Umno to zoom in on Nizar’s defiance of sultan

Mar 29, 09 3:54pm

Thousands of government and opposition supporters converged Sunday on a sleepy district in Perak, for an electoral clash that will test the new leadership of Najib Razak.

The political temperature is already running high in the state, where the Perak sultan in January ordered the opposition to cede control of the state assembly to the coalition, after defections upset the delicate balance of power.

Some 15,000 opposition supporters and 5,000 from the ruling coalition turned out today at the nearby town of Taiping to nominate their candidates, putting on a rowdy display as they beat on drums, yelled chants and waved party banners.

In Bukit Gantang, which with its hills and morning mists is a popular tourism destination, the roads were ablaze with party posters and flags, while police riot trucks and water cannon vehicles were deployed at strategic points.

The government is campaigning heavily on the opposition’s defiance of the Perak sultan’s order to surrender power – touching on the rights of the Malay rulers which is a sensitive topic in Malaysia.

“The opposition has insulted and defied the institution of the sultan in the state, and people must vote out anyone who insults the monarchy,” government supporter Zek Mohamad Shalby told AFP outside the nomination centre.

Opposition supporters meanwhile yelled slogans linking Najib to a murdered Mongolian woman who was the mistress of one of his aides. The new leader has repeatedly denied any involvement in the case.

“I’m very confident of winning,” said PAS candidate Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin who was Perak’s chief minister until the ouster, which is now in limbo as the two sides trade parliamentary and legal manoeuvres.”We are fighting for democracy and true freedom and it is going to happen here in Bukit Gantang, and we are going to say bye-bye to injustice,” he told reporters at the nomination centre.

Nizar is facing Umno’s Ismail Safian and Independent candidate Kamarul Ramizu Idris in the three-way fight.

Can BN claw back support?

The Barisan Nasional coalition is hoping that the installation of Najib Abdul Razak as president of Umno last week will help it gain support in Bukit Gantang, where a seat in the national assembly is up for grabs.

Bukit Gantang is a microcosm of the country’s multicultural population, with 60 percent Muslim Malays, 30 percent ethnic Chinese and 10 percent Indians.

The result here will be seen as an sign of whether the coalition has clawed back support since humiliating general elections a year ago when it lost a third of parliamentary seats and five of the 13 states to the opposition.

Najib has promised to overhaul Umno, which has dominated Malaysian politics for half a century, and root out the corruption, cronyism and infighting that has alienated voters.

His new deputy Muhyiddin Yassin, who kicked off the campaign for Bukit Gantang, admitted that the vote would be a testing ground for the fledgling administration.

“All by-elections are important, especially one that is done after the process of transition of leadership… we want to tell the people this is a team that means business,” he told reporters.

Kat bawah ni pula adalah laporan dari Malaysiakini yang hanya mampu menyebut jumlah kehadiran penyokong BN… wakakakaa!!!

9.15am: In Bukit Gantang, Mohd Nizar files his nomination papers, followed by Ismail. An independent candidate has also arrived. Election Commission chair Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof is also present.

9.15am: In Bukit Gantang, BN candidate Ismail Saffian enters the nomination centre. Spotted were newly-minted Umno deputy president Muhyiddin Yassin and vice-president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. BN entourage arrives at the nomination centre at 9.05am. Some 10,000 BN supporters are present, although this figure is being disputed by others, stating that a figure close to a maximum of 5,000 would be a proper figure.

Mungkin ramai akan memerahiku jika aku katakan bahawa pemberita AFP dan Malaysiakini bermasalah dalam pengiraan dan membilang… wakakakakaa

Gambar yang bagus dapat menceritakan kejujuran. Anda sendiri cubalah kira berapa kepala yang kelihatan dalam gambar di bawah ini;

Setakat ini, inilah gambar yang mampu menceritakan kejujuran laporan berita tentang berapa ramai jumlah sebenar rakyat terlibat di Taiping pagi kelmarin. Secara jujurnya biarlah aku nyatakan dari mana gambar ini diperolehi. Gambar ini ditemui dari laman web Berita Hairan…. wakakakakaa!!! (Sila klik di SINI)

Sekarang marilah kita adili Umno-BN (baca; Najib) melalui tindakan, bukan khabar angin. Sempena kempen pilihanraya kecil di Bukit Gantang, Bukit Selambau dan Batang Ai inilah masa paling sesuai bagi mengadili kesungguhan mereka untuk ‘berubah’.

