Bangkitlah Melayu

KUALA LUMPUR 14 April – Orang Melayu perlu bangkit dan bersatu dalam berhadapan dengan tuntutan kaum lain yang kini dilihat semakin keterlaluan.

Mereka juga perlu sedar dan insaf dengan situasi politik semasa yang menyaksikan pelbagai tuntutan hingga boleh menjejaskan kekuatan politik orang Melayu.

Sehubungan itu, orang Melayu diminta tidak tunduk kepada tuntutan keterlaluan tersebut sebalik bangkit bersatu bagi mempertahankan hak dan kepentingan mereka.

Ahli Parlimen Pasir Mas, Datuk Ibrahim Ali berkata, pemimpin bukan Melayu dalam hal ini perlu sedar yang sesebuah kerajaan itu boleh sahaja untuk tidak ‘melayan’ tuntutan mereka.

Katanya, jumlah kerusi terbanyak di Parlimen adalah milik Melayu dan ia cukup untuk membentuk sebuah kerajaan berasaskan wakil rakyat Melayu semata-mata di negara ini.

Katanya, justeru, dari segi politiknya kerajaan itu sepatutnya memenuhi apa sahaja yang menjadi kehendak Melayu kerana mereka adalah majoriti dan bukan asyik bertolak ansur dengan bukan Melayu.

‘‘Parti Melayu akan kuat bila Melayu dijaga. Jadi UMNO kena fokus orang Melayu. Jadi UMNO tak perlu takut kerana saya lihat bila UMNO itu kuat orang bukan Melayu automatik akan sokong juga Barisan Nasional (BN) macam dulu,’’ katanya kepada Utusan Malaysia di sini hari ini.

Beliau mengulas pandangan mengenai situasi politik semasa yang menyaksikan kedudukan politik Melayu seakan terancam dengan tuntutan bukan Melayu pada masa kini.

Ahli Parlimen Sri Gading, Datuk Mohamad Aziz berkata, parti pemerintah ketika ini tidak boleh merasa bimbang untuk membuat apa sahaja keputusan yang dilihat perlu untuk membantu orang Melayu.

“UMNO kalau kita tengok Fasal 3 perlembagaannya ialah memperjuangkan hak Melayu.

“Pada masa sama orang Melayu pun kenalah sedar, asyik bercakaran sesama sendiri, tak untung Melayu sedangkan kita main politik untuk apa kalau tidak untuk membela Melayu.

“Jadi UMNO dan Pas kena duduk, tak kan dalam berbeza tak ada persamaan. Atas persamaan ini kita duduklah semeja dulu,” jelasnya.

Pemimpin UMNO, Datuk Seri Dr. Rais Yatim menegaskan, dalam soal wakil Kabinet misalnya, semua pihak harus menerima pilihan Perdana Menteri kerana ia bidang kuasa beliau.

“Saya fikir kalau dilayan, Najib tak akan ada kerja lain.

“Apa pun ini akan mengajar UMNO supaya terus kuat. Bila kuat, orang segan, kalau lemah orang kucar kacirkan,” ujarnya yang juga Ketua UMNO Bahagian Jelebu.

Ketua Pembangkang Dewan Undangan Negeri Selangor, Datuk Seri Dr. Mohamad Khir Toyo berkata, hak orang Melayu tidak harus dilepaskan dalam usaha kerajaan memenuhi kehendak masyarakat pelbagai kaum.

“Biar wujud situasi menang-menang. Kita tidak boleh biar sebelah pihak sahaja menang. Kalau kita nak penuhi apa yang mereka nak, jangan pula kita lepaskan apa yang jadi hak kita,’’ katanya.

Timbalan Presiden Gabungan Pelajar Melayu Semenanjung (GPMS), Syed Anuar Syed Mohamad berkata, walaupun kerajaan mahu menekankan konsep Satu Malaysia yang menyatukan rakyat pelbagai kaum, langkah juga perlu dilakukan bagi mengembalikan keharmonian di kalangan orang Melayu sendiri.

“Dalam keadaan sekarang ini, orang Melayu berhadapan banyak cabaran semasa dan kita perlu mencari cara untuk memastikan kaum itu tidak berpecah-belah,” katanya.

Katanya, UMNO dan Pas tidak boleh melengah-lengahkan masa lagi untuk bekerjasama dalam memajukan orang Melayu.

Ketua Umum Badan Bertindak Perpaduan Melayu (BBPM), Osman Abu Bakar yang sependapat dengan GPMS berkata, cadangan yang baik seperti itu perlu dilaksanakan secepat mungkin.

