CALON BN DISAMBUT ‘BARANG NAIK MARI DOH…’

KUALA TERENGGANU, 28 Feb (Hrkh) - Peniaga Pasar Borong Darul Iman di Gong Pauh, Wakaf Mempelam di sini berdailog secara spontan dengan calon Barisan Nasional (BN), Datuk Razali Ismail, menyatakan sikap mereka menolak BN.

Kedatangan Razali yang bertanding di Parlimen Kuala Terengganu bersama calon BN, Othman Awang di Dewan Undangan Negeri (Dun) Wakaf Mempelam pada pukul 10.30 pagi disambut peniaga pasar dengan: “Barang naik mari doh…”

Pasar tersebut yang memuatkan penjual sayur, ikan, ayam, daging dan barangan keperluan serta runcit secara serentak menyambut kedatangan calon BN itu dengan kata-kata tersebut. Bunyinya cukup lantang seperti tempat pembangkang berdemontrasi.

“Barang naik mari doh… itu merujuk kepada slogan kempen PAS iaitu `Ingat BN, Ingat Barang Naik’.

Dalam masa yang sama Razali mungkin mahu menunjukkan gentleman sempat berbual dengan pengunjung pasar yang berbaju kuning berslogan `Bersih’.

Razali: “Cantik baju…”

Pengunjung pasar: “Memang doh saya orang bersih. Kita nak bersih… Makan minum mahu bersih.., pilihan raya pun mahu bersih!”

Beliau kemudiannya beredar ke bahagian jualan ikan dan bertemu salah seorang peniaga meminta menyokong BN pada pilihan raya umum ke 12 ini.

Peniaga ikan: “Kita orang PAS Dato’…”

Razali: “Boleh apa sokong PAS? PAS boleh beri apa…”

Peniaga ikan: “Ni, pasar ni PAS buat…”

Menurut tinjauan rambang, Setiausaha Dewan Pemuda PAS Terengganu, Ustaz Wan Sukairi Abdullah berkata masyarakat peniaga melahirkan kekecewaan mereka terhadap kerajaan BN dan mahukan Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) dan PAS memerintah negara supaya harga barangan dapat dikawal.

“Peniaga bersungut keuntungan mereka semakin kecil berikutan harga yang dibekalkan pemborong sentiasa naik. Kerajaan pula tidak mampu bendong dan menyekat pemborong sebaliknya yang sering menjadi mangsa ialah peniaga kecil,” ujarnya.

Donald booed at church forum

Soon Li Tsin
Malaysiakini

It was proven in St Francis Xavier’s Church last night that comparing how Malaysia is better off than Burma will only result in boos and jeers.

This was the response that Petaling Jaya Selatan (PJS) parliamentary incumbent Donald Lim received when he used the same example on how well the country is doing - several times.

“Under the BN leadership, we are doing much better than Burma …” he said before he was interrupted by boos and jeers.

In a closed-door election forum attended by 250 parishioners, voters in the church were given a rare chance to hear both Barisan Nasional and opposition candidate slug it out on stage.

The deputy tourism minister was pitted against his opponent PKR’s Hee Loy Sian while Bukit Gasing incumbent Gerakan’s Dr Lim Thuan Seng squared off with DAP’s Edward Lee.

The session kicked off with the soft-spoken Hee introducing himself before explaining PKR manifesto to the audience.

Boos and cheers

This was followed by Donald’s pitch on BN’s past successes and his PJS manifesto for the city which includes battling crime and traffic problems.

Thuan Seng - who was late - gave a speech on his past achievements and how he has given his best to help his constituents.

Last speaker Lee was clearly the ‘star’ of the night when he promised to lobby for local council elections should he be elected and urged the people to be more proactive in handling community issues which drew applause numerous times.

The question-and-answer session resulted in many serious discussion surrounding PJ’s traffic woes and high assessment rates.

Lee drew cheers when answering several questions but Hee remained silent throughout since most of the questions were directed to the two BN candidates.

However, the session was mostly punctuated by humourous moments most notably when Donald developed a trend in his answers by saying ‘That is an interesting question’ and ‘You can call me and I will get it done’ for every question directed to him.

