Watch out for the latest attempt by UMNO to create discord.
Staring at destruction in the face with it’s internal politics, UMNO still has time to try and portray itself as ‘champions’ of the Malay race. The latest would be their criticism of the Selangor government’s decision to set up a RM100m pig farm in Sepang.
You can of course anticipate the statements (courtesy of my ‘favourite’, Utusan Malaysia):
“insensitive to Malays”
“PKR subservient to DAP”
“people of Selangor strongly objects”
Seriously, I am a Muslim Malay, and I have no qualms about a pig farm or several pig farms, as long as there are proper waste management. And if you look at Selangor MB Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim’s statement today, the RM100m project was to centralize all pig farms in the state. Further, the pig farm will have advanced waste management system, in which:
“Sebarang bahan buangan dari ladang tersebut
akan diguna semula dalam bentuk biogas untuk menjanakan elektrik,
air untuk pembersihan ladang serta penanaman makanan untuk babi yang diternak,”
All pig farms in the state will be relocated to the one in Sepang.
Really, if UMNO thinks that we Muslims are so easily offended by the very mention of ‘babi‘, and that we’re so insensitive that we cannot tolerate others enjoying their rights, then UMNO is so far out of touch with Malay Muslims.
Ponder what Selangor Exco Member, Dr. Halimah Ali of PAS said about the ‘issue’:
“Tak ada apa masalah, ini hak kepada bukan Islam. Cuma timbul masalah sentimen di kalangan Melayu seolah-olah babi lebih berat dari masalah rasuah, jenayah dan sebagainya, padahal bagi orang Islam khinzir tak boleh makan (haram) sahaja,”
Some UMNO members certainly think that pigs are more haram than corruption and bribery.
