Daripada lontaran lumpur kepada ‘dajal’: Setinggi-tinggi penghargaan kami buat Hadi

We all certainly deserve to express an unfathomable amount of gratitude towards PAS President Hadi Awang. For decades, the ordinary Malaysian people have often been confused when trying to handle political differences using tired secular terms such as "fundamental differences", "economic disagreements", or "constitutional debates".

How insignificant all of that is. As a pioneer of religious leadership, PAS has on its own turned local political discourse into a battlefield of eschatological origin. Political analysts, independent monitors, and opposition politicians may be puzzled by his "highly divisive, religiously rooted, and sharp" discourse, but they simply lack the perspective to appreciate the artistry behind his seemingly endless array of negative terms.

For those seeking to understand how a "scholar" of Islam chooses to maintain his discourse in the political arena, here is a simple guide to grasp the 'senior class' nature of his arrogance displayed towards the world. The Dajjal Doctrine Why bother debating familiar treaty terms when you can cite the absolute worst-case scenario?

In November 2026, when the government and oppositions announce the customary Confidence and Supply (CSA) Contract proposals, ordinary leaders may debate fiscal provisions. But not our master. Hadi promptly diagnoses the party's rift as the "last-ditch approach of Dajjal at the end times". By equating political compromise with Al-Masih ad-Dajjal (the False Messiah)—the ultimate trickster in Islamic eschatology—he reminds us that cooperation between parties is not just a poor management of affairs, but a harbinger of the beginning of Armageddon.

High-Level Sociology In 2022, Hadi boldly tackled the complex and systemic issue of global financial crime. When the anti-corruption agency wasted millions investigating weak institutional foundations and systemic flaws in asset generation, Hadi successfully unraveled the secret by proclaiming non-Muslims and non-Bumiputeras as "corruption sources" in Malaysia.

When civil society groups like Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M) vehemently objected as it perceived this as xenophobia and seedbed of hatred, they clearly missed the nuance of this theological approach: why bother fixing a broken system when you can blame a single demographic group? The language class from the prestigious House of Representatives is already considered outdated.

In 2025, when serious parliamentary debates take place, Hadi decided to give the House of Representatives a direct lesson in national flair. When referring to a small group of Western people with white skin, he continued to replace standard human names with the animal term "tail". Although the parliamentary law officer questioned the propriety of his words, language enthusiasts should admire his commitment to serving geopolitical enemies like the roaming livestock.

Controlling the Intelectual Class Consistency is the blemish on narrow-minded minds. When four Malay DAP leaders dared to question Hadi's frequently-changing ideology throughout his career, he didn't take the time to quote a holy verse to them. Instead, he openly mocked them as "ill-educated". This is a perfect debate tactic: if someone shows your inconsistency, simply remind them that they lack a "spiritual PhD" needed to comprehend it.

Flexible Friendship Art: A flexible political partnership like a fashion season—easily discarded and solely dependent on the weather. Look at his fluctuating relationship with DAP over the decades. During the peak years of the Barisan Alternatif and Pakatan Rakyat coalition (1999-2013), Hadi shared the stage with the same DAP leader, which today is laughed at as a glorious and strategic struggle.

When it switched to PAS' Muktamar in 2015, the party suddenly decided to sever ties with DAP without any debate. In an instant, the former ally was retroactively transformed into the most prominent ideological enemy. Progressive PAS member who dared to question this U-turn move was completely removed from leadership, eventually leaving to form a splinter party, Amanah.

His flexibility doesn't stop there. Leading up to 2019, Hadi signed the Muafakat Nasional agreement with Umno—the arch-enemy he previously strongly condemned in his infamous "Haji Hadi Instructions" of 1981. In 2020, he shifted again to steer Perikatan Nasional. This is a class act in situational theology: something is considered sacred until it stops providing political benefits, and then it is erased from historical memory.

The Amateur Zoologist's Safari Instead of the specific parliamentary metaphor, our master zoologist also acts as a wide-ranging political safari guide. He feeds the nation with a dynamic and scriptural menagerie, earning himself the nickname "amateur zoologist". While his devoted followers firmly believe that his frequent references to wildlife are merely high-level historical and religious metaphor practice, some creativity is definitely involved.
