Ketua Wanita Umno, Shahrizat Abdul Jalil marah sangat pada tokoh veteran Umno-Baru, iaitu bekas Menteri Kewangan, Daim Zainuddin, bekas Menteri Perdangangan Antarabangsa dan Industri, Rafidah Aziz dan bekas Menteri Penerangan, Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan, Rais Yatim.

Shahrizat gelarkan mereka ni, “pemimpin pencen” sebab mereka mengkritik kerajaan, seperti isu 1MDB.

Dia kata, “Buruk sangatkah kerajaan hari ini? Ada yang mati kebuluran?”

Mariam Mokhtar : Janji kosong dan katak-katak ternakan Najib

Jangan lupa katak katak ternakan Najib pada tahun 2009.

Krisis kerajaan buatan katak katak Najib.

Nombor kegemaran Najib Abdul Razak adalah sebelas.

Itu tidak betul. Nombor kegemarannya ialah lima.

Setiap lima tahun, dia membuat janji. Janji kosong.

Selain dari janji kosong, Najib suka menternak katak. Wahai orang Perak, jangan lupa katak katak Najib pada tahun 2009.

JANJI YANG DI ULANGI SETIAP PRU

Kelmarin, Najib janji nak bina sebuah lapangan terbang baru, di Perak, di Seri Iskandar, selepas GE-14.

Ini cerita lama. Sudah di janji, tiga pilihan raya yang lalu. Tiap tiap lima tahun, janji lapangan terbang baru, akan timbul.

Beliau kata, lapangan terbang baru ini, akan dibina dalam tempoh lima tahun.

Ahhh … Betapa mudahnya. Lima tahun. Cukup masa, untuk mengulang, janji yang sama, pada pilihan raya yang akan datang. (tapi takpe, kita akan tendang Umno-Baru/BN keluar)

Siapa nak bayar lapangan terbang baru ini?

Kroninya? Mereka dah kering – takde duit.

Najib tak boleh paksa duit dari rakyat… Beban kita teruk, akibat GST .

MOH KITA CERITA LAGI, TENTANG JANJI, UMNO-BARU.

Umno-Baru janji nak buat industri Aerospace Park, di Ipoh? Ini janji kosong

Pada tahun 2007, sebelum PRU-12, Umno-Baru nak jadikan Seri Iskandar, pusat Global Flying Hospital.  Janji kosong juga.

Pada 2013, Mentri Besar Perak nak jadikan negeri Perak sebagai negara maju – developed state? Ini dalam plan Perak Maju dan Perak Amanjaya 2015.

Saya tak sedar pun Perak jadi “developed state”. Zambry tak boleh nak kawal sampah di Ipoh dan kawasan luar bandar, macam mana nak jadikan Perak negeri maju?

Timbalan PM, Zahid Hamidi, cadangkan terowong bawah laut dari Bagan Datoh ke Indonesia. Kos terowong RM78 bilion. Mana kerajaan nak dapat duit? Hutang negara hampir satu Trillion ringgit.

Pada 7 April, Najib kata bahawa BN memenuhi 99.4 peratus janji-janjinya.

Dia sangat tepat. Sampai dia kata 99-point-4%. Tak pun nak “rounding-up”.

Saya fikir Najib silap kot. Dia patut cakap, BN gagal memenuhi 99.4 janji mereka.

Kita bosan janji kosong Najib. Dia patut letak jawatan. Jangan tunggu di pecat dalam PRU-14.

Kuasa, di tangan anda.

Keluar undi dalam PRU-14, dan Selamatkan Malaysia.

KJ! Belia perlu pendidikan tinggi, pekerjaan dan perumahan. Mereka tak mahu jadi peminta sedekah.

YB. Kita tak mahu jadi macam peminta sedekah. Kita tak mahu ramai anak semata mata untuk mengutip bantuan wang, yang lebih dari kerajaan. Lagipun,  wanita Malaysia  bukan nya mesin buat baby.

