Time to Free Malaysia
January 15, 2012
Time to Free Malaysia
by Dean Johns (01-11-12) @www.malaysiakini.com
Failing an interest which might nonetheless be done by a prosecution, Anwar Ibrahim is eventually giveaway of his ultimate spurious sodomy assign as well as a possibility of up to 20 years in jail.
And now, it's time for a Malaysian people to win their freedom from 50-plus years or a homogeneous of some-more than two life sentences of seizure as well as empoisonment by a UMNO-BN regime.
Though it could be argued which a good most Malaysians have nobody though themselves to censure for this punishing experience, carrying effectively hold themselves serf by choosing by casting votes for their oppressors so regularly as well as for so long.
Some, of course, have supported a powers-that-be in lapse for sparse handouts or promises of special privileges for suitably pacifist as well as grateful inmates of a system. But a usually crime or offence which most of a UMNO-BN regime's serf voters have been guilty of, it seems to me, is ignorance.
It is a stupidity which has been combined as well as perpetuated by a system of administration itself by walls of central secrecy as well as barricades of media bias, resourceful overpower as well as lies, all delicately guarded by corrupt as well as politically-partisan Police, hopelessly compromised law officers as well as a notoriously compliant judiciary.
Yet a male most obliged for this disgraceful state of affairs, former prime apportion Dr Mahathir Mohamad, has hailed a excul! pation o f Anwar Ibrahim upon a ultimate sodomy assign opposite him as proof which there is "no supervision conspiracy or division in a country's judiciary".
Mahathir, a very male who destroyed a integrity of Malaysia's law by firing a Lord President of a (then) Supreme Court as well as multiform alternative heading jurists back in 1987, afterwards went upon to explain which "the country's law was regularly eccentric as well as was not shabby by any quarters, together with a supervision or opposition, in nearing during any decision".
Same fibbing tone
Current Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak took a same fibbing line, declaring which "the verdict shows once again which notwithstanding what most have claimed, a Malaysian law is an eccentric establishment where conjunction politics nor politicians have any influence over a management of justice."
And a operative now obliged for a political partisanship of Malaysia's ignorance-promoting mainstream media, Information Minister Rais Yatim, similarly claimed which a exculpation of Anwar "proves which Malaysia's courts have been giveaway of manipulation".
In fact, this box appears to me as well as most others to prove utterly a opposite. The sodomy assign itself was obviously manufactured. The two-year hearing was riddled with irregularities unfairly as well as unjustly favoring a prosecution.
And a "not guilty" verdict was so evidently a incorporate to Anwar sympathisers forward of a looming general choosing which it stank to tall heaven of system of administration manipulation.
Manipulation identical to which so glaringly clear in a good most alternative infamous trials, or rather mistrials, from which of a purported murderers of a Mongolian translator concerned in a Sco! rpene su bmarine scandal, Altantuya Shaariibuu, to a conviction as well as ridiculously light sentencing of Khir Toyo for crime as well as a so-called "Datuk T" contingent for publishing a racy DVD portraying an Anwar Ibrahim look-alike carrying sex with a prostitute.
But even some-more of an deception upon a Malaysian people than miscarriages of justice similar to a Anwar, Altantuya, Khir Toyo, Datuk T as well as alternative show-trials have been all a large no-trials.
Routine failure to take to court or even properly examine a hundreds, if not thousands, of killings of 'suspects' in military 'shoot-outs' as well as central custody, for example. As in a box of a late Ananthan Kugan, who was deemed to have succumbed to "fluid in a lungs" notwithstanding Internet images of his corpse obviously showing justification of brutal beatings as well as torture.
Or in a even some-more notorious box of Teoh Beng Hock, a immature witness whose genocide in a control of a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was found by an inquest, as well as afterwards a stately commission, to be due to "neither suicide nor homicide," so which no suspect killers could be identified.
No-trials for killing as well as outright murder, however, have been only a partial of a low mark Malaysians have been forced to possibly similar to or lump during 54 years in UMNO-BN custody.
They've also been robbed of billions upon billions of their hard-earned ringgit as well as their nation's natural resources as well as expected to stand hopelessly, helplessly by as well as watch a culprits live tall upon a hog upon a proceeds.
