Pernah juga terjadi satu kes yang amat memalukan berlaku dalam sebuah negara umat Islam apabila petugas Majlis Perbandaran Alor Star menemui beratus-ratus kondom di tapak Karnival ‘Sure Heboh’ TV3 yang berlangsung di ibu negeri itu sebaik sahaja ia berakhir dan kerja-kerja pembersihan dilakukan - Harakahdaily (6 Julai)

Bekas Mufti Negeri Selangor Dato' Ishak Baharom menegaskan, menurut Islam apa juga perkara yang boleh melalaikan dan melekakan adalah bertentangan dengan syarak.

"Walaupun ada sedikit baiknya, tetapi buruknya banyak berkait dengan moral dan campurgaul di kalangan bukan muhrim, hukumnya tetap haram," ujarnya.

Beliau turut bersetuju dengan pendapat Mufti Negeri Perak Dato' Seri Haji Harussani Zakaria yang menyatakan konsert 'Sure Heboh’ anjuran TV3 adalah haram kerana program itu melalaikan - Harakahdaily (30 Julai)

Harussani sekali lagi mengulangi kenyataan bahawa semua karnival, konsert serta rancangan hiburan yang keterlaluan, termasuk Akademi Fantasia, Audition dan Malaysian Idol jelas bertentangan dengan hukum syarak, sama seperti Karnival 'Sure Heboh' TV3 - Harakahdaily (3 Ogos)

Bila semua 'heboh-heboh' sudah mengenap, maka sampai pula masanya untuk saya menyampok dan tumpang semangkuk. Dalam masa sebulan ini, saya memaksa diri untuk berkhalwat kerana keteharuan diri akibat membaca di media kita tentang fenomena budaya sosiopolitik negara ini. Terutama tentang proses pembudayaan yang dihadapi oleh susuk Melayu.

Condoms and the power struggle

A most shameful incident has taken place in a Muslim nation. The Alor Setar Municipal Council staff found hundreds of condoms at the site of TV3 Sure Heboh Carnival while cleaning up the area, as reported by Harakahdaily (July 6).

Former Selangor Mufti Ishak Baharom stressed that according to Islam, anything which can make someone negligent or too engrossed is against syarak (Islamic rulings).

"Even though it (the Sure Heboh carnival) has a few good aspects, there were overwhelming negative aspects related to moral issues and the free mixing between the sexes, so the ruling that it is haram (prohibited) remains unchanged," he declared.

He also agreed with the opinion of Perak Mufti Harussani Zakaria who said that the Sure Heboh concert was haram because it made the audience negligent (Harakahdaily, July 30).

Harussani reiterated that all carnivals, concerts and entertainment programmes which were excessive, including Akademi Fantasia, Audition and Malaysian Idol, are clearly against syarak (Harakahdaily, Aug 3).

When the uproar abates, that is the time for me to butt in. For the past month, I have been in self-imposed isolation after reading in the media about our nation’s socio-political culture. The most disturbing aspect was about the cultural development process of the Malay race.
