Pas Attempt To Sideline Sis A Dangerous Move Says Pj Mp




Maria Chin Abdullah has ticked off PAS for pushing its own agenda on the issue of the government allocating funds to Sister In Islam (SIS)
She said PAS Rantau Panjang MP Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff's remark was "nothing more than an attempt by PAS to nudge the government towards the selective and preferential distribution of funds based on religious and ideological beliefs"
Pakatan Harapan's Petaling Jaya MP Maria said this was a dangerous idea for raising religious agenda in government's allocation
"In the new Malaysia, we should rise above differences and extend our humanity and compassion to those who need our assistance
"We must not be blinded by our differences and instead protect and stand up for the marginalised, infirm, poor, those with disabilities, discriminated, beaten and struggling," she said in a statement today
On Thursday, Siti Zailah had questioned Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Ministry Minister Hannah Yeoh over a RM20,000 allocation to SIS
Siti Zailah brought up a fatwa by several state's Islamic affairs departments which had declared SIS a "deviant group"
In an immediate response, Yeoh said her ministry provided funding to SIS on the basis the NGO had done a lot to provide legal assistance to women
"Ministry funds must be non-partisan. SIS clearly fits the criteria set by the Ministry which includes improving women’s welfare and advocating for human rights," said Maria
"Moreover, the NGO has checks and balances in its financial management that makes it transparent and accountable," she said
"It is high time that PAS starts placing more importance on understanding the welfare work that SIS does and not demonise the organisation," she said
SIS has been advocating for equal rights in Malaysia for many years while its free legal clinic, Telenisa, has assisted 8,400 people since 2003, including those from Kelantan, in matters of Islamic family law and syariah criminal offences, according to the former Bersih chairperson
"This involves cases related to divorces, polygamy cases, child custody, and property," she added
"Without organisations like SIS, these marginalised women might not be able to receive the support they need and will end up defenseless," she said
"PAS should realise that such attacks will only hurt those who have nowhere else to turn to," she said
Meanwhile, The Joint Action Group for Gender Equality (JAG) said Siti Zailah should educate herself on the long history of SIS' work fighting to uphold the human rights of women
The group urged Siti Zailah to speak with thousands of Muslim women on the ground, whose rights to gender equality and non-discrimination SIS has stridently fought for
JAG said Siti Zailah's call for the government to act against SIS was "highly irresponsible in dismissing freedom of individuals and organisations to express their religious beliefs in diverse ways"
"JAG would like to urge Siti Zailah and the Parliamentary Select Committee on Rights and Gender Equality members to engage with civil society to be a part of the solution for the rakyat
"Let’s practice a mature democracy and, together, roll our sleeves up to address the lived realities of communities on the ground and abandon political posturing," said JAG in a statement.  - Mkini
