PRK N41 Manik Urai dan permintaan Pengerusi SPR supaya wakil rakyat jangan mati lagi.........

Pilihanraya kecil DUN Manek Urai, Kelantan ditetapkan pada 14 Julai ini, sementara penamaan calonnya jatuh pada 6 Julai - memberikan lapan hari tempoh berkempen.

Dalam pengumumannya di Putrajaya, Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) menyatakan 12,293 pemilih termasuk 25 pemilih pos dijangka membuang undi di kerusi tersebut, bawah parlimen Kuala Krai. Pilihanraya itu dipanggil akibat kekosongan susulan kematian penyandangnya Ismail Yaakub pada 22 Mei lalu.

Pengerusi SPR Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof berkata daftar
pemilih yang akan digunakan termasuk daftar pemilih tambahan yang dikemaskini sehingga Jumaat lepas. Beliau menambah, penamaan calon dan penjumlahan rasmi undi diadakan di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sultan Yahya Petra 1, Kuala Krai.

Daftar pemilih terbabit mula dijual pada 15 Jun dan pengundi juga boleh membuat semakan menerusi laman web rasmi SPR www.spr.gov.my, selain di lima kaunter yang akan dikenal pasti.

Semakan juga boleh dibuat melalui SMS dengan menaip SPR SEMAK NO KAD PENGENALAN dan hantar kepada 15888 mulai 15 Jun ini.

Pengundi juga boleh menelefon ibu pejabat SPR di Putrajaya di talian 03-8885 6500 dan pejabat SPR Kelantan di talian 09-748 25 10.

Meanwhile, in a hope to prevent more by-elections, Abdul Aziz pleaded with political parties to field candidates of sound health. Acknowledging that accidents cannot be prevented, he however quipped: "I hope that there will be no more deaths of elected representatives."

He also revealed that the EC spends about RM400,000 for every by-election.

Siapalah dia ni nak mohon agar wakil-wakil rakyat tidak akan kojol(mati) lagi?

Gomen lantik dia untuk jadi Pengerusi SPR. Tanggungjawabnya hanyalah untuk pastikan mengadakan pilihanraya bila sampai tempohnya atau mengadakan PRK bila sesuatu kerusi itu diistiharkan kosong.

He is paid to do the job. So do it as you are asked. But dont play God please............

BN no better than communists, says Nik Aziz......

PAS spiritual leader Datuk Seri Nik Abdul Aziz joined an all-star ceramah session last night as Pakatan Rakyat stepped up efforts to wrap up the by-election and bag the win.

Nik Aziz went straight for the Barisan Nasional (BN) jugular and mocked prime minister and BN president Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s decision not to allow former communist leader Chin Peng to return to Malaysia, describing it as hypocritical.

“Chin Peng wants to come back and somebody asked me what I thought about it so I said if BN wants to reject the communists, then the same can be said about nationalists,” he said.

The statement was made in reference to his belief and past statement that Umno should replace its nationalist trait with Islam as the main ideology. Nik Aziz, who vehemently opposes the “cooperation with Umno” idea supported by some of his own party members, had stated in the past that the Islamist party will only work together with its rival if the latter discards its nationalist ideology.

But judging by how the charismatic PAS leader pounded BN last night, this “cooperation” is a long way off.

BN was accused of total evil, reigning with treachery, manipulation and corruption. He urged Penanti voters to rise against the BN rule and vote for PKR candidate Mansor Othman this Sunday.

The other big names at the ceramah were Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who also asked voters to send a strong signal to BN.

He also blasted BN for their decision to contest in Manek Urai, slamming the decision as a reflection of their arrogance and hypocrisy.

“When they did not want to contest at Penanti, they said they wanted to focus on improving the country’s economy and not play the political game supposedly created by me.

“But it seems that the economy of the country, in fact the world, has been solved since BN now has the time to contest there,” he said.

The Manek Urai by-election in Kelantan will be the seventh since the March 8 polls. The state seat was vacated following the death of its assemblyman, Ismail Yaakob.

N12 Penanti - Aminah Dollah's conspiracy theory...............

The two PKR members involved in a secret recording made by Aminah Abdullah, an independent candidate for the Penanti state by-election, have categorically denied making any offers to her.

Cheah Kah Peng and Peter Lim Eng Nam said they did not offer Aminah the post of deputy chief minister (I) or Penang Island Municipal Council (MPPP) president, and had never tried to bribe her with money.

Cheah is a PKR supreme council member, and Lim the special assistant to Penang state executive councillor Law Choo Kiang.

"We were invited by Aminah for lunch at her house. We just had a jovial, casual conversation with them (Aminah and her husband Mohd Rofi Osman)," Cheah told a press conference at the PKR operations centre here today.

"We did not know that she would turn a bona fide chit-chat into a ugly thing."

Cheah said they had visited the family as friends and they not represent any organisation. He said the recording was taken out of context, as they were conversing as "normal friends, talking about everything under the sun".

He said he and Lim have been friends with Animah and her family since 1999 and maintained ties with them even after she left the party in 2007.

They had been to Aminah's house on several occasions, including during Hari Raya Puasa, and the engagement of one of her daughters in March.

Lim lamented that Aminah has exploited their relations for her personal gains.

"I feel hurt," he said, adding that they would leave the matter in the hands of the party's lawyers.

Meanwhile, PKR elections director Saifuddin Nasution said the party has sent a legal notice to Aminah.

"The letter was sent to stop her from defaming the party for her personal gains, in this case as an independent candidate in the by-election," he said.

In the legal notice, Aminah is told either withdraw the statement, apologise or pay damages.

"From what we have heard, it is a conversation between friends who met over a meal," Saifuddin said of the recording.

"It was a jovial occasion ... Aminah seemed like she wanted to rejoin the party and wanted one of her friends to convey the message to our leaders."

Para pengundi di Penanti haruslah menilai keperibadian Aminah Dollah yang sanggup mengundang dua kenalannya dari PKR ke rumahnya, bagi makan kenyang-kenyang semata-mata untuk merakamkan aksi perbualan peribadi sesama mereka. Kemundian, seterusnya menggunakannya sebagai modal politik murahannya dan senjata politik bagi menfitnah Parti Keadilan Rakyat..............

Nizar & PR - Jangan buat rayuan lagi,biarlah mahkamah rakyat tentukan.........

3 hakim mahkamah rayuan yang bersidang tempoh hari telah mengistiharkan Zambri MB Perak yang sah berdasarkan kepada perkara-perkara berikut;

1) bahawa Sultan Perak telah membuat keputusan yang betul melantik Zambry sebagai Menteri Besar selepas mendapati Mohammad Nizar kehilangan sokongan majoriti,

2) bahawa keputusan sama ada membenarkan atau tidak permohonan pembubaran Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) adalah dalam bidang kuasa Sultan, Mohammad Nizar mesti meletakkan jawatan apabila permohonannya untuk pembubaran DUN ditolak

3) bahawa tiada peruntukan khusus atau mandatori dalam Undang-undang Tubuh Negeri Perak untuk diadakan undi sokongan majoriti di DUN Perak.

Implikasi daripada keputusan hakim-hakim mahkamah rayuan yang arif itu,nampak bahawa Sultan atau YDPAgong boleh tentukan siapa saja yang tuanku hendak jadi MB atau PM. Tak perlu lagi mendapatkan undi kepercayaan dari DUN atau Parlimen. Pendekata,mahkamah telah beri kuasa mutlak kepada Sultan dan YDPAgong untuk pilih MB atau PM ikut kehendak tuanku.

Katakanlah, kalau adalah sebilangan besar MP BN berpaling tadah dan sokong PR di Parlimen, ahli-ahli Parlimen hanya perlu mengadap YDPAgong untul mendapatkan restu baginda. Jika sekiranya YDPAgong setuju, baginda boleh lantik sama ada Ketua Pembangkang atau siapa saja yang baginda fikir layak jadi PM. Siapa saja yang dilantik tuanku jadi PM tak perlu lagi adakan usul undi kepercayaan di Parlimen. Jika ini berlaku dalam masa terdekat maka si Najib akan kantoi dan big mama pula menangis berguling-guling.

Semua ini boleh berlaku, kerana mahkamah rayuan dah tunjuk jalan keluar.....

Saya juga ingin cadang agar Nizar Jamaluddin dan PR tidak lagi buat rayuan kepada mahkamah Federal. Kalau di peringkat mahkamah rayuan sudah nampak bagaimana sepantas kilat mereka bertindak untuk meluluskan permohonan Zamry bagi menghalang keputusan mahkamah tinggi yang memihak kepada Nizar, mereka juga boleh "do wonders" di mahkamah Federal, tambah-tambah lagi bila KHN adalah bekas orang kuat UMNO.

Nizar juga jangan terperangkap dengan mainan politik kotor Najib yang sekarang ini sambil senyum dan ketawa mecadangkan supaya Nizar buat rayuan ke mahkamah Federal. Najib tahu, bila sampai ke mahkamah Federal, siapa yang akan menang. Akhirnya, Najib jadi victorious. Tanpa merayu, Nizar dan PR boleh halang mainan kotor Najib itu.

Dengan tiada merayu kepada mahkamah Federal, rakyat Perak akan tetap memberi sokongan padu kepada Nizar dan PR, walaupun negeri tersebut akan diperintah oleh MB Zambry lantikan mahkamah. Jadi memang layaklah si Zambry ini digelar "MB mahkamah".