Asked to comment on how to stop talented Malaysians from leaving the country, the three-term PJS parliamentarian said he was ‘okay with it’ before talking about the ‘Malaysia My Second Home’ program which led to boos by the crowd again.

When a member of the audience asked Donald to talk about oil subsidies and profits by Pertonas, he said it was ‘not a state issue’ to more jeers from the audience.

The crowd also laughed at Donald’s expression as he passed the microphone to Thuan Seng several times to avoid questions.

Towards the tail end of the Q&A session, Maxwell Towers Residents Association chairman Victor Oorjitham had challenged the BN to sign a pledge that they help prevent Bukit Gasing from being developed and to get Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to make a public announcement that there will be no development on the 15.52 hectare secondary forest.

The crowd gave a standing ovation as Victor went up on stage to give the respective incumbents the pledge form.

Not signing pledge

However, Thuan Seng (right) declined to sign it but promised to get the Kuala Lumpur City Hall to disclose their development plans.

“I am not going to sign this pledge. When you talk about your rights, about justice and fairness but we must think about other people’s rights.

“I won’t say I can do this and that and perform miracles like somebody’s manifesto, they are bluffing. At the end of the day I will walk away with my conscience clear.

“If you want to vote me in or not this time, it’s your choice. I’ll do what I can for you. I’ll let my records speak for itself,” he said.

Meanwhile Donald said he can sign the pledge but is unable to get Abdullah to make a public announcement.

“If you come to see me, we can do something about it. What for I sign something that is impossible. Come see me, we can discuss ways to get around it,” he said to the amusement of the audience.

DBKL has approved land owner Gasing Meridian Sdn Bhd’s plans to build 142 bungalows on the green lung of Petaling Jaya.

Protests have taken place since 2006 from residents concerned with the possible land erosion due to the hill’s soil composition which may results in landslides.

The Catholic SFX parish has previously held a similar dialogue between the BN and opposition candidates in the 2004 election.

Wee - Whack the BN!

melvin-mah.blogspot.com

On Thursday night, lawyer Wee Choo Keong, who is competing in the upcoming general elections at Wangsa Maju, has called for the residents of the area to vote for a change, that is voting for Keadilan.


The crowd gathered at Section 1 of Wangsa Maju, adjacent to the LRT station and Jaya Jusco Alpha Angle in anticipation for the arrival of PKR's de-facto leader Anwar Ibrahim, who is on a one whole day working visit throughout various areas of Kuala Lumpur. Anwar arrived at the scene at 9.40 p.m, coming directly from another area. Supporters from the People's Front are also with him including the MDP members associated to Wee. The picture above is Anwar arriving at the scene in a limo.


Despite electricity blackout twice during the gathering, the proceedings went on with Anwar blasting the present BN government especially the sleepy head Abdullah Badawi for the nation's inefficiency. He has been repeating his points mentioned in the party's manifesto promising first of all, petrol price drop and meeting IGP Musa Hassan face to face if the Opposition front wins the election this round. He also blasted the Barisan Nasional for being arrogant and being daylight robbers of the public.


Anwar had to excuse himself as he had to rush to Setiawangsa, FT Minister Zulhasnan Rafique's territory for another 'ceramah'. Wee took the cue and told the public and those in present of the current problems. An appeal was also given to Wee from residents of Section 1. A problem that was addressed by Wee is that incumbent MP Yew Tiong Look only acted when election is around the corner and is deemed by the public as inefficient. He had repeated and calling for the change and teaching (read: whack) BN a terrible lesson coming March 8. The opposition's objective is clear: deny Barisan 2/3rds majority and they want to prove to the people that they can do better than BN. Other primary problems intended to be addressed by Wee include:

1. Improvement of the physical structure of buildings as it was torn and weary.
2. Better cleaniness
3. Improving traffic conditions
4. Better crime prevention

No sooner after 11.15 p.m, the are numerous people, some motorcycle riders are seen carrying the party flags along the main road of Jalan Genting Kelang. Also, a few trucks containing thousands of Barisan Nasional small-sized banners are seen parking at the shoulder of the road, ready to put the signs later on at this time of writing.

