Sejarah politik Zahid Hamidi...


Maybe ramai yg masih tak tahu sejarah Politik Zahid_Hamidi ni termasuk org2 UMNO sendiri.. Sejarah politik Zahid yang penuh dengan sifat bermuka-muka. Pendirian dan perjuangan dalam dirinya hanya umpama menanam tebu di bibir.  Sejarah politik Zahid bermula lebih kurang tahun 1982 bila dia dibawa masuk sebagai AJK (Lantikan) Pergerakan Pemuda UMNO Bahagian Bagan Datoh oleh Ketua Pemuda Bahagian. Ketua Pemuda Bahagian semasa itu adalah Hj Mohamad Khairi Yahya. X pasti beliau masih hidup atau sudah tiada.

Zahid dibawa masuk 'lebih dalam' oleh sepupunya Azhari Mokhtar yg memberi laluan menjadi Ketua Pemuda Cawangan. Zahid dilihat mempunyai potensi dan masa depan politik yang baik sebagai seorang keluaran Universiti. Dia melobi Mat Khairi mengambil Zahid ke dalam AJK Pemuda Bahagian Mat Khairi sudah menghampiri umur 40 tahun dan sudah merancang peralihan kuasa kepada Zahid. Untuk pemilihan diakhir tahun 1982 itu, dia mencadangkan Zahid tandingi jawatan Naib Ketua Pemuda UMNO Bahagian bagi memudahkan peralihan kuasa kepadanya beberapa tahun lagi.

Tapi entah apa yang x kena, Zahid menjatuhkan Mat Khairi. Dari situ, Zahid mula dapat lebih banyak perkenalan dengan orang-orang penting politik. Dengan meletakkan dirinya sebagai "orang Anwar", kerjaya politiknya berjaya meningkat hingga menjadi ahli Exco Pemuda Pusat. FYI, politik Zahid penuh dengan peristiwa-peristiwa dan tingkah laku yang tidak menunjukkan kesetiakawanan dalam berpolitik. Banyak rakan politik yang ditikam dari belakang apabila timbul peluang. Ramai disailangnya jika ada terbuka ruang.

Zahid tidak malu mengutuk pihak2 yg pernah membantunya. Lupakah korang ketika Rahim Tamby Chik menghadapi tuduhan salahlaku seks dgn budak bawah umur, Zahid meletakkan tekanan memaksanya berundur dari Ketua Pemuda. Pemangku Ketua Pemuda diganti Nazri, Zahid naik pemangku Naib Sehabisnya tempoh, Zahid bertanding Ketua Pemuda & menang dalam satu pertandingan empat penjuru. Semasa dapat menyandang jawatan itu, begitu menjunjung tinggi dia memuji Tun M. Dia pernah menyebut, "Aku sayang orang tua itu."

Apabila berlaku reformasi akibat pemecatan Anwar Ibrahim, Zahid berpihak kepada Anwar dan membelakangkan Tun M. MENGAPA?? Org2 lama UMNO cakap sebab Tun M mendedahkan Zahid didapati mendapat projek pengswastaan dan pegang saham Kretam bawah namanya yg boleh membawa hukuman penjara Terdedahlah salah laku dalam saham kerana ia dipunyai oleh Yayasan Gerak Bakti. Zahid adalah salah seorang ahli Lembaga Amanah. Rupanya dia telah menyalurkan saham yang diperuntukkan MITI kepada Yayasan Gerakbakti kepada sebuah syarikat kepunyaannya suami isteri.



Di era Reformasi, Zahid bersuara lantang dan tidak teragak agak menghina semua pemimpin yg pernah membantunya dalam UMNO. malah dilihat hebat dikalangan reformis ketika itu.. Perkarangan rumahnya di Bangi menjadi tempat berkumpulnya reformis2 sekitar Kajang, Serdang, Puchong, etc. Sumpah keramat Zahid dihadapan reformis ketika itu umpama peluru.. Aku salah seorang yg berada di situ. Disana la aku mula bertemu ramai pemimpin KEADILAN hari ni.. Tapi malangnya.. Perjuangan yg dihamburkan hanyalah hangat hangat taik ayam, hipokrit dan penuh dusta

Semasa dia berada di Kota Kinabalu, ditakdirkan dia ditangkap dan didakwa bawah ISA. Ada juga pihak berkata Zahid cuba melarikan diri ke luar negara. Entah lah.. Yg pastinya segala tembelangnya pecah, bermula disitu.. Tak dinafikan dia memang ditahan dalam tahanan ISA. Tapi x lama. Isterinya Hamidah telah merayu bantuan dari bekas Ketua Pemuda UMNO Pulau Pinang, Nordin Mohd Noor. Nordin telah berjumpa dengan Mokhzani untuk meminta merayu pada TunM. Dan akhirnya Zahid bebas