The higher you go up the court hierarchy, the worst it will become. If Pakatan Raykat appeals the case to the Federal Court, it is a forgone conclusion that they will lose. It is already evident that only in the High Court and the magistrate court could PR stand an even chance.

How do you think that they have got to sit in that position in the Apex courts? Apart from the known recommendation by Mr. Correct,Correct,Correct, they are also promoted because they are in line with the powers that be. It cannot be more obvious that the head of the judiciary was previously an UMNO diehard.

So, Nizar and PR please dont appeal..........

Satu lagi cerita hot ialah apabila calon bebas PRK Penanti Aminah Abdullah mendakwa mempunyai bukti PKR cuba menyogoknya sebanyak RM 80,000 serta jawatan penting jika dia tidak bertanding dalam pilihanraya kecil Penanti, 31 Mei ini. Bekas ketua Wanita PKR Pulau Pinang mendakwa, dua wakil parti itu menemuinya pada 13 Mei lalu untuk menawarkan jawatan yang dipertua Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang (MPPP). Dia juga mendakwa, jika berjaya menewaskan calon PKR Mansor Othman dalam pilihanraya DUN itu, dia akan dibenarkan menyertai PKR semula dan diberikan jawatan Timbalan satu Ketua Menteri. Mungkin Najib saja yang boleh tawar jawatan TKM pada Aminah dan kalau ini berlaku aku nak pindah ke Mongolia.

Nak tanya, pasal apa RM 80,000 saja, kenapa tidak minta 4 atau 5 juta, bukankah itu lebih menasabah. Dengar kata sikatak betina dari DAP yang melompat di Perak tu dapat RM 20 juta!!! Dan yang lebih tak masuk akai siapa yang berkuasa untuk tawar jawatan TKM(1)?, Guang Eng atau penyanggak2 yang menemuinya itu?

Saya tak mahu bincang panjang, baca sini dan sini seterusnya...........

The power struggle in Perak.............

Practising in Perak for Federal battle to come........

When three legislators in Perak, one of five of opposition-ruled Malaysian states, switched sides in February, overturning a narrow majority in the 59-seat assembly, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) was cock-a-hoop. After a big electoral setback last year, the long-dominant UMNO was at last taking the fight to the opposition, led by its nemesis, Anwar Ibrahim, a former deputy prime minister. Loyalists credited the defections, reportedly induced by the threat of corruption probes, to the bare-knuckle tactics of Najib Razak, since sworn in as prime minister in place of the mild-mannered Abdullah Badawi. Taking back Perak was just the start, UMNO snarled.

Perak was indeed the start of something, but not the rollback of Malaysia’s opposition, as foreseen by UMNO and its ruling coalition partners. Instead it has snowballed into a constitutional crisis that reveals the wobbly underpinnings of a democracy yet to be tested by a handover of power at the federal level. On May 7th, amid scuffles at Perak’s parliament, UMNO’s man was installed as chief minister. Scores of people were arrested, including the speaker of the house, who was bundled away by plainclothes police. He had objected to the takeover as it had never been put to a vote in the assembly.

On May 11th it was the opposition’s turn to crow. The High Court ruled that its man, Nizar Jamaluddin, was still the chief minister of Perak as his removal in February was illegal. He had been removed not, as is usual in parliamentary systems, by his elected peers but by Perak’s sultan, one of Malaysia’s hereditary state rulers. Sultan Azlan Shah had sealed the controversial takeover on February 5th, ignoring an appeal from Mr Jamaluddin to dissolve the house and hold snap elections.

The opposition’s euphoria was short-lived. The next day UMNO successfully obtained a stay from an appeals court against the reinstatement of Mr Jamaluddin. That decision allowed Zambry Kadir, UMNO’s candidate, to return on May 13th as caretaker chief minister. Grotesquely, in a blog posting, Mr Kadir likened his grubby power play to the struggles of Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi.

A fast-track deliberation by the appeals court should resolve the case in the next week or so. But the political fallout is much harder to fix. Should the obstreperous assembly reconvene, more scuffles are likely, says James Chin, a political scientist at Monash University’s campus in Kuala Lumpur. One way out, it seems, is to hold fresh elections in Perak. Yet that is exactly what UMNO fears most after a run of embarrassing defeats in state and federal polls. Ministers complain that by-elections are a waste of public money. In the case of Perak, the legal and legislative routes have not been exhausted, argues Khairy Jamaluddin (no relation), a senior UMNO official.

The opposition is expected to win again in Perak, as it did in March 2008 in an election that saw the UMNO-led National Front lose its cherished two-thirds majority in parliament. Mr Anwar subsequently sought to persuade 30 ruling MPs to cross the floor, the same tactic used in Perak. His advisers argued that this was justified as he planned to dissolve the house and return power to the people, betting on victory. In the end, Mr Anwar’s carrot went unbitten. But it dangles still, and UMNO knows it.

The bigger question posed by the proxy war in Perak is what happens if the levers of federal power should one day slip from UMNO’s hands, as has seemed inevitable since last year’s election. Entrenched political elites rarely go quietly. A politicised civil service and security apparatus might resist an opposition victory, and look to the judiciary and, possibly, the sultans for support. Mr Anwar knows this, and is courting power-brokers in the system. But the danger of civil unrest should not be dismissed lightly. That is particularly true if UMNO decides to play on tensions between Malaysia’s majority Malays and its ethnic-Chinese and Indian minorities.

Until the Perak storm broke, Mr Najib had been steering a mildly reformist course. A handful of political prisoners have been freed, including ethnic Indians jailed after rowdy anti-government protests in 2007. Regulations on Islamic banking and insurance, and on local-ownership restrictions in selected service sectors were liberalised. But the core grievances of non-Malays over statutory privileges for the Malays remain. These privileges, staunchly defended by UMNO, were introduced in 1971, two years after deadly race riots in Kuala Lumpur. The riots began after UMNO suffered election losses to Chinese-based opposition parties. The date, by coincidence, was May 13th 1969.

N12 Penanti - 4 cornered fight minus UMNO/BN.............

Its a 4 cornered fight for Penanti by-election on 31 May 2009. The candidates were PKR's Mansor Othman and three independents - former Penang PKR Wanita chief Aminah Abdullah, company manager Nai-Khan Ari, 41, and motivational expert Kamarul Ramizu Idris, 42. Returning officer Roslan Yahaya announced this at noon today. Nomination papers from independent businessman Mohd Saberi Othman, 49, were not accepted.

Earlier, Mohd Saberi had joined the other four candidates in filing his nomination papers at the Youth Skills Development Institute here. Six objections were raised during the objection period, including one against Kamarul's proposer, who is said to be not from Penanti. Kamarul has stood as an independent and lost in the Bukit Gantang parliamentary against by-election.

The nomination process for the Penanti by-election was quieter than the other polls held previously. Although some Pakatan Rakyat supporters have turned up at the nomination centre at the Youth Skills Development Institute here today, there was no taunting and shouting that have marred other by-elections. However, the police were not taking any chance. A police helicopter was spotted circling above the area while some 300 personnel have been mobilised to keep watch over the crowds.

The earliest to arrive today was Aminah, who came to the centre at 7.45am. She was followed by Mohd Saberi and Nai-Kan, then Mansor. Many of the Pakatan Rakyat leaders have turned up at the centre to give their support to Mansor. Barisan Nasional has decided on May 18 to sit out on the by-election.

According to the 2008 electoral roll that was updated on April 16, the seat has a total of 15,384 registered voters, including 24 postal voters. The electorate comprises 72.68% Malays, 24.22% Chinese, 2.39% Indians and 0.71% others.

Lets give PKR and Pakatan a big win to convey everyone’s anger and frustration over the Perak crisis.

UMNO/BN menerusi KJ,Sharizat dan Ahmad Zahid Hamidi ada buat tinjauan dan mereka dapati kalau UMNO/BN bertanding, calonnya bukan saja setakat kalah malah akan hilang wang deposit. Dalam situasi ini, untuk menyelamatkan UMNO dan Najib khususnya daripada MALU, lebih baik tak masuk bertanding dan bagi alasan-alasan yang budak-budak darjah 5 pun tahu tak masuk akai........

Dalam masa 5 minit saja, Zamri diistihar MB Perak yang sah........

Tiga hakim Mahkamah Rayuan hanya mengambil 5 minit untuk mengumumkan Zambry Kadir dari UMNO adalah Menteri Besar Perak yang sah, dan bukannya Nizar Jamaluddin dari Pakatan Rakyat.

Lebih mengejutkan ketiga-tiga hakim berkenaan mengambil pendirian senada bahawa Sultan Perak mempunyai kuasa penuh untuk melantik Zambry tanpa mengadakan sidang Dewan Undangan Negeri untuk mengambil undi tidak percaya terhadap Nizar.

Hakim Md Raus Sharif, Zainun Ali dan Ahmad Maarop tidak memberikan hujah bertulis bagi menyokong keputusan mereka yang mempunyai implikasi mendalam terhadap sistem demokrasi berparlimen di negara ini dan kuasa-kuasa istana sebagaimana yang termaktub dalam perlembagaan.

Mengulas keputusan mahkamah itu, peguam Nizar, Sulaiman Abdullah berkata, “negara kita mempunyai hakim-hakim luar biasa dengan kebolehan luar biasa.”

Kini Nizar hanya boleh merayu kepada Mahkamah Persekutuan sebagai ruang perundangan terakhir untuk menegakkan mandat rakyat dan perlembagaan negeri Perak.

Kalau setakat nak buat keputusan dalam tempoh 5 minit tanpa sebarang hujah, tak perlu tunggu sampai pukul 3.30 petang tadi..........

