Nota nota sebelum Muktamar 2011

Oleh: darultauhid

"Sebelum muktamar, pihak pemecahbelah jemaah kembali dengan pelbagai isu. Dalam muktmar 2009, mereka gagal menumbangkan pimpinan TGHH. Mereka tidak diketahui siapa yang membela dan memberi makannya. Politik bagi pihak ini adalah menghalalkan cara. Pengabungan dengan jemaah sangat longgar dan adab berjemaah bagaikan tiada. Motif perjuangan mereka hanya Allah yang tahu. Perubahan yang kita ingini dijalankan dengan pendekatan ‘ilmu hitam’ dan sesat.

Antara isu-isu yang dimarakkan kembali:

Kerajaan Perpaduan

1. Masih ada lagi orang yang mengaku ahli PAS tetapi sering mengalunkan gendang perpecahan dalam jemaah. Mereka cuba mencari ikon tetapi ikon tersebut tidak mahu melayani nafsu mereka. Mereka cuba menyelit dalam nama-nama tokoh PAS terutamanya mantan tokoh IRC, profesional, aktivis dan pemimpin lantang dalam jemaah seperti Abu Iman, Ir Khalid Samad, Dr Mujahid, Dato Mahfuz dan Dato Husam. Tokoh-tokoh tersebut mempunyai idea berbeda tetapi mereka masih lagi waras. Ada dalam kalangan tokoh tersebut sudah berpolitik lebih lama sebelum kita masih tiada lagi.

2. UG ialah lontaran idea bernas daripada TGHH. Ia bukanlah keputusan mesyuarat. Ia hanyalah idea. Kekeliruan ini menyebabkan Presiden PAS menutup buku tentang UG tetapi masih lagi yang berbunyi isu ini. Bagi penulis, sesiapa yang bermain isu UG untuk memburukkan orang adalah berniat jahat dan ejen pemecahbelah jemaah.

3. UG bukanlah bermakna PAS masuk BN tetapi melibatkan semua parti tanpa pembangkang dan tugas kenegaraan dibahagikan berdasarkan peratusan yang diterima parti dalam pilihanraya.

4. Sebenarnya, UG itu sendiri adalah idea yang baik dan bersifat futuristik. Cuma masa dan pendekatan oleh beberapa orang yang mewakili Presiden tidak sesuai.

5. Dr Mujahid Yusof pernah mengutarakan perpaduan ala UG dalam makalahnya dengan nama Kerajaan Perpaduan Nasional atau Kerajaan Persetujuan Nasional dalam menyatukan parti politik yang ada kepada matlamat negara yang lebih besar.

6. Siapa yang suka pada ‘UG’ yang nak selamatkan UMNO. Penggunaan UG ini hanyalah untuk membunuh karekter TGHH kerana hanya rapat dengan UMNO dan kritikkan TGNA sahaja yang boleh membunuh karekter TGHH. Kritikan TGNA dibalaskan penghormatan dan kasih sayang daripada TGHH mengagalkan usaha pembunuh tersebut. Mereka hanya mencalar sedikit imej TGHH dengan memburukkan isu UG. Paling teruk dibelasah dalam isu ini lalah Ustaz Nasha, Dr Hasan Ali, Dato Mustafa Ali dan PAS Terengganu.

7. Membunuh karekter memang mudah tetapi memulihkan kembali cukup sukar.

8. Sewajarnya, rancangan UG ini melambangkan TGHH sebagai negarawan unggul dimana permainan politik bukan berkisar persaingan dan perebutan kuasa untuk menang memerintah negara tetapi melihat impak pertembungan antara parti politik kepada persekitaran politik negara dan pada rakyat. UG membuang keegoan beliau untuk mentadbir negara hanyalah PAS.

9. TGHH telah membenarkan seminar yang membuka ruang beliau dikritik. Beliau mencatat isi-isi pembentang. Siapakah pimpinan politik yang sanggup melakukan perbuatan ini.. Ini menunjukkan keterbukaan dan jiwa besar beliau.

Perundingan

1. Jemaah Islam wajib terbuka dalam berunding dengan semua pihak. Perundingan bukanlah urusan ahli tetapi tugasan pimpinan. Jadi ahli jangan menyibuk diri dengan urusan ini. Sebagai parti dakwah, PAS terbuka untuk berunding dengan semua pihak sama ada rundingan rahsia atau terbuka. Bahkan elemen-elemen Islam berada dimana-mana sahaja.

