Ketua Pemuda PAS, Suhaizan Kaiat berkata usaha
untuk mendamaikan anak buahnya di Pulau Pinang dengan sayap pemuda PKR,
AMK sehingga kini masih belum berjaya.
Bagaimanapun, beliau tetap berharap agar kerjasama itu masih dapat ditunjukkan untuk kempen pilihan raya kecil Permatang Pauh.
Suhaizan berkata, beliau setakat ini sudah berusaha untuk menemukan ketua Pemuda PAS negeri, Mohd Yusni Mat Piah dengan rakan sejawat dari PKR, Khairil Anuar Kamarudin bagi tujuan itu.
"Namun pertemuan itu tidak berjaya kerana Yusni percaya beliau dapat menyelesaikan masalah itu sendiri,” kata Suhaizan kepada Malaysiakini.
Katannya, Pemuda PAS mampu menyediakan ruang bagi sukarelawan Pemuda PAS negeri yang masih berminat untuk membantu kempen bagi calon PKR, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, tambahnya.
“Walaupun Yusni berkata Pemuda PAS Pulau Pinang tidak akan bekerjasama, kami masih sediakan untuk untuk mereka yang masih mahu membantu.
“Mereka yang berminat boleh daftar di pusat operasi di pejabat wakil rakyat Permatang Pasir,” katanya.
Tegasnya, Pemuda PAS akur dengan keputusan jawatankuasa pusat PAS bertarikh 13 April untuk menyokong calon PKR.
Suhaizan berkata demikian bagi menjelaskan mengenai satu gambar yang tersebar di Twitter – menunjukkan beliau beramah mesra dengan Khairil.
Pertemuan itu menimbulkan persoalan kerana Pemuda PAS negeri sudahpun mengumumkan untuk memboikot kempen tersebut dan tidak akan menggerakkan jenteranya.
Pemuda PAS negeri bertindak demikian kerana tidak puas hati dengan AMK Pulau Pinang yang enggan memohon maaf atas “penghinaan” ke atas presiden mereka, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang.
Ia rentetan kepada kecaman Khairil ke atas Hadi, dan gesaan agar ulama PAS itu meletak jawatan kerana timbul desas desus bahawa parti Islam itu bersekongkol dengan Umno.- mk
PAS Youth chief seen chummy with Hadi critic...
While Penang PAS Youth is upset with PKR Youth
over comments against their party chief Abdul Hadi Awang, PAS Youth
chief Suhaizan Kaiat was caught looking chummy with the 'enemy' on Twitter.
When asked to explain the photograph of him and Penang PKR Youth deputy
chief Khairil Anuar Kamarudin looking on the best of terms, Suhaizan
said he was only trying to help mend the worsening relationship between
the two Youth wings.
"I
wanted to be the mediator between the two. Actually (the remark about
Hadi) was just Khairil's personal opinion, so I thought the solution
would be for them to meet," Suhaizan told Malaysiakini today.
Suhaizan's (right) explanation comes after national PKR Youth deputy chief Afif Bahardin posted the photo on Twitter yesterday in the midst of the acrimony.
Cracks between Penang PAS Youth and Penang PKR Youth widened further
after Penang PAS Youth chief Mohd Yusni Mat Piah(above) said they decided to
boycott the Permatang Pauh by-election after Penang PKR Youth failed to
apologise for "insulting" PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.
Yusni said the wing’s operations rooms would be closed and election workers would not be deployed for the by-election.
Khairil is the man in the spotlight as he was the one who had called on
Hadi to resign over talk that PAS was in cahoots with Umno.
Meanwhile, Suhaizan said the initial plan was for him to negotiate with both quarters on the matter.
'PAS Youth backs decision on Wan Azizah'
"But the meeting did not materialise because Yusni believes that he can solve the problem himself," he said.
Suhaizan, who said he had no personal problems with the two men, added that Khairil had agreed to the meeting.
Stressing that PAS Youth conforms to the decision made by the PAS
central committee on April 13 to fully support Pakatan Rakyat's
Permatang Pauh by-election candidate (Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail),
Suhaizan said PAS Youth would still assist in the campaigns.
