Dr Agus : Himpunan 505 Kerajaan Tidak Perlu Ugut Rakyat

Posted: 28 May 2013 05:53 PM PDT

SHAH ALAM, 29 MEI : Pensyarah Politik, Prof Madya Datuk Dr Mohammad Agus Yusoff menggesa kerajaan menyelesaikan permasalahan Perhimpunan 505 secara baik tanpa perlu ada sebarang bentuk ugutan mahupun kekerasan.

Ini kerana majoriti rakyat menyedari tanggungjawab dan hak mereka untuk berhimpun selaras dengan Perkara 10(1)(b) Perlembagaan Persekutuan.

Ulas beliau di laman Facebooknya, perkara berkenaan menyatakan perhimpunan aman adalah hak rakyat: Semua warganegara berhak berhimpun secara aman dan tanpa senjata.

"Bagi kerajaan juga, saya harap sangat isu perhimpunan 505 ini dikendalikan secara baik. Moga tidak ada penggunaan kekerasan, tangkapan yang tidak perlu dan ugutan kepada rakyat.

"Rakyat sedar tentang tanggungjawab dan hak mereka. Berikan mereka peluang untuk mengekspresikan diri dalam ruang yang dibenarkan oleh sistem demokrasi dan undang-undang negara kita," katanya.

Media melaporkan enam lagi pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat didakwa kerana menganjurkan perhimpunan tanpa memaklumkan perkara berkenaan kepada Ketua Polis Daerah masing-masing seperti yang dinyatakan dalam Akta Himpunan Aman 2012.

Bagi menyelesaikan perkara ini beliau menyarankan agar Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak dan Ketua Pembangkang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim mengadakan dialog untuk menyelesaikan kemelut ini.

Tulisnya lagi, berkenaan sistem pilihan raya di negara ini diuruskan oleh Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya(SPR) mengikut perlembagaan.

Maka jika didakwa berlaku ketidakpuasan hati dalam pilihan raya, SPR perlu bertanggungjawab untuk menjawabnya.

Tegasnya lagi demokrasi di negara ini tidak boleh subur sendirian sebaliknya memerlukan pembangkang dan kerajaan sama-sama memahami dan meraikannya./~selangorku

Terbaekk..Apabila PAS Sudah Tersasar..??

Posted: 28 May 2013 05:52 PM PDT

Sebagai sebuah parti politik dan Gerakan Islam yang wujud agak lama (1951), PAS mengharungi liku-liku perjuangan dengan penuh tenang, sabar dan matang. Apatah lagi kehadirannya ketika ini mempunyai impak yang besar dalam politik negara.

Tatkala DAP mendapat sokongan besar rakyat khususnya kaum Cina dengan memenangi 38 kerusi parlimen, PAS mengalami kemerosotan, apabila hanya memperolehi 21 kerusi parlimen pada PRU13, Pas sudah tersasar dari 54 parlimen target seperti diumum Pengerusi Road Map PAS Pusat, Datuk Husam Musa. Sementara menunggu laporan postmortem PAS Pusat yang diketuai Naib Presiden, Sdr Salahudin Ayub, tentu sekali muhasabah punca kekalahan teruk di sesetengah kawasan Melayu seperti di kawasan luar bandar dan Felda dibincangkan dengan lapang dada.

Kehilangan Kedah dari pemerintahan PAS dan Pakatan Rakyat, kegagalan merampas semula Perak, kemerosotan kerusi Parlimen dan Dun di Kelantan, kehilangan satu-satunya Dun PAS di Negeri Sembilan, Paroi, kegagalan memperolehi sekurang-kurangnya 20 Parlimen di Sabah dan Sarawak meskipun dikatakan gelombang 'INI KALILAH' begitu luar biasa adalah sesuatu yang sangat pahit untuk ditelan.

Apapun yang kita perkatakan mengenai penipuan dalam pilihanraya, kegagalan SPR bertindak adil dan telus, kehadiran pengundi hantu dan seribu satu macam dakwaan, pada ketika ini, BN adalah pemenangnya!

Setelah PR mengadakan road tour Blackout 505 dan kemuncaknya anjuran 60 NGO di Amcorp Mall Petaling Jaya, Sabtu lalu, apa lagi yang mahu dilakukan selepas ini?


