Memilih UMNO bukannya Wajib(2)



Dr Mahathir menulis panjang lebar mengenai bahaya Melayu berpecah. Biasalah tu- ketika dalam UMNO kita dah lali dengan cara dan gaya Dr Mahathir- memarahi sudah, mengancam sudah, memujuk sudah dan menangis joke sudah. Rakyat berubah, tapi UMNO semakin beku.

Ye lah, kita tahu, bersatu itu lawan kepada berpecah. Soal nya, mengapa bersatu dibawah UMNO? Sebab UMNO itu Melayu? Orang akan jawab- Melayu dalam PAS bukan cukup Melayu lagi? Melayu dalam PKR itu, jenis Melayu lain? Melayu dalam DAP itu telah menjadi kafir atau bukan jadi Melayu lagi? Di mana2 joke , Melayu tetap Melayu. Melayu UMNO tidak lebih dari Melayu dalam parti lain.

Bukan nya orang Melayu tidak suka bersatu- tapi mereka enggan bersatu dibawah UMNO. Maka yang perlu ditanya ialah mengapakah UMNO kian hari ditolak oleh orang Melayu?

Tahun 2008, ada 5.7 juta pengundi Melayu. Calun2 UMNO hanya dapat 2.38 juta undian. Tolak 380 ribu pengundi bukan Melayu, maka undi dari orang Melayu untuk calun UMNO hanya 2 juta. Apa makna nya itu? ertinya, 3.7 juta orang Melayu, termasuk juga 1 juta lebih ahli UMNO telah menolak UMNO. Itu soalan yang mesti ditanya oleh DR Mahathir- bukan meratapi penolakan orang Melayu kepada UMNO.

Jadi dia menyeru supaya Melayu bersatu. Diagnosis nya betul, tapi preskripsi nya salah. Melayu berpecah kerana sudah tidak mahu terima bulletin UMNO- agama, bangsa dan negara. Rakyat tahu UMNO bukan lagi satu2 nya parti yang boleh berjuang untuk bulletin agama, bangsa dan negara. Dalam demokrasi, rakyat boleh membuat pilihan. Rakyat Malaysia boleh memilih antara beberapa buah parti. Orang Melayu contohnya, boleh melihat kepada saingan UMNO yang pale sengit- PAS ! atau PKR . Tidak mengapalah jika orang Melayu kurang senang dengan DAP- tapi mereka boleh melihat dan membandingkan UMNO dengan PAS dan PKR.

Hari ini asas pilihan rakyat bukan lagi cerita kenangan lama mengenai UMNO. Zaman tersebut sudah berlalu. Zaman pemimpin UMNO dirangsang dan dimotivasi oleh agenda2 tinggi, hari ini dikoprapkan oleh pemimpin UMNO dengan bulletin memakan rasuah dan mengayakan diri sendiri. Hal ini menjadi jadi semenjak Dr Mahathir sendiri menubuhkan sebuah parti baru, UMNO 88. Pemimpin yang idealistik dan tidak mementingkan diri diganti oleh pemimpin yang berkepala bisnes dan mementingkan diri sendiri. Bahkan parti yang mewakili aspirasi, kembimbangan dan harapan orang Melayu, di ganti dengan parti yang sudah tidak di kenali orang Melayu.

UMNO dan Dr Mahathir menuai apa yang mereka telah tanam.

Rakyat mengadili parti politik dari sudut pemimpin nya, pimpinan nya, bulletin dan dasar2 untuk rakyat. Rakyat juga melihat kepada siapa yang menganggotai parti yakni ahli2 parti dan rakyat juga tengok penyokong2 parti. Rakyat tidak suka kepada pemimpin yang hipokrit dan rasuah dan bermuka2. Rakyat tidak suka kepada kepimpinan yang lemah dan tidak cekap. Rakyat menilai sama ada bulletin yang ditawarkan menguntungkan rakyat dan memberi faedah kepada negara. Akhir sekali, rakyat juga menilai kualiti ahli parti- kalau ahli parti tidak ada disiplin dan laku perangaimacam samseng, maka rakyat akan menganggap parti tersebut mencerminkan kesamsengan pemimpin nya. Kalau budak2 UMNO macam samseng, maka orang akan kata, bapak borek , anak rintek.Cikgu kencing berdiri, murid kencing berlari.