2. Apabila ahli mula menyibuk dalam perihal bukan urusan mereka dan ada yang mendedahkan maklumat perundingan, ini boleh membawa amalan buruk sangka dalam jemaah.

16 September

1. 16 Sept adalah projek lompat parti. Adakah lompat parti merupakan tindakan bermoral?. Adakah kita sanggup menghalalkan cara untuk memerintah negara?

2. 16 September walaupun dihumorkan tanpa menyatakan tahun, kita beranggapan ia pada tahun 2008.

3. Dari segi teknikal, rancangan ini akan gagal kerana ia berlaku dalam bulan ramadhan dimana parlimen tidak bersidang. Dari politik, agak sukar mencari 30-40 ahli parlimen melompat parti. Jika ini berlaku, politik Malaysia tidak stabil apabila kerajaan boleh tumbang dengan lompat parti.

4. DAP yang mempertuhankan Perlembagaan itu tidak ghairah dengan projek ini.

5. Blogger celaka menyatakan kegagalan 16 disebabkan TGHH tidak mahu tandatangan. Saya tak tahu sejauh mana kebenaran ini. Sebagai wadah Islam, pendekatan lompat parti bukanlah cara PAS.

6. Calon Timbalan Presiden PAS 2011, Muhammad Sabu berkata biar negeri Pakatan Rakyat tunjuk kehebatan dahulu, tunggu PRU 13 dan barulah rakyat menilai gerak kerja PR. Tugas kita menyeru Islam dengan mengajak rakyat menyokong PAS bukan nak suruh orang lompat parti.

TGHH dan Ustaz Nasharudin Mat Isa

1. Antara mangsa cubaan membunuh karekter ialah para pimpinan PAS Terengganu, para ulama, TGHH, Ustaz Nasha, Dr. Hassan Ali, Dato Mustafa, TG Haron Din dan para pimpinan neo tradisionalis Dewan Pemuda PAS Pusat.

2. TG Haron Din dilututkan dengan gelaran ulama kepala lutut.

3. TGHH dengan liabiliti parti. TGHH meminta beliau dicabar sebagaimana pro perubahan mencabar kepimpinan Dato Asri dan kumpulannya. Walapun beliau dinyahkan dengan kegagalan mempertahankan Terengganu dan kegagalan rancangan 16 sept, banyak juga kejayaan yang beliau capai. Keaktifan Lujnah Perpaduan pimpinan Dr Mujahid dengan restu beliau, penyertaan wanita dalam piliharaya dan MSU, penyertaan non muslim mewakili PAS dan terbesar kejayaan PRU 12. Butakah pengkritik beliau?

4. Jangan bicara tentang kemampuan TGHH jika kita bukan pengikut yang membantu beliau dan patuh pada arahannya. Kekuatan pimpinan datang daripada kekuatan pengikut. Saidina Ali pernah ditanya kenapa beliau kelihatan lemah berbanding khalifah yang lain. Saidina Ali menjawab mereka kuat kerana mereka mempunyai pengikut seperti aku manakala aku lemah kerana aku mempunyai pengikut seperti kamu. Saidina Abu Bakar tidaklah handal dalam pemerintahan tetapi beliau dibantu oleh sahabat yang handal seperti Saidina Umar.

5. Jangan samakan TGHH dengan kisah Abu Zar. Abu Zar sejak dari awal Rasulullah menyatakan beliau tidak mempunyai kemampuan dalam pemerintahan. TGHH pula adalah ahli PMRAM, YDP ABIM Terengganu, EXCO Dewan Pemuda, Ideolog parti, Naib dan Timbalan Presiden. Penjawatan ini adalah ujian kemampuan bagi beliau. Prestasi banyak bergantung kepada ‘mood’ semasa. PRU 10, sudah hangat ekoran pembogelan kes Anwar menyebabkan orang Melayu protes. Api kemarahan luar biasa, harakah dan majalah tamadun luar biasa pasarannya. Dan kini, bukanlah ideologi PAS ini yang dijadikan tarikan perjuangan tetapi kesusahan rakyat, kos hidup, kronisme dan rasuah mempengaruhi sokongan rakyat. Maka tidak adil, prestasi TGHH dinilai seperti tahun 1999.

