Sabah PKR, pre-empting any likely ‘hijacking’ by Kuala Lumpur, hurriedly announced its seven candidates for the state’s west coast region.
Tuaran PKR Chief, Ansari Abdullah said Sabah PKR had “taken the liberty” of making the announcement based on an earlier promise by Pakatan Rakyat leaders, including Anwar Ibrahim, of giving “autonomy” for the state coalition’s decisions.
He said the candidates were himself for Tuaran constituency and surgeon-activist-author Dr Chong Eng Leong for Sepanggar.
Others were Mazhry Nasir (Putatan), Anthony Mandiau (Kota Marudu), Mursalim Tanjul (Kudat), Saidil Semoi (Kota Belud) and Johanathan Yassin (Ranau).
When unveiling the list late yesterday in Sabah PKR headquarters in Penampang, Ansari said: “We have taken the liberty to release the names of the seven candidates that have been picked by the respective divisions.
“This is a test of whether the party leadership is sincere in its promise to give us autonomy. We are very confident that the party will pass this test.
“We are very confident that Anwar and the party leaderships of PAS and DAP will honour their commitment that matters involving Sabah will be decided by Sabahans.
Also present were the seven ‘proposed’ candidates and other PKR divisional chiefs.
According to Ansari, the candidates had been identified as far back as two years ago, and their backgrounds had been “thoroughly vetted.”
He added that the candidates’ respective divisions had also endorsed them.
Widespread resentment
On possible disputes arising with Pakatan partners PAS and DAP over the candidates, Ansari said the seven divisions had taken a common stand and passed a resolution that “other Pakatan components and allies” should not contest in any of these seven constituencies.
The consensus is seen as a direct response to seat demands by Pakatan’s new local allies Wilfred Bumburing’s APS Sabah and Lajim Ukin’s PPS. Both Bumburing and Lajim are former Barisan Nasional MPs who defected in July last year in support for Anwar.
Anwar’s partiality towards them has triggered widespread resentment with the state’s original party members. Party members look at both Bumburing and Lajim with distrust and believe that they are the reasons why Pakatan has dismissed other local players.
Said Ansari: “Wilfred said during the launch of APS, the purpose was not to fight for candidacy but to help the Pakatan. He also said APS will not take away PKR members…
“Wilfred is my friend, he is an honourable man and I am sure he is a man of his words,” said Ansari.
He said as far as PAS and DAP were concerned, it was a crystal clear situation.
“PAS did not contest any of these seven constituencies as such they have no right to contest.
“DAP obtained lesser votes in Sepangar and Putatan; they even lost to PKR candidates.
“Neither did they contest in any of the other five constituencies, so DAP should not also lodge any claim on these seven constituencies in the West Coast North Zone.
“Therefore, all the seats should go to PKR. This is our stand,” he said adding that he was convinced that the Pakatan leadership was sincere and committed to their promise and collective pledge to honour political autonomy in Sabah.
Meanwhile, PKR Deputy President Azmin Ali today dismissed a Sabah PKR leader’s decision to announce the party’s candidates for the state’s west coast region, stating that the names were “mere suggestions”.
“They are merely suggestions. All decisions will be made by our political bureau meetings,” he said at a press conference at the party headquarters here today.
FMT earlier today reported that Tuaran PKR chief Ansari Abdullah had pre-empted the party’s top leadership by announcing seven candidates for the state’s west coast region.
He said that the announcement was made in line with PKR supremo Anwar Ibrahim’s decision to give autonomy to the East Malaysian state.
Ansari announced that he would stand for the Tuaran constituency and Dr Chong Eng Leong for Sepanggar.
When unveiling the list late yesterday in Sabah PKR headquarters in Penampang, Ansari said: “We have taken the liberty to release the names of the seven candidates that have been picked by the respective divisions.
“This is a test of whether the party leadership is sincere in its promise to give us autonomy. We are very confident that the party will pass this test,” he added.
Azmin’s dismissal of the list today highlighted the growing discontent between the party’s national leadership and the Sabah leaders.
Pakatan’s council meeting
Azmin, who is also Gombak MP, said that the Pakatan Rakyat presidential council would be having a meeting later today to discuss its candidates’ list.
“We will discuss issues concerning overlapping seats. Hopefully, we can sort out the matter by the end of the week,” he said.
When asked if Johor PKR chief Chua Jui Meng would be contesting in the general election, Azmin said: “We appreciate what he had done for the party. We have made several offers to him and I’m confident we can resolve the matter.”
