We are ‘kings’ of our country…

We are ‘kings’ of our country….

When the dissolution of parliament was announced, I felt a sense of lightness and serenity that I remembered only once other on the morning of GE14 aftermath. I walked as if the aches and pains of old age were no longer there and the future seemed painted with wisps of white clouds with a slight hint of sun rays of the early dawn.

I will recount five reasons why I think that this particular ‘forced dissolution’ is a sign from heaven that we, the Malaysian people, may actually have another chance at reclaiming our beloved homeland from the corrupt, religious zealots and civil servants that have forgotten that it is WE who are their masters, not the PM or the KSN (Ketua Setiausaha Negara). WE the Rakyat.

Firstly, I am most happy to finally see the end of the ‘disgusting’ career of the worst of the worst speakers of parliament I have ever witnessed. Such arrogance, such incompetence and such vulgarity of spirit that cannot be counted by any religious faith or human decency.

He was appointed by Muhyiddin and since PPBM will be dead when PAS abandons them for its original ‘husband’ Umno, whichever government wins it will not be PN and Muhyiddin will not be able to extend the career of that man, the worst speaker in Malaysia’s last 40 years of my witness.

Secondly, we the rakyat can now refer to Muhyiddin as Saudara Mahiaddin and Azmin as Abang Azmin or Pak Cik Azmin and Zuraida as Mak Cik Zu or perhaps Nenek Zu. These are the people that have hurt Malaysians the most and the dissolution have made them ‘ordinary’ again and now coming to ask for us to vote them in. Good luck trying-lah.

PPBM who wielded vast powers after the Sheraton Move dwindled in strength with Ismail Sabri at the helm and now Bersatu jatuh merudum with the dissolution of parliament. It is a lesson to all parliamentarians, setinggi tinggi tupai melompat, akhirnya jatuh juga ke tanah.

Thirdly, know that this dissolution is the desperate move of one man and one man only, Zahid Hamidi. Zahid needs to win in an election and save his seat before the November verdict that may find him guilty. That way, he can still be ‘PM’ and go for a long appeal and federal court process if need be.

For a party to go to an election war with only one date to consider without any other option, that party will stand to lose big. Umno is of two factions. Now Zahid is back in power and the Ismail gang, I suspect, have already had their candidacy signed by Zahid as a bargaining chip for dissolution of parliament.

But like Khairy, these people may have to fight for a decent constituency, and that is not easy because it will be like being in a den of thieves. There is no trust or loyalty and the only currency recognized briefly is money.

Umno is at its weakest and declaring an election war with this disunity and the anger of the rakyat over the banjir is not the ideal scenario for them. So, what that Umno won handsomely the two state elections of Melaka and Johor, those were masterful calculations that no one would return in a Covid situation and the economics of travels were not advantageous.

But now the full wrath of Malaysians will fall on Umno and even when PAS ditches Bersatu and come on the BN bandwagon, many Malays may have been disillusioned by the massive corruption value and the callousness of flood relief effort. With the military corruption being showcased day by day, will the postal votes of the armed forces still be with Umno? I pray not.

Fourthly, Rafizi’s Ayuh Malaysia and his many strategic allegations of corruptions in the military is gaining momentum day by day, especially after several months of non-stop campaigning. Umno was still fighting with Ismail Sabri’s deflection of the issue of dissolution. The Ayuh Malaysia and the Reformasi cry of Lawan Tetap Lawan has resurfaced after a twenty-year legacy.

Fifthly, the social and print media have gone to war on corruption and the misdeeds of Umno since a year ago. Sinar Harian leads with their Rasuah Busters that recently saw an academic and a Sultan calling the Malay politicians as ‘hypocrites in Islam’…a very harsh term indeed.

YouTubers like Zaharin, Iswardy Morni and Reggie Jessie Rithaudeen have been banging to the Malay and Malaysian audience with relentless energy that I think these three deserve a civil society award of the highest kind.

With all these reasons, I feel a sense that great things can happen within the next thirty days if Malaysians can keep the momentum going and urge all and everyone to come out and vote against these people who have stolen our children’s future.- Prof Dr. Mohd Tajuddin Mohd Rasdi 

Pembangkang pula jangan ego 

& bercakaran sesama sendiri...

Umno/BN akan kalah teruk dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke-15 ini kalau parti-parti yang menentangnya berpakat untuk tidak pecahkan undi. Tetapi kalau parti-parti yang menentang Umno/BN bercakaran sesama sendiri kerana ego, kepentingan peribadi, mabuk kuasa dan dendam kesumat ketua-ketua mereka, Umno/BN akan menang walaupun mendapat undi yang sedikit. Hatta dengan peratusan undi yang lebih kecil daripada PRU ke-14 pun, Umno/BN masih ada harapan menang!

Tetapi kalau ketua-ketua parti yang menentang Umno/BN mengurangkan sedikit keakuan mereka demi negara dan rakyat jelata, Umno/BN akan hanyut.Dalam PRU 2018, BN kalah terus. Kemarahan pengundi terhadap rasuah besar-besaran kerajaan Umno/BN di bawah pimpinan  Najib Razak dan kesepakatan Pembangkang menghanyutkan Umno/BN. 

 

Kesimpulannya, kalau Pembangkang terus berpecah-belah kerana ego dan dendam, Umno/BN akan kembali berkuasa. Dan seperti yang dihajatkan Presiden Unmo, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi mudahlah membebaskan Mohd Najib Abdul Razak dari penjara dan memberhentikan perbicaraan kluster mahkamah. Itulah pun tujuan Umno mendesak dan menekan agar PRU 15 diadakan secepat mungkin. - A.Kadir Jasin 

The trap is sprung...

Why did the PM Ismail Sabri suddenly agree to Zahid Hamidi's  pressure to dissolve Parliament? Just about two months back, when Najib was not yet put into jail, Ismail Sabri was simply ignoring both Najib and Zahid Hamidi's non stop pressure that Parliament should be dissolved. Ismail Sabri did not even bother to attend those UMNO meetings called by Zahid.

Now Najib is already in jail. Its only Zahid Hamidi left and Zahid is not even a Cabinet Minister. Granted he is party president of Umno but he was also president two months ago. So why did Ismail Sabri suddenly agree  to Zahid's request that Parliament be dissolved?

This dissolution of Parliament is not acceptable to a large majority of people including Malays who are traditional supporters of Umno and BN. This dissolution only makes them more disappointed with UMNO and the BN. Umno will lose even more votes.

The idea behind having a General Election during the north-east monsoon flood season is very simple. It is to discourage the voters from going out to vote. If the polling stations are under water, it is even better for those politicians who feel that this time around they stand a better chance of winning if the turnout is as low as possible.

They are seriously mistaken. Even if Gunung Krakatoa explodes and a flood of Noah's Ark proportions befalls the country, the voters will still go out to vote. I certainly will be voting. I have raincoats and umbrellas.

After 63 years the Malaysian voters kicked out UMNO / BN in 2018. Unfortunately UMNO/BN have managed to wriggle back into power. So come hell or high water the voters will come out again in GE15 and slam that wooden stake right through the heart to permanently kill the beast.  This time we seriously have to finish them off.

My view is this is a trap into which Umno has fallen. So who set the trap? The usual suspects are those two senior gentlemen.  This dissolution does not help Umno. I have not yet heard any person who agrees with this 'Undi Banjir'. They are all waiting to go out and vote against Umno. Just wait and see. - Syed Akbar Ali
