Slogan baru rakyat - ABU! (anything but UMNO) atau (asalkan bukan UMNO)

Posted: 26 Oct 2011 04:51 PM PDT

Tetapi kawan rapat saya memberi komen sinis yang jika himpunan itu hendak bercakap kepada 1 juta umat maka pengelola perhimpunan itu terpaksa mengadakan 200 kali perhimpunan seperti itu untuk menyukupkan jumlah 1 juta itu.

Satu hakikat yang sangat jelas ialah jika apa-apa perhimpunan itu di anjurkan oleh kumpulan yang ada kaitan dengan parti pemerintah begitulah keadaan sambutannya. Persepsi rakyat begitu rendah terhadap parti pemerintah dan kedatangan seramai 5000 orang dari seluruh negara itu sudah boleh di anggap berjaya jika di bandingkan dengan persepsi rendah orang ramai terhadap pemerintah.

Ramai dari rakan-rakan yang saya temui beberapa hari sebelum perhimpunan itu diadakan meramalkan yang kedatangan dan sambutan terhadap perhimpunan itu adalah rendah. Masing-masing memberi sebab masing-masing dengan andaian masing-masing.

Tetapi yang pasti himpunan 1 juta umat itu adalah perhimpunan yang dipengaruhi oleh politik dan di sabitkan pula dengan penglibatan parti-parti dalam BN walaupun penganjurnya adalah di atas nama NGO. PAS dan parti-parti lain memang tidak terlibat dengan perhimpunan itu. Yang mampu membawa keluar ramai umat ialah parti-parti dari PR dan tidak ada mana-mana perhimpunan anjuran BN atau kumpulan yang bersimpati dengan BN itu berjaya mengumpulkan umat yang ramai.

Isu tuduhan BN terhadapa kristian yang berusaha memurtadkan orang Islam itu (jika benar pun) tidak mungkin boleh di selesaikan dengan perhimpunan seperti itu. Jika kita sayangkan agama kita orang Islam mesti di hormati dan untuk mendapatkan penghormatan itu hanyalah dengan menunjukan kita sebagai seorang Islam yang baik lebih-lebih lagi kepada pemimpin-pemimpin yang beragama Islam.

Menjadi pemimpin bukannya satu kerja mudah. Pemimpin mesti menunjukan kewibawaan yang tinggi dan jika di pandang dari sudut keagamaan pemimpin-pemimpin kita harus menunjukan yang mereka betul-betul menghormati dan menjunjung agama kita dengan tahap yang sewajarnya.

Kita terlalu obses bercakap pasal Islam tetapi rakyat nampak jelas pemimpin kerajaan sendiri melanggar Islam dengan tidak merasa malu dan silu. Melakukan rasuah adalah bertentangan dengan Islam dan Islam menyamakan perasuah itu sebagai orang yang memakan daging saudaranya sendiri. Bagaimana sebuah kerajaan yang menjadikan Islam sebagai modal politik sedangkan apa-apa yang dilakukan itu semuanya bertentangan dengan kehendak Islam.

Dalam lapuran Ketua Audit negara yang baru dikeluarkan itu nampak jelas tidak ada Islamnya lagi. Barang yang berharga RM 400 dibeli oleh jabatan-jabatan yang terlibat dengan harga lebih dari seribu ringgit.

Pembelian alat keperluan angkatan tentera yang Def Tech boleh bekalkan dengan harga RM450 juta dibekalkan dengan harga lebih dari RM5 billion. Dimana Islamnya dan dimana amanahnya sebagai pemimpin yang beragama Islam. Apa semuanya ini?

Apabila rakyat yang terdesak pergi meminta bantuan dari pihak gereja walaupun tidak ada bukti mereka dimurtadkan maka semua mereka (kerajaan) mempolitikannya dan mengadakan perhimpunan sejuta umat pula.

Rakyat ramai yang terdesak kehidupannya tetapi mereka mendengar pemimpin-pemimpin melakukan kerja yang menyakitkan hati mereka. Mereka mendengar isteri-isteri pemimpin melalui TV memakai emas berlian berkarat-karat beratnya. Tas tangan kepunyaan setengah isteri- isteri pemimpin kita berharga ratusan ribu ringgit bagi satu beg tangan itu.

Kalau dikaji latar belakangnya bukannya datang dari keluarga yang kaya-raya pun. Mereka semuanya datang dari taraf sosial yang tidak jauh bezanya dengan kita semua ini. Sikap menunjuk-nunjuk ini selalunya dilakukan oleh mereka yang berlatar belakangkan mereka yang baru jumpa 'dunia'. Mereka tidak senang hidup jika orang ramai tidak tahu yang mereka sekarang adalah isteri pemimpin yang kaya raya.

Orang tua-tua dahulu ada berkata, 'kalau orang berdarah raja itu jika menjadi tukang sapu sampah atau jadi tukang cat sekali pun, ia tetap raja, tetapi jika si sengkek diletakan mahkota di kepala mereka sekali pun, mereka tetap sengkek'.

