……
talk only no action..is not good
As usual what he says and what he does is two completely different things altogether. What good leadership did he show, that in his 4 years in power as the pious and moderate Imam Hadhari, religious intolerance and zealotry has spread far and wide throughout Malaysia? Don’t be fooled for a second. Beneath that Mr. Nice Guy Moderate Imam look, it is being used as cover to slowly but surely Islamize the country in accordance with the boiling frog theory.
If we don’t make a stand now, we can blame no one but ourselves when we wake up one day in a conservative Islamic (Hadhari) country.
