A Green Wave That Needs To Be Stopped!

The green wave unleashed by Perikatan Nasional (PN) intends to get the support of the Malays as much as possible. Pakatan Harapan (PH) and other fraternal political parties must counter this. 

Good governance is not sufficient to counter the untruths and lies perpetrated by PN. The unscrupulous methods of PN in getting the support of Malay Muslims by virtually inventing lies and half truths about PH and others are shameful. If the phenomenon of green wave depends entirely on smearing others – both non-Muslims and Muslims alike – then one can speculate on the longevity of the phenomenon itself.

More than this, the green wave seems devoid of understanding of the multi-racial and multi-religious character of the country. It merely caters for the particular toxic version of PAS’ political ideology. They are most welcome to go to Pakistan, Afghanistan or Iran.

The newly elected MP Fawwaz Mohamad Jan of the parliamentary constituency of Permatang Pauh, marched with his army of PAS supporters into a shopping mall in mainland Penang’s Seberang Jaya to stop the promotion of alcohol in conjunction with Chinese New Year.

There was no necessity on the part of Fawwaz to march into the mall (with a group of his supporters) to stop the promotion of alcohol. Promotion and sales of alcohol might be offensive to Muslims, but this was meant for the non-Muslims. There was nothing strange or extraordinary about the event itself.

Why lead a group of PAS supporters in demanding the mall management to desist in promotion of alcohol sales? What was done by the mall management was within the ambit of local government rules and regulations. If this was done illegally, Fawwaz had the right to complain to the Sebarang Perai local council (MBSP).

The action by Fawwaz was subsequently uploaded in the social media particularly Tik Tok – the favourite social media platform used by PAS. It is evidently clear that the first-term MP Fawwaz wanted to show his heroism against the promotion of alcohol to push the limits of the green wave.

Isn’t there a better way of promoting PAS? Are non-Muslims the target of PAS’ green wave? There are so many people-related issues in the parliamentary constituency of Permatang Pauh but these are not touched at all by Fawwaz.

Why target the non-Muslims on the matter of promotion of alcohol? Is PAS the undisputed moral guardian of society? Where will it stop? Dress code? Gaming? No Bikinis on beaches?  How about Jakim given powers to enforce moral or sensitive matters? There are serious issues of corruption, quality of service and helping the poor in this cost of living crisis but PN or PAS are busy on non-issues. We will dissipate our resources chasing after the insignificant.

God doesn’t need any help on morality – He sees your heart and knows whether you have lusted, cursed or murdered someone in you heart. Only man judges by outward appearance. So please put a stop to this army of “green” vigilantes lusting for power in the name of God!
