UMNO tak payah sibuk,biar PR tentukan sapa MB Selangor...

Tak ada masalah jika MB wanita...

Tidak ada masalah daripada segi undang-undang khususnya Undang-undang Tubuh Negeri (UUT) atau perlembagaan negeri, sekiranya seseorang wanita dilantik ke jawatan Menteri Besar.

Menurut Pakar Perlembagaan, Profesor Dr Abdul Aziz Bari, Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) yang mempunyai sokongan majoriti boleh dipilih sebagai MB tanpa mengambil kira jantinanya.

“Yang penting sesiapa yang ditunjuk sebagai calon MB mesti ada sokongan majoriti dalam dewan.

“Budibicara sultan- sama ada Agong atau Tuan Yang Terutama – hanya relevan sekiranya ada keraguan tentang siapa yang sebenarnya ada sokongan atau mejoriti.

“Cara paling mudah, majoriti ADUN buat surat nyatakan sokongan kepada orang yang mereka mahu jadi MB,” katanya kepada keadilandaily.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika mengulas kenyataan penasihat undang-undang Umno, Datuk Mohd Hafarizam Harun bahawa Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Ismail tidak sesuai menjadi menteri besar Selangor kerana wanita mengalami uzur syarie (haid).

Kenyataan disiarkan akhbar News Straits Times (NST) itu mencetuskan kemarahan pelbagai pihak dan disifatkan sebagai usaha merendah-rendahkan martabat wanita.

“Soal jantina tak disebut oleh perlembagaan, yang penting orang itu mesti ada sokongan majoriti dan dia mesti Melayu dan Islam. Ini sahaja yang disebut oleh UUT Negeri, sama dengan lapan negeri Melayu yang lain. MB mesti Melayu dan Islam serta ada sokongan majoriti,” katanya.

Menurut Aziz, kenyataan Hafarizam itu menunjukkan kedangkalannya, malah parti itu sendiri pernah mengusulkan supaya pemimpin veteran wanita Umno di Negeri Sembilan, Datuk Napsiah Omar dipilih sebagai MB.

“Wanita boleh jadi MB dan undang-undang jelas tidak menghalang. Satu ketika dulu Datuk Napsiah Omar pernah disebut nak jadi MB Negeri Sembilan. ‘Loyar’ Umno ini mimpi dan tak ikut perkembangan politik agaknya,” ujarnya.- keadilandaily

Let Pakatan Rakyat decide Selangor MB post,not UMNO...

Unlike Umno lawyer Datuk Hafarizam Harun, Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin believes that women can be a menteri besar or even prime minister.

Despite that enlightened view, he firmly said today that PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail is unsuitable for the top post in Selangor.

But why should he or for that matter any Umno politician have any say on who is the Selangor MB? Umno was soundly rejected by the electorate in Selangor.

Correction... an Umno team led by Datuk Seri Najib Razak was tossed into oblivion by the Selangor electorate in 2013.

So the best option for Khairy and his colleagues from the party of the corrupt is to keep calm and rebuild their own party for the next general election.

Can they rebuild their party into an image that will be accepted by most Malaysians?

The signs are not encouraging. The party is led by a listless president and assisted by party officials that fall into these categories. A) corrupt B) corrupt and unintelligent c) corrupt, unintelligent and sexist.

That Umno politicians are falling over themselves to keep Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim in office is the most compelling reason why perhaps he needs to go.

The shrill attention to who could and should possibly replace Khalid if Pakatan Rakyat decided to sack him just reflects Umno's impotence in winning back Selangor.

It does not help that the Umno lawyer decided to be misogynistic about who can replace Khalid. And the Umno Youth chief decides that Wan Azizah is unfit for the job.

They should remember that they can have their say if and when Umno wins back Selangor. Until then, best leave it to Pakatan Rakyat to sort out their own waffling leadership mess. –
