Najib, nak suruh debat pun takut,nak suruh dia bertanding di Permatang Pauh, nanti cirit kot...

Pemimpin Umno patut mendesak Datuk Seri Najib Razak menyahut cabaran debat dengan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sebelum memandai-mandai menetap kerusi mana bakal ditandingi Ketua Pembangkang itu.

Merujuk cadangan Ketua Umno Bahagian Cheras, Datuk Wira Syed Ali Alhabshee  untuk meyaksikan Anwar dan Najib bertanding di kawasan sama, Ketua Penerangan KEADILAN, Dr Muhammad Nur Manuty, berkata sesi debat lebih utama untuk kebaikan rakyat.

“Debat pun takut, takkan Najib sanggup lawan. Jadi saya sarankan Syed Ali supaya cabar Najib debat dulu, baru fikir untuk bertanding di mana-mana.

“Kita masih tunggu Najib terima atau tidak berdebat dengan Anwar. Itu yang rakyat tunggu-tunggu untuk jadikan negara ini melalui proses demokrasi yang sihat.

“Kita tengok sahaja debat antara Obama dengan Romney. Itu yang kita juga mahukan. Ia akan beri harapan baru kepada negara,” katanya kepada Keadilan Daily, hari ini.

Muhammad Nur juga menyifatkan cadangan Syed Ali Alhabshee itu untuk bertanding kerusi Parlimen Pekan pada pilihan raya akan datang, tidak berasas, malah menganggap tindakan itu hanya memalukan Perdana Menteri yang gagal menyahut cabaran debat walaupun surat pelawaan beberapa kali dihantar tetapi tiada jawapan.

Semalam, Syed Ali mendakwa Anwar tidak berani bertanding di Pekan sedangkan sokongan rakyat terhadap Ketua Umum KEADILAN itu semakin hari, semakin bertambah hinggakan Najib Razak sehingga kini tidak berani membubar Parlimen.

“Isu pokok bukan bertanding di mana-mana tapi berani ke Najib nak bertanding dengan Anwar.  Kita dahulukan debat, tengok macam mana, rasanya lebih ‘afdal’ buat apa yang rakyat mahukan,” katanya.- keadilandaily

BN Cuma Tinggal 110 Hari Saja Untuk Berkuasa...

Pastinya, khabar ini menggerunkan Umno dan Barisan Nasional (BN) tetapi inilah hakikat pahit yang mesti ditelan perdana menteri sekarang, Najib Altantuya.

Jika mengikut tarikh pembubaran parlimen ke-11 dahulu, iaitu pada 24 Februari 2008, BN kini hanya ada 110 hari sahaja lagi untuk memerintah Malaysia.

Bekas perdana menteri, Abdullah Badawi yang menghadap Yang di-Pertuan Agong pada tarikh tersebut sudah semestinya terkenangkan saat-saat bersejarah itu yang mengejutkan semua rakyat negara ini padahal sehari sebelumnya dia menafikan desas-desus bahawa parlimen akan dibubarkan.

Ternyata, Pak Lah bijak memperdaya rakyat Malaysia tetapi kurang bijak jika diukur dengan keputusannya.

Semuanya gara-gara kajian yang dilakukan Merdeka Center yang memberi rating 72 peratus kepada kepimpinan dan popularitinya yang membuatkan Pak Lah 'tersilau' dengan keyakinan palsu semata-mata.

Tanpa merujuk statistik sumber risikan polis dan tentera seperti kebiasaannya, Pak Lah dengan penuh yakin merasakan BN boleh terus mengekalkan majoriti dua pertiga yang dinikmatinya sejak merdeka 49 tahun lalu ketika itu.

Rupanya, semua ramalan tersebut palsu belaka.

BN tumbang di empat negeri selain gagal merampas Kelantan dari tangan PAS, manakala Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur kini lubuk Pakatan Rakyat.

Buat pertama kali dalam sejarah, Pakatan Rakyat berjaya menafikan majoriti dua pertiga BN dan menyapu 82 kerusi parlimen, meninggalkan BN cuma 140 dan hanya diselamatkan dari tsunami politik dengan kemenangan di Sabah dan Sarawak.

 

Sejak itu, lanskap politik Malaysia berubah 180 darjah.