Hardly any specific member in large regime-sponsored theft, fraud as well as embezzlement can legally be declared by me or anyone else, of course, as a multitude of suspicions as well as allegations have resulted in changed few prosecutions as well as even less convictions.
Suffice to mention, therefore, which large large financial scandals involving commodity, power, H2O as well as alternative monopolies, share issues, swaps as well as trades, 'soft' supervision loans, land-grabs, utility as well as airline privatisation, motor-vehicle import capitulation permits, taxi licences as well as highway fee concessions have come as well as left unpunished before such comparatively recent specific examples as a Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) fiasco as well as a National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) scam.
Astonishing business accumen
And a good most distinguished families, particularly those of former prime apportion Mahathir, Sarawak Chief Minister Mahmud "The Termite" Taib as well as stream Prime Minister Najib, have grown so abounding which they must have utterly startling business accumen, or else, as First Lady Rosmah Mansor explained in anxiety to her proposed purchase of a multi-million-ringgit solid ring, been mighty savers since they were young.
Of march any Malaysian is giveaway to join UMNO or a single of a racially-appropriate bloc parties in a BN in a goal of scoring a "get-out-of-jail-free" card as well as a chance to squeeze a share of a loot.
But most people, it seems to me, would most rather simply be free. Free, similar to Anwar Ibrahim is, during least for now, from a hazard of selective, antagonistic assign under UMNO-BN's slew of unconstitutional, odious Acts of hang-up as well as aggression opposite opponents or protesters.
Free from regulations written to keep a trusting undeveloped as well as a ! guilty i n government, similar to UMNO-BN's Official Secrets Act, Printing, Presses as well as Publications Act as well as a Universities as well as University Colleges Act.
Free from domination by those who consider their fibbing word to be law, as well as themselves as well as their friends, families as well as cronies to be defence from assign for their crimes.
Free, in short, from a squad of goons so sum as to go to any length, from fraudulent legislative 'reform' to pulling a strings of a puppet judiciary, to try as well as supply nonetheless an additional general choosing in foster of keeping a future as well as fortunes of Malaysia as well as Malaysians in UMNO-BN's greedy grasp.

Drought of brand brand brand brand new ideas threatens Pakatan's Putrajaya bid
ANALYSIS More than a year upon after unveiling a Buku Jingga book of reforms, Pakatan Rakyat (PR) appears to have moved small from where it was during a prior gathering in Penang.
Eschewing bold moves for refried ideas laid out in a Buku Jingga, PR looked less a forward-looking pact during a third gathering in Alor Star yesterday than a single calm to offer old booze in brand brand brand brand new bottles.
This was most transparent in PR's decision to repackage four policy thrusts from a 13-month-old master devise as "Tawaran Jingga", accompanied by well-rehearsed speeches touting a past successes of opposition-led states.
While PR might have been buoyed by a surprise acquittal of a leader, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, small of this renewed effect as well as optimism went in to solution pass issues still plaguing a sometimes querulous alliance.
Elephants in a room
Still hanging over a antithesis similar to a Sword of Damocles is a question of a shadow Cabinet, which Anwar promised to set up in 2009 whilst stumping during a Bukit Gantang by-election.
PR has backpedalled from a oath ever since, citing a lack of resources as a reason why it cannot form a together Cabinet. Also going unanswered was a! hudud q uestion, which has upon many occasions stretched differently considerate ties between Islamist PAS as well as a secular, infancy Chinese DAP.
This despite a very transparent as well as benefaction risk a prickly chestnut still poses to PR, carrying already damaged a back of a prior short-lived antithesis coalition, Barisan Alternatif, in 2001.
The lone voice of reason in this pleasantness was DAP authority Karpal Singh, who pronounced final night: "We contingency finalise a hudud issue as soon as possible. If you don't, you will face problems helming a nation."
The other side
All this as Barisan Nasional (BN) labours hard to chip divided during PR's share of middle Malaysia with a raft of reforms calculated to enamour it to a civic demographic as well as a rapidly flourishing ranks of young, brand brand brand brand new voters.