Sementara menantikan petisyen difailkan dalam masa terdekat, tugasan mengekalkan momentum sokongan rakyat bukan perkara mudah. Sesetengah rakyat berpendapat, inilah masanya baik BN atau PR yang mendapat mandat semula di Pulau Pinang, Selangor dan Kelantan melaksanakan janji-janji dalam manifesto.

Notis mesyuarat agung di semua peringkat telah dikeluarkan oleh Setiausaha Agung PAS. Ia saluran terbaik untuk menyemak, menilai dan melakukan koreksi terhadap kemampuan parti. Sama ada pemilihan secara syura atau pertandingan, lakukan dengan penuh harmoni. Jika ada calon yang lebih baik, boleh dicadang untuk menjadi pemimpin baru. Tidak perlu lobi melobi, kerana perwakilan ada pilihan tersendiri berdasarkan kriteria dan track record lalu.

Menuding jari mencari kesalahan dan kelemahan orang lain memang mudah. Tidak semudahnya akur dengan pertanggungjawaban atas bahu sendiri. Namun, bagi orang yang berjuang atas kebenaran, bangkit dari kekalahan dan mara dengan semangat baru... itulah keyakinan atas kemanisan iman!

Kalah dalam pilihanraya bukan bererti tewas dalam perjuangan. Mencontohi perjuangan para Rasul, sahabat dan pejuang terdahulu yang jauh lebih sukar; sesungguhnya menjadi motivasi berguna.

PAS telah melalui tempoh-tempoh pilihanraya yg panjang dan sukar. Ada waktu bersendirian dan bertahaluf. Usahakan untuk meraikan pandangan berbeza dan kritis meskipun dari kawan PR kita, blogger-blogger pro PR maupun lawan kita BN. Jangan rendahkan martabat kita dengan jawaban atas komen secara keterlaluan.

Bagi saya pimpinan tertinggi PR harus bertemu dalam masa terdekat untuk jernihkan suasana. Bincang hala tuju parti dan buat rumusan serta tentukan keutamaannya bagi hari-hari yang mendatang. Baik Dewan Pemuda PAS dan AMK, anda adalah harapan anak muda. Tidak manis guna medan yang tidak sesuai. Tangani dengan penuh bijak atas keluasan intelektual masing-masing. Pemimpin mesti berjiwa besar, jangan rendahkan martabat diri dengan kenyataan yang penuh emosi dan tidak menguntungkan sesiapa.

Selaku AJK PAS Pusat dan Presiden ANAK, saya memikul tanggunjawab atas kemerosotan prestasi khusus di kawasan Felda. 18 Mei lalu pimpinan ANAK mengadakan perbincangan panjang mengenai halatuju ANAK dan proses penjenamaan semula ANAK. Saya sedang merangka proses peralihan kepada pemimpin pelapis ANAK, suatu nafas baru dari pemimpin sedia ada. Akan tiba masanya, saya perlu berundur untuk memberi ruang kepada pemimpin lain yang lebih berwibawa.

ANAK mesti diperkasa seperti NGO-NGO lain. Biar bagaimana sekalipun layanan rakyat kepada kita; cemuhan, fitnah, maki hamun dll, mereka adalah mad'u dan pengundi kita. Anggaplah kita yang silap, semak pendekatan, kekuatan akar umbi dan kedudukan kita di tengah masyarakat.

Insya Allah, PAS akan terus berada di persada politik negara dengan segala kemampuannya dan menyumbang untuk kepentingan masyarakat majmuk. Siapa pun yang menerajui parti khususnya selepas Muktamar November ini; keutamaannya adalah menegakkan perjuangan yang suci dan murni ini...

Daripada terus membicarakan polemik ulama atau profesional, yang kadang kala perdebatannya jadi kasar dan hilang adab, adalah lebih baik fokus kepada dasar perjuangan dan khidmat bakti kita untuk masyarakat. Mengaku kelemahan diri dan hormati pandangan pihak lain.

Mudah-mudahan kita terus mantap dalam satu pasukan, harapan rakyat hari ini dan masa depan.