Baca di sini dan sini.

MB Perak yang legit - detik penentuan hari ini.............

Mahkamah Rayuan akan memutuskan hari ini berhubung rayuan Zambry Abdul Kadir terhadap keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi yang mengisytiharkan bahawa Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin sebagai Menteri Besar Perak yang sah.

Hakim Datuk Md Raus Shariff, yang bersidang bersama Hakim Datuk Zainun Ali dan Hakim Datuk Ahmad Maarop menetapkan pukul 3.30 petang ini untuk memberikan keputusannya berhubung rayuan Dr Zambry daripada Barisan Nasional terhadap perintah Mahkamah Tinggi bahawa Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin daripada Pas adalah Menteri Besar yang sah.

Berikut adalah pandangan Sdr.Husam Musa berhubung dengan kes rayuan tersebut......

Pembubaran DUN Perak juga akan mengimbangkan langkah BN tidak meletakkan calon di Penanti. BN tidak gentar. Buktinya, BN bertindak berani membubarkan DUN Perak sedikit masa lagi dan BN berani menghadapi pilihanraya di Perak dan dengan itu, tidak menyertai Penanti adalah atas sebab prinsip semata-mata.

Jika maklumat saya ini hendak dijadikan kenyataan, langkah pertama ialah Mahkamah Rayuan perlu membuat keputusan yang menyebelahi Zambry, Khamis ini. BN sangat memerlukan keputusan itu untuk BN akan dilihat bertindak menasihati Sultan untuk pembubaran itu dan bukan PR. Mereka juga mempunyai kelebihan sebagai care taker government sepanjang tempoh kempen.

Saya membuat tekaan, Khamis ini, Mahkamah Rayuan akan menyebelahi Zambry. Ini hanya tekaan saya. Untuk membolehkan tekaan saya selanjutnya menjadi kenyataan.

Pengunduran dari Penati hendaklah juga dibaca sebagai satu strategi membuat kejutan reverse iatu pilihanraya mengejut di Perak. Terima kasih pada semua pimpinan BN yang membawa versi berbeza dalam pandangan politik mereka.

PR, pada pendapat saya, bersedia dengan pilihan ini kerana krisis Perak perlukan penyelesaian segera dan muktamad. Jika tidak, satu lagi institusi yang sebelumnya dilihat terhormat iaitu Istana, juga akan menghadapi kepudaran kepercayaan rakyat sama seperti hampir keseluruhan institusi di negara ini. -petikan dpd.wblog husam musa.

Ikut firasat aku pula mahkamah rayuan akan pulangkan jawatan MB Perak akan kembali kepada Nizar. Insyallah.

cheers.

Elak Penanti,pertahankan Perak...........

Khabar-khabar angin bahawa DUN Perak akan dibubarkan bertiup kencang baru-baru ini. Beberapa SMS yang saya terima daripada rakan-rakan dari Perak sibuk menjaja cerita yang sama. Namun demikian,khabar-khabar angin ini tinggal khabar-khabar angin saja. Segala tekaan dan ramalan adalah tidak benar.

Najib Tun Razak dalam mengumumkan bahawa UMNO tidak akan bertanding dalam PRK Penanti, juga telah ditanya pemberita bilakah BN akan bertemu pembangkang bagi membincangkan masalah di Perak, Najib berkata,

"Both sides must respect the process of law so that we will not create any confusion which will affect the public order."

Pendek kata Najib lebih suka tunggu keputusan mahkamah yang dijadualkan pada Khamis(21/5/09) ini dulu,sebelum mengambil tindakan seterusnya. Oleh itu, soal pembubaran DUN Perak tidak timbul lagi sehingga selepas hari khamis ini.

Semalam BN memutuskan bahawa walaupun keputusan mahkamah rayuan khamis ini memihak kepada parti itu, Sultan Perak akan tetap dipohon membubarkan Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) itu supaya pilihan raya semula dapat diadakan mengikut laporan Malaysian Insider semalam.

Sebelum ini,Najib Tun Razak berkata, terserah kepada Sultan Perak Sultan Azlan Shah untuk memutuskan sama ada DUN Perak harus dibubarkan atau tidak.

Sementara itu, Haji Mahfuz Omar berkata,"Jangan bebankan Sultan untuk menanggung kesan politik gangster yang menakut-nakut serta memperalatkan orang yang menghadapi tuduhan rasuah, menyekat ADUN di tengah jalan kononnya kerana Raja Muda hendak berjumpa dan mengumpan rasuah. Jika benar Najib dan BN bersedia berhadapan dengan rakyat dan akan memohon Sultan membubarkan DUN, ia sepatutnya dilakukan lama dahulu dan bukan bertindak memburukkan lagi krisis politik di Perak.”

Najib dan UMNO tahu bahawa peluang mereka untuk merampas Penanti dan Perak adalah sifar. Najib rela korbankan Penanti, sambil menunggu keputusan mahkamah Khamis ini. Jika Zamry berjaya dalam rayuannya,Najib akan minta Zambry perkenan Tuanku Sultan agar DUN Perak dibubarkan. Dengan cara begini, Najib dan UMNO sekurang-kurangnya akan ‘score some political mileage’ Dengan berbuat demikian setidak-tidaknya nampaklah konon-konon Najib dan UMNO mengamalkan demokrasi.

Dengan secara tak langsung Najib dan UMNO berharap rakyat Perak tidak akan menuduh mereka mabuk kuasa..............

cheers.

LTTE says their leader is alive and well...........

Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers denied that their leader Velupillai Prabhakaran had been killed by the military, insisting that the rebel chief was alive and well.

"Our beloved leader is alive and safe. He will continue to lead the quest for dignity and freedom for the Tamil people," the Tigers' chief of international relations, Selvarasa Pathmanathan, said in a statement carried on the pro-rebel Tamilnet website.

If so, whose dead body is this?





Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam(LTTE) supremo Velupillai Prabhakaran was on Monday shot dead by Sri Lankan special forces as he tried to stage a dramatic breakout from the army encirclement, a military spokesman said.




cheers.

Penantian PR di Penanti tamat,pasai UMNO tak berani.......

On the Perak impasse, Najib said BN will respect the process of law as the opposition had also brought the case to court to make the final decision on the status of the state government. Asked whether BN will engage the opposition to discuss the impasse as they had expressed willingness to talk, he said the coalition has yet to fix a time to meet.

"Both sides must respect the process of law so that we will not create any confusion which will affect the public order."

Baiklah UMNO dan Pakatan boleh respect process undang-undang. Katakanlah pada hari khamis ini Nizar menang kesnya, apakah Najib akan rayu kepada mahkamah Federal pula?

Nampaknya pelawaan Najib hanya sekadar hangat-hangat tahi ayam saja.................

Pilihanraya di Perak akan wujudkan polarisasi kaum,kata Nazri..............

Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz berkata desakan supaya diadakan pilihan raya negeri Perak bagi menyelesaikan krisis politik di negeri itu hanya akan mewujudkan polarisasi kaum. Nazri berkata dalam keadaan politik sekarang, sentimen perkauman begitu menonjol dan dikhuatiri para pengundi akan memilih calon daripada kalangan bangsa sendiri.

"Buat apa kita adakan pilihan raya sekiranya memecahbelahkan rakyat," katanya kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan serentak Mesyuarat Agung CawanganCawangan Umno Bahagian Padang Rengas di sini hari ini.

Katanya pilihan raya negeri Perak juga hanya akan menyebabkan perbelanjaan besar duit rakyat kerana dianggarkan kos sebanyak RM40 juta diperlukan kerana membabitkan 59 kawasan Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN).

Bagaimanapun, katanya Umno tidak bimbang untuk menghadapi pilihan raya negeri Perak kerana yakin menang kerana Barisan Nasional kini mempunyai majoriti iaitu 28 kerusi dan mempunyai sokongan tiga wakil rakyat Bebas.

source:mStar online

Kalau dah takut nak adakan pilihanraya berbagai macam alasan yang UMNO bagi. Soal perkauman ini dimainkan oleh UMNO untuk mencapai agenda sempitnya setelah tewas dalam PRU ke 12 di Perak dulu.

Bila Pakatan Rakyat memilih Sivakumar untuk menjadi speaker DUN bukankah UMNO yang lantang menuduh bermacam sehinggakan ada yang mengatakan orang India tak boleh jadi speaker. Tetapi bila mereka(UMNO/BN) merampas secara haram gomen Perak, R.Ganeson yang dipilih untuk jadi speaker. R.Ganeson ini sapa, Melayu atau India? Jelas sudah tembelang UMNO yang berpura-pura nak pertahankan ketuanan Melayu tapi sebaliknya lain pula dibuatnya.......

Alasan membazirkan wang rakyat itu adalah alasan biasalah yang juga dipakai oleh Najib dan sifunya Mahathir. Guna duit berjuta-juta oleh projek seperti PKFZ(Port Klang Free Zone) yang menimbulkan berbagai masalah itu tak apa. Baca sini dan sini.

Time for Nazri,Najib,Mahathir and UMNO to wake up...........

Sementara itu,Mahkamah Rayuan akan mendengar Rayuan MB Zambry Abdul Kadir terhadap keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi yang mengisytiharkan Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin sebagai Menteri Besar Perak yang sah pada Khamis ini.Mahkamah itu juga akan mendengar permohonan Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin bagi mengetepikan keputusan Mahkamah Rayuan yang membenarkan penangguhan pelaksanaan keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi pada hari yang sama.Sebelum ini mahkamah menetapkan untuk mendengar rayuan Nizar pada Isnin depan.