6. Ustaz Nasha dan Dr Hassan dikritik keras kerana terlibat dengan perundingan dan pertemuan.

Kepimpinan Ulama

1. Kepimpinan ulama diburukkan agar imej para ulama dimatikan. Provokasi berterusan.

2. Buat masa ini kepimpinan ulama terus relevan walapun beberapa prinsip jemaah Islam dikembirikan oleh ahli jemaah.

Kebaikan yang Tak Nampak: Ulasan Ustaz Fawwaz TG Fadhil Noor[dengan olahan penulis]

Apakah dengan ustaz nasa berjumpa dengan pemimpin umno dengan restu presiden dianggap sebagai satu kesalahan. Apakah jiwa yang terbuka begitu dianggap tidak sayang pada parti dan perjuangan.Sepatutnya kita sebagai pencinta perjuangan Islam patut berasa bangga dengan sifat berani dan keterbukaan pemimpin utama pas di dalam membuat perubahan politik Malaysia yang lebih mementingkan masalah umat daripada kepentingan parti.Bagi saya,kalau al marhum ustaz fadzil noor masih ada ,beliau pasti merestui tindakan tersebut sebab beliau adalah orang terbuka dan mempunyai jiwa yang tinggi,tidak taasub kepada parti dan sebagainya. Tetapi ustaz hadi pun dan tutup sementara isu kerajaan perpaduan sampai orang ramai faham.Begitulah ijtihad-ijtihad politik yang dibuat oleh pemimpin utama kita yang berpandangan jauh kemudian mereka berhenti seketika sebab tidak mahu ahli-ahli memberontak dan keliru. Tetapi suatu hari nanti ahli-ahli akan faham apa yang diinginkan oleh mereka.Tetapi pandangan sebegini hanya mampu dikeluarkan oleh mereka yang mempunyai pengetahuan yang luas ilmu agama dan memahami reality kehidupan dan tuntutan umat. Mereka yang mampu mengambil faedah daripada ilmu-ilmu silam,hidup dengan zaman dan mampu merancang masa depan untuk terus membawa bahtera Islam menuju kepada kejayaan.

Solusi

Para pemecahbelah ini cuba memperbodohkan perwakilan PAS. Kritiklah dengan adil dan bersopan.. Hentikanlah label melabel dan membunuh karekter pimpinan. Untuk memulih kembali imej TGHH, Ustaz Nasha, Dr Hassan Ali, Dato Mustafa dan Dato Husam menjadi sukar.Saya percaya perwakilan muktmar adalah orang yang bijak. Al Quran dan hadith menyelamatkan pemikiran kita.Kita telah membunuh bakat hang nadim menyebabkan kerugian pada jemaah dan ummah.

Berjuang kerana Allah dan Rasul

Sebelum Tentera Islam bersiap sedia untuk berkumpul di Yarmuk menanti serangan bala Tentera Rom, Khalifah Abu Bakar mengarahkan Panglima Khalid Al-Walid untuk mengambil alih pimpinan daripada Abu Ubaidah termasuk memimpin seluruh bala tenteranya. Abu Ubaidah terus berkata “Mudah-mudahan Allah memberkati khalifah dengan pandangannya dan selamatkan Khalid dengan tugasnya”.

Menariknya kata-kata dari Panglima Abu Ubaidah ini, adalah kerana ia menjadi bukti keikhlasan dan kebesaran jiwa para sahabat sehingga kasih sayang dan ukhuwwah tidak diganggu oleh kepentingan pangkat dan kedudukan sehingga mereka boleh diatur dan ditukar jawatan dengan sebegitu rupa.

Inilah bukti kekuatan iman dan roh yang ada pada setiap para sahabat sehingga 2 kerajaan besar ketika itu iaitu Rom dan Parsi tunduk di bawah kekuasaan ISLAM.

Kemenangan menentang Kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) khususnya Umno adalah sesuatu yang pasti jika PAS memenuhi syarat kemenangan itu untuk melayakkan diri diberi pertolongan dari Allah S.W.T. Apabila kekuatan roh berbekalkan iman dan keikhlasan serta persediaan yang terbaik mengikut kemampuan, bersama taktik dan strategi yang bijak, pertolongan dari Allah S.W.T itu pasti akan berlaku tanpa halangan. Satu petikan yang saya ambil dari karangan Tuan Guru Presiden sendiri, satu karya yang cukup bermakna buat diri saya iaitu “Taktik & Strategi Berpolitik Gaya Khulafa Ar-Rasyidin”.

