DATUK ZAID PILIH DAP

Oleh
Tan Sri Sanusi Junid

HARI BERSEJARAH

Pada hari Selasa 7 February, 2017 mulai pukul 9.30 pagi berduyun-duyun tetamu dari berbilang bangsa/kaum berpusu-pusu ke rumah kediaman Datuk Zaid Ibrahim di No. 10, Jalan TR8/3, Tropicana Golf & Country Resort, 47410 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan.

Acaranya ialah ‘Sidang Media Bersama YABhgia Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, YB Sdr. Lim Kit Siang dan Datuk Zaid Ibrahim. Majlis bermula pukul 10.00 pagi dan berakhir pada 12.00 tengahari. Diikuti dengan jamuan ringan.

DATUK ZAID IBRAHIM

Dalam ucapannya Datuk Zaid telah meminta maaf kerana majlis telah bertukar tempat dari Dewan Tan Sri Hamzah, Kelab Diraja Selangor, Jalan Bukit Kiara off Jalan Damansara 60000 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan ke rumahnya kerana pihak Kelab Diraja Selangor telah membatalkan di saat-saat terakhir persetujuan mereka untuk memberi izin pertemuan di situ.

Lepas itu, dalam ucapan seterusnya,  Datuk Zaid memberi sebab kenapa beliau memilih untuk menjadi ahli DAP. Ucapannya ringkas dan padat. Sebab yang lebih menyeluruh kenapa Datuk Zaid memilih untuk menjadi ahli DAP telah dimasukkan dalam blognya www.zaid.my atas tajuk ‘Why I choose the Democratic Action Party’ atau ‘Kenapa saya memilih DAP’.

Antara kandungan karangannya yang menarik ialah para 6, 7 dan 8 seperti berikut:

‘I can only conclude from the ferocity of their attacks that they know full well that this BN Government will fall if Malay voters are not afraid of DAP. They know that when DAP can win the heart of the Malays, the support for Pakatan Harapan will be unstoppable. Here I will work hard to tell the Malays that DAP are not what Najib and Hadi tell them. It’s a political party that has consistently fought against corruption and abuse of power in the last 50 years. It’s the party the Malays need to support for they have long lost faith in their own Malay leaders. The remember too well the saying “Harapkan pagar, pagar makan padi” after their experience with 1MDB, Felda and Mara.’

‘To Malays I can only repeat the words of national laureate Datuk Usman Awang: “Jangan takaut melanggar pantang, jika pantang melanggar kemajuan. Jangan segan menentng larangan jika percaya kepada keadilan.”‘

‘”Melayu itu orang yang bijaksana”. We will know after GE14 if Usman Awang is right or wrong.’

LIM KIT SIANG

Selepas Datuk Zaid berucap YB Lim Kit Siang telah berucap. Dalam ucapannya YB Lim Kit Siang menjamin bahawa Datuk Zaid tidak hanya akan menjadi simbol atau ‘primadona’ atau pun patung yang tidak berperanan dalam DAP sebaliknya akan memainkan peranan yang penting di dalam partinya. Beliau menamatkan ucapannya dengan jaminan ‘kita akan mejadikan Malaysia Great Again.’ Beliau pinjam slogan Donald Trump yang telah berjaya menjadi Presiden Amerika Syarikat mengalahkan Hilary Clinton yang menjadi calon pilihan yang diramalkan akan menang.

TUN DR. MAHATHIR MOHAMAD

Tun Dr. Mahathir, selaku Pengerusi Parti Pertubuhan Bumiputera Bersatu Malaysia, telah berucap selepas Lim Kit Siang dengan mengalu-ngalukan kemasukan Datuk Zaid ke dalam DAP. Secara berseloro Tun Dr. Mahathir menyindir bahawa beliau tidak hairan majlis Datuk Zaid dihalang untuk diadakan di Kelab Diraja Selangor kerana beliau sendiri pun telah dihalang untuk menghadiri majlis pertabalan Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di Pertuan Agong kerana tidak ada kerusi baginya di Istana Negara, walaupun beliau sebenarnya boleh membawa kerusinya sendiri.

Tun Dr. Mahathir juga merasa cukup ganjil bagi Datuk Zaid memilih untuk menjadi ahli DAP. Sebaliknya negara Malaysia, katanya, memang sebuah negara yang ganjil kepada masyarakat seluruh dunia apabila seorang Perdana Menteri yang beliau sebutkan sebagai penyangak yang terkenal dimerata dunia masih boleh kekal di tampuk pemerintahan.

LIM KIT SIANG MENGAKUI KEJAYAAN MALAYSIA DI BAWAH EMPAT PERDANA MENTERI SEJAK MERDEKA

Tun Dr. Mahathir juga menyambuat seruan Lim Kit Siang untuk menjadikan ‘Malaysia Great Again’ sebagai pengakuan Lim Kita Siang bahawa sebelum zaman Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dan Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak ‘Malaysia was A Great Nation.’

Waktu bersoal jawab dengan pihak media jelas sekali ada ‘hantu’ dari media perdana yang ingin memutarbelitkan laporannya, tetapi mereka tidak berhasil kerana soalannya sendiri mendedahkan haluan kededakiannya.

Satu bukti ‘kecil’ tentang laporan media perdana ialah apabila mereka menyebut saya sebagai seorang Ahli Majlis Tertinggi Parti Peribumi Bersatu Malaysia sedangkan saya hanya ahli No. 12 dalam parti itu. Ada bezanya antara menjadi Ahli Majlis Tertinggi Parti dengan menjadi penyokong kuat parti.

Ada yang bertanya mengenai pandangan saya ke atas kemasukan Datuk Zaid Ibrahim ke dalam DAP.

LANDMARK

Bagi saya tindakan Datuk Zaid ini adalah satu keputusan yang sangat penting yang menjadi batu tanda atau ‘LANDMARK’ peralihan psikologi orang Melayu yang sejak penubuhan Malaysia telah di asuh untuk takut kepada DAP, khususnya Lim Kit Siang.

Ternyata Datuk Zaid Ibrahim tidak takut pada DAP dan pada pengasasnya Lim Kit Siang.

TUN ISMAIL TIDAK TAKUT PADA LEE KUAN YEW

Setelah Lee Kuan Yew mengancam kedudukan Perdana Menteri Tunku Abdul Rahman sehinggalah Singapura dipecat dari Malaysia, DAP, yang dikatakan warisan kepada parti PAP yang diasaskan oleh Lee Kuan Yew itu, dianggap sebagai sebuah parti yang ingin merampas kuasa Melayu di negara ini.

Yang takut kepada Lee Kuan Yew mengambil alih jawatan Perdana Menteri itu ialah Tunku Abdul Rahman sedangkaan tokoh seperti Tun Dr. Ismail tidak takut kepada Lee Kuan Yew. Itulah sebabnya Tun Dr. Ismail telah meletak jawatan dari menjadi Menteri sebagai tanda protes atas tindakan Tunku itu.

Ketakutan Tunku Abdul Rahman kepada kemungkinan Lee Kuan Yew mengambil alih jawatan Perdana Menteri daripadanya telah disedari oleh Lee Kuan Yew sebagaimana yang dinyatakannya kepada Perdana Menteri Britain di waktu itu Harold Wilson. Perkara ini telah ditulis oleh Setiausaha Sulit Kanan Harold Wilson dalam bukunya bertajuk ‘INSIDE NO. 10’.

Apakah dakwaan bahawa China boleh mengambil alih jawatan Perdana Menteri dari Melayu, tanpa persetujuan bangsa Melayu, itu satu kemungkinan. Bagi pakar undang, ahli sejarah dan pengkaji politik yang mendalam jelas sekali dakwaan ini adalah satu khayalan yang palsu belaka. Khayalannya dapat dibandingkan dengan kemungkinan jawatan Menteri Besar Kelantan diambil alih oleh tokoh China DAP dari PAS. Mustahilnya kita menggambarkan DAP mengambil alih Kelantan dari PAS samalah dengan mustahilnya kita menggambarkana PAS memerintah Singapura, jika Singapura masih berada dalam Malaysia. Pulau Pinang yang penduduknya lebih ramai bukan Melayu pun kepimpinannya kekal di tangan China baik dari MCA, GERAKAN atau DAP.

RANGKAIAN TIANG SERI BANGSA MELAYU

Kita tidak patut lupa bahawa negaraa kita mempunyai 9 orang Sultan dan Raja dari keturunan Melayu. Jumlah Menteri Besar dan Ketua Menteri majoriti Melayu/Bumiputera. Pegawai daerah majoriti Melayu/Bumiputera, Penghulu majoriti Melayu/Bumiputera. Ahli Parlimen dan Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri pada keseluruhannya majoriti Melayu/Bumipetera.

Pegawai dan kakitangan kerajaan, anggota pasukan polis dan perwira angkatan tentera semuanya dikuasi oleh Melayu belaka.

Hanya jika majoriti Melayu/Bumiputera menghendaki Perdana Menteri dari yang bukan Melayu, seperti Barack Obama yang berkulit hitam, dipilih oleh majoriti rakyat Amerika Syarikat untuk menjadi Presiden mereka, adalah mustahil bagi yang bukan Melayu untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia.

TUN ABDULLAH HJ. AHMAD BADAWI DAN DATO’ SERI NAJIB TUN ABDUL RAZAK PATUT TAKUT PADA DAP

Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, Tun Hussein Onn, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, sebagaimana Tun Dr. Ismail Abd. Rahman tidak takut pada DAP dan tidak bimbang akan kehilangan jawatan mereka.

Saya yang 30 tahun menjadi Wakil Rakyat pun tidak pernah takut pada Lim Kit Siang atau DAP.

Di bawah pemerintahan empat Perdana Menteri Malaysia, sebelum Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, DAP tidak pernah berjaya memerintah sebuah negeri sekalipun. Hanya di zaman pemerintahan Tun Abdullah dan Dato’ Seri Najib menjadi Perdana Menteri maka Pulau Pinang telah diperintah oleh DAP.

Oleh itu kedua Perdana Menteri terakhir dalam sejarah UMNO ini tidak boleh menyalahkan bukan Melayu jika mereka menukar selera untuk memilih DAP dan tidak memilih MCA atau GERAKAN untuk memimpin Pulau Pinang.

MELAYU JANGAN DISALAHKAN

Malahan orang Melayu, khususnya ahli-ahli UMNO, tidak boleh menyalahkan pengundi apabila mereka memilih untuk mengalahkan Barisan Nasional dalam Pilihanraya Umum ke 14 akan datang.

Semua ahli UMNO hendaklah diingatkan bahawa dalam PRU ke 12 jumlah negeri yang berpindah kepada pembangkang telah bertambah kepada 5 buah, sebelum Perak diambil balik oleh BN melalui jalan belakang. Dari 4 buah negeri, Kedah, Pulau Pinang, Kelantan dan Selangor, hanya Kedah diambil balik oleh BN dalam PRU ke 13 kerana pertukaran calon Menteri Besar kepada Dato’ Seri Mukhriz Mahathir.

Dalam PRU ke 13 Tun Dr. Mahathir berkempen kuat untuk Barisan Nasional. Walau bagaimanapun ‘popular vote’ atau jumlah pengundi dimenangi oleh pembangkang.

Untuk PRU ke 14 Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad tidak akan berkempen untuk BN; Kedah juga telah bertukar Menteri Besar yang telah memenangkan BN dalam PRU ke 13. Berbagai isu telah timbul sejak Dato’ Seri Najib menjadi Perdana Menteri.

SEMUA ISU TIDAK MELIBATKAN LIM KIT SIANG

Semua isu-isu yang timbul sejak Dato’ Seri Najib menjadi Perdana Menteri dan Menteri Kewangan tidak melibatkan Lim Kit Siang. Apakah isu-isu tersebut?