PAS FOR ALL

‘Police harassing those filing reports on indelible ink’

Posted: 28 May 2013 09:50 AM PDT

Malaysiakini

Several people who lodged police reports over the easily washable indelible ink used in the 13th general election have been subjected to harassment and intimidation by the police, PKR Youth says.

The photographs of the complainants were taken and they were also questioned as to whether they were paid to lodge their reports, PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin told a press conference today.

NONEShamsul Iskandar (left) said such action on the part of the police constituted harassment, since there was no cause at all for the pictures of the complainants to be taken.

“I want to ask the new inspector-general of police (Khalid Abu Bakar) and Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi whether this will be the standard procedure for the authorities to take pictures of complainants, up close,” asked Shamsul Iskandar, who is also a lawyer.

“Such a practice (of intimidation) should stop as this is a violation of the due process of the law.”

PKR embarked on a nationwide campaign yesterday, asking people with complaints that the indelible ink used in the May 5 general election can be washed off easily to file police reports. They have been asked to do this within a week.

PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim lodged a police report on this matter yesterday.

Rightfully, said newly-elected Bukit Katil MP Shamsul Iskandar, the police should just accept the reports filed and investigate them, not harass or scare complainants by taking their pictures.

“Ten complainants in Gombak were subjected to having their pictures taken and in Hulu Klang, there were four,” said the PKR Youth chief.

Shamsul Iskandar noted that this action by the police was a strange move and in some places, the complainants were also questioned by the Special Branch officers who took their statements.

‘Stop intimidation and scare tactics’

He also said that some of the complainants told him that the police asked them who instructed them to lodge their reports.

NONE“Imagine this happening in Selangor. What will happen if such scare and intimidation tactics take place in the other states?” he said, adding that he would lodge a report in Malacca tomorrow to see if this also happened there.

Shamsul Iskandar urged the police to cease immediately their harassment tactics, for their duty should be to investigate why the ink does not lasts long as it is supposed to

A complainant in Brickfields also claimed the police officer questioned him on whether he had been paid by anybody to lodge his report.

Another complainant who had tried to lodge a complaint in Damansara was told to lodge the report in Jinjang, since she had voted there.

However, she lodged her report in Damansara, since she worked in that area.

Normally, the police are required to accept any report made and if the incident did not take place in the locality the report was made, that report would be referred to the station where the incident occurred.

NONEAsked to comment on the complaints of harassment from people filing reports on the indelible ink used in GE13, Bukit Aman public relations chief ACP Ramli Mohammed Yusof (left) said he was not aware of the matter.

Ramli said the people should not be afraid of lodging police reports as they can go to any police station to lodge any kind of report.

“I do not have the information on this so far. I do not have anybody coming forward to complain to me, except from you (Malaysiakini). I will check on such complaints, if there is anything.

“There should not be any fear at all. The people can just walk in and say, ‘I want to lodge a report’. (There is) nothing that bars anyone from lodging any report at all,” Ramli added.

Malaysia’s 13th General Election: Rising Citizen Participation – Analysis

Posted: 28 May 2013 12:08 AM PDT

eurasiareview

Malaysia's much anticipated 13th general election saw a rise in citizen participation. This poses a new challenge for the country's political elite: how to respond to this change.

Malaysia

MALAYSIA

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHILE MALAYSIA'S 13th general election saw an intense contest between the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) and the opposition Pakatan Rakyat (PR) what is of equal significance has been the participation of ordinary citizens in the process. In the run-up to the elections, many have taken the initiative to be involved – in many different ways through different channels.

The numbers who turned out to vote on 5 May 2013 perhaps reflect this shift in political activism. According to the Election Commission, 85 per cent cast their votes for parliamentary seats while 86 per cent for the state legislative assembly seats. This was the highest number of votes cast in any general election in the country's history. Many researchers have referred to this as the "people's election".

A rapidly changing political landscape

While the country is seeing the beginnings of a new political environment the question remains: how should its political elite respond to such trends?

Recent global events from the Arab Spring to the Occupy Wall Street movement have given the world unexpected glimpses of the power of citizen participation; where demonstrating masses with the means of the Internet as a tool are able to play a significant part in the overthrow of long-standing regimes or in spreading the cause of a movement to many parts of the world.