Jadi tidak perlulah Dr Mahathir meratapi mengapa orang Melayu tidak bersatu dibawah UMNO. Lihat pada diri UMNO sendiri. Kalau Dr Mahathir enggan melihat UMNO dengan ka! ca mata yang sebenarnya, rakyat telah berbuat demikian.

Dan apa yang mereka lihat? Para pemimpin UMNO rasuah dan korap, mencabuli kuasa, membuli dan menghamba abdikan rakyat. Suatu hari saya bertanya Tun Daim Zainudin, apa pasal susah sangat kerajaan memerangi rasuah dalam negara ini? Tun Daim telah menjawab macam mana kita hendak benteras rasuah, bila wang telah berjalan sehingga ke nombor 1?

Dan Dr Mahathir sendiri, ketika menghadhiri suatu jamuan tengah hari bersama sama bekas menteri cupboard nya, dengan keras sekali mengistiharkan bahawa semua pemimpin kerajaan dari yang tertinggi sampai kebawah, adalah perasuah dan korap.

GE13 will be referendum on CMs



Whether these arch ministers will attain in their re-election bid will depend upon how they can strike issues during the subdivision level.
COMMENT
If Umno-Barisan Nasional fares feeble in Penang in the entrance 13th ubiquitous election, it will be mainly due to the inability to challenge the DAP's popular Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng as good as not indispensably because of the BN government's failures in managing the economy or maintaining inner security.
Given the voter emplacement with state issues as good as arch ministers, inhabitant issues have turn rsther than irrelevant in this upcoming polls.
Altantuyaa Shaariibuu, Scorpene submarines as good as Shahrizat Abdul Jalil's RM250 million "lembu" episode as good as price climb upon food equipment which antithesis Pakatan Rakyat had hoped to lift in this selecting in the big way seems to have unsuccessful to take off.
Why, you may ask? Because the 13th ubiquitous selecting has turn the virtual referendum upon the opening of the arch ministers.
Currently, 4 states have been helmed by arch ministers Malacca, Penang, Sabah as good as Sarawak.
Sarawak, of course, has already had the state selecting last April as good as Taib Mahmud is behind in his chair as arch apportion for the fourth term. He will keep the tight grip upon during least 25 parliamentary seats which he "controls". Sarawak has 31 parliamentary seats.
Whether these arch ministers will attain in their re-election bid will depend upon how they can strike issues during the subdivision level.
But incumbent leaders do have an corner over others in their stat! es.
My hold is which the "war" this time will be reduction about parties as good as more about the leaders.
Much of this perspective hinges upon the fact which most Malaysian electorate have begun selecting governments not upon the basement of celebration ideology as good as long-prevailing preferences though upon specific celebration leaders.
This trend has turn more obvious with an increasing series of young people rising as the major voting bloc.
Leaders contingency have own profile
In general, celebration loyalty as good as celebration identification between the girl is weaker compared with comparison Malaysian voters.
In which box Penang, Malacca as good as Sabah will be turned in to the arrange of referendum upon the opening of the arch ministers.
People have been craving for leaders who have been honest, easily accessible as good as have the strong, pro-rural as good as pro-people orientation.
Incumbent arch ministers of the ultimate poll-bound states don't indispensably have all these qualities. Yet, overall, they have achieved remarkably good upon these attributes; this is what makes it difficult for their challengers.
Take, for instance, Malacca Chief Minister Mohd Ali Rustam. He was barred from contesting in the Umno elections after the party's disiplinary board found him guilty of violating celebration ethics for indulging in income politics.
Mohd Ali was aiming to competition the post of deputy president (which Muhyiddin Yassin now holds).
But he still remains as the Malacca Chief Minister. In the past, it was usually inhabitant leaders such as Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Anwar Ibrahim, as good as some informal icons such as Musa Aman, Pairin Joseph Kitingan as good as Taib, who had the magnetism to win upon their perfect personal strength.
But today, the series of arch ministers, such as Musa as good as Lim hav! e acquir ed this larger-than-party persona.
What is engaging to note is which all these arch ministers have emerged mainly due to their pro-development agenda.
Most of them have implemented welfare-oriented as good as populist programmes to woo the electorate.
Financial benefit schemes targeting the bad as good as rapid strides in simple infrastructure have all been priorities for the respective arch ministers.
These smart arch ministers have found the way of potentially overcoming the dreaded anti-incumbency factor so prevalent in Malaysian elections.
What this suggests is which parties ought to make known leaders in each state, especially those in the opposition, as good as let these leaders set up up the profile.