Azmin’s reply seemed to contradict Chua’s earlier statement when he said that he has yet to be offered any seats to date.
Azmin also dismissed a tweet by Yusmadi Yusoff who claimed that the latter was not shortlisted to contest for the Balik Pulau parliamentary seat.
“That’s his view. The party will decide on him and all PKR members contesting in Penang by this evening.
“Anwar will announce which seat he will contest at the same time,” said Azmin.
Code of conduct for Selangor
On another matter, Azmin said that the Selangor state government had issued a circular on Feb 19 to all state departments and state-linked and government linked companies on a code of conduct for a caretaker government.
Among others, Azmin said that Selangor would no longer hold its executive council meetings and its political leaders are barred from using the state office and machinery for political purposes.
“The state government had informed the state civil service to only implement policies that were introduced prior to the dissolution [of the state assembly].
“We also urged state public servants to remain neutral and professional at all times,” he said.
Azmin urged Barisan Nasional leaders to also follow Selangor’s lead on the matter and use state vehicles solely for official reasons.

SABAH PKR BEATS ANWAR & AZMIN?
About sabahdaily
Pakatan Rakyat has finalized seats negotiations in 10 states, leaving only Johor, Sarawak and Sabah still to be sorted out, said PKR deputy president Azmin Ali.
ReplyDeleteAzmin, the Gombak MP, had been huddled in a closed-door meeting with PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali and DAP elections director Tan Kok Wai for most of Friday afternoon.
ReplyDelete"Today, our focus was on three states - Johor, Sabah and Sarawak. And we have agreed to have another round involving the top leadership of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, YB Kit Siang and the PAS president (Hadi Awang) on Monday," Azmin told reporters who crowded round him as left the meeting at around 6pm.
ReplyDelete"These are the 3 states where we still have some overlapping seats. All the other states have been concluded, the entire seats allocation whether at parliamentary or state level. There may be some adjustments but we are not demanding Gelang Patah (Johor). That is over and we want to move forward."
ReplyDeleteNot demanding Gelang Patah but we want Jui Meng to lead the PKR charge in Johor
ReplyDeleteManifesto Barisan Nasional (BN) bukan hanya sekadar manifesto, tetapi satu dokumen 'akujanji' kepada rakyat, kata Pengerusi BN Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
ReplyDelete"Saya tidak mahu kata manifesto kerana pembangkang kata manifesto bukan janji, sebab itu nama manifesto tidak berapa sesuai.
ReplyDelete"Saya nak kata bukan manifesto tetapi akujanji kepada rakyat Malaysia," kata Perdana Menteri ketika berucap pada perhimpunan janji 1Malaysia "Rakyat Didahulukan" sempena pelancaran manifesto BN bagi Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13 (PRU13) di Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil di sini malam ini.
ReplyDeleteNajib berkata, oleh kerana manifesto atau akujanji adalah dokumen yang penting, ia perlu dilancarkan dalam perhimpunan dan disiarkan secara langsung supaya rakyat seluruh negara boleh menghayati isi kandungan manifesto itu.
ReplyDelete"Mereka boleh meneliti apakah komitmen BN kepada rakyat," katanya.
ReplyDeleteTalk of PKR president Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail contesting in Selangor and becoming its next Mentri Besar is a sign of uncertainty within the Opposition, said Selangor Barisan Nasional coordinator Datuk Seri Mohd Zin Mohamed.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete“They (Pakatan) seem uncertain even as the polls loom. It is an indication that they are not as united as they want the people to believe,” he said.
He added that the Opposition was flip-flopping as to who would helm the state if they won.
ReplyDelete“Initially, there was talk of PKR deputy president Azmin Ali replacing Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim as the Mentri Besar.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete“Now it is Khalid who is saying that Dr Wan Azizah is eligible to take over his position,” he said.
ReplyDeleteHe cited the indecisiveness with regard to seat allocation in Kedah, Johor and Perak as examples of the deep structural problems within Pakatan, which has led to a rift between PKR, DAP and PAS.
“See what has happened to PKR's former Johor chief Datuk Chua Jui Meng. He has gone missing after being left out of the list in favour of Lim Kit Siang contesting Gelang Patah,” he said.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteEven Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, he added, had indicated the possibility of leaving the Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat for one in Selangor or Perak.
ReplyDelete“They (Opposition) promised a united pact. However, PKR, DAP and PAS are now speaking for themselves and not as Pakatan,” he added.
On Thursday, Dr Wan Azizah, who is unable to contest for a Parliamentary seat after vacating her Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat on July 31, 2008, for husband Anwar to contest, said she was eligible to contest a state seat.