Also seen at the scene was satirist photographer TV Smith. You can look at his site in the later part of the day. All the pictures that are taken from here are taken by my own self.

Makkal SAKTI - People Power!

Haris Ibrahim at SS2 Petaling Jaya Ceramah

pray-for-malaysia.blogspot

You can view and listen to the actual video of Haris Ibrahim speaking at the DAP ceramah at SS2 Petaling Jaya at Haris Ibrahim at SS2 Ceramah. If you just want to read, here is the rough transcript (may be very very slightly different Haris's actual speech):

Semua ada baik? (Is everybody OK?)

Response: "Baik!!!!" (OK or good)

Ah, ini satu orang cakap betul. (Ah, this one person says the truth). Semua cakap baik (everyone says good). Mana ada baik (how can it be good)? Mana ada baik? (how can it be good?)

Kita mahu cakap terus terang (We want to say it straight and clear). Boleh minta izin (May I ask for permission)? (Boleh cakap Bahasa Inggeris? (May I speak in English?). Thank you.

Dr Cheah said, vote DAP for them. Vote DAP for DAP. I say no. Vote DAP for us. The first speaker said, DAP, DAP, DAP. But I said Rakyat, Rakyat, Rakyat (people, people, people or public, public, public).

I think even in Kepala Batas (Constituency of caretaker Prime Minister in Penang), Pak Lah (Abdullah Badawi), can feel the earth shaking with people power. Makal Sakthi (People's Power).

My friend, until 2004, I refused to vote BN (Barisan Nasional or National Coalition). I alway voted DAP (Democratic Action Party). Why? Because Dr. Mahathir had this policy he called it "Look East Policy". We all remember or not? Look East Policy. What we didn't know was this, when we all were looking East, his hands were in the cash register.

So when Pak Lah (Abdullah Badawi) came along, look at his face, look so innocent, how not to trust? And then he came out with his beautiful one page Manifesto. More public space, more civil society space, greater transparency, no corruption, more civil society space, more space for youth.

My friends. I went through that document again today. He said he wants to give us his report card. But never mind. I give him his report card. FAILED.

I said today to Pak Lah: "ku tak percaya kamu lagi" (I don't believe you anymore).

It is hard. You know, I am a lawyer. I don't do badly. The tolls go up, I still can afford. No, that is the truth, that is the truth, right? Most of you here pro can afford, but there are lots of people who are being affected.

so you can give us that statistics, about how the economy, the GDP has gone up. But go to the ground. Go to the ground and ask how the average citizen, how he is managing his finances at home. People are struggling. But he doesn't know because he can go from time to time to his nasi kandar restaurant in Australia. Stay in his bungalow there. Go on his yatch. Dia tak tahu lagi. Right?

Now we got to start looking after ourselves. We got to start to believe that if we want to change things, we can. But we must believe. All right?

We must also tell the political parties that come to us asking for our votes. Remind them that rakyat are the boss. We are the boss. WE ARE THE BOSS. Kebetulannya, rakyat adalah Yang Berhormat (actually, the public are the Respected or Honorable). Ahli Parliament Yang Berkhidmat (Member of Parliament are the Servant.

Now when I voted for BN in 2004, I tell truth, my biggest hope was that Pak Lah will start to clean up the Judiciary. It is the most important institution of the rakyat. When everything fails, when the economy fails, when your Parliament is not working, if you have a Judiciary that is honest, that is clean, that abide by its oth of office, the rakyat are still safe. Our property is still safe. Our liberty is still safe. My friends, Dr. Cheah mentioned just now. 50 acts to amend the Constitution introducing 700 amendments. This is our document. They took an oath. Everytime a Member of Parliament enter the Parliament, he taked an oath of office. What does he say? I swear to defend, uphold and preservere the Constitution. BN has been dismentalling our document systematically. In the process, taken away our rights. In the process, taking away our Constitutional Institutions.

