Rumusan Pakatan menang besar tak tepat, kata KJ Posted: 12 Aug 2011 10:31 PM PDT Metodologi yang digunakan untuk merumuskan bahawa Pakatan Rakyat akan memenangi 100 kerusi parlimen pada pilihan raya umum akan datang tidak tepat, kata ahli parlimen Rembau, Khairy Jamaluddin. Bercakap kepada Malaysiakini semalam, Khairy berkata ini adalah kerana kesan BERSIH 2.0 tidak mungkin dirasai di kawasan luar bandar mahupun di negeri-negeri yang dikuasai oleh Pakatan. "Kita (BN) tidak syak lagi bahawa BERSIH memberi kesan, dan kita sedar akan ini, tetapi hanya di kawasan tertentu. Di kerusi luar bandar, ia tidak tepat. "Untuk mengatakan bahawa sehingga 20 (BN) kerusi akan tumbang terlalu memperbesarkan kesannya," katanya ketika dihubungi. Khairy diminta mengulas rumusan penganalisis politik Wong Chin Huat yang mendakwa kesan BERSIH 2.0 akan menyaksikan Pakatan Rakyat mampu menambahkan jumlah kerusi parlimennya daripada 75 kepada 100 pada pilihan raya umum akan datang. Menurut Wong, kekasaran ke atas peserta BERSIH yang menuntut pilihan raya adil dan bersih itu oleh pihak berkuasa juga akan mempengaruhi pengundi atas pagar bagi membuang undi protes terhadap BN, jika tidak pun mengundi untuk Pakatan Rakyat. Dengan mengandaikan tiada penyelewengan pada pilihan raya itu, Wong berkata ini boleh menyebabkan kejatuhan 20 daripada 30 kerusi marginal yang dimenangi oleh BN pada pilihan raya umum 2008. Katanya, antara kerusi yang terjejas itu kebanyakannya terletak di bandar atau separa bandar, dan juga kerusi luar bandar di negeri-negeri yang diterajui oleh Pakatan, khususnya di Terengganu di mana PAS mempunyai penyokong akar umbi yang ramai. Bagi Khairy, kerusi luar bandar yang disenaraikan termasuk parlimen Sungai Besar di Selangor, sepatutnya tidak berada di dalam senarai tersebut. Katanya, impak sebenar BERSIH 2.0 hanya boleh diukur beberapa bulan selepas perhimpunan itu kerana pengundi juga akan mempertimbangkan bagaimana tindakan kerajaan mengendalikan tuntutan supaya reformasi pilihan raya diadakan. "Perhimpunan itu sendiri tidak mencerminkan pendapat orang ramai," katanya. Khairy, yang juga Ketua Pemuda BN berkata terdapat isu lain yang akan membentuk sentimen pengundi. "Isu-isu ekonomi membabitkan semua. Peningkatan kos sara hidup mempunyai kesan yang lebih besar daripada BERSIH 2.0," katanya. Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search.

PKR: Ugutan Ezam ke atas M'kini 'perbuatan jenayah' Posted: 12 Aug 2011 09:57 PM PDT Ancaman Senator Ezam Mohd Nor untuk membakar dua portal berita adalah "perbuatan jenayah" dan pihak polis serta peguam negara perlu bertindak segera ke atasnya, kata naib presiden PKR, N Surendran. "Kami terkejut bahawa seorang ahli Dewan Negara sanggup mengeluarkan kata-kata seumpama itu dan mengancam secara terbuka untuk melakukan perbuatan jenayah. "Ini adalah satu ancaman yang keterlaluan ke atas harta dan pejabat kedua-dua portal berita ini; lebih serius lagi ancaman itu juga boleh mendatangkan kecederaan parah atau mungkin kematian terhadap kakitangan, penulis dan penghuni lain," kata Surendran dalam satu kenyataan petang semalam. Beliau mengulas kenyataan yang dibuat oleh Ezam pada perhimpunan di masjid Shah Alam semalam yang mempertahankan serbuan Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (JAIS) ke atas sebuah gereja di Petaling Jaya minggu lalu. "Kita akan lancarkan perang habis-habisan jika mereka tidak hentikan dengan ejen mereka -- Malaysiakini, Malaysian Insider -- yang biadap kepada JAIS, kononnya mereka menceroboh masuk gereja. "Kita beri anda amaran terakhir. Jika anda tidak hentikan sampah ini, kita akan bakar anda," kata Ezam. Menurut Surendran, ancaman secara terang-terangan itu adalah satu kesalahan jenayah di bawah undang-undang negara ini. "Pihak polis dan Peguam Negara perlu mengambil tindakan segera terhadap Ezam Mohd Nor di bawah Seksyen 503 dan 505 Kanun Keseksaan kerana ugutan berunsur jenayah." Naib presiden PKR itu juga menggesa Umno bagi menghormati kebebasan rakyat bersuara dan ucapan seperti yang dijamin oleh Perkara 10 Perlembagaan Persekutuan. "Amat mengganggu bahawa seorang senator dari Umno, yang menjadi tulang belakang kerajaan BN, mengancam untuk merusuh dan membakar pertubuhan media berita." Ezam, bekas ahli PKR dan sekutu rapat ketua umum PKR Anwar Ibrahim, berpaling tadah dan menyertai semula Umno setelah pergeseran pahit dengan ketua pembangkang itu.