Zamri boleh dapat perintah tangguh dalam masa 2 jam, sedangkan Nizar kena tunggu lebih seminggu. Wow........ adil betul mahkamah Malaysia!

Kepada Cikgu-cikgu budiman................

SELAMAT HARI GURU

Who is Yang Arif Ramly Ali,that granted the stay of execution.........

The Appeal Court Judge,Ramly Ali who granted a stay of execution on the High Court decision which recognised Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as the rightful Perak menteri besar, was a former Chief Registrar who was appointed as Appeal Court judge on 15 April 2009.

He was one of the candidate recommended by V.K.Lingam in his controversial Lingam Tape scandal that showed lawyer V.K.Lingam who was in a monologue over his mobile phone and it was unclear who he was talking to.

The telephone conversation focussed on the following reasons:

a. Ahmad Fairuz was referred to as “Datuk” and there was talk of getting a “Tan Sri”-ship for him the same year. Ahmad Fairuz was awarded the Panglima Setia Mahkota (P.S.M) by the Yang di Pertuan Agong during the King’s birthday in June 2002, making him a Tan Sri.

b. There was reference of making “Datuk Heliliah, Datuk Ramli and Datuk Maroop” as judges — on 8th February 2002, Datuk Heliliah Mohd Yusuf, former Solicitor-General, Datuk Ramly Ali, a former Chief Registrar and Datuk Ahmad Maarop, a former Commissioner of Law Revision, received their letters of appointment as High Court judges from the Yang di Pertuan Agong. Their appointments were from Feb. 1, 2002.

c. There was reference that “in three months time” Ahmad Fairuz would be made President of Court of Appeal and “six months time” he was going to be Chief Justice - Ahmad Fairuz was sworn in as President, Court of Appeal on Dec. 1, 2002 and appointed Chief Justice of Malaysia on March 17, 2003.

Shouldnt an Appeal Court sits with a minimum of 3 judges? I am no loyarburuk, but thats what my father use to tell before, unless they changed the rules of the game.......

Shouldnt those names mentioned by the lawyer in the Lingam tape scandal be investigated first?

correct....correct....correct....

Read here and here.

Btw. the dissolution of DUN Perak is up to Tuanku Sultan. Since the legitimate MB Nizar receive the 'stay order' he cannot perform his duty of seeking the Sultan to dissolve the State Assembly.

While Zambry, the high court rules that he is not the rightful MB. He is now the caretaker MB and its against the law to claim himself as MB, thus the Sultan cannot accept and act according to what this illegal MB wants.

Since both MB cannot represent the State Government, it is rightfully up to the Sultan's decision whether to call for a dissolution or not.

cheers.

Beranikah Najib ajak Tuanku Sultan bubarkan DUN Perak.......

Pilihan raya semula adalah satu daripada opsyen yang ada untuk menyelesaikan kemelut politik di Perak tetapi ia bukanlah sesuatu yang harus, kata Najib Tun Razak. Perdana Menteri berkata keputusan sama ada untuk mengadakan pilihan raya negeri di Perak bergantung kepada budi bicara Sultan Perak Sultan Azlan Shah.

Bercakap kepada pemberita selepas menghadiri majlis perhimpunan Hari Pekerja Sektor Awam di sini hari ini, Najib berkata Barisan Nasional tidak gentar untuk menghadapi apa jua kemungkinan termasuk pilihan raya sekiranya itu yang diputuskan.

Najib Tun Razak hari ini berkata bahawa beliau bersedia mengadakan perbincangan dengan Pakatan Rakyat bagi menyelesaikan krisis politik di Perak. Bagaimanapun, katanya, tidak harus ada sebarang prasyarat untuk mengadakan perbincangan tersebut dan ia harus terbuka untuk menerokai semua kemungkinan. "Saya telah berkata, prinsip nombor satu ialah hormat menghormati antara satu sama lain," katanya. "Nombor dua, kita mesti mengikut aturan dan peraturan dalam Dewan dan di luar Dewan," tambahnya.

Anwar Ibrahim berkata kemelut politik di Perak bukanlah isu yang boleh diselesaikan di mahkamah. Sebaliknya, beliau yang juga ketua umum PKR berkata, ia hanya boleh diselesaikan melalui pilihanraya yang bebas dan adil.

"Penyelesaiannya bukan pada istana atau mahkamah, tetapi mahkamah rakyat yang akan menentukannya," katanya.

Sehubungan itu, Anwar mencabar Perdana Menteri, Najib Tun Razak supaya mengadakan pilihanraya baru di Perak bagi menyelesaikan kemelut politik sekarang.

Apabila beliau bertanya mengapa Najib perlu takut untuk mengadakan pilihanraya baru di Perak, kira-kira 3,000 hadirin yang memenuhi dewan tersebut melaung: "Takut kalah". Najib dikaitkan dengan tindakan BN merampas kuasa di Perak dari Pakatan Rakyat.

Parti Gerakan Pulau Pinang juga telah mendesak MB Perak, Zambry Abdul Kadir supaya segara memohon pembubaran Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) bagi membuka jalan mengadakan pilihan raya negeri. Pengerusinya Dr Teng Hock Nan berkata langkah membubarkan DUN akan membolehkan rakyat Perak memutuskan parti mana yang sepatutnya memimpin urusan pentadbiran negeri itu. Desakan yang juga datang dari Tengku Razaleigh, MCA, Majlis Peguam,Suhakam dan ramai lagi.

Sementara itu mentor Najib, Mahathir Mohamad, pula berkata, jika ada pilihanraya Pakatan akan menang dan sebab itu tidak perlu BN adakan pilihanraya negeri. Katanya lagi ,pilihanraya negeri itu, tambahnya, hanya membazirkan wang rakyat. Awat Che Det suka tengok gomen Perak lintang pukang kah?

Najib Tun Razak berkata terserah kepada Zambry untuk memutuskan langkah selanjutnya. Sebaliknya Najib cuba berdolak dalik. Najib sebenarnya tiada pilihan,bubar DUN dia kalah,tak bubar DUN pun dia kalah. Kalau bubar DUN tak tentu lagi 28 + 3 ADUN BN dan katak-katak itu akan dipilih semula. Seperti mana yang diramalkan oleh mentornya, BN akan kalah, nyaris-nyaris tinggal 8 saja.

Kalau tak bubar DUN, Najib juga dapat malu, kerana MB yang dilantik itu adalah lantikan mahkamah bukan pilihan rakyat. Sudah pasti rakyat Perak tak mahu seorang MB yang dipilih oleh mahkamah. Mahu tak mahu Najib kena juga suruh MB Zambry minta Tuanku Sultan bubar DUN.

Now Najib is stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea........

He even throws the ball to the Sultans court!

The question is whether Najib got balls to advise Zambry to seek the Sultan permission to dissolve the Perak State Assembly?

Najib........stop the sandiwara and get to work.........

cheers.

Sikap double standard Mahkamah Rayuan.............

Mahkamah Rayuan menetapkan Isnin(18/5/09) ini bagi mendengar permohonan Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin untuk mengetepikan perintah Mahkamah Rayuan yang diperoleh Zambry Abdul Kadir semalam, yang menangguhkan pelaksanaan pengisytiharan Mahkamah Tinggi bahawa Mohammad Nizar adalah MB Perak yang sah.

Tarikh itu ditetapkan selepas Mohammad Nizar memfailkan notis usul itu di pejabat Pendaftar Mahkamah Rayuan di sini pada jam 2.20 petang menerusi firma guaman Tetuan Leong & Tan.Turut disertakan bersama notis usul itu ialah sijil supaya kes itu disegerakan.

Hakim Datuk Ramly Ali sudah membenarkan permohonan Zambry semalam untuk supaya ditangguhkan pelaksanaan perintah pengisytiharan itu sehingga kes rayuannya selesai diputuskan oleh mahkamah.

Dalam permohonannya, Mohammad Nizar, 52, mahu Mahkamah Rayuan mengetepikan perintah pelaksanaan itu dan secara alternatifnya memohon mahkamah meminda perintah pelaksanaan itu dengan memasukkan terma-terma yang difikirkan wajar.

Dalam afidavit sokongannya, Mohammad Nizar berkata, keputusan Mahkamah Rayuan semalam untuk memberikan perintah penggantungan itu kepada Zambry adalah salah dan beliau (Nizar) mengemukakan permohonan untuk membetulkan perkara itu.

Nampaknya Mahkamah rayuan tidak mahu bertindak sebegitu pantas seperti mana yang dilakukan kelmarin bila Zambry memohon untuk ketepikan perintah Mahkamah Tinggi dalam tempoh 2 jam setelah Zambry menfailkannya. Kedua-dua permohonan itu adalah atas dasar kepentingan awam,tetapi kenapa bagi Zamry dibuat dalam tempoh 2 jam sedangkan Nizar kena tunggu sampai hari Isnin?

Kalau ini bukan sikap double standard, apakah jadah namanya?...... mungkin mahkamah kita dah tahu membeza antara orang gomen dengan orang pembangkang kot!

cheers.

When the Court of Appeal strikes like lightning..........

It took almost 2 years for the Court of Appeal to finally reject Canny Ong murder appeal after the High court convicted Ahmad Najib Aris for raping and murdering the IT analyst.

On Feb 23, 2005, the Shah Alam High Court sentenced Ahmad Najib to death for raping and murdering Canny Ong, 29, at the 11th kilometre of Jalan Klang Lama between 1am and 5am on June 14, 2003.