ReplyDeleteANWAR PENGKHIANAT RAKYAT SABAH WAJAR "DIHUKUM" DALAM PILIHANRAYA UMUM KALI INI
ReplyDeletePada mulanya tidak ramai yang memberikan perhatian kepada lagu 'TANYA SAMA NAJIB' yang didendangkan oleh Anwar Ibrahim dalam setiap lawatan dan ceramahnya di serata pelusuk negara terutama sekali Sabah. Malah tidak ramai yang menghiraukan kegilaannya yang berulang-ulang kali menyebut tentang LAHAD DATU dan SEMPORNA yang menjadi kubu kuat UMNO.
ANWAR PENGKHIANAT RAKYAT SABAH WAJAR "DIHUKUM" DALAM PILIHANRAYA UMUM KALI INI
ReplyDeleteNamun serangan lanun-lanun Sulu yang kemudian telah membunuh 10 orang anggota keselamatan Malaysia, akhirnya menjawab persoalan tentang lagu berkenaan. Apatah lagi dengan galaknya agensi-agensi serta portal-portal berita asing memperincikan tentang kerjasama yang diberikan oleh Anwar Ibrahim kepada Nur Misuari dan Jamalul Kiram III untuk menyerang Sabah.
ANWAR PENGKHIANAT RAKYAT SABAH WAJAR "DIHUKUM" DALAM PILIHANRAYA UMUM KALI INI
ReplyDeleteDan ianya tidak setakat itu sahaja, beberapa bulan sebelum serangan dilaksanakan, beberapa orang pemimpin PKR seperti Tian Chua dan Sivarasa Rasaiah telah ke Manila untuk bertemu dengan Nur Misuari dan Jamalul Kiram III bagi melakukan perbincangan.
ANWAR PENGKHIANAT RAKYAT SABAH WAJAR "DIHUKUM" DALAM PILIHANRAYA UMUM KALI INI
ReplyDeleteLagu 'TANYA SAMA NAJIB' menjadi topik utama yang mengaitkan Anwar Ibrahim dengan serangan tersebut. Semua pihak mula mempersoalkan, mengapa 'HILANG' dan mengapa pula tidak 'BERPINDAH TANGAN'. Anwar Ibrahim sampai ke hari ini gagal menjawab persoalan tersebut. Sebaliknya setiap kali ditanya wartawan, dia akan segera melenting dan memberikan isyarat agar wartawan tidak meneruskan pertanyaan sepertimana dalam kes liwat III.
ANWAR PENGKHIANAT RAKYAT SABAH WAJAR "DIHUKUM" DALAM PILIHANRAYA UMUM KALI INI
ReplyDeleteItulah Anwar Ibrahim! Manusia yang hanya pandai membuat penafian sebelum melemparkan kesalahan tersebut kepada UMNO tetapi sentiasa gagal memberikan penjelasan yang diperlukan.
ANWAR PENGKHIANAT RAKYAT SABAH WAJAR "DIHUKUM" DALAM PILIHANRAYA UMUM KALI INI
ReplyDeleteDi sebalik realiti bahawa berita berkenaan dimulakan oleh portal serta agensi berita asing, Anwar Ibrahim memilih untuk menyaman TV3 dan Utusan Malaysia. Alasan yang diberikan oleh Anwar Ibrahim ialah, agensi serta portal berita asing itu tidak menyebut namanya, sedangkan TV3 dan Utusan Malaysia pula terang-terang menyebut namanya.
ANWAR PENGKHIANAT RAKYAT SABAH WAJAR "DIHUKUM" DALAM PILIHANRAYA UMUM KALI INI
ReplyDeleteDan apabila wartawan menyatakan perkara sebaliknya, Anwar menempelak dan merendah-rendahkan intelektual golongan wartawan apabila menyatakan mereka tidak faham dan tidak pandai berbahasa Inggeris. Dengan kata-kata lain, perkataan ANWAR IBRAHIM dalam setiap laporan portal dan agensi asing itu, mempunyai maksud yang lain, bukannya nama Ketua Umum PKR itu.
ANWAR PENGKHIANAT RAKYAT SABAH WAJAR "DIHUKUM" DALAM PILIHANRAYA UMUM KALI INI
ReplyDeleteKini, sekali lagi Anwar cuba melakukan sekatan agar rakyat tidak akan tahu apa sebenarnya yang berlaku. Anwar Ibrahim sedang menimbang untuk menyaman TV3 kerana menyiarkan klip video dendangannya, TANYA SAMA NAJIB di kaca televisyen, sekaligus menyedarkan rakyat bahawa Anwar Ibrahim sebenarnya sudah merancang untuk mengeluarkan Sabah dari Malaysia bagi membolehkan dia menjadi Perdana Menteri dan Pakatan Rakyat menguasai Putrajaya.
