Dr. Sam's Political Journey with PAS

Dr. Sam's involvement with PAS began during his school days at SESMA in Terengganu, where he recalls jumping the school fence to attend lectures in 1985.
Dr. Sam was drawn to listen to Tuan Guru Hj Hadi due to the warm political atmosphere in Terengganu and Kelantan, particularly at Rusila, which became a focal point for PAS activities.
While studying in the UK, Dr. Sam was part of Hizbi, a student movement affiliated with PAS, where he held leadership positions and interacted with prominent figures like Refizi and Dato' Fadli Hassan.
After completing his PhD and working as an academic at UPM, Dr. Sam transitioned into politics, initially assisting PAS internally with policies and discussions.
Dr. Sam's involvement with PAS deepened after the party's loss in Terengganu in 2004, leading to the formation of a think tank group comprising university professors and professionals to support the party's leadership.
Dr. Sam eventually became the political secretary to the PAS President, Tuan Guru, and later served as a press secretary, balancing these roles with his academic background.
Despite initial reluctance, Dr. Sam was urged by Tuan Guru to contest for the position of Terengganu Menteri Besar in 2018, a decision that initially made him uncomfortable due to his preference for working behind the scenes.
Dr. Sam's lack of prior work experience in Terengganu and his sudden appointment as Menteri Besar caused some discomfort, as he was perceived as a newcomer in politics compared to other senior PAS members.
Dr. Sam's role as a People's Representative in Terengganu differed from that in the West Coast states, with a higher level of public dependence and expectation for regular interaction with constituents.
Despite his initial discomfort, Dr. Sam accepted the role of Menteri Besar and navigated the challenges of being a prominent political figure in Terengganu, balancing his academic background with his newfound political responsibilities.

Federal Payment Delay Impacts State Projects

The federal government has not fully paid the courtesy money from last year, with approximately RM600 million still pending for 2023.
The delay in payment is causing financial strain, affecting the ability to fulfill commitments like salaries and specific projects.
Despite previous timely payments, the delay began around the November 2022 elections, impacting the first payment in March 2023.
Requests for payment were made during various meetings, with promises to review the situation and consider the state election's impact on funding.
The Minister of Finance hinted at a different payment process, possibly requiring project listings for fund allocation.
Detailed project listings were requested for courtesy money usage, leading to delays and difficulties in receiving the full amount.

The issue is causing trust concerns and political tensions, with implications for democracy and the state government's autonomy.

"PAS and UMNO Political Dynamics in 80s"

In the 80s, a strong political atmosphere existed between PAS and UMNO in Terengganu, Kelantan, and Kedah, leading to pressure on PAS members, including being fired or transferred if they showed PAS political tendencies.
Voices from UMNO friends at the time criticized PAS, suggesting that Islamic law implementation would lead to extreme punishments like amputations and stoning, causing tension and hurt between the parties.
Despite accusations of wearing a moderate mask, PAS maintains conservative and fanatical elements, with some supporters viewing those aligned with DAP or PH as less Muslim.
PAS has a significant number of professionals compared to UMNO, but the ulama's leadership, particularly Tuan Guru Hj Hadi, remains paramount, with the final say in decision-making.
PAS strategizes to maximize support from various groups, adapting approaches without altering core policies, aiming to become the main political party in Malaysia.
Dr. Sam's emergence as a prominent figure in PAS is seen as a strategic move to present a more appealing image to Malaysians, potentially leading to wider acceptance and electoral success.
PAS's long-term strategy involves adapting to the country's diverse demographics and priorities, with potential changes in approach and leadership focus depending on the prevailing circumstances.
PAS aims to address concerns about its image by highlighting leaders like Dr. Sam, who offer more nuanced perspectives on issues like concerts, Chinese education, and legal compliance, aiming to broaden acceptance.
The opposition, including PAS, is criticized for focusing more on religious, racial, and royalty issues in parliamentary debates rather than policy matters, potentially hindering constructive discussions and solutions.
Politicians are urged to shift focus from constant political maneuvering to addressing the country's issues and development, considering the increasing number of non-politically affiliated individuals seeking tangible solutions.