Pentingnya setiap pejuang gerakan ISLAM khususnya yang berada di dalam PAS melalui proses didikan itu atau proses tarbiyyah itu sepertimana proses yang sama dilalui oleh para sahabat Nabi S.A.W kerana jika tidak, PAS akan melahirkan barisan pimpinan yang lemah untuk memimpin gerakan itu. Dan jika pimpinan itu dipilih dari perwakilan yang juga tidak melalui proses tarbiyyah itu, saya khuatir, PAS tidak akan dapat melayakkan diri untuk menerima pertolongan dari Allah S.W.T sepertimana pertolongan yang telah diberikan kepada para sahabat Nabi suatu ketika dahulu.

Saya khuatir. Saya tidak akan khuatir tanpa bersebab. Semoga pemerhatian saya tersilap atau tersilau dari hakikat sebenar khususnya di kawasan saya sendiri. Pilihlah mereka yang teguh dari aspek akidah dan akhlak, dan juga mereka yang mampu menyatukan semua pihak untuk berjuang ke arah satu matlamat, tidak kira dari kalangan ahli PAS malah dari kalangan parti komponen Pakatan Rakyat itu sendiri khususnya PKR dan DAP.

Bagaimana pentingnya kepimpinan ulama’ untuk membarisi kepimpinan PAS, begitu juga pada pandangan peribadi saya, pentingnya golongan professional untuk juga bersama-sama dalam barisan pimpinan baru kali ini.

Pesanan dari Ayahanda Almarhum Ustaz Hj.Fadzil Noor dari kertas kerja beliau, “Konsep Kepimpinan Dalam Parti Islam Semalaysia”, “Bagi kita ulama’ bukanlah dilihat dari segi pakaian lahirnya tetapi yang kita maksudkan ulama’ ialah mereka yang memahami Islam serta hukum-hukumnya dari sumber-sumber Islam yang diijmakkan iaitu Al-Quran, Al-Sunnah, Al-Ijmak dan Al-Qias. Mereka bukan sahaja terdiri dari kalangan yang mendapat pendidikan dan melalui pengajian agama sejak awal pengajian mereka tetapi mereka juga mungkin terdiri dari kalangan yang pada peringkat awalnya bukan melalui pengajian agama tetapi kemudiannya berusaha untuk mendapat ilmu-ilmu keIslaman seperti yang berlaku di dalam sebahagian dari kepimpinan Islam di dunia sekarang ini. Lantaran itu bukanlah suatu yang mustahil PAS akan dipimpin oleh mereka yang awalnya bukan mendapat pengajian agama tetapi mereka berjaya melayakkan diri memahami dan menguasai ilmu-ilmu keIslaman dan mendapat kepercayaan sebagai pemimpin.”.

Apabila Panglima Khalid Al-Walid dilucutkan jawatan oleh Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab, beliau masih bersama-sama gagah dalam barisan serangan menyerang musuh ISLAM tanpa ada rasa kekecewaan sedikitpun di wajahnya sehingga perlakuan yang dianggap pelik oleh sebahagian ketika itu dijawab dengan penuh yakin oleh beliau “Kerana Allah Dan Rasulnya Aku Berjuang”.

Dan jika kerana itu juga, sebab utama kenapa kita bersama di dalam PAS, pastinya kasih sayang dan ukhuwwah antara kita akan terus dipelihara oleh semua khususnya ketika proses pemilihan pimpinan di peringkat cawangan, kawasan dan pastinya ketika di Muktamar PAS yang ke-57 yang menjelang tiba. Insya Allah.

Yes PM Najib. Let's stick to facts in the Altantuya-murder and subs deal

These are the INDISPUTABLE facts as we know them. So let's stick to them, i.e. the FACTS.

1. Sometime after 2000 when Najib Tun Razak (now Prime Minister) was re-appointed Defence Minister, the Malaysian Government/Ministry of Defence awarded a contract for the purchase of 2 Scorpene Class Submarines to French DCNS naval shipbuilders, through Armaris in partnership with Navantia of Spain, both state owned companies.

