• Political rhetoric to the fore
• Sodomy II: You Are Also On Trial
• Political gimmicks to con voters

Political rhetoric to the fore Posted: 13 Dec 2011 10:05 AM PST Weigh the threats with caution When the member from Gombak, Azmin Ali, wanted to tear down the walls of the Sungai Buloh Prison to free Anwar Ibrahim if he were to be found guilty at his current on-going trial for sodomy, or a leader promising to take to the streets if the election results were not to their liking, then we should be careful. By Zainul Ariffin Md Isa, New Straits Times WITH the political season heating up, our daily diet of speeches has gotten hotter. This is the time for political speak, which is often high on rhetoric and metaphors. So for the upcoming general election, Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) members have been advised by their president to prepare for war, while Pakatan Rakyat leaders have been asking us to help them to save the country. Some speeches are to inspire, some to motivate, some to proclaim, while others to incite. Politicians, by profession, do a lot of them to drum up support and rouse people into action (read vote). Some do that and nothing else, ever on the stump from the first day they were elected. People get the exaggerations and the over-the-top-ness of great political speak, since they add colour and vigour, and are able to encapsulate ideas in a nutshell for easy and manageable bites. They get the adrenaline going and make an otherwise passive act of listening into a participatory thing. But even if people understand that in the heat of battle we tend to say things, they are unlikely to tolerate flippant, chauvinistic and racist remarks -- hence, for example, the controversy that followed Pas deputy president Mat Sabu's belittling of dead servicemen and Perak assemblyman Nga's racist reference to  his mentri besar. When Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said his party should be prepared for war, we know no one was training for combat nor expecting to put life or limb on the line. It's war, but not the warring kind -- the battlegrounds are the constituencies; it is not turf nor resources the fight is all about, but instead a share of voters' hearts and minds. Politicians like to evoke a sense of battle. In politics where ideas are grand and visions are pure -- it is the "fight" between good and evil, us against them, our way of life and theirs, etc -- the images get them along quickly. War suggests battles, and the ultimate outcome of war is that the winner takes all. The loser, too, loses something more precious, which is his sovereignty. So if Umno or BN members don't  get the message --  they lose everything if they were defeated in the political battlefield -- then, I suppose, nothing else will. In political speak, many try to evoke a sense of the divine, too, or semi-divine. The Pas president was famous for branding Umno infidels to the point that animals slaughtered by them were haram. Its adviser, too, can do no wrong and comes out with edicts almost at will. A sense of drama would be great, too. DAP "Godfather" Karpal Singh suggested that he was willing to die -- over his dead body -- in his opposition of the hudud. I believe it was a figure of speech from him, rattling the cages, though not necessarily literally fighting to the death with his mates in Pas, who at this moment still see hudud as the end game in a Pakatan Rakyat takeover of the government. It is also good to be lumped by association with underdog political figures, like American civil rights leader Martin Luther King, or Myanmar prisoner of conscience Aung San Suu Kyi, or South African freedom fighter Nelson Mandela, by referring to them in political speeches.  Us, the unwashed masses, should be too thick to see through them, I suppose. Righteousness is such a common commodity in the Dewan Rakyat, peppered in all speeches that at times we hope all of the righteous right honourable elected members could practise it beyond the confines of the august hall. But it is when politicians decide to disband from the metaphors and start being specific, which is not along the lines of someone saying that someone is God's gift to Malaysians, that we should worry about. When the member from Gombak, Azmin Ali, wanted to tear down the walls of the Sungai Buloh Prison to free Anwar Ibrahim if he were to be found guilty at his current on-going trial for sodomy, or a leader promising to take to the streets if the election results were not to their liking, then we should be careful. Similarly, there is no poetic reference to a suggestion that our submarines cannot dive. There is no vagueness in the statement. Was the intention in the political speech then to rouse anger by propagating unsubstantiated untruths? Would Azmin really be bringing Anwar supporters armed with hammers and picks to break down the walls? If he was not, then he better find a better speechwriter; his metaphor sucks. There was no reference to the alleged walls of injustice, for instance, but instead the brick and mortar walls of the Sungai Buloh Prison. If he is serious, then he must surely be an anarchist. The specificity of his threat to create chaos or tear down buildings is  a threat at subverting law and order and to create chaos. Former Bar Council president Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan suggested that Myanmar is better than Malaysia in the issue of human rights. We have made the case that politicians -- which I think Ambiga is, based on the company she keeps -- like to exaggerate. But even then, I cannot reconcile her statement with the images of street protesters  shot in the streets by the armed forces, and guess what, we are worse off than that. We can live with the hyperbole. We know when they are full of rhetoric and when they are not. We know they are political speak, mostly words to add spice to the situation. But surely, we can live without some of them. Perhaps we can laugh at them as the consequences of politicians getting shallow on ideas trying to drum up emotion in the absence of substance.

Sodomy II: You Are Also On Trial Posted: 13 Dec 2011 09:31 AM PST Malaysians must be feeling a state of déjà vu. In 1998, for Sodomy I, a soiled mattress was dragged into court, Anwar was poisoned with arsenic and the charges of Anwar having sex with a range of people, to lurid sexploits related by the virgin Queen, Ummi Hafilda, made Malaysian courts a laughing stock. Mariam Mokhtar, Malaysian Mirror  On the face of it, Sodomy II is the trial of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim by his accuser, Saiful Bukhari Azlan. In truth, Sodomy II is also the rakyat's trial. It is one where Malaysians are pitted against government misrule, miscarriages of justice and institutionalised repression. Sodomy II represents a fight to restore democratic rights, for public institutions to recover their integrity, for the judiciary to be made independent and for the police to regain the public's respect. To most observers, trial judge Mohd Zabidin Mohd Diah, appears to have decided Anwar's fate already. So who has the most to gain, if Anwar were to be jailed when the judge delivers his verdict? Who was frustrated when the sodomy charge in Sodomy I was overturned in 2004 by the Supreme Court and Anwar was freed? The answer is not Prime minister Najib Abdul Razak, but the former PM, Mahathir Mohamad. Najib will be pleased, but Mahathir will be ecstatic. Najib and the other corrupt BN politicians, their families and cronies, will heave a collective sigh of relief. But for Mahathir, it is the settling of old scores. His political legacy and dynasty can then prosper, without interference. A corrupt person can continue his evil deeds only if he is surrounded by people with no integrity and low principles. When Anwar's earlier sodomy conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2004, Mahathir was livid, as were the handful of other individuals who wanted Anwar to remain behind bars. Anwar said yesterday, that he was "prepared for the best, but expected the worst" when asked to comment about what he thought the judge's verdict would be on his case. Last June, Anwar's three attempts to have Zabidin recused failed. Anwar's first attempt was when Zabidin failed to take action against Utusan Malaysia for unfair reporting. Zabidin had also threatened to cite Karpal Singh for contempt. Anwar's second attempt was when Zabidin "pre-judged" the trial when he said complainant Saiful Bukhari's testimony was "reliable" and that it would "establish all the facts required to prove the charge against the accused". Zabidin relied solely on Saiful's testimony. In-depth studies based on various intelligence reports, have shown Najib's cabinet, that they will fare badly in GE-13. Political observers claim that Najib will want Anwar incarcerated and announce the date for GE-13 during the period set aside for him to appeal. Najib will claim that he did not put Anwar in jail, but the judge did. Perhaps, this is what autocratic rulers say, when they absolve themselves of their responsibilities and shift the blame onto others in their administration. Remember how Mahathir denied that he had ordered Operation Lalang and said that the crackdown had been authorised by the IGP Haniff Omar? Or as in the current news, President Assad of Syria declared recently, that he did not order the brutal retaliation on his people, and that it was his army which was responsible for the violence. At a press conference yesterday, Mahathir questioned the need for international NGOs to levy corruption charges against Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud. He said, "When an election is near, you get funny things like this coming out. "If it is just a political game to try and undermine somebody's political image then I think it is not right." Mahathir ignores the fact that the timing for the finale of Sodomy II, is set against a backdrop of GE-13. Did he think this was a coincidence? Perhaps, Mahathir has got Alzheimer's. In Sodomy I, Anwar faced charges of corruption and sodomy because Anwar, Mahathir's protégé, refused to bail out companies, during the Asian financial crisis in 1997, using taxpayer's money. Some of these companies belonged to his son and cronies. Anwar became a threat to Mahathir and had to be removed. It did not help that others in Umno were jealous of the close relationship that Mahathir and Anwar enjoyed. In 2008, Najib, who was the prime minister in waiting, was faced with Anwar becoming a threat to his premiership and to Umno domination in Malaysian politics. Najib realised that Anwar had to be removed, especially as his mass appeal was increasing and he was able to galvanise the fragmented opposition parties. Unfortunately, Najib is not very creative and his plan, to remove Anwar, involved rehashing the previous one made by Mahathir. Thus, Sodomy II was conceived. But Najib's blundering ways mean that whatever he does, lacks planning and detail, just like the cursory effort that was put into his Peaceful Assembly Bill (PAB) which then needed urgent amendment barely 24 hours after being tabled. Nevertheless, Mahathir will be pleased at the prospect of Anwar being jailed. His dream will finally be realised. Malaysians must be feeling a state of déjà vu. In 1998, for Sodomy I, a soiled mattress was dragged into court, Anwar was poisoned with arsenic and the charges of Anwar having sex with a range of people, to lurid sexploits related by the virgin Queen, Ummi Hafilda, made Malaysian courts a laughing stock. In 2011, the seedy plots have varied little. The only changes are the actors like Saiful, his semen stained briefs and the allegations of him having sex with several men as his rectal swabs carried the semen of several men. These are mere distractions. The main thrust is that Najib needs to win GE-13, by hook or by crook. Losing means he will be made accountable for his part in the corruption scandals which have dogged Malaysia. He will have to answer for the Scorpene scandal and the murder of Altantuya Shaaribu, amongst others. His ministers will have their own corruption scandals to deal with. Mahathir's reason is simple. He does not want previous illegal deals to be aired by Anwar, who must have been privy to them, when he was Finance minister. All Mahathir wants is his political dynasty to continue via his son, and his family to keep their business empire, which was built on public money.

