I refer to the Malaysiakini report TV3 fined RM50,000 for Aidilfitri commercial.

Your article said the commercial aired by the station ‘which is claimed to have insulted Muslims was taken off-air soon after a public outcry’. It omitted to mention that the chief instigator of the outcry was PAS Youth chief Nasrudin Hassan Tantawi.

When the controversy first surfaced, Harakah Daily reported that Nasrudin on Sept 5 had urged TV3 to scrap the Raya promotional greeting.

Nasrudin complained that the advertisement was ‘a mockery to Islam and gives the impression of polytheism especially to the young viewers’. By the PAS Youth chief’s reckoning, the objectionable ‘polytheism’ was because the ad ‘combined elements of Christmas, as well as Hinduism and Buddhism’.

The elements he mentioned were the computer-generated imagery of gigantic lotus flowers, visuals of Deepavalli lamps and a flying trishaw like Santa's sleigh coupled with special effects. Nasrudin chided TV3 for trying to bodek the prime minister and his ‘1Malaysia’ slogan. However, the ad would just as well reflect the ‘Malaysian First’ slogan too.

The lesson that the public can draw from the vehement backlash is that PAS Youth is amenable to neither of the ‘1Malaysia-Malaysian First’ concepts in the event that other influences are mixed with Islam.

There was another report too Rosmah's Islamic fashion show draws PAS fire. The PAS salvo was fired on the same premise – ‘insulting Islam’ and this time it is no less than the wife of the prime minister accused of the offence.

PAS Youth staged a demonstration after Friday prayers – their most favoured time slot of the week – to protest against Rosmah Mansor and demand a public apology from her.

There is a pattern here, and the Pakatan blind followers seem yet able to see, or to connect the dots.

On Oct 11, the New York Times (the story did indeed reach that far) reported the same PAS Youth chief Nasrudin as demanding the cancellation of a concert by the gay pop rock star Adam Lambert. NYT describes PAS as ‘a fundamentalist Muslim party’; the same fundamentalist Muslim party that so-called secularist DAP is sleeping with.

DAP has been hand-in-glove with their Pakatan partner in this pushing of the Islamisation agenda. Strange bedfellows, don't you think? PAS is saying 'this cannot', 'that cannot', 'this is un-Islamic', 'that is un-Islamic'. PAS, the moral police, is objecting to just about as many things as Perkasa is making its many police reports!

As PAS’s companion in bed, DAP must be supporting all this ‘cannot’ knotty business in its desperation for the Malay votes. Or at least, we’ve not heard DAP raising any objection, or calling for neutral ground.

PAS's adamant stance is a foretaste of what is to come. Its people could have just stayed at home if they don’t like entertainment but they instead want to prevent others from partying (or celebrating Valentine’s Day). The PAS option is to deprive Malaysians of choice and compel all to conform to their Islamic mould.

It smells of hypocrisy when the Islamist party has been going to town with its own disingenuous slogan 'PAS for all'. Muslim politicians and Pakatan party workers, in their own fishing for the minority votes (everybody's in the game) are fond of reassuring the non-Muslims with Verse 6 of the Surah Al Kafirun – ‘To you be your way and to me mine’.

Therefore, why are they not practising a reciprocal, 'To you be your music, to me mine'? But the way PAS has been demonstrating against a slew of concerts by both foreign and local artistes, it appears that they only consider nasyid performances to be acceptable as the standard 'PAS for all'.

In an earlier posting on our blog Hartal MSM, we wrote that DAP chief Lim Guan Eng is constantly ‘posturing as more Muslim than your regular Malay guy’. Given his and his party's track record, it is not likely that they can be a check and balance to the PAS juggernaut.

It is more likely that DAP’s Malaysian First will morph into a new ‘social contract’ that is dancing to PAS’s tune. But oops, let's not forget joget is also haram.

In the future ‘Malaysian First’ world where PAS is primus inter pares (first among equals), it will be a case of ‘this-cannot’, ‘that-cannot’.
