UMNO AND PAS WILL NEVER AGREE ON A COMMON POLITICAL IDEALOGY

I am not optimistic with the latest approach by UMNO to reach out to PAS on a common political ideology through the concept of "muzakarah". This initiative is not the first time as UMNO had tried in the past to entice PAS into a joint political venture, on every general election in the past but nothing happens. Do you sincerely think that Tok Guru will trust the UMNO warlords in Kelantan? PAS has bigger political agenda to create an Islamic identity on its own, but will not succeed if the other sleeping partners, PKR and DAP are not sincere in their political alliance with PAS. It's a political illusion and based on a marriage of convenience.

UMNO will never understand PAS and how can we believe that the proposal for a "muzakarah"will benefit both parties. Speaking from a non Malay persepctive, the Malays in UMNO are materialistic and tend to adopt the western values especially the younger generation. They dance and wine to western music and prefer using forks and spoons rather than eating with their fingers like their forefathers. This is the reality of the Malay modern urban culture and most of them will not feel comfortable with the kampung environment whenever they accompany their parents back to the village. The young ones will look for hotel accommodation.

UMNO political strategy is based on capitalism and materialism whereas PAS is more concern of the possessing the good deeds in this world and prepare for akhirat. UMNO leaders and their senior politicians, especially head of divisions are "bodoh sembong"and egoistic. PAS leaders are simple and easily approachable without much protocol.

However, the concept of "muzakarah"can be viewed positively in order to unite the Malays which is essential to better future political understanding between UMNO and PAS without any compromise to compete with each other's political idealogy. I do not see the fear of the Chinese, Indian and the other minority Malaysians will be suspicious of the plan to unite the Malays that will result in reducing the political polorisation among the Malays. If the Malays stop fighting against each other in order to achieve political leadership, there will be more peace and stability in this country.

As a point of reference, we should not be in a state of denial that Anwar Ibrahim in his quest for political power and his dreams to be the next prime minister, is destroying Malay unity and destablise the political and economic situation of the country. Anwar's influence through his street demonstrations and political illusion to lie and bluff the people had gone beyond control due to the current weak political and management leadership. Generally the people are suffering and the local Chinese tycoons are shifting their investments overseas.

The concept of "muzakarah"can only be realised if both the Malays in UMNO and PAS are sincere in their efforts, otherwise it's a waste of time or remain an empty slogan. "omong-omong kosong aje". Malaysian unity can only be achieved through racial integration in our political and social system with the assurance that the non-malays will not be marginalised.