While many have pointed to the increase in Internet connectivity as one of the main causes of these examples of citizen activism, opinion remains divided. Some analysts caution against reading too much into the effects of the Internet and social media in particular, citing the phenomenon of "clicktivism" as akin to being mere "armchair activists or politicians". They argue that social media provides the means for an easy response which does not translate to actual and substantial participation. However, others are more inclined towards the notion that the improvements in information and communication technologies have empowered the average citizen.

They note that the increase in Internet connectivity has reduced the cost of access to information and networking opportunities, paving the way to new heights in citizen participation. Whichever the case, it appeared that few governments caught up in the Arab Spring saw the signs of these changes and even fewer knew how to manage it effectively.

For Malaysia, an increasingly active citizenry has appeared in the country's political landscape. While the political parties battle it out in the traditional manner of campaign rallies, banners and speeches in mainstream media, the cyberspace was abuzz with Malaysians opining, promoting or assisting others in the run-up to the elections. What is noteworthy is the diverse ways in which citizens have chosen to play their parts in these elections.

Electoral reform campaigns helmed by the Coalition for Free and Fair Elections (Bersih) took on a global character with similar rallies and gatherings being carried out in a number of countries by many interested Malaysians. In the run-up to the elections, various online social initiatives sprung up to provide assistance such as transport arrangements for Malaysians who were planning to return and vote. For example, the Bersih Singapore group coordinated a carpool matching service for Malaysians returning from Singapore to vote. Another example is the "Jom Balik Undi" (Let's go back to vote') campaign started on Facebook, an initiative to encourage overseas Malaysians to return and vote.

Courting the active stakeholders

Apart from this, there are citizens who chose to participate in a more direct manner: many have spent their time training and volunteering as polling agents or as citizen election observers under initiatives run by a number of civil society groups such as the Merdeka Centre and Ideas.

The increasingly active political landscape has not escaped the attention of the country's political establishment. Many of the country's political parties and politicians have Facebook and twitter accounts, from the Prime Minister himself to prominent members of the opposition parties. While ordinary citizens can connect with politicians and receive updated news, whether this sufficiently engages today's politically active citizens is unclear. Why does this matter?

Social media analysts have predicted a worldwide trend emerging, leading to a time when almost everyone on earth will be connected through advancement in technology. This will bring about profound effects on many established concepts such as citizenship and governance, significantly reallocating the concentration of power from states and institutions to the people. In such a case, established institutions and hierarchies would have to learn to adapt or risk becoming obsolete.

Malaysia on the cusp of change

Malaysia's political landscape appears to be on the cusp of change: as the country's citizens become more technologically empowered to take action there is a need to rethink the ways in which to engage such communities. The means to do so look set to be the beginning of a journey in redefining the relationship between the country's political elite and its citizens.

At this juncture, two observations can be made. Firstly, the trend shows a level of participation that transcends just following tweets or updates. The underlying motivation appears to be one of active engagement, of a deeper and more committed involvement in issues that matter. Hence, new ways of engaging these citizens need to be considered.

Secondly but more importantly, channelling the commitment and energies of such groups should be seen to be beneficial to the nation as a whole. What is not helpful is to wrongly interpret such involvement as being in any way partisan or anti-establishment. This would just act to alienate genuine interest that would bring the country to higher levels of democratic maturity – in line with what may already be happening globally.

Perbandingan Zul Noordin menggunakan pertandingan badminton mencerminkan jahil tentang ketidakadilan sistem pilihan raya

Posted: 28 May 2013 12:00 AM PDT

The  Malaysian Insider

Semalam Naib Presiden Pertubuhan Pribumi Malaysia (Perkasa), Zulkifli Noordin, menghasilkan satu rencana yang telah dicetak di dalam Utusan Malaysia.

Beliau dalam rencana yang bertajuk "Mitos undi popular PRU-13" ini telah menggunakan pertandingan badminton untuk menyangkal dakwaan Pakatan Rakyat (PR) tentang ketidakadilan sistem "first-past-the-post" di bawah pemerintahan Barisan Nasional (BN).