Political gimmicks to con voters Posted: 13 Dec 2011 07:43 AM PST Umno leaders are playing a dangerous game and leading the nation towards the brink of destruction when they choose to play the race card at the drop of a hat. Umno is now leading the nation towards the brink of destruction and the abyss of doom when its leaders choose to play the race card at the drop of a hat. Emotions will run very high if the Malay mind is conditioned by Umno to be under a siege-mentality. Selana Tay, Free Malaysia Today Umno, MCA and MIC never fail to use the race card to gain support from the Malays, Chinese and Indians respectively. This race card is the trump card which the British colonialists had left as a legacy to those three parties in the then "Alliance Formula". Therefore, the opposition will always find it difficult to win the general elections due to these three parties always availing themselves of the ace from the deck of cards dealt by the past colonial masters. This means that even before Independence itself, the cards have always been stacked against the opposition as the rakyat's minds are already pre-conditioned with the issue of race. With the 13th general election tipped to be just around the proverbial corner by political pundits, Umno politicians have upped the ante in their recent 65th Umno general assembly with racial speeches accusing the Chinese and the DAP of wanting to grab political and economic power. Stirring up Malay sentiment is Umno's tried and tested formula of successfully wooing the Malays and it has always yielded tremendous gains for Umno. As such, during the British era right until this present day, there has not been a single shred of doubt that Umno is the dominant party in the BN coalition. It is Umno which calls the shots and assigns MCA and MIC to only look after their respective race. This formula of divide-and-rule which has been started by the British has been continued by Umno, MCA and MIC to this present day for them to maintain and stay in power. It is almost impossible to break the divide-and-rule policy because the rakyat are not ready for it. And that is the sad reality to this present day. For example, there have been rumours that this time the Batu candidate for this coming polls is a Malay guy. Previously in 2008, PKR's Tian Chua defeated Gerakan's Lim Si Pin by a 9,000-plus vote majority. If Umno fields a Malay candidate in Batu, will PKR also field a Malay candidate? The demographics in Batu roughly mirrors that of the demographics of the nation. Harsh reality It is a harsh reality here that in Malaysia it is all about race, race and race with a capital "R". A former prime minister has once commented that PAS is afraid to contest in a Chinese-majority seat. Well, actually it is Umno which is afraid. In Kepong at least 88% of the voters are Chinese. If Umno fields a Malay candidate in Kepong, PAS will also field a Malay or Chinese candidate and we will be seeing a PAS versus Umno tussle in Kepong – a very interesting and intriguing battle indeed. Why doesn't Umno field a Malay candidate in Kepong in line with Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak's much-hyped up 1Malaysia slogan? Race-based politics is a legacy left by the British and honed into perfection by Umno. It will continue to be the order of the day if BN continues to win the coming general election. As the rural Malay vote is the crucial decider this time around, Umno is going all out to woo the rural Malays by playing the race card. This is evident going by the vitriol spewed forth at the recent Umno general assembly where the Chinese have been vilified by one Umno delegate after another who accused the Chinese of wanting to usurp the Malays.

• Dap's Extended Honeymoon in Penang
• The Battle for Umno: Infighting at the very top
• Mahathir, Lee Kuan Yew and The Lazy Native
• Malaysia losing “faith capital values”
• Post GE13 political scenarios-Part 3

Dap's Extended Honeymoon in Penang Posted: 13 Dec 2011 03:30 PM PST Prior to the 2008 general election, the party was at the forefront in promoting and advocating local council election. What has happened to the pledge? Did the party leadership do anything substantial to prepare the state for local council elections? Leaders who were at the forefront of the campaign such as Sec-Gen Lim Guan Eng, MP Liew Chin Tong and others should help explain why the pledge was not being fulfilled. A number of us who had helped in the drafting of the Penang Development Blueprint would like to know the status of the report. Surely Dap does not need to take 4 years to come out with it's own socio-economic development blueprint for Penang. For voting in a new government, surely we have the right to know how the new government intends to lead us differently from the past ineffective Gerakan leadership under Dr Koh Tsu Koon. Nevertheless, the Dap state leadership has done well to reduce deficit and strengthened the financial position of the state. It had introduced several measures to reduce the use of plastic bags, no car day for a particular stretch in the city, provided RM100 for elderly citizens and others. Dap has done remarkably well to sustain the support of the Chinese voters, however the party must take cognizance of a potential erosion in non-Chinese support. Two main problems already emerged among the Malay voters. First, a lack of Malay centric agenda to help uplift their social and economic status will cause some Malay voters to swing their support back to a Malay patronage leadership under Gerakan or MCA. Second, rapid private housing development on the Penang island, higher inflation and cost of living and a lack of job opportunities are pushing a lot of Malays to the edge of the island. Lim Guan Eng's government has been to overly focused on the island as an engine of growth for Penang. His administration had proposed a few initiatives such as sPICE, education hub and a theme park - all centred on the island. Both the education hub and theme park are supposed to be located at Balik Pulau, almost the last bastion of Malay hinterland on the island. READ MORE HERE

The Battle for Umno: Infighting at the very top Posted: 13 Dec 2011 08:41 AM PST Muhyiddin's name is now becoming famous in the Malay community. It has cropped up many times as a possible contender for the top post although both his image and Najib's are always presented side by side in the government-controlled media to create the perception that they are on the most friendly terms. But make no mistake, the competition between the two men has always been there. How loyal is the 'most loyal' deputy? In 2008, unfortunately for Muhyiddin, former premier Mahathir Mohamad had decided that Najib should be the one to take over from Badawi as many had predicted he would. Muhyiddin was devastated at having been beaten by Najib at the eleventh hour. But as they say, what to do? Mahathir is still a force in UMNO to be reckoned with and it would be even worse to cross him and his 'geng' or gang of right-wing political thugs. It is also interesting to note that by then Muhyiddin was as powerless as any ordinary UMNO member because he did not have the backing from the grass roots and the other UMNO leaders, not even from his home state of Johore. He was on his own and had to find supporters, if not followers. Muhyiddin was not promoted by Badawi and son-in-law Khairy Jamaluddin when Badawi was PM because there was Khairy to be groomed into power. So, it was that Muhyiddin was left on the fringes although not totally in the wilderness. It was then that Muhyiddin learnt how to survive on his own, even though he was never alone. The desire to hold the top post is still burning strong in Muhyiddin and more so now, because of his age and as opportunity knocks. Najib is weak, torn apart by the myriad of problems and dilemmas nagging him 24/7. But how sincere is Muhyiddin when he only said that he is the most loyal deputy? Did he promise not to challenge for the presidency? Will Muhyiddin just lie down and let Najib steamroll over him? Disunity Actually, Muhyiddin has already launched several maneuvers with his advisors and small group of supporters. Despite their huge handicap, we can still feel the impact when he questioned the 1Malaysia concept as soon as Najib announced it. Muhyiddin then showed his confidence when he declared he was Malay first and Malaysian next. Muhyiddin even defied Mahathir when he committed himself to teaching mathematics and science in Bahasa Melayu instead of English, which had been implemented by Mahathir. It is clear Muhyiddin is trying to be his own man and garner more grass root support for his impending revolt against Najib at the eleventh hour. That's right. Say what he will during his 'loyalty' pledge to the UMNO assembly, but Muhyiddin is bound to go neck to neck with Najib for president's seat. Same as Najib would if the shoe was on the other foot. Really, Muhyiddin has got nothing to lose. To win, Muhyiddin does not need to get 100% support from those in UMNO and he knows it. All he needs to do is to harp on the various scenarios that threaten the unity in UMNO, and Najib and his band of sycophants will be forced to heel. The pressure is already massive for Najib to step down if he wants to save UMNO from another split, more so with the next General Election or GE-13 nearing. READ MORE HERE