The Najib administration department has additionally moved fast to shore up a farming as well as civic bad vote base by liberally dishing out millions in money to take a sting out of rapidly rising inflation.
So whilst a antithesis might have done poignant inroads in to Negeri Sembilan and, to a lesser extent, east Malaysia, it will likely lose seats to BN in Kelantan where Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat has been mentri besar for some-more than 20 years or even a state of Kedah where both opposition pacts have been seen as weak.
Perak remains a toss-up, say analysts, as BN has been working hard to consolidate a grip upon a state it took over pleasantness of three defections in 2009, roughly a year after losing it in Election 2008.
Where to from here
PR should treat a achievements as self-evident as they! should be as well as move fast to finalise pass issues rather than waste a second chance during domestic life regurgitating tired tales.
Its manifold member parties contingency lay down together as well as hash out once as well as for all benefaction problems rather than demeanour to a past for succour, so it might step in to a future with transparent vision.
If they cannot do this for their own sakes then during slightest do it for electorate who might be extraordinary about a pact's third act: "But what happens after?"
But with elections looming, only time will tell if this will be too little, too late for PR, which outlayed what might well be a final gathering prior to snap polls have been called gazing in a wrong direction. Drought of brand brand brand brand new ideas threatens Pakatan's Putrajaya bid

American Nietzsche By Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen Book Review
In 1889, when Friedrich Nietzsche suffered a mental fall which ended his career, he was probably unknown. Yet by a time of his death in 1900 at a age of 55, he had turn a philosophical celebrity of his age. From Russia to America, admirers echoed his estimation of himself as a huge figure who could alter a march of history: "I am by distant a many distressing human being which has existed so far; this does not obviate a possibility which you shall be a many beneficial." His origins were usual for a role. The son of a small-town Lutheran minister, he steeped himself in exemplary literature whilst flourishing up in eastern Germany. When he was 24, he cumulative a professorship in Basel, Switzerland, as well as a few years after published his initial book, "The Birth of Tragedy." Against a usual view of a really old Greeks as a summary of serene equipoise, Nietzsche emphasized a "Dionysian" excess as well as frenzy which complemented a "Apollonian" virtues of distinctness as well as repose. The book's success was limited, as well as a writer was mocked by a single leading classicist as an atavist run amok who should "gather tigers as well as panthers about his knees, though not a girl of Germany."

Times Topic: Friedrich Nietzsche
In fact, he would accumulate none. Suffering from violent migraines, Nietzsche resigned his academic post when he was 34 as well as began a hold up of a little-heeded nomad-intellectual in European resorts. With escalating intensity, he released innovative functions of truth which challenged each element of European civilization. He celebrated a artistic heroism of Beethoven as well as Goethe; denigrated a "slave morality" of Christianity, which transfigured weakness into trait as well as vital strength into sin; as well as called upon a strong in spirit to move about a "transvaluation of all values." The "higher man" or as Nietzsche infrequently called him, a "overman" or "bermensch" did not stoop to enviousness or prolonged for a afterlife; rsther than he willed which his hold up upon earth repeat itself over as well as over just as it was. In after works, Nietzsche wrote with one after another brilliance as well as flourishing megalomania of his disdain for a usual "herd," a dangers of nihilism as well as a possibility which a will to energy is a "Ur-fact of all history." He outlayed his last stricken decade in a care of his mother as well as then his sister, a romantic anti-Semite who would put him in good standing with a German nationalists he despised.
As Nietzsche faltered, his papers began to spread. Small circles of European radicals, literary aristocrats as well as misfits styled themselves neophyte bermenschen, ready to conform a brand brand new values a age demanded. The German connoisseur Count Harry Kessler plotted to set up a Nietzsche commemorative in Weimar with a stadium, a temple as well as a statue; it would, he hoped, effect "the transposition of a celebrity of Nietzsche into a grand architectural formula" expressing "the togetherness of lightness, of happiness as well as of power." But if Nietzsche desirous blessedness as well as devotion, he also undetermined as well as dism! ayed. A sickly hermit with impeccable manners, he praised cruelty as well as strength. He decried Christianity as "a crime against life" even as he claimed which it done male interesting for a initial time, as well as he proposed which all you know is merely a prejudiced "perspective knowing" even as he composed some of a many sure remarks ever made: "God is dead"; "It is only as an cultured phenomenon which existence as well as a world have been evermore justified"; "There have been no facts, only interpretations."
