SEREMBAN - Selepas penganjuran Oktoberfest dan kempen 'Saya Mahu Sentuh Anjing,' yang menimbulkan kontroversi, kini timbul pula isu sebuah sekolah antarabangsa di Bandar Sri Sendayan, di sini mahu menganjurkan sambutan malam halloween pada 31 Oktober ini.
Penganjuran itu menimbulkan rasa kurang senang pelbagai pihak, khususnya penduduk kawasan sekitar yang majoritinya beragama Islam kerana beranggapan sekolah berkenaan cuba menyebarkan fahaman Barat kepada pelajar.
Lebih mengejutkan, tindakan pihak sekolah terbabit yang membuat promosi dengan memasang kain rentang sekitar bandar Seremban dan Senawang, mengajak orang luar untuk turut serta dalam program berkenaan.
Timbalan Presiden Ikatan Guru Muslim Malaysia, Mohd Azizee Hassan berkata, perayaan halloween itu tidak bersesuaian dengan budaya dan adat resam masyarakat di negara ini.
Menurutnya, program itu dikhuatiri akan mempengaruhi minda dan persepsi pelajar muslim sekolah berkenaan, bahawa budaya barat ini juga sesuai dilaksanakan di negara Islam.
“Saya tidak menyokong penganjuran program itu kerana ia mampu mencairkan identiti pelajar muslim di sekolah berkenaan.
“Walaupun pihak sekolah mengatakan bahawa tiada unsur agama dilakukan, namun acara tersebut tidak sepatutnya dimegahkan, seolah-olah kita mengiktiraf pesta itu.
“Saya bimbang, jika diteruskan acara ini, ia boleh merosakkan dan mengancam akidah pelajar Islam di sekolah berkenaan,” katanya.
Mohd Azizee turut meminta Jabatan Pendidikan negeri mengambil perhatian serius terhadap penganjuran ini walaupun ia berlangsung di sekolah persendirian.
Sementara itu, Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) mendesak supaya kerajaan negeri termasuk Majlis Agama Islam Negeri Sembilan (Mains) memantau aktiviti berkenaan.
Ahli Jawatankuasa Pusat Isma, Mohd Hazizi Ab Rahman berkata, program sebegitu tidak sepatutnya dianjurkan kerana bertentangan dengan budaya Islam.
Malah, katanya, penganjur dilihat bertindak berani apabila membuat iklan dan promosi mengenai malam halloween dalam bahasa Melayu.

Takde sapa paksa sapa taknak sambut dan sila hormat juga pendirian org lain selagi ianyaa tak harm sesiapa n tak langgar undang2. Yg kelakarnya statement dlm article tu katanya takut blh menjejaskan akidah students islam lemah sgt ke pegangan ummah suci agama paling benar ni setakat tgk org pakai costumes berparty bagai dah boleh buat akidah yg sudah dipupuk sebaik saja lepas keluar dari pu keyy (sorry for my language) boleh terjejas teruk dlm sekelip mata?
Kebanyakkan sambutan2 dr barat dlm konteks zmn moden skrg ni semuanya sekadar having fun berparty bagai gitu they just wanna have a good time walaupun asal usul sesuatu parayaan tu di zmn dulu kala bermula krn ada kaitan dgn agama. Even Christimas pun dah jadi lebih kpd perayaan tradisi utk diraikan bersama keluarga, excited hias rmh warna warni berpokok xmas bagai kompol2 makan2 sembang2 bukan lagi perayaan keagamaan utk sstengah rakyat negara di eropah sana. Baptism n christening pun bagi sesetengah rakyat kafer di sstengah negara di eropah lebih kpd satu amalan tradisi jah, sesuatu yg perlu diraikan n peluang utk sedara mara berkumpul n bertepuk tampar lol bukan sbb agama pun. Jadi jgn takut dgn perayaan dorg sbb dorg pun bukan kesah psl hal2 agama ni dorg cuma nak celebrate jah. Klu kita tak suka takyah buat takde sapa letak pisau kat leher kita.
