NIK AZIZ HALANG PAS SERTAI SEMULA BN (Bernama 30/07/1999) 30 JUL 1999 Razaleigh-PAS NIK AZIZ HALANG PAS SERTAI SEMULA BN MACHANG, 30 Julai (Bernama) -- PAS pernah bersetuju menyertai semula Barisan Nasional bersama-sama tiga lagi parti pembangkang tetapi dibantah oleh Mursyidul Amnya Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, demikian menurut Pengerusi Badan Perhubungan Umno Kelantan Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah. "Sebenarnya PAS ketika berada dalam Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah bersama Parti Melayu Semangat 46, Berjasa dan Hamim pernah mencapai kata sepakat untuk menyertai semula BN bagi penyatuan Melayu dan Islam," katanya. Tengku Razaleigh, yang ketika itu Presiden Semangat 46, berkata ikhtiar beliau itu bersama Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad tidak terlaksana kerana Nik Aziz "yang tidak mengetahui tujuan murni itu, mengecamnya tanpa usul periksa". "(Presiden PAS, Datuk) Fadzil Nor, untuk menjaga hati Nik Aziz, barangkali terpaksa membatalkan hasrat itu," katanya kepada pemberita selepas menerima borang permohonan menyertai Umno daripada 30 bekas anggota PAS di Kampung Pangkal Cuit di sini malam tadi. Tengku Razaleigh berkata PAS tidak boleh menafikan perkara itu kerana "rekod pakatan itu" masih dalam simpanannya. Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah merupakan satu pakatan tidak rasmi yang dibentuk bagi menentang BN pada pilihan raya umum 1990. Pada tahun itu, ia berjaya merampas pemerintahan negeri Kelantan daripada BN. Bagaimanapun, gabungan itu "terkubur" selepas Semangat 46 dibubarkan pada 1996. PAS kini membentuk pula pakatan dengan DAP, Parti Rakyat Malaysia dan Parti Keadilan Nasional untuk menghadapi pada pilihan raya umum akan datang. Tengku Razaleigh berkata beliau yakin gabungan itu tidak dapat menewaskan BN kerana ia tidak mendapat sokongan rakyat. Berdasarkan analisis terbaru oleh Umno, gabungan parti pembangkang itu hanya mendapat sokongan yang sedikit di Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan dan Terengganu, katanya. -- BERNAMA WM MAI.

  • Tentangan Pas Tak Masuk Akal, Kata Tengku Razaleigh
    17 MAY 1996 Razaleigh-PAS TENTANGAN PAS TAK MASUK AKAL, KATA TENGKU RAZALEIGH KOTA BAHARU, 17 Mei (Bernama) -- Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah berkata beliau tidak faham mengapa PAS menentang usaha Parti Melayu Semangat 46 (S46) untuk bekerjasama dengan Umno sedangkan Islam menyeru kepada perpaduan. "Apa salahnya kita hendak mencari kawan seberapa ramai yang boleh...dulu dia tak halangpun kita berkawan dengan DAP dan PBS (Parti Bersatu Sabah)," katanya kepada pemberita di kediamannya di sini hari ini sejurus tiba dari Kuala Lumpur. Presiden S46 itu pulang ke Kelantan untuk bertemu anggota-anggota parti setelah akhbar-akhbar melaporkan minggu lepas mengenai hasrat S46 bekerjasama dengan Umno dan kemungkinan beliau kembali ke pangkuan Umno demi perpaduan orang Melayu. PAS telah mengkritik langkah S46 itu sehingga menjejaskan hubungan kedua-dua parti yang menjadi rakan dalam Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah yang memerintah Kelantan sejak 1990. Tengku Razaleigh berkata beliau telah memaklumkan kepada pimpinan PAS pusat sebaik sahaja selesai pilihan raya umum tahun lepas mengenai kesediaan Umno untuk berjumpa dengan Angkatan. Katanya, pimpinan PAS bersetuju supaya beliau juga bercakap bagi pihak PAS untuk mencari perpaduan demi kebaikan orang Melayu. Perkara itulah yang dibawanya dalam pertemuan dengan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad, yang juga Presiden Umno, kata Tengku Razaleigh. Mereka bertemu dua kali dalam masa dua bulan lepas. Beliau berkata parti-parti dalam Angkatan sepatutnya mengambil peluang daripada perkembangan itu untuk meluaskan pakatan di kalangan orang Melayu sedangkan dulu Umno tidak mahu berunding dengan mereka. "Kenapa pula nak marah-marah kepada kita yang hendak mencari perpaduan sehingga nak bunuh perpaduan ini...tak terima akal," katanya. Mengenai kenyataan Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat bahawa PAS hanya akan bekerjasama dengan S46 Kelantan dan menganggap S46 pusat telah berkubur kerana para pemimpinnya hendak menyertai Umno, Tengku Razaleigh berkata Nik Aziz perlu melihat kepada realiti.

