Green wave due to fearmongering of 'ghost in the tree', says Mat Sabu

The Star

Supposed threats against Islam and Malays are the tales of "the ghost in the tree" which no one sees, but is feared, says Parti Amanah Nasional (Amanah) president Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.  The Agriculture and Food Security Minister said this was why the Opposition coalition Perikatan Nasional managed to peddle these threats and win seats in the last general and state elections.  He said this on Sunday (Dec 24), on the last day of the Amanah national convention held in Klang, Selangor.

00:00 "The most important thing is to think about the interests of the people first, not the interests of friends and family.

00:08 The future will come. What I said is not necessarily true.

00:14 With the foundation of harmony that we have, if this cooperation happens, cooperating and helping each other,

00:27 we can create some leaders in the fight against terrorism.

00:33 Don't think that we are good at winning, but we have to win some battles.

00:43 If there is a good alliance in this cooperation, we can win 6-7 leaders in the fight against terrorism.

00:54 We can see our progress.

00:57 When I was elected, I was in charge of the land and water.

01:02 The government has been helping us.

01:06 The result is that we won both places and the majority of land is ours.

01:12 This is a lesson for us. We have been working together for almost 4 years.

01:20 As our President, Dr. Zul said,

01:26 although we are sometimes hard to understand each other,

01:33 but our hearts are clean and we are willing to accept any defeat.

01:39 So that we can be in a co-efficient political situation.

01:47 If our alliance goes well,

01:51 on the 16th of January, God willing, the alliance will be back in power with more wealth.

02:00 But as I said earlier, if this policy goes well, I think it will come.

02:08 We don't know what will happen next week, but our plan is as such.

02:16 This alliance will be strong, because the common goal is concrete.

02:23 Although the people in the village dream of meeting again,

02:29 saying that after the 6th of January, the government will change,

02:34 God willing, it will not happen until now, and this government will remain.

02:41 The biggest issue is the threat of Islam,

02:47 and the situation of Malay people is uncertain.

02:51 In Permantapau, the grave of the birthplace of the Reformation,

02:56 Permantapau, the Sumpah of Permantapau,

02:59 many polemics and the 32nd of January,

03:04 this is the result of the strong Islam slogan,

03:09 the Malay people are not threatened,

03:12 the perception is that Malay people can be accepted, including in the intellectual area.

03:17 This is a serious issue that we have to face, we have to raise it,

03:22 where are the Malay people threatened, where is the threat of Islam?

03:26 That is just a phobia, a burning issue.

03:31 Just like we said before, under the tree of the devil,

03:34 no one can prove that the tree is the devil,

03:38 but those who have been under the tree, all of them,

03:41 climb up the tree, even though they do not see the devil.

03:45 This is what we see, the people are trapped with the threat of Islam,

03:51 and the Malay people are not threatened.

03:54 Don't be afraid of struggle, like us in Amman,

04:00 we are supported by non-Muslims,

04:03 our courage is in front of us, we are here,

04:06 stand up,

04:09 like this,

04:12 like this,

04:15 we want,

04:21 many non-Muslims are together because of our struggle,

04:25 which is Islam, mercy and peace,

04:29 the Malay people are not the devil,

04:31 but mercy for all,

04:34 this is what we need to look at,

04:37 if we fight with the devil,

04:40 we have to take the right way, we have to take the wrong way,

04:44 the way to make the mercy for all,

04:49 but we will do our best,

04:52 we will know,

04:55 the public opinion,

04:57 is not even 20%,

05:00 so we are trying, now,

05:03 the public officials are with us,

05:06 they see that this will happen,

05:09 I believe that the day will come.

05:13 Thank you.

05:15 (Applause)
