Latest Intelligence PR To win 124 Seats, BN 98: RM5 MILLION “Going-Rate” To Lure PR Contestants

Posted: 30 Jan 2013 12:57 AM PST

Malaysia Chronicle

The cat is out of the bag. Despite vows of being able to retain the federal government with two-thirds of the seats in Parliament, Prime Minister Najib Razak is staring at stark defeat.

According to political sources, a survey conducted by a special government intelligence unit showed Najib’s Umno-Barisan Nasional coalition trailing far behind the Pakatan Rakyat led by Anwar Ibrahim with only 98 seats to the Opposition’s 124.

Anwar and PR are expected to win 10 seats in the Federal Territories, 10 in Johor, 11 in Kedah, 12 in Kelantan, 18 in Perak, 17 in Selangor, 1 in Terengganu, 1 in Malacca, 3 in Negeri Sembilan, 5 in Pahang, 0 in Perlis and a total of 25 in Sabah and Sarawak.

“This is a real eye-opener for the big-wigs in Umno. It is no wonder Najib and Mahathir are now so panicky in their response to issues that crop up. They cannot afford to make any mistake at this stage,” Zulkefly Othman, secretary of the security council in Anwar’s PKR party, told Malaysia Chronicle.

RM5mil going rate to “buy over” a PR candidate

Zulkefly, who is also the head of strategy for the PKR Malacca division, expects the going to get “really rough and dirty” in the weeks ahead, with vote-rigging, Opposition-bashing and an avalanche of “election goodies” to deluge the nation as the Umno-BN struggled to retain its 55-year stranglehold on power.

He warns that BN has intensified its lures to Opposition candidates to defect, a threat that he said the PR leadership must beware of and put at the top of its list of electoral risks.

“The going rate is now RM5 mil for a PR candidate and going closer to the GE, we can expect this number to increase. The BN will surely play very dirty and the PR leadership must find ways to counter this,” said Zulkefly.

“To me, this is even more dangerous than the vote-rigging and padding of the electoral rolls. So in choosing their contestants, the top PR leaders must be wise. They must have a plan to prevent this sort of unethical defection and the best way is to recruit only those who are truly sincere and have iron-cast principles. Those who are thick-skinned and not ‘malu’ (shy) to jump ship should not be considered,” Zulkefly said.

Nervous Najib might again delay GE13

Indeed, the nervousness displayed by Umno-BN leaders is visible. Former premier Mahathir Mohamad has been making a return to the limelight in a bid to rally support from the key Malay electorate and even Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has promised the BN may make permanent a cash aid scheme it recently announced so as to get the people to retain the political status quo.

"We don’t want to see such aid be a one-off payment. It should be disbursed on a long-term basis. I believe the Prime Minister will look into BR1M (1Malaysia People’s Aid) as a programme that should be continued. I am sure that it will be continued on a long-term basis when the rakyat (people) retains Barisan as the Federal Government," theStar newspaper reported Muhyiddin as saying after distributing RM100 cash vouchers to students of five schools last week.

However, it may be too late for the BN. No matter what late-hour strategy Najib pulls, many political observers and pundits are of the view that the people will plumb for change, disgusted and fed-up with the rampant and endemic corruption in the BN government.

According to Zulkefly, Najib might use the latest survey to once again delay the GE13. The latest hint coming from those in the PM’s camp are that he will dissolve Parliament on Feb 22, post nominations on Mar 16, with balloting on Mar 30.

“We won’t be surprised. Najib may wait for Parliament to automatically dissolve on April 28 to buy himself and the BN more time. But there is no guarantee they can win back the people. I would say Malaysians are already very annoyed by the delay so far. They have made up their minds and want to vote. If Najib continues to dilly-dally, it will only irritate them more,” said Zulkefly.

Market sell-off, investors wearied by prolonged uncertainty

Even investors are betting on a regime change and recently sold off in anticipation that hardliners in Najib’s party might create unrest if they lost. The benchmark stock market index FBM KLCI suffered its steepest one-day fall in 8 months last week, plunging 40.81 points and losing RM35billion in market capitalization amid speculation Najib would dissolve Parliament on February 22.

“Why must the entire nation- yes all of us – from corporate sector making investment decision to citizens wanting to plan weddings or umrah trip, be subjected to this vagaries of an election date?” asked Dzulkefly Ahmad, the MP for Kuala Selangor who also heads the PAS Research Centre.