From a start, Nietzsche's American readers were bewitched as well as bedeviled. His loathing of Christian asceticism, middle-class tenderness as well as approved boost was an assault upon 19th-century America's apparently many salient characteristics. For which really reason, he captivated young Americans who felt estranged from their culture, as well as has one after another to do so. But today's inescapable as well as confusing Nietzsche is not necessarily a same Nietzsche who desirous readers in a past; as well as it's a achievement of Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen's "American Nietzsche" to uncover how which is a case.
Though Nietzsche loathed a left, he was loved by it. As Ratner-Rosenhagen explains, a anarchists as well as "romantic radicals" as well as a "literary cosmopolitans of varying political persuasions" who welcomed him to America believed they had found a perfect manifestation of Emerson's Poet, for whom a thought is "alive, . . . similar to a spirit of a plant or an animal." To read Nietzsche was to strike an complete civilization's stopping divide in between thinking as well as feeling. Isadora Duncan pronounced he "ravished my being," whilst both Jack London as well as Eugene O'Neill saw him as their Christ. Emma Goldman ended her intrigue with a Austrian anarchist Ed Brady since he didn't conclude a good writer who had taken her to "undreamed-of heights." For such readers, "Thus Spoke Zarathustra," with a incantatory calls for a race of overmen to establish a brand brand! new pro bity which would "remain faithful to a earth," was a true Nietzsche. Thrilling to a rhapsodies, they felt confirmed in their judgment which pious, stultifying America was no place for a serious thinker. Ratner-Rosenhagen easily writes, "Many years prior to members of this generation were 'lost' in Europe, they felt at home in Nietzsche, as well as homeless in modern America."

Michel Houellebecqs Version of the American Thriller
Photograph of Michel Houellebecq by Michael Lionstar
Michel Houellebecq's new novel is the weird air plant of the book: it feeds off atmosphere, rsther than than soil. The climate of "The Map as good as the Territory" is really still as good as really strange, as if something bad had only been detonated over it. The same bad thing may additionally have convulsed France, where the story is set, given Houellebecq's Paris exists in the state of flagrant social breakdown as good as the countryside has turn an emptied thesis park of itself. This "was exactly what the universe would look like," the sense thinks upon entering the lifelike French encampment that only second-home-owners can afford to buy into, "after the blast of an intergalactic proton bomb."
In 2010, this novel, Houellebecq's fifth, won the Prix Goncourt, France's highest well read prize, an honor his fans felt was prolonged overdue. You can see why "The Map as good as the Territory" might strike the esteem jury as more, well, honorable than Houellebecq's previous books. It deals with art as good as architecture, rsther than than sex tourism. It is set in galleries as good as villages rsther than than S-M clubs as good as massage parlors. Only the singular paean to Thai prostitutes is offered up, as good as then in the indifferent murmur. The prose, nonetheless often brief as good as crude in the manner that has made Houellebecq notorious, is additionally during times lyrical. (The interpretation is smooth as good as competent, giving the pungent taste of Houellebecq's opposite modes: archly sarcastic, cheerily pedantic, with malice aforethought brutal.) Not the singular soixante-huitard (former French radical student) or ex-hippie makes an idiotic or reprehensible remark. Only the singular unattractive lady has her failings itemized, a! s good a s she's differently likable. Muslim immigrants conjunction conflict nor come under attack.
Instead, the good-looking artist declared Jed Martin achieves uncommon professional success; earns the adore of Olga, the Russian publicist who "corresponded perfectly to the image of Slavic beauty as popularized by displaying agencies given the fall of the U.S.S.R."; as good as joins the global art-world elite. A important author declared Michel Houellebecq writes catalog copy for the singular of Martin's shows. There's the hideous murder, the scold if world-weary inspector, an astonishing solution to the crime. The themes have been the great ones: art, death, informative decline.
