Nik Aziz ziarah keluarga Lee Kuan Yew

SINGAPURA (Harakahdaily) - Menteri Besar Kelantan, Tuan Guru Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat semalam diterima sebagai tetamu kehormat bekas Perdana Menteri Singapura, Lee Kuan Yew.

Beliau ke negara republik itu bagi memberi penghormatan dan mengucapkan takziah kepada keluarga Kuan Yew berikutan kematian isterinya, mendiang Kwa Geok Choo.

Deligasi Tuan Guru Nik Aziz yang juga Musryidul Am PAS tersebut turut disertai Exco Kerajaan Kelantan, Datuk Husam Musa dan dua setiausahanya yang lain.

Ketibaan rombongan di Lapangan Terbang Changi, Singapura jam 10.20 pagi semalam, disambut Timbalan Pesuruhjaya Tinggi Malaysia ke Singapura, Dr Ahmad Faisal Muhamad.

Mereka kemudianya ditempatkan sementara di bilik rehat di VIP Complex sebelum dibawa menziarah mendiang Kwa di Sri Temasek, kediaman rasmi Lee di Istana di sini.

Kunjungan ke Istana kemudiannya disambut anak kepada mendiang Kwa, Lee Hsien Loong yang juga Perdana Menteri republik ini sekarang.

Nik Aziz dibawa menziarah mendiang Kwa sebelum diberi peluang bertemu dan berbual-bual dengan Hsien Loong yang sentiasa berada di sisi mendiang ibunya sejak lawatan dibuka kepada umum semalam.

Semalam juga adalah hari terakhir untuk rakyat negara itu memberi penghormatan sebelum jenazah mendiang dibawa ke Mandai Crematorium hari ini untuk upacara terakhir.

Kwa, 89, meninggal dunia di rumahnya pada petang Sabtu lalu.

Ketika ditemui selepas lawatan itu, Nik Aziz berkata beliau mengharapkan ahli keluarga sabar menerima ketentuan tersebut.


"Saya hadir untuk ucap takziah kepada keluarga Kuan Yew. Jangan bersedih sangat dan saya yakin mereka sabar terima ketentuan ini," katanya ketika ditanya beberapa wartawan tempatan dan antarabangsa. Menurutnya lagi, penganut Islam mempercayai bahawa hidup dan mati adalah kepunyaan Allah, dan dia berkuasa ke atas hamba-Nya.
"Semasa kita hidup ini kita kena isi betul-betul untuk keredhaan Allah sebab kita mati akan jumpa Dia (Allah).

Dalam pada itu, beliau turut memaklumkan lawatan tersebut juga adalah sebagai kunjungan balas terhadap lawatan Kuan Yew ke Kota Bharu awal tahun ini.

Nik Aziz bagaimanapun tidak dapat bertemu dengan Lee Kuan Yew sendiri semalam ekoran masalah kesihatan bekas perdana menteri Singapura itu dengan ditambah pula dengan suasana kematian isterinya.

Kuan Yew kini sedang mendapat rawatan ekoran infeksi pada paru-parunya selepas lawatan ke Eropah, baru-baru ini.

Difahamkan, pihak hospital juga tidak membenarkan Kuan Yew menerima kunjungan tetamu buat sementara waktu.

"Lee Kuan Yew datang melawat Kelantan awal tahun ini, dan ini adalah kunjungan balas saya.

"Walaupun tidak dapat bertemu, saya harap beliau berada dalam keadaan sihat," katanya.

Tapi mana lah kedua Lim ? Lim Kit Siang dan Lim Guan Eng ? Main politic pandai sahaja ! Bodoh betul kedua Lim .

Nik Aziz

KOTA BHARU (Harakahdaily) - PAS Murshidul Am Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat’s statement that he was proud to be a Muslim but not a Malay has drawn reactions from the usual group of people, namely Perkasa and its mouthpiece, Utusan Malaysia.

The Malay daily, known for its extensive coverage dedicated to the issue of Malay dominance, suggested that the Kelantan Menteri Besar had forsaken the fight for Malays.

"While there are efforts to eliminate special rights of Malays, Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said he was not proud of being a Malay," said the staunchly right-wing UMNO-owned Mingguan Malaysia, Utusan's weekend edition.

Its political cartoon column, Senyum Kambing, also took issue with Nik Aziz's statement.

For his part, Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali said he was not surprised with Nik Aziz’s statement, saying the latter had revealed his true identity as someone who used religion to attract non-Malay voters.

At a dialogue-cum-Hari Raya gathering with journalists recently, Nik Aziz said a Muslim's Islamic identity was more important than his race.

“I am not proud to be Malay. Race comes automatically and in Islam there is no longer (the issue of) race,” he was quoted as saying.