1. Lim Kit Siang tidak mencadang atau menyokong pengenalan GST yang membebankan rakyat jelata.

2. Lim Kit Siang tidak mencadang atau menyokong keputusan menghapuskan subsidi sehingga naik harga barang dan toll.

7. Lim Kit Siang tidak pernah pinjam duit Mara untuk berniaga atau sebagai biasiswa waktu beliau belajar; beliau juga tidak pernah merestui penyelewengan yang kini dikatakan berlaku dalam MARA.

8. Lim Kit Siang belum memeluk ugama Islam dan beliau tidak pun tahu mengenai salahguna wang Lembaga Urusan dan Tabung Haji untuk pelaburan yang merugikan.

9. Lim Kit Siang, kerana belum memeluk ugama Islam, tidak pernah membayar zakat itulah sebabnya dia tidak tahu bahawa pejabat ugama mengadakan lawatan ke Paris sebagai salah satu acara dalam ‘Kursus Pernikahan’.

10. Lim Kit Siang bukan seorang Melayu/Bumiputera dan dia tidak merasa penderitaan, dan bukan sebab kepada penderitaan, maka biasiswa anak-anak Melayu dikurangkan jumlahnya oleh kerajaan.

11. Bukan Lim Kit Siang yang menamatkan khidmat Peguam Negara.

12. Bukan Lim Kit Siang yang menukar pegawai MACC kerana menyelidiki kes yang melibatkannya.

13. Bukan Lim Kit Siang yang mencadangkan dikenakan label OSA atas semua hasil penyelidikan atas sebarang salahlaku dalam apa jua syarikat, badan dan agensi kerajaan.

14. Bukan Lim Kit Siang yang menghalang Bank Negara Malaysia dari mengambil tindakan atas penyelewengan dalam institusi kewangan  dalam dan luar negara.

15. Bukan Lim Kit Siang yang mencadang untuk membeli kapal selam Scorpine; dan bukan dia yang suruh Sirul dan rakannya untuk membunuh Altantuya.

16. Bukan Lim Kit Siang yang suruh SPRM untuk menyelidik dan tangkap perasuah-perasuah kecil supaya perasuah yang lebih hebat kelihatan tidak rasuah.

17. Bukan Lim Kit Siang yang mengarah media perdana supaya setiap hari mengutuk Tun Dr. Mahathir walaupun beliaulah yang telah mengharumkan negara Malaysia di zaman pemerintahannya selama 22 tahun menjadi Perdana Menteri.

18. Lim Kit Siang tidak pernah terbabit dalam sebarang skandal seks.

19. Lim Kit Siang tidak pernah terlibat dalam sebarang skandal kewangan.

20. Lim Kit Siang tidak menjadi pengeluar filem lucah di Hollywood dengan memakan belanja wang yang disalurkan dari syarikat milik negara.

21. Lim Kit Siang tidak pernah melabur wang negara yang dicurinya di Singapura, Hongkong, New Zealand, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Amerika Syarikat dan namanya tidak pernah disebut sebagai penjenayah dalam mana jua mahkamah didunia.

22. Lim Kit Siang tidak pernah merancang untuk membawa 1.5 juta rakyat dari Bangladesh sehingga rakyat Bangladesh melebihi jumlah rakyat keturunan India yang ada dalam negara sekarang ini.

23. Lim Kit Siang juga bukan perancang untuk membenarkan ratusan ribu Cina dari negara Komunis China untuk membeli harta milik tetap (freehold) dan tinggal di negara ini.

24. Lim Kit Siang juga tidak boleh disalahkan jika harta-harta yang sangat bernilai seperti Lapangan Terbang Sungai Besi dijual kepada syarikat dari negara Komunis China.

25. Lim Kit Siang tidak boleh disalahkan jika kos pembangunan satu-satu projek, seperti keretapi di Pantai Timur dinaikkan harganya sehingga Negara terhutang sejumlah yang sukar untuk dibayar dari hasil projek berkenaan.

26. Lim Kit Siang menyokong RUKUNEGARA dan tidak pernah menentangnya.

27. Lim Kit Siang menyokong dan tidak pernah menentang PERLEMBAGAAN. Justeru itu, Lim Kit Siang turut mendaulatkan RAJA-RAJA MELAYU, Lim Kit Siang menyokong BAHASA MELAYU SEBAGAI BAHASA KEBANGSAAN. Lim Kit Siang menyokong ISLAM MENJADI UGAMA PERSEKUTUAN. Lim Kit Siang menyokong HAK ISTIMEWA ORANG-ORANG MELAYU DAN BUMIPUTERA, walaupun Lim Kit Siang telah menegur apabila Hak Istimewa ini tidak dinikmati secara keseluruhan bangsa Melayu/Bumiputera.

28. Lim Kit Siang menyokong serampang dua mata DASAR EKONOMI BARU iaitu untuk MEMBASMI KEMISKINAN dan MENYUSUN SEMULA MASYARAKAT, tetapi Lim Kit Siang menegur apabila terlalu ramai orang Melayu dan kaum-kaum lain yang masih ramai kekal miskin dan Lim Kit Siang juga menegur apabila peroses menyusun semula masyarakat tidak mencapai matlamat kerana cara pelaksanaannya.

29. Lim Kit Siang tidak bertanggungjawab, malah tidak tahu menahu mengenai penubuhan 1MDB; tidak pernah menjadi penasihat atau ahli lembaga pengarah, pegawai atau pekerjaa di 1MDB.

30. Lim Kit Siang tidak bertanggungjawab menjatuhkan nilai ringgit Malaysia ke tahap yang merugikan Negara dan meningkatkan kos hidup rakyat.

SIAPAKAH YANG PATUT DITAKUTI OLEH DATUK ZAID IBRAHIM ANTARA LIM KIT SIANG DENGAN MO1 YANG BERTANGGUNGJAWAB KE ATAS BALA YANG TERSEBUT DI ATAS

Oleh itu, patutkah Datuk Zaid Ibrahim untuk takut berkawan dengan DAP dan berjuang menentang rasuah dan ketidakadilan bersama mereka?

Alangkah baiknya jika ramai pemimpin Melayu seperti LIM KIT SIANG.

SALAHKAH TUN DR. MAHATHIR MOHAMAD BERSAHABAT DENGAN LIM KIT SIANG YANG SAMA-SAMA BERHASRAT MEMBERSIHAN PEMERINTAHAN NEGARA

Salahkah Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad untuk bergabung tenaga dengan Lim Kit Siang, dan mereka yang sejenis sikap dengannya,  untuk sama-sama menentang penyelewengan, rasuah dan pengkhianatan kepada negara?

Salahkah Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad untuk membetulkan kesilapannya kerana telah salah menanam budi dan memilih pengganti2nya yang beliau tidak sangka menjadikan negara dipandang hina seperti sekarang dan rakyat jelata menderita kerana beban hutang negara yang bertimbun dan tidak mungkin selesai dibayar oleh anak, cucu dan cicit kita semua.

Lim Kit Siang and UMNO

Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman

27.3. 2017

Saya ingin menyahut cabaran Tan Sri Annuar Musa untuk menulis esei berkenaan Lim Kit Siang. Rm50k yang ditawarkan sangat menarik minat saya untuk turut serta dalam cabaran ini, Tinggi harapan saya untuk mendapatkan Rm 50k yang dijanjikan itu malah saya juga berhasrat untuk menyumbang Rm50k itu kepada pasukan bola sepak Kelantan (TRW) dan juga membantu para pelajar UniKL/biasiswa MARA

.

Saya tidak terkejut TS Annuar Musa mampu memberi hadiah sebanyak RM 50k kerana sebelum ini kita telah lihat bagaimana “cekapnya” dia menguruskan pasukan TRW sampai “tidak pernah sekali pun” duit Pelaburan MARA/UNI KL digadaikan untuk menutup kelemahan urus tadbir beliau. “Bagus betul” menjaga kebajikan pelajar. Biasiswa MARA bagi melanjutkan pelajaran ke luar negara & yang diperuntukkan untuk membiaya pelajar UNIKL yang diberhentikan membuktikan “kecekapan” beliau dalam mengendalikan tugasnya. Mungkin ini adalah satu langkah kehadapan bagi beliau bagi mencungkil bakat-bakat penulisan dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia. Husnuzon, bersangkabaiklah.

(Tetapi Bab Lim Kit Siang, Husnozon tak boleh tau)

.

Lim Kit Siang kan “anti-Islam”

Lim Kit Siang “anti-Melayu”

Lim Kit Siang “anti-Raja Melayu”

.

Let’s start with the first allegation, Lim Kit Siang “Anti-islam”

Lim Kit Siang Anti Islam.

.

Dia lah yang dikatakan menyalahgunakan harta anak yatim (YAPEIM) untuk main golf di luar negara (+Rm400K) sampai ada Yayasan anak yatim yang saman beliau sebanyak RM20 Juta.

Eh, ni bukan Menteri UMNO (DS Jamil Khir). ni LIM KIT SIANG! Hidup ISLAM!

.

Dia lah yang mengepalai Parti DAP yang mengisyhtiharkan darurat di Kelantan pada tahun 1977, dengan itu merampas kuasa dari Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS).

Eh, ni bukan UMNO-BN. Ni LIM KIT SIANG! Hidup Islam!

.

Dia lah dengan bantuan DAP yang MENAMBAH peruntukan untuk sekolah agama rakyat di Pulau Pinang, jauh beza berbanding kerajaan Pro-Rakyat UMNO-BN.

Eh, saya salah. Bukan LIM KIT SIANG yang baik, UMNO-BN yang baik. Lim Kit Siang buat untuk publisiti murahan ja. Dengan UMNO kita boleh Husnozon (bersangka baik), dengan LIM KIT SIANG tak boleh! Hidup Islam.

.

Let’s now proceed to the second allegation, Lim Kit Siang Anti-Raja Melayu”

.

Parti yang diketuai oleh Lim Kit Siang lah yang menyuarakan kebimbangan apabila akta MKN yang diluluskan tidak mendapat perkenan YDPA.

Eh, sorry. Itu bukan LIM KIT SIANG. UMNO yang baik!

.

Dia lah yang nak “WHACK” Tunku Mahkota Johor (TMJ) apabila ada perbedaan pendapat.

Eh, itu bukan DS Nazri Aziz. Itu LIM KIT SIANG!

.

Let’s now proceed to the third and final allegation, Lim Kit Siang “Anti-Melayu”

(paling penting sekali)

.

Lim Kit Siang Anti-Melayu.

.

Dia lah yang dikatakan membikin filem lucah Wolf of Wall Street yang memakan belanja US$100 juta dan membayar hutang judi US$13 juta di pusat perjudian Las Vegas dengan menggunakan duit rakyat MALAYSIA yang majoritinya bangsa melayu.

Eh, ni bukan anak kandung Rosmah Mansor, Riza Aziz yang disaman oleh Department of Justice. Ini LIM KIT SIANG! Hidup Melayu!

.

Dia lah yang menolak peruntukkan MARA/JPA. Dia lah yang menolak peruntukkan kepada universiti2 awam. Dia lah yang mengenakan cukai GST dan menarik semula pelbagai jenis subsidi yang akhirnya membebankan rakyat kerana kos sara hidup yang tinggi. Sambil semua ini berlaku, dia lah yang hidup dengan penuh kemewahan sampai berjuta juta wang rakyat dikatakan dibelanjakan untuk beli “anti-ageing products” untuk isteri kesayangannya(eh, siapa kata ini berkenaan Najib & Rosmah?)

.

Index rasuah Malaysia makin teruk? Ini Salah Lim Kit Siang. RM28Billion (~USD7 BILLION) disalahgunakan oleh 1MDB? Ini Salah Lim Kit Siang. Skandal RM100 Juta Kementerian Belia & Sukan, Skandal RM105 Juta Jabatan Air Sabah, Skandal YAPEIM, Skandal MARA-Australia, Skandal Exco Perumahan Johor, Skandal DBKL dll……

Semua salah siapa?

.