Oxford.  Salah satu universiti yang terbaik di dunia. Setiap ibu bapa mahu anak mereka masuk Oxford.

Ahli Parlimen Rembau, Khairy Jamaluddin seorang graduan Politik, Falsafah dan Ekonomi (PPE) dari Oxford.

Kelmarin, dia jumpa kaum belia. Pada pemuda yang ingin berumah tangga, dia kata mereka boleh dapat lebih bantuan wang, dari kerajaan, jika mereka mempunyai lebih ramai anak.

Adakah itu yang Khairy belajar di Oxford? Asik bergantung pada bantuan kerajaan? Seperti BRIM  dan program Amanah Dana Anak Malaysia 2050?

Oxford tak ajar berdikari kah?

Cubalah  pikir sikit.

Kalau nak banyak anak, dari mana, datang nya duit, nak tanggung keluarga?

Dari KJ kah?

Dari kerajaan? Tapi hutang kerajaan, hampir 1 trilion ringgit.

MANA NAK DAPAT DUIT NAK TANGGUNG KELUARGA YANG BESAR?

Kalau ramai anak, siapa nak bayar yuran tadika, sekolah rendah, sekolah menengah. Kos kasut. Tambang bas . Kos pengajian.

GST untuk pakaian, kasut dan makanan, akan meningkat, dan, membebankan keluarga.

Ini kalau lelaki tu ada satu isteri. Kalau dia nak bini empat, macam mana?

Orang Melayu, dalam Umno-Baru, dapat saje duit, dah, cari bini muda.

Kerajaan nak bantu kah?

Bapa keluarga ni, bukan boleh beli kereta. Dia terpaksa beli bas, nak mengangkut anak dan isteri nya merata rata.

Apabila anak-anak lulus kolej, siapa nak bagi dia kerja? Sekarang ni, ramai orang, telah di buang kerja.

Mampu kah dia nak beli rumah? Atau kereta?

Bila dah tua, siapa nak bagi, penjagaan kesihatan, yang baik?

KJ seolah olah tak pergi sekolah, dengan pendapat nya suruh kita minta bantuan kerajaan.

Belia perlu pendidikan tinggi. Belia perlukan kualiti hidup. Belia perlu pekerjaan. Belia perlu pengankutan awam yang bagus. Belia perlu perumahan.

Kita bukan pengemis. Kita nak berdikari. Kita ada maruah dan integriti.

APA YANG KJ PATUT BUAT

Mengapa KJ tak cuba hapuskan masaalah Mat Rempit, antara kaum Melayu.

Atau tolong ibu tunggal yang di tinggal kering kering, oleh bekas suami yang tak  bertanggung jawab

KJ patut tolong hapuskan masaalah kes buang bayi antara remaja.

Dan juga selesaikan masaalah ramai penagih dadah antara orang Melayu.

Mana pergi RM107 juta yang hilang dari Kementerian Sukan?

Oh ya….Apa terjadi. pada siasatan dalam kementerian Sukan, di mana wang sebanyak RM107 juta hilang? Mana penjelasan dari Khairy, sebagai menteri Sukan dan Belia?

Wahai rakyat Malaysia, kuasa, di tangan anda.

Keluar undi dalam PRU-14, dan Selamatkan Malaysia.

MARIAMMOKHTAR : KHAIRY...WHAT DID YOU LEARN AT OXFORD?

MARIAM MOKHTAR : Najaib Made a Mistake.

Mariam Mokhtar : Fake News

Mariam Mokhtar : One man’s news, is another man’s lie.

Fake boobs, fake datuks, fake degrees, fake dentists, fake marriages, fake news, fake orgasms, fake titles and now anti-fake-news laws… oh for heavens sake, fake off!

You will have heard of the expression, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Here is a variation of that theme… One man’s news, is another man’s lie.

