UMNO yang sasau, meroyan, dan nyanyuk sedang tabur wang berbilion2, namun...

Anwar Ibrahim mendakwa Umno kini berada dalam keadaan "sasau, meroyan dan nyanyuk" sehingga sanggup memainkan pelbagai dakwaan termasuk hubungan dengan Yahudi dan Israel serta kenyataan anaknya, Nurul Izzah yang didakwa menyokong murtad.

"Umno kini sasau, meroyan dan nyanyuk... Sebabnya (mereka) tidak ada benda yang hendak dipertahankan. Kalau ikut negeri dan pembangunan, negeri Pakatan Rakyat lebih membangun. Bersih lagi (pentadbiran) kita.

"Yang ada (pada mereka) fitnah. Kalau rakyat sudah termakan fitnah, padahnya punah ranahlah negara kita. Kita (kena) selamatkan negara kita, umat dan negeri Kelantan dalam pilihan raya umum akan datang," kata Anwar yang juga ketua umum PKR.

Apatah lagi, katanya, rakyat kini memberi sambutan pada janji Pakatan yang ditawarkan termasuk pendidikan percuma, mengembalikan royalti kepada negeri yang berhak dan menurunkan harga kereta, sekiranya gabungan itu berjaya menguasai Putrajaya.
Berucap di hadapan kira-kira 50,000 hadirin dalam Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat di Stadium Mohamad ke-IV di Kota Bharu malam tadi, Anwar menempelak pemimpin BN yang mendakwa negara akan muflis jika Pakatan Rakyat mentadbir negara ini.

Ketua pembangkang itu menegaskan dakwaan tersebut tidak benar memandangkan terbukti sebelum ini hutang negeri Kelantan yang ditinggalkan oleh Umno sebelum ini, dibayar oleh Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat.

Malah, terkini berlakunya lebihan pendapatan kerajaan negeri Selangor sebanyak RM2.4 bilion dan Pulau Pinang sebanyak RM2 bilion kerana dipimpin oleh Pakatan Rakyat.

"Jadi MB tak pandai sebab lebihan pendapatan?" soal Anwar sambil menjelaskan hutang kerajaan yang dipimpin Perdana Menteri Najib Tun Razak kini mencecah RM538bilion.

Merujuk ucapan Presiden PAS Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang sebelum itu yang menekan soal etika, sistem nilai dan tatakelola kerajaan, Anwar yakin Pakatan Rakyat akan menawan Putrajaya sekalipun pilihan raya umum diadakan pada Disember atau Januari tahun depan.

Sementara itu, Abdul Hadi pula cuba meyakinkan puluhan ribu penonton di stadium itu mengenai kemampuan PAS dan Pakatan Rakyat jika mentadbir Putrajaya dengan adil, amanah dan bersih.

"Kalau ada rasuah, tolong tangkap, ambil tindakan. Kami tidak mahu pemimpin kerajaan yang rasuah," katanya sambil menegaskan rakyat, harta negara dan pentadbiran adalah amanah dan Allah melaknat orang yang mengamalkan rasuah.

Mengulas mengenai kerajaan yang adil, Abdul Hadi memberi contoh pentadiran Khalifah Umar Abdul Aziz yang menulis surat kepada gabenornya yang gagal bersikap adil atau berdepan risiko dipecat.

"Negara lain, kalau pemimpin mereka silap, akan dipecat. Seluruh dunia berlaku, kita bila lagi. Pecat kerajaan yang ada, gantikan dengan kami, Pakatan Rakyat. Kita laksana pentadbiran yang baik," katanya.

Turut hadir dalam himpunan tersebut, Mursyidul AM PAS Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat, Timbalan Presiden Mohamad Sabu, Ketua Parlimen DAP Lim Kit Siang serta wakil NGO BERSIH, ANAK, Lynas dan Royalti.-malaysiakini

Anwar: It's raining cash, but BN ouster is certain...

The rakyat are waiting to pocket the cash handouts that the government will be dishing out next year after polls are called but are just as eager to oust the ruling coalition, says Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.

"Even though people will be receiving the (RM500) BR1M (Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia), but I am confident that they are biding their time to cast out the BN," he declared at the Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat (People's Uprising Assembly) in Kota Baru last night.

This uprising, Anwar said, was similarly reflected in rallies across the nation including Sabah and Sarawak previously described as the BN's fixed deposit states.

"They (BN) are aware of this which is why they are becoming violent to the extent that we, including our friends in PAS, have become accustomed (to being targeted)," he said.

The night's rally itself, Anwar said, was testimony to his declaration as some 50,000 people, armed with, yellow, orange, green and red flags thronged the Sultan Muhamed VI Stadium.

The colours represent several prominent protests groups of recent years, namely the Bersih, Felda rights, anti-Lynas and Kelantan royalty movements.

Beyond symbolism, the gathering tonight was part of a series of Pakatan-driven rallies to capitalise on the existence of the diverse dissenting groups united against the government ahead of the looming polls to culminate in the mother of all rallies in Kuala Lumpur on Jan 12.

Graft probe challenge to BN

"Once we capture Putrajaya, the demands of yellow, orange, green, red, we will fulfill them all," declared PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu as the sea of people waved the flags of four colours.

Taking the podium later, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang broomed away Umno's stand that corruption happens across the board in countering its self-confessed corruption perception problem, insisting that it wasn't so in Pakatan-led states.

"If there are states led by Pakatan that indulge in corruption, then relinquish power, we do not want a corrupt state. If what Umno claim is true, then investigate," he said.

However, DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang said Umno's issue with corruption was not merely perception but fact.

Noting PAS' commitment to join hands with Pakatan in capturing Putrajaya at its muktamar earlier in the day, Lim referred to several of the ruling coalition's attack lines suggesting that the ‘unholy union' with the DAP would threaten the Malay community.

"They (BN) say if Pakatan wins power, Malays will lose power... the position of the monarchs would be threatened and Islam sidelined... Malays would be beggars in their own land... is this true?" he asked repeatedly to a loud "No!" from from the crowd each time .

Lim (left) said this was the first time since independence where a change of government was in sight with victory hingeing on the unity within Pakatan.

"Our success will depend on the unity and commitment of all parties within Pakatan by moving in unison with the same objectives, let's show we are different from the BN," he said.-malaysiakini.