Mahathir, Lee Kuan Yew and The Lazy Native Posted: 13 Dec 2011 08:38 AM PST One wonders if Mahathir and Lee Kuan Yew share the same philosophy. The Ultra Malay Mahathir and Radical Chinese Lee are almost always at odds with one another. From politics to policies, there seems to be infinite issues for them to brawl over and, even if there are none, they can't seem to help pulling a mickey out of one another. But read between the lines and you will realize that they share the same philosophy – the same reductionist philosophy that subjugated the region into chains of colonization in the past. But before going into the shared philosophy espoused by these leaders, it helps to first understand how a reductionist view on any subject would eventually lead to the perversion of an original idea. An idea or perception of a matter or subject is defined based on the senses and on our analytic thought. That, infused with cultural surroundings and historical impact produces the eventual paradigm in which we live. Now, that's not very hard to follow, is it? However, no matter how accurate one's senses in perceiving a subject, an observer with a reductionist view tries to simplify things by creating faulty arguments and slippery judgments. Thus, when it comes to formulating a policy, a reductionist approach is, at best, dangerous on many levels. Firstly, a reductionist may not solve the problem at hand but instead exacerbate it by not fully understanding the mechanism in the first place. In other words, a reductionist would rush to 'fix' the problem based on first impressions, hence neglecting the intricacies of the initial problem. Secondly, even if the problem is solved, it will leave an aftertaste of resentment as its early mechanism was forcibly changed in order to facilitate its new functions. This "machinery" is forced to function based on the whims of the reductionist, rather than working naturally based on its mechanics. On a third level, a reductionist distorts an original idea by implementing the interpretation of the idea into a form either unfounded or too extreme in the earlier idea. This is because the reductionist digests the original idea only in its cosmetics instead of understanding the whole dynamics and principles of the idea. For example, such a view of sociology gave birth to Communism; a reductionist view of biology gave birth to Nazism, and a reductionist view of Islam gave birth to Islamic terrorism. The same can be said about both Mahathir and Lee Kuan Yew. In his book The Malay Dilemma, Mahathir espoused the view that Malays – particularly the rural ones whom he characterized as less competitive compared to the urban and racially mixed Malays – were somewhat lacking in intelligence as compared to others. By others, I refer to the Chinese, Indians, and Malays of racially mixed background. Therefore, in his assessment an open and competitive market environment would actually cause the Malays to be weaker than permitted by status quo. Mahathir may have written The Malay Dilemma in the early years of his entry into politics, but his view remains unchanged. An example can be his recent comments – especially with regards to Premier Najib Razak's drive to promote meritocracy – as a clear sign that he has yet to ditch his post-colonialist belief in social anthropology (which ascribes to the idea that certain races are born superior than others). Does Mahathir believe pure-blooded Malays to be superior to other races? No. In fact, he believed that pure-blooded Malays are somewhat incompetent when it comes to competition with other races. It was thus written in his book, and reiterated during his post-retirement era where he concluded that meritocracy would benefit only certain races, as compared to affirmative action which, in his opinion, would level the playing field for everyone. In his paradigm, to which I believe and presume many UMNO Old Guards still adhere, affirmative action is a must to ensure all races be able to stand together and fairly reap the nation's economical benefits.

Malaysia losing “faith capital values” Posted: 13 Dec 2011 08:26 AM PST On the one hand, in the short term, it may be that the economy dictates the quality and character of human life.  But in the long term, character values of justice, trustworthiness, mutual respect, benevolence and peace are foundational for the flourishing of any nation that strives towards a long term growth. The lack of these qualities creates tension, instability, and eventually loss of good jobs for the nation. Ethical apathy and economic stagnation can create a cycle of decline. As Hans Kung, the President of the Foundation of Global Ethics, said to the Parliament of the World's Religion inMelbournein December 2009, "a painful truth is evident: this economic crisis is characterised by a notable absence of common ethical values and standards." In Malaysia, about 97 percent of the population claimed to adhere to faith traditions, enriched with ethical values and customs that ought to offer significant faith-based social capital. Diverse in its ethnicity and religious traditions, Malaysia theoretically should flourish much more compared to some of its neighboring countries, like Singapore which citizens are of almost the same ethnic and faith traditions but  lack of land space and natural resources. Malaysia undermines its "faith capital values" and thus retards potential economic growth, loses good jobs to other nations, and consequently, has lost almost 330,000 university graduates, especially the non-Malays; Six-hundred thousand of them have left to work in Singapore alone. If Tun Mahathir is right that 90 percent of Malaysia's tax comes from the non-Malays, then this "brain drain" crisis, occasioned in part by dissatisfaction with Malaysia's social and ethical values, further undercuts the financial capital of the nation. By recognising faith as the basis of social capital, such discourse can identify the responsibilities of the government leaders, the function of social institutions in shaping the patterns of behavior and character development of citizens, and the roles of Malaysian Muslims as the majority in the population. These three agents will have the greatest influence in bringing about change.  This is not to say that public activism, marketplace dynamics, and the presence of other faiths or non-faith adherents are insignificant, but at present, they have less influence in Malaysia's pseudo-democratic context. Thus the first step in moving forward is to analyse where the three key agents fall short. Surveys conducted in the last quarter of 2010 in Malaysia and Indonesia on "Values, Dreams, Ideals – Muslims Youth in Southeast Asia" release good news that Malaysia Muslim youths, who are at the center stage of this nation's population, prioritised believing in God and becoming better Muslims over becoming rich. Almost 70 percent wanted the Quran to replace the federal constitution. However, further analysis shows a contradiction, given that those interviewed are rather lax about praying, reading the Quran, and fasting, and prefer to watch television, listen to music, or surf the internet in their free time. Data from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) indicates that almost 65 percent of Malaysia population are internet users, a great increase from 15 percent in 2000.  Youths are inclined towards technology, especially the internet and SMS text messages.  Clearly, youths are increasingly consumed by the cyber world and distracted from other faith-related aspects of life, such as learning to exegete Quran passages or engaging themselves with the mosque communal gatherings and community services. Many of those interviewed denounce violence, yet 62.4 percent perceive the late al-Qaeda terror group leader Osama bin Laden as a "freedom fighter." This ethical contradiction has parallels elsewhere in society. READ MORE HERE

Post GE13 political scenarios-Part 3 Posted: 13 Dec 2011 07:24 AM PST Nothing personal against Anwar. To me he remains the crowd puller who can captivate the masses with his mesmerizing oratory. He can call the birds in the trees to his palms. But I don't fancy Anwar as PM because of (a) his duplicity and deceiving nature. He wears too many masks. (2) He is compromisable. I am stating what I see as the possible outcome of post GE13. Anwar has been committed to jail by then. On the steps of parliament Anwar told someone who I know very well, that the government is bent on jailing him. He himself is convinced he will go to jail. We shall wait. As to the person who ranks according to hierarchy who should become the new PM, who sets the hierarchy? If PKR does not come out with the largest number of seats among DAP, PAS and PKR, how does one arrive at the ranking? Ini bukan suka suka mahu taruh Anwar jadi PM. He can't be PM without the concurrence of DAP and PAS. Let's examine DAP and PAS. DAP and PAS are more interested to oust the UMNO/BN government, less with the idea that Anwar MUST be the next PM. I hope PKR people get this into their cool heads. PAS and DAP can live together because they are committed to the bigger picture which is – seeing the BN out. PKR's big picture it seems to me is to see Anwar installed as PM. Hence, the "we will break prison walls mindset" this isn't about Anwar brother… As for PAS and DAP, they can't accept anyone from either party to become PM. I think PAS knows its limitations. They have the material suited to be anything but the PM. Nizar or no Nizar. He's an MB material for now. DAP can't accept any PAS leader to become PM not on account of religion (the personal views of Karpal Singh notwithstanding) but because of fears that Malaysia will regress. Now, we may not agree with this assessment, but how DAP sees things appear to have adherents especially among the Chinese in general. The Chinese in general will be troubled at the idea of having a Mullah heading the country. Why can't they accept Anwar? Because they can't afford to have a person who has just gone through a blackened period to be the immediate PM. Perhaps later when Anwar is fully rehabilitated in the eyes of the public. The views held by Anwaristas are immaterial at the moment. The voters are more important. The Anwar supporters must also come to terms that maybe they have to take one step backwards to save their leader.  And also because they ( DAP and PAS) have other reasons I am not at liberty to divulge. Why is Hassan Ali, a close comrade in arms with Anwar Ibrahim since varsity days breaking ranks with Anwar? The talks of his willingness to be the bridge for unity between PAS and UMNO show that to him, Anwar is a non-factor already. So, PAS, DAP and even some sections of the PKR leadership and even those in UMNO who are waiting in the wings look out for someone with the standing, stature and respect as the next PM. My own view is that, the only person fitting the bill is Tengku Razaleigh. Why Tengku Razaleigh? Because it's important for the Pakatan to gain allegiance and support of the 20% fence-sitter voters. This section of the public has a different psychology. They want to know who the next PM is. Is the next PM going to be more acceptable than the present one? They want certainty and some confidence in the person. That person must have the substance, experience, standing and respect all around. Furthermore, the fence sitters who constitute some 20% of voters will demand to see some clarity. These are mostly apolitical and can be persuaded only if the person designated has the qualities and the wherewithal to become PM. If we put Anwar up, they may as well say, if the thing aint broken, why fix it? Whether we like it or not, the 20% fence sitter voters are not exactly enamored with the idea of having Anwar as PM. They might as well stick with Najib. Tengku Razaleigh is too old. Well, Mahathir remains PM until nearly 80. Deng Hsiopeng became leader of China in his late 70s. Many leaders become head of states at late ages. They have the stamina and wisdom and the experience. Malaysia is in need of someone of that stature. There's no past tense when it comes to political relevancy and making sense. Didn't I read that Mahathir says, if it isn't broken don't fix it? Only if we are sentimental fools. We are not going to be romantics dreaming of a perfect past in order to perpetuate all the negatives that are associated with the past. The salad and halcyon days perpetrated during the Mahathir era is now over. Of course Dr Mahathir wants a return to his era where everything is more or less decided by him. That presupposes the existence of a leader like him- non inclusive and iron willed. Najib does not have those qualities. Neither does he have the qualities to convince UMNO people the virtues of his liberal ideas. READ MORE HERE