2. The cost of the contract which has now been fulfilled, is estimated at RM6.7 billion (exchange rate 1 Euro=RM5) as follows:

* Submarines-Euro 969,000,000 =RM4,845,000,000

* Missiles etc-Euro 257,000,000 =RM1,270.000,000

* Co-ordination & Support Service Fees Euro114,000,000 =RM 570,000,000

3. The co-ordination and support service fees were paid to Perimekar S/B, a Malaysian company originally owned and controlled by Razak Baginda and his wife, magistrate Mazalinda through Ombak Laut S/B, and which was subsequently divested to Boustead Holdings Bhd Plc (BHB). Baginda was head of a Government sponsored think-tank and a close advisor and friend of Najib. The Government, MINDEF, Navy and a Public Accounts Committee inquiry have determined that all proper Government procurement rules, regulations and procedures were adhered to in the award of the contract to Baginda and that it was NOT a Commission.

4. Perimekar was only incorporated in 2001 shortly before the submarine contract was finalised.

5. It is now claimed by some parties that the fees were paid to Perimekar by the Malaysian Government and not by DCNS.

6. The cost of the submarines does not include an annual maintenance contract of RM50 million for 10 years recently awarded to BousteadDCNS, a subsidiary of BHB OR a 20-year escape, search and rescue contract estimated at RM100 million per year i.e. RM 2 billion over 20 years!

7. Allegations about Perimekar and Boustead's qualification and ability to undertake and perform these massive contracts have been questioned as a sham arrangement by Joseph Breham from a team of French lawyers, as well as by French MP’s and politicians who have filed an inquiry with French courts over charges that DCNS indulged in bribery and paid out huge (illegal) kickbacks routinely in such submarine construction and sales contracts. CLICK HERE . DCNS has been fined hundreds of millions of dollars for such irregularities in Taiwan, Pakistan and USA.

8. In 2006 the remains of a Mongolian national, ex-model and translator, Altantuya Shaarribuu, were found in a forest in Shah Alam, Selangor. She had apparently been shot through the head and her body blown up with plastic C4 explosives.

9. Following police investigations, Razak Baginda and two others, Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri, 30, and Corporal Sirul Azahar Umar,35, from the Unit Tindakan Khas or Malaysian Special Action Force Counter Terrorism Unit, were charged with Altantuya's murder. Azilah and Sirul had both been assigned to PM Najib's (deputy PM at the time of the murder) office as his bodyguards.

10. Testimony in court revealed that Altantuya had accompanied Baginda on several trips to France, had an affair with him and arrived in KL demanding US$500,000 from Baginda or threatened to tell all. Baginda was harassed at his home and office by Altantuya and her sisters.

11. Aide-De-Camp to PM Najib, Musa Safri was apparently the officer who had called the three cops who carted Altantuya away in their squad car from outside Razak Baginda’s home.

10. Spotted also outside the gates of Baginda’s house in his car shortly before Altantuya left in the company of Azilah, Sirul and Lance Corporal Rohaniza (Sirul’s lover) was Nasir Safar, a long-time special aide to Najib Razak who in 2010 was forced to resign his post (although to his credit he issued an apology) after making a racist speech about Indians coming to Malaysia as beggars and the Chinese, especially the women, coming here to sell their bodies.

12. At the trial which stretched from June 2007 to April 2009, the following were determined:

* Azilah testified that it was Musa Safri who asked him to contact Baginda to help him out with a “problem.”

* Sirul’s confession that he and Azilah were offered RM100,000 to “take care” of Altantuya and other revelations were not allowed to be admitted into evidence by the presiding judge. Neither Azilah nor Azilah testified as to who made the offer to them.

* Azilah and Sirul maintained till the end they did not kill Altantuya.

* Altantuya’s sister had testified that records of their visit to Malaysia had been erased by Malaysian Immigration and she had seen a photograph of PM Najib, Razak, Altantuya and others having lunch in Paris. PM Najib subsequently took an Islamic oath that he had never met Altantuya personally.

* Razak Baginda, whose lawyer read out an opening statement in which Baginda admitted to the affair with Altantuya, claimed he did not order Altantuya’s murder or have anything to do with it. During a break in the hearing, Baginda had gone berserk shouting ‘Die Pak Lah (M’sian PM up to April 2009) fuelling speculation that some sort of deal was being worked out behind the scenes.

* Baginda was found innocent and acquitted of all charges without his defence being called.

* Azilah and Sirul were found guilty of murder and sentenced to death by hanging. The matter is still pending finality as their appeals against conviction have not been heard.

