PRU-13 - Dari 6.58 juta pengundi Melayu, lebih kurang 3 juta saja yang sokong UMNO...

Calon UMNO hanya memperoleh sekitar 3 juta daripada 6.58 juta undi orang Melayu malahan secara keseluruhannya Pakatan Rakyat (PR) mendapat jumlah undi lebih banyak berbanding BN pada Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13, 5 Mei lalu.

Ahli Parlimen Raub, Datuk Mohd Ariff Sabri menyifatkan prestasi UMNO sebenarnya menurun berbanding PRU ke-12 lalu.

Katanya, PR memperolehi undi majoriti iaitu lebih 50 peratus sedangkan BN hanya memperoleh undian minoriti sekitar 47 peratus untuk menduduki Putrajaya.

Pada masa yang sama beliau menempelak sikap UMNO dan media kawalan mereka yang terus membuat pelbagai dakwaan perkauman yang berbahaya kepada perpaduan rakyat Malaysia.

“UMNO dan Najib menyalahkan kaum lain kerana kelemahan sendiri. Bukan orang Cina sahaja yang menolak UMNO bahkan lebih ramai Melayu menolak UMNO dari menyokongnya.


“UMNO main isu perkauman sedangkan Najib cakap besar mengenai 1Malaysia. Najib adalah hipokrit yang terulung di Malaysia,” katanya dalam kenyataan.

Jelasnya, penolakan terhadap UMNO dan BN sangat jelas terutamanya di kawasan bandar kerana mayarakat di kawasan itu terdedah dengan pelbagai sumber maklumat dan merasai sendiri keperitan hidup sebenar berbanding kawasan luar Bandar.

“Dalam kawasan ini, rakyat berfikir dan berkerja, berfikir dan berkarya, mencapai dan menjayakan diri, membangun dan membesar. 

Dalam kawasan inilah idealisme dan wawasan mengenai masa hadapan Malaysia dibentuk dan dijana,” ujar beliau.-Roketkini.com


'Redelineation looms, Chinese may be corralled'...

The next redelineation exercise by the Election Commission (EC) - expected later this year - could involve redrawing the borders to group Chinese voters in a single constituency, in order to minimise the effect of the purported “Chinese tsunami".

NONEUniversiti Malaya Centre for Democracy and Elections (Umcedel) director Prof Mohd Redzuan Othman (left) predicts this based on statements by BN leaders in reacting to the consecutive loss of the two-thirds majority in Parliament.

"(In the last) exercise, they realised that there are Malays voting for the opposition. So what they did was (to redraw the) lines to create more mixed seats, and that worked for them,” he said at a forum yesterday that discussed a preliminary analysis of the 13th general election results.

"As such, this time around, they might redraw the lines to pull all Chinese voters into one area so that they can concentrate on the other seats and areas.”

Redzuan also said that Pakatan Rakyat's convincing win in Selangor should largely be attributed to the leadership qualities and popularity of Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim himself.

"Khalid enjoyed a very high popularity among Selangorians when we did a study on him in 2012. What we realised is that, as far as Pakatan states are concerned, the perception and performance of the MB is very important," he said.

Similarly, Redzuan said, then Kelantan MB Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat (right) had enjoyed strong approval ratings averaging above 70 percent from the people prior to the election.

Redzuan and Umcedel have been criticised by some academicians prior to the 13th general election on May 5, for suggesting that Anwar Ibrahim's popularity was higher than that of BN head Najib Abdul Razak.

However, Redzuan pointed out that the election results proved that the findings of his team's study were pretty much on the mark.

"You have an almost six percent difference in terms of the popular vote, which means we got it pretty much right," he noted.

NONEHe was speaking to some 200 people at the forum in Kajang. The other speakers were Serdang MP Ong Kian Ming, Parit Buntar MP Mujahid Yusof Rawa and Batu Pahat MP Idris Jauzi, all from Pakatan parties.

Mujahid conceded that the bad perception of the performance of the Kedah government, as well as disputes between PAS and PKR over certain seats, had contributed to parliamentary losses.

PAS won 21 parliamentary seats this time around, two less than what it won in 2008.-malaysiakini