Asalkan Bukan Umno - Gerakan Massa Dari Rakyat Untuk Rakyat Posted: 13 Dec 2011 08:10 AM PST Kenyataan Umum 9 Disember lepas satu sejarah telah berlaku di mana satu sidang media serentak di seluruh negara berlaku dengan menyuarakan satu maksud yang sama. Tanpa pimpinan 'besar', hanya rakyat biasa dari perbagai latar belakang seperti peniaga kecil, pelajar, pekerja kilang, aktivis masyarakat dan lain - lain tampil untuk bertemu media di seluruh negara dengan menyatakan iltizam bersama menggerakkan rakyat dengan semangat 'ABU' Asalkan Bukan Umno. ABU bukan organisasi seperti NGO, jauh sekali sebagai parti politik. ABU ialah semangat yang mengikat rakyat dan satu gelombang kesedaran betapa Umno (United Malay National Organisation) merupakan pewaris penjajah yang menjadi punca kecelaruan dan perbagai masalah dalam negara ini. Dari masalah perkauman melampau, ketegangan antara agama membawa ke masalah ekonomi, rasuah serta kelemahan pentadbiran sehingga pembaziran melampau yang mencipta kepayahan hidup sehinggalah kenaikan kos hidup (harga barang) secara mendadak dan melampau. Semuanya ialah kerana Umno yang dicipta penjajah mewarisi negara ini dan lebih - lebih lagi ia sudah terlalu lama berada ditampuk kuasa. Siapa ABU ? ABU ialah saya, saudara dan kita semua rakyat biasa yang bersetuju mengenepikan perbezaan dalam mencari kesamaan melawan kezaliman Umno sehingga tumbangnya Umno dari kekuasaan. ABU tidak dimonopoli oleh mana - mana parti politik atau organisasi. ABU milik rakyat yang sedar perlunya bangkit dengan berani dan dengan tegas menyatakan tidak kepada Umno. ABU ialah trend kebangkitan melawan penindasan. Semua rakyat, organisasi dijemput bersama dan ialah pemilik gerakan ABU. SAMM terlibat menggerakkan ABU atas kesedaran tetapi ABU bukan milik SAMM. RAPAT RAKYAT Gerakan kesedaran ini bergerak dengan perbagai pendekatan dari kempen umum, pengedaran risaalah, vcd. Penyampaian mesra media baru tanpa menolak secara konvensional seperti edaran bahan ke rumah - rumah dan pejabat - pejabat. Hinggalah ke kempen secara grafiti dan sabotaj. ABU juga bergerak secara anarkis dan organik. ABU berteraskan rakyat. Gerakan ABU ini wujud sudah lama cuma sudah sebulan lebih SAMM cuba menggerakkan secara serius mengikut skala yang kami mampu dengan mengikat beberapa lagi organisasi termasuk parti politik dalam usaha serius menyedarkan rakyat mengenai ABU. Satu program memperkenalkan ABU akan diadakan di peringkat kebangsaan dan negeri. Semua dijemput ke program memperkenalkan ABU peringkat kebangsaan seperti berikut : Rapat Rakyat ABU "bersatu ASALKAN BUKAN UMNO" 15 Disember 2011 8.30 malam Dataran Sebelah KUIZM, Tmn Melewar, Gombak. Program ini akan menampilkan kelainan dengan mengetengahkan pidato dari rakyat biasa yang mengenengahkan masalah sebenar rakyat, dari pemandu teksi,setinggan, pekerja kilang, suri rumah, pengamal rawatan alternatif, kerani, pegawai bank, cikgu, artis sehinggalah pimpinan parti politik. Antara pimpinan politik yang telah mengesahkan kehadiran ialah YB Datuk Mahfuz Omar (PAS), Arulchelvam (PSM), Dr. Rohana (PRM) dan Haris Ibrahim (MCLM). Kemunculan khas kali pertama dalam pentas rakyat di semenanjung ialah Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee (Presiden SAPP) yang akan membuat pengumuman khas bersangkutan ABU. Majlis juga menjemput Hishamuddin Rais yang porpular dengan blognya Tukar Tiub, beliau didapati antara yang awal menggunakan perkataan ABU sehingga menjadi trend kepada khususnya anak muda. Diharap semua rakyat yang bersetuju dengan ABU dapat sama membantu menghebahkan maklumat program juga hadir beramai - ramai dan kemudian menjadi agen penyampai maklumat ABU. Asalkan bukan Umno, selamatkan Malaysia. che'GuBard Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SIDANG MEDIA PELANCARAN KEMPEN "ASALKAN BUKAN UMNO" SERENTAK DI SELURUH NEGARA 9 DISEMBER YANG LALU. Sidang Media Pelancaran ABU di Pulau Pinang Tempat: George Town Coffee House, KOMTAR Walk, P.Pinang Masa : 11.30pg 1. Wakil PRM - Dr Rohana 2.