If this outline makes "The Map as good as the Territory" receptive to advice arrange of similar to the American-thriller chronicle of the Houellebecq novel, that's given it is. In outline, anyway. You really get the sense that Houellebecq thinks American thrillers have been the representative genre of the age, only as the airports where such novels have been sold have turn its characteristic architectural form. It is no fluke that multiform scenes in the novel take place in, as good as embody meditations on, airports. This is Houellebecq's hommage la globalisation.
It's additionally his entrance of age. A crony of mine calls this novel Houellebecq's "Annie Hall," the outline that strikes me as apt for dual reasons. First, because, similar to Woody Allen in that movie, Houellebecq portrays himself here reduction as the clown than as the established artist he has become, however ambivalently, as good as grapples with his place in the culture. Second, given this novel is extremely funny, in the dark, disconcerting mode of that both Allen as good as Houellebecq have been masters.
Like any product aimed during the universe market, "The Map as good as the Territory" traffics in code names. No automobile is ever only the car; it's an Audi A6 allroad, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, the Lexus. Jed doesn't only shop! for foo d, he goes to his Casino hypermarket, or he studies the operation of Norwegian mineral waters available during the Sushi Warehouse during the 2E wing of the Roissy airport, before opting for Husqvarna.
What distinguishes this from an tangible airfield novel is that Houellebecq subjects these brands to extended semiotic analysis. "Subtle hedonists, these Norwegians," Jed thinks as he pauses over the water, pleased "that so many opposite forms of purity could exist." Houellebecq devotes the page as good as the half to the tighten reading of the direction manual for Jed's Samsung ZRT-AV2 camera. The sense declared "Houellebecq" weeps during the thought that his 3 favorite consumer equipment Paraboot upon foot boots, the Canon Libris laptop-printer combination as good as the Camel Legend parka have been discontinued. "It's brutal," he says, lamenting the irresponsibility of product-line managers who turn customers' lives in to "an unconstrained erratic in between evermore modified product lines." You're probably meditative that such graduate-student-level disquisitions upon consumerism have got to be silly as good as boring. Au contraire! In Houellebecq's hands, they're delightful, as technologically good informed as the review upon CNet as good as as amusing as the riff in the Quentin Tarantino movie.
The characters, too, have the friendly laxity of general brands. Martin, the quintessential lonely artist-hero, has no tighten friends, maintains distant, scold family with his distant, scold father as good as doesn't adore Olga scarcely enough. Being Russian, Olga is warm as good as expressive and, as noted, absurdly gorgeous. "Houellebecq" is the unwashed, depressive bard we've review about in newspapers, nonetheless he drinks the small less. The inspector, Jasselin, is as courteous as good as old-school as the sense from the le Carr novel. He drives the Mercedes Class A, by the way, "the ideal automobile for an old integrate but children, who live in an urban or periurban area, none! theless do not demur to provide themselves from time to time to an escapade."
Being Houellebecquian as good as two-dimensional, any of these total thinks three-dimensional thoughts, or during slightest sincerely engaging ones. Olga, whose pursuit involves retooling the Michelin brand, visits French inns as good as restaurants while upon vacation, as good as muses over the criteria by that they should be judged the more authentically French they are, she decides, the more delectable to Russian as good as Chinese tourists. "Houellebecq" offers shrewd appreciations of forgotten well read total as good as reminds Martin, "We as well have been products . . . informative products. We as well will turn obsolete." Jasselin cogitates suavely upon the psychology of crime as good as the merits of highway rest stops tighten to Paris compared with rest stops over out.

Tawaran Jingga Pakatan Rakyat Bersihkan Malaysia
Di ambang pilihanraya umum ke-13 (PRU 13), negara kembali berdepan dengan pelbagai kemelut dan suasana krisis hasil langsung dari urus-tadbir dan tata-kelola sebuah pemerintahan yang tempang. Sebuah kerajaan yang tidak benar-benar komited untuk mensejahterakan rakyat seluruhnya bahkan meletakkan keutamaannya untuk membela suku-sakat kroni dan membolot kekayaan negara untuk segelintir kelompok penguasa, lazimnya akan berakhir dengan kehidupan rakyat yang serba terhempit dan ternafi dari mengecapi kekayaan dan kemakmuran negara.
