Notice To UMNO/BN

Steadyaku47

We give notice to UMNO and Barisan Nasional that we will no longer be bound by the limitations of decency and good taste in our fight to bring back our rights to a decent and good government for the people of this country. We do so not because we have our backs against the wall. Not because we hunger for power. Not because our cause requires such tactics in order to have hope of being accepted by the people. No, not for any of those reasons.

You UMNO and your co conspirators in Barisan have shown us the way. You have made conspiring with the corrupt, the sleazy and murderers as your modus operandi. You choose to prosecute our leaders on trumped up charges – incarcerating them in prisons for years and years – not on criminal charges but for their beliefs. You choose to have disbarred lawyers and convicted politicians as your representatives in elections – surely an overt display of your disdain and contempt for the common people whose votes you seek. You chose to have as our Prime Minister a man unwilling and unable to defend his reputation in court and yet you dare to charge our Anwar Ibrahim for sodomy. Murder and sodomy? What arrogance you have in doing so!

No more. No more will we be bound by common decency and good manners in our fight with you. We start here with Bagan Pinang. Tomorrow I will say what I have to say about Isa and why he is not fit to represent the people of Bagan Pinang. If the religious authorities in Pahang chose to cane Kartika for having a glass of beer let us see what the religious authority will say about Isa after tomorrow. God help us.

Keringat tentera diperah untuk kepentingan Sang Perasuah

Anwar Ibrahim Blog

Perajurit adalah pemegang saham terbesar dalam mempertahankan kedaulatan negara kita. Ketumbukan anggota tentera yang terlatih dan memiliki disiplin yang tinggi telah berjaya menangani dan menghadapi ancaman keselamatan dari luar dan juga di sempadan negara. Pengorbanan mereka cukup besar; senantiasa siap siaga di perbatasan, meninggalkan keluarga tersayang di kampong halaman, mendepani cabaran dan risiko serangan, mengharungi ranjau dan belukar atas nama perjuangan, menyemai bakti untuk anak bangsa dan tanah air kesayangan. Port Dickson menjadi salah satu dari markas penting dalam melahir dan melatih ramai perajurit dan pejuang negara sejak sebelum Perang Dunia Kedua lagi.

Saya juga tidak sunyi dari kehidupan keluarga tentera. Allahyarham ayah saya, Ali Omar atau lebih dikenali sebagai Ali Kupang ( kerana berasal dari Kedah ) berkhidmat selama 21 tahun termasuk dalam British Army dengan memakai nombor tentera 3443. Masih segar diingatan saya nombor tenteranya ! Beliau pernah berkhidmat di Kuala Pilah dan Singapura. Allahyarham bapa saya sering menceritakan kepada anak-anaknya bagaimana pengalaman pahit beliau ketika berdepan dengan serangan komunis dalam hutan belantara. Bapa saudara saya juga adalah pegawai tentera. Mejar Nayan Omar berkhidmat dan menetap lama di Port Dickson. Abang kandung saya, Azman Ali mendapat latihan ketenteraan di Port Dickson dan berkhidmat selama lebih satu dekad dalam perkhidmatan ketenteraan dengan berpangkat Leftenan sebelum mengambil pilihan persaraan awal.

Siapa tidak kenal Leftenan Muda Adnan yang memimpin Rejimen Askar Melayu dan telah mengadai jiwa raga demi mempertahankan tanah air dari pencerobohan tentera Jepun. Sejarah merakamkan pengorbanan besar anggota perajurit Malaysia sejak sebelum merdeka lagi dalam mendepani zaman darurat dan konfrantasi dari Indonesia.

