Tentang pemimpin

Kali ini seorang lagi pemimpin Islam dibunuh.Siapa? Beliau adalah Muammar Gaddafi. Siapa membunuh? Pemberontak yang ingin merampas kuasa.

Membunuh seorang pemimpin? Apakah tiada langsung sumbangan yang pernah diberikan oleh beliau sehingga tergamak rakyatnya sendiri membunuhnya? Jikalau sekalipun dia mempunyai kesalahan, adakah dengan membunuh secara kejam itu adalah penyelesaiannya? Tatkala jenazah Muammar Gaddafi terbujur kaku, pemberontak pun naik takhta dan meraikan kemenangan itu. Hahaha....sampai bila kamu boleh ketawa gembira sedemikian rupa??

Menyentuh tentang hal ini, saya membayangkan jikalau ia berlaku di Malaysia. Katakanlah ada pemberontak sedemikian rupa., sanggupkah kita melihat pemimpin kita ditembak mati dengan mayat yang berlumuran darah dan pengebumiannya tidak dihormati? Mungkin dia bukan pemimpin yang kita sanjungi, mungkin dia banyak kelemahan di sana sini, tapi membunuh secara kejam bukan cara kita. Syukur Malaysia tidak begitu.Keamanan masih kekal.

Hal ini juga membuat saya berfikir tentang pemansuhan ISA. Selama ini, sesiapa sahaja yang berpotensi untuk menggugat keamanan negara akan ditangkap oleh ISA. Tujuan penubuhan ISA itu sebenarnya murni. Ia adalah bertujuan untuk menjaga keamanan negara. Tapi ISA acap kali ditentang terutama oleh golongan pembangkang kerajaan. ISA dikatakan menghalang rakyat bersuara. Ada relevannya di situ. Walaubagaimanapun, menurut pandangan saya, ISA itu adalah sesuatu yang wajar diwujudkan tetapi dengan syarat ia dikendalikan oleh orang yang benar- benar adil dan jujur. Orang yang adil dan jujur itu sudah tentu pemimpin negara kita. Perlunya adil dan jujur di sini supaya orang yang ditangkap ISA itu adalah orang yang benar- benar wajar ditangkap, bukan sekadar orang yang punya potensi meranapkan kerajaan dan mengurangkan jumlah undi dalam pilihanraya.

Saya terkenang dengan pemimpin- pemimpin Islam dahulu. Contoh yang paling dekat ialah Nabi Muhammad. Baginda bukanlah pemimpin yang dilimpahi emas permata, bukan pemimpin yang duduk di atas takhta dan dikipas seperti mana raja- raja. Tapi beliau sungguh dihormati, bukan sekadar di dunia malah juga di akhirat. Di Malaysia, ada seorang pemimpin yang sungguh saya kagumi dan punya sifat seperti Nabi Muhammad. Beliau adalah  Nik Aziz. Nik Aziz boleh saja makan di warung tanpa ditemani pengawal keselamatan. Beliau tidak kelihatan seperti orang kenamaan. Beliau dekat dengan rakyatnya. Pemimpin lain pula bagaimana? Turun padang sekali setahun atau hanya apabila dekat pilihanraya? Kalau nak pergi satu daerah terpencil pun pakai helikopter. Mana nak nampak jalan yang teruk dan tak berturap!

Di akhirat kelak, pemimpin akan ditanya pelbagai soalan. Amanah yang tidak dijalankan akan dipersoalkan. Susah sebenarnya menjadi seorang pemimpin. Walaupun pemimpin dianggap senang tapi bebannya tinggi. Jadilah pemimpin yang memimpin dengan telus berpaksikan agama, bukan sekadar kerana harta dunia sahaja. 

Natrah

I don’t know what makes me feel so interest to know about this woman. Unlucky I just discovered her after her death. To me, the story of Natrah is very rare and it happened in this country a long time ago. Natrah is a daughter of a Dutch couple. It is happened in Indonesia when her mother gave Natrah who still 5 years old to a single malay muslim woman (Che Aminah Mohamad) due to the war in Indonesia at that time. Many years later her parents who were in mission to find her eventually found her and want to take her back from her adopted mother. At that time, Natrah who already 13 years old was a happy muslim girl. She was really happy live with her adopted mother in Kemaman, Terengganu. She refused to return back to her real parents. Her parents decide to take this case into court but they fail to get back their daughter. To avoid Natrah from taken again by her parents, her adopted mother marry her with a teacher named Mansor Adabi. Natrah married the man with her heart as her fall in love with him. However, this action gives Natrah’s parents a chance to take her back. They object the marriage and strongly said that the marriage is illegal because Natrah is still under age. This case was taken to the court and this time Natrah’s parents won and succeed to get their daughter back to their country. Then, they change Natrah’s religion from Islam to Christian. Natrah then learned their language, food and culture. Many years later she had become a Duchess as other Duchess. However, she hated her parents and she also always in pressure. Her life was not as fine as what she had gone through in Kemaman, Terengganu. She still misses her former life with her adopted mother although she had married and had her own children. Until her death, she still misses her old memories.

I have read many information about her in internet and I also read a novel about her entitled ‘ Atas Nama Cinta’. This story is a very tragic story. One I know is Natrah still misses her old life, but does she ever miss her old religion? What makes Natrah change her image, get married and having children all in the way of Christian’ life? If she can do something to get back to her old life after her 18 years old, perhaps her life will not be so miserable. Perhaps Natrah was so upset at that moment and so tired to think about it. She lost her energy to fight for her life. Of course her environment is not supportive to motivate her towards that intention. I know it is hard for a young girl aged 13 years old to go through all this. Without any support she cannot stand from changing to adapt to the new world. However, I believe that if she has a strong faith to Islam, her life will not be ended with sadness. The story of her life after going to Dutch will be different. It is so sad to know that Natrah had to leave her happy life in Kemaman but to me, it is sadder to know that Natrah had changed and become a real Christian devotee.
