Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Bukan Rakyat tak Sayang BN,tapi…..

Melihat kpd perkembangan mutakhir ini,ramai yg merasakan bhw rakyat tlh menolak BN.Namun hakikatnya ia bukan begitu,Rakyat sebenarnya mahu menghantar mesej kpd Krjn bhw mereka mahukan perubahan,Baik Melayu,Cina,India mahupun Bumiputera di Sbh dan Swk.Rakyat kini berasa tersisih akibat perhatian yg lebih diberikan kpd ahli2 parti politik berbanding rakyat.Rakyat mahu Krjn ingat bhw selain ahli parti yg bernaung bwh parti2 sahsiah dibwh BN ini,sebenarnya ada puluhan juta lg warganegara yg mengidamkan belaian dan kasih sayang Krjn memerintah Barisan Nasional.

Kenapa rakyat berasa begitu asing hanya semata2 mereka tidak menganggotai mana2 parti politik? Sedangkan semua rakyat sebenarnya berhak utk merasakan diri mereka adalah sebahagian drp Barisan Nasional Hakikatnya hari ini,tanpa kita sedari BN tlh secara tidak sengaja membina sebuah tembok pemisah antara pemimpin,ahli dan rakyat,ini tlh mewujudkan jurang dan ‘double standard’ dikalangan rakyat dan ini amat mengguris hati dan perasaan rakyat.Oleh yg demikian adalah menjadi tanggunjawab BN utk merobohkan Tembok itu seterusnya memenangi hati rakyat semula supaya rakyat kembali kpd Barisan Nasional.Percayalah Rakyat masih Rasional,Rakyat tahu hanya BN yg boleh membawa pembangunan,cuma Rakyat sudah bosan dan jelek dgn sikap sesetengah ataupun rata2 pemimpin BN yg tamak dan tidak menghiraukan nasib mereka.Bagaimana utk membetulkan keadaan ini,jawapannya mudah,’BERUBAH’ BN tiada pilihan selain berubah dan kembali kpd perjuangan asal…iaitu BERKHIDMAT UNTUK RAKYAT.

Hari ini,rakyat sudah bijak,mereka boleh menilai antara realiti dan retorik.Oleh kerana mereka menilai dan hasil penilaian mereka menunjukan berlaku byk kepincangan dlm BN,makanya rakyat kecewa.Apabila rakyat kecewa,maka rakyat mula bertindak secara emosional lantas memikirkan jalan keluar yg mudah iaitu dgn pergi kpd Parti Pembangkang. Rakyat juga sedar bhw Parti Pembangkang juga tidak mampu membuat perubahan,namun apa sahaja pilihan yg rakyat ada,utk menyampaikan mesej kpd Krjn?. hakikatnya rakyat masih sayangkan BN,Cuma Rakyat hari ini,menuntut perubahan,Rakyat juga sudah mual dgn tindakan pembangkang yg selalu menangguk di Air Keroh dan memporak-perandakan keamanan negara.Rakyat juga jijik dgn permainan politik kotor pembangkan.

Menyedari keadaan dan tuntutan rakyat itu,maka…UMNO,MCA,MIC,GERAKAN dan Semua PARTI KOMPONEN BN,perlu kembali kepada perjuangan asal.Perjuangan BN yg sebenarnya adalah utk membangunkan negara seterusnya memastikan rakyat hidup aman dan damai didalam Negara bertuah Malaysian ini.Parti2 politik dibwh BN perlu mengambil tindakan drastik utk menjaga dan memperjuangkan nasib bangsa masing2 kerana dgn semangat inilah makanya kita memiliki Negara berbilang-bangsa yg unik hari ini.

UMNO umpamanya,UMNO perlu membuat perubahan yg besar dlm gerak kerjanya…UMNO mesti mesra rakyat dan mudah didekati.Cukuplah dgn program2 syok sendiri yg menjadi budaya UMNO dari dulu hingga kini.UMNO hari ini harus mendekati badan2 bukan Krjn(NGO’s),profesional muda,Mahasiswa,Pelajar Sekolah,Org kampung,pekerja kilang,pemandu teksi,tukang jaga tandas dan segala yg bernafar di bumi bertuah ini.Sertai mereka,dekati mereka,jdkan mereka sbg sebahagian keluarga UMNO.Begitu juga dgn MCA,MIC dan Parti Komponen yg lain.Mereka juga harus menjadi hero kpd bangsa2 yg mereka wakili,kerana itulah juga tujuan parti2 tersebut lahir,ia mmg lahir utk memperjuangkan dan mempertahankan nasib anak bangsa mereka,maka tiada salah atau cacatnya jika mereka memainkan peranan mereka,selagi ia dilaksanakan dgn cara dan saluran yg betul.