Wakil WATAMI - Cik Sabariah (AJK WATAMI) Pulau Pinang 14. Wakil Unit Ehsan - Zulkarnanin Md Ali (Penyelaras UE Penang) Mengapa 'Asalkan Bukan Umno' ? Pulau Pinang dijadikan sasaran paling utama untuk Umno melampiaskan politik perkauman. Ketua Menteri P.Pinang juga sering menjadi mangsa serangan perkauman oleh Umno kononnya meminggirkan melayu walaupun pada hakikatnya statistik terbaru menunjukkan Kerajaan P.Pinang sebenarnya lebih banyak mengagihkan projek dan tender terbuka kepada bumiputra. Perkauman sempit yang dimainkan oleh Umno dengan cubaan melaga-lagakan keharmonian rakyat di Pulau Pinang jelas memberi gambaran betapa Umno tiada cara untuk meraih perhatian rakyat melainkan dengan dendangan perkauman. Adalah menjadi kelebihan buat Umno jika berlaku ketegangan kaum di Pulau Pinang, tetapi bagi rakyat ianya mengundang rasa tidak selamat jika taktik perkauman sempit ini terus tidak dibendung. Umno juga telah menyalahguna anak muda di Pulau Pinang untuk politiknya. Anak-anak muda ini diupah untuk membuat kacau dalam beberapa himpunan memburuk-burukkan Pulau Pinang, lantas mengambil kesempatan memberi gambaran buruk ke seluruh negara di atas penguasaan media yang dimiliki Umno.  Semua gabungan yang menyokong ABU di Pulau Pinang menyatakan sokongan dan sedia untuk bersama dalam menjayakan Rapat Rakyat ABU pada 15 Disember di Dataran Markas PAS Taman Melewar. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sidang Media Pelancaran ABU di Johor Tempat: Kelab Persatuan Wartwan, 11, Jalan Cermat 1, Taman Maju Jaya. Masa: 2.30pm Kehadiran Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM Johor) PRM Johor PSM Johor Wakil Keadilan Mengapa 'Asalkan Bukan Umno' ? JOHOR BAHRU: Seperti yang dirancangkan hari ini, serentak di seluruh negara telah dilancarkan satu gerakan dikenali sebagai Asal Bukan Umno (ABU). Di negeri Johor, sidang media pelancaran ABU ini telah diadakan pada jam 2.30 petang di Kelab Persatuan Wartwan, 11, Jalan Cermat 1, Taman Maju Jaya. Antara NGO yang hadir petang tadi adalah daripada 7 komrad SAMM (Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia) yang diketuai Penyelaras SAMM Johor, Ahmad Anwar Asyraf Ismail, SU PRM (Parti Rakyat Malaysia) Johor Mohd Salleh Haji Ahmad, Tim. Peng. PRM Negeri S.K Song dan wakil PKR En Tan. Gerakan Rakyat 'Asal Bukan Umno (ABU)' ini ditubuhkan bagi memastikan Umno BN tumbang pada Pilihan Raya Umum akan datang.   Sdr Ahmad Anwar menyentuh isu-isu masalah yang dirasai oleh rakyat Johor di bawah pemerintahan kerajaan  negeri yang ditunjangi oleh parti Umno antaranya seperti masalah kos sara hidup yang tinggi, harga pemilikan rumah yang tidak mampu dimiliki oleh warga Johor sendiri terutama di kawasan bandar Johor Bahru, masalah harga air yang tinggi dibandingkan dengan negeri-negeri lain, serta masalah pemilikan tanah. Pada sidang media yang sama, Sdr Ahmad Anwar turut mengecam amalan politik sempit dan samseng oleh Umno apabila mengelurkan satu kenyataan berbaur ugutan akan berlakunya kekacauan di atas program ceramah anjuran PR yang melibatkan Mohamad Sabu di Muar yang dirancang akan berlangsung pada 11 Disember ini seperti yang dikeluarkan di dalam akhbar Sinar Harian hari ini. Sedangkan sebagai sebuah negara yang mengamalkan demokrasi, Umno sepatutnya menghormati kebebasan program-program yang dianjurkan oleh parti lain, malah PR Muar telah memohon permit Polis dan mengikut saluran-saluran yang betul untuk anjuran program ini. ABU akan meneruskan program dari semasa ke semasa bagi memastikan Malaysia diperintah oleh parti yang menawarkan pentadbiran lebih baik. S.K Song turut mengumumkan bahawa pelancaran ABU dan forum peringkat kebangsaan akan diadakan pada 15 Disember ini di Markaz Tarbiyah PAS, Taman Melewar, Gombak. Sidang media pelancaran ABU yang sama turut berlangsung di seluruh negeri di Semenanjung Malaysia kecuali di Sabah dan Sarawak kerana aktivis ABU dihalang dari memasuki kedua-dua negeri itu. Antara yang menyertai ABU ketika ini termasuklah golongan mahasiswa, pekerja, petani, nelayan, pelbagai segmen NGO, parti pembangkang, golongan profesional, karyawan, mat rempit, penganggur dan kumpulan masyarakat yang tertindas di bawah pentadbiran Umno selama ini. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sidang Media Pelancaran ABU di Melaka Tempat: Pejabat Parti Keadilan Rakyat, No9A Jalan Asean 1, Taman Asean, Melaka Masa: 3.30pm Kehadiran Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM Melaka) NGI Wakil Peniaga Wakil Mahasiswa Mengapa 'Asalkan Bukan Umno' ? Penyelaras SAMM Melaka telah membangkitkan isu pembaziran sebagai satu isu paling terkesan di Melaka. Pembaziran ini berlaku ketika rakyat dipaksa untuk berhemah dalam berbelanja. Pembaziran-pembaziran ini juga menjadi punca ketirisan selain membantu kedudukan indeks rasuah negara mencecah paras terburuk dalam sejarah. Berikut adalah antara pembaziran jelas yang berlaku di Negeri Melaka; a) Eye On Malaysia disita. Fitraco NV memfailkan saman pada Eom dan MST Ad Suria Sdn Bhd (MST Ad Suria) pada 15 September tahun lalu, selepas syarikat terbabit gagal melunaskan hutang pinjamannya sebanyak RM17 juta bagi menyewa dan membawa roda berkenaan ke Malaysia pada 2006. Sebelum itu Kerajaan Negeri Melaka bersetuju untuk mengambil alih roda berkenaan setelah sebelum ini ianya beroperasi di Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, Kuala Lumpur dari 1 Januari 2007 hingga 31 Ogos 2008. Kerajaan Negeri Melaka mempunyai kepentingan di dalam Eye On Malaysia ini menerusi Eom, sebuah syarikat usahasama yang ditubuhkan bersama MST Ad Suria. Kerajaan negeri diwakili Kumpulan Melaka Berhad (KMB). RM8 juta duit rakyat Melaka hangus disebabkan kelemahan dan kelalaian kerajaan negeri Melaka pimpinan Ali Rustam. b) Pusat Bowling Antarabangsa Melaka (MIBC) yang dirasmikan pada 1Ogos 2009, yang terletak berdeketan MITC, Ayer Keroh yang mempunyai 52 lane telah menelan duit rakyat sebanyak RM15 juta. c) Projek Pulau Melaka terdiri dari 4,387 unit rumah kediaman dan 4,180 unit separa perniagaan termasuk pusat pelancongan mewah, hotel serta pelbagai aktiviti pantai dengan kos yang bernilai RM1.46 bilion dan dilaporkan telah terjual sebanyak RM195.3 juta iaitu sebanyak 1,419 unit sehingga 31 Januari 2005. Malangnya projek ini akhirnya menjadi projek gajah putih apabila sebahagian besar banguan yang dibina tidak siap dan tidak berpenghuni. Masjid yang tersergam indah tidak digunakan secara maksimum kerana tidak ramai orang Islam tinggal di kawasan tersebut. Walaupun kerajaan negeri cuba menukarkan projek ini menjadi 'Pulau Arab' namun hasilnya sehingga kini belum diketahui. d) Kincir air berharga RM1.47 juta di Sungai Melaka juga merupakan projek yang membazir. Tambahan pula kincir air ini rosak dan tidak dapat berfungsi. e) Projek Monorel yang menelan belanja sebanyak RM210 juta yang setakat ini telah berpuluh kali rosak. g) Dataran Klebang. Segalanya telah musnah samada struktur pantai, ekosistem laut, spesies hidupan laut, tempat tumpuan pelancong menikmati keindahan laut, membunuh para peniaga di pantai Klebang dan hilangnya satu indentiti Melaka iaitu belacan dan cencaluk kerana di sini merupakan tempat yang banyak menghasilkan penangkapan udang geragau yang diperlukan untuk membuat belacan dan cencaluk. Kerajaan hanya mementingkan keuntungan yang diperolehi dari pemaju saja tanpa memikirkan kelansungan hidup para nelayan. • Menara Taming Sari berharga RM23 juta • Projek Hang Tuah Mall berharga RM 8.5 juta; • Projek air terjun Bukit Beruang berharga RM 1.7 juta; • Projek pintu gerbang MBMB berharga RM 2.7 juta; • Jeti Parameswara berharga RM 13 juta; • Satu unit tandas awam berharga RM 125,000/- • Bandaraya Mall(Taj Mahal di Bangunan MBMB) berharga RM 4.5 juta; • Projek pesiaran kaki Jonker Walk sepanjang 600 meter berharga RM 1.8 juta atau RM 300 sekaki; • Bunga pasu berharga RM800 sebuah di sepanjang Jalan Bendahara; • Air pancut dan pesiaran kaki di depan Mahkota Parade berharga RM 2 juta dan jalan berbatu yang rosak sebaik ia disiap berharga RM 2.5 juta. • Projek mencantikkan Sungai Melaka telah makan belanja hamper RM 100 juta dan akan memakan belanja tambahan RM 100 juta lagi. Pihak kerajaan telah berjanji bahawa banjir kilat akan diatasi kerana air pasang tidak akan melimpah keluar dan air Sungai Melaka akan sebersih sehingga boleh cuci mata. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sidang Media Pelancaran ABU di Negeri Sembilan Tempat: Jalan Tuanku Antah, Tingkat 1, Restoran Bidara Corner, Seremban Masa: 3.30pm Kehadiran SAMM N.Sembilan - Sdr Saufi (Penyelaras SAMM N.S), sdr Azizi, Sdr Sani, Sdr Yaser PEWARIS N.Sembilan Kelab Bermotor United Shark - Sdr Saiful Wakil peneroka Felda Sendayan - Sdr Daud Idris Wakil Pengusaha Restoran - Sdr Musliady Wakil Nelayan - Noor Aiza Wakil Mahasiswa - Sdr Farel Mengapa 'Asalkan Bukan Umno' ? Saudara Musliady wakil dari pengusaha restoran membangkitkan isu kenaikkan harga barang berasaskan makanan dan keperluan harian menyebabkan kesulitan untuk pihak pengusaha restoran meletakkan harga jualan. Sdr Daud wakil Peneroka Felda Sendaya meluahkan rasa kecewa peneroka Felda yang menjadi mangsa penipuan Felda selama puluhan tahun. Selain itu, FELDA juga dikhuatiri terdedah kepada risiko rasuah dan ketirisan memandangkan pengerusi FELDA pernah terlibat dengan jenayah rasuah untuk kepentingan politik. Wakil dari kelab motor United Shark, saudara Saiful pula mengetengahkan isu insfrastruktur untuk sukan permotoran di N.Sembilan yang begitu terhad, menyebabkan Negeri Sembilan begitu terkenal dengan aksi 'merempit di malam minggu'. Semua wakil dari Negeri Sembilan termasuk wakil PEWARIS bersetuju untuk menyokong kempen Asalkan Bukan Umno dan akan turut hadir dalam program raksasa Rapat Rakyat ABU pada 15 Disember 2011. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sidang Media Pelancaran ABU di Perak Tempat: Pejabat Biro Masyarakat Keadilan, Ipoh Masa: 3.30pm Kehadiran Wakil PKR - YB Chang Lih Kang SAMM Perak - Sdr Mat Saman Kati, Sdr Alfa MCLM Perak - Sdr Mat Noh NGI Untuk sidang media negeri Perak, sila rujuk klip video di bawah; Mengapa 'Asalkan Bukan Umno' ? Isu tempatan yang membuatkan rakyat negeri Perak terus membenci Umno ialah Rampasan Kuasa di Perak pada Febuari 2009. Cacamerba yang berlaku di Perak akhirnya terdiri sebuah kerajaan haram di mana Umno sebagai dalangnya dan Najib pula sebagai petualangnya. Dengan ini, gabungan besar dari Perak menyatakan sokongan penuh kempen ABU dan akan bersama dalam program Rapat Rakyat ABU pada 15 Disember 2011 di Taman Melewar. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sidang Media Pelancaran ABU di Kedah Tempat: 345A Air Mendideh, Sg Petani Masa: 3.30pm Kehadiran SAMM Kedah - Sdr Angah Habib PRM - Tok Gandang MCLM - Sdr Viveg Gabungan Kedah menyokong penuh Kempen ABU  ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sidang Media Pelancaran ABU di Perlis Tempat: Kelab Media Perlis, Jalan Sekolah Derma, Kangar, Perlis Masa: 3.30pm Kehadiran SAMM Perlis - Asrul (Ketua Penyelaras SAMM Perlis) Wakil Parti Keadilan - Amran Kamarudin (SUK Keadilan Perlis), Zamri Sapar (Bekas Ketua AMK Perlis) Wakil Mahasiswa - Farhan Azis Wakil Peniaga - Lee Mom Leong Antara NGI yang hadir - Zaidi(Peniaga pasar sehari), Siah Teow Eng(usahawan), Shukri(pengusaha cybercafe), Azmi(pencen kakitangan kerajaan) Mengapa 'Asalkan Bukan Umno' ? 1. Isu Banjir di Perlis yang tidak selesai apabila rakyat masih belum nampak bilakah projek saliran dari Empangan Timah Tasoh terus ke Laut berjaya disiapkan. 2. Isu perebutan kuasa dalam pelbagai kem Umno di Perlis membuatkan rakyat menjadi semakin meluat dengan Umno. 3. Isu peluang pekerjaan yang terhad menyebabkan ramai anak perlis yang mempunyai tenaga mahir berhijrah ke negeri lain. