Fahamkah Najib maksud sebenar ungkapan popular Anwar itu...
Rasanya sudah lebih dari sekali Najib Razak mengungkapkan perkataan "lawan tetap lawan" dalam ucapannya yang bertujuan untuk menggambarkan beliau tidak akan berundur atau mengalah di sebalik cabaran bertali arus menghimpitnya.
Semalam sekali lagi beliau melafazkan ungkapan yang pernah dipopularkan oleh Anwar Ibrahim itu untuk ditujukan khusus kepada Tun Mahathir Mohamad yang kini berusia 92 tahun. "Lawan tetap lawan, saya tidak takut kepada sesiapa, saya hanya takut kepada Allah sahaja.
"Saya tidak takut kepada orang yang khianati UMNO selepas jadi pemimpin selama 22 tahun. Patutkah saya takut kepada orang yang berusia 92 tahun," kata Najib lagi.
Gelihati pun ada bila Najib kerap menyebut "lawan tetap lawan" itu sejak kebelakangan ini, apatah lagi bila ia ditujukan khusus kepada Tun Mahathir.
Apakah beliau benar-benar faham maksud ungkapan yang dilafazkannya itu? Adakah beliau melafazkannya setelah menatap cermin untuk melihat wajah dirinya yang sebenar selama ini atau sekadar untuk membuatkan para penyokongnya bertepuk tangan semata-mata?
Jika Najib memiliki "cermin besar" untuk melihat secara jujur ke dalam dirinya dan mengimbas kembali beberapa ketakutannya selama ini, sama ada untuk berdebat dengan Tun Mahathir atau menyaman WSJ dan Muhyiddin Yassin, beliau seharusnya malu untuk mengungkapkan kata-kata itu.
Dibandingkan dengan keberanian dan hati waja Anwar Ibrahim yang selalu mengungkapkan kata-kata itu seiring dengan tindakan yang dizahirkannya, satu peratus pun Najib tidak mempunyai persamaan dengannya.
Najib secara azalinya sejak terkecimpung dalam politik berikutan kematian Tun Razak secara mengejut pada 1976, tidak dengan menebas lalang dan semak samun untuk jalan yang dilaluinya. Laluannya sentiasa tersedia kerana dirinya berbinkan Tun Razak.
Beliau tidak pernah bertanding untuk mana-mana jawatan dalam UMNO yang memerlukan seorang pemenang. Pengalamannya berlawan hanyalah bagi jawatan Naib Presiden UMNO yang memperuntukkan tiga kerusi untuk diisi.
Kemudian, laluannya untuk jawatan Timbalan Presiden UMNO dan Presiden UMNO juga diperolehi bukan melalui pertandingan. Oleh itu, Najib tidak kenal erti berlawan dalam ertikata yang sebenar.
Mengungkapkan kata-kata "lawan tetap lawan", tetapi yang terzahir adalah ketakutan berbanding keberanian, hanya akan membuatkan banyak senyuman sinis dilemparkan terhadapnya.
Jika Najib bukan berbinkan Tun Razak dan berkecimpung dalam politik bermula dengan menebas lalang dan semak samun daripada peringkat cawangan seperti kebanyakan pemimpin yang lain, barangkali beliau bukanlah sesiapa pun pada hari ini.
Bukan saja tidak berani berdebat dengan Tun Mahathir dan tiada kekuatan untuk menyaman WSJ atau Muhyiddin Yassin, Najib juga gemar menyingkirkan pengkritik dan penentang-penentangnya dalam UMNO sebelum gelanggang pertandingan dibuka.
Lebih dari itu, Gani Patail sebagai Peguam Negara juga ditukarkan secara mengejut, manakala SPRM dan Bank Negara dikacau ganggu ketika Abu Kassim dan dan Dr Zeti Akhtar mengetuainya yang kemudian menyaksikan kedua-dua mereka hilang kedudukannya.
Anwar yang sedang berada dalam penjara pun barangkali turut geli hati apabila ungkapan popularnya itu yang kini kerap dipinjam oleh Najib.
Sebelum PRU 13 dulu, Anwar juga pernah mencabar Najib berdebat dengannya, tetapi jawapan yang diberi ialah "debat bukan budaya kita." Jika Najib benar-benar ingin berlawan bak ungkapan "lawan tetap lawan" dalam menghadapi musuh-musuh politiknya, tidak memadai dengan sekadar berkata-kata saja.
Kata-kata mesti diiringi dengan tindakan yang sama atau lafaz kata seharusnya senada dengan tindakan yang dilakukan. Banyak lagi yang perlu dipelajarinya daripada Anwar yang kini berada dalam penjara.
