| Bitter Pill For Dr M: Old Foe Anwar Giving Him a Run For His Money in GE-13 Posted: 29 Mar 2012 06:55 PM PDT Former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad has admitted that it would be difficult to predict the results of the 13th general election due to the “confusing” signals received from the ground. “What is certain, it won’t be easy for BN to get two-thirds majority this time. The opposition now is not like that of the past, and the current situation is rather confusing,” Bernama reported Mahathir as saying. Such an acknowledgement must have been hard for Mahathir to make, given that the Pakatan Rakyat opposition coalition is led by Anwar Ibrahim, whom he has tried hard to chop down to size and even oust from the political arena completely. In 1998, fearing Anwar’s popularity and growing clout with the Malays, Mahathir threw trumped-up sodomy and corruption charges at his his former deputy and succeeded in jailing Anwar for 6 years. It was only after Mahathir retired that the Federal Court could summon enough courage to overthrow the charges and acquit Awar. Now 64, Anwar is poised to lead the Pakatan into its second general election as a coalition. Although denied formal registration by the Registrar of Societies, the Pakatan parties of PKR, PAS and DAP have signed a Common Policy Framework and agreed on a joint manifesto – the Buku Jingga – for GE-13.Meanwhile, GE-13 is expected to be held before the end of this year. Gaining strength Since the 12th general election in 2008, the Pakatan has been gaining from strength to strength, with two of the four states it governs – Selangor and Penang – praised by the Auditor General as the best managed. Both Penang and Selangor have also drawn most FDI, trouncing the BN-ruled states. A resurgent Anwar and Pakatan are now rated as having an even chance on improving on their 2008 electoral performance, with many pundits predicting they might even wrest the federal government from Prime Minister Najib Razak. Mahathir apparently shares this view, saying that the various assumptions made about the support for BN were fluid, with some people saying it was increasing and others saying otherwise. Mahathir did not point the finger at anyone, but a day ago, he called on Najib to allow ‘outsiders’ to contest for seats under the Umno ticket. Mahathir lamented the shortage of ‘smart’ Malays in Umno, a situation that perhaps he is most to blame for due to his refusal to soften his hardline stance during his 22-year rule from 1981 to 2003. Indeed, during his tenure, Malaysia experience huge ‘brain drain” including from the Malay community, but Mahathir had always dismissed the issue as minor and with a ‘let them leave if they wish’. “None of Mahathir policies contributed to building a succession line in Umno, so what is there to say now. And the damage was not only to Umno but extended to the overall economy, where Malaysia lost talent beyond what it could afford. The effects on the economy are being played out now and if not reversed soon by fresh policies and reforms, we can expect further all-encompassing deterioration,” Ramon Navaratnam, the chairman of the Centre for Public Policy Studies, told Malaysia Chronicle. Najib failed to deliver In recent weeks, former Finance minister Daim Zainuddin had predicted BN would easily win in only three states – Johor, Melaka and Pahang. A large portion of the blame has been directed at Najib for failing to lead Umno-BN out of its quagmire. Umno appointed Najib as their president in 2009 after forcing his predecessor Abdullah Badawi into early retirement for losing 5 states out of 13 to the Pakatan as well as the BN’s long-held two-thirds majority in Parliament. Mahathir and other Umno leaders had hoped that Najib would reverse the slide and regain the crucial two-thirds majority, which would allow them to amend key laws to stay in power for perhaps a few more decades. But Najib’s clumsy political maneuvers were soon rejected by the people, who now see him as a fraud. In his comments, it was telling for Daim to point out that if Najib failed to improve on Badawi’s results, he would have to step down in favor of either his deputy Muhyiddin Yassin or a ‘new challenger’. So far, no dark horse has emerged but bets are on that it could be Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, who