ANWAR PENGKHIANAT RAKYAT SABAH WAJAR "DIHUKUM" DALAM PILIHANRAYA UMUM KALI INI
ReplyDeleteIni adalah kerana Sabah merupakan kubu kuat Barisan Nasional yang amat sukar ditembusi oleh Anwar Ibrahim. Sebarang berita atau maklumat yang menunjukkan Anwar Ibrahim mengkhianati rakyat Sabah dan Malaysia secara keseluruhannya, akan memudarkan harapan Anwar Ibrahim untuk bergelar Perdana Menteri Malaysia buat kali terakhir.
ANWAR PENGKHIANAT RAKYAT SABAH WAJAR "DIHUKUM" DALAM PILIHANRAYA UMUM KALI INI
ReplyDeleteDisebabkan itulah, Anwar Ibrahim mengambil keputusan untuk menyaman TV3 agar berita-berita seperti itu dapat dihentikan dan dia bebas menipu rakyat Malaysia tanpa sebarang sekatan. Pendedahan-pendedahan yang dilakukan oleh TV3 seringkali dikatakan fitnah sedangkan kebanyakan kes yang dimenangi oleh Anwar Ibrahim pula, semuanya melibatkan teknikal bukannya fakta, sepertimana samannya terhadap Utusan Malaysia dan kemenangannya dalam kes liwat II.
ANWAR PENGKHIANAT RAKYAT SABAH WAJAR "DIHUKUM" DALAM PILIHANRAYA UMUM KALI INI
ReplyDeleteTANYA SAMA NAJIB sudah bertukar menjadi igauan ngeri kepada Anwar Ibrahim. Para pecacainya sendiri pun pduk pakat tepuk dahi dan kalu boleh nak pekakkan telinga masing-masing kerana mereka juga seperti Anwar, tidak mempunyai sebarang penjelasan yang boleh diberikan berhubung lagu yang telah dipopularkan oleh ABANG NON kaki buntut itu!!!
BN Tetap Pilihan Di Hati Pengundi Pada PRU-13
ReplyDeleteKajian Pusat Kajian Demokrasi dan Pilihan Raya Universiti Malaya (UMCEDEL) menjurus kepada pola pengundian yang menunjukkan Barisan Nasional akan terus diyakini rakyat untuk memenangi Pilihan Raya Umum ke 13 yang bakal diumumkan pada bila-bila masa sahaja.
Statistik kaji selidik UMCEDEL menunjukkan BN mendahului Pakatan Rakyat dengan lima mata peratusan.
BN memperolehi 42 peratus berbanding 37 peratus yang memberikan keyakinan kepada PR berdasarkan kepada soal selidik ke atas saiz sampel 1,409 pengundi.
ReplyDeleteMalah pemimpin BN berpendapat bukan sahaja parti pemerintah akan menang besar tetapi juga akan berjaya merangkul kembali majoriti dua pertiga di Dewan Rakyat.
Keyakinan ini bukanlah cakap-cakap kosong kedai kopi tetapi berlandaskan kepada fakta dan realiti di peringkat akar umbi pengundi.
Sikap keterbukaan dan pendekatan inovatif pentadbiran Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Naji Tun Razak merupakan dua faktor amat penting yang menyumbang kepada keyakinan rakyat kepada BN.
ReplyDeleteWalaupun pihak pembangkang saban hari membangkitkan pelbagai isu yang didakwa bersabit dengan rasuah dan penyelewengan tetapi rakyat terutamanya pengundi bijak memilih di antara kaca dan permata.
Apa yang mereka sekarang lihat dan nikmati adalah hasil pro-aktif kepemimpinan cemerlang yang ditunjukkan oleh Perdana Menteri dalam memperjuang serta menjaga kebajikan rakyat.
ReplyDeleteDaripada perbelanjaan isu rumah, pendidikan, kebajikan pelajar, warga emas, pemandu teksi, golongan karyawan, agamawan dan nelayan hinggalah kepada golongan peniaga serta usahawan, semuanya kini sedang menikmati hasil bermacam-macam program yang dilancarkan oleh Datuk Seri Najib.
Boleh dikatakan tidak ada lapisan masyarakat atau golongan rakyat yang disisahkan daripada menerima bantuan dalam pelbagai bentuk dan rupa.
