Tujuan lainnya ialah untuk mendalami dan memahami bentuk tantangan dakwah dan politik yang dihadapi oleh Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz serta untuk mengetahui apa saja perubahan dan sumbangan selama pemerintahan Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan teknik library research. Teknik pengambilan data, penulis melakukan wawancara langsung dengan Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz dan Ketua Instistusi Pemikiran Tuan Guru (IPTG) Encik Abdul Ghani. Hasil penelitian ini, menunjukkan model integrasi dakwah dan politik dalam pemikiran dan aktifitas Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz teruji berkesan. Pemikirannya yang tidak lepas dari Islam, unik dan di akui dunia.

  • PAS Veering Away from Islamic Agenda, Nasharudin Tells Berita Minggu the Malaysian Insider December 18, 2011 by Shazwan Mustafa Kamal
    PAS veering away from Islamic agenda, Nasharudin tells Berita Minggu The Malaysian Insider December 18, 2011 By Shazwan Mustafa Kamal KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 18 — As speculation continues to build over his possible departure from PAS, an embattled Nasharudin Mat Isa has broken his silence and accused the party of deviating from its Islamic principles and agenda. In an exclusive interview with the weekend edition of Berita Harian, Berita Minggu, Nasharudin said that the PAS leadership should not be too preoccupied with the party’s political goals while abandoning its Islamic ones. He (picture) lamented that PAS was no longer seen as having a “consistent” Islamic image and that it could not afford to chop and change “terminologies” to suit its political direction. “As an Islamic organisation, PAS has to be consistent with an Islamic face. Do not abandon the party’s principles based on Al-Quran and Hadith over the issue of ‘maqasid’ (goals) and ‘maslahah’ (problems). “Politics is coloured by perception and this has to be dealt with carefully. The general perception right now is that PAS is ‘loose’ in several aspects, which is dangerous,” he said. The Bachok MP, who was PAS deputy president until he was defeated by his successor Mohamad Sabu recently, said that PAS could not afford to become too “flexible” to the point where the rights of Islam and the Malay community are disregarded. He echoed the controversial views of Datuk Dr Hasan Ali, who is under fire for re-igniting talk of a PAS-Umno union. “Our focus should be unity because that is the main necessity.

    Jebat: Malaysian Journal of History, Politics & Strategic Studies, Vol. 39 (1) (July 2012): 1-23 @ School of History, Politics & Strategic Studies, UKM; ISSN 2180-0251 (electronic), 0126-5644 (paper) ZAWIYAH Mohd Zain MOHAMMAD AGUS Yusoff Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia KETIDAKAKURAN SIVIL DAN KESANNYA KE ATAS PENDEMOKRASIAN DI ERA ABDULLAH BADAWI CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE AND ITS IMPACT ON DEMOCRATIZATION DURING ABDULLAH BADAWI’S ERA Selepas Abdullah Badawi dilantik sebagai Perdana Menteri Malaysia pada tahun 2003, beliau berjanji melakukan perubahan dalam bidang pentadbiran dan politik. Namun, selepas empat tahun pemerintahannya, janji tersebut gagal ditunaikan menyebabkan rakyat tidak berpuas hati. Tujuan artikel ini ialah membincangkan tentang ketidakakuran sivil di era Abdullah Badawi dan kesannya ke atas pilihan raya dan juga pendemokrasian. Artikel ini berhujah ketidakakuran sivil berlaku disebabkan empat faktor utama, iaitu kegagalan menunaikan janji untuk melakukan perubahan, masalah ekonomi, rasuah dalam kerajaan dan juga kegagalan kerajaan menangani isu-isu perkauman. Akibatnya Barisan Nasional telah gagal untuk memperoleh dua pertiga majoriti bagi kerusi parlimen pada pilihan raya umum 2008 dan juga dalam masa yang sama tewas lima negeri kepada pembangkang. Kedua, walaupun ketidakakuran sivil tidak berjaya membawa kepada pertukaran kerajaan namun, ia telah melahirkan demokrasi siber dan mewujudkan kesedaran di kalangan masyarakat Malaysia untuk mencabar kerajaan pimpinan Abdullah Badawi. Katakunci: ketidakakuran sivil, pendemokrasian, Abdullah Badawi, pilihan raya, siber demokrasi. Upon being elected as Prime Minister in 2003, Abdullah Badawi promised to make changes in the political and administrative aspects. However, four years into his leadership, the promise remained unfulfilled and this led to the dissatisfaction among the people. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the emergence of civil disobedience during Abdullah Badawi’s era and its impact upon the election and democratization process.

  • Malaysia 2015 International Religious Freedom Report
    MALAYSIA 2015 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution declares that “Islam is the religion of the Federation; but other religions may be practiced in peace and harmony.” State and federal governments have the power to “control or restrict the propagation of any religious doctrine or belief among persons professing the religion of Islam.” The government, which regulates Islamic religious affairs, promotes Sunni Islam above all other religious groups. Other forms of Islam are illegal and subject to action by religious authorities. The government maintains a parallel legal system, with certain civil matters for Muslims covered by sharia. The relationship between sharia and civil law remains unresolved in the legal system, although civil courts generally refrain from making judgments contradicting sharia courts when the jurisdictions intersect, in particular with family law cases that involve both Muslims and non- Muslims. The government continued to bar Muslims from converting to another religion and imposed fines, detentions, and canings on those classified under the law as Muslim who contravene sharia codes. Christians continued to face difficulty in using the word “Allah” to denote God. In April the government amended the sedition laws; changes included the criminalization of speech that “promotes ill will, hostility or hatred on the grounds of religion.” Even before the amendment, however, sedition laws had been used against those deemed to be insulting Islam, with one opposition politician sentenced to 16 months in prison for a social media posting. In April the government announced it would support states seeking to implement Islamic penal law (hudud). Prime Minister Najib Razak gave several speeches during the year suggesting Malaysia would not accept “liberal” definitions of human rights that stray from the tenets of Islam.

Having had the privilege of serving the country as a Royal Malaysian Air Force fighter pilot, businessman and politician, it gives me great pride to now be chosen to represent Malaysia at the highest level of its diplomatic relations with the United States.

The project is funded by the Deutsche For- schungsgemeinschaft and supervised by Thomas Heberer. The central topic of interest is, as the title of the project suggests, the influence exerted on the political reform process by political discourse. The papers published in this series address the public political discussion at the national as well as the transnational, regional level. Accord- ingly, the papers display a variety of discourses that have emerged in different countries and centre round different political issues. Contributions from authors of the region are particu- larly welcome, because they reflect an authentic view of the political discussion within the local public. By integrating and encouraging the local voices, the project team intends to compile a collection of papers that document some important debates and states of the re- search process.
