UMNO SANGGUP LAKUKAN APA SAHAJA DEMI KUASA?

Dari Kacamata : HALIK ZAMAN

AGAK melucukan dan terhibur juga apabila melihatkan telatah badut-badut UMNO/BN huru-hara sibuk membuat laporan polis gara-gara ‘kata-kata hikmat’ daripada Zahrain di Parlimen tempohari; kononnya Dato’ Seri Anwar membabitkan Yang Di Pertuan Agung dan Angkatan Tentera Malaysia berhubung perkara 16 September.

Kalau dilihat badut-badut ini sebenarnya orang professional tapi atas sebab-sebab kondisi politik UMNO/BN yang agak kritikal, maka badut-badut ini bertindak sebagai anak-anak tadika yang keriangan mendapat makanan percuma.

Tidakkah mereka terfikir bahawasanya tuduhan Zahrain lebih berbentuk sebagai 'hearsay evidence', tiada hitam di atas putih, atau lebih tepat lagi dalam bahasa perundangan, No Hard-Copy Evidence. Bukankah ini membebankan anggota polis untuk buat suatu siasatan yang ternyata kurang intelek?

Inilah sebab sebabnya terlalu banyak jenayah pencolikkan, samun, rompak, curi, bunuh dan bakar gereja sebab polis tidak ada masa mengawal jenayah kerana polis terlalu sibuk jaga politik Anwar Ibrahim, PKR dan Pakatan Rakyat.

Ternyata UMNO/BN semakin ‘desparado’ sehingga sanggup berkelakuan keanak-anakan demi menyelamatkan UMNO/BN yang kini di ambang keberkecaian. Untuk UMNO/BN, mereka sanggup berbuat apa sahaja hatta melaksanakan jenaka yang kurang bernas dan tidakkah mereka sedar rakyat Malaysia menganggap apa yang sedang berlaku kini merupakan suatu lawak jenaka yang tidak melucukan tetapi memalukan imej UMNO/BN?

Ibrahim Ali Pendek 'yang kekurangan ketinggian' itu juga mengambil kesempatan dalam kesempitan, dengan berlagak seperti 'Hang Celaka' mengamuk macam orang yang kekurangan akal dalam Parlimen. Menunjukkan lagak yang kononnya bertindak membela, mempamerkan kemarahan dengan melemparkan kertas-kertas dengan wajah yang bengis. Aduh, hebat sekali lakonan Pak Ibrahim ini. Boleh ganti pelakon Ibrahim Pendek.

Pak Ibrahim, sedarlah sedikit, anda pun bertanding di PRU12 yang lepas atas tiket PAS! Sebab hajat hati nak tanding atas tiket UMNO, tak kena layan, makanya PAS bermurah hati menawarkan Pak Ibrahim atas tiket PAS. Dia sedar atau tidak, yang dia menang tu sebab pengundi memangkah undi kerana PAS dan bukan kerana Pak Ibrahim yang 'melucukan' kerana tidak cukup tinggi tu.

Agaknya kalau Pak Ibrahim pakai lambang sendiri atau BN tidak tahulah adakah orang mahu mengundi beliau ada tidak? Wallahualam bisawab.

Jika di rasakan oleh Najib bahawa situasi politik semasa tidak stabil, apa kata bubarkan sahaja kerajaan UMNO/BN kita dapatkan mandat baru dari rakyat dengan mengadakan pilihanraya umum semula.

Walau macam manapun, kita percaya PM tidak sebegitu tegar untuk berbuat demikian kerana PM kita amat yakin, BN hanya akan tinggal nama selepas itu. Jadi untuk mengelakkan dari ianya berlaku, BN akan memainkan agenda-agenda kartun yang tidak bermoral dengan harapan, rakyat akan kembali ke pangkuan busuk 'UMNGOK'.

Nizar : From national outcast to toast of London

Mariam Mokhtar
Tuesday, 23 March 2010 14:08

ANWAR has charisma, but Nizar oozes sincerity. That was the verdict of a core of devoted followers after three successive days of lectures in London.

