Ridhuan Tee Abdullah






Who is Dr. Ridhuan Tee Abdullah? He is a 'prominent' Muslim convert, lecturing in the National Defence University.

.

Among so many converts in the country, why is he known as 'prominent' ? Well, this 'special' convert is more 'kiasu' than our neighouring 'kiasu' Singaporeans, more 'muslim' than most muslims. Many nights, he must has been dreaming and wishing that he is a born Muslim. When he becomes a convert, he is not only converted to the religion but trying hard to convert himself to race too. He is confused, he has mixed up religion and race. He may not even realised that because of his inferior complex, he is working hard to show his loyalty to his Muslim bosses, by accusing the non-Muslims of putting their own interests above that of the country’s. Hoping through stepping on others, he will be taken in as true Muslim.


.
Many a time,through his column in Mingguan Malaysia, he spoke as if he is an expert on religion and education. In his recent column, he puts forward 'a formula based on the racial and religious breakdown of the country’s 27 million population, to apportion the share of what is due to each community in terms of rights, festivities and celebrations, adding that no one should question the “social contract.” ' ( quote from Malaysian Insider)

.
Ridhuan TEE Abdullah, a Chinese Muslim convert( no matter how hard he can try, he can't take away his TEE), has to be corrected by another Malay Muslim Khalid Samad (Shah Alam MP), who said:“What he is doing is not right. As a Muslim, we want to emphasize that Islam teaches justice. Everyone has rights. We do not accept a rule where only one race’s rights are protected simply because they are the majority. We cannot deny the minority.”

.
I love this country as much as many other Malaysians, we did not doubt the special priviledges for Malays in the original social contract of the country. We also know that, as citizens of the country, it is our responsibility to contribute and build the country as our other brothers and sisters; and that we do.

.
I was talking to a friend from Sarawak, she is in her twenties, working in Shah Alam. Her father is a Malay Muslim, her mother was a Christian Dayak but has since converted. Her Dayak aunt married a Chinese, both are Christian staying in Petaling Jaya. She told me she will be going to her aunt's house during Christmas time and Chinese New Year. She enjoyed the rich cultures in her family. I was impressed and touched. Isn't that this is what we are working hard to achieve?

.
Tolerance and understanding has to be from all sides. So, TEE, if you cannot drop off your inferior complex, if you cannot accept where you come from(Chinese origin), you can as well stop writing and talking.

.
On the other hand, we may have to ignore him and do not be bothered by this "little man" (小人物). The more we talked about him, the more he is in the news. May be, this is the way he gets to be known! He wants to be noticed by the university authority or even political party!

  2. I don't know.

    To me, religion is for a person to do good deeds & be a better person. I know many friends who have converted from Buddhist to Christian & vice-versa; or to be Muslim. Religion and race are 2 seperate matters.

    I just read from Oriental Daily, that this Ridhuan TEE Abdullah even commented on the Chinese burial ceremony & Cemetery. What he is up to???

  3. Just because they suppose Chinese can be more Muslim then Malay Muslim. Ridhuan Tee is a good example for us. If we have 200 persons look like Ridhuan Tee but not like Ridhuan Tee, can you imagine how our country will be?

  5. PETALING JAYA, Dis 28 — Mursyidul Am PAS Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat mendakwa DAP kini sudah dapat menerima rancangan penubuhan sebuah negara Islam yang diperjuangkan oleh PAS selama ini.

    Nik Aziz berkata kesediaan pemimpin DAP membawa lambang PAS dalam Pakatan Rakyat ketika ini membuktikan mereka semakin memahami dan dapat menerima dasar perjuangan PAS.

    "Saya rasa bangga dan terharu dengan perubahan yang ditunjukkan kepimpinan DAP kini, yang selama ini dengan jelas membantah dasar Islam yang akan dilaksanakan oleh PAS dalam usaha melaksanakan sebuah negara Islam sekiranya berkuasa kelak.

    "Lo ini (sekarang) alhamdulillah semua tuduhan yang dilemparkan (DAP) terhadap hasrat PAS untuk melaksanakan dasar negara Islam itu sudah diterima oleh mereka," kata beliau dipetik Berita Harian hari ini.

    Nik Aziz yang juga Menteri Besar Kelantan dilaporkan berkata demikian semasa berucap merasmikan Majlis Perhimpunan Kesedaran Wanita Kelantan dekat Temangan, Machang.

    Beliau mengakui turut memakai lambang parti DAP, Parti Keadilan Rakyat dan PAS untuk membuktikan kesetiaan dan hubungan baik yang dijalin antara mereka dalam Pakatan Rakyat ketika konvensyen sulung mereka di Shah Alam, Selangor 19 Dis lalu.

    Kata beliau semua pemimpin memakai baju yang memaparkan lambang tiga parti termasuklah Pengerusi DAP Karpal Singh dan Presiden PAS Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang pada majlis itu tanpa dirancang.

    "Apa salahnya menggunakan lambang roket? Dulu DAP menentang PAS pasal hukum hudud, namun sekarang mereka sudah faham mengenai hukum hudud," katanya.

    Nik Aziz berkata pemimpin DAP sepatutnya sudah lama menyedari yang penubuhan sebuah negara Islam yang dicadangkan PAS dikuatkuasakan terhadap orang Islam sahaja.

    Katanya selain membantah cadangan itu DAP juga pernah menuduh kerajaan PAS Kelantan di bawah pimpinannya menzalimi orang bukan Islam tetapi gagal membuktikan dakwaan itu sehingga kini.

    Ketika berucap pada konvensyen itu, Nik Aziz berkata "di dada Karpal ada bulan" merujuk kepada lambang PAS bulan.

    Kedua-dua Nik Aziz dan Karpal buat pertama kali bertemu di satu pentas.

    Karpal dalam ucapannya pula berkata beliau bukan sahaja duduk di sebelah Nik Aziz hari ini tetapi di antara Nik Aziz dan Hadi.