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sidang Media Pelancaran ABU di Pahang Sidang media ABU peringkat negeri Pahang berlangsung di Bilik Pusat Khidmat PKR Adun Semambu. Antara yang hadir menyokong pelancaran ABU dalam sidang media ini termasuk; Clement  (SMSL) Hatta (SAMM) Andansura, Mat dan Ali Akhbar (PAS) Allen Lee (PKR) Antara Isu tempatan yang dibawa dalam sidang media ini ialah isu Lynas yang mengancam keselamatan bukan sahaja penduduk setempat, tetapi turut menjadi ancaman kepada seluruh negara. Penduduk negeri Pahang dan Sempadan di Terengganu akan terkesan dengan risiko radioaktif. Antara yang terkandung dalam kenyataan media yang diedar di seluruh negara mengenai Lynas; Kini keselamatan rakyat akan terancam dengan kewujudan kilang Lynas dimana kesan radioaktif akan membahayakan mereka. Alasan petroleum semakin kering digunakan bagi kononnya mencari sumber ekonomi yang baru malah wang simpanan Negara telah masuk ke dalam poket pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO/BN dan kroninya. Lynas akan menjamin keuntungan mereka walaupun membahayakan rakyat. Ini isu nasional yang harus dilawan bersama, namun rakyat setempat perlu main peranan lebih penting kerana rakyat setempatlah merupakan kumpulan paling terdedah pelbagai risiko yang merosakkan keturunan ini. Semua wakil sidang menyokong ABU dan bersedia untuk mobilisasi rapat ABU pada 15 Disember.   ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sidang Media Pelancaran ABU di Kelantan   Masa    : 3.30pm Tempat  : Hotel Raudah, Kota Bharu, Kelantan 1. Gerakan Bertindak Royalti Rakyat Kelantan (GEGAR) 2. Forum Anak Muda Kelantan (AMUK) 3. Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM Kelantan) 4. BERSIH Kelantan 5. Subway Photographer 6. Dewan Pemuda PAS Kelantan                7. Angkatan Muda Keadilan Kelantan  Mengapa 'Asalkan Bukan Umno' ? Di Peringkat Negeri Kelantan pula, kita dapat saksikan betapa hampir 24 tahun Rakyat & Negeri Kelantan dinafikan haknya dari segi pembangunan dimana semenjak pemerintahan bertukar tangan dari UMNO/BN kepada PAS, 118 projek Pembangunan bermula dari RMK-5 sehingga RMK-10 telah disekat oleh UMNO/BN yang menerajui Pentadbiran Kerajaan Pusat. Selama hampir 24 tahun juga Rakyat Kelantan telah dinafikan haknya dari segi pembangunan infrastruktur apabila Jalanraya-Jalanraya utama yang penyeliaannya berada dibawah kawalan Kerajaan Pusat tidak diselenggara dengan baik malah Permohonan Kerajaan Negeri untuk mendapatkan Peruntukan bagi pemulihan dan pembinaan lebuhraya yang lebih baik untuk kemudahan Rakyat Kelantan juga diabaikan oleh UMNO/BN yang menerajui Kerajaan Pusat. Begitu juga dalam isu Air Kelantan yang pada akhir-akhir ini dimainkan oleh UMNO/BN dan Semua Rakyat Negeri Kelantan juga perlu ingat bagaimana Hasil Bumi Negeri Kelantan iaitu Petrolium dan Gas dirompak dan dinafikan hak Royaltinya dengan pelbagai alasan yang tidak masuk akal berbeza dengan 3 Negeri lain dibawah kekuasaan UMNO/BN (Sabah, Sarawak dan Terengganu) yang menikmati pembayaran Royalti dari Hasil Bumi Petrolium dan Gas Negeri masing-masing.  Nota dari Blogger NGI Mengapa ABU harus menjadi asas dalam memilih ketika pilihanraya yang akan datang? Jasa sesuatu pemerintah bukan pertimbangan untuk mengekalkan mereka. Itu adalah tanggungjawab mereka. Mereka yang datang dan menawarkan diri. Gaji mereka dibayar oleh rakyat. Mereka adalah kuli dan pekerja kepada rakyat. Apabila "Asal Bukan UMNO" (ABU) ini menjadi kenyataan, maka, pemerintah yang baru adalah pemerintah yang berasa takut kepada rakyat. Mereka berasa tidak selamat untuk melakukan kejahatan kerana pemerintah yang baru adalah pemerintah yang bila-bila masa boleh dijatuhkan rakyat kembali. Untuk kontek Kelantan, asas atau falsafah ABU harus menjadi pertimbangan kerana : 1. Hasil bumi Kelantan yang dirompak dari Kelantan. Diagih-agihkan kepada negeri-negeri UMNO yang boros dan rasuah. Antara hasil bumi Kelantan ialah petroleum, gas, pengambilan hutan Kelantan untuk dijadikan Taman Negara tanpa bayaran royalti, dan sebagainya. 2. Sabotaj Kelantan dalam belanjawan negara setiap tahun. Cukai dipungut dari setiap peluh anak Kelantan. Hasil bumi dikaut dari setiap inci bumi Kelantan. Tetapi, dimansuhkan negeri Kelantan dalam setiap kali belanjawan negara dibentangkan. 3. Dakwaan kepada memonopoli, ugut dan penipuan gred kepada petani-petani Kelantan. Padi, beras dan kelapa sawit. 4. Dakwaan kepada mengugut pentadbiran awam Kelantan. Dengan tindakan tukar ke luar daerah atau daerah yang sukar. 5. Pemulauan terhadap pendidikan anak Kelantan. Sekatan bantuan terhadap institusi pondok agama dan sekolah agama rakyat (SAR). 6. Isu kedaulatan Negeri Kelantan. UMNO/BN gagal menjawab dakwaan sesetengah pihak bahawa projek pemberian IC kepada warga Thailand, sekaligus menjadikan mereka dwi warganegara dan boleh mengundi untuk menentukan hidup mati anak peribumi Kelantan. 7. Dakwaan terhadap sabotaj pembinaan janakuasa elektrik pada tempat-tempat tertentu, dimana ianya bertujuan menghalang rakyat Kelantan mendapat kemudahan air yang sempurna. 8. Projek-projek kerajaan pusat yang dilewat-lewatkan. Ada yang dimansuhkan. Bertujuan menghukum keputusan demokrasi rakyat Kelantan. 9. Membenarkan UMNO sendiri, MCA dan MIC memburuk-burukkan dan menghina hudud yang terkandung dalam Al-Quran. 9 perkara ini adalah antara hujah mengapa falsafah ABU wajib digunakan dalam pertimbangan mengundi di pilihanraya kelak. Kami menyeru kepada seluruh rakyat Kelantan khasnya, Malaysia umumnya, supaya mendapatkan satu suasana pilitik baru yang lebih segar, terbuka pada masa akan datang dengan menjatuhkan UMNO/BN. Sesuatu keuntungan yang tidak ternilai kepada rakyat adalah apabila mendapat satu pemerintahan yang sangat takut kepada rakyatnya sendiri. Dengan ini juga, kami mengumumkan pada 15 Disember 2011 ham 8.30 malam, satu forum terbesar ABU akan diadakan di Markaz PAS Taman Melewar, Kuala Lumpur. Sekian, terima kasih. - Aduka Taruna ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sidang Media Pelancaran ABU di Terengganu Tempat:  Muara Tomyam, Jalan Sultan Sulaiman, K.Terengganu Masa: 5.00pm SAMM Terengganu - Rafzi Ramli Wakil PSM - Sdr Zaidi Wakil Peniaga Wakil Nelayan Wakil petani Mengapa 'Asalkan Bukan Umno'? Terengganu merupakan sebuah negari yang kaya dengan hasil bumi. Petrolium berkualiti tinggi disedut dari pesisir laut Terengganu berpuluh tahun tetapi kedudukkan Terengganu yang menjadi negeri nombor dua termiskin dalam Malaysia menimbulkan persoalan besar. Sepatutnya Terengganu menjadi sebuah negeri yang kaya memandangkan dalam semenanjung Malaysia ini hanya Terengganu selain Kelantan, menjana pendapatan terbesar negara melalui industri petrolium dan gas. PETRONAS seumpamanya menjadi syarikat terbaik dan terkaya dari Malaysia namun Terengganu terus miskin. Terengganu menuntut jumlah royalti yang lebih besar berbanding 5 peratus yang ditawarkan selama ini. Pembangunan Insfrastruktur di Terengganu juga amat mengecewakan. Kerajaan yang dikuasai oleh Umno telah berbelanja secara mewah tetapi menyediakan kualiti yang sangat rendah. Runtuhan Stadium Tuanku Sultan Mizan adalah lambang ketirisan Umno dan akhirnya segala baikpulih juga banyak yang ditanggung oleh wang rakyat. Kerajaan Terengganu yang dipimpin Umno juga telah gagal dalam projek pertanian yang menelan belanja berjuta ringgit di Terengganu. Kerajaan Umno di Terengganu juga merupakan sebuah kerajaan yang kuat membazir wang rakyat, ketika lebih ramai rakyat yang hidup miskin selain daripada banyak merugikan rakyat dan negara. Antara konsep yang dikenali sebagai Gajah Putih ini ialah Projek Monsun Cup. Pembinaan untuk projek ini menelan belanja 300 juta ringgit dan kos penganjuran selama 4 tahun setakat ini telah menelan belanja lebih dari 200 juta ringgit. Jika di campurkan kedua-dua jumlah ini ianya telah mencecah 500 juta ringgit duit rakyat dibelanjakan. Selain itu, Projek Masjid Kristal yang dibina berhampiran dengan bandaraya Kuala Terengganu. Projek ini menelan belanja sebanyak 259 juta ringgit. Tidak ada pun peluang pekerjaan yang boleh di manfaatkan oleh masyarakat sekitar. Mengapa masjid yang menelan berjuta ringgit itu dibina di kawasan yang tidak cukup qariah? Lebih pelik, berhampiran dengan masjid kristal terdapat sebuah masjid yang sudah lama didirikan. Ia satu pembaziran dan rakyat wajib menolak Umno dalam PRU akan datang! Pembaziran ini juga suatu ketirisan dalam pentadbiran. Ke mana perginya duit yang sepatutnya boleh dijimat? Dengan alasan ini juga, gabungan NGO di Terengganu menyokong kempen ABU dan akan bersama menjayakan Rapat Rakyat ABU pada 15 Ogos nanti. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sidang Media Pelancaran ABU di Selangor/WPKL (Nasional) Tempat: KLSCAH Masa: 3.30pm Kenyataan Media (Peringkat Nasional) ABU - Asalkan Bukan Umno 9 Disember 2011 9 Disember, 2011: Kami merayu dan menyeru kepada semua; pekerja, petani, nelayan, persatuan dan pertubuhan, badan kerajaan dan bukan kerajaan (NGO), parti politik komponen Barisan Nasional, kecuali UMNO, parti pembangkang atau parti politik bebas, golongan profesional, ahli akademik dan cendiakawan, mahasiswa, karyawan, para artis dan pekerja seni, malah semua kelompok rakyat tersisih dan tertindas (marginalised) seperti kumpulan Mat Rempit, gelandangan (homeless), penganggur (jobless) dan lain-lain supaya melahirkan dengan nyata (melalui kenyataan media seperti ini atau tunjuk perasaan dan sebagainya) rasa tidak yakin kita masing-masing terhadap UMNO yang sudah tidak sedar diri, korup, angkuh, menindas, zalim dan kebelakangan ini BODOH SOMBONG!!! Kini bukan masanya lagi untuk kita terus mendiamkan diri dan tidak mahu ambil tahu, kecuali anda rela mewariskan Malaysia yang musnah kepada generasi akan datang. Masihkah kita tidak nampak atau sengaja mahu membiarkan saja apabila sisa-baki hak demokratik rakyat yang hanya tinggal secebis itu pun dinafikan, manakala segala tuntutan rakyat terus diabaikan? Sepanjang pemerintahan UMNO/BN kita semua juga sebenarnya telah bersama-sama menyumbang –akibat sikap kita yang 'biarkanlah', 'tidak kisah' serta 'ignorant', dll– dalam menyemai kuasa kuku besi pemerintah yang kejam hinggalah kini kuasa itu menjadi parah dan terlalu mencengkam. ABU akan melancarkan kempen ke seluruh Negara untuk menyeru rakyat supaya berani menyatakan pendirian jijik dan perasaan meluat mereka terhadap penyelewengan dan rasuah yang UMNO/BN amalkan, lantas dengan tidak teragak-agak menolak UMNO/BN. Kesan yang kini dirasai rakyat ialah kenaikan harga barang yang melampau. 80 peratus rakyat Malaysia kini terpaksa menanggung beban kos sarahidup yang semakin tinggi. Sedangkan pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO/BN dan kroninya hidup dengan mewah sekali. Kewujudan undang-undang kejam yang menekan dan menzalimi rakyat sehingga teguran dan rintihan rakyat tidak dipedulikan. Bantahan rakyat dengan angkuh diperangi secara kejam dan ganas. Kini timbul pula undang-undang Perhimpunan Aman 2011 yang langsung tidak masuk akal. Politik perkauman digunakan untuk menakutkan rakyat. Taktik 'pecah' dan 'perintah' dilaksanakan untuk menutup berita penyelewengan dan rasuah serta boros dan tamaknya pemimpin-peminpin UMNO/BN ini. Selama pemerintahan UMNO/BN rakyat Malaysia didodoikan dengan slogan perkauman sempit. Kini isu agama dicipta dan diapi-apikan untuk memastikan kelangsungan jangkahayat politik UMNO/BN. Kini keselamatan rakyat akan terancam dengan kewujudan kilang Lynas dimana kesan radioaktif akan membahayakan mereka. Alasan petroleum semakin kering digunakan bagi kononnya mencari sumber ekonomi yang baru malah wang simpanan Negara telah masuk ke dalam poket pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO/BN dan kroninya. Lynas akan menjamin keuntungan mereka walaupun membahayakan rakyat. Operator-operator kami di seluruh Negara sudahpun menjalankan kerja-kerja penerangan kepada rakyat, termasuk anggota polis, tentera dan kakitangan awam agar lebih celik kepada pembohongan dan kekejaman yang dilakukan pada mereka oleh UMNO/BN. Kini, ketika cebisan harapan hak-hak rakyat dalam keadaan uzur kritikal yang hampir saja mustahil dapat dipertahankan akibat dibantai pemerintah selama ini, apakah lagi alasan dapat mewajarkan ketakutan dibiarkan bermaharaja-lela membungkam suara hati kita? Apabila tuntutan rakyat tidak dihiraukan malah terus saja dipersendakan pemerintah, cukupkah sekadar bersandarkan alasan-alasan ideal (umpamanya; apolitical, non-partisan, impartial dan macam-macam lagi) sebagai lapik indah. Sudah tiba masanya bagi kita untuk tidak lagi menghalalkan sifat 'dayus' dan 'bacul' kita dengan terus kekal takut untuk bangkit berjuang menyatakan pendirian dan terus menolak UMNO/BN. Dengan ini kami umumkan pada 15 Disember 2011 jam 8.00 malam satu forum besar-besaran akan diadakan di KL-Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall. Forum yang akan dihadiri oleh rakyat dari seluruh Negara ini akan juga membuat satu lagi pengumuman besar yang akan merubah situasi politik di Negara Malaysia ABU - Satu Gerakkan Massa Dari Rakyat Untuk Rakyat !

