Anwar Ibrahim berkata, Pakatan Rakyat tidak akan membenarkan isu persempadanan semula kawasan pilihan raya dibahaskan di Parlimen jika ia tidak dilakukan dengan telus dan adil.
"Saya beri amaran kepada kerajaan dan Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR), Pakatan tidak akan membenarkan amalan korup, penipuan SPR ini dibentangkan dan perbahasan berhubung persempadanan semula.
Katanya, keputusan itu disimpulkannya setelah berbincang dengan pengerusi bersama BERSIH Datuk S Ambiga dan Datuk A Samad Said.
Anwar memberikan amaran itu di New York pada Ahad ketika menjawab soalan semasa sesi soal jawab bersama kira-kira 100 peserta, kebanyakannya rakyat Malaysia yang menuntut dan bekerja di Amerika Syarikat.
"Jika mereka teruskan (dengan persempadanan semula), akan ada masalah. Saya boleh janjikan pada anda, di dalam dan di luar Parlimen, kita akan jadikannya isu besar, kita tidak akan mengalah," tegasnya.
Proses persempadanan semula dijangka bermula pada penghujung tahun ini. Ia dilihat bakal memberi kesan besar terhadap keputusan pilihan raya umum akan datang.
Anwar juga mendakwa bahawa Pakatan hanya mendapat 10 peratus daripada 700,000 undi awal yang dibuang lima hari sebelum hari mengundi.
"Jika mereka teruskan (dengan persempadanan semula), akan ada masalah. Saya boleh janjikan pada anda, di dalam dan di luar Parlimen, kita akan jadikannya isu besar, kita tidak akan mengalah," tegasnya.
"Tahukah, bahawa kertas2 undi, undi awal itu telah disimpan dalam tahanan polis selama lima hari, di mana berlakunya proses 'osmosis'. Tiada siapa yang berfikiran waras,akan bersetuju bahawa 90 peratus undi tersebut dimenangi oleh BN.
Anwar menegaskan bahawa beliau tidak menggalakkan murtad tetapi tidak ada paksaan dalam Islam.Kontroversi ini mungkin memberi peluang kepada media pro-BN untuk merendahkan martabatnya.
"Saya akan bertemu dengan Pope Francis (di Rome minggu depan)...saya fikir TV3 akan berkata 'lihat, Anwar dah ghaib. Beliau kini menjadi separuh Kristian'," katanya secara berseloroh.
Lawatan Anwar selama tiga hari ke Amerika Syarikat bertepatan dengan lawatan kerja Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak ke negara tersebut.
Konsulat Besar Malaysia di New York telah menjemput pelajar2 Malaysia untuk majlis makan malam dengan Najib pada hari Ahad ini.
Sambil mendakwa bahawa pegawai-pegawai Kedutaan Malaysia sebelum ini telah cuba untuk menghalang pelajar2 Malaysia di luar negara daripada bertemu dengan pemimpin2 pembangkang, Anwar bagaimanapun menggalakkan pelajar2 untuk menghadiri acara Najib.
"Apabila Perdana Menteri datang, anda perlu menghadirinya, dan menikmati makanan yang dihidangkan," katanya, dengan ketawa daripada para hadirin.- malaysiakini
Anwar's 're-delineation' warning in New York...
Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim has warned the BN government that Pakatan Rakyat will not allow the re-delineation of constituencies to be debated in Parliament unless it is done with transparency and fairness.
"I'm warning the government and the Election Commission (EC), Pakatan will not allow this present corrupt, fraudulent EC to table the matter and debate on the delineation.
"I'm giving ample warning to the government and the EC. I have discussed with (Bersih 2.0 co-chairpersons) S Ambiga and Pak Samad Said. I said 'look, we to draw the line, like (US president Barrack) Obama's red line, we will not allow this debate'."
This warning was issued by Anwar in New York on Sunday when responding to questions during a dialogue with some 100 people mostly Malaysians studying and working in the US.
"If they proceed (with the delineation), there would be problems. I can promise you, in Parliament and outside Parliament, we will make it a major issue, we will not concede," he stressed.
The redelineation exercise is expected to begin by end of this year. It would have huge repercussions on the result of the next general election.
The opposition coalition won 52 percent of the popular votes during the last general election in May but failed to capture federal power due to gerrymandering,
However, the PKR de facto leader did not elaborate on the plan to block the redelineation from being tabled in Parliament.
To convince the attendees that electoral fraud was prevalent in the last general polls, he quoted earlier statements by EC chief Abdul Aziz Yusof that there were 60,000 dubious votes in Sabah’s electoral roll, and another 40,000 names in the national electoral roll which need to be verified.
'He is now half Christian'
Wearing a pair of dark glasses due to an eye infection, Anwar also claimed that Pakatan only garnered 10 percent of the 700,000 early ballots cast five days before the polling day.
"You know what, because the votes were kept in police custody for five days, with 'osmosis' in the process. Nobody in their right mind, come on, would agree that 90 percent (of votes would go to BN). (Late Iraq dictator) Saddam Hussein only would get 90 over percent," he said, drawing laughter from the floor.
Anwar claimed that the electoral irregularities had caught the attention of other countries, and he had been invited to Indonesia by the republic's president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to explain the issue.
"He said he is shocked because in Indonesia, in 1998 was reformasi, in 1999 they had free and fair election," he said.
During the question-and-answer session, an attendee asked Anwar to state his stand on conversion out of Islam.
Reminding that the contentious issue might give chance for pro-BN media to demonise him, Anwar stressed that he did not encourage apostasy but there should be no compulsion in Islam.
"Now I'm going to see Pope Francis (in Rome next week)... I think TV3 will say 'look, Anwar is gone. He is now half Christian'," he said in jest.
Anwar's three-day trip to the US coincided with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's working trip to the nation.
Malaysian consulate-general in New York had invited Malaysian students to a dinner with Najib on the coming Sunday.
Alleging that Malaysian embassy officials had previously attempted to stop Malaysian students overseas from meeting opposition leaders, Anwar however encouraged the audience to attend Najib's event.
"When the prime minister comes, you should attend, and enjoy the food," he said, prompting another round of laughter. - malaysiakini
