BN/UMNO Pulau Pinang mula berperang besar pasai calon...

Tidak menunggu lama, tiga veteran BN terus mengisytiharkan perang terhadap BN apabila nama mereka tidak termasuk dalam senarai calon pilihan raya umum ke-13 yang diumumkan semalam.

Mereka adalah Penyelaras Gerakan Batu Uban A Mohan, bekas anggota Parlimen Tasik Gelugor Shariff Omar dan penyandang kerusi Sungai Dua Jasmin Mohammed.
Mohan dan Shariff malah memutuskan untuk tetap bertanding, masing-masing di Parlimen Batu Kawan dan Tasik Gelugor, yang akan menyebabkan berlakunya pertembungan tiga penjuru.

Mohan juga berkata beliau bercadang untuk bertanding bawah tiket Parti Kesejahteraan Insan (KITA).

Manakala Shariff (kanan) pula mahu menjadi "wakil bebas mesra Pakatan", tetapi tidak menyebut parti mana akan dipilihnya.

Kesemua mereka akan memaklumkan keputusan muktamad mereka pada Sabtu ini.

Ekoran itu, dengan penamaan calon tidak berapa hari, BN Pulau Pinang kini dikatakan dalam keadaan panik terhadap kemungkinan munculnya kepuakan dalam parti dan sabotaj dalaman di kerusi-kerusi Umno dan Gerakan.

Ia juga sekali gus tidak memberikan petanda yang baik kepada BN yang berharap bergantung kepada Melayu di kampung-kampung dan kawasan campuran - di mana Umno dan Gerakan bertanding.

Sementara itu, BN Pulau Pinang tidak akan menyemak semula senarai calon mereka walaupun dibantah pihak yang digugurkan atau tidak dicalonkan untuk bertanding dalam pilihan raya umum ke13 pada 5 Mei ini.

Pengerusi BN negeri Teng Chang Yeow berkata, senarai itu sudah dimuktamadkan kerana parti sudah membuat pendirian berhubung sabotaj dalaman.

Ditanya tentang tiga pemimpinnya yang mengisytiharkan perang kerana digugurkan, Teng (kiri) berkata: "Terpulang kepada mereka hendak bertanding sebagai bebas".

"Tidak banyak yang dapat saya lakukan kerana mereka meletakkan kepentingan sendiri di atas kepentingan parti."

Malam tadi, Penyelaras Gerakan Batu Uban A Mohan, bekas anggota Parlimen Tasik Gelugor Shariff Omar dan penyandang kerusi Sungai Dua Jasmin Mohammed mengisytiharkan perang terhadap BN apabila tidak terpilih sebagai calon.

Penang BN candidacy list 'final' despite protests...

The Penang BN will not review its candidacy list despite mounting discontent among those who were dropped  or have not been nominated to contest the 13th general election.

State BN chief Teng Chang Yeow said the list is final and that the coalition has made its stand on internal saboteurs.

Asked about the three BN leaders who are on the warpath because they have been dropped, Teng said: "I wish them well. It is up to them (if they want) to go as Independents.

“There is nothing much I can do because they have put self-interest above party interests.”

Last night, BN Batu Kawan coordinator A Mohan resigned from Gerakan, closed down his branch and took along with him 192 members.

Mohan said he may contest as an Independent or on a Parti Kesejahteraan Insan (Kita) ticket in the Batu Kawan parliamentary seat, as well as in a state seat. He will make a decision by Saturday, when nominations will have to be filed.

Former Tasek Gelugor MP Shariff Omar, who wants to re-contest the seat, has decided to run as a "Pakatan-friendly Independent" candidate.

Two members of his team have threatened to contest in Sungai Dua and Teluk Ayer Tawar if their preferred candidates are not fielded.

Sungai Dua incumbent Jasmin Mohammed, who attended Shariff's ceramah last night, has expressed unhappiness with the list as well.

‘Up to them, lah!’

It is learnt that several others also dissatisfied with the BN candidate list may announce their decisions to run as Independents in the coming days.

Teng (left) brushed aside the complaints on the selection process, saying: "Everyone is complaining, not just them.

"Those who are dropped are complaining. What to do?"

Asked if he would intervene in the state Umno and Gerakan lists, Teng laughed, saying "Up to them, lah".

Mohan had complained that he had been promised the Batu Kawan seat by state BN secretary Omar Fauza and told to make preparations on the ground.

"He (Mohan) can make all kinds of accusations, but I am not going to comment any more,” retorted Teng.-malaysiakini
