Koyak kalau meluat!

miorisfandy-politics.blogspot


Setelah bosan dan meluat dengan prestasi Tan Sri Rashid sebagai Pengerusi SPR, Gabungan Pilihanraya Bersih & Adil (BERSIH) telah bertindak mengoyak gambar Rashid di hadapan para media yang dijemput ke sidang akhbar BERSIH pada 1hb Februari yang lalu.

Tindakan ini memberikan pelbagai respon kepada parti politik. PAS / BA tentunya teguh dengan pendirian mereka kerana mereka telah menghantar wakil untuk terus komited dalam agenda BERSIH sejak ia diwujudkan lagi. Perdana Menteri yang merupakan Presiden UMNO mendakwa bahawa tindakan itu adalah satu tindakan yang melampau dan tidak ada adab. Beliau juga menggesa sekiranya perkara itu melanggar batas perundangan, ambil tindakan ke atas mereka yang melakukan sedemikian.

Mengikut Perlembagaan Persekutuan, Perkara 114 (Keanggotaan Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya) (2), ‘Pada melantik ahli ahli Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya, Yang DiPertuan Agong hendaklah memandang kepada mustahaknya diadakan satu Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya yang mendapat kepercayaan awam’.

Tindakan ini mungkin berpunca dari sikap Rashid yang hilang integriti dan kredibilitinya sebagai seorang Pengerusi yang mesti mendapat kepercayaan awam. Rashid seringkali mengungkapkan beberapa kenyataannya yang mirip menyokong pihak kerajaan atau BN.

Kenyataannya yang berbunyi seperti ini, “Saya tidak boleh berbohong yang saya tidak tahu bila (tarikh) pilihan raya umum akan datang. Saya tidak dapat beritahu bila masanya, tetapi saya telah beri cukup peringatan untuk semua pihak membuat persediaan,” – UtusanMalaysia, 16 November 2007. Masakan Rashid tahu tarikh pilihanraya sedangkan tarikh itu sehingga ke hari ini pun belum diumumkan oleh PM. Mungkinkah sudah ada pre-counsel dikalangan mereka?

Bagaimana pula ulasan yang dibuat olehnya ketika Hakim Muhamad Kamil Awang telah menolak keputusan pilihanraya di Likas. Apa yang beliau katakan, "Hakim itu sendiri tidak periksa... dalam 'one side', hakim itu sendiri 'bias' (berat sebelah). Hakim itu got frustrated with certain things dan dia gunakan ini untuk pukul kerajaan bukannya Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR)," "That was a biased penghakiman. Semua orang bersetuju it was biased penghakiman. Dia tidak melibatkan pengundi hantu," Natijahnya, Kerajaan BN telah mengambil peluang meminda Akta Pilihanraya 1958 Seksyen 9A yang menjadikan Daftar Pemilih setelah diwartakan ”tidak lagi tertakluk atau boleh dicabar, dinilai semula di mana-mana mahkamah”.

Banyak lagi tindakan dan ucapan yang dibuat oleh Rashid sehingga boleh membunuh karakternya sebagai Pengerusi SPR. Sebenarnya Rashid sudah lama boleh berehat sebagai pengerusi, sebaliknya tindakan ahli Parlimen BN dengan menggunakan kuasa super-fastnya telah membuat aksi bulldozer dengan meminda Perkara 114 (1), Keanggotaan Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya adalah terhenti memegang jawatan apabila mencapai umur enam puluh lima tahun atau apabila hilang kelayakan dibawah Fasal (4) dan boleh pada bila-bila masa meletakkan jawatannya dengan mengutus surat yang ditandatangani olehnya kepada Yang DiPertuan Agong. Akhirnya, Rashid boleh meneruskan khidmatnya sebagai pengerusi apabila Parlimen bersetuju untuk meminda usia persaraan pengerusi dari 55 ke 56 tahun.

