APAKAH MASIH ADA MASA HADAPAN BUAT PARTI KERAMAT INI?
Sedikit catatan perkongsian.
Saya masih ingat lagi bagaimana saya bergelut dengan diri sendiri ketika mahu membuat keputusan yang besar dalam hidup saya, iaitu menyertai politik dan menyertai parti Bersatu.
Saya menyoal banyak perkara. Adakah saya sesuai menjadi seorang ahli politik? Adakah saya sanggup melondehkan jubah akademia saya dan turun bergulat di bawah menghadapi pelbagai tikam belakang, tawar-menawar, caci-maki dalam kerancuan dunia politik yang lebih menjanjikan kekhilafan berbanding kebenaran?
Apa yang menyebabkan saya didorong untuk menyertai politik dan Bersatu adalah suasana politik tanah air yang dilanda kemelut yang kronik waktu itu.
Tatkala dunia mengenali Malaysia kerana salah guna kuasa dan penyelewengan perbendaharaan negara oleh sesetengah individu, negara bagaikan memanggil-manggil warganya yang sedar untuk bersama merubah keadaan tersebut.
Sebagai warga akademia yang dididik untuk berdiri di atas fakta, idealisme dan kejituan moral, saya merasakan telah sampai waktunya untuk saya mula menterjemahkan segala teori dan idealisme yang sering dimuntahkan ke minda para penuntut lewat kuliah-kuliah ke dalam realiti.
Dilema yang menguliti jiwa menemui penawarnya apabila saya bertemu dengan Tun Dr Mahathir, dan seterusnya saya bertemu pula dengan Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. Kedua-dua tokoh ini mempunyai tempat yang istimewa di dalam hati saya sehingga kini.
Saya merupakan moderator pertama forum Tun (yang bukan sebagai ahli UMNO lagi) di depan khalayak awam di Pasir Gudang Johor.
Setelah itu, saya sering diundang untuk menjadi moderator forum-forum Tun yang dianjurkan oleh pelbagai pihak sekitar 2016-2017. Bercakap depan-depan dengan Tun adalah momen yang paling saya tak boleh lupa. Saya masih ingat pesan Tun waktu itu,
“Kita kena selamatkan negara Malaysia dari kleptokrat. Dulu Malaysia dikenali dunia kerana kemajuannya dan kehebatannya, kini dikenali kerana rasuah.
Di samping itu kita sebagai orang Melayu wajib menyelamatkan survival orang Melayu. Apa akan jadi dengan masa depan orang Melayu jika budaya rasuah, salah guna kuasa dan politik wang ini menjadi normal tanpa ada langsung orang yang bersuara menentangnya?”
Jelas di wajah Tun yang di senja usia itu keresahan dan kegelisahan memikirkan nasib politik orang Melayu.
Selain itu, saya tak boleh lupa pesan Tan Sri ketika saya bertemu dengan beliau (lama dulu, sebelum PRU14). Saya juga merasa bersyukur kerana menjadi moderator pertama forum awam beliau di Johor Bahru sejurus beliau dibuang dari UMNO.
Setahun selepas peristiwa tersebut, saya telah mengambil keputusan untuk menyertai Bersatu, dan telah diberikan peluang untuk bertemu dengan Tan Sri. Antara kata-kata Tan Sri yang begitu terkesan di dalam jiwa saya;
“Kita perlukan wajah ahli politik baru untuk membentuk budaya politik yang baharu. Kita perlu wujudkan budaya baharu politik Bersatu.”
Kemudian saya cermati satu persatu tentang penubuhan Bersatu. Bersatu meletakkan batu asas yang sangat kukuh semasa ditubuhkan.
Selain menegakkan Islam, mempertahan kedudukan bumiputera dan bahasa, menjunjung demokrasi, Bersatu berikrar mahu ‘memerangi rasuah dan salah guna kuasa untuk mewujudkan amalan tadbir urus yang baik dan pemerintahan yang bersih, beramanah dan berintegriti.’
Rujuk di laman web Bersatu, Prinsip-prinsip Perjuangan Bersatu: https://www.pribumibersatu.org.my/prinsip.php
Maka berbondong-bondonglah orang menyertai Bersatu. Dari hujung Wang Kelian sampailah luar negara, orang meletakkan harapan yang tinggi kepada Bersatu sebagai ‘fresh start’ budaya politik yang baru.
