PAS tuduh percayai, Umno pinggirkan wanita di T'ganu, Kelantan

Ketika Wanita Umno bersedih ekoran mereka disisihkan oleh pimpinan mereka, buat pertama kalinya sejak lebih 40 tahun, PAS meletakkan calon wanita dalam pilihan raya umum ini di Terengganu.

Presiden PAS, Datuk Seri Tuan Guru Abdul Hadi Awang ketika mengumumkan barisan calon PAS di perkarangan Masjid Rusila, Marang malam ini memperkenalkan calon wanita untuk PAS di DUN Kuala Besut.

Calon PAS itu, Nafisah Ismail akan bertanding merebut kerusi DUN Kuala Besut menentang penyandang kerusi berkenaan, Dr. A. Rahman Mokhtar.

Di negeri jirannya, PAS Kelantan pula semalam mengumumkan empat calon wanita dalam pilihan raya umum kali ini.

Mereka adalah Siti Zailah Yusof (Ketua Dewan Muslimat PAS) di Parlimen Rantau Panjang, Mumtaz Mat Nawi (DUN Demit),  Wan Ubaidah Omar (Kijang) dan Rohani Ibrahim (Tanjong Mas).

Dalam pada itu, BN tidak meletakkan sebarang calon wanita samada di Terengganu manakala di Kelantan hanya satu berbanding empat dari PAS dalam pilihan raya umum kali ini.

Apa beza dengan Pas,Pas pon baru nak letakkan calon .Tak yah lah nak lorat sangat Pas .

Dalam risikan PR mampu menang 145 kerusi parlimen

DAP memberikan masa sehingga jam 3 petang esok kepada Pendaftar Pertubuhan (ROS) untuk menarik balik suratnya yang menyatakan kepimpinan DAP tidak sah.

Jika gagal berbuat demikian, kesemua calon DAP akan bertanding di atas tiket PAS di Semenanjung dan di atas tiket KEADILAN di Sabah dan Sarawak.

Keputusan ini dicapai DAP dalam mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Eksekutif Pusat (CEC) parti itu malam tadi.

Petang semalam DAP menerima surat dari ROS menyatakan kepimpinan DAP yang ada tidak diiktiraf oleh mereka.

"Dengan tidak mengiktiraf kepimpinan DAP yang dipilih oleh perwakilan pada 15 Disember 2012 lalu, saya tidak mempunyai kuasa sebagai Setiausaha Agung untuk mengeluarkan sebarang surat kuasa kepada calon-calon DAP untuk menggunakan simbol roket," kata Lim Guang Eng, Setiausaha Agung DAP dalam kenyataannya yang dikeluarkan selepas mesyuarat tergempar itu.

Bagi beliau, adalah tidak berguna untuk bergantung di atas jaminan Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) untuk menggunakan simbol DAP iaitu roket ketika SPR mempunyai rekod buruk dalam mematuhi janjinya sendiri.

Bagi beliau, surat ROS yang dikeluarkan 48 jam sebelum hari penamaan calon yang jatuh pada 20 April adalah satu usaha jahat untuk membunuh DAP dengan memaksa kesemua calonnya menjadi calon bebas.

"Jelas ROS berniat untuk menculik Roket untuk memenuhi grand design BN untuk mengeluarkan DAP dari bertanding dalam pilihanraya umum.

"Sehubungan itu, CEC DAP menyeru semua pemimpin, ahli serta penyokong DAP bertenang dan biarlah rasa marah kita diterjemahkan dalam kotak undi pada 5 Mei 2013 nanti," kata Lim Guan Eng.

Sementara itu, Pejabat Agung PAS sudah bersiap sepenuhnya untuk mengeluarkan surat kuasa bagi membolehkan calon-calon DAP bertanding atas tiket PAS dengan mengguanakan simbol PAS.

Ia disiapkan oleh kakitangan ibu pejabat PAS itu bagi membolehkan semua calon DAP di Semenanjung menggunakan simbol PAS dalam pilihanraya ini.

Semalam, Pendaftaran DAP tidak terbatal dan parti itu masih boleh menggunakan simbolnya dalam pilihanraya umum, kata Pendaftar Pertubuhan, Abdul Rahman Othman.

Dalam satu kenyataan, beliau menarik perhatian Jabatan Pendaftaran Pertubuhan (ROS) memaklumkan kepada DAP semalam bahawa ia sedang mengkaji pendaftaran parti itu berikutan pertikaian di kalangan anggotanya.

Sementara menanti penyelesaian pertikaian berkenaan, kenyataan itu menyebut Pendaftar Pertubuhan tidak memberi pengiktirafan kepada pemegang-pemegang jawatan DAP yang dibentuk semasa pemilihan parti itu pada 15 Disember 2012, mengikut Seksyen 3A Akta Pertubuhan 1966.

"Bagaimanapun, pendaftaran DAP tidak terbatal dan ia masih boleh menggunakan simbolnya semasa pilihanraya umum," kata Abdul Rahman.

Beliau turut berkata siasatan berhubung pemilihan parti itu akan diteruskan.