Semua salah LIM KIT SIANG! Hidup Melayu!

.

As a Malaysian,

As a Muslim,

As a Malay,

.

To me, he is my fellow Malaysian. Even before I joined the opposition, I have always stayed away from the politics of mislabeling someone “Anti-Malay/Anti-Islam” etc. Instead of labelling someone, I prefer to confront them with arguments and deal with the issue head on. I don’t need to hide behind a ”labeling” to succeed in forwarding my argument.

.

I might disagree with Lim Kit Siang on some issue, but never will I call him an “Anti-Malay”, “Anti-Islam”, Anti- Raja raja Melayu”.

He is my fellow Malaysian.

Menolak rasisme, menyemai harapan

oleh Zai

Roketkini

Pada 27 Mac 2017

Lim Kit Siang bukanlah satu nama yang asing dalam arena politik negara. Pelbagai kecaman, tohmahan dan fitnah dilemparkan ke atas pemimpin tertinggi Parti Tindakan Demokratik (DAP) ini. Namun, beliau masih berdiri teguh untuk memastikan misi ‘Selamatkan Malaysia’ yang diperjuangkan sejak lebih 30 tahun lalu dapat direalisasikan.

Umum mengetahui pelbagai kecaman dan tuduhan berbentuk rasisme sering dilemparkan ke atas beliau oleh pemimpin-pemimpin yang bersifat ultra-Melayu. Di sebalik isu-isu penyalahgunaan kuasa dan rasuah oleh pemimpin-pemimpin tersebut yang kini memegang tampuk kepimpinan negara, mereka seperti tidak terkesan dengan apa yang sedang berlaku bahkan mengalihkan perhatian rakyat marhaen kepada isu rasisme ini.

Persoalannya, sampai bila isu rasisme harus dimainkan sehingga isu-isu berkaitan kebajikan rakyat seperti tidak diendahkan? Apakah mereka mengambil perhatian terhadap kos sara hidup yang semakin hari semakin tinggi hingga derita itu ditanggung oleh rakyat biasa? Isu tentang penyalahgunaan kuasa hingga menyebabkan institusi-institusi seperti MARA dan FELDA yang sepatutnya membela masyarakat Melayu-Bumiputera seharusnya dipandang serius dan harus punya kaedah penyelesaian yang lebih efektif kerana isu ini melibatkan kesejahteraan rakyat juga khususnya masyarakat Melayu-Bumiputera.

Namun harus diingatkan bahawa kebajikan dan hak-hak komuniti lain juga harus dijaga kerana mereka juga rakyat Malaysia. Selagi mana kebajikan setiap rakyat dijaga dan dipenuhi tidak kira kaum, agama, gender dan warna kulit, maka isu-isu rasisme ini tidak akan dijadikan modal politik lagi.

Bagaimana institusi-institusi yang sepatutnya membela orang Melayu-Bumiputera berfungsi dengan baik sebagaimana matlamat asal penubuhannya sedangkan pelbagai kontroversi melanda institusi-institusi tersebut? Adakah rakyat masih percaya dengan kewibawaan pemimpin-pemimpin yang diamanahkan menjaga institusi-institusi ini sedangkan pelbagai bukti menunjukkan mereka menyalahgunakan wang yang sepatutnya difikirkan mampu membantu orang Melayu-Bumiputera.

Benarlah kata-kata Datuk Ariff Sabri, Ahli Parlimen Raub pada Persidangan DAP 2016, perkataan Bumiputera sekarang meletakkan ‘Putera’ di hadapan manakala ‘Bumi’ di belakang. ‘Putera’ bermaksud pemimpin-pemimpin yang diamanahkan menjaga institusi-institusi ini manakala ‘Bumi’ merujuk kepada rakyat. Adakah kesejahteraan rakyat tidak diendahkan manakala wang yang sepatutnya dilaburkan untuk rakyat disalahgunakan oleh pemimpin-pemimpin tersebut? Fikirkan lah secara kritis siapa sebenarnya mengkhianati masyarakat Melayu dan Bumiputera kini.

Baru-baru ini Lim Kit Siang sekali lagi menjadi topik utama media arus perdana kerana seorang pemimpin tertinggi UMNO menawarkan sejumlah wang tunai kepada sesiapa yang mampu menulis tentang pemimpin tersebut bersikap rasis. Bahkan ganjaran tersebut baru sahaja dinaikkan lagi kononnya ia dapat menarik perhatian rakyat untuk bertungkus lumus mengusahakan sebuah karangan yang menunjukkan pemimpin tertinggi DAP itu bersikap rasis. Persoalannya, benarkah pemimpin tersebut bersikap rasis?

Umum mengetahui DAP yang wujud sejak 51 tahun yang lalu berjuang untuk kesemua rakyat Malaysia tanpa mengira kaum, agama, gender dan warna kulit. Apakah pemimpin tertinggi UMNO tersebut tidak sedar atau buat-buat lupa bahawa parti pimpinannya itu terbentuk di atas kapasiti kaum iaitu Melayu.

Lim Kit Siang pernah dipenjarakan dua kali dan tragedi 13 Mei 1969 sehingga kini dikaitkan dengan beliau walaupun beliau tidak berada di Kuala Lumpur pada ketika itu. Tragedi tersebut masih menjadi misteri dek kerana ia menjadi salah satu isu sensitif dan tidak didedahkan pada umum namun adakah pemikiran rakyat yang menganggap Lim Kit Siang bertanggungjawab di atas berlakunya tragedi tersebut boleh berubah kerana hakikatnya beliau tidak terlibat langsung mencorakkan tragedi tersebut daripada berlaku?

Pemimpin UMNO yang menawarkan ganjaran tersebut harus sedar skandal-skandal melibatkan beliau tidak dapat dialihkan dengan perkara remeh seperti ini kerana rakyat bijak menilai pada masa kini siapa yang telus memperjuang nasib mereka. Daripada membazir wang tersebut, maka eloklah wang itu disalurkan pada mereka yang memerlukan melalui badan-badan kebajikan.

Bukankah itu dianggap sedekah dan menjadi ganjaran pahala untuk pemimpin tersebut? Pemimpin tersebut harus ingat fitnah dan mengadu domba adalah suatu kesalahan yang membawa kepada dosa. Ingatlah bahawa kita tidak harus fokus kepada kehidupan di dunia ini semata-mata. Islam juga menentang tabiat memfitnah kerana dosanya lebih teruk daripada membunuh. (Surah Al-Baqarah : Ayat 191)

Rakyat harus menggunakan peluang untuk mengubah kepada kerajaan yang serius memperjuangkan hak mereka. Rejim yang memecah belahkan rakyat seharusnya ditunjukkan jalan keluar daripada memimpin negara. Pilihan raya semakin dirasai kehangatannya. Medium tersebut harus digunakan sebaiknya untuk mengubah Malaysia supaya menjadi lebih baik. Ayuh rakyat Malaysia. Noktahkan kepimpinan kleptokrat dan rasis untuk Malaysia yang lebih baik. – Roketkini.com

Rahman Dahlan should prove he is a patriot by asking Najib to resign as Prime Minister if Najib is not prepared to clear Malaysia of the curse, infamy and ignominy of being ridiculed world-wide as a global kleptocracy because of 1MDB money-laundering scandal

I am quite bemused by the latest antics of the Barisan Nasional Strategic Communications Director Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan, although I must thank him for finally resolving the question in my mind as to what are the job specifications  of a BN Strategic Communications Director – which is clearly to create and amass “strategic lies” about the Opposition and to use them to attack the Opposition parties  in the BN-UMNO owned or controlled mainstream mass media and the social media.

This is the reason for the  outpouring, close to an avalanche, of demonization of myself in the last three months in the UMNO/Barisan owned or controlled mass media, like the New Straits Times, Utusan Malaysia, Berita Harian, Star, or TV3, when for the past half a century of my political activities, I was blacked out in these media, with clear directive given in one mainstream media  that my photograph was never to be used.

Now I appear almost daily, if not in New Straits Times, then in Utusan, Berita Harian, Star or TV3, even with pictures – but there were no  news, facts  or truth, but downright lies, falsehood and fake news.

A recent egregious example of such lies, falsehoods and fake news is the allegation that Tun Mahathir and I had a secret meeting on Dec. 3 last year where a secret deal was struck that Mukhriz Mahathir would be the Prime Minister and I be the Deputy Prime Minister, when there was never such a meeting between Mahathir and myself on Dec. 3, and we had never discussed the subjects of Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister in our discussions so far.

The latest example of such BN “strategic lies” is that I had masterminded  electoral fraud in the DAP party elections in 2012, which is a new twist to a tissue of lies which had been concocted and disseminated in BN/UMNO misinformation  campaign in the past few years.

Abdul Rahman wants me to retire from politics for failing to topple Barisan Nasional in previous general elections and he said that I should “feel ashamed” towards DAP party members and should make way for other capable leaders.

It is Abdul Rahman who is a man of no shame, who  does not realise that he is making a fool of himself, trying to shed  “crocodile tears”.

If I am such a political failure in DAP, then Abdul Rahman should be praying fervently that I will remain instead of wanting to see me retire. What hypocrisy, cant and utter bunkum from the BN Strategic Communications Director!

This was the same mistake Rahman made when he suddenly “championed” the DAP cause, and claimed that  that there are DAP grassroots members and leaders who want a change of DAP party leadership and that I should retire from politics. If Rahman claimed is true, why is he spoiling and sabotaging  the plans of these  DAP grassroots members and leaders by publicly championing their cause?

These are indeed very “strategic” errors by the BN Strategic Communications Director. I am prepared to give the BN Strategic Communications Director a free tuition course on the meaning of what is “strategic” and what is not.

It should be “strategic” for Malaysia for instance that we should not be regarded as a global kleptocracy, to a stage where we are being mocked and ridiculed by the world, but even by our neighbours like in Riau in Indonesia.

Surely, as BN Strategic Communications Director, Abdul Rahman should be aware of the article entitled “Graft fighting Riau people shocked at 1MDB scandal” which appeared in the Singapore  news publication The Independent three days ago on 26th March, which read:

“There is no polling in Riau that will tell the extent of the sentiment expressed by the locals over the 1MDB scandal.

“But as soon as Prime Minister Najib Razak’s image appears on local television stations, patrons in coffee shops and restaurants would mumble in silence: ‘RM2.6 billion and he walks free!’ they would say.

“Though Indonesia is widely known for its corruption – which is at times embedded in the culture of the country’s politics in particular – Riau has seen its fair share of a witch hunt.

“From Members of the Parliament to Assemblymen, police officers and governor’s of Riau, the long arm of the law did not sit back to watch the criminals get away with corruption.

“And the locals in townships and villages are aghast at the fact that Najib Razak has remained in power despite being hit by a massive scandal of international scale.

“Why the interest in Malaysia?

“Oil rich Riau has a population of cross-breeds, that speaks Bahasa Melayu and they have a history linking them to Malaysia through the Malaysian states of Malacca and Johor.

“In the past, Johor was part of the greater Johor-Riau kingdom and the affinity does not end there.

“Thousands of Riau citizens travels to Malaysia either for health care or on business trips, while some own houses in Johor, Malacca and Negeri Sembilan.

“Two years ago, Riau governor Annas Maamun was dragged to the Bandung Corruption Court.

“Annas was found guilty of accepting bribes in a forest conversion case that caused the state losses of US$375,460.

“The court sentenced Annas to six years in prison and fined him Rp 200 million, or face an additional two months’ imprisonment.

“The verdict read as follows: ‘An aggravating factor is that the defendant is a regional leader who should have served as a good example for the community.’

“He is not the only governor who was sent to jail for bribery and for corruption.

“Former Riau Governor Rusli Zainal, the flamboyant and well-liked political figure, was sentenced to 14 years in prison for bribery and abuse of power in connection with two graft cases involving the 2012 National Games (PON) and the illegal issuance of forestry permits.

