PAS would have to distribute Anwar's sex videos(if) we were still with UMNO...

The reality is Umno is losing Malay support, said PAS research head Dzulkefly Ahmad, stressing that it is “undeniable” the community has been split for years.  

“But the real question that should be asked is why is the Malay support leaving Umno,” he said at a forum titled ‘Why are Malay votes split?’.

“Before, it was just between just Umno and PAS... first in 1969 and then again in 2008... today Malays are in PAS, PKR and DAP,” said the Kuala Selangor MP.

However, the split should not be regarded as a “curse” and “is necessary to save the Malay race”, Dzulkefly (right) said at the Shah Alam forum, organised by Kumpulan KarangKraf.

He recounted that PAS, which was allied with Umno from 1974 to 1978, severed ties  after falling out, with the latter claiming that Umno’s governance of the country has led to various issues affecting Muslims.

Dzulkefly added that it was for the benefit of Malays because PAS has since made progress, together with its coalition partners in Pakatan Rakyat, in ensuring that there are checks and balances in the country’s administration.
 

“We would have to distribute sex videos (allegedly) of Anwar Ibrahim (if) we were still with Umno,” he said.

The Malay community which accounts for 60.3 percent of the population, will have a harder time deciding on who vote for if Malay-rights groups such as Jalur Tiga (Jati) and Pertubuhan Pribumi Perkasa (Perkasa) decide to field independent candidates, he added.

‘Lack of a common vision’

Perkasa information chief Ruslan Kasim, however, said the existence of various politic parties is not the reason the community is divided but the lack of a common vision.
“If we were to look back at history, Malays as well as the Chinese and the Indians, were united in opposing the formation of the Malayan Union and in the defeating the British colonisers.

“Today we need to identify a common vision,” suggested Ruslan ( right), stressing that Malays have to come together when it concerns faith.

Johor PKR chief Dr Chua Jui Meng, who was also among the panellists, also concurred with Dzulkefly that the rift is evident. However, he opined that race-based politics are becoming “irrelevant”.

Chua (left) said that instead of targetting votes from a certain community, political parties should be gunning on issues of rampant corruption and abuse of public funds.

Targetting Perkasa, he said, the NGO should be more vocal on issues like he National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) controversy, capital flight and submarine commissions.

Ruslan, however, said that such matter are under investigation, particularly NFC, which is being probed by the police and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.

However, Pandan MCA parliamentarian Ong Tee Keat said that the split is apparent among all communities irrespective of race

“Let’s not hold on to the zero-sum game mindset. It does not mean that if one race is divided, another race will benefit,” he reminded, adding that racial polemics has to avoided to pave the way forward.

PAS kena edar video lucah Anwar kalau masih mahu bersama UMNO...

Pengarah penyelidikan PAS Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad perpecahan di kalangan orang Melayu tidak dapat dinafikan apabila wujud dua parti utama dari kalangan anggota masyarakat tersebut -- PAS dan Umno.

Katanya, perpecahan itu juga tidak harus dilihat sebagai satu masalah sebaliknya sebagai keuntungan kepada rakyat.
 
"Itu bukan dosa tetapi wajar untuk selamatkan orang Melayu," katanya dalam satu program wacana di Shah Alam hari ini.

Katanya, keadaan itu sendiri boleh dilihat dalam sejarah apabila para ulama dalam Umno bertindak keluar daripada pergerakan itu dan membentuk PAS.

Para ulama berkenaan bertindak demikian sebagai membantah tindakan kerajaan pada masa itu berhubung isu melibatkan umat Islam termasuk "isu loteri," katanya.

Keuntungan itu juga boleh dilihat hari ini apabila PAS kini semakin berpengaruh bersama anggota Pakatan Rakyat di Parlimen untuk menjalankan fungsi semak dan imbang.

Tambahnya, isu perpaduan Melayu itu juga timbul memandangkan Umno kini berada dalam keadaan lemah, seperti ketika selepas pilihan raya 1969.

Katanya lagi, PAS lebih mudah untuk bersama dengan DAP berbanding Umno kerana asas kerjasama tersebut adalah untuk kebaikan bersama.

"Kami kena edar video lucah Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim kalau masih bersama Umno," katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika mengulas pandangan seorang lagi ahli panel, Ruslan Kassim yang berkata umat Melayu perlu bersatu dalam asas akidah Islam.

"Macam mana PAS boleh bersama dengan DAP tetapi tidak bersama Umno," soal pemimpin pertubuhan PERKASA itu lagi.
 
Ruslan juga dicabar untuk menyatakan pendiriannya berhubung pendirian PERKASA berhubung isu rasuah yang mendapat perhatian ramai.

Seorang lagi ahli panel, pengerusi PKR Johor Datuk Dr Chua Jui Meng berkata, PERKASA sepatutnya mengutarakan isu seperti "lembu kondo", komisyen pembelian kapal selam dan juga isu pelarian modal.

Ruslan(kanan) berkata, dakwaan melibatkan National Feedlot Corporation itu sedang disiasat dan isu berhubung pendakwaan itu tertakluk kepada peguam negara.

"Kita janganlah dahului mahkamah," kata bekas majistret itu lagi.

Ruslan yang diasak oleh moderator forum selepas itu berkata, PERKASA juga berpendirian sama dalam kes Liwat II yang dihadapi ketua pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Ketika ditanya dalam sidang media selepas itu, Ruslan berkata Anwar sering menyebut mengenai "perangkap konspirasi" dan betapa bekas timbalan perdana menteri itu tidak terperanjat dengan keputusan yang akan dibuat mahkamah.

"(Anwar kata) dah tahu, tinggal baca keputusan saja. Kita tak setujulah.

"Dulu kata konspirasi, mahkamah diperalat, tapi sekarang dah lain," katanya lagi.

Seorang lagi ahli panel program wacana anjuran akhbar Sinar Harian itu ialah bekas presiden MCA, Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.
