KENYATAAN AKHBAR

KENYATAAN AKHBAR: FLIP FLOP PEMBEKUAN PTPTN, KERAJAAN HILANG PUNCA

Kelab Anwar Ibrahim (AIC) sebagai sebuah organisasi anak muda hari ini ingin menyelar tindakan flip-flop Kerajaan

Umno BN yang cuba bermain tarik tali dan berpolemik tentang pinjaman PTPTN kepada dua IPTS yang dinaungi

Kerajaan Selangor iaitu Unisel dan KUIS.

AIC hairan bagaimana sebagai sebuah kerajaan yang menguruskan aspirasi rakyat dan pembinaan masa depan,

bertindak bodoh dengan mengugut masa depan anak-anak muda hanya kerana berbeza polisi dengan musuh

politik.

Seharusnya BN lebih ampuh untuk menegakkan dasar pendidikan mereka, bukan dengan membekukan pinjaman

PTPTN dan membuat kenyataan dangkal ianya sebagai 'peluang' Pakatan Rakyat melaksanakan pendidikan

percuma.

PTPTN: SASARAN AWAL BN YANG MENEMUI JALAN BUNTU

Pada perkiraan awal, BN menjangkakan golongan mahasiswa yang terlibat akan cemas dan panik lalu menolak

dasar pendidikan percuma dan mengangkat 'PTPTN' sebagai tunjang yang membolehkan pendidikan tinggi

berlangsung.

Namun melihat kepada kebarangkalian dan kemampuan Kerajaan Selangor untuk menyelesikan masalah tersebut,

melalui pengumuman Unisel akan mencairkan aset bagi membantu mahasiswa ini, BN mula cemas dan mengubah

taktik.

Ini ditambah dengan sentimen anti kerajaan Umno BN yang mula membahang di laman sosial terutamanya Twitter.

Malah wujud pendapat tidak senang dari pimpinan Umno BN sendiri berikutan langkah kurang bijak dari Khaled

Nordin Menteri Pengajian Tinggi.

Maka hari ini, melalui SMS yang disahkan pegawai PTPTN bahawa pejabat Menteri telah mengeluarkan arahan

pembekuan ditarik semula.

Namun apa yang Khaled Nordin dan BN tidak buat perkiraan adalah rakyat telah sedar bahawa regim ini pada bila -

bila masa yang mereka kehendaki, keperluan dan hak rakyat boleh disekat dan ditarik begitu sahaja dan BN sedang

menguruskan sebuah zaman yang nyata berbeza , zaman yang dipenuhi anak muda idealis dan berani untuk

melawan kezaliman.

Sebarang tindak-tanduk melampau dan bodoh oleh pemerintah pasti akan disambut dingin dan menemui jalan

sempit untuk dilaksanakan. Hari ini telah membuktikan tekanan hebat oleh rakyat terbanyak membuatkan kerajaan

lemah ini kecut perut dan menjilat ludah mereka sendiri.

AIC percaya zaman untuk menggunakan rakyat sebagai 'tebusan' politik telah berakhir. Saat ini AIC yakin lonjakan

sokongan yang datang dari golongan atas pagar terhadap ketelusan Pakatan Rakyat, telah meningkat pada satu

tahap yang membanggakan. Riwayat pemerintah zalim bakal berakhir atas satu kesilapan yang mereka

sengajakan.

The silence of our friendsPOSTEDBYDENNIS IGNATIUSINDEMOCRACY,HUMAN RIGHTS,INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS,MALAYSIA,UNITED STATES

Senators John McCain and Joe Liebermans recent visit to Malaysia did more harm

than good.

According to local media reports, Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman, who came

visiting recently, expressed their admiration for Malaysias democratic model and even

went so far as to suggest that it might serve as a template for other Muslim countries.

There was only the barest hint of reservation during their press conference when they

made vague and passing references to foreign election observers and further democratic

reforms.

It may well be that they raised democracy and human rights issues with Prime Minister

Najib Tun Razak and Foreign Minister Anifah Aman when they met in private but it is their

public positions that are disturbing.

First, though they must surely have learned from their meetings with the Leader of the

Opposition and other civil society groups about the real and serious challenges to

democracy in Malaysia, they chose not to reference these issues in their public comments.

Their silence concerning the deeply flawed electoral system, restrictions on the media, and

on public gatherings and the absence of a lot of other democracy essentials is troubling.