Thuggery unbecoming of a senator, Ezam Posted: 12 Aug 2011 02:23 AM PDT I am shocked that it has come to this (Senator Ezam threatens to 'burn down' news portals). That individuals who are educated and who hold political office cannot debate, discuss in a competent, professional, dedicated and moderate manner on any issues! Is it the culture now in Malaysia to issue threats, scream seditious utterances and in this case a threat to burn down private buildings housing news portals? What is the message we are giving the international community by this act? The threat was made by a senator, from the ruling party, not a political moron or idiot suffering from some neurological disorder. Is this going to be the Malaysian way to address national issues every time a scandal or fiasco is unearthed? To address them with threats, seditious utterances, criminal intimidation, and to burn effigies and portraits of political foes and opponents at each and every political discourse? I am sure these threats issued in the manner they have appeared, first in Penang a month or so ago, and again, today shockingly, in the month of Ramadan and after Friday prayers, when it is a religious month whence one reflects, pauses, fasts, prays, do all such good works, initiates reconciliation between man and man and man and the Almighty! I am certain there is nothing in there that mentions about uttering seditious statements, threats, even criminal intimidation and damage to property in this case initiating a fire on a property housing two news portals that have being extremely popular domestically and respected internationally on an allegation that is unfounded and wild. How is Malaysia going to attract foreign direct investments, investors and international tourists if these forms of increased religious bigotry, racism, arrogance and thuggery becomes our way of life! Now we have racist NGO's playing vigilant roles on public and private morality and values and at times forcing down their tunnel vision racist philosophies on others. Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and the entire Barisan Nasional team, is this the way to address issues in Malaysia? Is this Umno senator above the law? By his behaviour he has smeared the image of all senators who are expected to uphold the law not break it no matter what he allegations or issues are. Malaysia is not a banana republic. We have laws in Malaysia, we have public institutions, we have the police and legislation to address issues not mob justice and rule. I cannot but fear for the future.

Instant citizens: Umno wins, whole country loses Posted: 12 Aug 2011 12:04 AM PDT Recent alternative media news reports suggest that the Election Commission (EC) and the National Registration Department (NRD) are working hand-in-hand in a population re-engineering scam. This is due to the fact that there is evidence of the existence of phantom voters, cloned voters and 'instant citizens'. This malaise if allowed to continue unchecked will certainly serve to hijack the nation's economic pie as well as debunk the neutrality of the public institutions such as the EC and the NRD whose code of ethics must surely demand that they act neutral at all times. The proliferation of phantom voters as well as cloned voters due to the 'instant citizens' easily obtaining MyKad and getting to vote as their names are instantly registered in the voter rolls, negates the one man-one vote system as it becomes a free-for-all where the party who has immense financial clout is able to manipulate the voting results in their favour through the buying of votes. Population re-engineering occurs when the nation's demographics are drastically altered due to manipulation. And this is what is happening here. This manipulation may even endanger national interest if the ever-shrinking economic pie due to large slices being given to cronies has to be shared with a large and sudden increase in population. It is just too much of a coincidence that the registering of legal and illegal foreign workers using the biometric system is held before the coming 13th general election which is reported to be just around the corner. Foreign workers becoming instant citizens/instant voters can only happen with the tacit approval from the powers-that-be, i.e. the government of the day, which happens to be the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition. The citizenship given to these foreign workers in exchange for a vote for BN is akin to selling the nation's rights at the drop of a hat. That this is happening on a daily basis is a great cause of concern for the nation's citizens and must definitely not be condoned but instead must be brought to the attention of the Yang Di Pertuan Agong who is mandated with safeguarding the sanctity of the federal constitution.
