A Malaysian educator mentioned that the memorization of Al-Quran during Prophet Muhammad’s S.A.W era was due to the unavailability of book publishing, thus memorization of the Al-Quran was necessary.
However, since Al-Quran has been published as books in this current era, the need to memorize the Al-Quran is deemed as unnecessary by this Malaysian educator. What do you think? Do you agree with this Malaysian Educator?

Rakaman kamera litar tertutup (CCTV) di pejabat Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM) menunjukkan kelibat seorang lelaki yang memanjat pagar sebelum menceroboh masuk ke dalam kawasan premis bersebelahan pusat tahfiz Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah. Ketua Aktivis PPIM, Datuk Nadzim Johan, berkata kelibat lelaki berkenaan dirakam sekitar jam 3.10 pagi oleh sebahagian daripada 16 CCTV di pejabat PPIM. Katanya, suspek lelaki itu dikesan masuk melalui pintu pagar kiri sebelum melalui pekarangan pejabat PPIM dan menuju ke bahagian kanan yang juga bersebelahan dengan pusat tahfiz berkenaan.
“Kita tidak menolak kemungkinan kejadian ini ada kaitan dengan pencerobohan ke pusat tahfiz berkenaan. Kita sudah menyerahkan semua rakaman berkenaan kepada pihak polis untuk siasatan dan tindakan lanjut malah mereka meneliti semua rakaman sejak pagi tadi. Kita tidak tahu motif sebenar pencerobohan lelaki terbabit namun tidak menafikan kemungkinan turut menyasarkan pejabat PPIM,” katanya dalam sidang media sebentar tadi.
Should the government have done it the way that Goh Meng Seng suggested?

“When it was first announced that only Halimah will be qualified for the “Reserved” Presidential Elections (obviously, by now, you know what that “Reserved” means in this Kelong Wayang!), I was having tea with my good friend cum comrade Syafarin Sarif, I told Syafarin Sarif that this is the stupidest thing PAP have done, even though it is well within my expectation. They do not have politicians among them, lest “political leaders”. MPs and Ministers, even the Prime Minister, who do not understand the psyche of Singaporeans aka voters, are not fit to be called “politicians”, lest “political leaders”. You just can’t lead without understanding the people whom you are supposed to lead!
The only way to turn around the situation for PAP as well as Halimah, is to refrain from submitting her nomination papers and declares that she doesn’t want to be a President without Mandate or even disagree with the disqualification of the other two potential contestants! Well, this would have no impact on the reality that they have been disqualified but it would give her enormous political capital, especially among the Malay community as well as those middle ground voters! She should say that she would like the Presidential Elections to be open to ALL other races because she doesn’t want this elections to be seen as Reserved for Halimah Presidency!
This will turn the whole public narrative upside down and imagine that all will be praising her for her courage, integrity and dignity! Whoever wants to contest against her, even Dr Tan Cheng Bock, would have a hard fight because she has captured the Malay votes, PAP support base (there will not be anyone from this group thinking to vote other people!) as well as the swing voters. This SIMPLE declaration will shut all naysayers and prove that SHE CAN BE INDEPENDENT of PAP! The Humility and Dignity display by such simple decision could have made her a very successful ELECTED President, instead of a President born out of a Kelong Wayang!
By now, we know she chose to do otherwise, submitting her nomination papers and become the President who neither have any mandate nor legitimacy granted by the People amidst such controversy created by PAP. This is the reason why I say, I pity her. All sympathy to her for not knowing how to gain voters acceptance by doing the simple right thing, instead she is blinded by the easy low hanging carrots which are actually extremely poisonous to her legacy. Her legacy will be filled with such disgraceful event and I really wonder how she is going to live through this six years term without shame or pain!

“The 2 most vital and fundamental role of the elected Presidency are guardian of the national reserves and ensuring top public appointments undergo due diligence and has no conflict of interest. There are logical and genuine concerns that the newly walkover President may have potential conflict in fulfilling the above function. Until only recently, she is very close to the Government and has little to no track record of internally voicing any dissent against policies before while in Government. These concerns never featured much in public mainstream media prior to nomination day and the public patiently waited for the campaigning to be given the answer.
Had there been a contest, the public would have had the opportunity to hear this critical question of independence of the potential Presidential candidates to fulfil this incredibly important safeguard. Alas, instead of ensuring in the interest of the public, for a contest thus allowing for fair comparison on competency for financial acumen to fulfil one of the 2 vital roles, it seems the committee overrides the interest of the people by disqualifying 2 of the more financially experienced candidates, when they clearly had the option of allowing for it and had done so before in the last Presidential election. Meritocracy demands the best for the job is chosen.
This is sadly now unanswered with a no contest. We are instead focusing away into other credentials of the new President such as HDB living, first woman, tudung-wearing, almost a school dropout, etc., which are commendable but of less priority for the job. The anger of the public are not over baseless sentiments driven by racial biases. How can that be when the contest is reserved for a single race? The public is genuinely concern of the ability for the new President to have the necessary financial competence and independence required. A fair expectation for a patriotic, smart, informed and educated citizenry which should be respected and not be brushed aside as petty complaint and branded as divisive. It is an honest expression of feeling short-changed as well as our love for this country that the restless voice of the public is now raised to be heard.”
