I seem to be flitting from one PAS event to another. Last Friday, it was the
fuel hike protest at Kampung Baru, and on Saturday night, I took some time to attend a 'Ceramah Perdana' that would feature amongst others,
Y.A.B. Tuan Guru Dato' Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, Chief Minister to the State of Kelantan Darul Naim. The photograph here shows members of Unit Amal Malaysia performing their evening prayers at the MPAJ field prior to the event.
Members of Unit Amal Malaysia, an auxiliary organization affiliated with PAS, being briefed on security and protocol measures just before the event kicked-off.
Registration drive for new members for PAS itself (Muslims) and for PAS Supporters Club (Non-Muslims).
"Those UMNO fellas stole my punchline! Somebody get me a lawyer quick!" Hulu Langat Member of Parliament, Che Rosli Che Mat at the pulpit stand. He issued a challenge to any Barisan Nasional lawyers in the audience, said to be sent to Pakatan Rakyat rallies as observers, to identify themselves. He promised the BN lawyers that they would be given the privilege of being seated next to Tok Guru himself. Suffice to say, either there weren't any BN lawyers in attendance that night, or the prospect of being seated next to the Tok Guru himself just wasn't good enough.
A nasheed choir entertains the audience.
Y.B Iskandar Abdul Samad, Executive Councilor to the Selangor State Government and ADUN for Chempaka. Whereas YB Che Rosli could be said to be on the side of rhetorics and biting humor, YB Iskandar Samad is more measured and calm in his pronouncements.
Tok Guru Nik Aziz listening intently to Iskandar Samad's speech.
I couldn't recall the name of the ustaz here who was up next after YB Iskandar Samad. However, I could remember what he said about Tok Guru's economic policy, which was summarized as, "
Berbelanja jangan sehingga membazir, berjimat jangan sehingga kedekut" i.e. spend wisely, not waste; practice thrift, never niggardly.
"Just great. I was gonna use that line! Now what do I say?" Tok Guru Nik Aziz in deep thought.
Y.A.B. Tuan Guru Dato' Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, Chief Minister to the State of Kelantan Darul Naim.
The all Malay crowd that night hung on to every word coming out from the mouth of Tok Guru. It was obvious to me that Tok Guru commanded much respect from segments of the Malay community.
My estimate of the numbers in attendance that night? More or less 5,000.