He said the Kelantan state government had spent RM7 million to build a mosque based on Chinese architecture in Rantau Panjang in its effort to rid the problem of racism in society.

Meanwhile, Nik Aziz’s press secretary Ahmad Fadhli Shaari chided Utusan’s failure to grasp "such simple statement".

“What Tuan Guru Nik Aziz is saying was I’m not proud to be Malay, but I am proud to be Muslim. All sane people know how to evaluate the statement. It seems that Mingguan Malaysia does not belong to the group,” he quipped.

Nik Aziz : Sex education in schools is like teaching thieves how to steal properly

Hello Tok apa ini ?

KOTA BAHARU (July 2, 2010): Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat disagrees with the move to teach sex education in schools, saying it will do more harm and good to the younger generation.

The PAS spiritual leader said, among others, the move would encourage children to learn about sex among themselves, resulting in negative incidences like throwing away of unwanted babies.

"There is already sex education in Islam like parents should have a separate sleeping place for their children when they reach the age of seven and that women should be properly covered," he said after delivering a religious lecture, here, today.

He said introducing sex education in schools would be like teaching thieves how to steal properly.

Nik Aziz also wanted illicit sex to be termed as "zina" in Islam and not as "seks bebas" (free sex) as deemed by some quarters.

"What's wrong with calling 'seks bebas', 'zina' as the latter word would instil some fear in Muslims? And those who commit 'zina' should be punished under the hudud law," he said.

The issue of sex education has long been discussed and debated with several quarters urging sex education to be implemented in schools to curb social ills like unwanted pregnancies and throwing away of babies, which has become rampant of late.

However, to date there has been no decision on the matter.- Bernama

Axe attack for blogger critical of Nik Aziz

I hope they don't blame it on the Non Muslims or UMNO

Aidila Razak & Jimadie Shah Othman
Jan 11, 10

A blogger who has been highly critical of Kelantan Menteri Besar Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat and his administration, was shocked to discover that the rear windscreen of his Nissan X-trail had been smashed with an axe.

Syed Azidi Syed Abdul Aziz, who runs the popular blog 'Kickdafella', told Malaysiakini that the incident happened around 11pm yesterday at his house in Demit, Kota Bharu.

"I was mixing a drink in the kitchen when I heard a loud noise outside. I looked out of the window and saw a car parked in front of the house,” he said.

Syed Azidi filed a police report about midnight.

He said he had seen a grey Proton Wira Aeroback parked opposite his house and had stepped out to provide assistance, as he thought that the car had been involved in an accident.

“Just (then), the driver did a U-turn and stopped the car right in front of my house. This scared me so I rushed indoors,” he said in the police report, adding that he did not note the registration number.

He later found the rear windshield of his vehicle shattered and a 30cm-long steel axe located approximately 2m away. Damage is estimated at RM3,700 at least.

Syed Azidi said he believes the attack was “politically-motivated and followed several (recent) blog postings”, but declined to elaborate as investigations are underway.

In a posting today, he said he was informed that certain parties are unhappy about his writings.

“I was earlier told by a politician that a certain party is looking for me and is threatening to beat me up because of my blog posting which have been critical to the Kelantan MB's family and a certain private company,” he wrote.

Cutting remarks

One posting includes cutting remarks about his former boss Abdul Ariffahmi Ab Razak and wife Nik Amalina - a daughter of Nik Aziz. They were accused of being “cowards” for not facing up to state executive council member Husam Musa at a recent meeting.

The blogger, however, maintained that he is a strong supporter of Husam and that he remains loyal to Nik Aziz.

Syed Azidi was sacked as corporate liaison officer with state-owned company PMBK last November, in a move allegedly linked to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission probe against Mohd Arifffahmi (right) which began that month.

Mohd Ariffahmi has refuted this claim, saying that Syed Azidi was sacked for disciplinary reasons.

Mohd Ariffahmi, who joined PMBK in 2008 and was promoted as chief executive officer last October, resigned the following month following pressure from many, including top PAS officials.

He maintained that his resignation was not an admission of guilt, but a show of respect and loyalty to his father-in-law, who had been accused of practicing cronyism in the appointment.

K'tan turmoil: Two Nik Aziz's aides to be axed

The rift in Kelantan PAS has taken a turn for the worst as Menteri Besar Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat is at the verge of sacking two of his two long-time political aides.

The media have recently been abuzz about this latest development which involved political secretary Anual Bakhri Haron and press secretary Mohd Saiba Yaakob, whose positions will be determined at PAS Dewan Harian this afternoon.

Speaking to Malaysiakini this morning, Anual confirmed the news but stressed that he had “no problems” in relinquishing his post.

“Besides, I have talked about this (resignation) before... I have served (Nik Aziz) for over 10 years,” he said.

