Those who want Hudud should visit Pakistan and Iran first By: Marina Mahathir

|



THERE is a video circulating online which everyone in this country should watch. It depicts the execution of an Afghan woman for alleged adultery. Her husband shoots her many times in the head while being cheered on by a crowd of men. If anyone thinks this happened many years ago during the Taliban-era, they are sadly mistaken. This gruesome event happened recently, in present-day non-Taliban-ruled Afghanistan.

The authorities are now looking for the executioner who has predictably disappeared. But really they should arrest the entire crowd that watched it, as accessories to murder. I think this video should be shown to the growing number of politicians in this country who think hudud is a good idea for Malaysia. In particular, it should be shown to those who have just called for the same.

If they can watch the video without at least blanching and truly think that's what they want, then I hope they will be held accountable for not only the exodus of Malaysians from this country but also for the drastic reduction in foreign investments coming in. If they want to blow us back to the Stone Age, then they should at least be made to answer for it.

What is it with some of our politicians who seem to have taken leave of their senses? Is the loathing for reading and knowledge so widespread that they have to show it off with such ill-informed statements? In a world where problems are increasingly sophisticated and complicated, is hudud the only response these people can come up with? Maybe they should get out a bit more. They might like to travel to places like Pakistan where the literacy rate is all of 55pc and where, in some areas, only 22pc of women can read.

Or, go to Iran where a full 40pc of the population lives below the poverty line. They might also like to notice the vast numbers of children forced to do backbreaking work in the Middle East.

Or they can stay home and instead of reading the tabloids and beefing up their knowledge on which actress is about to marry which rich man, they might like to read up on our very own Federal Constitution which basically says that not only can't you have hudud laws, you also can't impose it on anyone who isn't Muslim.

Unless they have some subconscious need to lose the elections for their beloved party, then they might pause and see where this is going. But introspection is not a Malaysian strong point. Somebody floats an "idea" that they think will attract some press attention and next thing you know, everyone else is jumping on the bandwagon.

Never mind that none of the so-called hudud punishments can be found in the Quran. For years, our Government has steadily pooh-poohed the idea of having hudud in this country because that was what the Opposition (or at least some of them) wanted. For years those of us who knew that hudud did not belong in the 21st century have held on to that as our bulwark against theocratic rule in this country.

Now, however, the government supporters have changed their tune and are echoing the Opposition's line all those years ago. They seriously think this is the way to win an election? If hudud is to be implemented, then I hope someone realises that it has to be implemented fairly.

Therefore not only will petty thieves get their hands cut off but major-league million-ringgit bribe-takers too. And no doubt we will have morality police patrolling the streets and checking that everyone is being good.