13. Subsequently, an ex-cop and private investigator, PI Bala, engaged earlier by Baginda to assist and protect him from the blackmailing Altantuya tendered a Statutory Declaration at a press conference claiming, among other matters, that Baginda had told him PM Najib had introduced Altantuya to him and that Musa Safri was fully implicated in Altantuya’s disappearance. Following a visit to the Brickfields Police Station that same evening Bala completely withdrew his first SD the next morning by the device of a second SD denying all earlier allegations. Shortly afterwards, he then fled to India with his family amid swirling rumours he had been paid $5 million to retract his incendiary original SD after negotiations with parties (friends) purportedly linked to PM Najib’s wife and one of Najib’s brothers acting as intermediaries.

14. Then Bala followed up from somewhere overseas with a third SD and information claiming he had only been paid some RM800,000, been cheated of the rest and that his first SD was the true one which he had been coerced into withdrawing under duress!

15. Next, a weeks ago, “Pete” Raja Petra Kamaruddin, who set the nation on fire with his original 2008 posting at http://mt.m2day.org/2008/content/view/6604/84/ “Let’s Send The Altantuya Murderers To Hell” cleared up the misunderstanding that he had accused PM Najib and his wife of direct complicity in Altantuya’s killing in an interview with TV3. Clearly his SD opens with “I have reliably been informed...” which means it was based on hearsay from third parties. But the MSM, many bloggers, web surfers and even the police read what they wanted to read. Pete who was forced into exile in 2009 is now being vilified for his naivete in granting the interview which TV3 chose to air a day before elections in Sarawak and accused of “selling out” to the UMNO/BN Government led by PM Najib.

That’s it in a nutshell!

So, here are some questions that have been plaguing not just me, but I dare say, millions, and not just Malaysians alone:

1. Why were and still appear to be so, the police and AG not keen on finding out who gave the orders to kill Altantuya and establish clearly the motive(s) for her murder?

2. Why didn’t the AG appeal the acquittal of Razak Baginda as is the usual case with such prosecutions? The judge may have presumed that there was no case for Baginda to answer, but what does the AG say about the well put question “you mean two cops woke up one fine morning and decided to off a previously unknown to them Mongolian lady with C4 explosives, just like that?”

3. What was Razak Baginda’s experience and track record in defence and submarine procurement and maintenance that he should have been awarded a RM 570 million “co-ordination and support service fee”? Was it by open tender?

4. What were the scope of these “services” and when and how were the “services” performed and fulfilled?

5. Why was the payment of RM 570 million made IN FULL BEFORE the two Scorpene Submarines were delivered in recent years?

6. In the wake of massive evidence that DCNS has been involved in bribery and huge kickbacks in sham deals, why hasn’t our MACC and police advanced with swift investigations in Malaysia?

7. Why has the impression been given to Malaysian citizens that at the trial, the DPP AND the defence worked in concert to avoid any mention of any link between Altantuya and PM Najib? It’s just a perception, but it’s surely there!

8. What was Razak Baginda’s outburst and threat against ex-PM Abdullah Badawi all about?

9. Who normally has access to C4 explosives in Malaysia?

10. Have any investigations been undertaken to verify if immigration records were indeed erased, and if so, what is the outcome, please? If it is true, who ordered it and with what intention?

11. Who “advised” PI Bala into withdrawing his first SD at Brickfields Police Station?

12. What were the involvement of Musa Safri, who was never called as a witness in the trial, and Nasir Safar in the events leading to Altantuya being spirited away from outside Razak Baginda’s home?

13. A couple of blogs have published purported transcripts of handphone conversations between PM Najib and Razak Baginda's lawyer. Aren’t the police interested in investigating this matter?

I ask these questions not as a kind of cyber Taliban hell bent on tarnishing the good name of our Government and its leaders, but that the resolution of wicked, wanton premeditated murder cannot and must not be mired in continual perception of a MASSIVE COVER UP and that someone got away with bloody murder!

We are tired, no exhausted, by the breathtaking scale of fraud, thievery, embezzlement and looting for which accountability and equally important, prosecution and recovery seem to be nil. More cover ups seem to be in in progress with $12 billion free trade zone ponzi schemes and suspect awards of multi-billion dollar defence contracts for jet planes, helicopters, armoured-wheeled patrol tanks, offshore patrol boats and ships and the like as well other Government and GLC linked procurement involving buses, trains, aircrafts and contracts for construction of bridges, building and directly negotiated property development projects involving Government land.