We have been sitting back and allowing this to go on for too long. Why? Jangan don't get involved. ISA (Internal Security Act which allows for detention without trial). This they hope we will continue to fear. And as long we fear, they will rule the day. There are enough of us. I can see it here today. I see on the blogs. I see it on the Internet. I see it when I go to the kampung (village), when I go to have chats and talks. People are fed-up. You cannot tipu (bluff) the rakyat (people or public) all the time lah Pak Lah (Abdullah Badawi)!

Now I keep getting ??????. (how much time do I have?) Saya selalu dapat email dari orang (I always get email from people). Contoh, dari Puchong (example, from Puchong). Haris, sekarang you suruh kita, you cadang kita mengundi untuk pembangkang (Haris, you now tell us, you propose we vote opposition). Tapi saya kawasan PAS (but my Constituent is Constiutent of PAS)! Saya banyak dapat email ini (I gets lots of such emails). Kawan-kawan, saya cakap terus terang (friends, I say it straight and clear). Kalau dua tahun dari sekarang, saya pun mungkin risau (Two years earlier, I also is probably worried). Tapi saya cakap sekarang hari ini (but I say it today). Saya lebih percaya PAS dari percaya UMNO (I have more faith in PAS than in UMNO). Saya cakap ini hari (I say it today). Ahli politic PAS lebih iklas dari UMNO (the PAS politicians are more sincere than the UMNO politicians). Kita jangan takut (we need not fear). Kita sudah dengar, PAS sekarang mahu bertanding 60 seats (we heard, PAS wants to contest for 60 seats). 60 Parlimentary seats. Now 60 Parliamentary seats, let's say they win all 60 seats. That means UMNO lost 60 seats already. Alright, PAS against UMNO. PAS by itself cannot form the government. Correct? And over the last 2 weeks, I don't know how many of you have heard of this document "Declarasi Rakyat" (People's Declaration). Dengar ah (did you hear)? Cantik punya dokument (beautiful document). I am very happy to say, DAP endorsed the document. PAS endorsed the document. PKR endorsed the document. PSM endorsed the document, MDP endorsed the document. Pasuk endorsed the document. Tuan-tuan dan puan-puan, ini sekarang adalah Barisan harapan rakyat (ladies and gentlemen, this is now the Coalition of the People's Hope).

Saya cadangkan, kita jangan risau (I propose, we need not worry). Mungkin ada yang di sini yang bukan dari PJ Utara (maybe some of you here are not from PJ Utara). Kalau PJ Utara, cantik (if you are from PJ Utara, great). Siapa you punya calon (show is your candidate)? TONY PUA. Tony Pua. Professional, pakar ekonomiks. Saya tak mahu sentuh ekonomiks. Dia pakar. Saya tak mahu sebut (I don't want to mention it). Nanti dia cakap saya silap (afterwards, he may say I am wrong). Tadi Dr. Cheah sudah cakap, kita mahu orang professional, Orang pakar di Parliament (Just now, Dr. Cheah said we want professions, specialists in the Parliament). Kita harap, kalau kita pilih orang yang bertangung jawab, orang yang memahami bidang dia..... (we hope if we vote for responsible people, people who know their specialities......) , dan paling penting, memahami amanah rakyat (and most important, understand public's trust). Saya cukup yakin (I am confident enouth). calon DAP di PJ Utara mendekati dan dan memenuhi ????? yang saya sebut tadi (. Dia calon yang cukup sesuai. Dr. Cheah kata, deny the BN the two-third majority. But I believe in the power of positive thinking. We don't only hope to deny two-third. Kita minta, kita mahu menubuh kerajaan. Sebab rakyat sudah bosan dengan Barisan Neraka. Correct, correct, correct ah? Correct, correct, correct, betul, betul, betul, ....

saya sudah bosan. Dua minggu dalam Komission, saya sudah mahu bunuh diri. Tak boleh tahan.

My friends, yes, we stand here, we laugh. But we face a very serious situation in this country. It is our country. We must take our country back. Right? Now I heard also one speaker talked about 20% for the Chinese, and 9% for the Indians. I do not subscribe to this. For a long time, I do not believe that I am anything else other than anak bangsa Malaysia. Now I do not see Chinese or Indians because I see anak bangsa Malaysia. I believe that DAP and the other opposition parties, are non-race based, and this is the way the country needs to move forward.