Unsurprisingly, the senators comments were immediately taken as American endorsement

of both the governments reform agenda and Malaysias governance model. Their

comments were even absurdly stretched to suggest that Malaysias political system might

even be superior to that of the United States.

Second, they saw the gleaming towers and shiny limousines and were understandably

impressed. There is, after all, much to be impressed about Kuala Lumpur. To them it was

probably a vindication of the free enterprise system at whose altar Americans love to

blindly worship. Did they, however, also learn about the massive corruption, the system of

crony capitalism and the exploitation and abuse of migrant labour that fester beneath the

surface? If they had, they might have been more nuanced in their assessment.

Thirdly, their comment that Malaysia could serve as a democratic model for other Muslim

countries is both condescending and insulting. Malaysia is, at best, a quasi-democracy. Our

democratic space is already diminishing rapidly as a result of increasing limitations on

press freedom, free expression and public assembly.

Is this the kind of system that should serve as a template for democracy in other Muslim

countries? Are the senators suggesting that this is the best that we are capable of or that

the world expects no more from Muslim countries? Why shouldnt all governments, east or

west, secular or religious, developed or developing not be expected to live up to minimum

standards of freedom, human rights and good governance?

Whatever the honourable senators might think, they should know that the flawed political

system that masquerades as democracy has been found wanting by the people of

Malaysia; just ask the tens of thousands of people who thronged Merdeka Square in April.

By endorsing this stunted quasi-democratic model and, indeed, promoting it as an example

to the Muslim world, the senators did a great disservice to the struggle for freedom and

democracy everywhere.

The problem with all too many American leaders is that they tend to view everythingthrough the prism of their own narrow interests. For so long as foreign rulers toe the

American line, buy American weapons and keep their markets open to American

businessmen, they can do no wrong.

American leaders get excited about freedom and democracy when it suits them but turn

away when it is inconvenient. The principles and the ideals of their own constitution


4/12

apparently are not heartfelt enough to be incontrovertible always and everywhere.

At the height of the so-called war on terror, for example, US senators and congressmen

regularly trooped to Putrajaya to praise the way the Mahathir Administration dealt with

suspected Islamic terrorists via the Internal Security Act. One senator even lamented the

absence of ISA-like legislation in other Asian countries. The fact that detention without trial

is contrary to the most basic principles of justice and that it was used to silence critics was

conveniently ignored.

I recall, as well, a meeting with then Secretary of State Colin Powell in mid-2001 at the

State Department in Washington, D.C. Much to the chagrin of our foreign minister, Powell

began by taking us to task on human rights and anti-Semitism. However, to our ministers

relief, Powell quickly shifted track and then excitedly went on to talk about the sale of the

latest American fighter jets to Malaysia. It was immediately clear that he had raised the

issue of human rights and anti-Semitism purely for the record, and without conviction.

It was, of course, business as usual for the country that Ronald Reagan, in a fit of

triumphalism, called a shining city upon a hill whose beacon light guides freedom-loving

people everywhere.

Martin Luther King Jr., a great and heroic American leader, once said, with reference to the

struggle for civil rights in America, that in the end we will not remember the words of our

enemies but the silence of our friends.

The silence of Senators McCain and Lieberman concerning our struggle to build a better

democracy in Malaysia is hugely disappointing. Worse still, their naive and ill-considered

endorsement of Malaysias flawed and stunted governance model is a betrayal of the very

ideals that America claims to champion across the world.

Summary

Discusses philosopher Mull adrs commentary on the opening chapter of the Qur'n.

This book investigates the convergence of philosophy, scriptural exegesis, and mysticism in the

thought of the celebrated Islamic philosopher Mull adr (d. 1050/1640). Through a careful

presentation of the theoretical and practical dimensions ofadrs Qur'nic hermeneutics, Mohammed

Rustom highlights the manner in which adr offers a penetrating metaphysical commentary upon the

Ftia, the chapter of the Qur'n that occupies central importance in Muslim daily life. Engaging such

medieval intellectual giants as Fakhr al-Dn al-Rz (d. 606/1210) and Ibn 'Arab (d. 638/1240) on the

one hand, and the wider disciplines of philosophy, theology, Sufism, and Qur'nic exegesis on the

other, adrs commentary upon the Ftia provides him with the opportunity to modify and recast

many of his philosophical positions within a scripture-based framework. He thereby reveals himself to

be a profound religious thinker who, among other things, argues for the salvation of all human beings

in the afterlife.