Zahid meletakkan jawatan sebagai Ketua Pemuda UMNO Malaysia (mungkin didesak buat begitu). Sepanjang tidak mempunyai jawatan, dia telah berusaha untuk datang kembali. Pelbagai usaha diguna untuk memujuk hati TunM. Dia akan muncul di Majlis-Majlis yang ada TunM ketika itu. Nasibnya baik. Apabila Pak Lah naik, diberinya peluang untuk menjadi Timbalan Menteri. Bagaikan roda yang berputar..  Apabila TunM mula menegur Abdullah pada tahun 2005, Zahid dan Ali Rustam adalah antara suara yang paling lantang mengkritik dan menghina TunM. Resmi lalang

Mukhriz adalah adik kepada Mokhzani yang membantunya lepas dari ISA dulu. Zahid mengkritik dengan kasar dan keras semasa Mukhriz komen ikhlas mengenai ucapan Abdullah di Persidangan Agong UMNO 2006. Sememang benar ucapan Pak Lah cetek dan hanya mengulang ucapan bujet di Parlimen.

Zahid dijangka mendapat tempat dalam kebinet Najib kerana hubungan lamanya dengan Najib. Semasa Najib pertama kali memegang jawatan Menteri Pertahanan pada awak tahun 90an, Zahid adalah Setiausaha Politik Najib. Zahid pun baik dengan Rosmah dan ini satu kelebihan utama.

Dan akhirnya, Najib jd PM.. Maka peluang Zahid semakin terbuka luas.. Sehinggalah apa yg berlaku sepanjang pemerintahan Najib dan hingga kejatuhan UMNO-BN pada PRU14 lalu.. Yg ni aku xyah la cerita, panjang sangat dah.. Sorry to say lah, dlm kononnya setia pada Najib pun, ada peluang dan kesempatan, sikit sebanyak Zahid cuba gak 'sembelih' Najib.. Tak perlu nak nafikan, ramai yg nampak dan tahu.

Selama menjawat jawatan tinggi dlm UMNO dan kerajaan, Zahid kelihatan seperti apolegis, berhujah mempertahankan pengamal politik wang atau rasuah politik yang berlaku dalam UMNO. X payah berhujah dan berlapik, Zahid mmg seorang pengamal politik wang. Maka demikianlah hujahnya.

Adakah Zahid ni boleh dipercayai kawan juga lawan?? Bagi aku mudah, simple.. Look the way he cheat Malaysian esp Malays about himslef! Xyah sembang cerita yg lebih lama, yg ni dah cukup.. Aku pernah menggelarkan Zahid ni menteri KDN paling gila dalam sejarah Malaysia kat post fb aku semasa dia baru dilantik jd Menteri di KDN. Sbnrnya aku ada kisah x best tapi bkn ngan Zahid, ngan pengiring dia.. Memang menyumpah2 

Kisahnya masa tu pagi.. Di area UNITEN. Kan sesak.. Time tu pulak dia nak lalu.. Maka pengiring2nya (masa tu TPM) lalu paksa kami berhimpit2 kereta semata2 nak bagi dia lalu.. Salah satu kereta pengiring (lupe kete model apa) dia dah 'touch' side mirror aku dan patah.. Aku jerit

Mungkin sbb depa xle berhenti, salah seorang pengiring buka tingkap dan tunjuk FUCK kat aku.. Masa tu bnyk kereta hon (mungkin depa perasan). Mcmne aku tau tu pengiring dia?? Senang je.. Siapa pakai no plet PATRIOT1?? Heheheheeeee - Orenji

45 pertuduhan membabitkan 114 juta...

Presiden Umno Ahmad Zahid Hamidi hari ini tidak mengaku salah ke atas kesemua 45 pertuduhan yang dibaca terhadapnya di mahkamah seksyen Kuala Lumpur hari ini.

Kesalalahan-kesalahan itu dicatat dilakukan Zahid di antara 13 Januari 2014 hingga 15 Mac 2018. juta. Kesemua tuduhan itu Zahid tidak mengaku salah.

Semoga apa yang menimpa Zahid hari ini akan dijadikan iktibar kepada para pemimpin terutamanya pemimpin dalam kerajaan Harapan kini. 

Hendaklah semua pemimpin akan menjadikan pendakwaan ke atas Zahid itu sebagai phobia yang memagari diri mereka. - mso

Healthcare For Veterans...

I was elated to hear that plans were afoot to build a specialist hospital for armed forces veterans in Ipoh. The news was leaked to me by my former student who is now a senior staff officer at the Ministry of Defence in Kuala Lumpur. This was sometime in October last year.