Article 10 of our Federal Constitution states that all Malaysians are guaranteed the freedom of expression. Despite that, the recently proposed Malaysian Anti-Fake News Bill (AFNB) is another tool for the authorities to clamp down on our civil liberties. Who defines what is fake news? Is there an independent arbitrator of what constitutes fake news?

The child of a friend died on the operating table and everyone in the hospital commiserated with him. The father met a doctor-friend, who explained that the operation was tricky and citing one complex procedure, said that mistakes had probably been made. Based on this inside information, he met a member of the operating team, who agreed with his doctor-friend’s analysis.

The father said he wanted to pursue an official inquiry into the death of his child, so that others could learn from the mistakes. He stressed that he was not after any compensation. He just wanted the truth, and for others to learn from any mistakes, that may have been made.

The surgeon told him, that if he were to go ahead, the operating team, would deny any knowledge of their conversation.

The surgeon was true to his word. When the results of the official inquiry were announced, the operating team denied having made mistakes. The medical staff closed ranks.

The father was punished twice. First, he lost a child. Second. The doctors tried to portray to the media that the grieving father was suffering mental stress and adamant on blaming the hospital. He was also portrayed as a greedy person, who wanted financial compensation. He didn’t. All he wanted was the truth and for mistakes to be learnt.

If the father had first gone to the media with his story, the hospital would have denounced the news as fake. A lie. The father knows it is not fake. His son died. His doctor-friend had acknowledged the likelihood of things going wrong, but the hospital, was not prepared to mess-up its track record. It denied any wrongdoing, because it wanted to protect its reputation.

Another friend who works in a security firm, caught a shoplifter who had hidden the items she had stolen in a baby stroller. When confronted, the woman denied that she had stolen the items, until she was shown a CCTV recording of her actions.

A politician who is caught with his hands in the kitty, will of course deny he has done wrong. If he is guilty of theft, or cheated in some way, why should he escape punishment? Why can’t he be exposed? He knows that he has much to lose. Yet, all the rakyat wants are MPs with integrity and principles.

Similarly, why should whistleblowers be prosecuted for reporting a crime or an injustice? If procedures to prevent fraud were strictly enforced, these wrongdoings would not occur with increasing regularity.

The government has claimed that the AFNB is needed to defend “national security and public order,” and has stated that it will not affect freedom of expression, as protected by the Federal Constitution.

The definition of “fake news” is vague. To give unlimited powers to the authorities to determine what can be disseminated to the rakyat is not just time consuming, but will add to the frustrations of the rakyat.

In the age of speedy information gathering and dissemination, the AFNB will hamper the rakyat from accessing the truth and ultimately, it will work against the government.

Please share this story on your FB and blog....every Malaysian must know this shame that this Datin has burdened us with.

Mariam Mokhtar : You do NOT want 93-year-old Mahathir, so name us your alternative candidate. Reminder: We may have only eight weeks before GE-14…

By Mariam Mokhtar13 March, 2018

GE-14 is NOT about you, or me, or Mahathir. It is about rebuilding Malaysia!

The Anwar family have put their differences aside and are prepared to accept Mahathir as part of the Pakatan Harapan team. Former Opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim, Mat Sabu, Lim Kit Siang, and a host of other Opposition MPs, activists, academics and ordinary people who were once imprisoned under the draconian Internal Security Act (ISA) are also prepared to include Mahathir to spearhead the movement to oust Najib Abdul Razak and Umno-Baru/BN.

But apparently not you.

You recall how Mahathir was the dictator…and you think we have forgotten? Of course not. We know how many people suffered under his affirmative action policies. Many of us are still suffering. A number are still bitter…

If you are happy to allow Najib to wreck this country further, then do nothing. You obviously do not care about your children and grandchildren’s future.

WHY MAHATHIR?

As Dr Mahathir Mohamad looks back on his successes and his achievements for the nation, his recollections are tinged with sadness.