Now I think it was late last year, November. Gerakan, during the assembly. suggested to Pak Lah. Maybe it is time for us to leave aside race based politics. What did Pak Lah says, the rakyat are not ready. He don't want us ever to be ready.

As long as they continue the race-based politics, they will continue to divide us. They will continue to divide us. They will continue to divide the economic pie. UMNO will say, this bahagian we want to give to our people. You don't ask us how we divide. OSA.

And we know it. It never reaches the poor. The portion of the pie that is cut for the Chinese, never reaches the poor. We need to now take this country back and make sure the needy anak-anak bangsa Malaysia in this country, are helped from now on. Correct.

Now I am confident, I am confident, that our friends in the DAP and other opposition parties, if given the mandate, will honor our expectations.

But the important thing to know is this. If we can put them in. We can take them out. Betul? Sebab rakyat kuasa. But I am very very confident. That our friends, who are now called the opposition, if they come to power, will honor their obligations with us. My friends, I understand there are also a few other speakers. And perhaps we should give them the opportunity. I thank you for listening.

Siapa Yang Kena Berjimat? Rakyat ke UMNO?

Zaman pemerintahan Pak Lah ini banyak dibuat ekspedisi membazir. Terjun di Kutub Utara, menawan Everest sekali lagi dan Ekspedisi Ekstrem 7 Benua. Memang zaman TDM tidak kurangnya dengan ekspedisi demikian, tetapi beliau meletakkan peserta ini sebagai wakil Malaysia.

Apa yang terjadi di zaman Pak Lah, mereka ini adalah wakil UMNO. Putera UMNO lah, ahli UMNO lah. Apa benda ni? Sedarkah mereka ramai anak-anak ahli UMNO perlukan wang tersebut untuk pendidikan? Bagaimana untuk menjadikan rakyat cintakan negara jika kerajaannya sibuk mempolitikkan apa sahaja yang boleh?

Orang Melayu memang bodoh dengan cita-cita bodoh. Dulu nak bawa roti canai dan teh tarik ke angkasa, lepas tu nak main batu seremban dalam kapal angkasa, lepas tu panjat sana, terjun sini, sedangkan anak bangsa masih ketinggalan dari semua segi.

Berhentilah membazirkan duit. Adakah duit itu datang dari duit poket Hishamuddin & Khairy sendiri?

Dua calon PKR dikejar 'pembeli'

malaysiakini

Telefon tangan Rahamat Idil Latip terus berdering-dering walaupun ketika diwawancara Malaysiakini.

"Mereka kejar saya sejak hari penamaan calon. Mulanya mereka mencari di sekeliling kampung bakal calon, pencadang dan penyokong.

"Kini mereka pergi selangkah lagi - menawarkan saya wang tunai RM300,000 agar menarik diri," kata Idil sewaktu bersarapan dekat pejabat PKR di Matang, Kuching.

Idil, calon Santubong, mencabar BN-PBB Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, penyandang selama empat penggal di kerusi parlimen itu. Idil juga ketua angkatan muda PKR Sarawak, manakala Wan Junaidi pula ahli majlis tertinggi PBB yang dilantik.

"Saya katakan pada mereka RM300,000 itu terlalu sedikit ... tidak cukup untuk bersuka ria, dan dengan berjenaka kata pada mereka agar membeli saya RM3 juta. Mereka fikir saya serius, dan berkata akan membincangkan perkara itu dengan orang atasan mereka," tambah Idil.

Idil sedang memikirkan langkah selanjutnya tetapi perkara itu sengaja dirahsiakan.

Seorang lagi calon PKR, Hussain Abang Apok, telah membuat laporan polis selepas menerima ugutan melalui SMS malam tadi kerana enggan berunding tentang penarikan dirinya.

PKR kini bersaing tiga penjuru di Kota Samarahan dengan calon BN-PBB Sulaiman Abdul Rahman Abdul Taib, anak korporat ketua menteri Abdul Taib Mahmud, dan calon bebas.