  • Title Establishing an Islamic State : Ideals and Realities in the State of Kelantan, Malaysia (<Special Issue>Islam In
    Establishing an Islamic State : Ideals and Realities in the State Title of Kelantan, Malaysia (<Special Issue>Islam in Southeast Asia) Author(s) Muhammad Syukri Salleh Citation 東南アジア研究 (1999), 37(2): 235-256 Issue Date 1999-09 URL http://hdl.handle.net/2433/56717 Right Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 37, No.2, September 1999 Establishing an Islamic State: Ideals and Realities in the State of Kelantan, Malaysia MUHAMMAD SYUKRI SALLEH* Abstract This paper observes an experience in establishing an Islamic State in the State of Kelantan, Malaysia, undertaken by the Malaysian Pan-Islamic Party (PAS) -led government. From the outset of its establishment, PAS holds to the ideals that political and governing power, hence an Islamic State, is indeed an important means in executing a complete law of Allah. Without political power, PAS believes, not only an establishment of an Islamic State is impossible, but the execution of the laws of Allah that binds the complete Islamic way of life would also be unachievable. In the State of Kelantan, the ideal of having the governing and political power has already been accomplished. But this is inadequate. The PAS-led government is facing with two unfavourable realities. Firstly, the realities that are related to external factors, from outside the Party, and secondly to internal factors, from within the Party and the PAS-led government themselves. In the former, one witness the role of the Federal Barisan Nasional government, especially through its Federal Development Department established in the State, in interrupting the endeavours undertaken by the PAS-led government.

  • THE RISE and FALL of S46 (Bernama 06/10/1996)
    06 OCT 1996 S46-Events THE RISE AND FALL OF S46 By: Ali Mamat KOTA BAHARU, Oct 6 (Bernama) -- Parti Melayu Semangat 46 occupied a place in Malaysian politics for eight colourful years, going through many ups and downs. At the onset of its formation, the Umno splinter party's performance was most encouraging, especially in Malay-majority states. However, the 1995 general election results showed that the party was not only further from achieving the objective of its struggles, but support from Malays who were once strongly backing the party was also eroding as an increasing number of S46 members returned to Umno. Apart from that, S46's former allies began to distance themselves from the party, beginning with its partners in Gagasan Rakyat including the Democratic Action Party (DAP), Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) and Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM). And the latest to leave the party led by former Finance Minister Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah were its partners in Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah (APU) -- PAS, Berjasa and Hamim -- who had been in power in Kelantan since 1990. Under such circumstances, Tengku Razaleigh was left with no choice in his pursuit of his struggle but to dissolve S46 and take his followers to Umno en bloc. S46 held a special assembly today to obtain the mandate of at least two-thirds of its members before the party is dissolved. Following is a summary in chronological order of S46's formation and events surrounding the party including its cooperation with opposition parties, break up with PAS and holding of the Malay Unity rally last Thursday which was attended by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

  • Malaysia: the 2020 Putsch for Malay Islam Supremacy’
    Jurnal Pengajian Melayu - JOMAS, Jilid 32(1), 2021: 118-137 KUPASAN ARTIKEL ‘MALAYSIA: THE 2020 PUTSCH FOR MALAY ISLAM SUPREMACY’ (CRITICAL APPRAISAL ON MALAYSIA: THE 2020 PUTSCH FOR MALAY ISLAM SUPREMACY’) James Chin, The Round Table, (2020), Vol. 109, No. 3, 288–297 https://doi.org/10.1080/00358533.2020.1760495 Asmady Idris [email protected] Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia Asri Salleh [email protected] Universiti Teknologi Mara, Cawangan Sabah, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia Mohd Rizal Mohd Yaakop [email protected] Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi Malaysia Received: 11 Februari 2020; Accepted: 8 April 2021 Abstract The 2018 General Election (PRU) marked a significant point in the history of Malaysian politics when the major opposition bloc Pakatan Harapan (PH) ended Barisan Nasional (BN) rule of 60 years since gaining independence in 1957. However, the PH government, led by ex-premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, only lasted 22 months. Accordingly, the sudden collapse of the PH government drew many to offer their respective analyses. James Chin (2020) wrote one of them titled ‘Malaysia: The 2020 Putsch for Malay Islam Supremacy’. He argued that, amongst the many reasons attributable to its sudden collapse, one stood out – the position of Islam and Malay supremacy in Malaysia. Since Malaysia is predominantly a Malay-Muslim country, such a profound claim warrants a thorough response. Thus, this study’s objective is to analyse and offer critiques on Chin’s work based on the three main factors, namely the concept of Malay supremacy, unreadiness of Malays to share power with non-Malays and the position of non-Malays e ISSN 2735 - 1904 https://doi.org/10.22452/JOMAS.vol32no1.8 118 Jurnal Pengajian Melayu - JOMAS, Jilid 32(1), 2021: 118-137 in the top government positions.

