Hadi Awang is Asia's 7th most powerful man.
Mahathir ranked 39th
by Mohsin Abdullah
KUALA LUMPUR,27 May ( Hrkh ) - Terengganu Menteri Besar Haji Hadi Awang has
been selected Asia's seventh most powerful personality by Asiaweek
magazine, way ahead of Prime Minister Dato' Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad who is
at the 39th spot in the list of 50.
And ranked 21 steps higher than Dr Mahathir are Malaysiakini.com founders
Steven Gan and Premesh Chandran. Gan and Chandran are ranked 18 in the list
which is headed by Falungong spritual leader Li Hongzhi.
This is Asiaweek's sixth annual ranking of the region's 50 most powerful
people. Named Power 50, the list is published in the latest issue of
Asiaweek as well as in it's website.
According to Asiaweek's Richard Hornik, the sea change in Asia has shaped
the selection process for this year's ranking of 50 personalities we
believe are changing not just the face of Asia but its mind and soul.
By sea change he meant the current climate in Asia where Asians can talk
to each other unencumbered by status, subordinatates can question superiors
and ideas compete on their own merit, not on the rank of their originator.
Hornik attributed that to the advent in the past five years of the
internet, e-mail and mobile phones and the continued blossoming of
satellite broadcasting which he said had flattened the structure of what
can be labelled as old Asia.
Asia's elders -- political, social and business leaders- said Hornik had
long clung to the strictly vertical, top down communication pattern handed
down over the centuries.
Fathers did not discuss the whys and wherefores of the strictures they
imposed on their children. Rulers told citizens what was good for them.
Bosses told employees how to do their jobs.
Perhaps that explains Dr. Mahathir's poor standing, in the Power 50 list.
And hence the selection of Li as the number one personality who according
to Hornik has in just nine years built from scratch a movement numbering
in the tens of millions.
His followers are so committed to him that he has rattled China's
encrusted leadership.
In spite of Beijing's draconian steps to quash the movement - and the
relatively dated technologies of audio and video cassettes used by Li's
disciples - Falungong's following continues to grow, wrote Hornik in a
report as a prelude to the Power 50 list.
As for Hadi, Asiaweek have this to say: In the political struggle for the
Malay soul, Hadi Awang delivers a powerful message. He speaks as deputy
president and chief ideologue of Malaysia's biggest opposition party, Parti
Islam Se Malaysia ( PAS ).
He governs as chief minister of northern Terengganu state. He writes as an
Islamic scholar for Harakah newspaper. And he sermonizes each week at the
mosque near his home.
Yet simpliciity, morality, compassion and humility - the fundamentals of
Islam - are Hadi's calling cards.
He practices what he preaches, spurning the chief minister's mansion to
reside in the small village house in which he was raised.
For a growing number of Malay voters, disillusioned by cronyism,
corruption and crass materialism, that example speaks louder than any
words.
Asiaweek note that opponents paint Hadi 53, as a dangerous zealot
determined, they say, to hide women behind veils and to ban alcohol,
karaoke, gambling and everything else that smacks of decadent fun.
But even regular attackers in the state controlled media must walk a
delicate line. The electoral mood has not escaped Prime Minister Mahathir
Mohamad .
Calling Dr Mahathir an avowed secularist, Asiaweek feels the Prime
Mminister is now frantically trying to push UMNO closer to the country's
Islamic mood.
That, as Asiaweek see it, is a win win situation for PAS, which has only
an outside chance of breaking UMNO's 43 year stranglehold on power at the
next general poll in 2004.
And say Asiaweek, if PAS does come through Hadi is the pick of the party
bunch. Saved for the mistake on the location of Terengganu (the magazine
have the state in the northern region of the country instead of eastern),
such observation by Asiaweek is indeed a glowing tribute not only to Hadi
but to components of the Alternative Front and of course to PAS itself.
That should