Namun, amat malang dan sedih sekali apabila sumbangan dan pengorbanan anggota perajurit dan para pejuang tanah air sering dipandang sepi oleh UMNO dan Barisan Nasional. Pendapatan anggota tentera dan juga imbuhan untuk mereka tidak setimpal dengan perkhidmatan mereka mempertahankan kedaulatan negara ini. Kebajikan pesara tentera dan juga keluarga mereka tidak diberikan perhatian yang serius oleh Kerajaan Pusat. Apabila tamat perkhidmatan khususnya persaraan wajib, sebahagian besar pesara-pesara tentera dan keluarga mereka terpaksa melalui kehidupan yang payah dan getir; ibarat kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang belum tentu makan. Kos kehidupan yang semakin meningkat akan terus membebankan masa depan keluarga pejuang-pejuang tanah air ini. Pada umur persaraan, keadaan kesihatan juga mungkin terganggu. Namun, anggota tentera dan keluarga mereka tidak mampu untuk mendapat perkhidmatan kesihatan yang terbaik kerana kos yang mahal.

Pak Menteri dan Sang Penguasa membuat pegumuman untuk berbelanja besar bagi meningkatkan prestasi ketenteraan melalui pembelian senjata moden dan canggih. Tapi umum sedia maklum. Matlamat yang tersirat adalah untuk memunggah komisyen yang berjumlah ratusan juta ringgit untuk pemimpin bangsawan UMNO dan kroni serta suku sakat mereka. Masalah dan kebajikan warga perajurit masih tidak diselesaikan. Malahan keringat mereka diperah untuk kepentingan segelintar Sang Perasuah.

Pakatan Rakyat ingin menjayakan program untuk anggota tentera dan perajurit serta keluarga mereka melalui peruntukan yang besar untuk program perumahan anggota tentera, peluang pendidikan untuk anak-anak melalui biasiswa dan pinjaman pendidikan serta latihan teknikal dan sokongan selepas persaraan untuk menyediakan anggota tentera dan perajurit menceburi bidang perniagaan. Saya juga ingin mencadangkan pembinaan sebuah hospital khas untuk warga tentera dan keluarga mereka yang bertaraf dunia dan dilengkapi dengan kemudahan dan teknologi perubatan yang moden termasuk pakar-pakar perubatan dan kemudahan terapi untuk anggota-anggota tentera yang tercedera semasa dalam perkhidmatan. Kos perubatan perlulah minima sebagai menghargai sumbangan dan pengorbanan mereka.

Pengumuman Port Dickson sebagai Bandar Tentera Darat tidak lebih dari satu lagi projek Barisan Nasional untuk memperhangatkan kempen pilihan raya di Bagan Pinang. Penggunaan undi pos adalah perbuatan diskriminasi berterusan terhadap para perajurit kita. Usaha terancang untuk memanipulasi undi pos masih berleluasa di kem-kem tentera. Maruah perajurit kita terus tercalar ekoran kerakusan UMNO untuk berkuasa. Benarlah hujah seorang pegawai tertinggi SPR kepada saya beberapa tahun lalu apabila diajukan soalan penghapusan undi pos. Jawabnya ringkas, “Najib tidak mahu undi pos dihapuskan kerana undi pos menjamin survival kuasa UMNO” !

Berdasarkan laporan Malaysiakini disini, seorang bekas sarjan yang dikenali sebagai Abu Kassim mengakui pernah memangkah BN bagi pihak anggota-anggota tentera yang lain dalam dua pilihan raya umum yang lalu.

Kenyataan ini sudah cukup membuktikan bahawa UMNO tidak menghormati kemuliaan dan kebijaksanaan pengundi-pengundi di kalangan anggota tentera dan warga perajurit. Malahan UMNO terus memperbodohkan pengundi-pengundi di Bagan Pinang dengan menonjolkan Isa Samad sebagai calon terbaik Barisan Nasional. Tindakan ini amat memalukan negara kita dan kewibawaan pengundi-pengundi kita khususnya pegawai-pegawai dan anggota tentera dan pengundi-pengundi muda. Parti dan pemimpin yang terpalit dengan rasuah sudah lama ditolak di negara-negara maju seperti Jepun, Korea, India, Eropah dan Amerika Syarikat. Yang terbaru kita saksikan bagaimana parti LDP yang berkuasa selama lebih 50 tahun di Jepun telah dihumban oleh rakyat Jepun.