Tiada lagi suara bingit ahli parlimen MCA, MIC dan Gerakan kerana lebih 90 peratus calonnya termasuk presiden MIC, Samy Vellu dan presiden Gerakan, Lim Keng Yaik tumbang di kawasan masing-masing.

Pak Lah cemas, hinggakan sidang media yang biasanya berlangsung lebih setengah jam cuma berlangsung tak sampai lima minit di sisi Najib Altantuya yang ketika itu timbalannya yang menang besar di Pekan.

Umno panik, kerana banyak juga menteri dan timbalan menteri tumbang kebanyakkannya di Kedah dan Perak serta di Selangor hingga memaksa rombakan kabinet dibuat bagi mengisi portfolio yang sudah kosong.

Di Sabah pula, dua hari sebelum perayaan Hari Malaysia, Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP) pimpinan Yong Teck Lee mengisytiharkan keluar BN dan dua ahli parlimennya di Tawau dan Sepanggar menjadi ahli parlimen bebas di dewan rakyat.

Daripada 140, kini BN tinggal 138 kerusi (tidak termasuk kerusi yang dimenangi di Hulu Selangor dalam pilihanraya kecil April 2009).

Pakatan Rakyat pula semakin mara dengan melancarkan serangan bertubi-tubi menggunakan apa sahaja maklumat hinggakan Pak Lah lemas dalam tekanan dan akhirnya terpaksa menyerah kalah pada 6 April 2009.

Walaupun Perak berjaya dirampas dengan taktik kotor Najib Altantuya, ia sebenarnya menambah kemarahan rakyat negeri itu setelah tiga ADUN Pakatan Rakyat dibeli dan keluar lalu menjadi ADUN mesra-BN.

Setakat artikel ini ditulis, BN sudah mula gusar ekoran khabar bahawa beberapa lagi pemimpin BN di Sabah akan keluar dan menjadi ahli parlimen Bebas.

Najib Altantuya sendiri sudah enam kali terbang ke negeri itu sejak awal tahun ini, petanda BN negeri kini cemas menghadapi kemaraan Pakatan Rakyat setiap kali Ketua Pembangkang, Anwar Ibrahim melakukan lawatan menjelajah hampir seluruh pelusuk daerah di negeri termiskin di Malaysia itu.

Daripada 25 kerusi yang ditawarkan, Pakatan Rakyat kini berpeluang memenangi lebih daripada 12 kerusi sekaligus mencerahkan peluang untuk berkuasa di Putrajaya selepas pilihanraya umum kelak.

Najib Altantuya kini menghitung hari memikirkan bagaimana BN boleh berkuasa semula di saat Pakatan Rakyat semakin menerobos ke kawasan luar bandar dan tanah rancangan FELDA memberi penerangan kepada rakyat bahawa BN sudah tidak lagi relevan memerintah Malaysia.

Justeru, 110 hari lagi yang berbaki pasti akan menjadi medan pertempuran paling sengit pernah terjadi dalam sejarah politik Malaysia sejak mencapai kemerdekaan pada 1957.

Pak Lah pula barangkai belum kebah dari 'demam tsunami' hingga pernah menyatakan hasrat berundur dari Kepala Batas tidak lama lagi! 110 hari, dan masa semakin mencemburui BN dan Najib Altantuya!- jalan pulang@jalanpulang1978.blogspot

After 55 years Bung Mokhtar realized that the BN govt. did not build roads in his rural constituency...

Bung Mokhtar Radin (BN-Kinabatangan) today urged the Rural and Regional Ministry to build roads in his rural constituency, fearing that his constituents may be swayed by opposition promises to do so if they win.

"The opposition is coming to my constituency and saying that BN has failed to build the roads after 55 years and that they will do so if they win.

"Help convince me (that these roads will be built) so I can convince my voters," he said during Question Time.


Bung (right) had asked the rural and regional minister to state the status of the applications for the construction of the Kampung Sinar Jaya, Kampung Keramuak, Kampung Kuamat and Kampung Balat roads.

"It's very difficult for the villagers, especially in this monsoon season, and communications among villages can be cut off," he said.

In response, deputy minister Joseph Entulu said that as much as he would like to do so , the budget for rural roads do no permit it.

The government has allocated RM4.5 billion to reduce the urban-rural development gap, including building 441 kilometres of rural roads nationwide under the 2013 Budget.