The former prime minister is not blind. He sees a nation which is torn apart. The Malays are focused on life after death. The politicians whom he once mentored are greedy and put self, above service to the nation.

Mahathir realizes that he has one last chance to make things right, for Malaysia. He needs to repair his tarnished reputation and he knows he cannot do it alone. The opposition parties, cannot do it by themselves, nor can we, act on our own; but together, we have a chance.

Mahathir’s resurgence into our lives, and politics, is one of many ironies. If most of the people he locked away under the ISA are prepared to work with him for a better Malaysia, why not you?

Many Malays live a hand-to-mouth existence, wondering how they will pay for their next meal.

The rural Malays identify with Mahathir. They will listen to him, and the language he uses to weave his magic over them is simple and straightforward. 1MDB has very little traction with the Malays, but the GST has hit them hard.

Mahathir knows that they have no knowledge of money trails, offshore banks or money laundering. These are all alien concepts to them.

Where the Opposition has been unable to enter the Malay rural heartlands, Mahathir can.

EVEN CELEBRITIES ARE VOCAL

In Mahathir’s time, you rarely heard people in the entertainment world talking about the cost of living. Today, singers and actresses have been vocal about the many hardships of Malaysians.

When the current crop of ministers and senior politicians criticise these celebrities, they make matters worse and drive home the message that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is out of touch with the ordinary Malaysians.

When Mahathir and Anwar introduced changes to the local Malaysian Islamic scene, it was to counter the rising popularity of PAS at the time. PAS felt energized by the Islamic revolution that had taken over Iran.

Three-and-a-half decades later, Iran is seeing pockets of resistance against the rising conservatism, which has taken hold in Iran, while Malaysia appears to be trapped in a time warp.

Malaysians swell with pride when they see the Petronas Twin Towers, but Mahathir is aware that the soul of the country is as cold as the steel and concrete in its foundations, and lacks moral fiber.

The national car project, Proton, mobilized the rural folk and gave them a form of independence, but Najib has sold it to the People’s Republic of China. Under Mahathir, the national airline, MAS, connected Malaysia to six continents, but today, London is its only European destination.

Umno-Baru has always told its Malay support base that it is the only party which can protect the Malays and defend Islam, lest the DAP-led opposition, which will undermine the position of the Malays.

What can Najib say or do with Mahathir at the helm of the opposition? Mahathir is neither Chinese, nor a DAP stooge. In fact, it is Najib who appears to have “sold” Malaysia to the mainland Chinese.

In recent days, Umno-Baru said that it was Abdul Razak Hussein, Najib’s father, who rescued Mahathir from the political wilderness, after he was banished from the party, by Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra.

They failed to mention that Razak helped create Felda, but that his son has destroyed Felda.

Mahathir was involved in the constitutional crisis of 1987, had his spat with the judiciary and subsequently created the new party, Umno-Baru. He knows the party’s weaknesses and strengths. He is prepared to destroy Umno-Baru because he can see that it has become a monster. He is the person who is best qualified to do the job.

MAHATHIR ACTS LIKE A MAGNET IN KAMPUNG AND FELDA AREAS

When Mahathir visits the villages, he attracts record crowds. He does not need much publicity, whereas when Najib goes on these village walkabouts, he has been known to have a bunting of his father, Razak, and leaflets, reminding people of his father’s greatness. How insecure is that?

We hear allegations that, in the past, Mahathir admonished, and threatened to sack, heads of departments who refused to kowtow to him. Today, Najib and his ministers openly threaten to sack teachers or civil servants who vote for, or support the opposition. Things must be desperate in today’s Umno-Baru.

We are all a product of Mahathir’s policies. What is done, is done. We cannot cry over spilled milk, but we can at least ensure that we take precautions, to prevent a recurrence.

Today, we are on the cusp of a new beginning, but we have the moaners, complaining about Mahathir and the past, rather than focusing on the future.