Saya menyeru kepada semua pengundi di Bagan Pinang khususnya pengundi-pengundi pos dan pengundi-pengundi muda dan juga ahli-ahli UMNO biasa untuk bersama-sama muafakat membawa perubahan pada 11 Oktober 2009 ini di Bagan Pinang. Dunia sedang menyaksikan keupayaan pengundi-pengundi di Bagan Pinang untuk menjana kekuatan baru dengan menolak parti dan calon yang rasuah demi masa depan yang lebih sejahtera untuk Malaysia. Pakatan Rakyat adalah parti masa depan.

PKR welcomes Khairy's call for probe into Anwar

Malaysiakini

By Chua Sue Ann, The Edge

PKR's election machinery director Saifuddin Nasution Ismail today welcomed calls by Umno Youth to probe PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's alleged "billion-dollar bank account", but wants similar investigations to extend to other politicians.

Saifuddin was responding to Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin's call for police to refresh its investigations into allegations made by former Bank Negara assistant governor Datuk Abdul Murad Khalid in 1999 that Anwar had RM3 billion in several master accounts.

 

Abdul Murad later retracted the statutory declaration in which he detailed his allegations, but Khairy maintained that the matter should still be investigated for public interest.

 

Speaking at a press conference here, Saifuddin said: "We agree with the Umno Youth chief based on the principles that leaders must be whiter than white... not only Anwar as opposition leader, but for all politicians."

 

The Machang member of parliament then turned the tables, saying this would present him an opportunity to renew his previous police reports against other politicians, as well as reveal fresh cases.

 

Saifuddin charged that former political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda, who is said to be a close confidant of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, should similarly be probed for his involvement in negotiating the government's purchase of submarines via Abdul Razak's company, Perimekar Sdn Bhd.

 

The transaction sparked public criticism when it was reported that Perimekar had earned a hefty commission from the deals.

 

Saifuddin added that Khairy should similarly be investigated to ascertain how the young politician, who is former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's son-in-law, could afford to take up stakes in investment and stockbroking-based company ECM Libra Avenue Bhd.

 

Khairy had purchased 10.2 million shares or 1.23% in ECM Libra Avenue Bhd at 71 sen each in December 2005 and sold his entire stake for 65 sen a share on Aug 11, 2006.

 

"We welcome Khairy Jamaluddin's efforts. This is to ensure that the political stage is filed with clean politicians. The rakyat deserves clean politicians and this gives us a chance to reveal new cases," Saifuddin said. 

 

Saifuddin also asked Khairy to specify when and where the police report will be lodged, adding that he would personally accompany Khairy to the police station.

 

In a statement on Oct 6, Khairy said Umno Youth would lodge a police report over allegations that Anwar had RM3 billion in several master accounts in a bid to restart police probe into the allegations.

 

“This is a very serious accusation. When Abdul Murad’s statutory declaration was made, many wondered about the results of the investigations. Many still want to know whether the accusation is true and if it is, what the next course of action will be,” Khairy said in a statement yesterday.

 

The Umno Youth chief was responding to recent newspaper reports quoting Anwar’s friend-turned-nemesis Datuk K S Nallakarupan, who claimed the opposition leader had a lot of resources.

Makkal Sakti ada agenda tersembunyi?

Malaysiakini

Pelancaran parti politik Makkal Sakthi pada Sabtu ini menimbulkan tanda tanya dalam kalangan masyarakat India tentang kemungkinan wujudnya agenda tertentu di sebalik penubuhannya.

Lantas reaksi orang ramai, terutamanya kaum India, ialah sama ada Makkal Sakti akan menjadi parti alternatif atau sekadar mahu mendorong perubahan dalam MIC yang sejak 63 tahun lepas mewakili komuniti itu.

Dr S Sivamurugan, penganalisis politik di Fakulti Sains Sosial Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), berpendapat penubuhan parti politik baru seperti Makkal Sakti tidak boleh dianggap sebagai parti alternatif kepada MIC.