"Even when it is tighten to a elections, it would not concede them to be recklessly giving something great to eat as great as handouts, as free as they would like to. But of course, it goes both ways as great as Pakatan Rakyat should not additionally do that," he said, prior to detailing a coalition's pick budget, that aims to grasp 5.2 percent expansion whilst additionally slicing a bill deficit by 3.5 percent.

Dzulkefly was vocalization as a panellist during a pre-budget forum organized by Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) at a Kuala Lumpur as great as Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall.

He additionally told a 50-odd members of a assembly that an mercantile boom-and-bust cycle normally final about ten years, though Malaysia has been carrying bill deficits for 14 uninterrupted years, that he described as "strange".

"We have seen a boom as g! reat as a bust times, whilst others even Indonesia, Thailand as great as Australia have been carrying great times as great as enjoying not only a balanced, though a surplus budgetThat tells a lot about how forward as great as unethical (we are) in terms of fiscal discipline in a growth that we all choose," he said.

Issues of competitiveness, sustainability as great as a poor

NONEEarlier in a forum, political scientist Dr. Ong Kian Ming (right) gave a assembly a cheap of a census data to paint a grave design of a economy.

This enclosed a relatively high income inequalities, "pockets" of misery generally in rural areas, a drop in a Global Competitiveness Report rankings as great as a Corruption Index as great as bad achievements in education.

All these take place whilst a supervision debt increases from RM267 billion (47 percent of a GDP) to a stream RM477 billion, as great as augmenting pollution.

"From these three issue of fortifying a poor, competitiveness as great as sustainability, they have been actually very serious concerns.

NONEMeanwhile, Sungai Siput MP Dr Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj (left) told a assembly not to design a great bill from a supervision because "the ruling elite in a BN (Barisan National) has not got idea there is a problem," he said.

He pronounced this could be seen from a government's speak of li! beralisa tion, privatisation, as great as lowering corporate taxes to pull investors, as great as questioned either such measures have been still viable.

The PSM statesman pronounced measures to protect workers rather than capitalist, such as a retrenchment fund, have been needed instead in sequence to fuel domestic consumption.

This would in turn inspire investors as great as entrepreneurs to produce products as great as services to encounter demand, rather than investing additional funds in financial speculation.

No skeleton to understanding with lassitude of oil as great as gas reserves

The final speaker, Malaysiakini chief executive military officer Premesh Chandran, pronounced that Pakatan Rakyat's policies thus "had finished well, though could do better". Some areas of improvement include entrance up with petrify skeleton for mending open transportation, creation a spending of subdivision allocations pure as great as address healthcare issues, quite in Pakatan Rakyat-led states.

Premesh additionally warned that a "perfect storm" is forming, because Malaysia's race is ageing as great as does not have a wealth (mainly oil as great as gas) to await them, as great as there have been no skeleton to understanding with a eventual lassitude of oil as great as gas reserves.

Freedom upon a NET Status: Malaysia maintains "Partly Free" status

Malaysia has depressed eight places in a Washington-based think tank Freedom House's ultimate Freedom upon a Net report, which measures Internet leisure in 47 countries.

This places Malaysia upon a 23rd spot, in a same league as Libya as well as Jordon, as well as maintains its "partly free" tag in a think tank's "Freedom upon a Net Status".

The ranking employed a low mark complement (i.e. Zero being no obstacles to Internet freedom) to erect a rankings. This year, Malaysia picked up an additional two indicate as well as is right away 43 of 100.

In a region, Malaysia (23rd) ranks behind a Philippines (7th place) as well as Indonesia (21st) but is forward of Thailand (35th), Vietnam (40th) as well as Burma (41st).