What is there to lose, if we work together with Mahathir to rebuild Malaysia? He is not going to live forever. The opposition politicians are not so stupid that they will allow him to build a new Mahathir empire.

Lessons have been learned, but you need to have a modicum of trust. Would you prefer to live in the past and continue moaning, or spoil your votes, or boycott GE14?

Or are you ready to take this leap forward and change? It is not about you, or me, or Mahathir. It is about rebuilding Malaysia!

Mariam Mokhtar : Fundamentalist Leader’s Political Kiss-of-Life for Malaysian PM

 February 9, 2018

 117

By: Mariam Mokhtar

Despite credible allegations of deep corruption and of being the architect of “kleptocracy at its worst” by US Attorney General Jeff Sessions over the US$3.5 billion Malaysia Development Bhd scandal, the Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has been given a second wind by Hadi Awang. the head of the country’s rural fundamentalist Parti Islam se-Malaysia, who appears to have formed an alliance with him.

Najib’s United Malays National Organization, or UMNO, has been wracked by a long list of scandals and saddled by infighting. Officials have been exposed in the international press as having allegedly embezzled millions of ringgit from under the noses of seemingly unsuspecting ministers. Many of its politicians and close associates including the heads of the government-linked corporations or GLCs have been linked to corruption and abuse of power.

Although logically Umno would have been trashed by the opposition Pakatan Harapan coalition, it is the opposition that is on the back foot. Instead of a strong and united front to bring down a weak UMNO, it has been hamstrung by Najib, who has skillfully manipulated PAS and Hadi to render the Islamist political party ineffective has years when PAS, with its power to pull rural votes, was an integral part of the opposition.

Years of Careful Wooing

Najib’s campaign to snare Hadi has been years in the making, with the principal vehicle an amendment sponsored by PAS that has been progressing through the Dewan Rakyat, or parliament, that would allow seventh-century Shariah law including stoning for adulterers, amputation for thieves, among other punishments, to be administered in Kelantan, the only state that PAS holds.

In an extraordinary move, Azalina Othman, a Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, late last year moved Hadi’s private member’s bill from the bottom of the list to the top, facing down a furious backlash from the public and opposition politicians.  It is unheard of in Malaysia’s parliamentary system for a government figure to support an opposition member’s bill.

“When has any political party helped a rival?” one political observer asked. “UMNO tabling the hudud bill for PAS shows that UMNO and PAS are thick as thieves.”

Many fear that should Najib lead his ruling BN Coalition to victory in GE-14, he will push the bill through to keep his side of the bargain although others believe the long stalling act by Najib, who has often demonstrated his moderate cred on an international stage, is designed to woo Hadi as long as possible without actually handing him passage.

Unlikely Islamic Hero

Najib is widely regarded as having massaged Hadi to make him believe that both can emerge as heroes of the ethnic Malays, who make up about 60 percent of the population, with the Chinese about 20 percent, Indians 7-8 percent, and other bumiputras in Sabah and Sarawak making up the bulk of the rest.

Naji’s overtures to Hadi about uniting the Malays and protecting Islam under the guise of a unity government, and the prospect of shariah and hudud law in Kelantan, have worked. Hadi’s role has been to destabilize the opposition, although now Najib has to chart another course because opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, who has languished in jail since January 2015 on what many regard as trumped-up charges, has been replaced by his former nemesis, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who once hand-picked Najib as his successor.

Anwar is to be freed in June and, as Malaysia’s most charismatic politician, could be expected to electrify the electorate. But the betting is that Najib will suspend parliament and call the election before that date. With a splintered opposition, he and his top allies expect another five years in power. 

Nonetheless, Najib cans no longer use Hadi to charge that the Chinese-dominated Democratic Action Party leads the opposition with a Muslim, albeit a half-Indian one, leading the coalition. 

