Najib lebih teruk dari Pak Lah...

Menyorot keputusan pilhanraya Umum 2008 lalu, sejurus tamat PRU-12, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin yang ketika itu merupakan Naib Presiden Umno membuat kejutan apabila mengkritik kegagalan Presiden Umno, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi sehingga menyebabkan beberapa negeri jatuh ke tangan pembangkang.

Kritikan Muhyiddin juga ekoran dari keputusan PRU 12 yang mencatatkan BN mencatatkan hanya memenangi 140 kerusi parlimen dan 307 kerusi Dun.

Refleksi dari kritikan Muhyiddin, beliau dianggap hero kerana berani mengkritik presiden parti sehingga membawa kepada pengunduran Abdullah.Manakala habuan yang lebih besar ialah beliau di lantik menjadi Timbalan Presiden Umno sekali gus menjadi Timbalam Perdana Menteri.

Ramai antara penganalisa politik sedang menunggu apakah reaksi beliau berhubung keputusan PRU 13 yang baru berakhir.

Apakah Muyiddin akan menyusuli kritikan beliau terhadap Najib ekoran prestasi yang di cacatkan ketika Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak menjadi Pengerusi BN memperoleh keputusanlebih daif dari era Abdullah.

PRU 13 yang berakhir lalu BN memperoleh 133 kerusi parlimen iaitu kurang tujuh kerusi dari zaman Pak Lah (Abdullah) iaitu 140 kerusi.

Begitu juga keseluruhan kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (Dun) yang merosot dari 307 kepada 275 kerusi iaitu susut 32 kerusi.

Lebih malang bagi Najib yang juga Pengerusi Perhubungan Umno Selangor apabila negeri Jugra tersebut PR memenangi 44 kerusi Dun berbanding 36 kerusi ketika Pak Lah menjadi pengerusi BN.

Angka tersebut menunjukkan pertambahan 10 kerusi PR selangor sekali gus membolehkan PR Selangor memperoleh lebih dua pertiga (37 kerusi) majoriti di dalam Dewan Undangan Negeri.

Manakala BN hanya memperoleh 12 kerusi berbanding 20 kerusi pada 2008.

Ke mana Peruntukan RM2.71 bilion Kepada Umno Selangor

Bagi rakyat Selangor setentunya tertanya-tanya ke poket siapakah wang peruntukan yang di berikan Najib kepada Umno negeri berjumlah RM2.71 bilion pada November 2011 untuk menawan Selangor itu pergi.

Kenyataan Pengerusi PR Selangor Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim hari ini menggesa Najib meletak jawatan sebagai Pengerusi Perhubungan Umno Selangor amat relevan dengan prestasi yang di tunjukkan Najib di Selangor.

Sabotaj Syabas berhubung kegagalan penyediakan air terawat ketika tempoh berkempen baru-baru ini juga tidak mengena. Ini disebabkan keberkesanan sumber maklumat dari PR Selangor berhubung realiti sebenar krisis Air di negeri tersebut kepada rakyat.

Lebih malang lagi berikutan kekalahan Timbalan pengarah pilihanraya dan kordinator BN Selangor, Datuk Seri Mohd Zin Mohamad tewas kepada pengerusi Lajnah Guaman Pas Pusat, Mohamad Hanipa Maidin di Parlimen Sepang.

PRU 13: 5.6 juta undi PR, BN cuma 5.3 juta

Media arus perdana cuba sedaya upaya untuk melindungi hakikat sebenar berdasarkan jumlah pengundi yang memberi undi kepada PR dan BN semasa PRU 13 lalu.

Berdasarkan analisa menunjukkan lebih 5.6 juta pengundi memberi undi kepada PR berbanding 5.3 juta kepada BN.

Namun berdasarkan kawasan yang di persempadankan, BN memperoleh majoriti mudah 133 kerusi parlimen. Setentunya juga sumbangan besar undi tersebut dari kawasan-kawasan parlimen di pedalaman Sarawak dan Sabah.