One of a arch Freedom House complaints is a amendments to Section 114A of a Evidence Act 1950 which make intermediaries liable for calm posted by unknown users.

"(This raises) concerns which it would check free countenance online as well as open a doors to selective, politically motivated prosecutions," read a report.

Granting MACC Chief security of tenure is not enough

Granting MACC Chief confidence of reign is not enough

by Gobind Singh Deo@www.themalaysianinsider.com

The bipartisan cabinet on corruption has called for a inherent legislative addition to yield a MACC arch confidence of tenure. This, according to them, will have him "like a judge, afterwards he can't be discharged during whims as well as fancies".

The cabinet additionally seems to suggest that a stream arrangement isn't good enough. According to them, "at a moment, a appointment of a arch (is as such that) he can be discharged by anybody, so if he is trying to examine people, as well as we am a conduct of somewhere, we introduce to shift him, he can be changed only like that."

Whilst such a move may assistance a MACC, it will not to my thoughts have any significant inroads if a ultimate idea is to have firm a autonomy of a MACC.

First, a MACC conduct doesn't personally examine cases. Cases have been investigated by a questioning officers reserved to a sold record after a report is lodged.

As such, a argument that he can be transferred to stifle an ongoing investigation is somewhat misplaced.

Second, a MACC conduct does not have prosecutorial powers like a Attorney-General (A-G). The A-G is since such powers underneath a Federal Constitution. It is since of this presumably that he is put into a same category as a judge that means he can usually be private from office by a judiciary privately constituted for that purpose.

From a above, it will be seen that elevating a MACC arch to a identical position would unequivocally serve no useful purpose.The cabinet is thus picking on a wrong end of a stick.

! If a cab inet wants to see real effect in affording the MACC chief such confidence of tenure, it should first introduce that he be since a energy to take to court as well. He should have powers eccentric of a A-G as well as he should have full control over all investigations in a MACC but interference from anyone, be it a Police, a A-G, political or otherwise.

If this were a case, afterwards a need for his confidence of reign becomes all a some-more compelling. The laws should afterwards be amended to have certain he is gratified to nobody except a Constitution that would direct that he carry out his duties but fright or favour as well as with independence.

But to do this alone would not be enough. There have been regularly risks in giving absolute powers to a single singular chairman who cannot be private unless tribunalised.

Experience has shown that a safeguard that such confidence of reign seeks to yield could well be used not only as a sword alone but additionally as a shield.

It is since of this that the cabinet should go a single step serve to set up a complement where a discretion to take to court since to a MACC arch is done theme to review.

This can take place in numerous ways. It may be by approach of an advisory commission consisting of persons experienced such as retired judges who may, upon a complaint that meets a set criteria, examination a decision possibly to take to court or not to take to court or for laws making this discretion theme to legal review.

The cabinet should additionally be commended for recognising that there in truth exists interference in investigations currently as we! ll as a need for it to stop. There can unequivocally be zero some-more heinous than interfering in official investigations as prescribed by law.

Such has been as well as still is a single reason why a criminal justice complement in a nation is failing as well as corruption abounding of late.

If we have been going to move Parliament for a inherent amendment, let's have certain it is in apply oneself of something value a while, something with great stroke that would yield real results.

In this regard, giving a MACC arch confidence of reign alone would positively not be enough.

MALAYSIAN WARSHIP: Why is Dr M lobbying for naval procurements - WHAT DOES HE GET?