Menurut jurucakap rasmi parti itu, Hussain menerima satu panggilan daripada seorang wanita yang memperkenalkan diri sebagai Zaiton untuk berunding agar beliau menarik diri daripada bertanding di situ tetapi beliau menolak.

Kemudian muncullah SMS ugutan dari nombor telefon yang sama.

Pada 9 malam, Hussain dengan beberapa penyokong ke balai polis untuk membuat aduan.

Polis setakat ini menyimpan kad SIM telefon Hussain untuk siasatan.

Sulaiman pertama kali bertanding, mewarisi kerusi itu daripada bapanya yang memegang kerusi itu selama hampir empat puluh tahun. Taib Mahmud menang tanpa bertanding pada 2004.

Kota Samarahan mempunyai 24,412 pengundi berdaftar, hampir 50 peratus Iban manakala suku Melanau pula 40 peratus.

Dalam peraturan pilihanraya, calon-calon dibenarkan menarik diri sehingga 12 tengah malam tadi, tiga hari selepas penamaan calon Ahad lalu.

Sementara itu Idil memperkecilkan dakwaan Junaidi bahawa di kawasan itu tidak ada isu yang boleh dibangkitkan pembangkang.

"Banyak isu - pemansuhan hak-hak adat, isu tanah dan rancangan pembangunan sifar," katanya, sekadar menyebut beberapa isu.

Beliau memberi contoh Kawasan Perindustrian Bako - selepas siap beberapa tahun dulu, kebanyakan kilang di situ masih lagi kosong.

"Projek ini bernilai jutaan ringgit. Saya fikir tidak lebih lima lot kilang dan satu lot kedai sudah diduduki, selebihnya menjadi sarang menternak nyamuk,” katanya.

Idil juga berkata penduduk Kampung Muhibbah di Pending masih menunggu sebuah jeti batu dibina - bukan setahun atau dua, tetapi sudah lima puluh tahun.

"Pergi ke Kampung Tabuan dan lihat sendiri betap buruknya sistem perparitannya, yang menjadi wabak denggi, sementara masalah sosial di Demak Laut telah mencecah peringkat kronik," katanya lagi.

Di Santubong, 91.1 peratus pemilihnya Melayu/Melanau, 5.3 peratus Cina dan 2.3 Iban daripada jumlah 30,836 orang.

Ska ndal pemimpin Kedah sewaktu lawatan rasmi di Perancis

detikdaily
Oleh –Ruhanie Ahmad

Saya menerima banyak info panas mengenai PRU12 dari seluruh negara. Ia dikirimkan menerusi komen dalam blog kudakepang, menerusi SMS, panggilan telefon dan menerusi faks.

Contohnya, seorang eksekutif muda di Kuala Lumpur, tetapi pulang ke kampung halamannya Kedah untuk mengikuti PRU12, telah mengirimkan info bahawa sehari sebelum Hari Penamaan Calon, DUN Mentalon telah “dibom” dengan CD mengenai skandal salah seorang calon yang bertanding di DUN tersebut.

Kata pengirim SMS itu, CD berkenaan mengisahkan skandal seorang pemimpin Kedah dengan salah seorang wanita warga UMNO sewaktu dalam rangka lawatan rasmi di Peranchis.

Satu faks yang dikirimkan kepada saya, juga dari Kedah, pula mendakwa kononnya “barisan calon BN” Kedah kali ini “akan menggadaikan Kedah kepada pembangkang.”

Penggadaian ini kononnya berlaku bila “sekurang-kurangnya enam kerusi Parlimen dan sejumlah besar kerusi DUN” akan jatuh ke tangan pembangkang akibat “pemilihan calon yang tidak menepati kehendak pengundi tempatan atau calon payung terjun yang tidak berpenglaman.”

Selanjutnya, ada pihak menuduh Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi “melakukan kesilapan besar dalam memilih calon” di Kedah “atau beliau dipengaruhi oleh tangan-tangan besi yang berkuasa di sekeiling beliau.”

Malam ini, saya pula menerima satu panggilan telefon yang menyatakan bahawa kedudukan BN di Kedah amat membimbangkan. Di sesetengah kawasan Parlimen, katanya, bilik gerakan BN seolah-olah lumpuh.