However it barely took about 19 hours for the Court of Appeal to grant a stay of execution on the High Court decision which recognised Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as the rightful Perak menteri besar.

Btw. shouldnt ex-MB Zamry apply the stay of execution to the High court rather than the Court of Appeal ( refer to Civil Procedure by Jefrey Pinsler page 860) and the manner in which the Court of Appeal strike like lightning speed is disputable. The Court of Appeal did not dispute yet the findings of the High Court, so who is the real MB Perak?, please stand up. By right Zambry is now heading a caretaker gomen........

Dont you guys smell something fishy……………

Najib ruled out on calling for a snap state election in the state, stating that such a thing was the prerogative of the Sultan.

Yes, it is the Sultan prerogative to call a snap election by agreeing to dissolve the assembly. But, Mr.Najib, how is the Sultan gonna do this when you tied his hand and mind with your pending appeal at the Appeal Court?

In fact, its only Najib's decision that decides the faith of the Perak DUN imbroglio. So, it's Najib's call........

Today Nizar Jamaluddin is applying to set aside yesterday's Court of Appeal order to stay his declaration as the rightful mentri besar of Perak. Lets see how quick will the Court of Appeal act when its the opposition turn to apply..................

Sementara itu Majlis Peguam berpendirian keputusan Mahkamah Rayuan itu bererti Zambry hanyalah penjaga kuasa kerajaan negeri atau “head of a caretaker government” sehingga rayuan penuh beliau didengar.

“Oleh itu Zambry tidak harus merancang untuk memanggil sidang khas Dewan Undangan Negeri tergempar kerana beliau tidak mempunyai kuasa berbuat demikian,” kata Naib Presiden Majlis Peguam Lim Chee Wee.

Desas-desus kencang bertiup Zambry akan memohon kepada Sultan Perak untuk memanggil sidang tergempar DUN itu bagi meluluskan usul tidak percaya terhadap Nizar.

Ex-MB Zambry likened himself to Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi.........

Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, whose nearly three-month tenure as mentri besar was ruled illegitimate by the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Monday, has likened himself to Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi.

Warning Pakatan Rakyat not to under-estimate him, he said the High Court’s “shocking decision” did not mean he would give up the fight.

“To me, losing the mentri besar post will not reduce my fighting spirit in upholding the truth.

If reinstated Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin and his “friends ... assume that the High Court’s decision will dampen my spirit, then they have read me wrong,” he said in a blog entry early Tuesday morning.

He said a person did not need to hold a post in his struggle to uphold the truth, and likened the recent struggles faced by him and his “comrades from the Barisan Nasional” to those endured by politicians like Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi.

“Nelson Mandela sacrificed his freedom for 27 years in order to free South Africans from the grip of ‘apartheid.’

Nelson Mandela dan Mahatma Ghandi tidak akan bertindak sekejam ini...........

dan ini.......


Nelson Mandela dan Mahatma Ghandi menghormati kehendak rakyat,malah memperjuangkan hak asasi rakyat jelata. Kalau Zambry samakan dirinya dengan Nelson Mandela dan Mahatma Ghandi, apakah dia sanggup memohon restu Tuanku Sultan membubarkan DUN Perak,supaya rakyat boleh pilih gomen yang rakyat suka?

Janganlah dok berkokok kononnya berjuang untuk rakyat sedangkan tugas engkau sebenarnya menjadi 'yes man' dan menjilat bontot Najib saja.

Breaking News......

Ex-MB Zambry gets a stay order...With this order, the situation in Perak is back to the starting block with the question of the legitimate menteri besar to be decided by the Court of Appeal in a date to be fixed soon. 5 FRU trucks deployed outside State Secretariat building in Ipoh.

How long is this sandiwara is going to last....only UMNO knows!! Tell us Najib !!

Nizar diterima mengadap Raja Nazrin pagi ini...........

MB Perak Nizar Jamaluddin telah diterima mengadap oleh Raja Nazrin Shah pada 8.30 pagi ini, mengikut satu kenyataan S. A Sivanesan ADUN Sungkai sebentar tadi.

Adalah dipercayai, persetujuan Raja Nazrin Shah untuk terima mengadap akan digunakan sepenuhnya oleh DS Nizar bagi memohon perkenan pihak istana Perak bagi membubarkan Dewan Undangan Negeri Perak dan seterusnya diadakan pilihanraya semula bagi seluruh DUN di negeri Perak Darul Ridzuan.

Adalah difahamkan bahawa DYM Sultan Azlan Shah kini masih lagi berada di Amerika Syarikat.

Mohammad Nizar berkata, beliau dan kesemua Exconya akan memulakan tugas seperti biasa pada pukul 7.15 pagi ini.

Beliau juga berkata, mesyuarat tersebut memutuskan untuk meneruskan dasar-dasar yang diputuskan oleh kerajaan negeri di bawah BN selama tiga bulan yang boleh membawa manfaat kepada rakyat.

Selain itu katanya, V Sivakumar masih merupakan Speaker Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) yang sah.

Katanya, Datuk R Ganesan yang dilantik oleh BN sebagai Speaker DUN adalah tidah sah kerana masih belum mengangkat sumpah.

Sehubungan itu kata beliau, apa juga kemungkinan sidang DUN tergempar yang akan dibawa BN pada pagi ini adalah tidak sah.

"Untuk mengadakannya, mereka mesti memberi notis," katanya.

Petang tadi Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur memutuskan bahawa Nizar adalah Menteri Besar yang sah.

Sementarea itu Najib berkata, rayuan akan dikemukakan terhadap keputusan mahkamah hari ini.

"Kita akan merayu terhadap keputusan itu dan kita harap mendapat tarikh awal untuk melakukannya. Saya tidak boleh mengulas banyak kerana perkara ini masih dalam bidangkuasa mahkamah.

Najib, tolonglah jangan biarkan krisis ini berlarutan. Eloklah DUN Perak dibubarkan segera dan biarlah rakyat Perak tentukan siapa yang mereka mahu untuk diangkat jadi gomen. Soal menang kalah adalah perkara kedua. Kedua-dua pihak PR dan BN harus menerima keputusan rakyat ini secara gentleman...........

Nizar - MB Perak yang sah..........

Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur mengumumkan Datuk Seri Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin sebagai menteri besar sah Perak setelah digugurkan jawatan tersebut awal bulan lalu.

Dalam penghakimannya, hakim Abdul Aziz Abd Rahim berkata seseorang menteri besar hanya boleh dipecat melalui undi tidak percaya di DUN, seperti kes Stephen Kalong Ningkan.

Hakim menambah, dalam kes pelucutan Mohamad Nizar, tiada persidangan dewan diadakan untuk meluluskan usul sedemikian.

Mengulas kemenangannya, menteri besar Pakatan Rakyat itu berkata beliau akan menghadap Sultan Perak berhubung penghakiman mahkamah tersebut.

The High Court here ruled rule on Monday that Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin is the rightful Perak Mentri Besar, and not Barisan Nasional’s Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir. In an immediate response, Zambry said he would apply for a stay pending appeal. This was rejected by the court. Zambry's lawyer Cecil Abraham's application for a stay of proceedings pending an appeal was also rejected by the court.

He also ordered Zambry and his exco members to vacate the office as soon as possible.

In his ruling, Justice Abdul Aziz Abd Rahim said that a new mentri besar could not be appointed as the office had not been vacated. He said a mentri besar can only be dismissed by a vote of no confidence, and upheld the Stephen Kalong Ningkan ruling. He noted that the Perak State Legislative did not hold a vote of no confidence.

Nizar is expected to seek an audience with the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, to get his consent to dissolve the Assembly and call for fresh state elections.

The decision is now set to bring about more uncertainty in the state.

No wonder,Najib Razak was so kind enough to offer help to PR to resolve the crisis in Perak.

Probably its too late........ So will the DUN be dissolve or BN will pressure on to stay in power?

One must not forget that BN still have the upper hand with regards to the state assembly. While the court has not recognised Zambry's appointment as MB, the appointment of new state assembly speaker R Ganesan is still valid. In view of this, Ganesan could call for an emergency sitting where a motion of no-confidence would be moved against Mohammad Nizar. With its '28 + 3' BN as opposed to Pakatan's 28, BN should have no problem in pushing the motion through.

ALLAHUAKHBAR!!!!!!!!!!!! HAVE FRESH ELECTIONS NOW!!!!!!

cheers.

BN willing to cooperate,to overcome Perak crisis says Najib......

The Barisan Nasional (BN) government is willing to cooperate with the opposition parties to resolve the political crisis in Perak but this does not mean it would agree to form a coalition government.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak said today the cooperation should be based on the spirit of mutual respect and adherence to the law.

"Cooperation does not mean forming a coalition government. It doesn't have to be in that form ... it can take various other forms but the most important thing is that there should be mutual respect," he told reporters after opening a meeting of the Pekan Umno branch.

Najib was commenting on a statement by DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang on Saturday that Lim was willing to meet Najib to discuss the Perak political impasse. Najib said the Perak political crisis could be avoided if all parties adhered to the law and respected one another.

"If we respect the law, and everyone should respect the law, there won't be any crisis and things won't turn into a crisis," he said.

"But when all are claiming that they are right, then there are bound to be problems."

He said the BN government had always been keeping an open attitude and giving its best service to the people.

"We don't want the situation (in Perak) to prolong. We want to serve the people, for everyone in Perak and throughout the country," he said.