They were captivated by the oratory skills and engaging manner of Perak’s ousted mentri besar. He possesses indomitable spirit. He seems passionate in his political convictions. And he is not weighted down by personal baggage. Many opined that he is a future prime minister of Malaysia.

Nizar Jamaluddin’s talk at Imperial College, “The Challenges of Islam and Democracy in Malaysia”, was an impromptu event attended by 100 people, mostly Malaysians studying or working in England. They weren’t all Ipohites or Perakians; some were lured by curiosity.

Over the past few days, Malaysians have been very supportive of the talks by Anwar Ibrahim and Nizar.

So, is this crowd starved of Malaysian news, repulsed by mainstream media reports or simply bored? Or could it be the imminence of a general election, and these people have lost patience with BN’s conduct after decades in power?

Have they finally been stirred into action to find out more about what goes on ‘back home’?

Or have the politicians decided to extend the battlefield, fighting for hearts and minds of Malaysians, by enlisting their support abroad?

If we were to crystallise the feelings of fury against an out-of-touch Umno elite, then BN would be thrashed, if the votes of Malaysians abroad were included.

It was alleged by members of the audience, that at one time, Malaysians, living in the UK, could cast their votes at the High Commission. Apparently, this right to vote in a Malaysian election ended in the 1960s.

Nizar’s delegation included the state assemblyman for Titi Serong, Dr Khalil Idham Lim and Perak PAS deputy commissioner Dr Asmuni Awi.

The ex-Perak mentri besar opened his lecture with a short blessing and a passage from the Quran (5/8) “Oh you who believe…” Throughout his talk, his emphasis was on restoration of trust, establishing truth and on being just.

'Tactical advantage' of governance

He guided us from Pakatan’s ‘birth’ in Perak, at 3am on 9 February 2008, through the pangs of afterbirth and the inevitable early demise of his government.

If Kelantan was the precedent, then Perak was a wake-up call for BN. That is why Perak is the watershed in Malaysian political history, and BN was prompted by the old saying, “drastic times call for drastic measures”.

We may feel that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak should be concentrating his efforts on reviving the economy or tackling the two million illegal migrant labour problem or corruptions in high office or unexplained deaths of people in custody. We may find it distasteful for BN to shamefully tarnish Pakatan’s reputation, as part of their programme of ‘drastic measures’.

But those who think that BN is being distracted from the true business of government are missing the point entirely.

The business of government under Najib is the day-to-day tactical advantage in politics. Sullying the characters and sabotaging the good efforts of Pakatan is how BN operates.

In a previous by-election, BN had accused Nizar of selling out the Malays by giving land titles to the Chinese. But what had been omitted by the BN-controlled media is that he had also given 7,000 acres of land (1,200 residential lots) to the Malays for planned villages.

He explained that 134 new villages were created during the Emergency and that two or three generations of Chinese had since occupied these plots, but had never been given land-titles. Incredulously, his efforts to be just and equal earned him the title of ‘DAP stooge’.

Rich then, poor now

Nizar related how he first entered politics and that although he gained morally, he lost financially. He expressed his disgust at the scant attention being paid to the Perak budget.

Perak was at one time, one of the richest states in Malaysia. Malaysia then, was comparable with the economies of Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea.

Today, we are a shadow of the economies of Vietnam and Indonesia. But when Brazilian industrialists insist that any disputes must be heard in the Singapore courts, this is the most damning indictment of investor-confidence.

It is a mockery that the senior woman Perak Exco member who utters racist remarks against the Indians, is the one who is also promoting Najib’s 1Malaysia. A member of the audience also wondered if Malaysia replaced one form of colonialism for another – ketuanan Melayu.

In fact, it is encouraging to find an audience composed of young people, both male and female, intelligent and articulate, concerned and passionate about the governance of Malaysia.

'Biggest tragedy'

But will they fulfill Nizar’s dream of restoring integrity to Malaysian politics, by returning a democratic government which is decided by the people and not by a court? Or will these fine brains, who are experienced and been exposed to various influences, precipitate what he terms the “biggest tragedy”, if they were to return and support Umno?