Semua orang tahu dan sedar bagaimana kerosakan sistem yang telah berlaku sekian lama, skandal-skandal besar dan kes-kes pecah amanah yang luar biasa, segalanya perlahan-lahan terdedah.
Tidak usah pergi jauh, di dalam pendidikan sendiri lihatlah kes projek solar sekolah luar bandar Sarawak yang sudah mula dibicarakan. Perhatikanlah bagaimana pertelingkahan sesama sendiri berlaku oleh watak-watak yang mahu menyelamatkan diri dari didakwa.
Sayang sekali perbicaraan kes itu tidak dapat diselesaikan sebelum PH jatuh. Hari ini, watak yang terlibat secara langsung dengan projek tenaga solar tersebut mendapat jawatan sebagai pengerusi GLC (yang juga berkaitan dengan ‘tenaga’).
Sekiranya ada agamawan pernah berkata, lantiklah menteri-menteri kabinet yang bersih agar menjadi hujah yang kuat kepada kerajaan yang tertubuh,
sekarang bagaimana pula dengan perlantikan watak-watak begini dalam GLC-GLC? Adakah ada hujah agama lain yang perlu disandang pula untuk menjustifikasikan tindakan ini? Jika ada, saya teringin membacanya.
Benar. Bersatu adalah parti yang sangat muda. Tetapi penubuhan Bersatu sangat jelas tujuan dan asasnya. Tentu kita bukanlah parti yang sempurna, parti yang juga punyai kelemahan, tetapi sedikitpun kita tidak pernah tergelincir dari tujuan asal penubuhan parti keramat ini.
Dukung demokrasi, pertahan agama, perkukuh bangsa, dan yang paling penting, ikrar kita untuk terus lawan rasuah, lawan salah guna kuasa dan bina budaya tadbir urus yang baharu, yang berintegriti.
Sekarang, apa yang perlu kita jawab kepada diri kita sendiri apabila budaya ini kembali bermaharajalela di dalam negara kita, di depan mata kita?
Tidakkah terdetik rasa gelisah melihat watak-watak yang kita perangi tindakan mereka dahulu kini kembali mendominasi tanpa sedikitpun rasa malu dan bersalah?
Mereka inilah yang merupakan Raison d'etre (sebab kewujudan) Bersatu. Bersatu diwujudkan untuk menggantikan mereka, untuk memberikan alternatif kepada politik lama, politik korupsi kepada politik baru yang pernah diilhamkan nama sebagai budaya Bersatu.
Di atas niat murni ini jugalah saya menyertai Bersatu dan menceburkan diri ke dalam politik.
Saya perlu ucapkan terima kasih kepada ahli MPT Bersatu, Dato Dr Rais Husin yang telah Berjaya menyempurnakan penyertaan saya ke dalam parti yang saya cintai ini. Mac 2018 merupakan tarikh keramat dalam hidup saya apabila saya menyertai Bersatu secara rasmi.
Sejujurnya, saya masih kabur melihat arah tuju perjalanan parti ini dikala ini. Ketika kita (Bersatu) menjadi komponen penting dalam PH dahulu. Identiti kita jelas, orang Melayu berlindung di rumah Bersatu dalam PH sementara kaum lain boleh berlindung di rumah lain dan kita cuba hidup seadil yang mungkin (walaupun kadangkala kita tergigit lidah).
Pergeseran dalaman adalah lumrah politik, persoalannya ialah bagaimanakah kita menguruskan konflik dan perbezaan.
Apabila Bersatu dibawa keluar dan menyertai PN lewat hujung Februari yang lalu, saya mula bertanya, masih relevan lagikah identiti yang Bersatu bawa, iaitu untuk menjadi parti alternatif orang Melayu dan menggantikan UMNO? Masih terpakaikah lagi idealisme yang diperjuangkan selama ini?
Jika Bersatu akhirnya hanya mengikut arus yang sama, mula bercampur dengan mereka yang membawa budaya politik yang dulu kita berikrar untuk perangi, apologetik dan merasa tak bersalah pula bersama dengan mereka yang pernah kita kalahkan kerana kerakusan wang dan kuasa yang jelas berlaku di depan mata, di manakah lagi rasionalnya keperluan parti kita untuk orang Melayu?
Akhirnya, orang Melayu, anak muda, generasi masa depan yang mempunyai harapan untuk melihat budaya politik baharu, seakan kelam dan hilang.