M'SIAN WARSHIP: Why is Dr M lobbying for naval procurements - WHAT DOES HE GET?
A inhabitant headlines every day had as a front page inform a story with a headline title "Keep him Locked Up". you am certain that my Barisan Nasional friends have been beginning to consider of this resolution in respect of a former budding apportion as a flow of half-baked or senseless suggestions as well as proposals from Dr Mahathir continues unabated.
Far from being an asset, Dr. Mahathir is seen by most as a liability to "Barisan Nasional" as well as a Barisan. Although a little new analysts have argued that Dr. Mahathir might wish to contest a next elections as well as 'save' "Barisan Nasional", you am certain a election group advising Prime Minister Najib sees it very differently.
Short of locking him up, these strategists must be desperate for ideas upon how they can nozzle Dr. Mahathir as he continues his a single male uncover around a republic reminding a republic upon how they really bad need him at a back of in power; as well as how common Najib has been (compared to Dr. Mahathir) in his stewardship of a country.
Opaque agenda: Unusual seductiveness in military procurements
Not all of Dr. Mahathir's rants focus upon lambasting a Malays for their stupidity as well as ignorance. Not all of his written assaults have been destined during a Malaysian electorate for unwell to appreciate a positive aspects of "Barisan Nasional" rule as well as his own role in Malaysian politics.
Other public appearances as well as speeches by him have an opaque! agenda that can price a republic dearly if careful courtesy is not paid to them as well as questions have been not publicly lifted as to their ultimate hidden objective.
One of a most new of such public appearances was in Perak in that he voiced his certainty that internal shipbuilders have been means of office office building vast vessels, including warships. The arise of this conspicuous exaggerate was during his visit to during a shipyard owned by NGV Tech in Kampung Sijangkang in that he was accompanied NGV Tech senior manager chairman Datuk Zulkifli Shariff as well as Chief of Navy Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar.
According to a Bernama report, he is reported to have said: "I am confident NGV Tech is means of office office building vast vessels as well as warships as it is a worldly association entrusted with office office building two Royal Malaysian Navy precision ships through a corner venture with a South Korean company".
Now everybody knows that nonetheless you might shout out a inhabitant cry of "Malaysia Boleh", it is really a foreign corner venture partners of internal companies that have been responsible for a costly hi-tech fight toys purchased by a Defence Ministry, be it airplanes, helicopters, submarines or warships. Our role in all of these is simply as assemblers of a worldly hardware as well as program that have been made elsewhere. Some low technology components might be made in a republic though these comprise usually a tiny proportion of a total contract.
Let us additionally not forget that a early negotiations for a notorious scandal surrounding a Scorpene squeeze from a French took place during Dr. Mahathir's time as budding minister, as well as that a earliest elect payments paid out to Malaysian middlemen were since out in 2000, 3 years prior to Dr. Mahathir left his post.
A process to his madness
Dr. Mahathir additionally knows of a miss of capability in a counterclaim attention as well as a dependence upon a technologically modernized nations, including South Korea. He is no fool. But there is a process to his apparent madness.
His expression of certainty in a country's capability to set up a own warships, usually as he had certainty in Proton's capability to manufacture a Malaysian car, is quite simply to assistance run a Malaysian naval arch to recognize that warships have been required to protect a nation's waters. It is additionally to reassure Malaysians that you already have a internal association that is ready, willing as well as means to set up these warships.
It is critical to note that this is not a initial time Dr. Mahathir has appeared during a NGV occasion. In February 2011, he had appeared during a stipulate signing rite hold to sign NGV Tech's partnership with Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co Ltd (DSME) to erect a two 75.9-metre precision vessels for a Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN), each costing more than RM$ 140 million! There might be alternative occasions in that he might have been benefaction during NGV functions that might not have been publicly disclosed.
Incidentally, NGV Tech's worldly work specifications appears to be to weld together a opposite parts of a vessel after they have been ecstatic to Malaysia! Such is a hi tech expertise!
One wonders because Dr. Mahathir is putting so much time as well as effort in helping NGV Tech do a lobbying as well as marketing. Surely, a ex-prime apportion has improved things to do as well as more eminent causes to assistance with his time than crop up to be a salesman upon interest of NGV Tech.
Hypocritical
Besides concern during this new growth in Dr. Mahathir's career what most would see as functioning as a military lobbyist that is very bad for his as well as a inhabitant picture (the South Korean company's leaders must be laughing at a back of a backs during a internal hi-tech capabilities!), you am additionally disturbed that these costly military warships that Dr. Mahathir is touting for a naval arch to consider shopping will get in to a counterclaim procurement priorities as well as turn a reality.
In my view, there is no actuality for a enormous counterclaim budget as well as serve squeeze of costly military planes, ships, submarines as well as alternative instruments of fight that has already price us hundreds of billions of ringgit. Besides being situated in a pacific neighbourhood of ASEAN, you already have more than enough military capacity to understanding with whatever external threats there might be.