Beliau telah menghasilkan tulisan seperti yang berikut dan saya memetik:

 "Bayangkan dalam pertandingan akhir badminton Piala All-Malaysia di mana Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak menentang Anwar, keputusannya seperti berikut:

1. Set 1 — Najib 21 Anwar 19;

2. Set 2 — Anwar 21 Najib 03;

3. Set 3 — Najib 21 Anwar 19.

"Apabila pengadil mengumumkan Najib menang dengan 2-1, Anwar tiba-tiba bangkit melalak mendakwa dia patut menang kerana mendapat 59 poin atau 57% daripada jumlah keseluruhan point pertandingan (sebanyak 104); sedangkan Najib hanya mendapat 45 point atau 43% daripada keseluruhan point pertandingan!"

Tulisan ini mencerminkan kejahilan Zulkifli tentang ketidakadilan sistem politik Malaysia di mana ianya semakin tenat di bawah pemerintahan BN lebih daripada 50 tahun.

Saya terkejut kerana Zulkifli tergamak menggunakan pertandingan badminton sebagai tolok perbandingan.

Memang itu peraturan pertandingan badminton tetapi adakah Zulkifli tahu bahawa pengadil dalam permainan badminton perlu berlaku adil dan saksama?

Adakah beliau juga tahu bahawa kedua-dua pihak yang bertanding dalam pertandingan badminton sebenarnya bermain dalam gelanggang yang sama rata dan adil (level playing field)?

Sistem pilihan raya Malaysia telah kehilangan kedua-dua aspek yang sangat penting ini untuk memelihara keadilan dan kebebasan perjalanan pilihan raya.

Memang Malaysia menggunakan cara "first-past-the-post" seperti United Kingdom, tetapi masalah di Malaysia ialah perbezaan saiz sesuatu kawasan parlimen berbanding dengan sebuah yang lain adalah terlalu besar.

Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) memberi pelbagai alasan.

Antaranya kawasan parlimen di luar bandar disempadankan dengan lebih kecil untuk memudahkan wakil rakyatnya memberi perkhidmatan yang lebih baik kepada rakyat luar bandar.

Hakikatnya ialah sesama kawasan parlimen luar bandar pun terdapat perbezaan yang amat ketara.

Contohnya ialah kawasan parlimen Hulu Selangor yang mempunyai lebih 80,000 orang pengundi sementara kawasan parlimen Sungai Besar dan Sabak Bernam hanya separuh daripada Hulu Selangor biarpun kesemua kerusi ini terletak di kawasan luar bandar.

Selain itu, PR juga tidak diberi akses yang adil dan saksama oleh media aliran utama, khususnya media cetak, stesyen televisyen dan radio berbahasan Malaysia dan Inggeris.

Ini menjadikan PR menghadapi masalah untuk menyampaikan dasar-dasarnya kepada masyarakat luar bandar yang rata-ratanya bergantung kepada media cetak untuk mendapatkan maklumat tentang pilihan raya.

Tidak perlu disebut pula masalah politik wang, pengundi-pengundi hantu dan masalah-masalah lain yang telah dan akan dibangkitkan oleh calon-calon tertentu dalam petisyen pilihan raya mereka.

Bagaimanakah keadaan yang senget dan berat sebelah ini boleh dibandingkan dengan pertandingan badminton yang mempunyai peraturan yang jauh lebih adil?

Barangkali hanya Zulkifli sahaja yang mempunyai jawapannya yang tersendiri sedangkan kebanyakan rakyat Malaysia masih tidak terima bagaimana BN boleh memerintah Malaysia dengan hanya 47 peratus undi sedangkan 51 peratus pengundi telah memilih PR.

Is one bangsa of M’sians plausible?

Posted: 27 May 2013 08:34 PM PDT

Malaysiakini

Truth and reconciliation about things Malaysian must start at the beginning, i.e. at creation, and then move towards the present.

Otherwise, such words and phrases are pointless verbiage and meaningless chatter. It does not make it right just because a 56-year-old government says so.

Let us start with the facts:

1. Persekutuan Tanah Malaya was legitimised as a modern legal entity in 1948.  But, we were a British colony then.

azlan2. In 1957, the same colony became the Federation of Malaya under a brand new constitution, which defined all legal premises and understandings of the newer reality. These legalities were part and parcel of the social arrangements.

3. The new nation had nine Malay states and two Straits Settlements; and for the first time an Agong or Head of State or King of the new Federation was established.

