>
>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 put PAS in the "right mood" as it's members converge to the

>
>Feeling good over the rankings must also be Malaysiakini.com's Gan and 
>Chandran.
>
>Asiaweek view them as the "thorn in the side of of the establishment" in a 
>Malaysia where "the truth hurts, the mainstream media rarely publish 
>articles critical of the powers that be".
>
>And with "less compliant organs aligned to opposition political parties, 
>Malaysiakini is the country's only credible independent voice ".
>
>Congratulation to Gan and friends is in order here. Ironically 
>Malatysiakini's "nemesis" (for that matter many others surely) Dr Mahathir 
>has been ranked way below them.
>
>Asiaweek acknowledges that Dr Mahathir is impossible to ignore whether "you

>
>The 75 year old doctor has ruled Malaysia "with an iron hand for two

>
>"Lately however, his position has shown signs of weakening. The jailing of

>
>"More recently Mahathir had brandished the race card once again. Though he

>
>However Asiaweek is aware that "Mahathir has proven himself to be a wily

>
>Mahathir's 39th position also see him "losing" out to ousted Philippine
