What Will Be, Will Be....

I don't intend to join in the masses of criticism of the recent general elections. Some parties have targeted their guns on the Election Commission, claiming that the election was rigged and so on and so forth. Rumours have been flying around about some people not satisfied with the result and wanted to create unrest. I suppose, there is a another perspective that people should consider. Put trust in Allah. He has planned for all this to happen even before there's Time or a universe. If there were really wrongdoings, then those who had wronged then they will receive the punishment in the hereafter.

Of course, Islam taught us to take action if we see something wrong but in this case, in order to respect the people's wishes, then just let things be as it is. Go back to the drawing board, learn about yourselves and where things went wrong. There is no entity which is perfect except Allah. Even the Prophet Muhammad encountered defeat and tribulation during his time, Uhud War being one example. But the Muslims at that time learnt their lessons and they went on to capture Mecca a few years after that.

I'm not saying that PAS is the worst thing to befell Malaysia but I do believe they are important to the development of Malaysia. I think they are the most misunderstood bunch of people in the country and rightly so, people are afraid of things they don't understand. Nevertheless, if I can say anything to their leaders now, I would say,"Accept the punches like a man, and learn ways to avoid new incoming ones". Look at the new PM as an example. He was put into cold storage once for a couple of years but he took it like a man. I'm sure he saw it as a test from Allah and just struggled on ahead. It is people like these who turned out to be great leaders. Those who suffered and knew the meaning of struggle. There is one such guy sitting inside a cell inside Sungai Buloh prison. I wonder if he would turn out to be among the great ones one day too.

BN obtaines resounding victory

Much has been said and written. In the end, it is up to the people to decide. And the majority has decided. BN is returned as the winning coalition and will form the national government and pending the recounting process that is currently going on, will also form all state governments. The Islamic party in Terengganu also lost and twice in 5 years, there is change of government in the state. I am confident Allah wants this to happen and so it did. There is no reason to deny or say bad things or speculate. I hope the government will work to provide the best for the people and we will all work together to make the nation a better place for us and our children.