has lambasted Najib for his uneven-handed policies and lack of leadership. During Najib’s tenure which began in April 2009, Malaysia suffered its worst bouts of racial and religious intolerance. Extremist groups such as Perkasa and Jati were fostered and allowed to flourish. At the same time, Najib preached policies of moderation to the West. But it looks like even they have found him out, with the influential Washington Post slamming him as a “champion of double-talk”. Nonetheless, even with his mandate to rule expiring in March 2013, Najib has continued with the same strategies of gutter politicking against Anwar, using racism and religious bigotry to scare the Malays into voting for Umno so that it can ‘protect’ them from the non-Malays. Meawhile, the economy remains neglected and soft due to Najib’s frequent overseas trips which have been criticized for burning a hole in taxpayers’ pockets. Corruption remains at a record high, with Malaysia slipping 4 spots to 60 in the 2011 Transparency International Corruption Perception Index. Malaysia scored 4.3 compared to New Zealand, the least corrupt at 9.5, and Somalia and North Korea who each scored 1.0, making them the two most corrupt nations in the survey. In ASEAN, Singapore scored 9.3 and Brunei 6.3. |
| Ketua Pembangkang: Pakatan Rakyat Sedia Ganti Anwar Dengan Najib Selepas PRU-13 Posted: 29 Mar 2012 06:18 PM PDT Menjawab soalan sama ada Pakatan Rakyat (PR) bersedia menukar Ketua Pembangkang, Setiausaha Agung PAS, Datuk Mustafa Ali (gambar) berkata, ya. "Selepas pilihan raya ke-13, kita memang nak Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim digantikan oleh Datuk Seri Najib atau Tan Sri Muhyiddin sebagai Ketua Pembangkang," kata beliau kepada Harakahdaily. Mustafa berkata petang tadi, beliau ditanya wartawan daripada media perdana mengenai tindakan seterusnya yang akan dilakukan Pakatan Rakyat sekiranya Anwar berjaya dilucutkan jawatan di parlimen oleh impeachment yang cuba dibawa Datuk S Nallakaruppan dan peguam Datuk Seri Dr Muhammad Shafee Abdullah dalam permainan politik kuning Umno terbaru terhadap Anwar dalam isu biseksual. Apabila wartawan tersebut bertanya samada PR bersedia menukar Ketua Pembangkang sekiranya berlaku, Mustafa yang lebih dikenali dengan panggilan Cikgu Pa memilih untuk menjawab secara sinis soalan nakal beliau dengan menyatakan setuju bahawa Anwar digantikan dengan Najib dan Muhyiddin sebagai Ketua Pembangkang selepas PRU13. Terdahulunya, Shafee berkata usul yang dikemukakan Nalla akan dibawa ke jawatankuasa disiplin parlimen bagi membolehkan Anwar digantung atau mengosongkan kerusi itu. Membalas tindakan Nalla dan Shafee, Naib Presiden PKR, N Surendran berkata pengusulan pelucutan jawatan Anwar sebagai Ketua Pembangkang menandakan kedua-dua mereka jahil undang-undang. "Tiada peruntukan atau rujukan kes untuk pelucutan jawatan di Dewan Rakyat. Di England, kali terakhir ia dipakai pada 200 tahun dahulu dan kini sudah lapuk. Rasional pelucutan jawatan adalah untuk menjamin kebertanggungjawaban menteri dan eksekutif dalam pentadbiran. Adanya usul undi tidak percaya, jawatankuasa terpilih dan soal jawab tertutup parlimen menjadikan prosedur ini bahan sejarah. "Contoh Bill Clinton yang digunakan Shafee juga menunjukkan beliau jahil akan mekanisme pelucutan jawatan di Amerika, yang diguna untuk memecat anggota Kerajaan Persekutuan seperti Presiden," katanya. Sementara itu, Timbalan Yang Dipertua Dewan Rakyat, Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar hari ini berkata tiada peruntukan untuk usul melucutkan jawatan Anwar atas persoalan peribadi dan bukan salah laku beliau di Dewan Rakyat samada dari segi pertuturan dan tindakan. "Tiada mekanisme untuk itu. Dalam standing orders, pun tak ada," kata beliau di lobi parlimen. |