Sementara itu, maklumat terbaru yang diterima menunjukkan Pakatan Rakyat dijangka menang sehingga majoriti 68 kerusi menerusi satu sumber perisikan yang bocor beberapa hari lalu.

I have received information that the Bukit Aman and Defence Ministry intelligence do not rule out the defeat of Barisan Nasional in the 13GE. According to one Bukit Aman intelligence estimate, which I cannot verify whether it is from the police or not, the possible outcome of the 13GE for parliamentary elections is as follows:

Dengan kedudukan ini, Pakatan Rakyat diramal mampu menguasai 145 kerusi, jauh dari sasaran asal 125 kerusi sahaja semasa anggaran awal yang dibuat pertengahan Mac lalu.

Sementara BN cuma memperolehi 77 kerusi sahaja, jauh lebih buruk dari jangkaan asal 95 kerusi juga mengikut anggaran awal pada pertengahan Mac.

Penasihat DAP Kebangsaan, Lim Kit Siang yang mendedahkan maklumat ini berkata, walaupun dia tidak dapat mengesahkan sumber yang diterima dari perisikan polis di Bukit Aman, inilah kedudukannya menjelang penamaan calon esok di seluruh negara.

Analisis yang dibentang Ketua Ekonomi Bank Islam yang masih digantung sehingga hari ini, Azrul Azwar Ahmad Tajuddin menyebut Pakatan Rakyat berkemungkinan memperolehi antara 115 hingga 125 kerusi manakala BN antara 95 ke 105 kerusi sahaja.

Kit Siang menghargai kenyataan bekas ketua polis negara, Musa Hassan yang meminta supaya politik ugut dan menakut-nakutkan rakyat yang diamalkan BN ditolak oleh seluruh rakyat.

Musa yang memegang 'janji' BEKAS perdana menteri, Najib bahawa proses peralihan kuasa akan berjalan secara aman turut mengingatkan BN tidak boleh menggunakan kekerasan sekiranya secara rasmi diisytihar kalah dalam pilihanraya umum nanti.

Malah, Kit Siang turut memuji Musa kerana terus profesional menegur BN dan Pakatan Rakyat walaupun sudah bersara dari perkhidmatan kerajaan kerana banyak campur tangan BN dalam pasukan polis semasa Musa menjadi ketua polis negara dulu.

DAP mengapa perlu takut dengan bayang-bayang sendiri??

BN tiru PR lagi, nak beri air percuma di Selangor

BN Selangor disifatkan terpaksa menelan ego dan keangkuhan sendiri apabila berhasrat meneruskan pemberian air percuma kepada rakyat di negeri ini jika berjaya menawan Selangor dalam Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-13 (PRU-13) nanti.

Calon PAS Parlimen Kuala Selangor, Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad berkata, tawaran manifesto BN ini jelas bercanggah dengan pendirian parti itu yang sebelum ini lantang mengkritik pemberian air percuma boleh memufliskan negeri.

Tegasnya, tawaran itu juga menunjukkan bahawa BN sekali lagi cuba menciplak apa jua manifesto Pakatan Rakyat (PR) baik di peringkat Persekutuan mahupun negeri Selangor khususnya.

“Kalau dakwaan mereka bahawa negara akan muflis kerana manifesto PR, maka apakah dengan mereka meniru manifesto kami di peringkat Persekutuan dan Negeri itu akan turut membankrapkan negara dan negeri? “Sedangkan semasa di awal pemerintahan PR dahulu, mereka membuat pelbagai kecaman dan kritikan antaranya termasuklah pemberian air percuma yang hanya merugikan Kerajaan Negeri.

Kalau begitu kecamannya, mengapa BN masih meniru program dan polisi PR Selangor,” katanya ketika dihubungi TV Selangor.

Terdahulu, Kementerian Tenaga, Teknologi Hijau dan Air (KeTTHA) dalam satu kenyataan pada 3 Jun 2011 menegaskan untuk tidak mengusulkan kepada Kerajaan Pusat berhubung pemberian 1000 liter air percuma kepada rakyat kerana mendakwa tidak mendatangkan faedah.

Bagaimanapun, BN Selangor menerusi manifesto PRU-13 bercadang meneruskan program pemberian air pecuma kepada rakyat di negeri ini jika berjaya merampas Selangor daripada PR.

Tambahnya, jika Kerajaan BN benar-benar ingin membantu rakyat, maka seharusnya tawaran air percuma itu diperluaskan ke setiap pelusuk negara ini.

Bagaimanapun menurutnya, beliau tidak yakin usaha itu dapat dilakukan berikutan amalan monopoli dan kronisme masih diamalkan pentadbiran Umno-BN.

“Mereka boleh janji untuk memberikan air percuma, tetapi pengurusan air itu akan tetap diberikan kepada syarikat konsesi iaitu kroni mereka sendiri.

“Sepatutnya mereka boleh berikan air percuma kepada rakyat sejak dulu lagi, tetapi mereka tidak mahu kerana ia tidak mendatangkan untung kepada kroni,” tegasnya.