"Tak mungkin ada parti dapat menggantikan MIC tetapi Makkal Sakthi boleh menjadi parti alternatif bagi menyelesaikan masalah kaum India yang gagal ditangani oleh MIC," katanya.

Sivamurugan berkata Makkal Sakthi boleh berfungsi sebagai platform untuk memujuk dan mengumpulkan parti komponen India lain seperti Barisan Progresif India (IPF) dan Parti Progresif Penduduk (PPP) yang enggan bekerjasama dengan MIC tetapi menyokong BN, agar dapat menyumbang kepada kemajuan masyarakat India.

"Jika parti-parti politik India bekerjasama mereka dapat membantu 30 peratus rakyat India yang berada di bawah garis kemiskinan.

"Mereka boleh sama-sama bantu mendapatkan pekerjaan kepada generasi muda, bantuan pendidikan kepada pelajar India dan memberikan bantuan kebajikan bagi yang memerlukan," katanya.

Satu tinjauan rambang Bernama di Jalan Brickfields dan Lebuh Ampang, dua kawasan di ibu negara yang popular dalam kalangan kaum India untuk membeli-belah, mendapati reaksi yang hampir serupa.

Ada yang mengakui bahawa MIC merupakan parti yang memperjuangkan hak kaum India untuk tempoh yang lama, namun kini tidak disukai disebabkan oleh gelagat beberapa pemimpinnya.

"Kemarahan masyarakat India terhadap kepimpinannya dan bukan terhadap parti berkenaan," kata S Thiagarajah, 40, bekas guru yang kini menjalankan perniagaan sendiri.

M Alice, 58, pula berharap kehadiran Makkal Sakthi akan menimbulkan kesedaran dalam kalangan pemimpin-pemimpin MIC yang sebelum ini bersikap sambil lewa melaksanakan tanggungjawab mereka.

"Kini mereka akan bangun dari tidur dan mula sedar tentang pentingnya sokongan rakyat India terhadap parti itu, jika tidak mereka akan terus lupakan tanggungjawab mereka, sedangkan rakyatlah yang menjadi kunci kepada jawatan yang disandang oleh mereka kini," katanya.

M Nanthini, 33, seorang pegawai syarikat swasta, berpendapat saingan daripada parti baru adalah baik untuk MIC.

"MIC adalah parti utama mewakili masyarakat India, dan ia akan wujud selama-lamanya. Namun, sebagai satu pilihan, kita perlukan sebuah parti lain supaya MIC sentiasa akan memberikan perkhidmatan terbaik kepada kaum India," katanya.

S Tamilmagan, seorang pekerja swasta, pula berkata MIC memang berjasa kepada masyarakat India tetapi parti itu tidak bersatu.

"Jadi, jika ada sebuah parti baru yang boleh menyatukan semula kaum India, apa salahnya?" katanya.

P Ganesh, 23, pelajar kolej swasta tempatan berkata, kemunculan Makkal Sakti sedikit sebanyak akan dapat menyedarkan pemimpin MIC untuk berubah. BERNAMA

ISA SAMAD SPEAKS THE TRUTH!

BAGAN PINANG BY-ELECTION:No promises of money, says Isa

By Heidi Foo

PORT DICKSON: Barisan Nasional candidate Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad has dismissed allegations that he had promised Bagan Pinang constituents money if they voted for him on polling day.

He also said claims that he would be depositing a sum of money into their accounts to thank them were untrue.

"I have never promised that. This is a dirty tactic by the opposition to tarnish my image. 

"I believe the opposition has more smear tactics up their sleeves. This is the work of those who are desperate. I want to clarify this with the voters and advise them not to believe such rumours. I have never promised to give money to anyone."

He said BN would meet with voters to explain the truth, including through short-messaging system and letters, to ensure that the voters were not deceived.

"This is neither my approach nor BN's -- to promise money. We will keep our word and I don't want to be a liar because a liar will not keep to his word.

My comments: 

OK…I have done laughing! Took me a few minutes but I am now able to control myself and try to explain to you all what this Isa guy is really saying.