• PRU-13: Pekida ikrar pangkah BN
• Video hina hudud ada kaitan dengan Noh Omar?
• PAS ganti UMNO?

PRU-13: Pekida ikrar pangkah BN Posted: 13 Dec 2011 03:39 PM PST Presiden Pekida, Jamaluddin Yusof berkata tidak cukup untuk pertubuhan itu memberi sokongan moral semata-mata memandangkan kemenangan BN pada PRU-13 kelak menjadi keutamaan bersama. "Kita bagi sokongan dengan mengajak ahli-ahli Pekida untuk memenangkan BN agar kekal memerintah negara. Sokongan moral sahaja tidak cukup, maka kita mahu ahli-ahli pangkah BN pada pilihan raya nanti. Kerana pada anggapan Pekida BN menjalankan pemerintahan dengan berkesan. "Semua ahli-ahli Pekida perlu sokong BN….kita ibarat adik-beradik maka akan sama dan perlu bantu antara satu sama lain. Pekida bertanggungjawab untuk memenangkan BN supaya orang Melayu bernafas. "Tapi bagaimana untuk kami gerakan kepada ahli-ahli ia adalah rahsia," katanya kepada FMT. Pekida kini mempunyai dua juta ahli di seluruh negara dengan mantan Perdana Menteri Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi adalah merupakan penaung bagi pertubuhan berkenaan. Sementara itu, Jamaluddin mengakui bahawa sokongan orang Melayu terutama anak muda menjadi pertikaian memandangkan mereka kini lebih banyak terpengaruh dengan fahaman luar. Sokongan anak muda terhakis Katanya ia menjadi ancaman kepada kepimpinan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak untuk mengekalkan pemerintahannya kerana secara tidak langsung menghakis sokongan anak muda kepada pemimpin nombor satu negara tersebut. Walau bagaimanapun, menurut Jamaluddin Pekida mempunyai 'cara' tertentu untuk menarik minat golongan anak muda ini terus menyokong BN. Namun beliau enggan menjelaskan secara terperinci perkara itu, dan sebaliknya berkata ada perkara tertentu perlu diselesaikan Najib sebelum mengadakan PRU-13 nanti. READ MORE HERE