Ini juga menjadi hujah mengapa BN enggan memajukan sistem perhubungan dan pembangunan di pedalaman Sabah dan Sarawak. BN lebih rela membiarkan rakyat di pedalaman Sabah dan Sarawak untuk hidup terus miskin kerana sogokan kebendaan ketika masa kempen akan membolehkan kuasa BN diteruskan.

Mat Bangla dan Goncang dakwat

Isu pengundi hantu yang kebanyakan membabitkan mat Bangla juga tidak harus di pinggirkan kerana sebahagian besar kemenangan BN adalah di kawasan yang pengundinya kecil.

Berpuluh gambaran yang dimuat turun di laman maya menunjukkan isu tersebut bukanlah suatu polimik remeh yang enteng.

Barisan Guaman PR sedang mengumpul pelbagai bukti untuk membawa kes ini di pengadilan. Menurut R.Sivarasa yang juga MP Subang, semua yang terlibat termasuk Menteri Dalam Negeri dan SPR boleh di dakwa berhubung tragedi pengkhianatan ini.

Begitu juga isu dakwat kekal yang tidak kekal yang turut di buktikan sebagaimana tersiar di laman maya tersebut.

Persoalan mengapa undi awal yang jatuh pada 30 April lau mengambil masa sehingga lima hari. Tempoh lima hari tersebut akan menyebabkan dakwat tersebut tidak lagi kelihatan. Walhal SPR memaklumkan dahwat tersebut kekal dalam tempoh tujuh hari.

Maka tidak mustahil pihak anggota keselamatan dan mereka yang terlibat boleh mengundi buat kali kedua ketika hari membuang undi.

Apa pun keputusan PRU13 telah berakhir namun ketelusan SPR terus dipertikai. Rakyat juga memahami Umno-BN sanggup memperkuda apa sahaja untuk pastikan kemenangan. Apatah lagi SPR berada di bawah Jabatan Perdana Menteri.

Seorang kawan memberi tahu … terimalah hakikat bahawa rakyat Malaysia redha untuk membayar tol dan tak mau harga petrol di turunkan…. Anak-anak muda serta ibu bapa mereka juga berkemampuan untuk membayar pijaman PTPTN setiap bulan… tunggulah masanya akan tiba sebagai mana buah yang masak akan gugur dengan sendirinya.-selangorku

Tapah PKR candidate: Cops pushed me out of counting hall...

Exercising his constitutional right to justice at the Tapah vote counting centre proved to be disastrous for PKR parliamentary candidate K Vasantha Kumar.

He was pushed out of the Tapah constituency counting centre, the Dewan Merdeka in the town, by members of the police Light Strike Force at 11pm on Sunday.

Vasantha Kumar said eight policemen pushed him out after he queried Election Commission (EC) officers on what he calimed were irregularities as there were mixed votes in ballot boxes and missing ballot boxes. The missing boxes had not arrived at the counting centre as at 11pm.

The postal votes had allegedly been combined with the parliamentary and state constituency ballot papers in the mixed ballot boxes.

“I requested a recount because the parliamentary and state ballot papers were mixed up in one parliament ballot box. Further, there were ballot papers placed outside the box.

“I made the request also because four boxes from Chenderiang and five boxes from Ayer Kuning were not in the counting hall at the Dewan Merdaka. Following the request, EC officers brought in two boxes from Ayer Kuning. The other seven boxes had still not arrived.

“At the same time, I requested the 91 Form 14s from the 91 polling centres and an EC officerl refused, Vasantha Kumar told Malaysiakini. “Some of the Form 14s were not properly signed and endorsed by the EC officers.

 “It was at this point that Barisan Nasional’s candidate, M Saravanan, came into the centre and raised his voice and ‘threatened’ me.

“I told him to not interfere as this was a dispute between me and the EC. The dispute was over the ballot papers from the state seats of Chenderiang and Ayer Kuning. 

“At that point the results for the Perak state seats were 29 for BN and 28 for Pakatan. I insisted on the recount because the results from these two seats would be the deciding factor in the formation of the next Perak government.

“When I insisted that these documents be produced before the announcement of the results, the returning officer instructed the olice to push my polling agents and me out of the hall.”