“’The defendant has been proven validly and convincingly guilty of corruption, consciously committing the crime[s], providing a bad example for the public,’ read the verdict.

“And history turned a new page in Indragiri Hilir when a metal bridge built by Rusli Zainal in 2002 when he was the Bupati, collapsed, erasing his legacy altogether.

“And when Najib Razak is mentioned, scores of people would state their disbelief that a serving Prime Minister can just walk away with RM2.6 billion in his private accounts, while an agency he headed is rigged with scandals and billions of dollars lost.

“This, they cannot comprehend.

“Malaysia is close to their hearts, so much so, that in the early 2000’s a Bupati of Bengkalis demonstrated in the streets carrying a Malaysian flag and calling for Riau to be annexed to Malaysia.

“His grievances against Jakarta was that the Javanese led-government did not care about its citizens in Riau, plowing the oil reserves and giving the only pittance to the province.

“That was then, and it was at the end of Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad’s era.

“Today, no Bupati would demonstrate or urge the people of Riau to even pray to join Malaysia in a federation, as the winds of change hit both territories that are separated by the Malacca straits.”

Does Abdul Rahman, a Cabinet Minister in Malaysia and BN Strategic Communications Director,  feel any shame at reading such a report about what the people of Riau think of Malaysia and our Prime Minister?

Let me tell Rahman Dahlan that he should prove he is a patriot by asking Najib to resign as Prime Minister if Najib is not prepared to clear Malaysia of the curse, infamy and ignominy of being ridiculed world-wide as a global kleptocracy because of 1MDB money-laundering scandal.

Rahman Dahlan reminds me of the Chinese saying 朽木不可雕 as he continues to score his own goal despite my earlier  attempt  to educate him – but he  is unteachable as he is unlearnable!

Abdul Rahman Dahlan reminds me of the Chinese saying 朽木不可雕  as he continues to score his own goal despite my attempt to educate him.

For the past three days, I had tried to educate him what a BN  Director of Strategic Communications should do and should not do.

For instance, I told him that he should not be sabotaging any efforts by DAP grassroots members and  leaders who allegedly want a change of DAP party leadership and want me to retire from politics, as this is what he did when he  publicly championed their cause  – but all these allegations are of course a  figment of his imagination!

Furthermore, I told Rahman that if he is right that I am such a failure in DAP, he should just quietly pray that I do not retire  and continue to be active in  DAP affairs to bring ruin and disaster to DAP which best  serve  the interests of UMNO/BN coalition.

But Rahman does not undertstand such simple logic and reasoning, which any intelligent student would be able to grasp immediately.

Why is Rahman scoring his own goal, in  wanting me to retire from DAP when it should be to the UMNO/BN interests that I  continue – as according to Rahman , I would be causing the DAP’s downfall as I am such a DAP failure!

In fact, he should be singing praises of me to entice me to continue to be active in DAP and banish all thought of retirement since I am such a failure in DAP and is of such great service to UMNO/BN!

Why is so Rahman so dim and blur about what is strategic for UMNO/BN, and what is not?

May be I should use a very unorthodox way to teach the unteachable.  Take an example. I regard Rahman as the greatest disaster ever to be BN Strategic Communications Director as he keeps scoring his own goal. I would not ask the UMNO/BN leadership to replace him as BN Strategic Communications Director, as he is such a boon to the Opposition. If necessary, I am prepared to write testimonials to endorse his continuing as BN Strategic Communications Director!

Does Rahman understand what I am talking about? Rahman takes the cake as a politician whom I had met in my 51 years in politics who acts as if he has the highest IQ among  politicians in the country  when in fact  he is among those with the lowest.

Rahman says he does not need “strategic” lessons from me and that I am not qualified to teach anyone about “strategy”. What else would one expect a dim-witted student to say in such circumstances?

I am  however most  thankful that Rahman had declined my offer of free tuition course on the meaning of “strategy”, or I would be faced with an impossible situation as Rahman is  unteachable as he is unlearnable!

Yesterday, in response to my statement, Rahman said I should retire because I had failed to dislodge Barisan Nasional in 13 general elections. Let me whisper to Rahman that he is again  making a fool of himself as the DAP had only contested in eleven general elections in Malaysia since 1969.

The question Rahman posed to me as to when I am going to “throw in the towel”  should not come from the  BN Director of Strategic Communications, as he should be coaxing me not to retire to better serve the UMNO/BN interest.

Rahman is in fact behaving like a “plant” of DAP in UMNO/BN leadership ranks to serve the interests of DAP – although I want to publicly state that the DAP will not touch Rahman with a barge-pole, as he is so unteachable and unlearnable!

Let me tell Rahman that he is not acquitting well as BN Director of Strategic Communications when he evaded my question yesterday, whether he is prepared to be a patriot by asking Najib to resign as Prime Minister if Najib does not want  to clear Malaysia of the curse, infamy and ignominy of being ridiculed world-wide as a global kleptocracy because of 1MDB money-laundering scandal.

Rahman also ignored the sad state of affairs in Malaysia today where Malaysians  are mocked and ridiculed by our neighbours in Indonesia, when previously, we were admired, respected and even envied by our neighbours – as only a few days ago, there was a report in  a Singapore newspaper entitled “Graft fighting Riau people shocked at 1MDB scandal” which reported the contempt the Riau people have for Malaysia, when one-and-half decades ago, there was even a movement in Riau clamouring for Riau to be annexed to Malaysia!

But all this UMNO/BN pre-occupation and obsession to demonise DAP and myself  in the past three months with a high-powered and well-orchestrated campaign  reflect a deeper problem in UMNO/BN – their fear of DAP and myself, which I find difficult in understanding.

Rahman’s attack on me in the past few days was only one offensive of this high-powered well-orchestrated campaign to demonise me – the other offensives being the attack launched by the UMNO Information Chief, Annuar Musa; the “Missing Person” posters and banners in Gelang Patah and the chorus of support for such a “strategic” offensive against me from various UMNO or pro-UMNO NGOs.

The “Missing Person” offensive in Gelang Path was  sub-contracted to the MCA, which was why the MCA Deputy President, Wee Ka Siong, joined in the attack on me with the false and baseless charge that I was only an MP for Ipoh Timor for two terms, “while for the rest (of the constituencies), it was only for one term”  when in actual fact, I served as MP for Bandar Melaka (name later changed to Kota Melaka) and MP for Tanjong (Penang) for three terms each.

I want to put a question, straight and direct to Rahman Dahlan: Why is the UMNO/BN leadership so afraid of Lim Kit Siang that they have to launch such a massive multi-faceted propaganda offensive of lies, fake news and false information against me – using all the UMNO/BN owned or controlled mainstream media and the social media?

Rahman can deny until he goes blue in the face and claim that I am irrelevant and immaterial, but the facts are there for all to see – the unprecedented outpouring of offensive attacks, close to an avalanche, to demonise me with lies, fake news and false information in the UMNO/BN owned or controlled media and in the cyberspace.

Let Rahman explain:  Why is UMNO/BN so afraid of me, when Rahman claims that I am such a political failure? Can the BN Director of Strategic Communications square this circle!

There is one thing, however, which  Rahman has achieved as BN Strategic Communications Director – making Malaysians understand the meaning of “strategic lies”!

Two important outcomes of BN Supreme Council meeting – averting final funeral rites for a consensus-based BN and clear affirmation that to criticize or even oppose Hadi’s private member’s bill is not being anti-Islam

Two days ago, I asked in very blunt language whether the Barisan Nasional founded by Tun Razak in 1973 will be finally buried with the consensus-based political coalition of 13 political parties replaced by a political coalition which does not operate on consensus principle but solely on the political hegemony of UMNO.

The Barisan Nasional Supreme Council meeting last night prevented the necessity to perform the final funeral rites for a consensus-based Barisan Nasional founded by Tun Razak 44 years ago, although there are adequate examples and developments that consensus-based  Barisan Nasional coalition is quite sick and in quite a terminal stage.

Such examples and developments occurred in the last two Parliamentary meetings in May and October/November last year where UMNO Ministers unilaterally gave priority to PAS President Datuk Seri Hadi Awang’s private member’s bill motion without consultation, consent and consensus from the other 12 Barisan Nasional parties and the unilateral announcements by both the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and the Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi that the Barisan Nasional government will take over Hadi’s bill and will table Hadi’s bill in the present meeting of Parliament.

I note that my stark warning has had effect – that the funeral rites for the death and burial of Barisan Nasional formed by Tun Razak 44 years ago would have to be performed if the fig-leaf of a consensus-based Barisan Nasional are finally torn away if the Barisan Nasional government proceeds to take over and present Hadi’s private member’s bill in Parliament without consultation, consent and consensus of the other 12 Barisan Nasional parties.

The question is whether the UMNO Ministers and leaders will now resort to the parliamentary manoeuvre of quickly finishing official parliamentary business so that there is adequate time for Hadi’s private member’s bill to surface to be debated and voted upon – and whether the MPs from MCA, Gerakan, MIC and Sabah/Sarawak BN parties would play ball with the UMNO Ministers and MPs to achieve such a result.

We will know soon enough.

There are two important outcomes of the BN Supreme Council meeting yesterday – firstly, averting final funeral rites for a consensus-based BN and secondly, a clear affirmation that to criticize or even oppose Hadi’s private member’s bill is not being anti-Islam.

If criticism or even opposition to Hadi’s private member’s bill is being anti-Islam, then UMNO Ministers and leaders, led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, would have committed acts which comes under the definition of “anti-Islam.”

This is not so, and the time has come for the Malaysian Parliament to set an example not only in the country but to the world of moderation where progressive, open-minded and inclusive Islamic thoughts and ideas are not regarded as anti-Islam.

The Malaysian Parliament should also set an example of moderation, justice and fair play where abusive and derogatory terms like “anti-Malay” or “anti-Islam”, or anti any race or religion, are not allowed to be used to undermine Malaysian nation-building and national unity.

Any passage of Hadi’s private member’s bill motion in Parliament next Thursday will make a total mockery of BN Supreme Council decision that BN government will not take over Hadi’s private member’s bill to amend Act 355

After the announcement of the  Barisan Nasional Supreme Council decision on Wednesday night by the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak that the federal government will not  takeover  PAS President Datuk Seri Hadi Awang’s private member’s bill to amend Act 355, attention has shifted to whether Hadi will be able to  move his private member’s bill motion next Thursday (last day of the present Parliamentary meeting) and whether there would be a debate and a vote, and if so, what the voting outcome would be like.

Any passage of Hadi’s private member’s bill motion in Parliament next Thursday will make a total mockery of the Barisan Nasional Supreme Council decision that the  BN government will not take over Hadi’s private member’s bill.

This is because Dewan Rakyat Standing Order 49 (3)  make it very clear that if leave is granted for  a private member’s bill motion, in this case to amend Act 355, the Bill  “shall be deemed to have been read the first time and ordered to be printed and a copy of the Bill shall be delivered to the Setiausaha”.

Standing Order 49(4) provides that the Bill “shall thereupon be printed and circulated to members, and shall stand referred without discussion to the Minister concerned with the subjects or functions to which the Bill relates to” and that “no further proceedings shall be taken upon such Bill until the Minister has reported to the House thereon”.

In the present case over Hadi’s Bill, the Barisan Nasional Supreme Council decided that the government (which would include any Minister concerned) would not take over Hadi’s private member’s bill,  which would  mean that  even if Hadis’ private member bill motion is passed by Parliament, the Bill would not be taken over and  pursued further by the Federal Government.

But any such voting outcome by MPs knowing that Hadi’s bill would not be taken over by the federal government will make Parliament the laughing-stock of the world – as if we have not enough things for the world to mock and ridicule, in particular over Malaysia as a global kleptocracy and the international multi-billion dollar 1MDB money-laundering scandal!