Sama-samalah kita saksikan bagaimana hebatnya SPR pada kali ini mengurus tadbir PRU ke-12 dengan disaratkan lagi dengan isu-isu yang panas dan menekan BN yang berkuasa selama 50 tahun di Malaysia. Kita juga akan lihat, samada tuntutan BERSIH juga akan dilayan oleh SPR atau dibuang sahaja ke dalam laut. SPR hanya berpendapat, PRU yang telus dan bersih adalah HANYA menggunakan peti undi lutsinar sebanyak lebih 50 ribu unit. Difahamkan juga, peti undi itu berharga RM 350 seunit!!

Adakah ini yang dikatakan bersih, telus dan adil! Cukuplah RASHID!

LEPAS KOYAK GAMBAR RASHIT, KOYAK GAMBAR PEMIMPIN BN PULAK

Ada jugak mangkuk mangkuk yang masih beranggapan untuk menangani orang jahat perlu jadi baik. Tunjukkan kebaikan untuk menentang kejahatan.

Aku rasa mamat tu silap cara. Hendak berbuat baik biar lah bertempat. Hendak berbuat jahat pun ada tempatnya. Masakan orang biadap di layan baik pada ketika ketika tertentu. Kalau begitu, orang yang merogol saudara kamu dihadapan mata dinasihatkan cara baik....kan bagus. Dilayan dengan makan minum dan contoh perlakuan terbaik kamu. Ehhhh....bukan masanya beb.

Kalau ikut pendapat aku, orang jahat dibalas jahat dan orang baik di balas baik. Kalau orang baik, 10 kebaikan kita berikan dan kalau orang buat jahat, 10 kejahatan kita lakukan. Baru padan muka.

Kalau koyak gambar rashit itu biadap, apakah cara terbaik untuk ajar mangkuk seperti itu?

AAB threatened Bersih for tearing EC chairman's photo

ktemoc.blogspot.

“One of the great attractions of patriotism it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what's more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous.”

- Aldous Huxley

So, some Bersih leaders tore the photograph of the Election Commission chairman, Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman, in protest (or disgust) at what they perceived as his lack of even handedness, or in his failing to exhibit the required neutrality as the supposed ‘umpire’ in federal and state elections.

Neutrality? This was the bloke who had the unmitigated and brazen cheek (or plain stupidity) to say Only one 'regime' is capable of running the country, where he had shamelessly said:

“A lot of people are anxious to determine the type of regime that is going to handle Malaysia in the coming years. They are always talking about regimes. I never talk about regimes. There is only one regime in this country that is capable of running (the country).”

“People get angry with me whenever I say this (but) people don’t seem to understand the critical scenario in the country. What is it that can (take) over from the present one given the political scenario we are in?”

I had then blogged: 'That’s not your bloody business, Abdul Rashid! If you have any decency and are fearful of answering to God, you should resign from the EC and join your favourite regime as a party faithful instead of sitting in the publicly paid job as a supposedly neutral and independent Election Commissioner, when you're obviously not.'

'The EC should be immediately sacked by the King on the urging of Parliament for his officially declared political bias. But I guess in making this procedurally correct and justified (but bloody silly) call I am just pissing into the wind.'

'Then he showed his UMNO bias, not that we weren’t aware of that but his daring was staggeringly breath-taking, in speaking out aloud at a seminar on Malaysian political development organised by the political science department of the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) in Kuala Lumpur today.'

Can you blame people, let alone Bersih leaders, for viewing this man with utmost disrespect, disdain and disgust?

Abdul Rahman knows our feelings because he made his next stupid statement by asking for the power to sue critics who make allegations against the EC. Basically he wants to silence anyone who raises complaints against him and the several unexplained decisions and actions of the EC.

I gave him a piece of my mind in Chairman of EC should resign. I was disgusted by his nerve in making a political statement against his accusers who had complained of vote-rigging. He accused them as: “… traitors (for hurting the image of the country).”

I blogged: 'Whether those accusers are traitors or not is not for you, Abdul Rashid a public servant, to open your big mouth to say. You should immediately apologize for your reckless slandering of members of the Malaysian public.'

So Bersih tore his photo as a symbolic gesture of their dissatisfaction at what they see as his lack of neutrality and independence as the chairman of the EC, and what did our PM do?

Instead on falling back on his renowned ‘elegant silence’ he too had to blunder into the disgraceful episode by threatening to take action against Bersih for tearing up photos of Abdul Rashid.