Justeru, jurang antara kaya-miskin tampak semakin melebar, kesenjangan pembangunan antara bandar-desa, antara pantai Barat Semenanjung dan negeri pantai Timur-Utara, serta Sabah-Sarawak semakin ketara. Begitu juga hal hutang negara, khasnya hutang awam (Kerajaan Persekutuan) terus membengkak, daya-saing terus menjunam, 'brain-drain' tidak mampu disekat, ketirisan akibat rasuah dan salahguna kuasa dalam sistem 'delivery' berulang setiap tahun dan ekonomi terdedah kepada ancaman kebankrapan hasil pengurusan dan defisit fiskal yang tidak mematuhi tuntutan amalan terbaik-best practice- dan prinsip tata-kelola kewangan pruden.
Lebih parah lagi kerana krisis ini bukan sahaja menyinggung aspek ekonomi dan kewangan akan tetapi melingkungi seluruh dimensi kehidupan bermasyarakat dan bernegara. Kebrentakan ini terpapar jelas dengan pelbagai pola-pola persengkataan yang semakin tajam dan mendalam, di segi pertentangan ras-perkauman, tuntutan kelompok pendukung agama secara sempit dan kelompangan atau 'lacuna' bidang kuasa legal dan perundangan yang kerap disemarakkan api kefanatikan dan kejumudan politik perkauman.
Sementara itu fungsi institusi-institusi kritikal terus terkorban dari berperanan menjadi penyemak-imbang utama yang berkesan kerana terlalu tunduk dan dibelenggui penguasa Eksekutif yang an! gkuh dan rakus memusatkan dan merampas bidang wewenangan kuasa cabang Judisiari dan Legislatif yang terus dimandulkan.
Tegasnya seteru politik kita, Umno-BN telah merosakkan dan menodai institusi-institusi kritikal negara "An Assault upon the Nation" yang sekaligus telah menatijahkan "Kereputan Sistem " secara menyeluruh atau "Systemic Rot".
Suasana ini cukup ngeri dan amat menakutkan, andainya ia berterusan kerana pastinya bakal menggagalkan usaha gigih pelbagai pihak untuk mendayakan negara supaya mampu bersaing dalam arus persaingan tellurian dan serantau yang semakin sengit sekaligus mengancam kesinambungan negara sebagai yang bermaruah, berdaulat dan punya daya-juang dan daya saing yang tinggi.
Berdepan dengan lingkaran krisis yang tidak berhujung ini dan setelah menekuni serta mengenalpasti punca-sebab gejala kebrentakan ini, maka Pakatan Rakyat tampil dengan satu 'Tawaran Jingga' untuk mengundang seluruh rakyat dan pemilik penting-'critical stakeholders' negara ini, agar turut bersama-sama dalam satu gagasan "Membersihkan Malaysia" dari pelbagai kekotoran pengurusan pemerintahan Umno-BN supaya akhirnya kemakmuran dan sumber kekayaan negara mampu dikecapi, dinikmati dan dikongsi bersama oleh seluruh rakyat di negara bertuah ini.
Inilah ertinya 'Merakyatkan Kemakmuran Untuk Semua" dalam satu permufakatan mulia, perkongsian murni dan persefahaman mendalam tuntutan kepelbagaian agama dan budaya agar mampu menghayati sunggguh-sungguh slogan "Sharing The Nation" "Bersama Mengecapi Kemakmuran Negara" .
Tawaran Jingga Huraian Pendekatan
Sesungguhnya, pembentangan 'Tawaran Jingga' ini hanyalah satu prelude kepada 'Tawaran Manifesto' Pakatan Rakyat. Tawaran Jingga ini sekadar menerangkan perbezaan pendekatan Pakatan Rakyat berbanding Umno-Barisan Nasional.
Pendekatan pihak lawan yang bersifat menampilkan ungkapan pelbagai akronim 'ajaib' yang sebenarnya mengusutkan fikiran bermula! dengan NKRA, NKEA, PTK (GTP), SRI, NEM (MEB), ETP, EPP dan panjang lagi kalau dimasukkan agensi-agensi pelaksananya MAMPU, Pemandu, Pemudah, kini TERAJU yang kesemuanya boleh dibawa kepada satu lagi yakni ICU (Unit Penyelarasan Pelaksanaan) ketika sakit dan nazak.