All MPs regardless of political party should pay heed to the statement by G25 comprising retired high-ranking civil servants urging an end to  a divisive issue in a multi-racial Malaysia, which alienates our fellow Malaysians in Sabah and Sarawak and makes the minority races feel that they do not count.

Warning that such a  divisive issue is “bound to create frictions in the federation, adding to the fears which many already have on the future of Malaysia as a constitutional democracy”, the group of G25 warned that Malaysians are already asking what has happened to the five principles of Rukunegara which was meant to unite the various communities into a happy and peaceful nation.

Members of Parliament must set the example to unite and not divide Malaysians of diverse races, languages, religions and cultures and come together, on the occasion of the 60th National Day anniversary and 57th Malaysia Day anniversary,   to “reset” the nation building process and government policies – keeping policies which are good for the country and correcting or abandoning policies which are bad for Malaysia, like a global kleptocracy which could only lead Malaysia towards a failed and rogue state.

My second lesson for Abdul Rahman Dahlan is the Confucian saying 名正才能言順 as he is not BN Director of Strategic Communications but BN Director of Strategic Lies

Today, I want to give Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan a second lesson, which is the Confucian saying  名正才能言順  as he is not BN Director of Strategic Communications but BN Director of Strategic Lies.

In a nutshell, the Confucian saying means that “The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name.”

If for political mileage and survival, Abdul Rahman must mastermind a campaign of lies, fake news and false information against the Opposition, don’t couch them as euphemisms when they are  downright falsehoods, like claiming that he is Director of Strategic Communication when he is nothing more than Director of Strategic Lies.

Abdul Rahman had been responsible for many “strategic lies” which include:

•	The most intense  and diabolical campaign of demonization directed at me in the past three months  in the UMNO/BN owned and controlled mainstream media and the social media with  lies, fake news and false information describing me as a devil, an hantu, puaka or even jembalang; that I am anti-Malay, anti-Islam; that I was the cause of the May 13 racial riots in 1969 (exactly 48 years ago)  although I was never in Kuala Lumpur during that period and was in fact in Kota Kinabalu on that tragic day of May 13, 1969; that I am a communist; a stooge of Singapore PAP, etc, etc.

•	The lie, fake news and false information of a secret meeting between Tun Mahathir and myself on Dec. 3, 2016 where we struck secret deal for Mukhriz Mahathir to be Prime Minister and me as Deputy Prime Minister when UMNO/BN are ousted from Putrajaya in the next general election;

•	The lies, fake news and false information  that there are DAP grassroots members and leaders who want a change of DAP party leadership and want me  to  retire from politics;

•	The lies, fake news and false information that I had masterminded electoral fraud in the DAP party elections in 2012, which is a new twist to a tissue of lies which had been concocted and disseminated in BN/UMNO misinformation  campaign in the past few years.

•	The lies, fake news and false information that Anwar Ibrahim, Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Wan Isamil , Tun Mahathir, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Mohamad Sabu are all my pawns and stooges, while to the Chinese ground, MCA and Gerakan propagandists go on a diabolical campaign to paint me as the stooge and puppet of Mahathir, Anwar, Muhyiddin and Azizah.

May be I should be grateful that in the latest campaign of lies, fake news and false information, I am not accused of having urinated at the flag pole at the official residence of the Selangor Mentri Besar  in Kampong Baru, Kuala Lumpur on the evening of May 13, 1969!

I am still waiting for Abdul Rahman’s reply to my question yesterday why he and the UMNO/BN leaderships are so afraid of me that they had to launch such an intensive demonization campaign against me although he claimed publicly  that I am an utter political  failure in the DAP and should go into retirement?

I am fully vindicated when yesterday I quoted the Chinese saying  朽木不可雕  to express my shock and sorrow that he is so unteachable because he is so unlearnable as Rahman has continued to score his own goal!

I was most amused that in the major offensive he masterminded against me in the UMNO/BN owned and controlled mainstream media like New Straits Times, Berita Harian, Utusan Malaysia, Bernama, Star and TV3 as well as the social media, he had recruited an army of cybertroopers whose “dirty work”  include concocting a “trending on Twitter” with hashtags like #ResignKitSiang.

Has Rahman a pathological compulsion to score his own goal, so he should be be concocting a “trending on Twitter” with the hastag #Don’tResignKit Siang so that he would stop scoring his own goal?

If Rahman just cannot grasp what I mean by him scoring his own goal, I am prepared to give him a free lecture.

However, Rahman  has now an opportunity to redeem himself, whether he is BN  Director of Strategic Communications or BN Director of Strategic Lies.

New Straits Times today gave a Page 10 page  headline of “MINISTRY: 1MDB DEBT-FREE”, Utusan Malaysia gave a three-column heading “1MDB langsikan semua hutang” in P. 16  while Star gave only a  small single-column heading in Page 26  “1MDB free of short- and long-term debts, says Najib” to answers by the Prime Minister-cum-Finance Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak to DAP MP for Bakri, Er Teck Hwa.

Clearly, Rahman has failed in his self-styled  job as BN Director of Strategic Communications  because  no news could be more “strategic” to UMNO/BN than that Najib had resolved the 1MDB scandal and freed 1MDB and the Malaysian Government of all 1MDB debts – which run into tens of billions of Malaysian ringgit, the largest  in Malaysian history!

The news that Najib had cleared 1MDB of all debts and resolved the 1MDB scandal,  which had  made Malaysia a global kleptocracy and Najib  and Malaysia the butt of national and international jokes, ridicule and contempt should be front page headline news screaming from all the newspapers and news outlets – not just the UMNO/BN owned and controlled ones!

But even UMNO/BN owned and controlled mainstream media, like New Straits Times, Utusan Malaysia and  Star hide this “strategic news” in the inside pages, (Berita Harian even omitted this “strategic news” completely), when they should  carry this as front-page headline news screaming that the 1MDB scandal, which had haunted and hounded Najib and Malaysia all over the world in the past few years, have been resolved and Malaysia has cleared itself of the curse, infamy and ignominy of a “global kleptocracy”.

Why the stony treatment for the “strategic news”  that 1MDB scandal is no more?

Is this because even UMNO/BN propaganda operatives know that the 1MDB scandal is very much alive, that it had not been resolved, and Malaysia cannot claim that it cannot be called a global kleptocracy because the international multi-billion dollar 1MDB money-laundering scandal is no more or had disappeared?

Rahman would do well to explain this “strategtic” development on  the 1MDB scandal and the pathetic UMNO/BN  attempt to mislead Parliament, Malaysia and the world that the 1MDB scandal has been resolved and  all the tens of billions ringgit of 1MDB debts settled, instead of going on a wild goose’s chase to try to demonise the Opposition with lies, fake news and false information.

Imagine the protest and demos all over the country if a DAP MP had proposed a Bill which is alleged to show contempt for the Malay Rulers!

Mohamed Tawfik Ismail, the son of the second Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman, yesterday filed a lawsuit asking the courts to declare that PAS President, Datuk Seri Hadi Awang’s private member’s bill to amend the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act (Act 355) is unconstitutional, and seeking an order from  the High Court in Kuala Lumpur to prohibit the Dewan Rakyat from allowing Hadi’s motion to be tabled and debated in Parliament.

The grounds advanced  by Mohamed Tawfik  was that Hadi’s private member’s bill was unconstitutional, flouts Parliamentary procedures and in contempt of the Rulers’ Conference as prior consent was not obtained.

Imagine what would have happened if there is a court application against the DAP on the ground that a DAP MP had submitted a private member’s bill which was in contempt of the Rulers’ Conference as prior consent was not obtained.

The Office of the UMNO Directorate of Strategic Communications/Lies would have swung into action and hordes of protestors and demonstrators would have demonstrated outside DAP offices in the country for being anti-Malay Rulers, making all sorts of demands, while on the cyberspace, the UMNO cybertroopers would be working overtime to demonise DAP leaders as having committed treason in showing disrespect and contempt for the Malay Rulers.

Nobody is suggesting a campaign of  protests and demonstrators outside PAS offices or a campaign on the social social media against Hadi for  his private member’s bill, but the time has come for Malaysians to realise that  Malaysian nation-building and politics should have reached a more mature level after 60 years of nationhood where epithets and labels of “anti-Malay”, “anti-Islam” or “anti-Rulers” should not be freely thrown about without any  evidence being given.

The recent farce where the UMNO Information chief out-sources hate speech to the general public, asking for evidence that I am ‘anti-Malay” and “anti-Islam”, should never be repeated again – if we are serious in wanting to build a united Malaysian nation out of our diverse races, religions, languages and cultures in the country.

Whether Hadi’s bill is in  contempt of the Rulers’ Conference as prior consent had not been obtained is a question which should be decided by the proper authorities.

Ke mana agaknya arah tuju PAS?

oleh Zamzani Husin

Roketkini

18 Mac 2017

Saya dapat membayangkan bagaimana rentan dan berkecamuknya hati penyokong tegar PAS apabila dikhabarkan Presidennya, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang sedang atau mungkin telah membahagi-bahagikan negeri untuk diperintah antara parti Islam itu dan seteru (lama?) iaitu UMNO yang kini di bawah pemerintahan Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Dalam satu video yang tular baru-baru ini, Hadi Awang di hadapan podium dengan penuh yakin dan ‘tawaduk’ berkata:

“Terengganu, Kelantan, Kedah, Perak, Selangor. Biar PAS memimpin. Negeri lain UMNO nak lagi biarkan dia. Biarkan dia,” ujar Hadi Awang yang ketika itu berserban dan berjubah putih dalam majlis pelancaran jentera pilihan raya PAS di Alor Limbat dekat Marang.

Mungkin hadirin yang mendengar ucapan Hadi Awang ketika itu ada yang tersedak atau tercekik kuih, atau terus membatalkan niat untuk meneguk air atau tak kurang juga yang mungkin menarik nafas lega memanjatkan syukur ke hadrat ilahi atas kurnian rezeki kerana impian untuk menyatukan umat Islam-Melayu akhirnya menjadi kenyataan.

Bagi yang percaya dan menyokong Hadi Awang, kisah penyatuan PAS-UMNO ini seolah-olah syurga dunia yang tidak boleh ditepis lagi, di hujung mata terlihat buah anggur melambai-lambai.

Dalam bayangan itu, segala skandal yang lahir dari perut UMNO seperti 1MDB, Felda, Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA), Tabung Haji dan banyak lagi yang melibatkan institusi Melayu bukan lagi satu isu ‘panas’ bagi PAS. Kerana matlamat yang lebih penting adalah untuk menyatukan umat Islam-Melayu yang terpisah sejak sekian lama.

Tapi dipisahkan oleh apa? Ideologi? Politik? Ini yang sering gagal dijawab ‘puak penyatu’ dengan tuntas dan secara saintifik malah penuh bertamadun.

Namun saya percaya, masih ada penyokong PAS yang waras dan sedar tentang permainan Hadi Awang yang sememangnya dilihat seolah-olah ‘gila kuasa’ apabila cuba membahagi-bahagikan negeri seperti dialog dua penyamun dalam filem Nujum Pak Belalang karya Allahyarham P. Ramlee: “Satu untuk kau, satu untuk aku” ketika membahagikan hasil curian mereka di sebuah gua.

Cuma berapa peratus penyokong PAS yang ‘menolak secara diam’ Hadi Awang, Allahu Alam, tidaklah diketahui oleh saya mengenai itu. Yang pastinya pilihan raya umum dan keputusan PAS dalam pembahagian kerusi akan menentukan jatuh bangun parti Islam paling lama bertapak di Malaysia itu.

Persoalan yang perlu dijawab kini, dan harus disegerakan oleh penyokongnya adalah ke mana arah tuju PAS selain menegakkan RUU 355? Adakah menjalin kerjasama dengan UMNO yang korup atas dasar ‘politik matang’ atau bersendirian dan kesunyian melawan segala ketirisan yang berlaku?