Video hina hudud ada kaitan dengan Noh Omar? Posted: 13 Dec 2011 03:34 PM PST Penerbit video ini juga adalah orang yang sama yang menguruskan laman web Puteri Umno Selangor dan Umno Tanjung Karang di samping blog Pena Noh Omar itu. "Besar kemungkinan dia adalah orang kuat Noh Omar," kata seorang blogger yang juga menerbitkan video klip bagi mendedahkan siapa sebenarnya di belakang video klip yang menghina hukum hudud ini. Video klip pendedahan itu diterbitkan oleh Malaysianews di laman Youtube. Pelbagai pihak kesal dengan tindakan pihak kerajaan tidak mengambil apa-apa tindakan terhadap penghinaan yang dibuat oleh video klip sembang rakyat itu. Drs Khalil Idham Lim mempersoalkan mengapa Menteri Penerangan, Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan, Datuk Seri Rais Yatim terus membisu terhadap video yang berjudul 'Musim Hudud Pas' dan 'Lagi Hudud PAS' itu secara jelas mengelirukan umat Islam di Malaysia yang telah disebar luas di laman Facebook dan Youtube baru-baru ini. "Kita tidak boleh nafikan bahawa sejak akhir-akhir ini media boleh direka dalam pelbagai bentuk dan corak kerana perkembangan teknologi yang pesat, tetapi seharusnya tidak boleh sehingga menghina agama lebih-lebih lagi Islam itu sendiri. "Kita amat khuatir terhadap perkembangan sebegini memandangkan para pelakonnya terdiri dari orang Islam dan ada di antaranya berlakon yang sebagai agamawan di samping penggunaan kamera beresolusi tinggi yang sudah pastinya mahal harganya," ujar Ketua Sekretariat Pakatan Rakyat Perak itu. Beliau yang juga Adun Titi Serong berkata, klip video itu juga mempunyai unsur yang boleh mencetuskan salah faham serta penghinaan terhadap hukum Islam. Menurut Malaysianews, kaitan antara video klip sembang rakyat itu amat jelas dengan Noh Omar dan Umno Selangor. Ia mempunyai persamaan antara satu sama lain melalui emailnya iaitu " ajaff8@gmail.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

PAS ganti UMNO? Posted: 13 Dec 2011 11:30 AM PST Muqadimah Program PAS Ganti UMNO (PGU) telahpun dilancarkan awal tahun ini.  Ia merupakan satu slogan bagi meyakini orang ramai bahawa ketiadaan UMNO sebagai parti dominon bukanlah bererti orang Melayu hilang arah kerana PAS akan tampil untuk mengambil alih kepimpinan dan politik orang Melayu.  Ini bersandarkan kepada realiti bahawa PAS adalah merupakan parti komponen PR yang terbesar berpandukan kepada keahlian, jentera dan pengalaman.  Saya boleh bersetuju PGU dalam konteks pengambilalihan kepimpinan politik Melayu tapi awas!  Kalau ganti itu membawa makna PAS akan ganti "perangai" UMNO di tampuk pemerintahan, saya akan menolak slogan PGU.  Itulah yang diluahkan oleh Timbalan Presiden PAS dalam ucapannya yang disiarkan dalam MerdekaReview pada 5 Disember 2011, ditulis oleh Lim Hong Siang. Jangan Ganti Perangai UMNO Perangai buruk UMNO sebagai parti yang memerintah kerajaan persekutuan hari ini boleh disimpulkan dalam satu permasalahan yang dinamakan sebagai isu integriti.  Persoalan ini menghantui UMNO dan mendapat persepsi yang buruk di kalangan rakyat.  Apakah PAS ganti UMNO untuk rakyat nanti menyaksikan pemimpin PAS hidup mewah di luar kemampuannya?  Ataukah bakal-bakal Menteri dalam kabinet Pakatan nanti khususnya PAS akan mengulangi "perangai" minta komisyen atau salahguna kuasa yang ada?  Itukah maksud PGU?  Persoalan ini membimbangkan Timbalan Presiden PAS itu. Islam dan Muslimin Mohamad bin Sabu atau lebih dikenali sebagai Mat Sabu melontarkan satu ide tentang bagaimana Barat lebih dilihat Islamik dari sudut tatacara kelola kewangan negara, ketelusan dan integriti sebuah kerajaan dan hak asasi manusia.  Saya teringat akan kata-kata ulamak Islam Syeikh Muhamad Abduh (1849-1905) ketika dia melawat Eropah dia mengkagumi kemajuan dan ketamadunan Eropah (Barat) yang nilainya sama dengan Islam.  Dia berkata, "I went to the West and saw Islam, I got back to the East and saw Muslims but not Islam".  Saya yakin Mat Sabu tidak berkata tanpa satu pengamatan dari susur galur kebangkitan Eropah dan zaman malap tamadun Islam.  Apa yang malang dari kenyataan Mat Sabu ialah keadaan tidak berubah sejak ia diucapkan oleh Syeikh Muhammad Abduh kurun yang lampau. Tunjuk contoh dulu Saya memahami bahawa apa yang disebut oleh Timbalan Presiden PAS itu didasari oleh kebimbangan melihat masa depan PAS dan Pakatan Rakyat secara umum jikalau diberi amanah untuk memerintah.  Ini adalah kerana tidak ada gunanya kita melaungkan reformasi atau islah jika kita gagal membuat perubahan dan membongkah akar umbi kebusukan yang akan ditinggalkan oleh regim lama BN.  Kalau kita mengulangi kebusukan BN maka reformasi kita hanya kosmetik dan hanya tukar baju tapi dalam penuh dengan panau dan kurap.  Saya berpendapat bahawa kenyataan Mat Sabu mewakili ramai dari rakyat yang mahukan perubahan yang tulen dan bukan palsu. Jalan sukar Berkenaan dengan Arab Spring Revolution yang menumbangkan kebusukan regim diktator dunia Arab, saya berpendapat perubahan regim yang berlaku akan mengalami jalan yang sukar dan berliku.  Ini adalah kerana buat sekian lama dunia Arab bukan sahaja berada di bawah pemerintahan kuku besi tetapi kedudukan sosial dan strata masyarakat serta keadaan ekonomi membentuk satu cabaran yang besar kepada order baru seperti Tunisia, Mesir, Libya dan Syria. Pengajaran Pengalaman kebangkitan Arab mengajar kita untuk membuat lonjakan dalam melakar perubahan regim.  Saya mencadangkan bagi mengukuhkan pandangan Mat Sabu (gambar kiri), lonjakan kita mesti melibatkan program kesedaran, pemodelan negeri Pakatan sebagai contoh dan reformasi parti-parti politik yang perlu dilihat telus dalam menyusun sistem organisasi parti.  Parti-parti politik kita khususnya komponen Pakatan masih tidak menunjukkan kesungguhan mereformasi partinya dulu sebelum mampu mengemukakan reformasi politik. Mat Sabu saja yang tahu Adapun kenyataan Mat Sabu yang mengatakan golongan kiri dan liberal Barat lebih dilihat bersungguh mengamalkan integriti, ia adalah satu cabaran besar kepada parti Islam yang seharusnya mengungguli prinsip integriti berdasarkan prinsip moral yang dilaungkan.  Apakah benar kebimbangan Mat Sabu itu, adakah benar dakwaan beberapa EXCO Kelantan tidak mencerminkan kehidupan sederhana yang dilaungkan oleh PAS? Saya tidak mempunyai jawapan, hanya Mat Sabu yang tahu apakah maksud yang tersirat daripada kenyataannya.  Namun mengenali Mat Sabu, beliau adalah orang yang setia kepada parti dan tidak mempunyai apa-apa kepentingan apabila memberi pandangan.  Saya juga berpendapat Mat Sabu berada sebagai orang nombor dua parti Islam untuk menjalankan tugas mengocak air yang tenang supaya parti jangan berada di zon selesa.