ReplyDeleteProgram BR1M 1.0 dan 2.0 yang dituduh pembangkang yang kekeringan isu sebagai rasuah politik menerima respons yang sungguh menakjubkan.
Begitu juga lain-lain program KR1M, Klinik 1 Malaysia, TR1M, KD1M yang terbit daripada dua program transformasi kerajaan – Program Transformasi Pentadbiran dan Program Transformasi Ekonomi.
ReplyDeleteMentadbir sebuah negara majmuk seperti Malaysia dengan 1001 kerenah daripada setiap kaum yang berlatar belakangkan etnik, agama, bahasa, budaya serta pandangan dunia yang berbeza bukanlah suatu yang mudah.
BN telah berjaya mengangkat serta menobatkan martabat negara dari semua susut pembangunan – ekonomi, politik dan sosial – daripada sebuah negara berasaskan pertanian kepada negara industri yang mennuju kepada status negara maju menjelang 2020.
ReplyDeleteSegala yang telah dicapai sehingga kini bakal hancur dan musnah jika negara berada di dalam tangan pembangkang.
Ini kerana asas politik pembangkang adalah kebencian dan perpecahan serta memporak perandakan negara demi untuk memperolehi kuasa politik.
ReplyDeletePembangkang tidak peduli tentang aspek keselamatan negara mahupun kedaulatannya kerana apa yang penting bagi mereka ialah merampas Putrajaya dengan menimbulkan kekacauan dan huru hara.
Ini terbukti dengan siri demonstrasi dan tunjuk perasaan yang sering diadakan sejak PRU 2008 kononnya untuk memperjuangkan hak rakyat.
ReplyDeleteSebenarnya bukan rakyat yang menjadi fokus gerakan pembangkang.
Rakyat hanya dimobilisasikan sebagai satu gerakan massa bagi kepentingan politik pemimpin-pemimpin pembangkang dalam Pakatan Rakyat yang masing-masing mempunyai halatuju dan ideologi yang berbeza.
Walaupun kajian UMCEDEL menunjukkan sejumlah 78 peratus daripada saiz sampel pengundi dalam soal selidik yang dijalankan mengatakan, integriti dan salahguna kuasa pemimpin BN memberi kesan kepada sokongan pengundi dalam pilihan raya umum, namun ini ada hanyalah masalah persepsi yang telah dicorakkan dalam pemikiran rakyat oleh pembangkang.
ReplyDeleteAkhirnya rakyat akan menunjukkan kematangan di peti undi bila mana mereka mampu membandingkan dengan fikiran dan hati yang terbuka kehidupan yang telah mereka nikmati sepanjang pemerintahan BN.
Mereka juga akan membandingkan janji-janji kosong pembangkang yang tidak mampu dilaksanakan serta lebih indah khabar dari rupa.
ReplyDeleteHasil kaji selidik Universiti Malaya itu yang menunjukkan 53 peratus masyarakat Cina masih “tidak pasti” untuk memilih parti mana pada PRU 13 juga seharusnya tidak perlu dibimbangi.
Pengundi Cina melihat politik sebagai satu bentuk perniagaan yang mengutamakan aspek keuntungan lebih daripada unsur yang lain.
Walaupun mungkin wujud beberapa isu yang menjadi kebimbangan kepada mereka, pengundi Cina perniagaan akan bertindak seperti peniaga yang akan memastikan kerajaan yang mereka pilih mampu memberi suasana perniagaan yang stabil, kompetitif dan aman daripada segala halangan yang membantutkan ekonomi mereka.
ReplyDeletePembangkang mungkin boleh bermulut manis menabur segala macam janji termasuk ada yang tidak masuk akal sama sekali tetapi rakyat akan tetap memilih BN yang rasional, komited, berwawasan serta sentiasa menepati janjinya.- BERUANG BIRU
Walter dan kawan-kawan di atas jangan menagong-agong UMNO BN, kita belum lagi terasa resipi PR cuba dulu dalam 5 tahun, itu hanya sekejap saja.
ReplyDeleteSabah PKR chairman, Ahmad Thamrin Jaini, yesterday issued a statement to inform all parties concerned on the current status of seats negotiation among Pakatan Rakyat parties both at the state and central level.

ReplyDeleteThere is a saying where one should not trust the word of a politician. Voters must vote based on candidate performance.
ReplyDeleteAnd also the promises that were given by them. We must ask ourselves whether the candidate is capable of fulfilling the promises and are those promises given are realistic and achievable.