Mencari butang ‘reset’ buat menyembuh penyakit kakistokrasi Malaysia

oleh Izmil Amri

Roketkini

17 Mac 2017

Pagi tadi saya hidupkan semula telefon lama yang sudah separuh nyawa. Telefon pintar yang dibeli pada tahun 2014 itu telah saya ganti dengan yang baru. Pastinya lebih canggih dan laju. Namun kerana sedikit rasa sentimental, saya hidupkan kembali setelah hampir tiga bulan ia ‘mati’.

Meski sudah hampir ajal dengan bateri yang hanya bertahan tiga jam, saya kira ia masih boleh diguna untuk tugas-tugas ringan menjadi penggera bangun tidur dan buat memainkan radio. Maka telefon itu akhirnya saya ‘reset’ ke tetapan kilang, dan ia pun kembali ke fitrah asalnya.

Demikian nasib barang-barang elektronik zaman kini. Asal berpenyakit, tekan butang ‘reset’ maka sihatlah ia semula.

Tetapi kalau yang menanggung sakit itu sebuah negara, di celah mana harus ditekan butang ‘reset’nya.

Genap satu minggu yang lalu, Mahkamah Konstitusi Korea Selatan memutuskan untuk menyokong usul melengser presidennya, Park Geun-hye; wanita pertama yang dilantik menjadi presiden dalam sejarah negara republik itu.

Panel lapan orang hakim membuat keputusan terbabit, ekoran skandal rasuah melibatkan ‘penasihat’ kepada sang bekas presiden, yang menggunakan pengaruh dan kedudukannya sebagai sang penasihat untuk memaksa chaebol Korea Selatan (konglomerat kawalan keluarga) termasuk Samsung dan Hyundai supaya memberi ‘derma’ kepada dua institusi kawalannya.

Sang penasihat ini, Choi Soon-sil, meski tidak mempunyai jawatan dalam kerajaan, mempunyai fungsi besar terhadap hampir semua keputusan presiden, termasuk soal memilih beg tangan sehinggalah ke hal-ehwal urusan negara.

Korea Selatan, melalui mahkamah dan peruntukan undang-undang memberi jalan mudah untuk menyelamatkan negaranya sebelum penyakit bawaan sang penasihat menjadi barah yang tidak boleh dirawat. Dengan pemecatan presiden yang bermasalah ini (meski angkara penasihat), mandat baru untuk mentadbir negara dikembalikan kepada rakyat dengan jalan pilihanraya pada bulan Mei akan datang.

Perihal skandal mantan presiden Korea ini dipetik Ketua Parlimen DAP, Lim Kit Siang ketika sesi bertemu anak muda di beberapa lokasi.

Katanya enam puluh tahun lalu, ketika negara kita merdeka, Korea Selatan masih jauh ketinggalan berbanding Malaysia. Dengan kadar KDNK yang hanya satu pertiga berbanding Malaysia, Korea Selatan bukan sahaja mundur dari segi ekonomi, ia malah tidak mempunyai demokrasi.

Namun hari ini Korea Selatan muncul sebagai sebuah kuasa besar dalam ekonomi dunia, dengan KDNK per kapita AS$25,976 (2013) berbanding kita yang jauh ketinggalan setakat AS$10,538.06. Ia juga jauh ke hadapan dalam segala aspek ekonomi politik dan sosial, bahkan berjaya mempengaruhi sebahagian besar anak muda kaki k-pop dan peminat drama Korea, meski sepatah haram bahasanya tidak kita fahami.

Korea Selatan malah mampu memecat presidennya, yang terpalit skandal angkara penasihatnya.

Kakistokrasi

Malaysia sebaliknya sedang berada pada satu tahap tepu yang sudah tidak upaya dibantu, dan kita semuanya terkapar keletihan menangani asakan demi asakan hasil dasar sebuah kerajaan kleptokratik yang ditadbir secara kakistokrat.

Ya, saya pun baru belajar perkataan itu. Kakistrokrasi ertinya sebuah pentadbiran yang diuruskan oleh para bahlol yang tidak berkelayakan; atau secara mudahnya sebuah pentadbiran yang diurus dengan kaki, dengan otaknya di kepala lutut.

Perkataan ini asalnya Greek, gabungan kata ‘kakistos’ yang ertinya ‘paling buruk’; dan kata ‘kratos’ yang ertinya ‘pemerintahan’. Secara literal, pemerintahan oleh orang yang paling buruk.

Pentadbiran secara kleptokratik (satu lagi kalimat asalan Greek) oleh kaki-kaki United Malays National Organisation, adalah suatu penyakit berat yang mendambakan proses ‘reset’ yang amat rumit.

Di ambang ulangtahun ke-60 kita menyambut Hari Kebangsaan, barangkali masanya sudah benar-benar sesuai untuk anak semua bangsa saling berganding bahu untuk sama-sama mencari celah mana letaknya butang ‘reset’ Malaysia dan menekannya dengan penuh semangat.

Ini juga seruan Saudara Kit Siang, supaya segala penyakit yang memberati jasad tua negara ini boleh disembuhkan sedikit demi sedikit, bermula dengan usaha mendaftarkan jutaan anak muda yang sudah layak mengundi.

Ketika ditanya dalam satu acara, kenapa pada usia 76 tahun beliau masih gigih berjuang dan tidak putus asa, Kit Siang menyebut bahawa kerja yang dibuatnya bukanlah untuk manfaat diri dan anak-anak, bahkan perlu memikirkan masa depan cucu-cicit yang bakal mewarisi negara (beserta segala hutang piutangnya yang kian membelon pada angka RM655.7 bilion, 53.2 peratus daripada KDNK negara).

Ya kita semua letih dan lelah. Parti-parti politik kelihatan seperti Pepsi dan Coca Cola. Manis bergula dan membawa penyakit, baiklah minum air suam sahaja. Dua-dua pun sama, buat apa menaruh percaya? Kan?

Namun kekeliruan dan rasa hilang punca tidak boleh dibiarkan. Fokus massa rakyat harus kembali kepada agenda besar perjuangan untuk menyelamatkan Malaysia daripada terjerumus ke lembah kehancuran.

Asas utama dalam pertembungan pilihan raya tidak lama lagi ialah usaha menyelamatkan Malaysia dan menghentikan sebuah pemerintahan berterusan oleh sebuah parti kleptokrat selama 60 tahun lampau. Rungkai segala kusut masai, nyalakan pelita dalam gelap malam. Sampaikan khabar pengharapan, bahawa negara mesti diselamatkan. Dalam hal itu, kita langsung tidak ada pilihan.

Tekan butang ‘reset’ beramai-ramai. – Roketkini.com

Mengapa Mahathir berkawan dengan Kit Siang?

oleh Wan Hamidi Hamid

Roketkini

16 Mac 2017

Bagi kebanyakan orang Melayu, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad adalah pejuang bangsa. Dalam konteks ini, ia membawa dua maksud, iaitu bangsa sebagai kaum dan bangsa sebagai negara (nation).

Mereka yang menyanjunginya pasti tidak lupa amanat terakhir beliau sebagai Presiden UMNO sewaktu berucap di perhimpunan agung parti ke-54 pada Jun 2003 yang mengingatkan ahli dan pemimpin parti agar tidak mengkhianati bangsa, iaitu kedua-dua maksud bangsa; Melayu dan Malaysia.

Mahathir, Melayu dan Bangsa Malaysia

Dalam ucapannya beliau antara lain telah menyebut bahawa: “UMNO sebagai satu kumpulan yang penting, jika rosak, akan membawa padah kepada bangsa Melayu, bangsa Malaysia, kepada agama Islam dan kepada negara Malaysia.”

Istilah Bangsa Malaysia terkandung dalam idea beliau yang dirumuskan dalam Wawasan 2020 pada 1991 sebagai satu dasar kerajaan bagi mewujudkan Malaysia sebagai negara maju yang berteraskan kepada rakyat yang berdaya saing dan bermaruah.

Cabaran utama negara, menurut Mahathir sebagai Perdana Menteri pada masa itu, ialah mewujudkan Bangsa Malaysia bersatu yang mempunyai matlamat dikongsi bersama. Beliau yakin wawasan itu dapat dicapai jika cabaran tersebut dapat dilaksanakan.

Dalam ucapannya melancarkan Wawasan 20200 pada 28 Februari 1991, beliau menjelaskan:

“Cabaran pertama ialah mewujudkan negara Malaysia bersatu yang mempunyai matlamat yang dikongsi bersama. Ia mesti menjadi negara yang aman, berintegrasi di peringkat wilayah dan kaum, hidup dalam harmoni, bekerjasama sepenuhnya secara adil, dan terdiri daripada satu Bangsa Malaysia yang mempunyai kesetiaan politik dan dedikasi kepada negara.”

Kebanyakan orang Melayu bangga dengan kepimpinan Mahathir, terutamanya sepanjang pentadbiran beliau sebagai Perdana Menteri selama 22 tahun. Orang Melayu bukan sahaja melihatnya sebagai bapa pembangunan moden tetapi juga sebagai pemimpin yang mengangkat taraf orang Melayu.

Malah ramai juga orang bukan-Melayu yang memuja Mahathir, terutama atas dasar ekonomi pasaran bebas (walaupun keutamaan diberikan kepada usahawan Melayu)  dan kestabilan politik (dengan kawalan undang-undang termasuk ISA dan kekangan kebebasan bersuara dan media).

Walaupun tidak semua orang menganggap beliau sebagai wira atau tokoh, ia tidak menghalang jutaan ahli UMNO serta sekutu-sekutu parti tersebut untuk memartabatkan Mahathir sebagai tokoh besar Melayu.

Mahathir diserang UMNO-BN

Kini musim berubah. Mahathir yang melihat UMNO pimpinan Najib Razak sebagai sudah rosak, kini berkawan dengan Lim Kit Siang, tokoh veteran DAP yang selama ini dianggap sebagai musuh UMNO-BN.

Namun, bagi Mahathir dan Kit Siang, mereka rela mengetepikan cerita lama demi menyelamatkan Malaysia. Bagi mereka, musuh yang lebih besar adalah Najib Razak yang dilihat sedang membawa kepada keruntuhan bangsa dan negara akibat pentadbiran yang korup, kleptrokrat dan khianat terhadap amanah rakyat.

Di peringkat akar umbi – yang tidak disiarkan oleh media arus perdana – momentum sokongan rakyat kepada Pakatan Harapan + Bersatu semakin meningkat. Orang Melayu semakin terbuka hati untuk mendekati barisan pembangkang, khususnya mereka yang mengagumi Mahathir, dan mereka yang sebelum ini pernah percaya dengan fitnah terhadap Kit Siang.

Keadaan ini menyebabkan pentadbiran Najib resah. Seperti biasa, melalui kuasa, perundangan dan aparatus negara seperti media yang mereka kawal, UMNO-BN mula menyerang Mahathir dan Kit Siang secara habis-habisan.

Sasaran mereka adalah minda dan hati orang Melayu kerana mereka sedar status UMNO sebagai pelindung orang Melayu semakin rapuh. Ini adalah kerana Mahathir sendiri berkempen sana-sini untuk mendedahkan kepincangan pentadbiran Najib yang dikatakannya bakal merudumkan masa depan orang Melayu.

Apa yang media kawalan UMNO-BN cuba lakukan adalah memastikan orang Melayu tidak akan dipengaruhi Mahathir untuk mengubah kerajaan dalam pilihanraya umum akan datang. Walaupun mereka tahu Pakatan Harapan + Bersatu tetap berpegang kepada Perlembagaan Persekutuan yang sememangnya menjadi hak-hak sah Melayu dan kaum-kaum lain, mereka tetap menghamburkan fitnah demi mengekalkan kuasa.

Mereka tidak mahu orang Melayu berpeluang mendengar hujah Mahathir yang antara lain telah menjelaskan: “DAP, Amanah, PKR – ketiga-tiga parti ini telah menyatakan pendirian mereka, iaitu DAP dan rakan-rakan mereka akan patuh kepada Perlembagaan Persekutuan.  Mereka menerima kedudukan Raja-Raja. Menerima Islam sebagai agama rasmi negara. Mereka menerima kedudukan istimewa orang Melayu dan Bumiputera serta menerima Bahasa Melayu sebagai Bahasa Kebangsaan.”

