| Your Vote Makes The Difference Posted: 05 Nov 2012 11:07 PM PST FMT Why do we want to change the most successful political entity in our country's history? Umno has never failed itself! Like him, hate him; whatever you may think of Anwar Ibrahim, you cannot ignore him. His presence is overwhelming. For his detractors, he is the very personification of the excesses of Umno during his time as deputy prime minister and yet for those that have given up on Umno, he is the rising phoenix. And having risen from the ashes, he now soars like an eagle above everything else and waits to land. When and where will that eagle land? For those of you who are now in doubt about what good your vote can do in the millions to be cast during the 13th general election, I ask that you think again. How do you think Anwar was able to keep his sanity and the fire burning within him to bring much- needed change to the way our government works throughout his solitary confinement in Sungai Buloh? You and I have not reached the heights of office that he has, so we would never know what really went through his mind through the years of incarceration, but this much I know: he would have had enough time to reflect on the future – his and ours. His future and ours will be determined by that vote you will cast among the millions on polling day. If you have persuaded yourself that you want our government to do things differently, then you can be rest assured that there will be others of similar mind. If enough of us are persuaded thus, there we have it, our ability to make change happen. Umno won't change But what do we want to change? Umno? Why do we want to change the most successful political entity in our country's history? Umno has never failed itself. Every political pundit, every analyst worth talking to, every authority worth his salt and every expert on the future of Malaysia, most of them confidently say that the time for Umno's demise is nigh. Are any of them aware that Umno has won all of the last 12 general elections? At every twist and political turn, Umno has emerged victorious. How can you say Umno has failed itself when it has been the only government in Malaysia since independence? Every prime minister has been from Umno. What has Umno set out to do, it has done. Make every Umno president, their families, relatives, cronies, peers and sahabats wealthy beyond their wildest dreams? Done! Make Ketuanan Melayu its cornerstone for political survival? Done! Ensure that ethnicity – namely the Malays – will numerically outnumber the others through dedicated "pendatang asing" policies that welcome these immigrants and grant them citizenship – and in this way – ensures that the Malays now make up 60% of Malaysia's population? Done! Cement this numerical superiority by propagating a race-based "Ketuanan Melayu" policy that gives priority, economic advantage and "first among equals" advantage to the Malays in education, work opportunities and in all things Malaysian? Done! Ensure that all government departments and agencies, MACC, EPF, police, Rela and the armed forces are at the beck and call of their political masters? Done! Institutionalised money politics and endemic corruption into every nook and cranny of politics and into every facet of government functions? Done! Power of our vote It would be hard to persuade Umno and those that support Umno that we need to change the Umno-led Barisan Nasional government because it has been very successful in doing what it has wanted to do for itself. And there are many millions that think that there is no need to change this BN government. So the question we must ask ourselves today is this: are there enough of us out there who want change the way our government works? Are there enough of us to ensure that this happens? And we want change not through an armed insurrection, not through the winds of change that the Arab Spring blew violently across the Middle East, no, not through any other way but through the ballot box – our votes – if we are allowed to cast it freely at this 13th general election. That is why every one of your votes counts. That is why we want to change this Umno that has never failed itself but has certainly failed the people of Malaysia too many times in too many ways and for too long a time. It is time we ensured the survival of our nation by having a truly representative democracy – and this we can do by voting in a government of the people, by the people, for the people.

| Kenyataan Nurul Dimanipulasi, Mainan Politik Umno Posted: 05 Nov 2012 10:19 PM PST Umno-Barisan Nasional (BN) semakin terdesak sehingga sanggup memanipulasikan kenyataan Naib Presiden PKR, Nurul Izzah Anwar berkaitan akidah dan kebebasan beragama, dakwa Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim hari ini. Anwar, Ketua Pembangkang dan Ketua Umum PKR, turut membidas sikap tidak bertanggungjawab Umno-BN yang menjadikan persoalan agama sebagai alat permainan politik demi memastikan Umno-BN terus kekal relevan di negara ini. "Agama digunakan menjadi alat permainan parti politik bagi pihak Umno, dan ini tidak sihat, jadi ini menjadi sebab saya pandang serius. "Ini soal agama, bukan soal mainan politik, keyakinan orang, jadi Umno terus gunakan cara ini, kenyataan saya juga dah banyak kali dimanipulasikan Umno sebagai serangan politik," katanya kepada pemberita di lobi Parlimen hari ini. Anwar tidak menolak kemungkinan anaknya akan mengambil tindakan mahkamah ke atas media kerana membuat laporan berbentuk fitnah dan tidak benar berhubung kenyataan Nurul Izzah. Anwar mendakwa Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (Jais) berkemungkinan menerima panggilan telefon daripada ibu pejabat Umno mengarahkan supaya Nurul Izzah dipanggil untuk disoal siasat berhubung laporan yang dikaitkan dengannya bertajuk "Melayu bebas pilih agama?" yang disiarkan Mingguan Malaysia. Sementara itu, Nurul Izzah yang juga Ahli Parlimen Lembah Pantai, yang ditemui di lobi Parlimen, enggan memberi sebarang komen berhubung isu tersebut. "Saya dinasihatkan barisan peguam supaya tidak mengeluarkan sebarang kenyataan tersebut. "Bagaimanapun saya bersedia bila-bila masa dan bekerjasama untuk disoal siasat oleh pihak Jais jika dipanggil," katanya. |
| Panggil Juga Utusan, Kata Nurul Izzah Kepada JAIS Posted: 05 Nov 2012 10:14 PM PST Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (Jais) disaran turut memanggil wakil akhbar Utusan Malaysia bagi memberi keterangan berhubung laporan mengenai kenyataan Naib Presiden PKR, Nurul Izzah Anwar dalam forum 'Negara Islam: Versi Mana; Siapa Bertanggungjawab?, Sabtu lalu. Izzah berkata, beliau bersedia memberi keterangan kepada Jais jika dipanggil berbuat demikian dan mahu Utusan Malaysia juga disoal siasat kerana memutar belit kenyataannya. “Ya, saya harap dia (Jais) panggil Utusan Malaysia sekali sebab dia keluarkan kenyataan fitnah akidah tersebut,” kata beliau pada sidang media di lobi parlimen hari ini. Ahli Parlimen Lembah Pantai itu bagaimanapun berkata, beliau tidak boleh mengeluarkan sebarang kenyataan berhubung perkara itu pada masa sekarang atas nasihat peguam. “Saya mengajak semua untuk merujuk kenyataan saya dalam blog dan saya dinasihatkan oleh peguam untuk tidak lagi membuat kenyataan kerana peguam saya akan mengambil tindakan seterusnya,” katanya. Semalam, muka depan Utusan Malaysia menyiarkan artikel bertajuk ‘Melayu Bebas Pilih Agama?’ dengan memetik laporan portal Malaysiakini berhubung kenyataan Izzah. Akhbar Sinar Harian hari ini melaporkan, Pengarah Jais, Datuk Marzuki Hussin berkata, tindakan memanggil Izzah hanya akan diambil sekiranya pihak Jais menerima maklumat berhubung perkara tersebut bagi membantu siasatan. |