Halloween a ploy to make Muslims godless, says Isma
UPDATED: October 25, 2014 07:14 pm
BANGI, Oct 25 — Halloween celebrations are organised by non-Muslims worldwide to shake the faith of Muslims and turn them godless, Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) alleged today.
Its president Abdullah Zaik Abdul Rahman said it was likely that atheists were behind the events, claiming further that Halloween celebrations were also intended to spread atheism.
“We notice that such events are held to test moral limits or religion, and they are usually done by groups which are not religion-based — they are usually organised by non-Muslims.
“What they are doing is promoting something that is anti-religion. Maybe it is done by atheists who want to shake one’s faith,” Zaik told a press conference here.
Isma ulama council chief Aznan Hasan also suggested that Halloween celebrations may be a concerted effort to weaken Muslim faith.
“If it’s an isolated event, then it signals the poor understanding of Islam among Muslims, but what concerns me more is that if they are a form of planned attack (on Islam),” he told the same press conference.
Aznan also said such events were intended to make Muslim Malays “forget who they are” as celebrations like Oktoberfest and Halloween are western constructs.
Zaik had made a similar accusation against the organiser of the Oktoberfest beer festival earlier this month.
This was echoed by other hardline Muslim groups, as well as conservative leaders from PAS, the Islamist party in federal opposition pact
Isma’s detractors, however, argued that the Malaysians have long participated in such celebrations, and that there is no data to suggest that such events have led to Muslims abandoning their faith.
Commenting on this, Zaik insisted that the Oktoberfest and Halloween celebrations were done to instil atheistic values and that they were designed to encourage Muslims to question the teachings of Islam.
“It is a process. It is not just today. The reasons why they (non-Muslims and liberals) dare to question (the position of Islam and the Malays) is the culmination of such events,” Zaik said.
The coming Halloween festival came to the attention of several conservative Muslim groups after banners promoting the annual event were put up at an international school in Seremban.
According to a report on Sinar Harian Online today, Ikatan Guru Muslim Malaysia (IGMM) deputy president Mohd Azizee Hassan said the celebration is inappropriate as it clashes with Malaysian culture and traditions.
Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain, and is celebrated every year on October 31, which is the eve of the Western Christian feast All Hallow’s Day or All Saints’ Day.
Malay rights groups like Isma and Perkasa have previously hit out at a number of events that they claimed could possibly ruin Malaysia’s image as an Islamic country and bring ruin to the nation.
One such event is the Oktoberfest beer festival, which was held at a shopping mall car park in Selangor.
Although the event was promoted to non-Muslims, conservative Muslim groups urged their supporters to rally against the event and venues that serve alcohol as part of the festival.
Last Sunday, a young Malaysian Muslim invited flak when he organised the “I Want to Touch a Dog” event at the Central Park in Bandar Utama, an event he said was merely to offer Malay-Muslims here the opportunity to pet canines, an animal that many in the community regard as culturally taboo.
Muslim leaders from both sides of the political divide have since been up in arms over the event, claiming that it was deviant and could lead Muslims astray from the country’s accepted form of Sunni ideology.

tak payah banyak cakap lah. senang kalau tak sokong tim bola sepak barat sebab ianya tidak islamik. jangan tengok movie kapir sebab tiada unsur2 Islamik. terpesong akidah.
jangan masuk forum Cari. ia bendaalah kapir. kalau boleh jangan taip abjad a b c. gunakan jawi sebab abc benda2 kapir
Klu tak nak sambut takde hal takde sapa paksa, tapi takyah halang org lain yg nak sambut. Kat Msia ni bukan kita saja yg tinggal ada org2 lain sama, hormatlah hak2 org lain sama yg nak sambut sesuatu perayaan tu takyah duk paksa semua kena ikut bagi sesuai dgn kita. Janganlah selfish sgt.