Mereka juga mahu menutup minda dan hati orang Melayu daripada mendengar penjelasan Kit Siang: “Orang Melayu tidak akan berhadapan dengan mimpi ngeri sekiranya UMNO hilang kuasa dalam PRU14 akan datang. Najib hanya mahu mewujudkan ketakutan dan rasa panik di kalangan orang Melayu bahawa mereka akan kehilangan kuasa politik kepada orang Cina. Jika Najib tewas dalam PRU14, Perdana Menteri akan kekal Melayu dan beragama Islam, dan bukannya seorang bukan-Islam atau bukan-Melayu.”

Tolak perkauman demi harapan baru

Amat malang isu perkauman masih laku dalam politik Malaysia yang sepatutnya lebih matang apabila negara sudah hampir 60 tahun merdeka. Lebih malang lagi apabila generasi muda yang biasanya dianggap golongan berani dan berakal hanya mampu menjadi burung kakak tua untuk menjaja fitnah dan pembohongan.

Sepatutnya, apabila mendengar atau membaca tuduhan yang bersifat melampau atau perkauman, ia perlu diteliti. Seperti mana diri sendiri menjadi bengang dan marah apabila menyedari diri difitnah, seperti itu juga rasanya pihak-pihak yang menjadi mangsa fitnah UMNO-BN.

Kerana itulah Mahathir dan Kit Siang berkawan; demi menyelamatkan Malaysia daripada menjadi sebuah negara gagal yang bukan sahaja memalukan setiap warga tetapi juga akan menyebabkan setiap rakyat bakal menderita.

Selama mana persahabatan mereka boleh terjalin, ia terpulang kepada keadaan. Sedangkan lidah lagi tergigit, ini kan pula kerjasama mantan seteru politik. Dan seperti yang pernah didengar, politik adalah seni serba mungkin.

Kerjasama Mahathir dan Kit Siang melalui Pakatan Harapan + Bersatu mungkin bakal melahirkan semula usaha untuk mencapai wawasan Bangsa Malaysia, iaitu mencapai kesejahteraan bagi semua kaum termasuk Melayu, dan demi negara (nation). –  Roketkini.com

My third lesson for Abdul Rahman Dahlan –  邪不胜正 (Evil cannot triumph over good)

Today is April 1 or April Fools’ Day.  As part of April Fools pranks, some newspapers report fake stories to fool the readers.

This was what I thought when I saw the New Straits Times  Page 10 headline and report: “KIT SIANG ‘PRETENDING TO BE ELECTED LEADER’” with a second headline “Only those who are blind and naïve cannot see that the DAP adviser is a dictator, says Hamzah”.

I realized that this was not a April Fools’ Day prank, however,  when the other UMNO/BN owned and controlled mainstream media also carried the same story, making the top of Utusan Malayia Page 13 with the headline: “Kit Siang seorang dictator?” and the Berita Harian which devoted the whole of Page 9 to “Kit Siang pemimpin dictator: Hamzah”.

Clearly, this was deadly serious business – part of a massive propaganda psy-war against me!

I immediately thought of the BN Director of Strategic Communications, or to be more accurate, the BN Director of Strategic Lies, Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan, who in his desperation to demonise me as guilty of all sorts of misconduct and misdeamenours, has roped in a Federal Minister and UMNO Supreme Council member,  Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin  to join in the “fire” on me.

I do not know why Abdul Rahman chose Hamzah and why Hamzah tamely agreed to be Abdul Rahman’s pawn to attack me, as I had not said anything offensive against Hamzah, but I welcome and am prepared to take on  all comers from UMNO and Barisan Nasional who want to engage in a  political exchange with me.

As BN Director of Strategic Communications or more correctly, Strategic Lies, Abdul Rahman is trying a variation of Hitler’s Propaganda Minister, Joseph Goebbels’ infamous definition of Nazi Propaganda – that if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.

Abdul Rahman is varying Goebbels’ thesis to “If you tell a lie big enough and get more leaders repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”

UMNO Information Chief Tan Sri Annuar Musa was Abdul Rahman’s first guinea big to repeat Abdul Rahman’s lies in Parliament, and Cabinet Minister and UMNO Supreme Council member Hamzah Zainuddin has become Abdul Rahman’s second guinea pig.

Who will be Abdul Rahman’s third and subsequent guinea pigs? We will see.

Today, I want to give Abdul Rahman Dahlan my third lesson in “strategic communications” –  邪不胜正 (Evil cannot triumph over good).

Abdul Rahman had self-assigned  himself as the BN Director of Strategic Communications without any agreement or meeting of the BN Supreme Council in July 2015, and for the past 20 months, had done nothing to deal with the most “strategic” issue of the government-of-the-day, the country’s largest financial scandal, viz the 1MDB international money-laundering scandal which has made Malaysia the butt of national and international ridicule, mockery and contempt as a global kleptocracy.

If Rahman wants to talk  about “resignation” or “retirement”,  shouldn’t Abdul Rahman resign as BN Director of Strategic Communications for being unable to address the most “strategic” problem facing the government, unless the office of BN Director of Strategic Communications is indeed to concoct and spread “Strategic Lies”!

I am sure Abdul Rahman does not want to be reminded about his disastrous debut  as BN Director of Strategic Communications in July 2015, where he virtually made a “strategic error” a day in his first week in this new-fangled position, including:

1. To regard former Sarawak journalist Lester Melanyi as a “god-send” not only to end Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s intractable woes from the long-standing 1MBD scandal but an excellent occasion for him to surface as Najib’s new right-hand man replacing Jarjis Jamaluddin and Lim Kok Wing. Rahman broke the first rule in failing to check on Lester’s antecedents. Within 48 hours, he acknowledged Lester’s dubious character, which was why he could pen the infamous description “it takes a scum to know another scum”, defaming in the process not only Sarawak Report’s Clare Brown but also the Sarawak leaders of Barisan Nasional and even the Prime Minister himself.

2. To accept Lester’s video as gospel truth – or to use Rahman’s own words, “solid evidence of ‘a mission to criminalise Najib and 1MDB” – when other more discerning UMNO/BN leaders have refused to fall prey to Lester’s ramblings and hallucinations. In his first-day debut as BN strategic communications director, Rahman made big play of Clare’s alleged incriminating email to Lester confessing to forgery of 1MDB emails and documents but this was only “a one-day wonder” as Rahman had since been  too ashamed to talk about it  after the issue had been debunked by Clare.

3. Lester told Rahman that he had worked actively with Sarawak Report’s Clare Rewcastle-Brown to falsify documents for use on the website, but Rahman never asked for examples of such tampered documents – a reflection on Rahman’s gullibility and total absence “strategic” sense.

4. Rahman accepted without question Lester’s claim that only 10 per cent of the 1MDB documents on Sarawak Report are genuine while the remaining 90 per cent are all “created by Malaysian people, the opposition people”. Rahman clearly did not realise the vast and serious implications of such a statement, which raised the question  why it had not been possible to expose the lies and falsehoods of the various 1MDB allegations for the past seven years if 90% of them were baseless? A “strategic” failure indeed.

Can Rahman reveal where is Lester Melanyi now?

It would make a good April Fools’ Joke if Lester Melanyi could appear before Abdul Rahman today!

Fight your own battle Abdul Rahman, why you have to run SOS to  “MO1” to direct other UMNO Ministers and Deputy Ministers to come to your rescue?

Let me tell the Barisan Nasional Director of Strategic Communications, Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan: Fight your own battle, why have you  to run SOS to “MO1” to direct other UMNO Ministers and Deputy Ministers to come to your rescue?

Suddenly, in the last 24 hours, four UMNO Ministers and one UMNO Deputy Ministers have come to the rescue of Abdul Rahman, shoring support for the BN Director of Strategic Communications and opening fire on me as part of the latest UMNO/BN  demonization campaign.

But it is note-worthy that these four UMNO Ministers and one UMNO Deputy Ministers have abandoned the “anti-Malay”, “anti-Islam” allegations of the recent demonization campaign, which had been discredited by the RM10,000 offer (upped to RM50,000 within 24 hours) by the UMNO Youth leader Tan Sri Annuar Musa for the “best essay or social media posting” that I am anti-Malay and anti-Islam, which is  tantamount to an open confession that these mischievous UMNO/BN propagandists do not have a single proof that I had been anti-Malay and anti-Islam throughout  my 51 years of active politics.

They have instead focused on one aspect –  accusing me of being “dictator”, virtually alleging that I am “dictator”  in Pakatan Harapan and implying in the process that Tun Dr. Mahathir (who was Prime Minister for Malaysia and UMNO President for 22 years), Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (former Deputy Prime Minister and UMNO Deputy President), Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (former Deputy Prime Minister and UMNO Deputy President, and Ketua Umum for PKR), Datuk Seri Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail (PKR President and Ketua Pembangkang) and Mohamed Sabu (AMANAH President who had gone in and out of jail) were all my stooges.

I had previously worked with former Prime Ministers  Tunku Abdul Rahman and Tun Hussein Onn when they were no more Prime Minister and UMNO President. Did I also make Tunku and Hussein my stooges?

I never knew that I had some fantastic powers that I could make former Prime Ministers and former top UMNO leaders (both former UMNO Presidents and former UMNO Deputy Presidents) as my puppets and stooges.

I will urge the UMNO Ministers and leaders  to act with decorum as they can disagree with former Prime Ministers and  their former UMNO Presidents and Deputy Presidents, but they should not malign their character as if UMNO leaders, once they relinquish their positions, become morally worthless.

If so, what does it speak about the character of UMNO leaders, including themselves,  when they are no more in their top UMNO positions?

In making such insinuations, Rahman and the other UMNO Ministers and leaders are in fact maligning the Malay race, which I do not think is right and proper.

Most shocking of all, even Mahathir had been accused of being my stooge and puppet, although to the Chinese ground, MCA propagandists are spreading the  lies, fake news and false information  that I have become Mahathir’s puppet and stooge.

Mahathir and I are not stooge or puppet of the other, as we are honourable and self-respecting leaders who are co-operating in a common cause to save Malaysia from the curse, ignominy and infamy of being regarded world-wide as a global kleptocracy –  which if not addressed, will result in Malaysia becoming a failed and rogue state.

Mahathir and I are acting as Malaysian patriots to  join forces to save Malaysia from degenerating into a political and economic basket-case, and although Mahathir is much older than me coming to 92 years old, I am not young at 76, and we both have no agendas for personal advancement in our common patriotic cause to Save Malaysia from global kleptocracy.

UMNO/BN propagandists have spread the lies, fake news and false information that I am seeking Mahathir’s help to save Penang Chief Minister, Lim Guan Eng, from his corruption case.

If I had done that, I would not be able to look Mahathir in the eye, for I would have acted no different from an opportunist or hustler, who deserves no respect from anyone (with no condition to become anybody’s “dictator”)!

If Abdul Rahman really regards himself as BN Director of Strategic Communications, then stop acting as a BN Director of Strategic Lies.

In any event, can Abdul Rahman state when he was appointed by the BN Supreme Council as the BN Director of Strategic Communications and when such a BN Supreme Council was held, or did he just appoint himself to this position?

Malaysians must Save Malaysia, which lost it way in  failing to be an exemplary economic and political success in the last six decades, to reset nation-building directions and policies

My political life started in Batu Pahat, from my political interests in my school days in Batu Pahat High School.

My class of the Year 1959 in Batu Pahat High School had been quite  active and outstanding, as it produced six doctors including a surgeon (Dr. Chong Guan Chock, Dr. Chan Soh Ha, Dr. Hee Tien Lai, Dr. Chia Sze Foong  and Dr. Ow Yang Chee Wah), two engineers, two lawyers, two architects, two journalists,  two university academicians, an accountant,  a quantity  surveyor, a town planner, a timber grader,  a dozen educationists and teachers as well as others.

