Seorang siswa terlibat, Safwan Shamsudin ketika dihubungi Malaysiakini berkata kumpulan lima individu bermotosikal itu mengepung dan mengacukan senjata tajam tersebut ke arah mereka.Kumpulan tersebut turut mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat serta mengarahkannya dan tiga lagi rakannya supaya keluar dari tempat kejadian, itu, kata Safwan.
"Bila nampak parang, kami pun beritahu (kepada pemuda bermotosikal), kami akan beredar. Salah seorang mereka merampas risalah (surat) yang kami bawa.
"Kita tidak melawan. Kita bimbang keselamatan siswi. Kita ambil pendekatan yang rasional. Kalau melawan, nampak radikal.
"Kami beredar balik ke rumah penunjuk arah yang terletak kira-kira 500 meter daripada tempat insiden berlaku," katanya.
Menurut Safwan, dia bersama kumpulan siswa berkenaan, termasuk dua orang siswi, sedang mengedarkan risalah bertajuk 'Surat Mahasiswa untuk Warga Pekan' ketika kejadian itu berlaku pada kira-kira jam 11 pagi di kawasan sebuah rumah di Felda Chini 4 itu.
Beliau seterusnya melaporkan kejadian tersebut di balai polis Chini kira-kira 50 minit kemudian, kata siswa Akademi Pengajian Islam Universiti Malaya itu lagi.
Tiga rakan mereka semalam turut berdepan tindakan kekerasan oleh sekumpulan individu dalam satu kejadian berasingan ketika mengedarkan risalah tersebut di Kampung Dato' Keramat, Mukim Ganchong, juga di Pekan.
Kumpulan
siswa berkenaan mendakwa ditumbuk dan disepak di kepala dan badan oleh
lelaki tidak dikenali dalam kejadian pada kira-kira jam 1 petang itu.Gerakan Mahasiwa PRU-13 menggerakkan anggotanya untuk mengedarkan surat berkenaan selepas mengumumkan untuk meletakkan calon di kawasan yang diwakili Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak itu.
Surat tersebut yang diperolehi Malaysiakini, antara lain menyatakan mereka nekad untuk menjadikan pilihan raya umum itu sebagai "masa untuk BN bermuhasabah atas segala pelakuan semasa menjadi kerajaan Malaysia" serta mendesak rakyat membuat perubahan dengan memilih parti selain BN memimpin kerajaan baru.
"Tidak ada salah kita mencuba kerajaan baru, kita berhak untuk mengundi BN, kita juga berhak untuk mengundi selain BN.
"Jika kepimpinan baru nanti gagal memenuhi kehendak rakyat, maka kita berhak untuk kembali memenangkan BN sebagai kerajaan Malaysia," surat itu dipetik.
Safwan berkata sebelum insiden itu berlaku, seorang pemuda menaiki kereta putih mengambil gambar dan menyuruh mereka beredar dari situ sebelum "apa-apa berlaku".
"Kami ingat ia hanya ugutan biasa sahaja. Jadi kami teruskan. Kami tidak syak apa-apa," katanya sambil menambah tindakan pemuda itu berlaku sewaktu mereka mula mengedar surat tersebut.- malaysiakini
Undergrads 'threatened with machete' in Pekan
'Malaysians of Indonesian origin threatened to continue voting for BN'...
A former bank manager who was once based in Kota Kinabalu during
the mid eighties has decided to make public the role he played in the
so-called 'Project IC' to dish out citizenship to immigrants in exchange
for votes.Speaking to Harakahdaily, Mat Swadi Awi, who worked at Bank Pertanian Malaysia, claimed that the same clandestine exercise which has been exposed by the ongoing Sabah Royal Commission of Inquiry had also been carried out in Johor.
“In Johor, they (new citizens) were briefed why they were given blue ICs or Malaysian citizenship - because UMNO needed their votes to ensure victory," said Mat Swadi.
He said a prolonged 'brainwashing' campaign had managed to frighten these IC bearers into believing that the Chinese would deny them rights in the event of a Barisan Nasional defeat.
“The May 13 (1969) tragedy was also raised to frighten the Indonesians bearing Malaysian ICs. They were also threatened that if they did not vote for UMNO-BN, the Election Commission would track down their ballot papers and their citizenship could be revoked,” said Mat Swadi.
But Mat Swadi pointed out Indonesians who are now Malaysians have faced various unjust actions by the BN government despite a desperate need for their votes.
“Indonesians who have become Malaysian citizens through the Project IC must realise that they have been used by UMNO. They must reject UMNO in this coming election to regain their dignity,” added Mat Swadi.
Mat Swadi claimed that he had acted as a catalyst behind the Project IC in Sabah along with the late USNO president, Datu Mustapha Datu Harun. He said it was part of former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s plan to oust Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) and bring UMNO to Sabah.
“It was because Mahathir was challenged by the speculation that PBS had the intention of seceding Sabah out of Malaysia," he said.
Anwar and Pak Lah
Mat Swadi, who describes himself as a former loyalist to Abdullah Badawi, also dismissed claims that Abdullah and opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim had been involved in Project IC during the late 1980s.
“In fact, Abdullah had asked me two months ago whether Anwar was involved in Project IC, but I had strongly stressed that Anwar was not involved because all in UMNO knew Anwar was not on good terms with the late Megat Junid (Megat Ayub, former deputy Home Minister) and Aziz Shamsudin (Mahathir’s former aide),” he said.
He also said that Datu Mustapha was not happy with Anwar, "so how could Anwar be involved in this Project IC?” he asked
Mat Swadi said he had yet to be called to testify at the RCI despite being listed as witness.- harakahdaily