In a supplementary question, Azmin Ali (PKR-Gombak) asked if the government would consider awarding road construction contracts through open tender to reduce costs, considering the limited funds.
To this, the deputy minister said that he "understands that Pakatan Rakyat awards contracts via selected tender sand direct negotiations".

"The ministry is already using this (open tender)...So there is no need to teach ducks to swim," he said.- malaysiakini

Karpal: Sedition charge is discrimination by the AG...

Veteran lawyer Karpal Singh told the Kuala Lumpur High Court that there was “selective prosecution” on the part of the attorney-general in charging him with sedition against the sultan of Perak.

The 72-year-old lawyer said this in itself constitutes a form of discrimination over his rights to equality before the law as guaranteed by the federal constitution under Article 8.

Karpal said the decision to charge him was based on the many police reports lodged against him mostly by Umno members over the press conference which he held following the Perak constitutional crisis of 2009.

He said following the pressure by them and the government, the AG had decided to lay the charge on him.

“As a lawyer, I know the parameters which would be constituted as sedition as I have represented (the late) Fan Yew Teng in the past who was charged with a similar offence. What I said at the press conference does not constitute as sedition. It was the last thing in my mind to say something seditious. My persecution is discrimination on the part of the attorney-general, and this is in contravention of the federal constitution on the rights to equality.”

“Under the amendment to the federal constitution, the rulers can be criticised for their actions and this does not constitute as sedition,” he said.

'What Mahathir said in Parliament was also seditious'

Karpal said the Sultan of Perak, being a former Lord President who has also presided over numerous court cases, would not find what he said at the press conference as sedition.

The veteran lawyer also quoted the Parliamentary Hansard on what former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad had said in tabling the 1993 amendment to limit the powers of the rulers.

He said what Mahathir and former Arau MP Shahidan Kassim had said was seditious in nature but they were not charged by the then-AG.
Sedition is an offence that is not protected even if it is uttered in the legislature.

Karpal then continued reading out what Mahathir and Shahidan had said. The veteran lawyer had tried to summon Mahathir as a witness in his defence to the sedition trial.

The Bukit Gelugor MP was testifying in his defence over the charge of uttering seditious words at his office in Jalan Pudu during the press conference he held on Feb 6, 2009 over the Perak constitutional crisis.

The charge is under Section 4(1)(b) of the Sedition Act 1948, which carries a maximum fine of RM5,000 or a jail term of three years, or both, on conviction.

'Perak assembly sitting should have been allowed'

The Perak constitutional crisis arose after three Pakatan Rakyat assemblypersons, representing Jelapang, Changkat Jering and Behrang, suddenly “disappeared” and then appeared on the side of BN, resulting in the collapse of the Pakatan government under Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin.

The BN then took over the Perak government, with Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir taking over as menteri besar.

Replying to further questions from Gobind, Karpal said Article 33 of the Perak Constitution should have been followed in that the state legislature should have been called into session as the notice had already been made.

“The proper way is to call the legislature into session, and a vote of no-confidence taken. However, the ruler had acted to quiz the three assemblypersons, two from PKR and one from the DAP, to inquire on their allegiance,” he said.

““I’m not questioning the prerogative of the sultan but the manner of his conduct in inquiring the allegiance of the assemblypersons,” he told the court, which he felt was not proper

The three assemblypersons, Hee Yit Foong (Jelapang, seated on right), Mohd Osman Jailu (Changkat Jering) and Jamaluddin Md Rafzi (Jelapang) were summoned to the palace and asked for their allegiance, resulting in the fall of the Pakatan government.

Karpal said the Perak sultan could, under Article 16 (6), appoint on his discretion a new menteri besar after an election is held but not under this circumstance (asking for their allegiance), as the issue had to be resolved through the state legislative assembly.

As a lawyer and MP, the DAP chairperson said, he felt he should tell the public what should be done.

“When I said legal action can be taken against a sultan, what I meant was to file a judicial review to question his actions in court, as this is allowed under the 1993 amendment,” he said.

Besides Gobind, also present were Ramkarpal Singh and former UN special rapporteur Param Cumaraswamy, who are also acting for Karpal. The prosecution is led by DPP Noorin Badaruddin.

The trial also attracted international observers from the Inter Parliamentary Union namely Mark Trowell as well as the Bar Council and Lawasia, which were represented by Baljit Singh Sidhu.

The trial before Justice Azman Abdullah will resume on Jan 22 and 25.- malaysiakini