“A dedicated hospital for veterans? Wow! That’s something,” I told myself. It was not only appropriate but timely considering the hassle many of us, former servicemen who had served King and Country, had to undergo to get quality medical treatment. The nearest military hospital in Ipoh is the one at the Royal Malaysian Navy Base in Lumut. It is over 50 miles away and the journey can be a little tedious, as traffic is rather heavy most of the time.

And when your hearing is a bit difficult and eyesight a little blurry due to cataracts, negotiating the many bends and turns along the Ipoh-Lumut highway can be a little tricky unless you are accompanied by someone younger, a son or perhaps a daughter. But such luxury is not available and far between for many in my position.

The Ipoh General Hospital is not on my radar screen, as it is packed to the brim and breathing space is sorely restricted. The service is bearable says a friend but depending on one’s ailment the waiting time can be as long as eight hours. The inconvenience will deter you however gung-ho you maybe. I am not prepared to wait in a room filled with gloomy-looking people whose patience is near breaking point.

What about the many private clinics and hospitals in the city then? Well, if you do not mind paying an arm and a leg and is blessed with deep pockets, than by all means make a beeline to one near you. How you are being treated is dependent upon what you are willing to part with. If you are insured you are very welcome.

I have seen this many a time. The moment I flash my medical card, the receptionist at the front desk smiles and is extra polite. But there again, how many of us are so blessed and are adequately protected by a trustworthy insurance coverage? There will always be a clause in the policy which will place you on the receiving end. Enough on insurance and its accompanying woes. Back to the veteran hospital.

On Friday, February 2 former Defence Minister, Hishammuddin Hussein visited the proposed site at Camp Syed Putra in Tambun and proudly proclaimed, amidst much fanfare, that the hospital would be a reality in five years’ time. He estimated the cost to be between RM500 and RM600 million. The project would be a public-private partnership with the army providing the land and the private entity, the finance.

It looks pretty suspicious to me. Such dubious undertaking has been the norm in the past. Large tract of army land has been “sold” to private entities and they have been transformed into high-end housing projects and shopping malls. The former air force base in Sungai Besi, Kuala Lumpur is a fine example. The land, where the Penang-based Headquarters 2nd Infantry Division was once, is another.

The scenario is almost identical. Land is sold to the highest bidder at a profit to both seller and buyer. How much money exchanged hands under the table will never be known, as such deals are never transparent and above board.

Fortunately, the corrupt Barisan Nasional government was booted out during the historic 14th General Elections on May 9 otherwise the fate of Camp Syed Putra will never be known. The camp, where a Malay and a Ranger battalion are now bivouac, was part of a larger camp that once housed a Gurkha battalion and some ancillary units during the Malayan Emergency period (1948-1960).

In September 1963 the camp, then known as Sulva Lines, was handed over to the Malaysian Army. It was renamed Camp Syed Putra in honour of the then Raja of Perlis, Raja Syed Harun Putra ibni Almarhum Syed Hassan Jamalullail, who was the Colonel-in-Chief of the Ranger Corps. Two pioneering Ranger battalions traced their origins to the camp. Presently, the facility is home to the 2nd Battalion Royal Ranger Regiment.

As mentioned, in an earlier episode, I was in command of a Ranger battalion (1988-1990) and was based there once. Even then rumours were abound that the 65-acre campsite would be sold to a privateer and we would be relocated to a site somewhere along the Simpang Pulai-Cameron Highlands road, away from the madding crowd, so to speak. The North-South Expressway was realigned to avoid damaging the rifle range at the southern tip of the camp.

Camp Syed Putra, like the Sungai Besi Air Force Base, has plenty to contribute to our local history. Over a hundred Gurkha soldiers and their family members are interred in a purpose-built cemetery in the camp. The cemetery is being maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Billets, quarters and buildings are one of a kind no longer seen in modern army bases today. Any developments will affect these old structures and will invariably impact the camp’s originality. And being an old soldier, I do not cherish such a thought. I am, therefore, prepared to forego the veteran hospital however enticing it may be.

There are five military hospitals in the country and we, ex-servicemen, are at liberty to use any of them. The Tuanku Mizan Military Hospital in Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur is my choice. My wife and I are being treated here. The facilities available are superb and serve our needs. The most patronised outpatient ward is the orthopaedic ward. I guess the kind of training we had undergone explains why this ward is oversubscribed. I get to meet many of my old friends here, some of whom I have not met for years. Most are afflicted with arthritis.

On an average about a hundred patients are attended to daily by three orthopaedic surgeons on duty. Veterans are allocated two days in a week for consultation – Tuesday and Thursday. My next appointment is on Thursday, November 1. - Fathol Zaman Bukhari,Ipoh Echo

So far 3 charged. Who's next?...

Don't worry, be happy...
