MY HONEST OPINION ON THE ALCOHOL BAN - MALAYSIAKINI
1. I honestly think that Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim did the right move by not allowing a blanket ban on the sale of alcohol in Selangor. I also honestly think that if any Barisan Nasional leader were to go against his decision they should be labelled as hypocrites because during their rulling in Selangor there was never such ban.
2. We should be very realistic here. While it is true that we are living in a muslim country we must also think about the non-muslims that are living here. In schools muslim children are being taught about the religion, however this knowledge is also being taught at home and sometimes during religious classes outside school. It is no excuse for muslims today to not know that they are not allowed to drink alcohol.
3. Why an alcohol ban in the first place? Is it done to avoid muslims from drinking? Well let me tell you something, If a person wants to drink and finds out that the place doesn't sell alcohol they will go around until they find it. No matter how much ban implement, a person usually still get what they want. We take for example drugs, Can anyone tell me how easy it is for people to get drugs although they are being ban everywhere?
4. If a muslim wants to drink, It would reflect a bad image on us but it is the person's choice and we cannot do anything but to educate the person about the sins of drinking alcohol in Islam. At the end of the day it is between them and god and it is unfair for us to judge because obviously we are not god. How can an alcohol ban prevent a muslim from drinking? Am i right to say because there is a ban they will not drink but once they go to Australia to study or other states they will drink? Then what is the difference actually?
5. When it comes to religion most of the issues are related with each individual faith. If a person has a weak faith with the religion we can only educate them but we cannot ban all the things the person can or cannot do as it makes no difference to them. Their faith will still remain weak but hopefully that can be changed with some education. I honestly think that MP Zulkifli Noordin can some get out of line when it comes to religious issue and protecting the usage of Bahasa Melayu in Math and Science.
6. I still remembered clearly when he compared us to phillipines and say that their country is english speaking but they still export maid. I think it is very silly for him to say that as he should compare us to our neighbour Singapore. They are not exporting maids and to me they are doing very well compared to us in many sectors.
7. Sometimes in life we have to be realistic when it comes to tackling religious issue. I sometimes wonder how people can be so unrealistic at times. This saddens me alot to think that there is still such mentality. We have to get rid of that mentality in order for us to progress together as nation.
With progress, Change is inevitable.
