Even the thinking Muslims are repelled by Hadiās extremist and bigoted views.
Transparency International-Malaysia (TI-M) president Mohammad Mohan has censured Hadi for having a narrow myopic view of corruption.
He
said corruption is colour blind and such comments made in a
multiracial, multiethnic and multifaith democracy were ādeplorable,
racist, slanderous and potentially seditiousā.
He said Hadiās remarks smack of a
narrow, myopic view of corruption and provokes feelings which are in
direct antithesis with the prime ministerās concept of āKeluarga
Malaysiaā and that in the month of Merdeka, it was sad and shameful to
hear such baseless and provocative comments on eradicating corruption.
Hadi is in the unique position of being the prime ministerās special envoy to the Middle East but is banned from visiting the most important Middle East country - Saudi Arabia.
Can
Hadi explain how he could be the special envoy to the Middle East when
he is banned from visiting the most important Middle East country, Saudi
Arabia?
Furthermore, is it true that Saudi Arabia is not the only Middle East country he is banned from visiting?
Wouldnāt
a self-respecting political leader resign his appointment under these
circumstances or is he more attracted to the emoluments and perks of the
appointment without having to do any work?
Hadi is behind time
If Hadi wants PAS to penetrate non-Muslim areas, then he must give up his extremist and bigoted views.
Is he prepared to emulate the DA
Hadi is behind time and continues to spout irrational, extremist and even racist views.
He
does not realise that Islam does not differentiate among the races,
religions, cultures or nationalities on the question of corruption.
There are some 1.8 billion Muslims in the world as of 2015 ā roughly 24 percent of the global population ā and the majority of Muslims globally (62 percent) live in the Asia-Pacific region like Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran and Turkey while only about 20 percent of the worldās Muslims live in Middle East-North Africa region where the religion originated in the seventh century.
There
is not a single Muslim-majority among the top 10 countries regarded as
least corrupt, while three Muslim-majority countries are among 10
countries regarded as the most corrupt in the world.
There
is no need for the courts to pass judgment as the court of public
opinion has already convicted Hadi as a bigot and extremist, who is not
prepared to be a Malaysian, seeing all things through an extremist
racist and extremist religious lens.
When
Transparency International (TI) started its annual Corruption Perception
Index (CPI) in 1995, Malaysia was way ahead of India, China and
Indonesia which were respectively ranked No 35 with 2.78 points (India),
40 with 2.16 points (China) and 41 with 1.94 points (Indonesia) out of
41 countries surveyed.
In 1995, Malaysia was ranked No 23 and scored 5.28 out of 10 points.
After
27 years, in the TI CPI 2021, Malaysia is ranked No 62 out of 180
nations with a score of 48 out of 100 points as compared to China which
is ranked No 66 with a score of 45 points, India ranked No 85 with a
score of 40 points while Indonesia ranked No 96 with a score of 38
points.
All three countries of China, India and
Indonesia have made great strides in fighting corruption while Malaysia
had been falling behind and ranked and scored worse than in 1995.
Can Hadi explain this phenomenon through his irrational and extremist logic?