By focusing on adrs commentary on the Qur'ns opening chapter, Rustom shows how the great

Iranian thinker created an original Qur'nic hermeneutics as well as a new ontology of the Qur'n.

Rustoms book is a groundbreaking and richly detailed study of the way that adr both appropriated

and transcended the Islamic traditions of theology, mysticism, philosophy, and scriptural exegesis.

Mohammed Rustom has opened the door to a remarkable philosophicalexegesis of the Qur'n in this

pathbreaking study of the outstanding Iranian thinker of the seventeenth century, Mull adr. In the

process, he clarifies the profound connections between philosophy, Sufism, and Islamic theology in

adrs work. This absorbing study will be welcomed by anyone interested in the fundamental

question of how reason interacts with revelation. Carl W. Ernst, author ofHow to Read the Qur'n:

A New Guide, with Select Translations

This first book-length survey of Mull adrs Qur'nic commentaries is a major contribution to the

study of this seventeenth-century Muslim philosopher and to the field of philosophical exegesis in

Islam. Mohammed Rustom presents adrs vision for the unity of the intellectual and transmitted

sciences and gives us a complete picture of a first-rate thinker contemplating upon the Qur'n. He

does an excellent job of contextualizing adrs Qur'nic hermeneutics within the framework of his

Transcendent Wisdom and shows how scriptural reasoning complements philosophical vision. Based

on an in-depth reading and translation ofadrs key texts on Qur'nic exegesis, the book examines a

much-neglected aspect ofadrs thought and introduces the reader to the rich philosophical tapestry

of the Islamic intellectual tradition. Ibrahim Kalin, author ofKnowledge in Later Islamic

Philosophy: Mull adr on Existence, Intellect, and Intuition

Mohammed Rustom is Assistant Professor of Islamic Studies at Carleton University. He is the

coeditor (with Atif Khalil and Kazuyo Murata) ofIn Search of the Lost Heart: Explorations in Islamic

Keluarganya adalah sebuah keluarga yang memelihara adab-adabagama dan nilai-nilai Islam. Dalam suasana tersebut, beliau dibesarkan dan memberi kesanterhadap pembentukan jiwa dan peribadinya. Ketika berusia sembilan tahun, beliau telah menghafalal-Quran dari guru-gurunya seperti Syeikh Muhammad Jamal, Imam Masjid Dahaniah, SyeikhMuhammad Hika, Imam Masjid Hanafi dan Syeikh Mursi al-Misri, Imam Masjid Syeikh Abu Rabah.Muhammad Abu Zahrah mengakui bahawa permulaan kehidupan ilmiahnya bermula dari pengajiandan penghafalan al-Quran.

Dalam aspek pendidikan peringkat rendah, beliau melanjutkan pengajian di Sekolah Rendah al-Raqiyyah dan ilmu-ilmu moden seperti Matematik dan lain-lain di samping ilmu agama dan bahasaArab. Abu Zahrah meneruskan pengajian di Kolej al-Ahmadi al-Azhari di Masjid Ahmadi, Tanta padatahun 1913. Pada tahun 1916, beliau memasuki Sekolah Kehakiman Syariah, Sekolah iniditubuhkan pada tahun 1907 dan hanya mengambil pelajar yang cemerlang.

Muhammad Abu Zahrah dididik terutama dari sudut pembentukan peribadi daripada guru-gurunya disitu seperi Abd Wahab Khalaf dan juga kehidupan ilmiah dengan membuat penyelidikan danpenulisan. Beliau belajar di kolej sehingga tahun 1925. Namun malangnya, kolej ini ditutup padatahun 1923 dan pelajar-pelajar di pindahkan ke Dar Ulum, Kaherah. Hanya beberapa pelajar yangdibenarkan tamat sehingga tahun 1925. Apabila tamat di kolej tersebut, beliau memasuki InstitutLatihan Kehakiman untuk menjadi peguam selama setahun. Pada tahun 1927, beliau belajar di Dar

Ulum selama enam bulan bagi membolehkan ia memasuki peperiksaan bagi mendapat Sijil DarUlum.

