Leverage on Mahathir. It is the perfect example, of a knife borrowed, which we can use to kill off the enemy, UMNO

Pakatan pro tempore committe- personal thoughts of SAKMONGKOL AK47

These are my own personal comments. Most of us have read about this. Pakatan Harapan- is forming a pro tem committee. Most are us are jubilant about this. A pro tempore committee is finally in place.
Among other things, it will look into the idea of registering one common logo. As I have said some time ago, this is a right step. One of the things BN is fearful of, is the use of one logo by the opposition. Perhaps it can also discuss the idea of direct membership.
One logo. It will simplify the choice for voters. They will vote either BN or PH. It shows we can present a united front to the people. Hopefully it removes confusion. We are telling people that they have tangible choices.
The other thing that BN is fearful of is the leader who represents PH. Unfortunately we have 2 leaders who will act as advisors to PH. The leaders who met up have agreed to have 2 persons to represent PH. I don’t think this is strategic in the sense of being able to confer maximum advantages to PH. There should only be one person to represent PH.
If we don’t trust Mahathir, put Wan Azizah in charge. Or put up Muhyidin. Let us have only one captain commanding the ship. You can’t have 2 captains overseeing the command of a ship. It will run aground.
But let us ask ourselves? Will Wan Azizah have the drawing power to convert the UMNO people to our cause? We can’t bank our hopes solely on our extreme disgust of the injustice meted out to Anwar Ibrahim that we feel, giving Wan Azizah the symbolic gesture of fronting for Anwar will do the trick. We are dangerously flirting with an overrated emotion. It’s not endearing enough to have someone projecting a very feminine and likeable image comforting herself with a fontage fan.
I am not going to mince my words here. I am saying the person who is most strategically useful to us at the moment is Dr Mahathir. Put Dr Mahathir as the person representing PH.
With due respects to Wan Azizah, her placement there appears to give assurance to the PKR people, their boss is there. It’s like an insurance policy, reflecting the jockeying of position that is already looming in the background in the event that PH wins the PRU14. It is already the right of first claim by PKR when PH wins the next election. Anwar Ibrahim can become PM, after we win power.
It is also a decision to quell the distrust of the PKR people and members of PH on Mahathir. There are lingering doubts as to the sincerity of DR Mahathir in teaming up with PH. Personally I think most of these fear are unfounded.
Why do we need Wan Azizah to serve as midwife?
I have been wanting to write about this sometime ago but held back for fear on sending the wrong messages. Now that a committee is already in place, this issue can be discussed.
The only person whom UMNO fears most is Dr Mahathir. Let us make no bones about it- we are fighting UMNO. Don’t entertain PAS as a serious opponent. It’s UMNO.
After being played out on the issue of RUU355, PAS has lost credibility even among its own adherents. It can’t go back to its people by saying it tries its best but that it is UMNO which betrays them.
How do you explain that after having getting yourself besotted and ensnared by UMNO’s advances, you cannot depend on UMNO to put up the bill? Its supporters will be demanding blood soon. It has betrayed the hope and trust placed on them to deliver the RUU bill. It seems now that God has willed that Hadi’s private bill cannot get through with UMNO. It will shatter the hopes of the hundreds who came by buses to parliament the last time, to see and hear the motion becomes bill. How will Hadi explain to the expectant faces?
Some time ago, when Dr Mahathir turned up for an event organised by PKR, he was booed as he entered the hall. I understand the latent animosity and disapproval of Mahathir. Rightly or wrongly, he is seen as the person responsible for inflicting harm on Anwar.
But Mahathir now is the only person who can lead PH to defeat UMNO. Unless we defeat UMNO and win power, I am afraid, but have to say this, our friend Anwar Ibrahim will rot in jail. I am not taking away anything from Anwar Ibrahim, but there is also a sizeable portion of our citizens who do not believe in his ability as a leader. If he is pragmatic, Anwar will endorse Mahathir as leader of PH. He should stop playing politics from jail. I think for him, putting up Mahathir is a better choice than having Azmin Ali as co advisor.
As a blogger qua blogger, I will write about the internal politics of PKR sometime in the future.
With Mahathir coming on board, that portion opposed to PH for whatever reasons, can be reduced in size and our chance to defeat UMNO is increased. Just look as Felda. Whenever Mahathir comes, the crowd is huge. We incapacitate Felda, we incapacitate UMNO.
When Najib was in Tawau recently he asked the question repeatedly- who does Sabah people support?- the answer came back loudly, Mahathir.
It is strategic for us, to leverage on Mahathir’s acceptability by the people. Mahathir still commands the reservoir of support in the Malay heartland.
Leverage on Mahathir. It is the perfect example, of a knife borrowed, which we can use to kill off the enemy, UMNO

SAKMONGKOL : Ada hati tidak mahu faham, ada telinga tidak mahu dengar, ada mata tidak mahu lihat- bahagian

Malay |  April 1, 2017 

Bahagian 2.

Kita tidak mahulah berkata- kan saya dah beritahu? Masaalah nya, ramai sangat pemimpin PAS melupakan karakter Najib yang sebenar. Mungkin kerana ramai pemimpin mereka di gula2kan oleh pegawai2 najib.

Mungkin ada kebenaran bahawa pemimpin PAS menerima RM90 juta atau lebih. Wang dalam tangan tidak tahu ianya berada dalam tangan tok lebai, ustaz, ketua geng 04, ayahanda bonda dan sebagainya.