Impian pengundi-pengundi yang pulang mengundi 9 Mei 2018 dengan tekad untuk membentuk Malaysia Baharu, gugur dan retak.
Apakah masih masa hadapan untuk parti keramat kita ini?
Hal ini semakin merunsingkan saya terutamanya apabila UMNO dan BN hanya menerima kerajaan PN sehingga menjelang PRU15 sahaja.
Majlis Tertinggi UMNO telah memutuskan bahawa mereka melalui Muafakat Nasional akan menggempur semua kerusi-kerusi yang dipertandingkan oleh Bersatu dan sekutu Bersatu di dalam PRU 15 nanti. Perikatan Nasional hanyalah hubungan sementara bagi UMNO.
UMNO yang sepatutnya digantikan kewujudan mereka dengan Bersatu di dalam hati orang-orang Melayu tanah air ini.
Di kala itu, sekiranya kita tidak melakukan apa-apa, soalan saya, di manakah kedudukan Bersatu?
Ke PH tidak, ke Muafakat Nasional pun tidak. Kita menjadi pihak ketiga yang paling marginal berhadapan dengan dua blok PH dan Muafakat Nasional pada PRU15 nanti.
Apakah nasib Bersatu pada waktu itu nanti?
Apakah masih ada masa hadapan buat parti keramat ini?

IS THERE STILL A FUTURE FOR THIS PARTY?
Just something to share.
I can still remember how I had struggled with myself when I made the major life decision of joining politics and joining the party Bersatu.
I questioned many things at that time. Was I fit to be a politician? Would I be able to take off my academic robe and instead roll around with backstabbing, bargaining, and insults in the political world which promises more deceit than truth?
What drove me to be involved in politics and Bersatu was the political atmosphere of the country that was plagued by the chronic turmoil of the time.
As the world knew Malaysia for the misuse of power and financial mismanagement by certain individuals, the nation seemed to be calling on its citizens to wake up and change the situation.
As an academic trained to stand on facts, idealism and moral fastidiousness, I felt that it was time for me to begin actualising all the theories and idealisms that were frequently conveyed to the minds of students through lectures.
My soul-searching dilemma found its antidote when I met Tun Dr Mahathir, and then I met Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin next. Both figures continue to hold a special place in my heart to this day.
I happened to be the first moderator of Tun’s forum (who was no longer a UMNO member then) attended by the people in Pasir Gudang Johor.
After that, I was often invited to be the moderator of Tun’s forums organised by various parties circa 2016-2017. Holding a face-to-face conversation with Tun was truly a moment that I will never forget. I still remember Tun's sage words at that time,
“We have to save Malaysia from the kleptocrats. Malaysia used to be known for its progress and its glory, now only known for its corruption.
Besides, as Malays we must ensure the survival of the Malays. What will be the future of the Malays if the culture of corruption, abuse of power and money politics becomes the norm without anyone speaking out against it?"
It was clear that Tun, in the twilight of age, was fraught with worry and anxiety thinking about the political fate of the Malays.
Also, I could not forget Tan Sri's words when I met him (long ago, even before the 14th General Election). I was also the first moderator of his public forum in Johor Bahru immediately after his removal from UMNO.
A year after the event, I decided to join Bersatu, and was given the opportunity to meet Tan Sri. Among Tan Sri’s remarks that left a deep impact on me;
“We need new faces to shape a new political culture. We need to create a new culture of Bersatu politics.”
I scrutinised the establishment of Bersatu, bit by bit. Bersatu had a very solid foundation when it was set up.
In addition to upholding Islam, upholding the position of bumiputera and language, upholding democracy, Bersatu pledges to 'fight corruption and abuse of power to create good governance and a clean, trustworthy and integrity-based government.'
You may refer to Bersatu website for the party’s principles: https://www.pribumibersatu.org.my/prinsip.php
From then on, a substantial number of people had joined Bersatu. From Wang Kelian to abroad, the people placed their high hopes on Bersatu as the 'fresh start' to a new political culture.
Everyone was aware how damaging the system had been for so long, the major scandals and the outrageous cases of breach of trust, all slowly unfolding.
No need to go too far for examples. Within education itself, you can see the case of the Sarawak rural school solar energy project that is already on trial. Just observe how the persons in question are quarrelling with one another simply to save themselves from prosecution.
