Hudud Law

KOTA BARU: Two firebrand politicians – state exco member Datuk Husam Musa and Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin – took potshots at each other on various issues during a no-holds barred forum here last night. Husam and Khairy held a healthy debate over issues ranging from Umno’s arrogance of power to PAS’ plans to implement hudud law.

The forum entitled Malaysian Political Reformation was held at Balai Islam in Lundang here and was moderated by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Associate Prof Dr. Mohd Agus Yusof who reminded the politicians and the floor to not touch on personal issues. Husam fired the first salvo when he said that Umno’s unpopularity in the March general election was a result of Umno’s arrogance of having power. Khairy, in reply, said this arrogance had apparently infected PKR leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who had said in bravado that he would march into Putrajaya on Sept 16 to take up the post as the next Prime Minister.

But it is in my opinion, that the political reformation was not as much a reformation but actually a protest vote by the people to teach Barisan Nasional a lesson for not implementing the promises made in the 2004 general election” Khairy said.

Husam’s subtle insinuations caught Khairy on the hop on several occasions but Khairy maintained his calm and took the “beatings” professionally to the delight of Umno members in the crowd. Khairy launched another attack on Husam when he asked whether hudud law would be implemented if Pakatan Rakyat had taken over the Government on Sept 16. Husam gave an assurance that hudud law would be implemented if they had taken over. Associate Prof Dr. Mohd Agus added fuel to the already hot topic and asked Khairy if he would push for hudud law if he became the Umno Youth chief. Khairy smilingly replied that he would, which resulted in shouts among PAS supporters in the hall. At a press conference later, both men supported more such forums to be held.

Note: The questions that need to be pondered by us will UMNO or Barisan Nasional really implement Hudud? Will the MCA and the MIC easily accept to the idea of implementing Hudud in Malaysia? But the most important question; is it significant to implement Hudud?
