It shows that 70 to 80
% of the Muslims do not like their life to be regulated and controlled by the
Government and consider religion a personal matter between themselves and God.
The ever shrinking pool of Muslim conservatives in Malaysia is showing very
clearly and UMNO and PAS are worried that if they go by themselves they will
lose their election deposits and best to pool their 20% Malays votes with
10% PAS 10% Malay votes and discourage
the other Malays from voting and cheat on the votes to win the rural parliament
seats in PRU 14.
UMNO and PAS are on
their last leg of their miserable lives and the vultures are circling more and
more every day. UMNO and PAS knows it very well and trying to grab as much
wealth before the doom comes for them. MCA, MIC and Gerakan already dead and
vultures are feeding on them already.
0.1% respondents did not know about the RUU 355 that was tabled by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, says Invoke
KUALA LUMPUR: Many Malay-Muslim voters still do not understand the proposed amendments to Shariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act (Act 355), which is also widely known as RUU355.
This was concluded today by Invoke Centre for Policy Initiatives, a think tank run by PKR vice president Rafizi Ramli.
Invoke recently conducted a survey on RUU355 and out of 43,030 respondents, only 12,857 people were well informed of the issue.
In a press conference this morning, Rafizi said that 30,173 or 70.1% respondents did not know about the RUU355 that was tabled by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.
“In conducting our survey, we contacted 1.1 million Malay-Muslim voters randomly using the Interactive Voice Response system and the survey was done for a week.
“From 1.1 million people, 43,030 voters answered the questions while the rest either hung up or did not respond to any of the questions.
“The 43,030 respondents, when they were asked if they knew anything about RUU355, 70.1% of them said no.
“Only 29.9 % (12,857) said they knew about RUU355 and from the 12,857 people, 5,708 agreed that RUU355 is an important issue that will determine their vote in the next general election.
“A total of 3,240 respondents said the Act is not important while 3,909 did not answer,” Rafizi said.
The RUU355 has been debated intensively in and out of the parliament.
Hadi had tabled a motion in the Dewan Rakyat in November last year to seek the approval of the house to table the private member’s bill, but requested that the detailed explanation on the motion be made at the next meeting of the Dewan Rakyat.
In the initial motion tabled in the Dewan Rakyat in April last year, Hadi sought to remove the limitations in Act 355 but without including the death sentence. The current Act provides for three years’ imprisonment, RM5,000 fine and six strokes of caning.
Rafizi also disclosed that 38.0% or 4,890 callers who knew about RUU 355 refused to respond when asked which was more important, economic issues or the RUU355.
The number was higher than those who said RUU355 was more important than economic issues, said the Pandan MP.
“From those who said they knew about RUU355, they were all asked the same question: Which is more important: economic issues or RUU355?”
“A total of 4,890 did not answer it, it is higher than those who felt RUU355 is more important. 4,484 said it is important.
“A total 3,483 people out of 12,857 said economic issues are important instead of RUU355,” Rafizi added.
Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi recently announced that the government would be taking over the PAS-sponsored proposed amendments to the Shariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965.
PAS responded by saying that the party has no qualms about cooperating and giving way for the Barisan Nasional government to table it in Parliament.
Its president, Abdul Hadi Awang, said the party would, however, like to be given the opportunity to look at the draft of the bill first.
The bill is expected to be tabled in the ongoing parliament sitting, and has been objections from BN component parties.