It is truly unfortunate that the trial could not be completed before PH fell. Today, the person who was directly involved in the solar energy project is getting the chairmanship of a GLC (which is also related to 'energy').
If a religious figure had once said, appoint clean cabinet ministers to be the strength of the established government,
now what about the appointment of these characters in GLCs? Is there another religious argument that will be brought forth to justify this action? If indeed there is, I'd love to read about it.
True. Bersatu is a very young party. But the establishment of Bersatu was very clear in its purpose and basis. Of course we are not a perfect party, we are a party that has weaknesses, but at least we have never slipped from the original purpose of this party’s establishment.
To uphold democracy, to defend religion, to strengthen the nation, and most importantly, our commitment to continue our fight against corruption, abuse of power, and the building of a new culture of governance, with integrity.
Now, how do we answer ourselves when the same culture is back in our country, before our very eyes?
Do we not feel anxious seeing the persons whose actions we had fought against in the past are now dominating the scene once again without any shame and guilt?
They are the raison d’etre Bersatu was formed. Bersatu was established to replace them, to provide an alternative to the old, corrupt politics, bringing about the new politics that was once envisaged as the Bersatu culture.
It was for this higher purpose that I had joined Bersatu and entered politics.
I would like to thank the Bersatu MPT, Dato Dr Rais Husin who had successfully finalised my registration as a member in this beloved party. March 2018 was the blessed day of my life when I officially joined Bersatu.
To be honest, at this juncture the direction of the party is still a blur to me. When we (Bersatu) were an important component of PH previously, our identity was clear, the Malays could take refuge in the home of Bersatu within PH while other ethnicities could take refuge in other homes and we tried to live together as fairly as possible (although sometimes we did bite our tongues).
Internal disputes are a norm in politics, the question is how do we handle conflicts and differences.
When Bersatu was taken out and had joined PN at the end of February, I started asking, is the identity that Bersatu carries still relevant, that is to become an alternative party for the Malays to replace UMNO? Is the idealism that we fought for still applicable?
If Bersatu eventually follows the same trend, begins to mix with those who bear the political culture we had once vowed to fight, becomes apologetic and guiltless to be with those we had defeated in the past simply because of greed for money and power clearly happening before our own eyes, then where is the rationale of the need for our party for the Malays?
In the end, the Malays, the youth, the future generation who had hopes to see a new political culture, seem to be in the dark and lost.
The dream of the voters who returned to vote on May 9, 2018 with the determination to build Malaysia Baharu, collapses and crashes.
Is there still a future for our beloved party?
I find it especially disturbing to know that UMNO and the BN have accepted the PN government only until the GE15.
The UMNO Supreme Council has decided that they, through Muafakat Nasional, will assail all the seats contested by Bersatu and allies of Bersatu in the coming GE15. Perikatan Nasional is only a temporary relationship for UMNO.
This is the same Umno whose existence in the hearts of Malays in this country should have been replaced by Bersatu.
So, if we do nothing, then my question is, where will Bersatu stand?
With PH we are not, with Muafakat Nasional we are not either. We will be the third most marginalised party to face the two blocks of PH and Muafakat Nasional in the GE15.
When that time comes, what would the fate of Bersatu be?
Is there any future for this party?

《孕婦不是豆腐》(See below for Eng)
當自己懷孕後才發現原來很多人(也包括一開始發現自己懷孕時的自己)會把自己當成豆腐人:這樣又不能做、那樣最好就不能做。不要吃這個、那個...