Ada yang melawat keluar negara- berlibur di Afrika Selatan dan Eropah. Sekelip mata ada wang yang banyak dan boleh beli kereta yang harga hampir RM600 ribu dengan tunai. Ada yang menikmati keseronokan hidup sekular diluar negara. Mereka lupa kepada kerendahan diri dan kabur untuk melihat karakter Najib yang sebenar.

Bukan nya karakter yang dicipta secara artifisial oleh pegawai2 hubungan awam nya- sama ada mantan pegawai TV3 atau PR consultants dari Eropoh atau USA. Pemimpin PAS sepatutnya mengkaji karakter Najib dari sejarah nya.

Sekarang bila Najib terang2 menyatakan tidak membentang dan tidak menyokong usul RUU355, beranikan sesiapa dalam PAS mengatakan Najib terkeluar agama, tergelincir aqidah, dan bila mati kelak, dikebumikan di jirat Cina? Istiharkah lah, semua hendak dengar.

Malah, sebagai reaksi menyelamatkan air muka, ustaz Nik Abduh kata dia faham kedudukan PM.

Saya sudah beritahu- yang memberi title tuan guru, tok guru, murrabbi adalah mereka sendiri dan sesama mereka. Gelaran dan title berjela dan hebat, tapi akal tidak sama panjang dan bijak.

Sejak 2009 menjadi PM, karakter Najib yang sebenar terserlah. Dari teriakan bahawa zaman kerajaan besar sudah berlalu, Najib menunjukkan bahawa dia semakin draconian dan diktator. Undang2 yang menzalimi rakyat biasa seperti POCA, POTA, SOSMA dan mutakhir sekali National Security Council Act di ujudkan oleh Najib untuk menekan rakyat.Tidak seorang pun pemimpin PAS bercakap mengenai penangkapan dan pemenjaraan Siti Noor Aishah dibawah akta2 ini.

Dalam tahun 2012, Najib menyenaraikan FGV yang bermaksud merampas asset dari FELDA dan peneroka. Nasib peneroka terumbang ambing kerana asset tangible mereka seperti tanah dan kilang, jentera ditukar kepada saham yang intangible. Nasib peneroka diperjudikan dalam pasaran saham.

Ianya menunjukkan Najib cuai menjaga nasib peneroka. Skendel 1MDB menunjukkan bahawa Najib seorang yang menggunakan kuasa untuk mencuri wang, menipu dan berbohong dan tidak amanah, tidak jujur. Duit RM4 billon dari KWAP lesap. Projek2 di jalankan dengan harga yang di inflasikan berlipat ganda.

Kesemua ini membayangkan karakter Najib yan tamak haloba dan yang paling releven kepada PAS ialah Najib seorang yang tidak boleh dipercayai. Adakah pemimpin PAS jantan untuk mengatakan Najib seorang munafik?

Ini suatu perkara yang berat- sebab jika Najib seorang munafik, maka PAS yang menyokong nya juga orang2 munafik.

At Tawbah: 67

الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَالْمُنَافِقَاتُ بَعْضُهُم مِّن بَعْضٍ ۚ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمُنكَرِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَقْبِضُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ ۚ نَسُوا اللَّهَ فَنَسِيَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ

Lelaki dan perempuan yang munafik sama antara satu sama lain. Mereka menganjurkan kemungkaran dan menegah ma’ruf dan tangan mereka tertutup. Mereka telah melupakan Allah jadi Dia melupakan mereka. Sesungguhnya golongan munafik adalah golongan yang tersangat ingkar dan fasik.

Tapi itu semua diketepikan oleh pemimpin PAS dan kenalah mereka berjawab kepada ahli mereka sendiri. Bererti PAS dipimpin oleh mereka yang orang Islam tidak boleh percaya dan diberikan amanah.

Di dalam al Quran 3:75 menyebutkan;

وَمِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مَنْ إِن تَأْمَنْهُ بِقِنطَارٍ يُؤَدِّهِ إِلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ إِن تَأْمَنْهُ بِدِينَارٍ لَّا يُؤَدِّهِ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا مَا دُمْتَ عَلَيْهِ قَائِمًا ۗ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لَيْسَ عَلَيْنَا فِي الْأُمِّيِّينَ سَبِيلٌ وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ

Dan diantara ahli kitab jika engkau percayakan harta yang banyak, niscaya dia akan mengembalikan kepada mu. Tapi ada pula dintara mereka yg jika engkau percayakan hanya satu dinar, dia tidak akan mengembalikan nya kecuali engkau selalu menagih kepada nya. Ini adalah kerana mereka mengatakan tidak ada dosa dan tanggung jawab kami kepada mereka yg ummi dan buta huuf. Mereka mengatakan hal yang dusta kpdAllah, pada hal mereka mengetahui.

PAS sebetulya tidak peduli kepada penyokong nya yang sebahagian besarnya dianggap oleh pimpinan PAS sebagai tidaklah cerdik walaupun taat beragama.

Saya mengajak penyokong PAS menolak pemimpin yang anggap penyokong nya bodoh dan oleh yang demikian tidak perlu bertanggung jawab keatas mereka. Anggaplah mereka semua bersubahat dengan Najib menjahanamkan negara.Ingatlah keIslaman kita tidak memerlukan pensijilan daripada pihak ke-3.