Saya yakin keseluruhan akronim ini dan tindih-tindannya tidak difahami sendiri oleh ramai menteri termasuk YAB PM, kecuali dua menteri pintu belakang (senator) di Jabatan Perdana Menteri itu..yang sentiasa bersedia memberi kuliah yang panjang ketika ditanya sikit oleh Ahli-Ahli Parlimen Pakatan (dan juga BN) di Dewan Rakyat. Inilah dia Program Transformasi Kerajaan (GTP) yang sangat dihajati oleh PM Najib.
Sesungguhnya tidak akan dapat dilakukan Transformasi kecuali dirancang, dilaksana dan diurus module 'Reformasi Menyeluruh' dalam menangani 'kereputan sistem menyeluruh-systemic rot' yang dirobek dan dinodai regim Umno-Barisan Nasional.
Tawaran Jingga kami pula merumuskan pendekatan "Political Economy"[1] atau pendekatan yang benar-benar mencerakinkan kembali kebijakan disiplin ekonomi ini dalam menggarap tuntutan Politik.
Ia adalah disiplin atau bidang ekonomi yang membicarakan bagaimana "keputusan politik mempengaruhi bidang ekonomi atau mercantile outcomes" atau dengan kata lain mudahnya "Perubahan Ekonomi atau 'Economic Changes' hanya akan dapat dipacu dan direalisasikan dengan bersekali dilakukan oleh sesebuah kerajaan akan 'Reformasi Politik'. Sebaliknya pula perlu disedari bagaimana cita-cita "Transformasi Ekonomi" akan gagal dihambat oleh "Kekangan Realiti Politik" seperti yang jelas berlaku dalam pemerintahan Umno-BN.
Ini jelas apa yang telah berlaku dalam pendekatan BN yang masih terus tercari-cari pendekatan yang konsisten. Sebab itu Najib selalu berbolak-balik atau flip-flopping atau 'zigg-zaging'. Najib hampir dinobatkan sebagai the "Father of Flip-Floppers" oleh golongan justeru kerana sikapnya yang kerap tidak tetap. Terlalu banyak contoh yang boleh dibariskan termasuk hal urusan ekonomi seperti EOC d! alam MEB (NEM) atau menangani BERSIH 2.0, PPSMI, pale mutakhir SBPA dan banyak lagi.
Sebab itu dalam NKRA dan PTK (GTP), Najib tidak langsung memberikan kepentingan kepada asepk reformasi politik. Bilakah Najib celik kepentingan Reformasi Politik dan Perlembagaan? Bila digempur dek BERSIH2.0! Hanya selepas 709 BERSIH2.0, Najib terhegeh-hegeh bercakap tentang menangani tuntutan Politik Baru dan membatalkan 3 Ordinan Dharurat (1966, 1969 & 1977), membatalkan Akta Hukuman Buang Daerah 1959; dan mula bercakap tentang memansuhkan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA).
Akan tetapi tembelang Najib terdedah apabila cakap-cakap menteri JPM mendahului beliau apabila mereka menyebut tentang mengantikan ISA dengan dua (2) Akta yang dua-kali lima bahkan lebih drakornian lagi dari ISA.
Sebab itu kebobrokan rasuah, salahguna kuasa dan segala kebejatan penguasa dan elit bisnes yang rakus mesti ditangani dengan reformasi politik, perundangan serta keinsafan dignified dan agama (2). Umno- BN buat-buat tidak faham atau sememang tak faham. Sebab itu kebejatan rasuah dan salah guna kuasa akan berterusan, dulu, kini dan selama-lamanya. Kalau PRU ke-12 ia dilambangi oleh sebuah mahligai seporang ADUN Umno-BN ditengah-tengah sebuah kampong tradisi Melayu di Kelang, kini lambang kebobrokan dalam PRU ke-13 ialah dengan projek NFC-'Lembu dalam Kondo di Bangsar-Singapura' persis membayangkan kegagalan Transformasi Kerajaan Najib!