Apa maksud sebenar di sebalik berita di bawah ini?

Rush to address Bkt Gantang squatters’ land issue

TAIPING, March 29 – Efforts are being made to solve the land issue faced by residents who, for a very long time, have illegally settled on Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) land in Kuala Sepetang, near here.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat said most of the squatters were fishermen who had stayed on the land which was laid with a railway track connecting Port Weld (now Kuala Sepetang) with Taiping.

“It’s an old problem. There’s a lot of such land used for the railway line but now still occupied by people, mostly families of fishermen. After such a long time, they want to know the status of the land.

“I have instructed KTMB and the Railway Asset Management Corporation to carry out a census to find out the number of households occupying KTMB land there and we will try to solve the problem,” he said after a closed-door dialogue with the Chinese community in Bukit Gantang, here, today.

Ini adalah masalah yang sengaja direka dan diperam oleh Umno-Bn untuk projek pilihanraya. Isu ini adalah masalah lama yang sengaja dibiarkan selama puluhan tahun, tiba-tiba dikeluarkan menjelang pilihanraya untuk memancing undi.

Sudah berdekad kita berikan mereka kuasa, tiba-tiba sekarang baru tergesa-gesa mahu selesaikan masalah yang dihadapi rakyat?

Inilah bukti sahih (melalui tindakan gerombolan) bahawa Najib hanya mempermain dan memperbodohkan rakyat.  Sekarang sudah terbukti Najib dan gerombolan Umno hanya menggunakan ‘perubahan’ sebagai tema dalam usahanya untuk mengaburi mata rakyat.

50 tahun makan gaji buta, 9 hari kempen masalah rakyat akan selesai?

Adakah ini adil?

Berani betul bawa kapal selam nih, tak takut pun nanti kena ISA…bagus rakyat Malaysia!!!

Mahalkah kapal selam nih? hehehe

I took this list of important blogs from The Whisperer

Special Bunch (SB) yang terdiri daripada sekumpulan blogger Barisan Rakyat bersama BloggersNetwork  baru saja selesai bertemu dengan YAB Dato’ Seri Nizar dan pegawai-pegawai penting dalam Pilihanraya Kecil P059 Bukit Gantang. Perbincangan dilakukan dalam keadaan kondusif dan sangat berhasil.

Namun, aku merasakan bahawa ada satu perkara penting yang terlupa atau gagal ditonjolkan dalam perbincangan tadi.

Harus diingat, semasa pilihanraya umum 8 Mac 2008 lalu, Pakatan Rakyat telah menang besar kerana (salah satu daripadanya) rakyat percaya bahawa, jika menang pilihanraya Pakatan Rakyat akan mansuhkan ISA.

Kalau nak kata ISA adalah isu kebangsaan (nasional), kerana isu tempatan mahu diutamakan, aku rasa tak betul sepenuhnya. Memandangkan Kem Tahanan ISA sekarang terletak di Kamunting (bersebelahan Bukit Gantang). Sanggupkah pengundi di Bukit Gantang melepaskan peluang untuk menunjukkan kepada Umno bahawa Pusat Tahanan ISA tidak sepatutnya berada di negeri Perak?

Ketuanan Rakyat vs Ketuanan Melayu ( baca; Ketuanan Umno)

Dalam perhimpunan Agong Umno yang baru saja berakhir hari ini, mereka mendesak supaya semua jawatan-jawatan penting terutamanya Naib Chansellor universiti-universiti mestilah ‘orang Umno’. wakakakaa!!!! Benarkah Umno memperjuangkan orang Melayu? Kerana, bukan semua orang Melayu adalah ahli Umno. Maknanya, bangsa Melayu bukanlah perjuangan Umno, jauh sekali untuk mereka menyedari kepentingan seluruh rakyat Malaysia. Ketuanan Melayu vs Ketuanan Rakyat adalah TEMA UTAMA pilihanraya-pilihanraya kecil yang sedang kita hadapi ini.
