Questions for YTM Raja Petra Kamarudin

Dear Sir,

I plead with you to provide answers to these questions and publish on your blog, if you are willing, if you are unwilling please at least provide answers to question five, as I believe it will enlighten and provide us with important information about the current situation and the future here in Malaysia.

Question One:
Why does our PM Najib not keep a tight rein on religious extremists? Is he beholden to Saudi Arabia for their help? Pakistan suffered tremendously from domestic and foreign inspired militancy because they rushed to Saudi Arabia for loans and free oil in times of need and Saudi money comes bundled with Saudi propaganda and a license to convert Pakistanis to a more persecutive version of Islam. The Saudi government is engaged in spreading Wahabbism with missionary zeal, effectively under the guise of education, throughout the world. The fact about Wahabbism is that if you are against them, you are against Islam and if you criticize them, you criticize Islam.

Question Two:
Or, was he under duress or undue influence from some nations, thereby giving himself a nonchalant attitude in governing that leads to self-perpetuating chaos in this country? In other words is he trying to sell out the country? We know that United States has aided and abetted secessionist movements in efforts to destabilize countries at odds with Washington’s foreign policy goals. In case if war breaks out in this region plus our own chaos, would it not be strategically and geographically important for the US to break us apart in order to contain China giving the excuse that China could place 50,000 troops here within 12 hours by road via Thailand from Yunnan? It is not a question of possible but want.

Question Three:
I cannot understand this statement from a pragmatic standpoint: “If Christians were allowed to use Allah, Muslims would be confused.” Muslims here can get all kinds of Bibles, proselytization, information, articles and whatnot from the internet, so are we going to ban the internet? Muslims can also attend “financially assisted” church services in Singapore on Sunday, so are we going to ban Malays from traveling to Singapore on Sunday mornings? Why has Allah become such a big issue? Was it because of competition to convert the natives or many Muslims had converted to other faiths around the world? I used to have problems understanding General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics twenty years ago but today I can understand a lot of things better with the help of the internet.

Question Four:
Sir, do you agree if I say the Malays remain weak despite government aid and initiatives to improve their lot because the majority prioritize spiritual development (or the 3R) rather than economic development? We are living in a materialistic world. Our country can only sustain economic development if we are well educated. Very soon the world is going to lose a lot of jobs because we are going to have self-driving cars, robotic soldiers and cops, drone combat vehicles, fusion energy (probably nobody will use crude oil by 2050), 3-D manufacturing, wireless energy transmission, robotic assisted surgery, quantum computers and artificial intelligence, etc. What kind of jobs should we be looking for, particularly the Malays if they are not properly educated?

Question Five:
And sir, the most important question, based on your article “The love and hate of Malaysian politics” you mentioned that “such a situation where the politics of the country is the politics of hate, nothing good can come out of it and the future can only be one of conflict and bloodshed,” what suggestions or advice can you provide us on the methodology or procedure to move away or migrate to other countries when all hell breaks loose? What about those without academic qualification or money? On a lighter note, I believe you can make a lot of money if you start a business exporting Malaysians to different countries for occupations or settlements. Aurangzeb’s 48-year reign is often cited as a “Golden Age” of the Mughal Empire but he practiced a fundamentalist version of Islam, going so far as to outlaw music and performances, killing Sikh gurus, burning down temples and churches etc. If such a rich and powerful Empire could not survive after a 27-years war mainly with the Hindu Maratha Army, I don’t think we stand a chance against collapse if Islamization deepens.

Thank you sir and I wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2015.

Yours sincerely,

Cheong Knooi Cheng (Pen name: 2partysystem)