It produced three Members of Parliament who became a Minister (Datuk Mustapha Mohamad), a Deputy Speaker (Dr. Hee Tien Lai) and a Parliamentary Opposition leader.

I did not get involved in politics until 51 years ago, and I can still remember seeking the views of classmates at the end of 1965, and they thought that it was quite crazy for me to give up a comfortable and secure job as a journalist for the unknown challenges and terrain of direct political involvement.

The last 51 years had not been a holiday or a “bed of roses”, but a tough political journey and even a “crown of thorns”.

I still remember that in the 1969 general elections, the first contested by the DAP since our formation, our candidate for the Batu Pahat state assembly seat was Chian Heng Kai, who was later detained under the Internal Security Act for four years and nine months, but went on to become both Perak and Penang Member of Parliament (Batu Gajah and Bukit Mertajam) as well as Penang State Assemblyman.

Heng Kai scored an electoral record of sorts when he contested in the Batu Pahat state assembly seat in the 1969 general elections, as his election expenses did not  reach a four-figure amount, and he was assisted in his election campaign by less than ten election workers – two of whom are with us tonight at this dinner, my classmates Pek Teck Soon and Tan Tik Seng – but still with creditable electoral results.

I formally started my political journey 51 years ago, in my belief and idealism that it is the responsibility of every Malaysian to  do his or her utmost to make the country a more united, democratic, just, progressive and prosperous nation fof its citizens and future generations.

It had been quite a mortifying experience in the past three months, when  I was suddenly the target of a very high-level and well-orchestrated demonisation campaign in the UMNO/BN owned or controlled mainstream media as well as the social media to describe me as a devil, an hantu, puaka or even jembalang; that I am anti-Malay, anti-Islam, that I was the cause of the May 13 racial riots in 1969 although I was never in Kuala Lumpur during that period and was in fact in Kota Kinabalu on that tragic day of May 13, 1969; that I am a communist; a stooge of Singapore PAP, etc.

It is not a picnic to be the almost daily target of a high-powered and well-orchestrated demonisation campaign of lies, fake news and false information, but the consolation is that you are increasingly convinced that those who are behind this campaign of demonisation through lies, fake news and false information must be very frightened of me and about  their political future that they had to resort to such low-class  despicable tactics.

This has given me growing  strength to confront this demonisation campaign, for if those behind this demonisation campaign through lies, fake news and false information are honourable people, there is no need for them to resort to lies, fake news and false information, like a prize of RM10,00 quickly upped to RM50,000 within 24 hours, for the best essay or social media posting that I am anti-Malay and anti-Islam – a tactic not only to continue the demonisation campaign but a clear-cut confession by the masterminds of the demonisation campaign that they have no evidence whatsoever  that I had been anti-Malay and anti-Islam although I had been active in politics for 51 years!

Those behind the defamation campaign said that I have been in politics for 51 years and that I should retire from politics.

I do not know why the key UMNO/BN leaders behind this well-orchestrated demonisation campaign against me are so afraid of me, for if I am so “useless” and “ineffective” as they claimed, then they should logically  be rooting for me to remain in politics, and not  to demand  my political retirement unless I am a political threat to them.

Clearly, these UMNO/BN propaganda  “masterminds” are very confused and contradictory in terms of their  tactics, strategies and objectives.

The single most important issue confronting Malaysians today is how to Save Malaysia from a global kleptocracy and hurtling towards a failed and rogue state.

We have lost our way in the past six decades to be an exemplary economic and political success, with countries more economically or politically backward than Malaysia, or both, having overtaken us in the past five or six decades on both these fronts, becoming not only richer and more developed and prosperous, but more democratic and more respectful of the principles  of good governance and the rule of law.

Malaysians must Save Malaysia, which lost it way after some 60 years in  failing to be an exemplary economic and political success, to reset nation-building directions and policies in the coming years and decades to achieve our potential to be an example to the world of a  successful nation building of a plural society of diverse races, languages, religions and cultures in Malaysia both in the economic and political sense.

Najib has  beaten Mahathir to be “U-turn champion” following his U-turn reneging on  his announcement at the  UMNO general assembly last November to take-over Hadi’s bill

The Prime Minister and UMNO President, Datuk Seri Najib Razak has beaten former Prime Minister, Tun Mahathir Mohamad as the “U-Turn Champion” with his U-Turn reneging on his announcement at the UMNO General Assembly last November to take-over PAS President Datuk Seri Hadi Awang’s private member’s bill to amend Act 355.

In  Pekan in January this year,  the Prime Minister  ridiculed Mahathir as a “U-turn champion” but in less than three months, Najib has excelled Mahathir in ‘U-turn” performance.

Mahathir never denied that he had done U-turns.

This is what Mahathir said: “Yes, I did a U-turn. Only a stupid driver would drive straight on when seeing the road ahead has been blown up and is no longer passable. To support Najib who has been accused of stealing billions of Ringgit, and a dumb corrupt UMNO would make me a traitor to my country. Hence the U-turn.”

Are the reasons given by Mahathir for his U-turn not only good, rational and supportable? I think the overwhelming majority of people who are rationally-minded and have common sense will support Mahathir’s U-turn.

But will Najib’s receive overwhelming support for his U-turn?

I myself welcome Najib’s U-turn on RUU 355, reneging on his declaration at the UMNO General Assembly last November that UMNO/Barisan Nasional government will take over Hadi’s private member’s bill – a declaration none of the previous five Prime Ministers from Tunku Abdul Rahman, to Tun Razak (Najib’s father), Tun Hussein, Tun Mahathir and Tun Abdullah, would have made.

While I welcome Najib’s U-turn on RUU 355, it was a U-turn he should not have done if he had not made the shocking announcement at the UMNO General Assembly last November to take over Hadi’ private member’s bill.

Is there any guarantee that Najib would not make another U-turn in the near future to support and takeover Hadi’s RUU private member’s bill?

U-turn by itself is a value-free act – neither good or bad, right or wrong.  Just as Mahathir’s U-turn is commendable, not driving straight on when the road ahead is no longer passable or not becoming a traitor by  supporting someone  who had been accused of stealing billions of ringgit, Najib’s U-turn is good and commendable provided he can make a firm commitment that he would not make another U-turn on the same issue in the future.

Can Najib give a public pledge that he would not make another U-turn on the same issue in the future?

Revocation of police permit for Dr M-Nazri debate evidence  that the Najib government is running scared of the ordinary people demanding accountability for 1MDB  scandal; Najib has no answer to these questions and is unable to clear Malaysia of the curse, infamy and ignominy of being regarded worldwide as a global kleptocracy

I have just learned of the news of the revocation of police permit for the debate between former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and the Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz, less than 24 hours after the police had  earlier given its approval for the debate.

This is most shocking, outrageous and preposterous.

Only last month in South Korea, eight judges of the South Korean Constitutional Court unanimously decided to uphold the impeachment motion of the South Korean President Park Geun-hye in December, removing her from the highest office in the country, and she was arrested yesterday on charges related to abuses of power and corruption.

This is the strength and resilience of democracy and human rights in South Korea  when sixty years ago, any notion of democracy and human rights  in South Korea was non-existent as it was ruled by a dictatorship – at a time when   we achieved Merdeka  on August 31, 1957 with the pledge in the Proclamation of Independence of “peaceful and orderly advancement as a  constitutional monarchy based on parliamentary democracy”.

Forty-nine years ago on November 24, 1968, I had a  six-hour  “Great Cultural” public debate with Professor Naguib Alatas, then representing Parti Gerakan,  with a packed audience at the MARA Auditorium in Kuala Lumpur, but today, a debate between a former Prime Minister and an incumbent Cabinet Minister to be held at Dewan Sultan Muhammad Ke-5, Kompleks Karangkraf, Shah Alam organised by Kumpulan Media Karangkraf next Friday  has to be aborted because of  revocation of police permit for the debate.

Are we making progress in democracy and human rights or are we regressing and going backwards in the past six decades, where  a debate between a former Prime Minister and an incumbent Cabinet Minister in private premises could be regarded as a security threat and has to be banned by the police in a gross abuse of powers!

Those who had predicted that the powers-that-be in the Najib administration will never allow the Dr. M – Nazri debate had been proven right, for they had read correctly the  political mood, character and quality of the Najib administration.

Clearly, the Najib government is running scared of the ordinary people demanding accountability for 1MDB  scandal;  Najib has no answer to these demands and is unable to clear Malaysia of the curse, infamy and ignominy of being regarded worldwide as a global kleptocracy

This is  the reason for the farce and tragedy of  the Dr. M – Nazri debate –  from the venue  change from Padang Rengas to Kuala Kangsar originally  scheduled for March 25 and then shifted to Shah Alam for April 7,  with the issue of police permit yesterday and the sudden police ban  within 24 hours which came today!

I would have attended the Dr.M–Nazri debate in Shah Alam next Friday, just as I would have attended the debate if it had been held in Padang Rengas or Kuala Kangsar on March 25, as all Malaysians want to know more about the 1MDB scandal, which had caused Malaysians to be looked askance when abroad – the result of the curse, infamy and ignominy of Malaysia being regarded worldwide as a “global kleptocracy”.

Nazri was not in the centre of any decision-making process in the multi-billion dollar 1MDB international money-laundering scandal but he cannot disclaim responsibility as he is  bound under the principle of collective Cabinet responsibility  for all government decisions and actions.

Second Finance Minister, Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani has admitted that he does not have the full picture of the 1MDB scandal, and this is why no action could be taken against anyone for the 1MDB scandal. Johari cannot be more wrong.

Nazri may know only  about 25 per cent of the 1MDB scandal while Johari may know  close to  50 per cent of the 1MDB scandal but nobody doubts that there is one person in government – the  Prime Minister-cum-Finance Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak – who has the full picture of the 1MDB scandal, bearing in mind Article 117 of the 1MDB Memorandum and Articles of Association which provided that Prime Minister Najib’s written consent was required for any major 1MDB decision or transaction!

I suspect former Second Finance Minister, Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah has more information about the 1MDB scandal than  either Nazri or Johari, which might be the reason why Husni had finally quit his Ministerial post after suffering great stress detrimental to his health, causing him to fall  ill, over the 1MDB scandal.

The revocation of police permit for Dr M-Nazri debate  are evidence  that the Najib government is running scared of the people demanding accountability for 1MDB  scandal; that Najib has no answer to these questions and is unable to clear Malaysia of the curse, infamy and ignominy of being regarded worldwide as a global kleptocracy.

If Malaysians want to know the truth about the largest kleptocratic scandal in the world – the 1MDB scandal – they have only one choice: which is to vote in a new federal government in Putrajaya with the platform to conduct the fullest, deepest and widest investigation into the 1MDB scandal as the Najib government will never allow any professional, independent and wide-ranging investigation into  the 1MDB scandal.

Hadi should name the “mastermind” blocking his private member’s bill if he is not to be taken as an irresponsible political leader who make baseless allegations

PAS President Datuk Seri Hadi Awang should name the “mastermind” blocking his private member’s bill to amend Act 355 if he is not to be taken as an irresponsible political leader who make baseless allegations.

Who is this “mastermind” that can make the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak make a U-turn and renege on his announcement at the UMNO General Assembly last November that the government will take over Hadi’s private member’s bill?

Who is this “mastermind” who might even influence the Parliament Speaker, Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia on whether to allow Hadi to move his private member’s bill on Thursday?

Is this “mastermind” Najib himself or somewhere even more influential and powerful than Najib?

Is this “mastermind” in the Barisan Nasional, Pakatan Harapan or in PAS itself?

Or was Hadi making a baseless allegation which should not come from a leader of a political party, let alone a serious politician in the country?

Let us wait for Hadi’s answer.