4. The constitution defined all truths and reality about this new federation and even went as far as to declare the nine sultans as the head of Islam in each state, and made them all guardians of Malay culture and traditions.

5. The constitution also declared itself as the supreme law of the federation; which is an absolute and unconditional statement, but which is difficult to deny or change without unravelling all other in-built truths.

6. In 1963, the Federation of Malaysia was formed to make a new nation-state, premised upon the Malayan peninsula but also framing an even newer political entity made up of four new partners. Singapore left after two years, and thus leaving just three partners of the Federation of Malaysia.

Now, my question of import to establish my Bangsa Malaysia question: Is Malaysia made up of three independent states or 14 post-colonial entities?

azlanOur so-called 'Jalur Gemilang' the Federation of Malaysia flag, has 14 well symbolised emblems incorporated in it.

My real question is whether such a framing of the symbol representing 14 really a mistake? Was it the truth, or really a badly-constructed restatement of non-accurate historical facts which now may even appear very one-sided?

Please follow my arguments:

- The nine states of the Federation of Malaya were original kingdoms of feudal lords who are artificially concocted into a federation by political might and influence of colonial masters rather than by some notions of real or true history premised only upon ethnicity, or geography, or past history.

- The two Straits Settlements of Malacca and Penang were colonial territories by equally historical factors. Singapore was almost identical but had a different treatment.

- The two States of Sabah and Sarawak were post-Independent colonial entities who had agreed to form a new Malaysian state with two other states of Singapore and Malaya.

azlanTherefore, we have the original federation of 11 sub-regions, which we call the 'states of Malaya' (or nine tanah-tanah Melayu plus the two Straits Settlements).

Then, we have two independent Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak which joined Malaya to make the new Federation of Malaysia. Singapore left the federation in 1965 to become an independent entity.

My problem with the current interpretation of the meanings in the federal constitution are as follows; but which also makes the logic of 'ketuanan Melayu' unacceptable as a flawed concept, unless we believe in non-facts and untruths.

My 1BangsaMalaysia argument

'Bangsa Malaysia' was a conceptual vision of one people-group (of multiple ethnicities) of one nation-state as originally verbalised by Dr Mahathir Mohamad when prime minister in 1981.

His speech was delivered in English at an event organised by ISIS and had been crafted by Dr Nordin Sopiee. I do not believe my facts are wrong.

Therefore, the rest of my argument is:

  • The concept of 'Bangsa Malaysia' is not a Melayu concept, even if drafted by and delivered by two technical Melayus. It was an international concept of a new and modern nation-state of one aspiration and people group who share a common vision and choose to call them by that national identity.
  • While the Melayu word ‘bangsa’ also means race, that was not the intended meaning and application of the word in the speech delivered in English to an international audience.
  • I would further argue that the word in Anglicised form is really the new meaning which transcends race or ethnicity while framing a new national identity. Therefore Bangsa Malaysians are a new people-group of a new nation-state called Malaysia even if made up only of Malayans, Sabahans, and Sarawakians.
  • Therefore, if we borrow the concept of '1Malaysia' and now apply it to the 'Bangsa Malaysia' concept, it can only become the one Bangsa of Malaysians who make up this nation-state we call Malaysia. There cannot be 1Malaysia and multiple other entities at the same time.

To my mind and heart, this must become our agenda as a nation-state we call 1Malaysia to move forward, as a united people who learn to respect the federal constitution and all other preservations and protections given and assured by the same document.

We cannot now refuse the rule of law, as we are already a nation-state ruled by laws and provisions within the same document that constitutes all of us.

All Malaysians and consequential corporate institutions allowed by the constitution must come under the same set and rule of law. No one, including the royalty, is above that same law.

May God grant us the wisdom to understand, appreciate and execute this system of the rule of law for all our common good!

Umno Baru ‘takut MATI’

Posted: 27 May 2013 08:32 PM PDT

Malaysiakini

It is simply ironic; Umno Baru's Najib Abdul Razak, has urged the BN coalition to adapt so that it can maintain its relevance in the future – but behind closed doors, all the Umno Baru politicians fear change.

Why? They fear that Umno Baru will cease to exist because of Meritocracy, Accountability, Transparency and Integrity (MATI) – qualities which no Umno Baru politician displays or can ever hope to attain.