We are puzzled by vague $10 billion property development projects and $36 billion MRT projects ballooning to a hastily revised $50 billion within a month being sold to us though we are talking about confetti and cornflakes. Broken and bust public listed companies linked to provision of “free lunch” services all sound like the same spindoctor driven bulldozing techniques of authoritarian regimes elsewhere. We are aghast at radiation spewing rare earth projects finding their way to our shores while rejected without a moment’s hesitation by the home country of its proponents, Australia!!

So, increasingly, instead of consulting and consensus we see pretence and spindoctoring. Thus "We are the market leader in Malaysia in Identity verification with over 170 organisation..." Wow, really? Why then has this Plc accumulated losses of nearly $17 million from mainly servicing Government departments and been placed on its de-listing roll call by the KLSE? Invested in R&D without first working out marketing strategies and projecting sales revenues on a reasonable basis first? Is this how Plc's in Malaysia normally work? More spin? In reality, unless the EPF and Government Departments are not strong-armed, they have no reason whatsoever to channel this monopolistic business to a financially and management-wise suspect outsourcing outfits or need to when their own IT Departments can provide the same service if needs be, maintain strict confidentiality and security, and still save oodles of internal overhead costs even more, do they? It sure as hell looks like, smells like and feels like a Government bailout, possibly with elements of nepotism and cronyism thrown in. Three other large shareholders in this Plc are CIMB through Commerce Tech Ventures Bhd (15.45%), Maybank through Mayban Venture Capital Company S/B (9.52%) and Heitech Padu S/B (5.86% of which 23.77% is owned by PNB). Of course, the Drivers will deny it. But why then was a Government Department involved in calling for and assessing tenders if it was "a wholly private sector initiative"?

So, yes PM Najib, shall we call for another Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to resolve once and for all the ALTANTUYA DEBACLE? Even here we have severe doubts. The findings and recommendations of two successive RCI’s in 2008/09, the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) and The Lingam Tapes Inquiry, have not been acted by Government under you, which surely places our King in an embarrassing position. The impression given is that they will NEVER be acted upon by your Government! So, how dare we hope the establishment will take the bull by the horns over Altantuya?

If parenthood is all about being proper role models to our children and leaving behind a sound and lasting legacy, then Governing a nation is about securing agreement for moving forward through consensus. Oh yes, LKY and Dr.Mahathir do not much believe in genuine consultation and consensus because they feel the mass of their people don't have the intelligence to deserve to be consulted and that, anyway, they are all Communists hell bent on destroying progress.

But most like me in Malaysia are not. We are not Communists, racists or religious bigots hell bent on destroying anything other than ignorance, racism, religious bigotry, forced social polarization and the development of a totalitarian state.

So, yes PM Najib, are you game for genuine reforms and justice or will it continue with one set of rules for others and another set for “ONE OF US"?

2 Tok Guru aset umat Islam, bukan sekadar PAS

PASIR PUTEH, 24 April : Dua tokoh utama PAS, Tuan Guru Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat dan Datuk Seri Tuan Guru Abdul Hadi Awang disifatkan aset penting umat Islam, malah untuk seluruh rakyat bukan sekadar kalangan orang PAS semata-mata.

"Nilai mereka berdua dalam memandu seluruh rakyat keluar dari kerenah dan fitnah musuh terlalu besar dan tidak perlu dipertikaikan sesiapa," kata AJK PAS Pusat, Datuk Seri Ir Mohammad Nizar Jamaludin.

Kegigihan dan keputusan tepat mereka, kata beliau menyebabkan perancangan-perancangan Umno merosakkan Islam dan rakyat negara ini dapat ditepis dengan baik.

"Sejak Umno menggunakan khidmat nasihat APCO (yang dikaitkan dengan Yahudi) dan merencana pelbagai taktik untuk merosakkan PAS dan Islam, kita amat bertuah kerana kedua-dua pemimpin ini terus komited mempertahankan kesucian Islam dan harapan rakyat," kata beliau di majlis pemimpin bersama rakyat yang diadakan di dewan utama Majlis Daerah ini, petang kelmarin.

Menurutnya, meskipun kedua-dua tokoh ini amat tinggi pengetahuan mereka tentang Islam dan pelbagai ilmu lain, mereka sentiasa berbincang dan mengambil pandangan semua pihak dalam memutuskan setiap perkara.