At this juncture, Vasantha Kumar said, “Saravanan threw a chair at me while I was being pushed out.”

“I was shocked when the police manhandled me, pushing me 50m out of the centre, while Saravanan and his assistant tried to attack me. However, the police stopped them.”

Vasantha Kumar claimed that he and his counting agents were pushed out by the police all the way to the main road outside the hall.

‘No representative to monitor ballot boxes’

“The policemen then barricaded the counting hall and did not allow me to go in. At that time I had no representative inside in the hall to esnure that the ballot boxes were not tampered with.”

He alleged that during this time, Saravanan and the two BN candidates for the two state seats (Chenderiang and Ayer Kuning) were allowed to be inside the hall as the results were being finalised.

Vasantha Kumar said the EC officers directed the policemen to keep him outside the hall for about an hour.

“After an hour I demanded that as the official candidate for Tapah, I should be allowed into the hall.”

Upon his re-entry into the hall, Vasantha Kumar walked straight to the returning officer and requested the verification of the 91 Form 14s from all the 91 polling centres and a recount of the ballot papers.

“The returning officer declined my request. He told me to take any dispute on the matter to the courts.

“I disagreed with the results they were about to announce as the Form 14s were not furnished and there was no proper recount of the postal votes and ballot papers. Shortly afterward, about 1am, the results were announced - that BN’s Saravanan and its two state assembly candidates had won.”

These two state assembly results clinched BN’s victory in the Perak state assembly, with 31 seats over Pakatan’s 28.

Vasantha Kumar lodged a report at the Tapah police station at 1.30am yesterday.

He said that he was willing to appear before any tribunal and provide his evidence, with video recordings and pictures of the high-handed actions on the part of the authorities.

When contacted and asked about the presence of police in the counting hall, returning officer Razali Bakar said he could not make any statement without referring to the higher authorities.-malaysiakini

Disturbing questions surrounding GE13 polling...

The GE13 results are in. BN won with a majority of 44 seats. If the results in 23 of those seats had been different, we would see a change of government. This result is the worst performance for BN in Malaysia's history.

For the first time, the incumbent government has lost the popular vote nationally (in 2008, it was only in the peninsula). The BN coalition has still managed to hold on to power. 

This piece, in a series analysing the election results, looks at the concerns raised regarding the electoral process and the potential impact these issues may have had on the final results.

In analysing the fairness of any polls, one asks whether the irregularities in the process could have affected the final outcome. Were the problems enough to change which coalition would have formed government? 

These issues will be debated and assessed in the days and weeks ahead. Let me share some preliminary observations that suggest that in this election, some things appear not to be quite right.

Integrity of electoral roll

This was the longest wait for an election, and both sides were extremely active in registering new voters, especially in the urban areas where the party machinery was well honed.

Even factoring in the more robust voter registration efforts, changes in electoral procedures to register people where they live rather than where they are from, population demographics, and possible housing developments in different seats, the increased numbers in the electoral roll are significantly not in line with historical patterns of voter registration. This out-of-line pattern is in every state, except Negri Sembilan.

The figure that stands out in voter increase occurred from 2004 to 2008 in Sabah. The questions about the electoral roll in Sabah have been long standing, and are the subject of the ongoing royal commission of inquiry into immigrants.

These increases from 2004 through 2008 are by any measure - huge - in places such as Liburan, where caretaker Chief Minister Musa Aman's state seat is located, in Semporna, the seat of Shafie Apdal and in Ranau currently held by Ewok Ebin. 

We also find that new voters have flooded states like Selangor, Pahang, Terengganu and Johor in GE13. The average increase in voters nationally between 2004 and 2008 was 8.2%. In the run-up to GE13, the voters registered doubled to 19.4%. The national and statewide averages however obscure the differences among different seats within states. It is clear that some seats have been special recipients of new voters.

Much has been made of the 28% of new voters in Lembah Pantai. This seat is actually on the low side compared to others. Consider the whopping 61.5% increase in Tapah, recently re-won by BN, or Subang with 52% new voters, won by Pakatan with a larger majority this election but shaped heavily by Pakatan's registration of new voters.