In the country’s coming 13th general election, 222 seats in the federal Parliament and 505 state assembly seats in 12 states (excluding Sarawak which held its state assembly election in 2011) will be contested.

In the 2008 election, PR had won 82 seats vs BN’s 140, denying for the first time the Umno-BN government its long-held two-thirds control of Parliament, which allows it to hammer through key changes to the Federal Constitution, the country’s highest law.

In the 2004 election, PR had only managed to win 21 vs BN’s 198. At that time, there were only 219 parliamentary seats were up for contest. Three new seats were created only in the 2008 election – Igan, Sibuti and Limbang in Sarawak.

Wasatiyyah Umno Bila Kroni Bolot Khazanah Negara

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim berkata, wasatiyyah Najib Razak gagal menepati konsep sebenar kerana membiarkan rakyat hidup menderita ketika pemimpin Umno BN rakus membolot khazanah negara.

"Wasatiyyah bukan naikkan harga gula dengan alasan atasi penyakit kencing manis atau biar tauke balak bolot kekayaan angkut keluar hasil hutan tapi rakyat dinasihat hidup sederhana.

"Bukan wasatiyyah apabila anak Raja Nong Chik (Zainal Abidin) dapat kontrak RM40 juta,  anak Shahrizat Jalil gaji sebulan RM30,000, anak Jamaluddin Jarjis kontrak RM100 juta, anak Mahathir (Mohamad), Mokhzani kawal minyak melalui Kenchana Petroleum dan Mirzan pula kuasai syarikat arak terbesar San Miguel yang dibeli RM2.9 bilion.

"Tetapi wasatiyyah adalah usaha pertahankan prinsip kebenaran dan keadilan melalui iman, ilmu dan akhlak seperti yang terkandung dalam Al-Quran," jelas Ketua Umum KEADILAN depan lebih 5,000 rakyat pada Ceramah Jelajah Merdeka Rakyat di Kampung Perak, Temoh Stesen, di sini, malam tadi.

Anwar berkata, Rasulullah diutus Allah sebagai rahmat untuk redakan ketegangan sesama manusia, bukan untuk bergaduh, mengugut atau mengancam penganut agama lain sehingga bertindak membakar Bible seperti dilakukan Pertubuhan Peribumi Perkasa Malaysia (Perkasa).

"Punca kemuliaan Nabi Muhammad bukan dari pangkat kekuasaan, keturunan sebagai bangsa Quraisy atau rupa paras tetapi mulianya Baginda kerana akhlak.

"Pada peribadi Baginda ada contoh terbaik dan itulah yang wajib diamalkan dalam politik," katanya.

Dalam pada itu, beliau menempelak AES (Sistem Penguatkuasaan Automatik) yang bebankan hidup rakyat dan gagal atasi masalah sebenar jalan raya.

"Sepatutnya gaji pegawai berkuasa yang berpenat lelah jaga lalu lintas dinaikkan, bukan buat projek penguatkuasa dan beri kepada kroni.

"Sekarang 400,000 saman dikeluarkan dan kerajaan beri BR1M (Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia) untuk bayar saman RM300. Sebab itu kita tekad, Pakatan Rakyat tawan Putrajaya, AES kita batalkan," ujarnya.

Beliau pertikai kegagalan pemimpin Umno memberi kelebihan kepada rakyat melalui gaji minima, pendidikan percuma dan menawarkan harga minyak rendah dengan alasan negara akan bankrap.

"Malaysia memiliki khazanah yang banyak untuk ringankan beban rakyat dengan hasil minyak sahaja RM80 ribu juta, hasil kelapa sawit cecah RM80 ribu juta setahun dan ini cukup untuk beri pendidikan percuma.

"Ini maksud sebenar merdeka bila semua hak rakyat dapat dipulangkan untuk kehidupan lebih terjamin," katanya.

Turut hadir, Pengerusi KEADILAN Negeri, Dr Muhammad Nur Manuty; Ahli Majlis Pimpinan KEADILAN, Mustafa Kamil Ayub; Adun Pasir Panjang, Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin; Ahli Parlimen Gopeng, Dr Lee Boon Chye; Adun Hutan Melintang, S Kesavan; Adun Sungkai, A Sivanesan dan Adun Keranji, Chen Fook Chye.

Terdahulu, Anwar solat maghrib di Asrama Anak Yatim Nurul Ikhsan, Kampung Talang Tengah, Sungai Siput disusuli ceramah di Taman Chandan Puteri, Bukit Chandan.