Rakyat yang terdesak kehidupan mereka tidak dapat menyelesaikan masalah mereka dengan 'one-off payment' sebanyak RM 500 yang diumumkan oleh PM baru-baru ini. Kalau pemimpin kita tidak cukup dengan gaji yang besar sehingga melakukan rasuah bagaimana rakyat hendak hidup dengan bantuan RM500 itu? RM500 itu sebenarnya tidak cukup pun untuk membiayai makanan kucing orang-orang kaya dalam kerajaan pada hari ini.

Malaysian courts dragging feet over Altantuya lawsuit, now over 4 years

Posted: 26 Oct 2011 04:11 PM PDT

Her fed-up father Setev Shaariibuu has sent yet another tracer to Malaysia's growingly notorious courts, where his latest letter is bound to suffer the same fate as previous reminders - suppression and total silence! This time, however, Setev and his wife Altantsetseg Sanjaa have taken the additional step of appealing to Malaysian lawmakers for justice.

"Honoured members of the Parliament of Malaysia, I would like you to pay attention to my request and to treat this issue from the stand worthy of intelligent human beings," Setev said in his letter submitted via his counsel Karpal Singh, who is also the MP for Bukit Gelugor.

"There are vital matters pending such as to resolve the deceased's funeral and pacify her spirit through charitable attention to the orphaned children."

Money already paid, why do you delay my daughter's last rites

In his letter, Shaariibuu also pointed that he has complied with all the terms set by the courts to pursue the case including putting up a security bond of RM60,000 but nothing has been done, although the Mongolian government - which footed the deposit - had sent representatives over to discuss how to resolve the case.

"The fact that your government does not make positive steps towards the issue raised by Mongolia may perhaps adversely impact the interest of hundreds of Mongolians who are studying and living in Malaysia," he said.

"Despite the fact that the government of Mongolia proposed to discuss the issue by appointing and sending its representatives to Malaysia, it has been one year without any response."

The beautiful Altanuya was 28 when she was shot in the face and bombed with C4 explosives to prevent identification by Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri and Cpl Sirul Azhar - two former bodyguards of Najib's. They are now waiting on death row for their appeal to be heard. Her ashes are still in Malaysia, and her parents have fought hard to take them home but to no avail.

Among reasons given by the Malaysian government is that the two cops have appealed their death sentence. Their appeal is delayed because the trial judge, Mohd Zaki Yasin, who found them guilty has till date not written up his judgement. The judge's tardiness not only delays the cops in securing a hearing date from the Appeals courts, but also slows the lawsuit filed by Altantuya's parents. Government prosecutors say their case cannot be heard until the appeal is done with as it might 'prejudice' the cops' case.

"I can't see why the judge cannot finish writing his grounds. It has been two years already. I have raised the issue in Parliament but just received a written reply, which is pointless," Karpal had told reporters.

Alastair Campbell Is Advising Najib On How To Win Election – Exclusive!

Posted: 26 Oct 2011 05:49 AM PDT

We have learnt from exclusive sources that the former PM's ex-Communications Chief, Alastair Campbell (world-famous for the so-called 'Dodgy Dossier' that sanctioned the invasion of Iraq), is now advising Malaysian PM, Najib Razak on how to win the next election!

This follows the recent scandal over FBC Media, a story also broken by Sarawak Report, which revealed that Najib and Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud were illegally buying positive publicity on worldwide TV-news shows.

A common link between FBC Media, the PM's previous PR firm, APCOA and now Alastair Campbell is believed to be Paul Stadlen, who is a British PR man, close to Najib and based in KL.

Najib is said to be desperate  to brush up his international image, on the eve of an expected election and in the wake of the appalling world publicity gained by his treatment of the July 9th Bersih rally.  He also wants to increase his voter appeal towards an increasingly independently-minded urban electorate in Malaysia.

Our sources say that Campbell recently visited Najib in KL and has been behind advice over the past couple of months to show a more friendly image, such as the promise to reform detention laws (a gesture which has subsequently been put on indefinite hold) and the concept of a "Cool Najib", reflective of the coining of Tony Blair's "Cool Britannia" back in the 1990s!

Cosying up to oil-rich dictators?

Our revelations about Malaysian links with Tony Blair's team of advisors past and present, come hard on the heels of weekend reports in the UK's Financial Times and Daily Mail newspapers about similar activities in Khazakhstan.

Alastair Campbell was seen returning earlier this month from Astana, the Khazakh capital, where he admitted to doing some consultancy work "but nothing like on the scale that Tony is doing".

Tony Blair himself is believed to have forged close relations with the Khazakh President, Nursaltan Nazabayev during his period in office and to have continued those relations, including making a number of visits this year.

Nazarbayev is another potentate with international image problems, given the notorious cruelty and corruption of his 20 year regime.  

Intriguingly, the growing ties between him and Najib Razak, particularly in the field of public relations, have already been well documented in Sarawak Report's coverage of the FBC Media scandal.

Both countries had hired FBC's PR services and were frequently featured on FBC programmes. The question now must surely be what ties have there been between FBC and people linked to Tony Blair and how directly linked has Blair himself been to these and related PR initiatives?