Can you really thrust this fellow? PAS was cheated once and booted out from the BN coalition. If PR wants to talk make sure that dissolving the Perak State Assembly and have an election must be part of the agenda. If not than there shouldnt be any deal........

DUN Perak tak ubah macam Dewan Perundangan Taiwan.........

Episod hitam yang berlaku dalam DUN Perak Selasa lalu adalah sangat memalukan. Lebih-lebih lagi di Malaysia, di mana rakyatnya berbilang kaum serta kaya dengan adat budaya ketimuran dan mengamalkan sikap hormat menghormati antara satu sama lain.

Apa yang jelas budaya samseng ala mat rempit yang di bawa ke dewan itu tidak seharusnya berlaku,tambah-tambah lagi ketika Tuanku Raja Nazrin sedang menanti untuk memberikan ucap titah diraja tuanku. Nampaknya Raja Nazrin Shah lebih menghormati DUN Perak apabila sanggup "mencemar Duli" dengan menunggu lampu hijau dari Speaker DUN Sivakumar,untuk merasmikan DUN.

Penganalisis politik Dr Sivamurugan Pandian berkata episod dalam DUN Perak semalam adalah sesuatu yang tidak sepatutnya berlaku dalam konteks demokrasi di Malaysia hari ini.

"Kita tak seharusnya sampai ke tahap mentaliti dunia seperti yang berlaku dalam dewan perundangan di Taiwan," katanya.Dengan perkembangan terbaru ini, Sultan Perak Sultan Azlan Shah, katanya, wajar campur tangan bagi menyelesaikan masalah ini secara muktamad.

Pensyarah Fakulti Undang-undang Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia, Prof Dr Aziz Bari menyifatkan kejadian yang berlaku itu sebagai detik hitam terbaru dalam sistem demokrasi berparlimen Malaysia.

“Tindakan menggunakan anggota polis untuk mengusir keluar Speaker dan Adun daripada dewan merupakan peristiwa hitam dalam sejarah demokrasi dan hidup berpelembagaan di Negara kita,” katanya. Beliau membidas tindakan polis menceroboh masuk DUN Perak untuk mengheret keluar Spekaer V.Sivakumar dari Pakatan Rakyat.

Menurutnya lagi, tindakan mematikan pembesar suara Sivakumar sejak awal lagi agak jelek dan tidak patut berlaku dalam sebuah demokrasi moden. Dr Aziz menegaskan bahawa apa yang dilakukan oleh BN adalah tidak betul.

Benar kata Dr Mahathir bahawa UMNO/BN terlalu tergopoh-gapah didalam isu "Perak" ini. Apa saja MB Zambry buat betul-betul melanggar norma-norma persidangan dewan, apabila.....

a. Mengingkari perintah Speaker agar keluar dari dewan...

b. Melantik Speaker baru walaupun Speaker Lama belum letak jawatan.

c. Mengadakan "persidangan DUN" sebelum upacara perasmian oleh Raja Muda Perak,Raja Nazrin Shah.

Sepatutnya DUN Perak dibubarkan saja untuk membolehkan rakyat Perak memilih gomen yang baru. Tetapi apabila kemelut ini dibiarkan untuk dipertikaikan di mahkamah,semuanya menjadi lintang pukang. Ini adalah kerana setiap pengamal undang-undang akan memberi interpretasi yang berbeda-beda serta mempersoalkan perkara-perkara tenikal serta isu-isu remeh temeh yang berbagai-bagai. Lebih menyulitkan lagi,seandainya hakim jenis 'correct,correct,correct' dipilih untuk mengendalikan kes-kes tersebut. Tambah-tambah lagi bila keputusan-keputusan yang bakal dibuat berat sebelah.

Tindakan MB Zambry untuk memanggil persidangan DUN Perak secara tergesa-gesa,kononnya jika ianya tidak dibuat sebelum 13 Mei 2009 ini, DUN Perak akan bubar secara otomatik. Betulkah perlembagaan negeri Perak mengatakan begitu? Apa yang saya tahu dari rakan loyar saya,bahawa tidak ada fasal dalam perlembagaan Perak yang menyentuh bab pembubaran.

Mahkamah Tinggi akan membuat keputusan pada hari Isnin ini tentang siapakah MB Perak yang sah. Apa akan berlaku sekiranya mahkamah tinggi memutuskan bahawa Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin(PR) adalah MB Perak yang sah?

Sebaliknya,kalau mahkamah tinggi mengesahkan bahawa Zambry sebagai MB yang sah, rakyat akan mengandaikan bahawa tindakan MB Zambry sebagai tergesa-gesa,mabuk kuasa dan bertindak membelakangkan keputusan mahkamah.

Namun,keputusan mahkamah tinggi Isnin ini tidak akan menyelesaikan masalah, kerana pihak yang kalah berpeluang untuk merayu ke mahkamah rayuan dan federal. Jadi, kemelut gomen Perak akan berterusan tanpa nokta untuk satu jangkamasa yang panjang, kerana kedua-dua pihak enggan bertolak ansor.

Dalam saat-saat yang kritikal begini campur tangan Tuanku Sultan adalah wajar, sungguhpun Tuanku Sultan berada di atas politik, nasihat dan tunjuk ajar dari Tuanku Sultan boleh sekurang-kurangnya meredakan 'tension'.

Baca sini dan sini.

On another note, in order to divert attention from the Perak fiasco BN gomen created, the gomen announced it will release in the next few days 3 leaders of the outlawed Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) protest group along with 10 others who had been held without trial, just a day after over 60 people were arrested in anti-government protests.

The trio are Hindraf advisor P. Uthayakumar, K. Vasantha and M. Manoharan, who was elected Kota Alam Shah assemblyman in last year's general election when he was under detention. They had been trying to seek freedom through the courts, but without any success.

The Rape of Democracy in Perak............

Outside the Perak State Assembly...............









Inside the Perak State Assembly............

A group of thugs with "officials" tag entered the Perak assembly hall and dragged Speaker Sivakumar and threw him out from assembly.

Is this what Najib promised as reform and 1Malaysia? We had witness the demise of democracy. Will this be the begining of the end for UMNO/BN come the next general election? Was taking power through the backdoor worth it, Najib?

Only you can answer to that question.

Dapatkah Sivakumar Gagalkan Perancangan UMNO/BN.......

Sidang Dewan Undangan Negeri Perak 7 Mei ini bukanlah persidangan biasa dalam mana-mana sidang DUN di negara ini.Sidang DUN 7 Mei dianggap pertembungan nilai-nilai yang bertunjangkan keadilan dan kedaulatan undang-undang dengan undang-undang rimba dan kerakusan kuasa, seperti mana juga pertembungan haq dan bathil dalam ajaran agama sejagat. Oleh itu sidang hari Khamis ini menjadi bukan sahaja perhatian rakyat Perak khususnya dan rakyat Malaysia amnya malah menjadi fokus masyarakat dunia.

Sidang 7 Mei akan memperlihatkan kepada seluruh makhluk alam ini sama ada rakyat yang terus menerus ditindas dan dinafikan hak mereka oleh satu sistem kerajaan yang membelakangi segala yang betul, teratur dan lurus akan mencapai kemenangan hitam mereka sekali lagi atau apakah kuasa rakyat yang dalam sejarah dunia mampu menghadapi apa saja kuasa bakal mengalahkankan kuasa jahat yang selama ini membelenggu mereka.

Apa yang bakal terjadi di dalam ruang DUN 7 Mei hanya berdasarkan spekulasi semata-mata tetapi jika diteliti Perintah-Perintah Tetap DUN dan Perlembagaan Perak beberapa kemungkinan bakal berlaku pada hari Khamis kelak. Percubaan pertama Umno dan Barisan Nasional yang diketuai oleh Menteri Besar yang masih dipertikaikan status halal haramnya, Zambry Abd Kadir ialah menyingkirkan Speaker, V. Sivakumar. Dalam DUN Speaker berkuasa sepenuhnya dan kuasa beliau tidak boleh dicabar hatta dalam mahkamah sekali pun.

Jika ada Ahli-Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri BN cuba membuat kacau dan menganggu gugat sidang, mereka boleh digantung oleh Sivakumar atau diarahkan keluar Dewan. Jika empat ADUN BN digantung Pakatan Rakyat akan memperolehi majoriti mudah dan undi tidak percaya terhadap Zambry boleh diadakan. Sekiranya ini berlaku Speaker kemudiannya akan memaklumkan kepada Sultan Perak bahawa Zambry tidak lagi menikmati sokongan majoriti ahli-ahli Dewan.

Pada peringkat Sultan Azlan mempunyai dua opsyen; pertama baginda akan perkenankan supaya DUN dibubarkan dan pilihan kedua baginda akan mengganti Zambry. Di bawah undang-undang tubuh negeri Perak, Sultan tidak mempunyai kuasa untuk memecat Menteri Besar atau meminta beliau meletak jawatan. Jika ini terjadi maka Perak akan mempunyai dua Menteri Besar tanpa kedudukan yang sah di sisi undang-undang. Kemungkinan Sultan Azlan berbuat demikian hampir mustahil kerana baginda adalah pakar perundangan dan arif mengetahui selok belok perundangan negeri dan negara. Pilihan yang paling afdal bagi baginda ialah memperkenankan pembubaran DUN dan inilah logik yang paling diterima akal dan direstui rakyat.

Walau bagaimanapun situasi ideal ini hanya akan berlaku sekiranya persidangan DUN tersebut adalah adil dan saksama. Dalam hubungan ini peranan yang dimainkan oleh Setiausaha DUN adalah penting.

