Berarah Kepada Politik Matang

Berarah Kepada Politik Matang

(For English Read Below)

1. Semenjak dua menjak ini, selepas Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) di luluskan, ada orang bertanya pendapat saya sama ada politik di Malaysia kurang matang.

2. Setakat ini, kalau kita lihat di sekeliling kita, apabila ada sesuatu isu atau kenyataan daripada sesuatu parti (BN atau PH) reaksi daripada pihak bertentangan ialah pekikan membantang dengan nada yang begitu keras dan lantang sekali. Kerapkali kelantangan ini disertakan dengan perasaan amarah, kadangkala sehingga menghina dan mencaci semata-mata kerana perbezaan pendapat

3. Bersuara memanglah hak kita di dalam sesebuah demokrasi, tetapi antara pekikan membantang yang keras dan bersuara dengan matang banyak bezanya. Perbezaan pendapat boleh dibincang dengan mengenengahkan fakta-fakta dan hujah-hujah yang bernas bagi menarik perhatian ramai. Ianya tidak semestinya di suarakan dengan nada yang begitu kasar dan mengutuk pendapat yang berbeza. Ianya tidak seharusnya melibatkan keperibadian seseorang melainkan keperibadian itu membawa kepada kemudaratan bagi seluruh masyarakat.

4. Tidak seperti seseorang Menteri baru-baru ini yang setiap kali cuba mematahkan hujahan pembangkang, akan berbalik menyerang keperibadian seterunya itu dan bukan mematahkan hujahannya.

5. Sesungguhnya di dalam halaman politik, kita perlu mendengar pendapat semua pihak dan mengambil kira perasaan semua pihak. Pendekatan yang matang akan membawa kepada dialog dan seterusnya jalan penyelesaian yang berdiplomasi bagi semua.

6. Diplomasi tak bererti kita lembik. Kita boleh bertegas, tetapi kita harus cari jalan berkompromi supaya Negara dan masyarakat boleh maju ke hadapan.

7. Diplomasi dan berdialog adalah batu asas politik

8. Apa guna bersuara lantang dan keras dalam membangkang jika kita akan hanya sakit tekak, hilang suara dan menjadi pekak?

9. Walaupun kebanyakan ahli politik dari parti PH berasal dari pelbagai NGO, dan pekikan membangkang adalah kelaziman mereka, saya harap mereka akan sedar bahawa Rakyat Malaysia sudah bosan mendengar ucapan yang sentiasa bernada marah.

10. Saya harap mereka akan sedar diri dan berubah menuju ideologi politik matang.

11. Politik matang sesuai untuk semua ahli politik bukan daripada Barisan Nasional kerana kalau kita ikut konsep ini, kita ada peluang besar untuk menang hati dan jiwa rakyat.

12. Politik matang adalah satu konsep yang akan membawa rakyat Malaysia bersatu padu ke arah masa depan.

13. Malah, politik matang adalah satu konsep yang patut diberi perhatian sewajarnya, kerana jika tidak keadaan Malaysia akan terus mundur.

14. Dengan politik matang, masyarakat Melayu boleh memerdekakan minda kita, kerana politik matang mempraktikkan konsep Maruah Melayu.

15. Justeru, untuk mencapai tahap politik matang, masyarakat Melayu perlu lenyapkan konsep Ketuanan Melayu daripada minda kita.

16. Kita harus berpegang kepada prinsip ikatan sejagat dan memperkasakan Maruah Melayu supaya kita dapat bergerak sebagai sebuah masyarakat yang bersatu walau berbeza pendapat, dan mengubah kepada politik matang.

17. Jika Masyarakat Melayu mempraktikkan politik matang, masyarakat daripada kumpulan etnik lain akan mula hormat kepada kita. BN akan takut dan mula menghormati kita.

18. Kita tidak boleh fikir tentang diri kita sahaja lagi. Malaysia tidak boleh dibina semula kalau kita ikut pendapat saya sahaja. Malaysia tidak boleh dibina semula kalau kita ikut cara dan pendapat seseorang sahaja. Malaysia hanya boleh dibina semula kalau kita semua Bersatu.

19. Kita harus membina semula Malaysia untuk anak anak dan cucu-cicit kita. Itulah tanggungjawab kita semua.

20. Oleh itu, saya ingin semua ahli PPBM menjadi pembela negara supaya negara kita berarah menuju masa depan dengan berpandukan konsep politik matang yang sehaluan dengan konsep Maruah Melayu.

Bersatu, Beramanah, Bermaruah

The Need for Mature Politics

1. Since the approval of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM), some have asked my opinion if there is some level of immaturity from various quarters when it comes to politics.

2. Currently, if one were to look around, whenever a statement is issued (either from BN or PH), there seems to be automatic heated response and finger pointing without any basis. This stems from the pent up anger that has lately been ejaculated to which has become personal vendettas with the intent to assassinate a character.

3. In a democracy, it is our right as citizens to voice out our frustrations, however, shouting our frustrations will not bring any form of solutions. Dissenting voices must be backed up by facts and allowing others to also voice their opinions based on facts. We should not use our anger to shout with the intent of character assasination. We must remember that our words can affect a society's wellbeing.

4. We should not be like a certain Minister whom, yesterday, having received a phyric victory when two individual's lawsuits were withdrawn, proceeded to character assasinate a movement's figurehead so as to intentionally avoid the main points of contention which ails the country's progress.

5. In politics, we need to hear differing viewpoints from all sides. A mature approach to politics will allow everyone to enter a dialogue that will inevitably result in solutions via the use of diplomacy.

6. Diplomacy does not mean weakness. One can be firm, but sustainable solutions for the long term benefit of the nation and its society lies in a series of compromises.

7. Diplomacy and dialogues are the basic foundations of politics.

8. What is the point of shouting when all it results in everyone shouting, a sore throat, losing our own voice and deaf? We should not lose our testicles because of politics of individualism and hatred.

9. Most of the current Pakatan politicians have roots in NGO's, where shouting their concerns is part of their character. I pray that they begin to realise anger can not become the engine for this nation to move sustainably forward and that the voters do not want to hear politics of anger.

10. I pray they realise that to become the nation's engine we need to evolve towards mature politics.

11. We in the Opposition coalition want to win, and by practicing mature politics we can win over the hearts and minds of the voting public. We should not be like BN who are experts in manipulating people's emotions.

12. Mature politics is the only way for us to bring this nation forward. Together

13. If we do not practice mature politics, Malaysia will further regress.

14. The Malay community will be the biggest beneficiaries of mature politics as it is part of the Malay Values (Maruah Melayu)

15. Thus, to achieve mature politics, the Malay Community must reject outright the concept of Ketuanan Melayu

16. We must hold on to the concept of the universal bond that is Malaysia and empower Maruah Melayu so Malaysians can eventually move forward together as one, despite our individual differences and evolve towards Mature Politics.

17. If the Malay Community practices mature politics, the other communities will begin to respect us. BN will be shaken and also start to respect us.

18. We cannot act and think of us as individuals. Malaysia cannot begin reconstruction if we follow our own whims and fancies. Malaysia cannot reconstruct if you, the people, follow my own whims and fancies. Malaysia can only begin reconstruction of we, together you and I, work together. Yes, Bersatu.

19. We must begin reconstructing Malaysia for our children and grandchildren. This is our responsibility. The responsibility lies with you and I.

20. Therefore, I wish all members of PPBM to be the vanguards to reconstruct our nation for a sustainable future. We must advocate for mature politics which is part and parcel of Maruah Melayu.