| Anwar: Real Leaders Fight For The People, Not Cronies Posted: 29 Mar 2012 05:13 PM PDT True leaders must have the courage to act in the best interests of the people to ensure the cost of living remains reasonable, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said yesterday. Focusing on the economy and rising cost of living, the opposition leader stressed that a prime minister should do what is best for the public, not pander to "cronies" who benefited from lopsided deals with the government at the expense of the people. Anwar gets up close and personal at last night's ceramah in Bangi. — Picture by Yow Hong Chieh "Do you think I'm like Najib? I went to jail but when they opened the door, I fought. I went to jail and got thrashed but after I fixed my back, I fought. Lawan tetap lawan!" he said to cheers from over 700 supporters at Stadium MPKJ here. Walking among the crowd with a wireless microphone in hand, the PKR de facto chief also challenged Najib yet again to debate him on policy matters, taunting the Umno president: "Face me if you are a real fighter." "A leader must be brave to defend his leadership, not focus on red carpets… Those are just the trappings of power," he said. "You are a leader, and so you must be responsible for your policies and answer my questions… This country is rich but the income gap between the wealthy and poor continues to widen." Najib has so far declined to debate with the opposition leader. Anwar said Najib has consistently failed to consider the "suffering" of low-income earners, citing the latter's volte face on the new government servant pay scheme as an example of his inability to understand the people. The former deputy prime minister also questioned why Najib had resorted to consultants in coming up with the new pay scheme instead of asking the civil service what it wanted. "The prime minister doesn't understand the suffering of the junior officers who serve the government. "I know suffering, what it means to be insulted and beaten every day. I know," he said, alluding to his six-year stint in prison following his arrest and conviction for sodomy, which was later overturned by the courts. Anwar concluded the night with a ditty characterising the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition as "poison" and urging those in the audience to vote for Pakatan Rakyat (PR): "Madu di tangan kanan mu: Pakatan. Racun di tangan kiri mu: BN. I dah tahu mana satu pilihan ku. (Honey in your right hand: Pakatan. Poison in your left hand: BN. I know what my choice is.)" |

| “Impeach” Atau Pecat? Najib Cuma Takutkan Perdebatan Rasional Dengan Anwar Posted: 29 Mar 2012 08:18 AM PDT Saya merujuk kepada kenyataan oleh peguam Umno Shafee Abdullah dan Senator BN S Nallakaruppan pada 28 Mac bahawa ketua pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim perlu dicabar oleh Parlimen kerana ‘salah laku’. Mereka bergantung dan merungut tentang tuduhan lama yang sama salah laku seksual yang direka oleh kerajaan BN terhadap Anwar Ibrahim, dengan kerjasama polis dan Peguam Negara. Rakyat tidak pernah percaya pembohongan yang memalukan ini, dan telah memberikan sokongan, kepercayaan dan simpati mereka terhadap Anwar Ibrahim dan gabungan parti pembangkang Pakatan Rakyat yang diketuai beliau. Kejahilan terlampau biasa bagi Umno dan BN Kenyataan Shafee dan Nalla juga menunjukkan kejahilan terlampau mengenai prosedur pemecatan dan parlimen di Malaysia dan Komanwel. Tiada peruntukan atau pendahuluan bagi pemecatan di Dewan Rakyat. Di England, prosedur pemecatan kali terakhir digunakan lebih 200 tahun lalu dalam kes Lord Melville dan kini ia lapuk. Rasional penyelesaian pemecatan tersebut adalah untuk memegang Menteri dan Eksekutif yang bertanggungjawab dalam pentadbiran negara. Untuk mencadangkan bahawa ia akan digunakan terhadap Ketua Pembangkang menunjukkan salah faham yang besar tentang proses pemecatan. Dengan evolusi usul tidak percaya, jawatankuasa pilihan dan diteliti dengan mendalam oleh parlimen dan disoal siasat,mekanisme pemecatan lama telah ketinggalan zaman. Jatuh kembali ke dalam politik kotor Contoh Shafee ialah pemecatan Bill Clinton yang menunjukkan dia tidak memahami mekanisme pemecatan di Amerika, di mana pemecatan digunakan sebagai satu kaedah untuk mengeluarkan ahli-ahli kerajaan Persekutuan seperti Presiden. Ia adalah tidak munasabah dan pelik bagi Shafee dan Nalla untuk mengancam Ketua Pembangkang dengan proses pemecatan yang purba dan telah digantikan . Sekali lagi, kita dapat melihat ketidakupayaan lengkap Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak dan BN untuk melibatkan diri dalam perbahasan dan perbincangan rasional bersama pembangkang. Sebaliknya, Najib dan Umno terus bergantung kepada serangan peribadi yang cetek dan tidak berasas oleh orang-orang seperti Nallakaruppan dan sekutu beliau, yang jelas dilaporkan dalam media elektronik dan cetak yang dimiliki Umno.

