Khalid: Another perspective
I posted an article on Tan Sri Khalid last week. Mr Integrity I called
him. And the comments posted by our friends reaffirmed this. But I have also
received e-mails that asked me to look at another aspect of how things are in
Selangor.
Pak, they tell me, you must understand that Tan Sri is not helping
ANYONE! The developers cannot develop their own land. No new business ventures
are taking place. Old contracts between State Agencies and UMNO cronies that
did not perform were terminated. And yet, our offers to replace these
terminated contractors are not considered. Not even when we are financially and
technically able to take over from the terminated
contractors!
Others say: Pak I have been with PKR from the start. After many years of
struggling with PKR we have Selangor. And we now want economic change and we
want business opportunities for ourselves in Selangor. Not negotiated tenders,
not inflated tender prices, not handouts from the State Government – just real
business opportunities. So that we can have the financial resources to
continue our battle at par with those who are in UMNO.
Did I know that TS Khalid had already faced a vote of 'no confidence'
from his own bahagian/ cabang? That there was a huge banner placed in his own
constituency conveying these feelings amongst PKR Selangor to TS Khalid? He
might think he is popular but he may be the cause of PR losing Selangor come
the next General Election! So they tell me ....
As I read, I understood what it is that they are telling me: Selangor is
the most economically developed State in Malaysia. There is no doubt that Tan
Sri has been running a tight ship. The free water for its people was the result
of an effective cost-cutting measure that he has implemented. There was
open government and accountability within the state government. But while the
affairs of state are moving along, the affairs of PKR in Selangor need to be
addressed by Tan Sri.
Tan Sri, you yourself have had your problems with UMNO over the purchase
of Guthrie shares when you were no longer their preferred buyer. Can I
respectfully suggest to you, Sir, that you should be able to understand the
need to look after PKR’s own – not at the expense of the Selangor people, but
to give these PKR stalwarts, if not a step up in their business ventures, then equal
opportunity with all in Selangor.
If being PKR stalwarts preclude them from participating in business
opportunities within Selangor – then for sure there would be rumblings within
PKR’s ranks about this 'discrimination'! It puts PKR faithfuls at a
disadvantage in Selangor. And if this were so, would it not be ironic? Because
we will have a PKR government that does not care about PKR!
UNNO cares for UMNO. Methinks sometimes UMNO cares much too much for
UMNO. TS Khalid, you need to look at this now before it becomes a
problem.
You are a politician, Tan Sri . You chose to be one. Do what you must to
ensure that PKR Selangor can withstand the mighty onslaught that will surely
come from UMNO as they try to take Selangor back from PKR. And they will.
In politics, Sir, you know as well as I do, that more is needed if you
are defenceless and facing an enemy many times your strength with many times
your resources. You know this as much as I do. I am simply putting it into
words so that you can look at what I write and ponder what is to be done, and
what your PKR followers will expect you to do - as their leader in
the state.
Article: TS Khalid - another perspective?
Ts Khalid - Perspektif sebenar?
Saya menulis berkenaan TS Khalid tempoh hari di blog saya. Saya
memanggil nya 'Mr Integrity'.
Ulasan/komen dari sahabat kita mengesahkan pendapat saya.
Walaubagaimanapun saya turut menerima emails yang meminta saya
melihat perkara2 yang berlaku di Selagor dari sudut lain.
Mereka mengatakan - Anda kena faham. TS KhaliD tidak
menolong/membantu sesiapa!
Pemaju tidak dapat memajukan hartanah. Tiada urus niaga baru.
Kontrak terdahulu antara Agensi Berkuasa Negeri & UMNO yang tidak
berkesan di tamatkan. Tetapi tawaran/cadangan menggantikan Kontraktor yang di
tamatkan dengan yang baru tidak mendapat pertimbangan. Walaupun Kontraktor
pengganti mampu dari segi teknikal & kewangan untuk mengambil alih Kontrak
itu.
Pak, saya telah bersama PKR sejak mula. Selepas beberapa tahun
berjuang bersama PKR, kita menawan Selangor dan kami mahu perubahan ekonomi,
peluang niaga untuk kami di Selangor. Kami tidak menagih/meminta tender secara
runding terus, tender harga tidak munasabah,
bukan pengagihan/kunia/pemberian dari Kerajaan Negeri - cuma bagi
peluang niaga sebenar supaya kami peroleh/mendapat punca kewangan setanding
dengann UMNO bagi meneruskan perjuangan yang belum selesai.
Adakah anda tahu bahawa TS Khalid telah menghadapi undi tidak percaya
di Bahaguan nya? Terdapat kain rentang yang besar di Bahagian nya menyuarakan
rasa tidak puas hati penyokong/ahli PKR Selangor dengan TS Khalid?
Mungkin TS Khalid perasan dia masyhur tetapi beliau mungkin
menyebabkan Selangor terlepas/tewas di PRU 13.
Mereka mengadu/memberitahu saya....
Setelah di teliti saya faham rungutan mereka.
Selangor ada lah negeri termaju di Malaysia. Tidak dapat di nafikan
TS Khakid menguruskan perbelanjaan yang ketat/berhemah.
Air percuma untuk Rakyat adalah hasil dari penjimatan perbelanjaan
yang di ambil.
Keterbukaan & ketelusan menjadi amalan Kerajaan Negeri.
TS Khalid perlulah mengurus PKR Selangor selari dengan mengurus
Negeri Selangor. TS sendiri bermasaalah dengan UMNO mengenai isu pembelian
saham Guthrie apabila TS bukan lagi di utamakan.
Izinkan saya mencadangkan YAB supaya memahani perlunya memenuhi
keperluan PKR - tidak dengan membelakangi Rakyat Selangor, tetapi memberi
peluang samarata kepada penyokong kuat PKR untuk berniaga di Selangor.
Sekira menjadi penyokong kuat PKR membuat mereka terpinggir – maka
timbullah sungutan/rasa tidak puas hati di kalangan PKR terhadap diskriminasi
ini.
Ia melemahkan penyokong PKR di Selangor. Sekiranya benar, tidak kah
pelik kerana kita mempunyai kerajaan PKR yang tidak peduli akan PKR?
UMNO peduli akan UMNO. Pada hemat saya UMNO teramat peduli akan UMNO.
TS Khalid, anda perlu menangani isu ini sebelum terlambat. Anda
adalah seorang ahli politik. Itu pilihan anda. Lakukan yang perlu untuk
memastikan PKR Selangor mampu menghadapi serangan hebat dari UMNO yang akan
cuba menawan/merampas semula Selangor dari PKR.
Dalam politik, sebagaimana YAB dan saya maklum, persiapan yang
rapi diperlukan bagi membetulkan/mengatasi kelemahan dan mempersiapkan
diri bagi menghadapi musuh yang lebih hebat berbanding kekuatan/kemampuan YAB
yang sedikit/terbatas.
YAB tentu lebih arif dari saya bahawa apa yang saya
sarankan perlu di lakukan dan itulah yang penyokong PKR tagih/harapkan
dari YAB, pemimpin mereka di Selangor.
