‘Let’s have more disasters for unity’s sake’

MP Ariff Sabry ridicules calls for PAS-Umno union in the wake of floods.
ariff sabri pas umno2PETALING JAYA : Raub MP Mohd Ariff Sabri Abdul Aziz has dismissed as shallow thinkers those who call for Malay unity in the wake of the flood disaster.
“If that be the case, let us all pray for our country to be whelmed by more disasters and tribulations so that the Malays will unite,” he writes in his latest blog entry.
He notes that much of the talk about Malay unity revolves around the idea that PAS and Umno should come together as a political union, as if “a unity government of PAS and Umno would lead naturally to Malay unity.”
He says Umno leaders love the idea because it means political salvation for the party.
He observes that Umno’s intentions have been expressed through a wide array of unofficial spokesmen, including former chief justice Abdul Hamid Mohamad, who has been quoted as saying that the Malays must unite to check the advance of the Chinese. “Ah! So the Malays must unite on the principle that other races must be blocked,” he comments.
Commenting on remarks from some PAS leaders that Malays must unite on the basis of a shared ethnicity and religion, Ariff says they overlook the fact that similarities in racial and religious backgrounds have not stopped people from slaughtering one another.
“Ninety percent of the cruelty and killings that Muslims in Arab countries suffer are perpetrated by Arabs who are Muslims,” he says. “Those who shot and bombed more than 100 children in Pakistan were Pakistanis who justified the killings by saying they were following the Prophet’s teachings.”
Ariff also ridicules those who have tried to divine God’s intentions behind the flood disaster, pointing out that the various interpretations conflicted with one another. As his own contribution to the discourse, he quotes Verses 78 to 80 of the fifth chapter of the Quran, which essentially tells of God’s curse upon those who would not rise up against despots.
