| Power Points | For a decade in parliament the fiery orator has espoused his dream of an Islamic state. As chief minister of Trengganu, he now has a chance to promote Islam as a way of life. Since his November election, Hadi has closed down many of the state's liquor shops, karaoke joints, massage parlors and gambling outlets, and Muslim women have been told to wear veils. But Hadi's biggest impact has been on a national scale, putting the issue of Islamization high on the political agenda - and forcing UMNO to re-evaluate its own position.
