The 13th GE: Its an open field
Isu Royalty minyak : Muhyiddin cuba memulas tangan rakyat Kelantan
The Ups and Downs of Harvest Court

Those were the observations and musings by (RTC) on the political possibilities after the GE13. What is intriguing was his warning that a hung parliament will create instability. I hope we will not be in such a situation. Malaysians would prefer a clear cut victory one way or the other.

I am not going to respond to his nervous prognosis; being more interested on how such a scenario can possibly happen and what are the implications if it does. I don't think we are going to have a hung parliament. It will be clear cut either way. I am also bemused at his attempt to involve Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah in such a scenario. To qualify as a participant in any future negotiations should a hung parliament comes into being, TRH must be head of a political party. Right now, TRH is in UMNO and doesn't head a party nor is he a leader of any faction in UMNO. Could Rahim's advice be another attempt to isolate TRH from UMNO?

TRH is far too principled to agree being appointed as leader of government on a personal to holder basis. He will be a figurehead. Oh, because Tengku has never disowned the ambitions to become PM, comes the answer from UMNO people. So my answer is- why should he not have that ambition? He was cheated to becoming one before. He has all the credentials to become one.

Here is an interesting piece of information. When certain UMNO people wanted to kick out Abdullah Badawi , they approached Tengku Razaleigh for a solution. Their agenda was only one- because of Najib's hesitation they went to see Razaleigh asking him to stand as UMNO president and Muhyidin as Deputy President. This group was made up of powerful people, united at that time, by their intense disapproval and loathing of Dollah Badawi. My point is this- at that time, they didn't think it was inappropriate for Tengku Razaleigh to become UMNO president and if he had won, go on to become PM. Tengku's ambition wasn't an issue. His age wasn't an issue. The fundamental objective was to remove Pak Lah.

Why should the opposition parties invite Tengku Razaleigh to become PM, if they could win the elections on their own? PAS has Haji Hadi, DAP has Lim Guan Eng and PKR has Anwar Ibrahim? This assessment presupposes that between the 3, neither one accepts the leader of each party as a future PM. It also assumes further, that Tengku Razaleigh commands a number of elected MPs to give him standing in future negotiations. Where will he get the MPs? Rahim says 20-30 people are being lined up to stand as MPs who are aligned to Tengku Razaleigh. Where are these people? In UMNO? Within the opposition camp?

So now, let us build up a case, why a hung parliament cannot happen. Just for the moment, let's not talk about how UMNO and BN can lose. Let's talk about HOW the opposition- DAP, PAS, PKR can WIN. Let's begin by asking, will the PR lose its current 82 seats? Possible, but very unlikely. The seats which they lost when some people jumped ship, will become theirs again. We won't see the likes of Zahrain and his types in parliament again.

Pertamanya UMNO dan kerajaan persekutuan mengakui yang kerajaan negeri Kelantan ada hak ke atas royalty minyak seperti yang termaktub di dalam perjanjian yang ditanda tangani di antara pertronas dan rakyat negeri Kelantan pada bulan mei 1975 dahulu.

Keduanya sekarang kerajaan persekutuan mengakui yang hak itu boleh di perolehi jika PAS bersatu dengan UMNO dan isu itu diselesaikan setelah PAS bersama UMNO. Masalahnya perjanjian dalam perjanjian pada 27 hb Mei 1975 itu adalah di antara kerajaan dan rakyat Kelantan yang diwakili oleh Menteri Besar PAS semasa itu iaitu Dato Mohamad Nasir.

Saya telah menulis secara detail dalam posting saya dua tahun yang lepas dan saudara masih boleh membacanya jika saudara mengambil sedikit usaha untuk mencarinya di dalam archive blog ini. Jika kita kaji dalam, kita akan mendapat pelajaran perbezaan pemimpin dahulu dan sekarang. Muhyiddin nampaknya hendak menggunakan royalty minyak untuk mendapatkan sokongan PAS untuk membantu UMNO dalam parti itu (UMNO) sedang terdesak yang amat sangat.