Once a Pushover, Pakatan Sniffs Power

Posted: 29 Jan 2013 11:46 PM PST

Malaysiakini

After bloodying the government’s nose in 2008 elections, a more experienced and organised opposition is eyeing the once-unthinkable: toppling one of the world’s longest-serving governments.

Malaysians vote soon with the formerly hapless opposition buoyed by a new track record of state-level government, signs of growing voter support, and what its leader Anwar Ibrahim calls a sense of history in the making.

“I am convinced, insya Allah (God willing), that we will win government,” Anwar told AFP, evoking the winds of change that powered the “Arab Spring” elsewhere in the Muslim world.

“Of course we call it a ‘Malaysian Spring’, but our method is elections (not uprisings).”

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is expected to call a fresh vote in weeks, pitting his Malay-dominated Barisan Nasional (National Front) coalition against Anwar’s multi-ethnic opposition alliance Pakatan Rakyat (People’s Pact).

The 57-year-old ruling bloc enjoys deep pockets, mainstream media control, an electoral system the opposition says is rigged, and a record of decades of economic growth under its authoritarian template.

Few expect the opposition to win the 112 parliamentary seats needed to take power. The three-party alliance won 82 seats in the 2008 polls, up from 21, stunning the BN with its biggest-ever setback.

But speculation is rife that Pakatan could win enough in the polls – which must be held by late June – to lure ruling coalition defectors and form a government.

“Before this year, many were in denial about Pakatan’s potential. Today, we see society beginning to accept that the possibility (of a BN defeat) is real,” said Wan Saiful Wan Jan (left), who runs the independent Malaysian think tank Ideas.

The country’s stock market has trembled recently over the uncertainty as opinion polls suggest the vote will be tight. One recent survey put Najib and Anwar neck-and-neck as prime ministerial candidates.

In a January 12 show of force, the opposition held a rally that drew close to 100,000 people, paralysing much of the capital Kuala Lumpur in one of Malaysia’s biggest-ever political gatherings.

“I think it’s very close, and the party that makes the least mistakes will be the party that wins,” said Ambiga Sreenavasan, head of Bersih, an NGO coalition that has organised large public rallies for electoral reform.

Pakatan attacks the ruling coalition, and particularly its dominant partner the United Malays National Organisation (Umno), as corrupt, repressive and lacking a long-term vision for Malaysia.

Anwar says Pakatan would end authoritarianism and free the media.

BN could lose 20 more seats

It would lure foreign investment by attacking rampant graft and reforming the system of preferences for Malays that is blamed for harming national econonomic competitiveness and stoking resentment among minority Chinese and Indians.

“The people are committed to reform. There is a legitimate expectation among the public for them to see that reforms do take place,” Anwar said.

Anwar, who was acquitted a year ago on sodomy charges he called a bogus Umno attempt to ruin him politically, has been integral to the opposition’s revival.

The former BN heir-apparent’s spectacular 1998 ouster in a power struggle with then-premier Mahathir Mohamad gifted the opposition a charismatic leader with top government experience to rally around.

The loose alliance of 2008 is stronger today, having since agreed on a common manifesto, and has shown it can govern in four states won five years ago, the most ever in opposition hands. Malaysia has 13 states.

“Cooperation between the parties is much stronger than 2008. They have done more to prepare the ground for new voters,” said leading political pollster Ibrahim Suffian.

Concerns linger over Pakatan’s ability to govern nationally.

Besides Anwar’s multi-racial PKR (People’s Justice Party), it includes PAS (Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party) representing Muslim ethnic Malays, and the secular DAP (Democratic Action Party) dominated by ethnic Chinese.

PAS’s calls for an Islamic state are a source of alliance squabbling, but Anwar dismisses any concern, saying PAS realises the goal is a non-starter in the diverse nation.

Economists, meanwhile, warn that populist Pakatan promises such as free primary-to-university education could sink Malaysia into debt, while noting ever-larger public handouts by Najib’s government also posed a risk.

Najib took office in 2009 and has portrayed himself as a reformer but surveys suggest BN is still viewed as a corruption-plagued, status-quo force.

Eroding minority support, particularly Chinese, that hurt the coalition in 2008 appears to be accelerating, independent polls show, while first-time voters estimated to number up to three million are a question mark.

One top Umno official told AFP that party officials fear the coalition could lose 20 more seats – it now has 140 – raising the spectre of a Pakatan power play.

“All said, Najib still has the advantage, but an opposition victory is clearly possible,” said Bridget Welsh, a Southeast Asian politics expert at Singapore Management University.