Langkah pertama BN ialah memperakui perlantikan Setiausaha yang pro-BN. ADUN-ADUN BN akan berlakon untuk menonjolkan imej Speaker sebagai seorang yang menderhaka terhadap Sultan dan atas alasan itu beliau boleh disingkir melalui peruntukan Artikel 31 (1) perlembagaan negeri.

Sebaliknya jika Sivakumar gagal hadir pada hari sidang bermula maka Artikel 36 (A) boleh digunapakai untuk melantik seorang Speaker baru. BN sudah pun mengumumkan bekas ADUN Sungkai yang juga seorang peguam, R. Ganesan sebagai calon Speaker. Artikel 36 menggariskan prosedur perlantikan Speaker yang bukan daripada kalangan ADUN. Dalam apa hal pun Pakatan Rakyat tidak akan berdiam diri dan mempunyai strateginya sendiri sebagaimana juga Zambry. Seperti juga dalam permainan daun pakau, pemain akan menyimpan daun kemenangan sampai kepenghujung permainan dan akan menggunakannya pada saat-saat terakhir.

Persoalannya apakah senjata sulit yang disimpan oleh kedua-dua belah pihak. Sekiranya mahu menang dalam pertarungan dalam DUN 7 Mei nanti Pakatan Rakyat perlu melancarkan ofensif sekiranya mahu terus menguasai Dewan. Senjata terkuat Pakatan Rakyat terletak dalam Perintah-Perintah Tetap yang menjadi tunggak kuasa Speaker. BN selagi boleh tidak mahu berhadapan dengan rakyat melalui pilihan raya negeri kerana mereka tahu akan kalah teruk, lebih teruk daripada Pilihan raya Umum 2008.

Rakyat pula menolak mereka dan meneruskan ciri penolakan Umno dan BN seperti yang dilihat dalam pilihan raya kecil Bukit Gantang bulan lalu. BN akan cuba sedaya upaya mereka untuk terus berkuasa walaupun tanpa mandat rakyat. Pakatan Rakyat pula perlu mencari pendekatan terbaik dan sistematik supaya DUN dapat dibubarkan dan dikembalikan memerintah Perak dengan majoriti jauh lebih besar dan mantap.

Meanwhile police have obtained a court injunction which will empower them to arrest on sight any member of the public seen within the vicinity of Perak state secretariat building. The court injunction bars all supporters of political parties from gathering within 500 meters of the building, where the controversial state assembly sitting will be held. Supporters from both Pakatan Rakyat and Barisan Nasional are expected to turn up to support their respective sides in the on-going power struggle to control the state.

MCPXThe court injunction bars all supporters of political parties from gathering within 500 meters of the building, where the controversial state assembly sitting will be held tomorrow.Supporters from both Pakatan Rakyat and Barisan Nasional are expected to turn up to support their respective sides in the on-going power struggle to control the state.

The Federal. Constitution spells out that the King and/or the Ruler is powerless to remove a PM or a CM and also that the court have no jurisdiction over the speakers decision in the legislature. However, all theses helps BN whilst in power, but turn to be a bitter medicine when they lost power, so now BN just don't care about law and order. So far, the AG,Judges, Police, the State Secretariat and UMNO leaders are all making a mockery of the legal system and seem to interpret the Federal and State Constitution according to their whims and fancies.

Dr Mahathir Mohamad said his understanding was that any state Ruler cannot remove the head of government.

"I don't know how different the Perak Constitution is from the Federal Constitution but if a leader asks the Ruler to dissolve the assembly, the Ruler has the right to refuse. But he cannot remove the head of government either," the country's fourth prime minister told reporters today.

"The head of government will then have to function without a majority and can be removed via a motion of no confidence," said Dr Mahathir, who as prime minister led a successful move to remove the immunity of the Rulers in 1993.

He also said a state assembly speaker can be sued if there are complaints or if laws are broken. However, the judiciary cannot interfere with the speaker's decisions on its own.

"If someone makes a complaint or if there is evidence of a breach of law, the judiciary can pass judgment. If what the speaker is doing is in accordance with the law, that is quite different from rules of legislature which have certain privileges," he said, adding the judiciary can judge only if the privileges are abused.

Btw. the police will arrest those wearing black.....ooooooo apa punya fobia!!!

Lets hope that Perak's DUN dissolves. Go back to the rakyat for a new mandate..............

Deputy Higher Education Minister - Allow Oppposition leaders to talk in public universities........

Deputy Higher Education Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah says public universities should open up to allow politicians from both sides of the political divide to speak in campuses to expose students to politics.

In an interview with Sin Chew Daily, Saifuddin said many universities did not understand the essence of the amended Universities and University Colleges Act (UUCA).

A very clear example, he said, is that some universities still do not allow their students to invite Opposition leaders to give political talks in their campuses.

"Do we want opposition leaders to come into the campus or want students to expose themselves to politics outside (the campus)? I prefer to let them (opposition leaders) into the campus.

"I have debated with Opposition leaders in campus. They respect the academic culture of universities when they talk politics, and their discussions with students, too, are more academic in nature."

Saifuddin does not believe that by allowing the Opposition into campus would affect the students' thinking.

He said Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties should not come up with regulations to keep the Opposition out of universities just because they cannot find leaders who dare to hold debates with Opposition leaders in the campus.

He said at the moment, BN component parties were not capable of promoting their ideologies to university students.

An advocate for the amendment of the UUCA before he was appointed a deputy minister, Saifuddin added that the government should amend Section 15 of the Act to give students the freedom to participate in political activities.

He said Section 15 of the Act bars students from joining any political party or taking part in any political activity without the approval of their universities.

The only problem here, almost all public universities have UMNO appointed VCs, so mana ada chance opposition members to enter these campuses?

The deputy minister only ajak-ajak ayam.......

N12 Penanti - Siapa nak bilang berapa ramai penyokong yang hadir.......

Dalam usaha mengawal persekitaran luar kawalan pada hari penamaan calon, parti-parti politik yang bertanding ‘dilarang’ membawa penyokong mengiringi calon tidak lebih daripada 5,000 orang. Pendekatan itu akan dikuatkuasakan semasa pilihan raya kecil kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Penanti, Pulau Pinang bulan ini.

Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) dan polis telah mencapai persetujuan mengenai soal itu semasa satu pertemuan Khamis lalu. Justeru, SPR menyerahkan kepada polis untuk melaksanakan pendekatan tersebut.

“SPR dan polis merayu dan berharap parti-parti politik yang bertanding dalam mana-mana pilihan raya kecil mulai sekarang supaya mengehadkan kehadiran para penyokong yang mengiringi calon pada hari penamaan calon tidak melebihi 5,000 orang,” kata Timbalan Pengerusi SPR, Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar ketika dihubungi mStar Online.

Aspek itu juga telah disentuh pada pertemuan dengan parti-parti politik 23 April lalu tetapi soal bilangan hanya dipersetujui Khamis lalu dalam pertemuan dengan polis. Beliau memberitahu, walaupun 5,000 penyokong dibolehkan mengiringi calon sehingga kawasan pekarangan pusat penamaan calon, hanya 50 orang sahaja akan dibenar memasuki khemah tetamu khas di dalam pusat penamaan calon.

Lazimnya, himpunan ribuan penyokong calon menjadi tumpuan ketika pilihan raya kecil. Sambil menyifatkan bilangan yang diputuskan itu sebagai munasabah, kata beliau, SPR menyerahkan kepada polis untuk mengambil langkah-langkah sewajarnya untuk melaksanakan pendekatan tersebut.

“Oleh kerana perkara ini tidak disebut dalam mana-mana peraturan pilihan raya, jadi apa yang SPR boleh buat ialah mengharap dan merayu kepada parti-parti politik agar memastikan kehadiran tidak melebihi 5,000 orang.

“Bagaimanapun apabila polis melaksanakan pendekatan ini di luar kawasan (pusat penamaan calon), terserah kepada pihak polis untuk mengambil tindakan mengikut kuasa dan tanggungjawab mereka,” katanya.

Wan Ahmad mengakui bilangan penyokong yang hadir semakin bertambah dan tidak terkawal sehingga menyusahkan orang ramai dan pasukan keselamatan sejak kebelakangan ini.

“Kalau tidak dibuat sekarang, jumlah mereka yang hadir pada hari penamaan calon akan bertambah… mungkian beribu-ribu orang dan ia akan terus bertambah,” kata beliau dengan merujuk kepada suasana semasa pilihan raya kecil sejak awal 2007, khususnya di Ijok, Selangor; Permatang Pauh, Pulau Pinang, Bukit Gantang, Perak dan Bukit Selambau, Kedah.

Kata Wan Ahmad, pihaknya mahu mengambil langkah-langkah proaktif sebelum keadaan bertambah buruk pada masa depan. Jelas beliau, parti-parti politik sebenarnya telah diminta mengambil langkah mengawal emosi dan perlakuan para penyokong tetapi keadaan tidak berubah.

“Apa yang kita boleh buat ialah merayu kepada parti-parti politik yang bertanding mematuhi keputusan yang dicapai ini,” katanya.

“Kami memerlukan kerjasama parti-parti politik… kerjasama sangat diperlukan,” katanya.

Selain pendekatan itu, SPR telah memutuskan untuk melarang parti-parti politik mendirikan pondok panas dan berkempen pada hari pengundian berlangsung.

Dalam pada itu, Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Musa Hassan pula menyifatkan nasihat yang diputuskan oleh SPR itu sebagai langkah baik untuk mengawal situasi semasa pilihan raya kecil khususnya penamaan calon.