Although it is suspected that Najib began courting Hadi before PAS’s former leader and respected spiritual guru, Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, died in 2015, signs that Hadi was biding his time are, in hindsight, more evident. By his recalcitrance, often opposing opposition political gambits and leaning toward the government on some issues, Hadi, with his unreliability, has surfaced as the real threat to the opposition.

Hospital visits

As an example of Najib’s mastery of the situation, observers describe bedside visits made by Najib to Hadi when he was hospitalized with heart problems at the National Heart Institute in Kuala Lumpur, in 2016. Two years earlier, when Hadi suffered a heart attack in Turkey, Najib is said to have ordered the Embassy to offer immediate assistance.

When he was still alive, although seriously ill, political analysts in Kuala Lumpur say, Nik was able to contain Hadi’s fierce political ambition. After Nik’s death, Hadi split the party and drove out people like Husam Musa, a former PAS vice president, who left and took the moderate wing of the party with him to form Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah), a moderate Islamic opposition offshoot.

As religious head of PAS, Hadi fancies himself God’s right-hand man. He is clearly confused by discussions of global economics, equality, environmental degradation or 1MDB, tending to proceed on all points by evaluating them as halal or haram – permitted or prohibited in Islam. It would take four witnesses, he believes, to declare what the US Justice Department has already decided, that 1MDB is irretrievably corrupt. Hadi has no other world view apart from Islam being a dominant force in Malay lives.

Najib is well aware of Hadi’s poor track record as an administrator as a one-term chief minister of the northeastern rural state of Terengganu (2003-2008). Under his leadership, PAS ignored the mismanagement of neighboring Kedah, which was under PAS rule, as the state was administered by an ailing and out-of-touch chief minister. 

Women off to Hell

Hadi betrayed his true credentials when he failed to endorse Wan Azizih Wan Ismail – Anwar’s wife, to be the chief minister of Selangor, the country’s richest state. In the initial stages of the nomination controversy, he claimed that sex was not an issue. A month later, he said Wan Azizah was unsuitable because she lacked qualifications and was weak. It later leaked out, that he had told delegates at a PAS general assembly, that his conscience would be pricked if he were to endorse a woman because women are destined for hell.

Najib is also aware that few people among ethnic Malays dare to question clerics. When the PAS Youth leader claimed that 2016 floods were an act of God to punish the people in the state of Kelantan for failing to implement hudud laws, Hadi didn’t disagree.

Hadi’s unpopularity with the opposition coalition is well documented. After saying it was his prerogative to attend opposition council meetings, he caused massive problems by going against decisions made on his behalf by his representatives. He skipped crucial voting for the Prevention of Terrorism Act in the early hours of 10 April 2015, which saw the government pass the law, which allows for detention without trial of suspects for two years and is widely regarded as draconian and unnecessary – other than to intimidate opposition views.

PAS Abstains

More evidence of the unwritten mutual support between Hadi and Najib was revealed during the tabling of the 2018 national budget last November. The budget was passed with 107 MPs voting for, 59 against, and 11 abstaining. The 11 who abstained were from PAS.

The Penang Institute political studies program head, Wong Chin Huat, accused PAS of being an unofficial BN coalition partner and said, “This signals what will happen if BN loses a parliamentary majority in GE-14 but remains the largest bloc. PAS will likely formalize its coalition with BN and get a substantial share in the cabinet.”

He added that PAS’s abstention would reignite suspicions of an alleged financial collaboration between UMNO and PAS, which both have denied.

“Hadi has suffered several heart attacks, and there is a possibility that a fatal one could occur at any time,” said James Chin, the Director of the Asia Institute at the University of Tasmania, writing in the East Asia Forum. “If he dies, PAS will split, and Najib may be unable to hold the new PAS leaders to the deal made with Hadi.”

When Hadi was in the coalition, he caused dissent by claiming that DAP was acting against the interests of the Malays and Islam.  He only has to stay alive for another few months.