過了不久我發現其實他人的意見並不是不好,但有時當自己把這些意見看得太認真時就會對自己造成很大的壓力。同時,很多意見都是互相矛盾的... 在過程中我慢慢學會原來需要學習的是聆聽自己。可能以前自己會因為對自己的懷疑而去聽從他人、順他人意,卻很少聽自己的聲音,導致自己非常不開心。
其中一個意見就是他人勸告我不要動太多(甚至不要把手帶高過頭),但我自己知道如果自己什麼都不做我是會很容易憂鬱的。我問自己:「我究竟要做他人覺得對的事情,但自己一個承受不開心和憂鬱的情緒,還是我要聽自己,讓自己開心呢?究竟我肚裡面的小孩想要看到媽媽怎樣呢?」我決定用了三十多年聽他人,現在是時候聽自己了。
其實,只要懷孕時做的運動跟以前一樣(並沒有加入新的練習),強度略為減輕,並好好聽從身體的感受,比如說當天狀態不理想就不要勉強自己,好好休息等等。我發現,其實懷孕是一個考驗妳能否隨著身體的變化而去做配合,放下應該如何、想要怎樣。當然,如果你身體有特別狀況或懷了多胞胎,這就另作別論。
其實懷孕這個過程是可以很開心的。
第一孕期時我雖然仍有保持運動,但說真的,很多時候身體只有足夠的力氣去睡覺,所以運動或練習只有以前的三分之一(無論是強度或時間)。那時的練習並不是關於我想如何,而是我有能力做些什麼。當我能夠讓自己跟著身體的需要走(那時大部分時間一天睡三次小睡,晚上十點就要睡覺),能吃的時候吃,吃不下就不勉強自己,我發現一切轉變並不是我以前以為的那麼幸苦。可以說是一點都不辛苦。
在這裡我學到,原來很多時候的辛苦是來自與現實對抗,但當放下那些「應該要如何」的想法時,很多事情是可以很順的。
今天想與大家分享我的瑜伽練習。其實自懷孕一個月後,身體的韌帶比以前鬆了不少(因為孕婦身體會產生一種叫做鬆弛素的荷爾蒙),加上頭三個月身體真的很累,所以自己少了做瑜伽,就算某天有力氣練習都是選擇一些訓練力量的體位而非伸展性的(陰瑜伽就真的完全避免了),而且也多了做重訓。第四個月開始個人比較有精力,而今天身體卻想要多訓練!練習完整個人很開心、心情也非常的平靜。其實孕婦並不是豆腐,但千萬不要逞強!
其實無論妳有沒有懷孕,多多聆聽身體,你會發現她非常有智慧的!

JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE PREGNANT, THAT DOENS'T MEAN YOU HAVE BECOME A PIECE OF TOFU
Soon after I discovered about my pregnancy, many people including myself (at the begging) see me as a woman made of tofu (meaning: need to be handled with ultra care), people said to me, "You should not do this, don't do that, avoid this food and avoid that."
I received a lot of advice from others, they were all sincere advice, but I caught myself getting quite stressed by trying to listen to all of them. The more advice I heard, the more I noticed how contradicting they were. I came to the conclusion that maybe it's better to listen to my own inner voice instead. Growing up, I used to please others and rarely did I listen to my inner voice, and now is probably the time to practice that.
Many (esp. Chinese) told me not to exercise so much (some even told me not to raise my arms higher than my head!), but I was quite sure I can easily become depressed if I don't allow myself to move and exercise (I've been living an active lifestyle since elementary school!!!) So I asked myself, "should I listen to others and live a life that others want of me, and become depressed, or shall I live my life according to how I like it and be happy?" I decided to go for the second option, since I had tried pleasing others for 30 years and it's about time to live for myself.
To be honest, as long as your exercise routine is similar to the training you had had prior to the pregnancy (this is not a time to start something new), and lower the intensity a bit, this does not create much stress to the body, because your body is used to such routine. Of course, unless you are having some special body condition or you are carrying twins or multiple babies etc. Listen to your body, if you don't feel well or you feel fatigue,
rest. If you don't feel like eating, just listen to your body, eat only when you can. The more you can go with the flow of the body, the more fun and beauty you can discover about this special time of your life!
Though I tried to keep my exercise routine during the first trimester, I felt tired and sleepy during most of that period. It felt like I only had enough energy to sleep but nothing more! There was a period I napped 3 times a day and went to bed at 10 (slept through the night) and was only able to keep up 1/3 of the exercise routine. What I learned was: as long as you followed the intelligence of the body and let go of all the ideas of what you "should do", you don't need to suffer just because internal and external conditions are changing.
Here I would like to share with you my practice this morning. My joints felt very loose since the first month into the pregnancy (due to the production of a pregnancy hormone called relaxin), so I have not been doing much yoga. Even when I had the energy to practice, I chose poses mainly strengthening poses such as standing postures. Today, my body felt very strong and inspired and so handstand felt great! What I realized is, pregnant ladies are not tofu, just listen to your body and don't push it, then all will be well!
To be honest, whether you are pregnant or not, learn to listen to your body, as it will save you from so much unnecessary trouble!!