It is alleged that Umno Baru politicians laugh at this MATI joke because they realise the significance of adopting the MATI principles, as MATI means 'death' in Malay.

Umno Baru tyrants have exploited the rakyat for their own ends, but anyone who has met Najib or former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad will be struck by their apparent friendliness and kindly manner. They will be surprised that despite what is written about them; their alleged arrogance and the alleged corruptions carried out on their behalf, they are very different in person.

That is why it is important for members of the rakyat, to understand that the public persona of these men is just a facade. Behind the public masks, lurk other people – men who are responsible for dividing the rakyat and plundering the nation.

Mahathir started off by separating the rakyat into 'superior' Malays versus the 'inferior' non-Malays. Each group was then further sub-divided. Malays were separated into ordinary Malays and Umno Baru-putras.

Najib continued Mahathir's work – for instance, in Najib's cabinet, the 'divide and rule' concept is used to keep the Indians at bay. This can be seen as Hindraf's P Waythamoorthy eats out of one hand, whilst the MIC representative feeds from the other. Najib reinforces our prejudices by rewarding one group, only if they do as they are told.

The environment which Umno Baru created stifles national unity. The brainwashing of Malaysians has reached epidemic levels. We do not require the presence of people in uniform to make us obey.

Our grandparents thought nothing of entering a Chinese kedai kopi (coffeeshop) for refreshments. Today, when I enter a Chinese coffeeshop to meet a friend, I am amazed at the shocked stares of people along the five-foot way. Worse still, the coffeeshop owner looks anxious and is eager for me to leave quickly. He is afraid that he will incur the wrath of the authorities.

Unity begins at home

Our society has descended into a social morass, and yet these Malaysians – who react like this in Malaysia – have no reservations when they are overseas.

azlanBy dividing the rakyat into groups of "them" and "us", Umno Baru has created a community of overbearing Malays. These people demand that non-Malays treat them with deference. Non-Malays have related their experiences during open house celebrations. They claim that to accommodate their Muslim friends, they would prepare halal food on new crockery and cutlery, but Malays simply snub their efforts.

Unity, like charity, should always begin at home. These may be insignificant acts, but their consequences are enough to widen the gulf between the races.

Despite the injustices in the country, there are many people who refuse to become involved. They are content to watch from the sidelines and say nothing, thus prolonging everyone's suffering.

Do these people, who are not willing to intervene, condone the lack of meritocracy in the nation? The award of scholarships to students is masked in secrecy. What will happen when their children are denied a place at university? Why should our best scholars end up in Singapore or beyond?

Why are some able and financially secure companies unable to bid successfully for government tenders? Why are the children of politicians, with little or no experience, able to win multi-billion ringgit projects?

When it comes to accountability, are these bystanders not worried about the future of their country? The new inspector-general of police (IGP) Khalid Abu Bakar has vowed to curb "illegal" rallies, but he has failed to find the men guilty of the increasing numbers of deaths in police custody.

Extremists are let off, and crime is reportedly rising. Is there any accountability in the police force? Khalid claims that he is not politically motivated and yet his actions defy his words.

The new Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has wasted his superior education. Cheating, crime and corruption are wrong, although he has maintained that there was "not a shred of evidence" of electoral fraud in GE13.

How can you trust a man who once defended former Women's Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, who was embroiled in the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) scandal? The NFC was allegedly controlled by her husband and children, who misappropriated soft loans to feather their own nests.

Many government projects lack transparency and yet when they fail, it is the taxpayer who picks up the tab. The Penang administration claims that it practises transparency in awarding projects and that the majority of the awards are won by bumiputera contractors. If the Penang state government can achieve this, there is no reason why it cannot be accomplished at the federal level.

‘BN’s lack of integrity’

Waythamoorthy of Hindraf spoke at a University of London (School of African and Oriental Studies) lecture on 'The Marginalisation of Malaysia's Minority Indian Community' in early 2012, where he was asked about the lack of integrity of Malaysian politicians. He agreed that Malaysian politicians were without honour. Little did anyone realise that one year later, he would join the ranks of politicians without integrity.

NONEYoung student activist Adam Adli Abdul Halim (left) has more integrity than the whole BN government combined. He is worried about the future of the country, whereas the BN politicians are worried about the future of their pockets.