Seriously folks he is telling the truth! He did not promised to give money to anyone – the Chinese Towkays are doing it.

And he also spoke the truth when he said that BN’s approach is also “not to promise anyone money” – Barisan Nasional will take it for themselves! 

He also told the truth when he said that BN are not liars because “a liar will not keep their words”. I have to agree with Isa here because when that Din guy (the one who is Home Gangster ..I mean Minister) promised to fill the prison to the brim with ISA detainees  - we know he will keep his word.

BN also promised to champion Malay rights...and technically they have done that! What they neglect to say was that it was UMNO Malays that they were championing…and you really cannot fault them for that minor oversight. After all UMNO members are also Malays- not the type of Malays I want to associate with - but Malays nevertheless.

Isa my advise is this: 

• If it is not right do not do it.
  
• If it is not true do not say it.

Prime Minister of UMNO?

 

Steadyaku47

 

Will someone tell if this Najib is the Prime Minister of UMNO, of the Malays or of Malaysia. I did not mention the Chinese, the Indians and the Others because by default and by his actions he has certainly made these people reject him as their Prime Minister. So that leaves the Malays and Malaysia because he certainly is Prime Minister of UMNO. Now because Malaysia is made up of not only Malays but also the others then again by default he cannot be Prime Minister for Malaysia. So that leaves the Malays. 

The jury is still out and deliberating this issue. Yes there are only Malays in UMNO. But are the interest of UMNO and the Malays the same? The Malays are Muslims. And so, it seems are the profess religion of those in UMNO. Tapi cakap bukan serupa bikin. Islam frowns on greed, corruption, and deceit. UMNO does not. 

The Malays are polite, soft spoken and do not, I repeat do not, tolerate arrogance and lack of respect for elders and for those that live amongst them. The leaders of UMNO are arrogant to a fault. They strut around like peacocks and yet bury their head in the sand like ostriches unwilling and unable to understand that the Malays are the reason they are in power for the last fifty years. Instead they let it be known to anybody who would listen that it is because of UMNO that the Malays are what they are today. 

And what are the Malays today? Are they more successful then the Chinese? No! Are their children better educated that the thousands of others that have chosen or are driven to go overseas to further their studies? No. Are the Malays positioned to take on the Chinese economically? No – not even with the Bumiputra privileges, not with the NEP not even with our so-called control of all the major economic instruments required for our success in commerce. This is because of the abuse and manipulations by UMNO of all these advantages that was to be for the Malays but instead hijacked by UMNO for its own. 

So if UMNO insists that the Malays are what they are to day because of UMNO – yes I agree. 

UMNO has cause the Malays to be a poor second to the Chinese and the others. 

So I say that Najib is not Prime Minister for the Malays. He certainly is Prime Minister for UMNO. He justifies the need and use of the ISA to imprison any opposition politicians that he perceives is a threat to UMNO. Not to the country but to UMNO! 

He presides over a PDRM that murders suspects in custody in the name of solving crimes to make the UMNO government seem tough on Law and Order. 

He justifies the taking of our resources by UMNO stalwarts in the name of the Malays and then overlooks the keeping of these resources by UMNO for their own personal account. An act only a Prime Minister for UMNO will condone. 

This Najib also talks about taking the high moral ground for all Malaysian and yet as Prime Minister of UMNO picks a convicted corrupt Isa Samad to be their flag carrier in a by-election this week in Bagan Pinang. 

So I say again. Najib is Prime Minister for UMNO. Not for the Malays, not for the Chinese nor the Indians. Not for anybody else in Malaysia. He is only Prime Minister for UMNO. 

For us Malays that are not in UMNO I can say with confidence that we will survive. We have survived for most of the past two decades of Mahathir’s regime without much assist from the UMNO government while he helps those preferred UMNO Malays and his cronies to the richness of our country. We do not expect this to change under Najib. We will wait for a Prime Minster to come that will be for Malaysia. For all of us. That day will come soon.
