UMNO have no problems with such business forays but since Umno makes so much noise about kilang arak in Selangor (which they approved) and arak being sold in 7-Eleven in Shah Alam, 0.01% or 15% of Mirzan’s business comprising alcoholic beverage production makes no difference as both are still haram.
Also, Mahathir in his Bukit Gantang speech accused PR of memfitnah his son as having a stake in the arak business. Now his son admits it. So it is not a fitnah after all., Mahathir’s son, but the fact remains that you are willingly involved in a BREWERY company.
You really don’t know what that means and what San Miguel is, or you just don’t care? So how come DS Najib insists UMNO is Islamic?
Anak Borek, Bapa Rintek.
Intoxicants are forbidden in Islam. That’s a fact. Muslims are forbidden not only from consuming it, but also selling it. It’s not a matter of whether you’re “conservative” or not. So what is the point of classifying stocks into Syariah Compliant and non-compliant stocks then? Double standards have never been so pronounced!!!
The MUSLIM WORLD is watching . . .
Mana Mufti Umno Harusini pergi.. Kita orang Melayu nak dengar penjelasan dari orang yang alif dalam agama sebab kamu adalah kumpulan yang betul-betul beriman.. Mirzan or even Mahathir….you ppl needs conversion. Talk more or less meant nothing to you or us as Muslim…. planting the seeds,processing,preparing,selling and consuming remains HARAM in Islam.. .....
So is it right or wrong for Mirzan Mahathir to own shares in San Miguel Corp which which control 51% of San Miguel Brewery? What he claimed is akin to a drug pusher saying ‘I am not using drug.
We just produce for the users to use’ dont you think so? furthermore, i tot it is a sin for muslim to have income/earning from ‘haram’ things like gambling,alcohol , etc. i mebe wrong sori, anyway with all the hoo haa on caning a muslim for drinking beer, there is an article in margeemar blog on ‘guess who is the person in the pic having beer… hehehehe, go and have a look and try to guess who……ahaha and since you are there, also check out ‘whose son is having beer too…....
UMNO as declared by PM Najib is an Islamic party, but what it preaches does not confine to strict Islamic practices.
Besides Mirzan, go check how many Muslim board directors of Genting, Resorts World, Carlsberg, Guinness Anchor, Magnum, Sports Toto & 4D companies are taking these haram monies year in & year out. Muslims are not allowed to work in casinos but they can buy 4D & sports toto bettings freely without checks.
Annually UMNO-lead govt collect heavy taxes from these haram companies in paying salaries to its 1.2 million civil servants. Take the case of our own Genting Group which like San Miguel Corp is a conglomerate deriving a substantial portion of its income from the gaming business which is haram to Muslim. I believe that our government linked companies or trusts are not allowed to own Genting shares.
But Genting pays both gaming tax and corporation tax to the Malaysian government. In effect, though not in the legal sense, the Malaysian government is like a “shareholder” of Genting because like all shareholders of companies, the government shares in the profit of Genting by way of taxation.
So how does the government spend this “sin tax”? Does the government have a separate account where all the sin taxes are to be deposited and are to be spent only for the benefit of non-Muslim since this money is haram or is the money deposited in the government’s consolidated account from which money can be drawn to pay for all sorts of expenditure for the benefit of everyone, whether Muslim or non-Muslim? Recently a Muslim friend wrote to me that its Ok for a Muslim to handle pigs and dogs, but forbidden to handle alcoholic drinks or gambling business.
This was after the pictures of a young Muslim girl with tedung holding up a piglet and hugging a dog. By the way Mirzan was clarifying that it is alright if alcoholic drinks is just a small part of the company’s business, right Mirzan?
It's a hypocritic view to say that alcoholic drinks and gambling are haram in Islam and yet getting involve in its business because of its lucrative profits.
Using the tax money from haram business to built buildings and facilities is unforgivable.