| Posted: 28 Mar 2012 10:57 PM PDT KEADILAN mempunyai bukti kukuh termasuklah laporan, surat menyurat dan dokumen-dokumen lain yang mengesahkan sikap talam dua muka Umno yang secara diam-diam merestui hubungan dua hala di antara Malaysia dan Israel sedang ia menyerang Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim sebagai ejen Israel. Hubungan tidak rasmi di antara Umno dan kerajaan atau badan-badan Israel bukanlah perkara baru. Mantan Perdana Menteri, Tun Mahathir Mohamad menulis surat kepada 3 orang Perdana Menteri Israel yang berasingan menyatakan hasrat beliau yang mewakili Umno untuk menjalin hubungan diplomatik yang normal dengan Israel. Tindakan Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak yang melantik APCO yang diketuai tokoh-tokoh yang rapat dengan Israel mengesahkan lagi wujudnya hubungan baik di antara Umno dan Israel. Malah, sikap ini turut menular di dalam dasar luar negara seperti yang ditentukan oleh Wisma Putra. Hari ini, KEADILAN akan membongkarkan bagaimana Umno dan pimpinannya mengambil sikap berbaik-baik malah memohon bantuan dari Israel, walaupun secara rasminya Malaysia tidak mempunyai hubungan diplomatik dengan negara tersebut. Bermula 4 hingga 8 Jun 2012, Malaysia akan menjadi tuan rumah kepada Persidangan Gas Sedunia (World Gas Conference) yang akan berlangsung di Kuala Lumpur. Persidangan ini adalah persidangan terbesar yang akan mengumpulkan syarikat-syarikat minyak dan gas dari seluruh dunia. Penganjuran Persidangan Gas Sedunia dipilih melalui undi oleh anggota Pertubuhan Gas Antarabangsa (International Gas Union) yang turut dianggotai oleh negara-negara seperti Malaysia, Israel, Russia, Brunei, Indonesia dan banyak negara lain. KEADILAN boleh mengesahkan bahawa semasa Malaysia melobi untuk mendapatkan hak menganjurkan persidangan ini dalam tahun 2005, Malaysia telah merayu bantuan Israel untuk menyokong cadangan Malaysia menjadi tuan rumah. Malah, Malaysia turut menawarkan secara tidak langsung untuk menguruskan penginapan dan pendaftaran wakil-wakil Israel ke Persidangan IGU di Tianjin, China. Pendekatan merayu bantuan Israel ini mendapat restu dan atas nasihat Wisma Putra. Penganjurannya pula dikendalikan oleh Persatuan Gas Malaysia yang diwakili oleh PETRONAS dan dinasihati oleh Tun Mahathir. Malah, KEADILAN mempunyai bukti bahawa Tun Mahathir dan Wisma Putra sedia maklum mengenai pendekatan Malaysia merayu sokongan dari Israel untuk mendapatkan hak penganjuran tetapi merestui sahaja pendekatan ini. Bersama-sama ini disertakan satu surat dari wakil Malaysia kepada wakil Israel yang mengesahkan bahawa Wisma Putra telah merestui pendekatan merayu bantuan dan sokongan Israel demi mendapatkan hak penganjuran sebuah persidangan antarabangsa. Sikap Umno dan pimpinan mereka yang menentukan dasar Wisma Putra adalah bertentangan dengan keinginan rakyat Malaysia yang tidak mahu ada sebarang hubungan diplomatik sama ada secara langsung atau tidak langsung dengan Israel. Malah, pendedahan kali ini membongkarkan hipokrasi tertinggi Umno dan pimpinan mereka dalam isu hubungan dengan Israel kerana bukan sahaja mereka menyatakan hasrat untuk mengadakan hubungan diplomatik, malah terbukti mereka pernah melutut merayu sokongan dari Israel. KEADILAN mendesak penjelasan dari Wisma Putra dan Tun Mahathir Mohamad mengenai pendirian yang telah diambil sehingga merestui pendekatan pihak penganjur Persidangan Gas Sedunia yang merayu bantuan dan sokongan Israel, kerana ini bertentangan dengan solidariti rakyat Malaysia dengan perjuangan rakyat Palestin. KEADILAN akan terus menyiarkan dokumen-dokumen dan surat-menyurat bagi membuktikan bagaimana pimpinan Umno terlibat secara langsung di dalam perkara ini.
