Isu-isu agama dan sekularisme dalam ruang sosio-politik di Malaysia(Issues of religion and secularism in the socio-political space in Malaysia)

Abstract


Hasrat untuk menyebarluaskan teori modenisasi sebagai formula pembangunan yang ajaib ke seluruh dunia telah dilaksanakan dengan jayanya oleh barat. Pada permukaannya barat berpandangan bahawa nikmat kehidupan yang mereka nikmati hasil daripada kemajuan dan pembangunan yang mereka capai perlu dikongsi bersama dengan manusia lain di dunia ini.  Agar dengan itu semua orang boleh mengecapi nikmat kehidupan moden yang mereka rasai.  Lalu mereka menggunakan kaedah kolonialisme dan imperialisme dalam usaha memastikan hasrat tersebut terlaksana sepenuhnya. Pada dasarnya mereka mempunyai strategi agar pasaran sentiasa wujud untuk barang dagangan hasil revolusi industri, sekaligus menjamin ekonomi mereka mansang selamanya. Pakej kolonialisme dan imperialisme turut memuat sekali pandang dunia yang, menurut mereka, sesuai untuk membangun dan maju cara mereka. Pandang dunia tersebut sama sekali berbeza dengan pandang dunia lokal yang mereka jajahi.  Sekularisme merupakan pandang dunia yang datang bersekali dalam kerangka teori modenisasi. Sejak itu, dari segi falsafah sosial, bermulalah konflik pengisian ruang sosio-politik lokal antara agama dan sekularisme. Situasi sebegini turut terjadi di Malaysia.

The desire to spread the theory of modernization as a magical formula of development throughout the world has been successfully implemented by the west. Generally, the west views a good life as a result of the advancement and development they had achieved, should be shared with another human being in this world. So with that everyone can enjoy the fruit of modern life that they feel. Thus, they manupulated the methods of colonialism and imperialism to ensure their goals are fully realized. Basically, they assert strategic approach to ensure the market existence on the trade production from their industrial revolution, as well as to guarantee the economic sustainability. The package also includes colonialism and imperialism worldview, of which, according to them, is a way to develop and progress. This worldview is totally dissimilar from the worldview of the local colony. Secularism is a world view that has come together within the framework of modernization theory. Since then, in terms of social philosophy, the conflict between religion and secularism began filling the local socio-political space. This situation also occurred in Malaysia.