Don't shoot rakyat in the foot, ABU warns PR

KUALA LUMPUR (April 18, 2013): Pakatan Rakyat will be "shooting the rakyat in the foot" if they fail to resolve all overlapping claims for seats come nomination day tomorrow, warned advocacy group Anything But Umno (ABU) chief Haris Ibrahim.

Haris said any three-cornered fight involving more than one PR candidate against Barisan Nasional will dash the people's hope for change after the 13th general elections.

"Politicians should remember that the seats belong to the rakyat who are merely giving them a 'temporary occupation license' for five years," Haris told theSun on Wednesday.

"In the situation where there is more than one PR candidate, the desire for change would be impossible to achieve," he stressed.

Haris said this was proven during the Bukit Selambau by-election in 2009, when PKR's candidate S. Manikumar trounced MIC's Datuk S. Ganesan, despite presence of 11 other 'Independent' contenders, whom he claimed were planted by BN.

"PR only had one candidate, so the people were not confused," he said.

Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia representative A. Jayanath meanwhile said PR had more than five years since 2008 to prepare for the polls and as such it was "very disheartening" to hear of their last minute jostling for seats.

Jayanath noted that the political tsunami in 2008 when BN was denied their customary two-thirds majority in Parliament was due to straight fights in most constituencies in the peninsular.

"The feeling on the ground is 'why are we left with this choice?' (between two opposition parties)," said Jayanath, citing as an example the expected three-cornered fights between BN, PR and Parti Sosialis Malaysia in Semenyih and Jelapang.

DAP to contest under PAS, PKR tickets

DAP will not be able to use its rocket symbol in the coming general election, following two letters issued by the Registrar of Societies (ROS) on Wednesday – just three days before nomination – which in effect render the party's office-bearers impotent.

As a consequence, the DAP at an emergency meeting last night had decided it will contest under the PAS logo in the peninsula and the PKR logo in East Malaysia unless the Registrar of Societies (ROS) revokes its April 17 letter which de-recognised the party's office-bearers by 3pm today.

DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng told an emotionally charged press conference after the central executive committee (CEC) meeting held at its headquarters that the ROS issuance of the letter is a politically motivated move intended at "sabotaging" DAP's chance in the upcoming polls.

"By not recognising the CEC office-bearers elected on Dec 15 (2012), I have no power to issue authorisation letters to DAP candidates to use the rocket symbol, in my official capacity as secretary-general.

"There is no point in relying on assurances given by the Election Commission (EC) that DAP can still use our rocket symbol when it possesses a sad record of broken promises," said an incensed Lim.

"We will not surrender ... It is a battle of survival. How do we explain to the voters why we need to contest using another party's logo?" said Lim who at one point was holding back tears.

Also present were DAP chairman Karpal Singh and party supremo Lim Kit Siang who both admitted to being deeply affected by the decision to not contest under the rocket symbol as they had done in past elections.

"It is a sad and traumatic (feeling) but we are being forced into this situation.

"The rocket is deeply entrenched in DAP's psyche," said Karpal.

Kit Siang also admitted to shedding tears over the possibility that the party may not be able to contest under its own banner for the first time in its 48-year history.

He also described the decision as a "high-risk" move which the party is willing to take.

The ROS has informed the DAP that the official inquiry into complaints over its CEC, which was to be heard today, had been postponed to May 9.

This, in effect, leaves the DAP leadership issue in limbo until then.

Karpal had on Wednesday said the party's election returning officer Pooi Weng Keong and election strategist Ong Kian Meng were to attend a hearing by ROS on the alleged irregularities yesterday.

ROS stated in its letter it could de-register DAP as a political party following official complaints that non-CEC members had attended a CEC meeting, and that 753 delegates had either not received their ballot papers at least 10 days in advance, or at all.

Lim said there should be no issue of de-registration, judgment or action before the ongoing probe and official inquiry are completed.

DAP's Pakatan Rakyat partners immediately offered to assist the party.

"On behalf of PAS, I am ready to sign any letter needed by a DAP candidate," said PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali.

PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution echoed the support, saying PKR's top leadership had no issue in helping DAP.

"PAS and PKR are our loyal partners and we really thank them for standing by us and helping us out in this time of crisis," said Lim, adding if DAP candidates do not receive authorisation from another party to use its symbol, they would have to contest as independents, which the DAP will not accept.

On a news report yesterday that Election Commission (EC) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz had given the green light for DAP to contest under its own symbol, Kit Siang said it needs to be in black and white for the party to consider such a move.

"We will not take the risk of banking our entire election campaign on verbal promises by the EC, especially when we received the faxed letter less than 48 hours before nomination day.

"However, behind every crisis, there is an opportunity. We hope the people can see that dirty underhand tactics are being used."

Meanwhile, CEC member Gobind Singh Deo pointed out that the CEC referred to by the ROS was appointed on Dec 15 last year, whereas a new CEC had, in fact, been appointed on Jan 4 this year after the party was contacted by the ROS.

"DAP has all this while been in communication with the ROS over the complaints raised, so the letter comes as a surprise.

ROS director-general Datuk Abdul Rahman Othma in a statement issued late Thursday evening said however that the party has not been de-registered and can still use its symbol for the general election.

Tunggu lihat apa reaksi ROS pulak.