Antara guru-gurunya ialah Muhammad Atif Barakah (1872-1924), guru di Kolej Ahmadi, Tanta,Muhammad Faraj Shanhuri (1891-1977), Abdul Wahab Azam (1894-1959) Ahmad Ibrahim Bik,Muhammad Khudri al-Afifi, Abdul Wahab Khalaf, Abdul Jalil Isa, Muhammad al-Banna, Ali Khafif,Husain Wali, Ahmad Amin,Abdul Aziz al-Khuli, dan Mustafa Anai. Muhmmad Abu Zahrah pernahbekerja sebagai guru di Pusat Penyediaan Dar Ulum secara kontrak selama setahun (10 Oktober1927-14 November 1928), kemudian beliau mengajar di sekolah menengah di Kaherah dan Suhajselama dua tahun iaitu bermula dari tahun 1930 sehingga akhir tahun 1932.

Pada awal 1933, beliau bertugas di Kuliah Usuluddin, Universiti al-Azhar. Beliau mengajar subjekkhitabah (pengucapan) dan perbandingan agama. Pada masa ini, beliau telah menerbitkan buku

Khitabah, Tarikh al-Jidal (Sejarah Perdebatan), Diyanat al-Qadimah (Agama-Agama Kuno),Muhadarat fi Nasraniah (Isu-Isu Dalam Agama Nasraniah).

Beliau mengajar sebagai guru sepenuh masa di al-Azhar selama satu tahun dan lapan tahunsebagai guru pelawat apabila beliau berpindah ke Kuliah Undang-Undang, Universiti Kaherah.Beliau mengajar di Kuliah ini bermula pada 1 November 1934 di samping mengajar di al-Azhar.Sejak tahun 1942, beliau menumpukan sepenuhnya di Kuliah Undang-Undang dengan menjadiKetua Jabatan Syariah sehinggalah persaraan beliau pada tahun 1958. Beliau terus mengajar danmenjadi pembimbing di peringkat Ijazah Tinggi sehinggalah beliau meningggal dunia. Beliau jugapernah menjadi Timbalan Dekan bagi Kuliah Undang-Undang selama lima tahun sehingga beliaubersara pada tahun 1958.

Beliau digelar sebagai imam yang menunjukkan kealiman dalam ilmu. Namun menurut Abdul HalimJundi, bahawa gelaran imam bukan sahaja menunjukkan kealiman dalam bdang ilmu atau gelaranyang diberikan oleh kerajaan tetapi pendirian dan keberanian dalam menyatakan kebenaran dalamisu-isu masyarakat. Syeikh Abdul Halim Mahmud mantan syeikh al-Azhar menyebutkan bahawa jikaterdapat masalah dalam Lujnah Fatwa, maka kami akan merujuk kepada Muhammad Abu Zahrah.Beliau mempunyai pendirian yang tegas terutama dalam isu pengharaman riba. Menurutnya,pengharaman riba bagi memelihara kebajikan umat Islam.

Muhammad Abu Zahrah seorang yang prihatin dan pakar dalam ilmu al-Quran dan tafsir. Semasazaman beliau ditegah menulis di akhbar dan majalah dan bertugas di Universiti, beliau mula menulismengenai al-Quran dengan mengarang buku Mukjizat al-Kubra al-Quran. Buku ini merupakanmukadimah dalam beliau mengarang tafsir al-Quran. Namun tafsir ini tidak sempat disempurnakankerana beliau meninggal dunia terlebih dahulu. Sebahagian tafsir beliau ini telah diterbitkan Dar al-

Fikir al-Arabi dalam 10 jilid yang berjudul Zahrah al-Tafasir.

Muhammad Abu Zahrah meninggal dunia pada petang hari Jumaat pada 12 April 1974 diRumahnya di Zaitun, Kaherah ketika berumar 76 tahun. Beliau meninggal dunia ketika memegangpen untuk menulis tafsir al-Quran dalam surah al-Naml, ayat 19 yang bermaksud : Makatersenyumlah Nabi Sulaiman mendengar kata-kata semut itu, dan berdoa dengan berkata:" WahaiTuhanku, ilhamkanlah daku supaya tetap bersyukur akan nikmatMu yang Engkau kurniakan


12/12

kepadaku dan kepada ibu bapaku, dan supaya aku tetap mengerjakan amal soleh yang Engkauredai; dan masukkanlah daku - dengan limpah rahmatMu - dalam kumpulan hamba-hambaMu yangsoleh". (al-Naml, ayat 19)
