YOURSAY | ‘Anwar is falling into the trap of trying to be all things to all men.’
Left on its own, the Jawi issue may not have attracted the level of controversy that it now faces.about it, and when he extends it with a digression on questioning of vernacular schools, the non-Malays shouldn't be faulted from feeling suspicious, and it carries with it the apprehension that it may cause the further erosion of the existing character of what is left of the non-Malays.
In almost every sphere where Islam became a part of the administration, did it ever occur to the powers-that-be to ask the non-Malays their opinions or were the sentiments of the non-Malays ever considered? Until Hussein Onn, the country followed a fairly secular system of government but everyone seems to agree that it was Anwar that started the Islamisation process.
Likewise, the people who want to introduce Jawi into the education system are a bit too much, affecting the feelings of the non-Malays as Jawi is useless and of no relevance to them.Jawi is very powerful. It’s being weaponised to divide an already divided nation. Are you part of this grand design, Anwar?
So, please have the cojones to grab the bull by the horns. Jawi as a script is not the issue, compulsion by making Islamic calligraphy a mandatory component of the language syllabus is the issue.Anwar is falling into the trap of trying to be all things to all men. Anwar must remember that the Malay support for Harapan is only 36 percent. But in the last general election, Harapan won a comfortable majority.
Why didn’t Anwar take the opportunity to educate the Malays that the Pallava Sanskrit script was used in the Malay language before the introduction of the Islamic script?