“Although Yusni said Penang PAS Youth will not cooperate, we still provide space for those who want to help out.
“If there are those who want to assist, they can register themselves at
the operations room at the Permatang Pasir assemblyperson's office,” he
said.
Those interested could refer to PAS by-election operations director
Mujahid Yusof Rawa and Youth operations director Mohd Sany Hamzan,
Suhaizan added. - mk
Penang CM declares May 7 state public holiday...
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has declared May 7, Permatang Pauh polling day, as a state public holiday.
In a press conference in Penang today, Lim said this was decided by the state executive council, and was to ensure the voting process in Permatang Pauh proceeds smoothly.
"We hope employers will take note of this. Even if they do not observe the public holiday, we hope employers, especially in the private sector, will allow their staff to vote."
Lim added he hoped all outstation voters, reportedly numbering at least 6,000 out of the 70,000 voters in Permatang Pauh, would return to participate in the polls.
Failure of outstation voters to return home to vote may adversely impact the outcome of the by-election for Pakatan’s candidate Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, the president of PKR.
She is facing a tight battle against Umno's Suhaimi Sabudin, PRM's Azman Shah Othman and independent Salleh Isahak.
The seat fell vacant when its former MP and PKR defacto leader Anwar Ibrahim failed to obtain a pardon from the Agong.
He has been in Sungai Buloh Prison since Feb 10, serving a five-year jail sentence for a sodomy conviction.- mk

Ketua pemuda PAS negeri Mohd Yusni Mat Piah pula seakan ikut kepalanya sendiri.
Beliau berkata sayap pemuda PKR dan DAP perlu memohon maaf kerana mengkritik presiden PAS Abdul Hadi Awang yang bakal membentang Rang Undang-Undang Hudud.
“Mereka perlu mohon maaf dahulu sebelum meminta kami membantu di dalam pilihanraya kecil ini,” kata Yusni.
Lima tahun lalu, ketua pemuda PAS negeri Mohamad Hafiz Nordin dibuang PAS kerana menyelar DAP.
Sebelum itu ketua penerangan PAS Permatang pauh Jamsari Samad menasihati PKR agar tidak memilih ahli keluarga bekas pemimpin pembangkang Anwar Ibrahim bertanding bagi kerusi Permatang Pauh.
Anwar merupakan pemenang di situ, tetapi kini dipenjara akibat dakwaan menjuburi Mohd Saiful Bukhari.
Jamsari mahu calon yang tiada kaitan dengan Anwar.
Beliau hanya menasihati, katanya.
Orang ramai berpandangan PAS agar tersasar kerana pemimpinnya hanya menumpukan kepada pemilihan parti yang dijadual pada Jun ini. Mereka seakan tidak berminat dengan PRK Permatang Pauh serta Rompin.
Kedua-dua pilihanraya kecil ini diperhati orang ramai dan penulis blog.
Keputusannya bakal memberi impak kepada halatuju negara samada akan berhaluan kanan atau kiri.
Apabila pandangannya diminta, ahli PAS Pusat Dr Mujahid Yusuf Rawa seakan tidak kisah ini semua.
Katanya Jamsari telah menerangkan pendapatnya dan sengaja mencari masalah.
Jamsari mungkin dibawa ke lembaga disiplin kerana dilihat mensabotaj kepentingan PAS.
“Kepimpinan PAS telah membuat keputusan. Kami akan menyokong calon Pakatan Rakyat di Permatang Pauh. Siapapun calonnya, kami sokong.
“PAS setia dengan perjuangan agar PKR mengekalkan kerusi di Permatang Pauh.”
Mujahid berpendapat tindakan Yusni melampau.
Yusni mungkin menyuarakan pandangan peribadi tetapi beliau seharusnya telah taat dan memberikan kerjasama, ujar Mujahid.
Yusni pula gagal dihubungi.
Dalam perkembangan lain, timbalan ketua angkatan muda PKR Khaiurl Anuar Kamaruddin memuji Mujahid kerana berpendirian jelas.