Berdasarkan rekod dan ketidakberanian berlawan sebelum ini, Najib lebih menghina dirinya sendiri apabila meminjam ungkapan kata Anwar itu.- shabudin husin
TMJ scoffs at '1Malaysia', moots 'Bangsa Johor' schools...
Johor crown prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim has criticised Putrajaya's "1Malaysia" slogan, questioning whether it really promotes unity as claimed.
"I hope in the near future... the Johor government will introduce an education module for Johoreans. We'll make Bangsa Johor.
"Malaysia has it too - 1Malaysia. But answer me, where is 1Malaysia?
"You have Indian schools, you have Chinese schools, you have Malay schools. From young, you tell them not to be united.
"Then when they grow up, you tell them to be united?" he said in a dialogue session which was later uploaded on the Johor Southern Tigers Facebook page.
Tunku Ismail said he envisioned a different direction for Johor's education system.
"In future, there will not be Indian, Chinese or Malay schools in Johor... There will only be Bangsa Johor schools.
"From a young age, we'll teach them how to be united, how to respect each other's religion and how to respect to respect other races," he said.
However, he said religious schools would be retained for the purposes of the religion.
"You need to educate young Johoreans. They must know Johor's history. They must know the strengths of Johor and why the federal government needs us," he said.
Tunku Ismail went on to suggest that Johor should emulate the assertiveness of Sarawak.
"Look at Sarawak, Sarawak is smart, Sarawak is united. That is why when Sarawak rants something, the (federal) government has to listen.
"If there is no Sarawak, they would be gone. If there is no Johor, they would also be gone.
"This is the important part, when you (Johoreans) are united, the Johor government has more power and can speak up. It can do anything and they (the federal government) is forced to listen because they need our support," he said. - mk

Hold the directors responsible...
The photograph of Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin handing over a thumb drive at the headquarters of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission appeared in almost all newspapers on Saturday.
More than a year ago, its then Strategic Communications director Datuk Rohaizad Yaakob met an "opposition delegation" under the same circumstances. He was immediately transferred to the PM's Department. (The order was subsequently rescinded following threats by the MACC that they would file charges for "obstructing an officer in the course of carrying out his duties".)
For the record both parties came to the MACC with something important – documents purportedly containing information related to corruption or corrupt practices.
Irrespective of your status, the MACC receives and analyses information or complaints it receives. Most of the time, it is mere hearsay without substantiation but nevertheless, the complainant is informed of the outcome. That is why many Malaysians are clamouring to ask if there is some sort of hierarchy when it comes to investigating, arresting and prosecuting alleged wrongdoers.
In March last year, theSun and an Australian newspaper, The Age, jointly broke the story of how Mara Incorporated Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mara Holdings overpaid for two buildings and millions of ringgit in kickbacks were pocketed by certain officials.
The documents that had been gathered in the course of our investigations were handed to the MACC. A copy was also given to Mara's integrity head, an officer seconded from MACC. There was solid evidence – details of purchases and payments; company accounts; details of the Virgin Islands-based companies used in the transactions; the names and identities of those involved and even the numbers of bank accounts through which the ill-gotten gains were laundered.
In March this year, amid the glare of TV cameras and flashlights, two titled directors were detained for questioning. To date, the silence has been deafening. In the meantime Mara Inc stands to lose RM88 million after putting up the buildings for sale.
Why the re-cap, one may ask. Last week, half a dozen Bank Rakyat officials including the chairman and the managing director were detained – once again and their remand orders were extended. Well done. The arrests of these people in high places may look good in the eyes of the public, but what follows after this whole epic drama? Is someone going to be charged, or like the Mara Inc case, stamped NFA (No Further Action) and filed in a steel cabinet for posterity?
The role, duties and obligations of directors are listed in the Companies Act; notable among them is that they are to "act as ordinary men of business". Continue reading here...
What happens with "CULTURAL IGNORANCE' when reporting the news locally.I feel sad for such ignorant reporting aimed solely at 'sensationalism' by 'Malay' press, which demonizes the very creature that SAVED the child.-w.i.w.c
Semasa meneliti keratan akhbar dan kenyataan menteri terbaca berita ini yang dilapurkan pada 2015 yang lepas. Kini DOJ membongkar sebaliknya. Wang dalam akaun Najib BUKAN dari penderma Arab. Sudah sampai waktunya SPRM tampil mendedahkan siapa pegawai SPRM yang berjumpa, dimana, serta gambar perjumpaan untuk menepis dakwaan DOJ...f/bk
