JAKIM is unconstitutional and must be removed

FMT - Ku Li: Jakim an unconstitutional body (extracts):

 

SHAH ALAM: Veteran Umno leader Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah has alleged that the political exploitation of Islam is usually the work of leaders without grounding in the religion, and they include Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who established Jakim, the federal department for Islamic development.

Jakim was a result of Umno’s attempt to out-Islamise PAS and its establishment was unconstitutional, the Gua Musang MP told FMT in a recent interview.

He said Mahathir saw PAS as a threat when he was in power. “So he went on with his Islamic programmes, setting up Jakim, for instance.”

He said those Umno politicians who joined the “who-is-more-Islamic” race were mostly people who lacked Islamic knowledge to any appreciable depth. “That’s why they go all out on religion, to compensate for what they lack, just like Mahathir.”

Jakim’s establishment was formally announced in 1997. It is a unit of the Prime Minister’s Department. Among its responsibilities is to determine the halal validity of products from the consumer food sector, which is worth billions of ringgit.

Ku Li also referred to the “Inculcation of Islamic Values” policy announced by Mahathir soon after he became prime minister in 1981.

The policy became more aggressive after firebrand Islamist leader Anwar Ibrahim joined Umno a year later, in what was then considered a major catch by the Malay party in its bid to neutralise the influence of PAS, which had begun to promote its idea of an Islamic state.

if that was in a long house ... ho ho ho 

According to Ku Li, Umno has no need for such a policy.

“Umno is already Islamic,” he said. “You need not tell the world that we are Islamic. We are already Muslims. And there’s no such thing as extreme Islam or moderate Islam. Islam is Islam.” [...]

The Kelantan prince is not the first to question Jakim’s status, which has frequently been accused of promoting extreme Islamic conservatism.

One prominent critic is Sultan Ibrahim of Johor, who in 2015 questioned the huge annual budget allocations for the department. [...]

Three years ago, former MP Tawfik Ismail suggested that Jakim be abolished, sparking a debate on its constitutionality.

It's clear what must be done next, to wit, remove JAKIM from its unconstitutional existence. Not only will Malaysia rid itself of a troublesome sore, it'll save RM1 Billion a year, which has been the outrageous annual budget for an unconstitutional JAKIM.

That RM1 Billion budget per year unconstitutional organisation's job seems to be making life difficult for mums who have baked their own birthday cakes for their lil' darlings and want to celebrate kiddy birthdays at MacDonald.

JAKIM is also worried at the national importance of making sure Auntie Annie cooks Pretzel Cats and not Dogs, once Cadbury which was suspected of having porcine DNA in its cocoa-milk-sugar bars called chocolate, and warning Muslims not to keep dogs, that sort of world-shaking issues.

Then it employs biadab-ish blokes like Zamihan Mat Zin who Johan Ariffin wrote at FMT just a few months ago as ... an officer at the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim), [who] spewed his racial filth on Malaysians of Chinese origin and criticised the sultan as seen on YouTube, people were shocked by his crudeness and the absurdity of his speech.

Yes, Zamihan has the most un-Malay biadab-ness and derhaka-ness and the sheer effrontery to criticise HM Sultan Johor for the latter's royal dissatisfaction with a Muslim-Only launderette. 

Zamihan also had the notoriety of calling the PM of the country 'unintelligent' which might won him some undeserved brownie points with anti-Najib camps, wakakaka, but it showed his utter arrogance as a so-called civil servant. He has been banned by HRH Sultan Selangor from giving any Islamic lectures or speeches in the state.

Why then is JAKIM still pay-rolling this MOST biadab-ish derhaka-ish un-Melayu un-Malaysian cyborg?

Because JAKIM is unconstitutional and may the Almighty forgive them for they know not.

once he raved, rant and railed

now, ... silence

But we taxpayers won't - let's get rid of one more of Mahathir's expensive idea, one that is still ongoing at an expensive RM1 Billion a year.

Wait, before I forget, JAKIM has devoted itself to a month of investigating into Nur Sajat sexuality.

See! I told you JAKIM has been deeply involved in earth-shaking national issues, which prompted Nur Sajat to ask JAKIM: Am I the country’s biggest problem?.