When asked whether his contract termination has anything to do with the ongoing internal feud within the Kelantan state government, he replied: “I would not go that far (to describe it).”

The unease in the state government also went up a notch when senior exco Husam Musa, who is considered Nik Aziz's protégé, launched an indirect criticism against his boss, suggesting that government leaders should separate political interests from family interests.

Husam, in a blog posting yesterday, said two former prime ministers - Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Abdullah Ahmad Badawi - were seen to put the interest of their own family members above that of the nation.

He did not however touch on the accusation that Nik Aziz was practising cronyism in appointing his son-in-law Abdul Ariffahmi Ab Rahman as head of a strategic state government-linked company.

As calls for Abdul Ariffahmi to quit grow louder, Nik Aziz's daughter Nik Amalina (left) attacked PAS leaders for failing to defend her husband in the face of graft allegations.

Nik Aziz: DAP sudah boleh terima penubuhan negara Islam

PETALING JAYA, Dis 28 — Mursyidul Am PAS Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat mendakwa DAP kini sudah dapat menerima rancangan penubuhan sebuah negara Islam yang diperjuangkan oleh PAS selama ini.

Nik Aziz berkata kesediaan pemimpin DAP membawa lambang PAS dalam Pakatan Rakyat ketika ini membuktikan mereka semakin memahami dan dapat menerima dasar perjuangan PAS.

"Saya rasa bangga dan terharu dengan perubahan yang ditunjukkan kepimpinan DAP kini, yang selama ini dengan jelas membantah dasar Islam yang akan dilaksanakan oleh PAS dalam usaha melaksanakan sebuah negara Islam sekiranya berkuasa kelak.

"Lo ini (sekarang) alhamdulillah semua tuduhan yang dilemparkan (DAP) terhadap hasrat PAS untuk melaksanakan dasar negara Islam itu sudah diterima oleh mereka," kata beliau dipetik Berita Harian hari ini.

Nik Aziz yang juga Menteri Besar Kelantan dilaporkan berkata demikian semasa berucap merasmikan Majlis Perhimpunan Kesedaran Wanita Kelantan dekat Temangan, Machang.

Beliau mengakui turut memakai lambang parti DAP, Parti Keadilan Rakyat dan PAS untuk membuktikan kesetiaan dan hubungan baik yang dijalin antara mereka dalam Pakatan Rakyat ketika konvensyen sulung mereka di Shah Alam, Selangor 19 Dis lalu.

Kata beliau semua pemimpin memakai baju yang memaparkan lambang tiga parti termasuklah Pengerusi DAP Karpal Singh dan Presiden PAS Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang pada majlis itu tanpa dirancang.

"Apa salahnya menggunakan lambang roket? Dulu DAP menentang PAS pasal hukum hudud, namun sekarang mereka sudah faham mengenai hukum hudud," katanya.

Nik Aziz berkata pemimpin DAP sepatutnya sudah lama menyedari yang penubuhan sebuah negara Islam yang dicadangkan PAS dikuatkuasakan terhadap orang Islam sahaja.

Katanya selain membantah cadangan itu DAP juga pernah menuduh kerajaan PAS Kelantan di bawah pimpinannya menzalimi orang bukan Islam tetapi gagal membuktikan dakwaan itu sehingga kini.

Ketika berucap pada konvensyen itu, Nik Aziz berkata "di dada Karpal ada bulan" merujuk kepada lambang PAS bulan.

Kedua-dua Nik Aziz dan Karpal buat pertama kali bertemu di satu pentas.

Karpal dalam ucapannya pula berkata beliau bukan sahaja duduk di sebelah Nik Aziz hari ini tetapi di antara Nik Aziz dan Hadi.

'We'll pray till his stomach bursts'

Far from feeling remorse over the damnation prayer issue, Kelantan Menteri Besar Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat took another swipe at Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak this morning albeit without mentioning his name.

Accompanied by deafening cheers from a huge crowd in Kota Bahru, the PAS spiritual leader proclaimed: "As long as they do not give (the oil royalty), we will pray until that person's stomach bursts."

Nik Aziz was addressing thousands of his supporters who had gathered in the state capital in a show of support for the embattled menteri besar.

"The rejection in oil royalty payment to the Kelantan government could be described as a violation of a basic human rights," he said.

The supporters also wore headbands with the words 'We love Tok Guru'.

Senior state exco Husam Musa, PAS Youth leader Roslani Alani Abdul Kadir and several others also addressed the crowd.

Wah !!! coming from a Spiritual Leader ?

Who once said only PAS members would go straight to Heaven and UMNO members would go to Hell ?

Hey Chinese WAKE UP , if PAS members can only qualify to go to heaven , then all other races including UMNO supporters will go to HELL !!

What a religious crackpot , something wrong somewhere !