Khairul Anuar menggesa Yusni tidak menaruh dendam kerana perlu menumpukan sepenuh perhatian memastikan kemenangan pada 7 Mei ini. - Ian McIntyre,the antdaily
Saving the nation must come first...
We cannot on carry on singing, “Let the old man shout for all we care”. It’s a mockery to defend Najib and Rosmah with counter arguments like, “He was no angel when he was the PM”.
All the key issues raised by civil society and Opposition political parties have been delivered in his trademark style in the presence of about a thousand citizens who care just as much about the nation.
It can only come from a courageous citizen who is truly passionate about the country and its future.
In any other country that preaches and walks the talk of democratic politics, the implicated candidate would have resigned or stepped aside until justice is done. This has not been the case in Malaysia and it truly puts the country’s well-being in precarious paralysis.
The former prime minister has clearly spelled out several key concerns. Any college student will agree that these are serious concerns and unbecoming of a leader in power.
In today’s climate who would hold five wedding receptions and in such grandiose fashion? It is straight out of fairy tales of kingdoms in bygone eras.
On top of that, Najib and Rosmah used the Prime Minister’s official residence , Seri Perdana, to host one of the four receptions held in Malaysia. We were also told that 300 of the Who’s Who in town flew to Kazakhstan where a three-day wedding celebration was also held.
One wonders, was the official jet also used for the trip?
Tun further took up every rakyat’s cry out: he rightly slammed that the GST must be abolished. If Najib’s administration continues to disregard this warning, come May 1st the rakyat will take to the streets to peacefully register their disagreement.
The mystery of 1MDB’s RM42 billion debt has not only been the clarion whistle from the Opposition block; Tun himself in no uncertain terms said it bluntly: 1MDB is a scam for as long as it is not explained, with acceptable justification.
If the rakyat clamor, they can be shut up by the top policeman of the nation. But now that the former leader of 22 years has expressed the same serious concerns about 1MDB, what should we do? Go out in the streets and carry Najib and Rosmah on our shoulders?
That is what the Umno Youth leader did, thinking foolishly that people will accept the spectacle as the answer to all the doubts.
Umno has again dug itself into a vulnerable gulley.
Although the Tun did not say anything about the Altantuya murder, the very mention of it was enough to get heads nodding and tongues wagging. Perhaps the top cop will now tweet and holler that one must face contempt of court?
Or will Rosmah and Najib be advised to sue Tun and all the people who support Tun’s concerns.
The buck must stop here. We need to think of the nation and not politics. To save the nation first supersedes any political agendas to keep a political party alive or to seize the moment to rise to power.
Tun must harness all right-minded leaders from all sides of the divide; he must galvanise all honourable and ethically anchored institutions and civil society to cleanse this nation of rot, greed, corruption and abuses.
Our priority is not to save Umno or strengthen BN or to pave the way for DAP,PKR and PAS to be the alternative government.
Right now, the fact that Umno-BN has failed to check and balance its chosen leader, all of us must rise to bridge and correct the serious mistakes.
Najib must do the right thing. All his supporters must do the right thing. We have gone too far into the filth of failed leadership. Any further sandiwara will only lead this nation to become the laughing stock in the global eyes.
It is no more an issue of Tun meddling in the governing of Malaysia; it is no more an issue of his track record of sacking others.
It is about cleansing this nation of all the scandals and suspicions as well as bringing justice to reign supreme.
The war on terror in Malaysia is not our immediate concern. The real scoundrels and robber-barons are the enemies we must fight with all our collaborative and patriotic will.
The race card and religious divisiveness are mere distractions. The cancer must be exterminated with one single motivation and that is to save this nation from greed, power-madness, extravagance, and the many scandals ringing the PM and his spouse.
If we fail then all of us including even our esteemed Rulers have to take blame for our inability to save this nation from so much shame and distress brought upon by the present government and its leaders.
All the money in the world – including even if 1MDB brought back the mysterious RM42 billion – cannot save our ‘maruah bangsa and Negara’. - J.D. Lovrenciear,FMT