"Dalam jawatankuasa pusat (PAS) kami kerapkali terpaksa melanjutkan perbincangan hingga pukul tiga, empat pagi kerana mereka mahu semua pandangan di dengar sebelum satu keputusan dibuat demi kebaikan umat dan rakyat," tegas beliau yang juga ahli Parlimen Bukit Gantang.

Beliau meminta ahli-ahli PAS dan rakan-rakan yang mahu bersama memperjuangkan keadilan dan keselamatan menggunakan segala ruang untuk memberikan sokongan besar kepada tokoh seumpama ini yang tujuan hidup mereka semata-mata mencari redha Allah dan mengharap kesejahteraan rakyat.

Sebelum itu, Ahli Parlimen Pasir Puteh, Ustaz Muhammad Husain dalam ucapannya memberi amaran kepada Umno supaya menghentikan kegiatan tidak bermoral dengan memfitnah dan menyebarkan berita-berita palsu yang mengelirukan orang ramai.

"Di peringkat nasional, rakyat sudah muak dengan fitnah hodoh seperti diperlakukan kepada Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim hingga anak-anak kecil kebingunan dengan apa yang dilaporkan di media.

"Di Pasir Puteh ini, media digunakan untuk menyebar berita palsu kononnya berduyun-duyun ahli PAS masuk Umno," katanya.

Di sebelah pagi telah diadakan mesyauarat agung muslimat PAS kawasan Pasir Puteh di tempat yang sama.

"Pagi ini kita adakan masyuarat (agung) muslimat di sini, perwakilan yang hadir hampir 600, ini membuktikan segala dakwaan bahawa orang kawasan ini begitu ramai masuk Umno satu pembohongan," ujar beliau.

Sarawak DAP eyeing more rural seats

Following its mega success in the recent state polls, Sarawak DAP is now eyeing four Dayak-majority parliamentary seats.

KUCHING : In the coming parliamentary election, Sarawak DAP is targeting Mas Gading, Mambong, Serian and Sri Aman which are Dayak majority constituencies as part of its aim to shed away its image as a Chinese party.

“Even though the four parliamentary seats are Dayak majority, there are however substantial numbers of Chinese voters,” said state DAP secretary Chong Chieng Jen.

“I believe we have every good chance of winning the seats for the Pakatan Rakyat coalition in the coming parliamentary polls,” he said, pointing out that the party was also encouraged by its recent electoral success when it won 12 seats out of 15 it contested.

The Mas Gading constituency has 23,199 voters, of which about 1,500 are Chinese voters, whereas in Mambong, the total electorate is about 38,307, made up of 10,544 Chinese voters.

As for Serian, there are about 4,000 Chinese voters in the 29,969-strong electorate, and in Sri Aman, there are 27,064 voters, 4,555 of them are Chinese voters.

DAP is also eyeing eight more state seats – Opar, Bengoh, Tarat, Tupong, Satok, Kedup and Balai Ringin in the next state polls, he said.

The party’s targets are encouraged by the good response given by the Dayaks to the DAP candidates in the recently concluded election.

The party’s victories in Batu Kawah and Kota Sentosa were in part due to the support given by the Dayak voters.

“The support of Dayak voters for me was very encouraging in Kota Sentosa,” Chong said, pointing out that there are more than 5,000 Dayak voters in that constituency.

PKR should contest in less seats

Chong said that the party was forming branches in Opar, Bengoh and Tarat, adding that in order to win these rural seats, the party has to start early.

“I will propose to the state DAP which will meet today (Sunday) in Sibu that we contest these eight seats and four parliamentary seats in future elections,” said Chong.

“This is in view of the fact that part reasons of PKR’s failure to win more seats are because it lacked financial resources, poor election machinery and weak manpower.

“This is openly admitted by Sarawak PKR chairman Baru Bian himself,” he said, suggesting that PKR should not contest in 49 seats which had over-stretched their resources.

“Even before the election, we had proposed to contest seats like Balai Ringin and Bengoh. It was PKR’s insistence that they contested the seats claiming they had enough resources and to deliver the seats to Pakatan.

“Initially we asked for 18 seats and the number of seats to be contested by us were reduced to 16 and then 15, and finally we gave in order to preserve unity in the Pakatan Rakyat,” he said.