Malaysiakini tells us in Tearing up Rashid's photo: PM mulls action that AAB said:

“We should take action if there are laws that provide for punishment for such an action. They’re rude and disrespectful. There are other ways to air their disapproval."

Since when has the photo of Abdul Rashid gained the hallowed sanctity of the iconic Jalur Gemilang?

When the PM of our nation threatens harmless acts of democratic expression with the law (whatever that is nowadays) it speaks ill of our nation’s state.

The village bully is back!

BERSIH: Tearing Rashid’s photo was an act of protest

colour-blind

The tearing of the photo of Rashid was a symbolic act by the BERSIH leaders as a protest for his arrogance, weaknesses and wrongdoing as the chairman of SPR. Nothing more, nothing less.

I joined the other BERSIH leaders readily yesterday because I too believe that Rashid has been and continued to be the biggest stumbling block in the cause of electoral reforms.

This is no difference from the burning of effigies of political leaders in the streets by demonstrators all over the world.

AAB is making an issue out of it as he has ran out of issues to attack BERSIH. No?

I hope to find out how many Malaysians actually agree with AAB.

There’s no big deal, Mr AAB.

To me, there are so many burning issues which AAB should comment as the prime minister of this country. But he usually kept his ‘elegant silence’.

Back to the issue of Rashid’s failures as the EC chiarman. If he thinks that BERSIH was wrong to put him in disrespect and disgrace, I challenge him to state clearly what were his contributions as the EC chairman all these years. List them out, Rashid.

If he likes, accept our challenge for a public debate. Many has challenged him for a debate. But he has no guts to face it.

Yes, Rashid. You can name any one of us in BERSIH for the debate.

We are waiting for you.

( Those who are not very clear about how Rashid has betrayed out trust as the EC chairman, log on to the official BERSIH website.)

Tearing up Rashid’s photo: PM mulls action
Malaysiakini

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi believes that the government should take action against electoral reforms pressure group Bersih for tearing up photocopies of Election Commission chairperson’s picture.pak lah abdullah ahmad badawi talking 131106“We should take action if there are laws that provide for punishment for such an action,” Abdullah was quoted as saying by Bernama today.

Several Bersih leaders tore pictures of Election Commission (EC) chairperson Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman yesterday to protest the latter’s apparent lack of commitment towards electoral reforms.

Commenting on this, Abdullah said that Bersih leaders had been “disrespectful” and had gone overboard in their actions, which he believes is unprecedented.

“They’re rude and disrespectful. There are other ways to air their disapproval,” said Abdullah after attending the Universiti Malaya Alumni Day today.

PM defends Abdul RashidDefending Abdul Rashid’s track record, Abdullah said that he had discharged his duties well and had conducted fair, clean, transparent and democratic elections.

Abdullah also hit out at Bersih members for tearing Abdul Rashid pictures even when the EC had met opposition demands to introduce indelible ink and transparent ballot boxes.

“If all these while, what it has been done is not good and the changes being made now (in this elections) are also not good, bring the matter to court,” said Abdullah, reportedly in a stern voice.

During the last parliamentary sitting in December, Abdullah’s administration had amended the Federal Constitution to extend the 65-year-old age cap for EC Board members to 66.

Critics including Bersih hit out against the move, claiming that it was an attempt to retain Abdul Rashid as EC chairperson for the upcoming general election. Abdul Rashid turned 66 last month.

Abdul Rashid has served as EC since 1979, starting as the commission’s secretary before being appointed chairperson in 2000.

FrustrationExplaining the purpose of tearing up Abdul Rashid’s photo yesterday, Bersih secretariat member Dr Dzulkifli Ahmad said that the coalition wanted to send a message to the former that he was hampering electoral reforms efforts.

Elaborating, Dzulkifli said Abdul Rashid had yet to fulfil Bersih’s demands for ‘clean’ electoral rolls, extending campaigning periods and abolishing postal voting.

Dzulkifli however stressed that the move to tear the picture was merely a symbolic act and not meant to be a personal attack.

Abdul Rashid had previously warned that he would take legal action against those who spread slander against him.