Katanya, kerjasama antara dua parti politik itu bukan sahaja akan memberi faedah kepada orang Melayu sahaja tetapi juga kaum lain.

Tambahnya, penyatuan UMNO dan Pas perlu menjadi batu loncatan untuk mengeratkan semua rakyat berbilang kaum di negara ini.

“Sememangnya usaha ke arah itu akan mengambil masa tetapi sekurang-kurangnya kita tidak hanya bercakap atau mencadangkan sahaja,’’ tambahnya.

At first, the Batang Ai by-election was seen as a barometer to test the strength of the ruling BN coalition versus it’s rival PR, after the last GE where PR shook the world by taking over 5 states from the ruling coalition.   However, things took a turn with a sudden announcement by a would-be independent candidate, Johnny Anak Chuat to contest in this by-election.   It was said earlier that, both parties have a 50/50 chances of winning.

Batang Ai has been the traditional stronghold of BN, since the PDBS era, where the older folks are still the keen supporters of BN.   The acceptance of locals towards PR is somewhat doubtful, for one reason that it is a West Malaysian based political party, furthermore their performance in Perak and Selangor was not up to expectations.   The younger generations which are more exposed to globalization processes are their most likely voters.   Then there are voters who are neither on the BN or PR side, those who are sitting on the fence, for reason known to themselves.   These are the groups that the independent candidate should take advantage.

Talking about BN candidate, Malcolm Mussen, they seem to play safe by fielding new face which has very limited political backgrounds and fresh records.   What is his chance of winning against political veteran like Jawah Gerang?   There is not so much on the candidate’s aura, but their gamble is on their “dacing’s” logo plus some “kopi o” from the “generous” government to the opportunists, a little bit of dirty trick and some magic performed by “reliable government crews”.

On PKR side, the PR is banking on the popularity and seniority of Jawah Gerang.   I would dare say that, PR decision’s on their choice of candidates seems doubtful and inaccurate.    Even though he was the MP for Lubok Antu for the previous five terms, that doesn’t guarantees the people’s support.   What has he done during his previous terms as MP?   The people are not blind.

Talking about independent candidate, Johnny Anak Chuat, most sees it as an alternative to the present sickening political scenarios, where changes are what people want.   Based on the report in some popular medias, as a local boy from Lamanak, he has all the supports from younger generations who are mostly his relatives.    Another x-factor which maybe of advantage for Johnny is that, he has been doing countless number of charity works and community projects for his kampungs folks during the last few years, which could convince the people of his ability to serve.

In conclusion, I would say that, with the presence of Johnny in this race, the chances of BN winning this game is much better, whereas the PR prospective looks somewhat gloom.    However, we must not underestimate Johnny’s ability and strength, given all the favourable factors in favour of him.   Whatever it is, it all depends on the last minute campaigning and efforts that each and every candidates are making.

Wake up late today, since today is Sunday.    After taking bath, prepare breakfast, milk and noodles.    Like normally, turn on my laptop to go online and check emails, moderate one or two sites.

But, I feel so disappointed.   I can’t even post anything on any forums, least doing the moderation, what the heck.   At first I thought it is due to line problems, but when I checked my connection speed, it’s about 7.2 Mbps, which seems to be normal.    Then I tried to log-in into my hosted site, hell, it said I was brute forcing into the site, need to wait for another 10 minutes to re-try.   This is my 1st try when I was not logging-in after quite some time.   Obviously, someone, probably hackers did try to brute force into my account.  Bloody shit, there’s nothing in there, nothing precious.  Well, if they want, I can just relinquish my account and my site to them, sort of donating to them.

Well, this is cyber world, what more can I say!!!

This is the photograph of the road at Sg Plan resettlement area. This hole grows bigger and bigger each day. It seems that none of the authority concerned care about it. It is very inconvenient and dangerous to motorists.

Why is the BDA not doing anything about it? We pay road tax, thus deserve better roads to travel. To BDA, please do something.

To me, these media are nothing more than the tools for the BN to brainwash the rakyat. They are being used to spread gimmicks and propagandas so as to stay in power, while oppressing the rakyat.

In fact there are better usages such as to inform the rakyat on educational opportunities and the availability of government jobs to the unemployed. They should reduce craps that they put into the media and be more responsible towards the rakyat.

I would like to suggest one day in a year to boycott these mainstream media, that is:

1. DO NOT WATCH TV FOR ONE DAY,
2. DO NOT LISTEN TO RADIO FOR ONE DAY,
3. DO NOT BUY NEWSPAPER FOR ONE DAY.

Or better for one week or one month? I’m sure we would not be bored, because we have the internet.

Any feedbacks?