PAS telah menjalinkan kerjasama politik sebanyak lima kali dengan pelbagai parti bermula pada tahun 1974–2016. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji respons ahli PAS terhadap pilihan raya dan kerjasama politik yang disertai oleh PAS. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan juga kuantitatif. Bagi pemerolehan data kualitatif, pengkaji menggunakan dokumen-dokumen rasmi PAS seperti teks-teks ucapan dasar dalam mesyuarat agung (muktamar) tahunan dan khas PAS, dokumen rasmi PAS dan manifesto PAS. Pengumpulan data kuantitatif pula adalah melalui survei menggunakan borang soal selidik yang dilaksanakan ketika perhimpunan Mesyuarat Agung (Muktamar) Tahunan PAS ke-63 (2017). Kajian ini melibatkan 253 responden yang terdiri daripada ahli PAS sahaja. Analisis data menunjukkan bahawa majoriti responden, iaitu lebih 90 peratus bersetuju PAS menyertai pilihan raya sebagai alat untuk mencapai tujuan, matlamat dan perlembagaan parti. Bagi kerjasama politik atau tahaluf siyasi pula majoriti responden, iaitu lebih 90 peratus merasakan ia sebagai satu keperluan untuk merealisasikan cita-cita Islam. Hasil kajian ini memberi gambaran umum dengan bukti empirikal bahawa respons ahli PAS terhadap pilihan raya dan juga kerjasama politik adalah seiring dengan ideologi perjuangan PAS.

The above assumption, and its many consequent analyses of a rising, perhaps even threatening, ‘political Islam’ seemed justified, if belatedly, by the results of the November 1999 general election.

  • Parti Baharu Dr M Akan Alami Nasib Semangat 46? Free Malaysia Today Julai 14, 2016 Faiz Zainudin
    Parti baharu Dr M akan alami nasib Semangat 46? Free Malaysia Today Julai 14, 2016 Faiz Zainudin Kegagalan mengemudi parti baharu boleh membuka ruang kepada Najib memujuk bekas ahli kembali ke pangkuan Umno. PETALING JAYA: Kemungkinan parti baharu akan ditubuhkan Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad dan beberapa bekas pemimpin Umno boleh memberi kesan kepada Barisan Nasional (BN), tetapi ia mungkin juga mengulangi sejarah Semangat 46 yang akhirnya terkubur. Penganalisis politik Profesor Madya Dr Awang Azman Awang Pawi berkata sebarang kegagalan kepimpinan parti itu mungkin menyebabkan ia ditimpa nasib sama dialami Parti Melayu Semangat 46 pimpinan Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, yang pernah menggegarkan politik negara pada 1988. “Saya jangka ia akan bekerjsama dengan blok pembangkang sebagaimana yang pernah Semangat 46 lakukan melalui Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah dan akan memberikan kesan kepada Umno pada satu atau dua pilihan raya akan datang,” katanya kepada FMT. Razaleigh menubuhkan Semangat 46 pada 1988, selepas perpecahan dalaman Umno susulan pertandingan jawatan presiden yang dimenang tipis Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad ketika itu. Semangat 46 yang turut disokong Datuk Seri Rais Yatim dan Datuk Ibrahim Ali, sebahagian daripada “Team B” Umno pimpinan Razaleigh, kemudiannya menjalinkan kerjasama dengan PAS dan beberapa parti kecil lain, sehingga membawa kepada kejayaan PAS menjatuhkan pemerintahan Umno di Kelantan pada pilihan raya umum 1990. Parti itu bagaimanapun dibubarkan pada 1996 selepas Razaleigh menyertai semula Umno. Sebelum ini, bekas naib ketua Umno Batu Kawan, Datuk Seri Khairuddin Abu Hassan, membayangkan parti baharu ditubuhkan diterajui Dr Mahathir yang akan bekerjasama dengan Pakatan Harapan untuk menjatuhkan BN. Awnag berkata kelangsungan parti baharu itu bergantung kepada kepimpinan Dr Mahathir dan bekas pemimpin Umno lain seperti Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

