November 2011, Yusuf Islam and Elections?

Singer and Muslim preacher Yusuf Islam visited Malaysia again after a 5 years 
laps and after at least one failed attempt to bring him to sing at Kuala Lumpur 
two years ago. This time, invited and sponsored by a group closer to YB Zul 
Nordin, the former PKR Parkiament member who was kicked out for his attacks 
against the Pakatan, his visit smelled more of politics than of religious 
propaganda.

Zul Nordin had taken up the responsibility to email most of the local press - 
pro Umno and BN indeed - to inform of the visit of Yusuf Islam to Malaysia. In 
the press release, Zul Nordin indicated the following: "this visit is 
significant and special as he is for the first time scheduled to have an 
audience with His Majesty Tuanku Mizan Sultan Zainal Abidin, The Yang Di 
Pertuan Agong of Malaysia, as well as calling on The Rt Honourable Datuk Seri 
Mohd Najib Tun Razak, The Prime Minister of Malaysia."

Some newspapers even published a photo of the famous singer - said to be the 
most reknown Muslim convert on earth by the press release = with the Malaysian 
Prime Minister. It looked like the papers were saying, there it is, this is the 
'Islamic credentials' of Malaysia and of its Premier! A good political scoop for 
the BN (so they think) in these times when Malaysia's credentials as an Islamic 
state is being questioned by the opposition, especially by Anwar Ibrahim.

The press release also indicated the following: "Given his express driven 
schedule, we are nevertheless looking forward to the possibility that we may be 
able to welcome Sheikh Yusuf again next year for his world tour concert in 
which he has indicated that Malaysia may indeed be a distinct and desirable 
venue."

Yusuf Islam will be here, most probably it is said, in November 2011. The date 
Nov 2011 is the date that appears in Zul Nordin's email to the press, instead of 
November 2010 which was the scheduled visit of Yusuf Islam this year. A silly 
mistake or an indication that elections will be around the corner by November 
2011 when Yusuf Islam will be re-visiting Malaysia to propagate his 'World 
peace tour'?