Najib's crackdown on dissenters is a show of intimidation. He is afraid that the people's power will topple him and Umno Baru in the same way that a rising tide of anger toppled some north African regimes.

Anyone who thinks that Umno Baru will adapt, or that the Election Commission (EC) will reform and ensure a free and fair GE14, is seriously deluded.

Before GE13, Umno Baru tried to wear down the opposition leader with a barrage of legal persecution. After GE13, Umno Baru is still attempting to quash the will of the people. They have no incentive to clean up the electoral system.

Umno Baru said they would reform, but they failed. When the public rallied to show their disgust, there was a large-scale brutal crackdown on dissenters. Very soon, the proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST) will cause the prices of ordinary goods to increase further. This – linked with corruption that remains unchecked – will cause our economy to suffer.

Umno Baru politicians have betrayed us and tried to pit Malaysians against one another. 10 years ago, one would not have thought of Malaysians as having solidarity. Today, they are united and will be able to kill off this tyrannical rule.

Anwar: Thousands of reports so far against indelible ink fiasco

Posted: 27 May 2013 08:30 PM PDT

The Malaysian Insider

Thousands are swarming police stations nationwide to lodge reports on the alleged failure of the indelible ink used in the recent general election, answering Pakatan Rakyat's (PR) call for help with its campaign to prove cheating during Election 2013, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today.

The PR de facto leader, who lodged the same report this afternoon at the Tropicana police station here with his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, told a press conference that the reports proved an attempt by the authorities to manipulate the results of the polls.

"We have thousands (of reports) thus far… I don't have the official figures but today, I've been informed that all over the country, similar reports have been made.

"We did announce that only those who could satisfy the position, i.e. that they did vote and secondly, that the black ink disappeared either on the first or following day (of the polls)," he said after lodging the report.

At a mammoth NGO-organised rally to protest the polls result last Saturday, PR had urged the public to lodge police reports if they had experienced the alleged premature washing-off of the indelible ink from their fingers on Polling Day.

He said they should do so from Sunday onward up until Monday and send copies of the reports to PR.

"This is to show the power and might of the people. We challenge you according to due process. We also respect the rule of law," the Permatang Pauh MP said.

He said PR wanted to present a large barrel of the people's police reports of the Election Commission's (EC) alleged fraud in court.In his police report today, Anwar claimed that he had managed to remove the indelible ink from his finger by 5pm, after he voted in Kubang Semang, Permatang Pauh, in Penang, at 9.30am on May 5.

He said the easy removal of the ink was evidence enough that the election had not been free and fair as promised by the Barisan Nasional (BN) government.

"This so-called indelible ink is a deceitful attempt by the EC to cheat and manipulate. My personal experience showed… by 5pm it (the ink) was all clear… no sign of any black mark on my finger.

"I believe many more Malaysians will continue to show the extent of fraud and mass rigging (during the polls)," he said.

Asked what he planned to do with the police reports lodged, Anwar said the simple fiasco over the ink discredits the prime minister and the EC's denial of irregularities or fraud during the election.

He accused the authorities of wilfully using the indelible ink despite knowing that it was removable for the purpose of cheating.

Election 2013 saw the ruling BN returned to power with 133 federal seats to PR's 89 seats despite losing the popular vote by scoring just 48 per cent to PR's 51 per cent.

PR leaders have maintained that Election 2013 was fraught with irregularities, starting from the use of an indelible ink that was not indelible to discrepancies in the voter roll and outright cheating on polling day itself through the alleged use of phantom voters and electricity blackouts.

The federal opposition pact has organised a host of rallies nationwide to protest the results of the election, insisting that it had been stolen from them by BN.

Doa mohon diberkati pada bulan Rejab, Syaaban dan ditemukan dengan Ramadhan

Dari Anas bin Malik r.a. berkata, bahwa Rasulullah saw. apabila masuk bulan Rajab selalu berdoa, "Allahuma bariklana fii rajab wa sya'ban, wa balighna ramadan."

Ertinya: Ya Allah, berkatkanlah kami (limpahkanlah kasih sayang kepada kami) dalam bulan Rajab dan Sya'ban; dan temukanlah kami dengan bulan Ramadan.