Muhyiddin seorang Timbalan Perdana Menteri tidak faham atau saja-saja tidak mahu faham yang perjanjian itu adalah di antara petronas dan rakyat Kelantan, bukannya di antara UMNO dengan PAS. Semasa perjanjian itu ditanda tangani kerajaan Kelantan semasa itu adalah kerajaan pimpinan PAS yang di ketuai oleh Dato Mohamad bin Nasir sebagai MBnya.

Minyak yang di keluarkan di persisiran pantai Kelantan itu adalah kepunyaan rakyat Kelantan, tidak kira mereka ahli PAS, UMNO, MCA atau parti mana-mana sekali pun. Jelas dalam perjanjian itu yang Kelantan berhak menerima 5 peratus dari harga FOB minyak tersebut dan di bayar secara tunai dua kali setahun.; iaitu pada bulan Mac dan bulan September setiap tahun. Ini sudah ditanda tangani.

Kenyataan Muhyiddin itu membayangkan yang beliau tidak menghormati semangat persekutuan seperti yang termaktub di dalam perjanjian persekutuan pada tahun 1948 dahulu.

Walaupun Muhyiddin seorang Timbalan Perdana Menteri elok kita ingatkan bahawa Persekutuan Tanah Melayu itu wujud hanya pada tahun 1948 setelah negeri-negeri yang berdaulat termasuk Kelantan bersatu dengan negeri-negeri lain dalam satu persekutuan yang di namakan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu dan selepas itu menjadi Persekutan Malaysia setelah Sabah dan Sarawak menjadi ahli-ahli baru kepada persekutuan itu.

Setiap negeri yang ada di dalam persekutuan ini adalah negeri-negeri yang berdaulat dan mempunyai Lagislatifnya sendiri. Kedaulatan negara Persekutuan Malaysia itu datangnya dari kedaulatan negeri-negeri yang berada di dalam persekutuan itu.

Di Putrajaya itu bukannya kerajaan pusat seperti negara-negara unitary, sebaliknya di Putrajaya itu adalah kerajaan Persekutuan. Takkanlah perkara yang begitu asas ini pun tidak di fahami oleh seorang Timbalan Perdana Menteri yang sedang berusaha hendak menjadi PM dalam masa yang singkat ini.

The Ups and Downs of Harvest Court

Nazifuddin is the chairman of 1Green Enviro Sdn Bhd, Magna Healthcare Sdn Bhd, Cahaya Pedoman Sdn Bhd, Tribus Sdn Bhd and Sagajuta (Sabah) Sdn Bhd. He also the director of Kingtime International Ltd and Dynac Sdn Bhd.

According to The Sun:

Shares in designated counter Harvest Court Industries Bhd nose-dived yesterday in an apparent reaction to the resignation of former director Mohd Nazifuddin Mohd Najib on Monday, barely a month after his entry helped spark a massive surge in the stock.

At the close, Harvest Court's share price tumbled 43 sen, or 31% to 97 sen on volume of 251,700 shares. Its warrants declined 30% to 73 sen.

Harvest Court attracted huge speculative interest earlier this month after Nazifuddin and business partner Datuk Raymond Chan were made directors of the company on Oct 28.

Investors were apparently punting on hopes that Nazifuddin, the 28-year-old son of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak, would open up new opportunities for the door maker. Within days of his appointment, shares in Harvest Court had soared from 40 sen to as high as RM2.13 on Nov 14.

The massive surge immediately drawn close scrutiny from the investing public, as well as the stock market regulator.

Bursa Malaysia Securities flagged Harvest Court as a designated counter from Nov 15 in a bid to limit what was viewed as excessive speculative activities in the stock.

Nazifuddin's decision to step down may help to take some heat off Harvest Court.

Nazifuddin, who owns 2.2% in Harvest Court, and Chan told a newspaper yesterday that they would remain as shareholders in Harvest Court. Chan controls 15.7% of Harvest Court.

The trading curb, which effectively requires investors to pay upfront to purchase the stock, continue to be in force. There was no indication how long this will remain.