Maka sebagai pendekatan Pakatan Rakyat, kami cenderung untuk mengambil pendekatan ini yang mengiktiraf bahawa masalah ekonomi akan hanya dapat digarap bersekali dengan reformasi politik. Seteru politik kita pada asalnya tidak mahu mengiktiraf ini. Hanya mutakhir setelah serik kita berpekik baharulah mereka faham.
Tegasnya 'Tawaran Jingga' adalah penyelesaian krisis negara secara bersepadu dan menyeluruh. Tawaran Jingga adalah perumusan penyelesaian komprehensif bagi menangani segala krisis yang juga sifatnya 'menyeluruh dan sempurna' bukan sahaja dari aspek kebobrokan pengurusa! n fiskal dan ekonomi.
Tawaran Jingga kami akan berkisar di sekitar mencapai Dasar-Dasar Bersama:
- Demokrasi yang telus dan tulen untuk memperkasakan ketuanan rakyat (Reformasi Politik)
- Memacu ekonomi berprestasi tinggi yang mampan untuk menjana kemakmuran dan kebajikan kepada semua secara adil (Reformasi Ekonomi)
- Keadilan sosial bagi menjamin pembangunan insan secara menyeluruh (Reformasi Sosial)
- Hubungan persekutuan-negeri dan dasar luar negara yang adil-setara (Government-Governance-Federalisme).
Sebagai prelude kepada Manifesto Pakatan Rakyat, Tawaran Jingga telah cuba mengingatkan semua bahawa pendekatan kami bukan sahaja menambahbaik kerosakan dan kepincangan yang telah dilakukan oleh regim yang lalu. Pendepekatan kami adalah untuk membawa reformasi genuine dalam asas-asas kenegaraan yang telah dirosakkan di segi judisiari, legislatif, persefahaman agama, budaya dan kaum bagi membolehkan kita memacu kemampanan pertumbuhan dan kekayaan (wealth creation) serta perkongsian kemakmuran negara.
Tawaran Jingga bakal didedahkan dari masa ke semasa yang akan memuatkan rencana dasar, polisi dan kebijakan untuk membawa keluar bangsa dan negara dari kemelut yang semakin meruncing ini. Dalam Konvensyen ini, beberapa perkongsian awal tentang i. Dasar FELDA Pakatan Rakyat, ii. Dasar Anti-Monopoli Pakatan Rakyat iii. Dasar Pengukuhan Federalism Pakatan Rakyat iv.Dasar Memperkasakan Perkhidmatan Awam Pakatan Rakyat
Oleh kerana tarikh PRU ke-13 masih sukar diramalkan oleh pundit politik, maka Manifesto Pakatan juga perlu dirahsiakan sehingga ke satu tarikh yang ditentukan kemudian.
Kami bersedia mendengar maklum-balas dari semua pihak agar perumusan penyelesaian kami dalam Tawaran Jingga dan Manifesto PR nanti akan menjadi lebih mentap dan padu lagi.
[1] 'Political Economy' bukanlah bidang baru bahkan hampir sama usia dengan bidang ekonomi itu sendiri. Adalah diakui bahawa penulisan 'seminal-agung' Adam Smith Wealth of Nation (1776) itu se! ndiri ad alah bicara "Political Economy" begitu juga penulisan John Stuart Mill Principles of Political Economy (1848). Berkebetulan Ibn Khaldun ((Tunis-13321406),mendahului Adam Smith dalam menghuraikan teori politik dan ekonomi sekaligus dalam penulisan 'seminal-agung'nya Muqaddimah ((Prolegomena). Adam Smith dikatakan mempelajari dari Ibn Khaldun yang hidup 300 tahun sebelumnya.
[2] Tawaran 'Negara Berkebajikan' PAS memulakan paksi penyelesaian dengan premis peranan pemimpin sebagai "Amanah kepada Tuhan sebagai Khalifah Allah di muka bumi dan menganggap segala perbuatan rasuah, salahguna kuasa dan ketirisan adalah perlakuan dosa terhadap Allah dan kerosakan (Al-Khusraan) yang dilakuan oleh Penguasa yang rakus sebagai perbuatan fasiq dan khianat terhadap Amanah Allah dan Mandat Rakyat.