“SPR sudah memberikan nasihat dan kami berharap mereka akan mematuhi nasihat ini,” kata beliau sambil menambah bahawa Ketua Polis Negeri dan Ketua Polis Daerah akan memaklumkan parti-parti politik mengenai pendekatan baru ini. Musa juga menghadiri pertemuan dengan SPR Khamis lalu.

Nampaknya sejak UMNO/BN tewas 4-1 dalam pilihanraya kecil baru-baru ini, UMNO/BN dah nak phobia pasal bilangan penyokong yang hadir semasa hari penamaan calon ketika PRK. Lantas komponen BN - SPR dan PDRM telah mengambil langkah-langkah drastik bagi menghalang penyokong-penyokong parti pembangkang berhimpun ketika hari penamaan calon di Penanti.

UMNO/BN berasa malu melihat bahawa kehadiran penyokong-penyokong Pakatan Rakyat biasanya mencecah hampir-hampir 50,000 orang atau lebih. Semuanya hadir secara rela hati. Berbeda dengan UMNO/BN di mana penyokong-penyokongnya dipaksa hadir. Itu pun tak ramai,jadi mereka terpaksa import daripada luar. Kalau tak cukup upah pelajar-pelajar sekolah,pelatih-pelatih khidmat negara dan juga penyokong-penyokong upahan professional untuk 'to make up the crowd'dan dijanji upah RM100,nasi bungkus dan air kotak.

Kehadiran sebanyak antara 5000 hingga 7,000 yang dicadangkan itu adalah semata-mata untuk saing dengan bilangan yang sama mampu digerakkan oleh UMNO/BN saja.

Bagi penyokong-penyokong Pakatan Rakyat tak perlulah risau,kerana ini bukan peraturan dalam Akta Pilihanraya, tapi hanya understanding SPR,PDRM dan parti-parti politik yang bertanding.

Pada hari penamaan calon Penanti,penyokong-penyokong Pakatan Rakyat keluarlah beramai-ramai,kalau boleh mencecah 100,000 ramainya.....siapa yang nak bilang tiap-tiap penyokong PR yang hadir itu? SPR...PDRM..... macam depa tak ada kerja lain.

N12 Penanti - Dr.Mansor talks about his chances & plan.........

Former academician and PKR state deputy leader, 58-year-old Mansor Othman is PKR's choice to contest the Penanti by-election in Penang on the behalf of Pakatan Rakyat coalition. He earned a Masters degree in social science from USM, and a Masters in Arts and a Masters in Philosophy from Yale University.

Mansor, a former professor from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), was Anwar's political secretary from 1996 to 1998when the parliamentary Opposition Leader was the deputy prime minister in the Barisan Nasional government.

Mansor, the PKR Balik Pulau division chief, is married to housewife Aishah Zainul, 58, and has three sons - Mohd Fadzli, 28, Mohd Ashraf, 19 and Mohd Afnan, 18. He has served in PKR's supreme council for 10 years and is currently the party national election machinery deputy director.Mansor is a highly-respected figure within PKR circle and seen as a politically strong and untainted character who could not be bullied by rivals.

Mansor however, has a black mark in his CV - a history of losing streaks in general elections. He lost to Zain Omar in the Balik Pulau parliamentary duel in 1999, to Ariff Shah Omar Shah in Seberang Jaya state seat contest in 2004 and to Muhammad Farid Saad by 294 in Pulau Betong state constituency. He hopes to end the unwanted record and strip off his loser's tag with a win in the Penanti by-election.

Here Mansor talks about his chances and future plans, if elected, to Malaysiakini in an exclusive interview:

Malaysiakini: Why you offered yourself as a PKR candidate for the by-election?

Mansor: I did not offer myself. The party picked me due to my seniority, credentials, qualifications, political experience, and my working experience in the government.I am the founder member of the party and, was the first and longest serving Penang PKR chief. I have a good track record and an untainted character.

The party thought my experience would be useful for the Pakatan Rakyat state government. My inclusion will be to compliment the already strong state leadership of Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.

Do you think Umno will field a candidate?

Umno will surely field a strong candidate to give me a tough time. It's not Umno style not to contest. It's not the party culture. The party will contest although it claims to be the underdog. Umno is playing the mind game by making us favourites. We cannot afford to be complacent, be carried away or be fooled by this psychological warfare. We must stay united, campaign hard and reach out all voters to ensure victory.

How you rate your chances and do you foresee facing many independent candidates, like in Bukit Selambau?

I rate my chances of winning at more than 60 per cent. It is not being arrogant or over confidence. It's because Penanti is under Permatang Pauh - Anwar's territory. He has the support of vast majority of Penanti voters. No doubt Umno has strong presence in the area, but PKR election machinery is strong now and can deliver the votes. It's more a contest between two parties - PKR vs Umno, not among individuals. The general public mood now is against Umno and Barisan Nasional. I don't think I would face so many independent candidates. But there will be some sponsored candidates by certain people, including former PKR local leaders like ex-women chief Aminah Daud. But I am up to the challenge.

What was your party boss, Anwar's advice to you for the by-election?

He told me to always smile (laughter), be humble, willing to work hard and help the people. Basically people now want to elect a visionary representative who is service orientated. I have my vision for Penang and want to deliver it for Penangites. I will talk about it in details if and once I am elected. I have something to do for Penang, not just for Malays but for all.

What will you offer to Penang if you were elected and appointed as DCM 1?

I will complement the chief minister's work and assist him effectively to address problems and issues affecting the administration and people. I will be a strong and dynamic partner for the chief minister. I will provide a new dimension and perspective to Malay leadership in Penang. I will not be a DCM for the Malays only, but to all. We in PKR and Pakatan are moving away from the outdated BN/Umno style of racial based political governance. I personally want to change the perception for better.

I want to be a Malay leader for all, not just for the Malays. We can no longer follow the BN concept of Malay leader for Malays, Chinese for Chinese and Indians for Indians etc. We fall back if we follow that. I will also help the state government to address the Umno's connotation that Penang Malays had been left out from mainstream development. I will tackle the issue heads on to change the perception.

PKR is still losing out to Umno among older rural voters?

Yes it is true. But generally Anwar command a strong following in Penanti. There is a strong support for him. My chances of winning are not only based on my credentials, but also the party and Anwar. Our machinery in Permatang Pauh is strong. We should address this problem this time. Losing in Penanti is not in our mind. It's our pride at stake. Our supporters must work hard because Penanti and Permatang Pauh are important to us. Some feel that the party did not provide enough guidance and protection to Deputy Chief Minister 1 Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin. How will your campaign address this problem? No doubt there are undercurrent sentiments for Fairus. PKR by-election strategic team will address it during the campaign.

Is factionalism affecting Penang PKR? Can you stabilise and bring some calm influence to the state PKR?

Of course there are bound to be problems and differences in any party. But our problems are not as bad or as big as in Umno or Barisan Nasional component parties. Our problems are not that serious as claimed by some. The party did not choose me to stabilise the state PKR. No. Not true.

How is the relationship between PKR and DAP in Penang?

We have a good working relationship. But there is room for improvement. I will work towards improving it.

How is PKR relationship with PAS, especially given that Permatang Pauh PAS division wants to contest Penanti too?

We have a good relationship with PAS state leadership. I personally have a good relationship with state PAS leaders. There is no problem among us. We will address the issue of cooperation for Penanti by-election. About PAS Permatang Pauh's intention to contest, we will resolve the issue. It's normal for one of the component party to offer itself to contest a seat during election time, especially if it was a winnable seat. It's the party democratic rights. But we have our Pakatan Rakyat presidential council to address it.

It decided that PKR should contest Penanti. Even BN component parties fight among each other for seats. Gerakan and MCA have fought over so many seats. Recently Umno wanted to contest Bukit Selambau by-election at the expense of MIC. But, of course, no BN parties will dare to ask Umno's seat (laughter).

You were originally supposed to contest in Penanti in 2008 general election. Why you contested Pulau Betong instead? By now you could have been the Deputy Chief Minister, right?

Well I did not contest Penanti because I could not get a suitable replacement for Pulau Betong. Further I was confident of winning Pulau Betong. Indeed I won in the first count of votes at 7.30pm, only for the result to be different in the official announcement later. Funny! How could that happen? Same thing happened in Teluk Bahang where PKR's Abdul Halim Hussain (now Penang House Speaker) was initially said to be winner before Dr Hilmi Yahaya was declared as the victor. The newsflash on television has already showed me as the winner early on. Indeed the eventual winner Muhammad Farid Saad has already left the counting centre because he thought he had lost.

I lost in Pulau Betong because of dubious postal votes. The cast postal votes were actually more than the numbers stipulated in the electoral roll. Of course I should have taken the case to court. But one of my agents lacked the documented evidence to substantiate my claims.
So I dropped the case.

What types of issues will dominate the by-election campaign?

The local issues are still unclear. Of course Umno will play up the issue that I am an outsider contesting Penanti. But I have worked in Penanti since 1999 when I was PKR state chief. I am not alien to the area. I know the people and they know me well too. I think national issues especially on economy, corruption, judiciary, royalty and police will gain prominence. The appointment of Najib Abdul Razak as Prime Minister will not make much difference because in the end it's Umno the party which is the issue.

It's PKR versus Umno, Pakatan versus BN, not individuals. Umno lifespan is coming to an end. No party in the world can last in power for more than 50 years. Umno is a crumbling empire. Time has come for Umno to step aside and allow for new politics.