The road to Merdeka was one of unity, with the three major races working together to achieve their ‘own rule’; therefore, it seems ironic that they traded their freedom for shackles in body (ISA detentions), spirit (draconian laws) and mind (BTN).

Who says there is democracy and freedom of expression in Malaysia?

These talks were at London universities, with a Malaysian audience, expressing differing views, in an amiable environment. In stark contrast, students are threatened with disciplinary action when they tried to attend a national university students’ congress in Petaling Jaya.

Nizar’s wish was for returning Malaysians to reject BN’s race-based politics. Although the internet is a powerful tool for Malaysians living abroad to access news about home, the same cannot be said for those living in rural areas of Malaysia.

If kampong communities are to be transformed, and the attitudes of voters to be influenced or directed, Nizar must go out and meet them head-on, just as he did in London.

If not, the consequences will be disastrous. — Malaysian Mirror

Parti Cinta Malaysia kacau daun, PAS Miri

Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) Miri melabelkan Parti Cinta Malaysia (PCM) sebagai ‘pengacau’ dan tidak lebih sekadar satu usaha terdesak Barisan Nasional (BN) untuk memecahkan undi Pakatan Rakyat menjelang pilihan raya negeri akan datang.

Pengerusi PAS Miri, Jofri Jaraiee memberitahu, bagaimanapun mereka tidak gentar dengan ‘pengacau’ tersebut malah yakin pengundi tidak akan terpengaruh dengan usaha buruk BN.

Jelasnya, jentera parti kini sudah siapa siaga untuk melakukan kejutan, ditambah dengan kerjasama erat bersama Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Parti Tindakan Demokratik (DAP) dan Parti Kebangsaan Sarawak (SNAP) untuk menghadapi pilihan raya negeri.

“Dengan gerak kerja yang berterusan bermula dari pilihan raya 2006 lalu serta sokongan penduduk tempatan, kita yakin dapat membawa sinar baru. Ini akan diterjemahkan pada pilihan raya nanti,” katanya ketika dihubungi hari ini.

Dalam pada itu, Pas Miri menghormati pendirian setiap komponen Pakatan Rakyat (PR) kerana setiap kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) pada dasarnya, secara kolektif calon sama ada SNAP, PKR, DAP akan dibantu dan disokong oleh Pas sepenuhnya.

“Kita meletakkan kepercayaan penuh terhadap kepimpinan Pusat dan Negeri dalam mengesahkan calon yang akan bertanding bagi kesemua 71 kerusi di Sarawak.”

“Kita juga menyatakan sokongan penuh pada cadangan pertembaungan satu lawan satu antara PR dan BN, kerana dengan kukuhnya jentera ini, kami yakin pilihan raya kali ini membawa tsunami politik seperti yang berlaku pada 2008,” katanya.

Anwar given a week to explain 'One Israel' dig (Part I & II)

Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim has been given a week to substantiate his claim that the federal government has employed a public relations firm which conceptualised the 'One Israel' campaign. In the Dewan Rakyat today, Kota Belud MP Abdul Rahman Dahlan cited Standing Orders 37(1) and 36 (12) to accuse Anwar of misleading the House. Standing Order 37(1) allows for any member of the House to interrupt proceedings in order to bring attention to a matter which is in breach of the Standing Orders.



... Minister in charge of parliamentary affairs Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz then stood up and told Kiandee that the government is of the view that Anwar should given a week to back up his claims, considering that he is not in the House to respond directly.

"The accusation is very serious... we propose that Permatang Pauh be given one week to respond or to correct his statement."

Should Anwar fail to provide a satisfactory explanation, Nazri said the government would move a motion to refer him to the rights and privileges committee.

"This is not a ruling. I have not made a ruling. I am only agreeing with the minister in order to provide a solution," said Kiandee.

Anwar has just returned from London as part of a global campaign to drum up support in relation to the Sodomy II trial.