  • From Plural Society to Bangsa Malaysia: Ethnicity and Nationalism in the Politics of Nation-Building in Malaysia
    FROM PLURAL SOCIETY TO BANGSA MALAYSIA: ETHNICITY AND NATIONALISM IN THE POLITICS OF NATION-BUILDING IN MALAYSIA Mohamed Mustafa Bin Ishak Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds Department of Sociology and Social Policy & Department of Politics July 1999 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. i From plural society to Ban gsa Malaysia: Ethnicity and nationalism in the politics of nation-building in Malaysia Doctor of Philosophy July 1999 ABSTRACT The question of nation-building has always been a central issue in Malaysian politics. Whilst the country has been able to sustain a relatively stable politics since the 1969 tragedy, and hence spawn a rapid economic development (at least until the 1997 Asian economic crisis), the project of nation-building remained a basic national agenda yet to be fully resolved. This study investigates the delicate process of nation-building in Malaysia in the post 1970s, especially in the context of the vision of constructing the Bangsa Malaysia or 'a united Malaysian nation' enshrined in Mahathir's Vision 2020 project which was introduced in 1991. The aim of the study is firstly, to examine the underlying socio-political parameters that shaped and influenced the politics of nation-building in the country, and secondly, to explore the viability of the project of Bangsa Malaysia in the context of the daunting challenges involved in the process of nation-building. Drawing from a range of theoretical frameworks as well as from both primary and secondary data, the study contends that, based on the Malaysian experience, the potent interplay between the forces of ethnicity and nationalism constitute the crux of the problems in the politics of nation-building in Malaysia.

  • RENTETAN PENUBUHAN DAN PEMBUBARAN S46 (Bernama 06
    06 OCT 1996 S46-Rentetan RENTETAN PENUBUHAN DAN PEMBUBARAN S46 Oleh: Ali Mamat KOTA BAHARU, 6 Okt (Bernama) -- Parti Melayu Semangat 46 mewarnai persada politik tanah air selama lapan tahun dan sepanjang tempoh itu ia melalui liku-liku perjalanan yang penuh ranjau dan duri. Pada awal penubuhannya prestasi parti serpihan Umno itu kelihatan agak memberansangkan, terutama di negeri-negeri yang majoriti pengundinya Melayu. Bagaimanapun, keputusan pilihan raya umum 1995 menampakkan ia bukan sahaja semakin jauh daripada mencapai matlamat perjuangan, bahkan sokongan orang Melayu yang dulu begitu ghairah ditunjukkan kepadanya terus bertambah luntur kerana semakin ramai anggota S46 kembali ke pangkuan Umno. Di samping itu, satu demi satu rakan kerjasamanya telah meninggalkannya, bermula dengan rakan-rakan gabungannya dalam Gagasan Rakyat termasuk DAP, PRM dan PBS. Dan yang terbaru meninggalkan parti yang diterajui bekas Menteri Kewangan Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah itu ialah rakan gabungannya dalam Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah (APU) - Pas, Berjasa dan Hamim - yang sejak 1990 berkongsi kuasa memerintah negeri Kelantan. Dalam keadaan demikian, Tengku Razaleigh tidak mempunyai pilihan lain bagi meneruskan kesinambungan perjuangannya melainkan membubarkan parti itu dan membawa pengikut-pengikutnya kembali ke pangkuan Umno secara beramai-ramai. Sehubungan itu, satu perhimpunan agung khas parti diadakan hari ini bagi mendapatkan mandat sekurang-kurangnya dua pertiga anggota sebelum parti itu boleh dibubar. Berikut ialah rentetan sejarah kelahiran S46, permuafakatannya dengan parti-parti pembangkang, perpecahannya dengan Pas dan penganjuran Perhimpunan Penyatuan Melayu yang dihadiri Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad di sini Khamis lepas. Perhimpunan yang disertai ribuan anggota Umno dan S46 itu dianggap sebagai pembuka tirai ke arah pembubaran S46; * 1987 -- Pada Perhimpunan Agung Umno tahun itu Tengku Razaleigh gagal dalam usahanya menewaskan Dr Mahathir dan seterusnya merebut jawatan presiden parti.