Kehadiran BN perlu dirasai oleh rakyat.Rakyat ingin melihat usaha ini dijalankan oleh BN.BN harus buktikan kpd Rakyat bhw BN benar2 ingin berubah.Baru2 ini,YAB PM tlh turun sendiri keakar umbi utk mendalami perasaan dan isi hati rakyat.Rakyat amat terharu atas keperihatinan PM,tp bukan itu yg Rakyat harapkan,Rakyat tahu bhw YAB Pak Lah cukup perihatin thdp keadaan rakyat,tp apa yg rakyat lebih mahukan adalah rakyat ingin melihat menteri2 dan pimpinan UMNO / BN ini bekerja utk mereka. Hari ini Perdana Menteri tlh buktikan kesungguhannya mendekati akar umbi,jika PM boleh lakukan mengapa tidak yg lain,Menteri,Tim.Menteri,MB,YB Parlimen,Exco Krjn Negeri,ADUN,Ketua bhgn UMNO/MCA/MIC ,Ketua Wanita,Pemuda,Puteri UMN/ MCA/MIC Bhgn dan Semua ahli2nya bergerak,bekerja senada seirama utk memenangi hati rakyat semula.Pedulikan semua permasalahan yg remeh temeh ini.

Pimpinan politik Krjn harus sedar,Rakyat menolak BN hari ini bukan kerana namanya BN ataupun Org yg memimpinnya…tetapi Rakyat tidak boleh terima pendekatan yg BN guna pakai yg tidak mesra Rakyat…Apa sudah jadi kpd tema ‘Tradisi membela Rakyat’,Hakikatnya Rakyat x merasa terbela…apa yg rakyat nikmati hari ini mmg benar adalah hasil titik peluh Pemimpin BN terdahulu,Namun ia bukanlah alasan utk Rakyat terus menyokong BN Jika BN mengabaikan nasib mereka.Rakyat menghargai segala jasa dan sumbangan BN,Rakyat tidak pernah menafikannya tp Rakyat juga mahu BN melakukan lebih dari itu,krn bg rakyat apa yg BN buat hari ini,org lain juga boleh buat,Oleh itu BN mesti memikirkan satu kaedah utk menjadikan ia lain drp lain seterusnya memikat hati rakyat utk memilih mereka dan bukan org lain.

Dibwh Krjn BN,ada pelbagai kemudahan dan kementerian yg bertanggunjawab keatas setiap yg bernafas di negara ini.Mengapa Kementerian2 ini tidak mengkaji ataupun menilai semula ttg apakah permasalahan sebenar yg Rakyat hadapi.Jika kementerian2 ini dpt mengesan dan mengenalpasti permasalahan dan isu2 berbangkit ttg rakyat seterusnya membantu rakyat mengatasi masalah itu,rakyat pasti gembira,kemudian UMNO,MCA,MIC dan Parti Komponen yg lain pula berjuang habis2an utk memajukan anak bangsa masing2 dlm membentuk rakyat Malaysia yg berguna,jika ini berlaku,bukankah BN akan kembali kuat dan unggul? Pokoknya,piminan BN harus sedar,bhw mereka harus/wajib berubah.Percayalah,jika rakyat boleh melihat perubahan ini,maka sokongan keatas BN akan beransur2 pulih.BN mesti jamu Rakyat dgn berita2 yg menampakan Pemimpin BN Bekerja dan mendekati rakyat,biar Suratkhabar penuh dan terpaksa tambah muka surat utk menceritakan sumbangan dan pengorbanan Pemimpin BN,Biar rakyat lihat sendiri dan tafsir sendiri.Apabila Rakyat merasai dan menikmati belaian serta sentuhan pimpinan krjn BN ini,Rakyat akan gembira dan bila rakyat gembira maka mereka akan setia dan terus bersama BN.

Maka jelaslah hari ini,Rakyat masih sayangkan BN dan berpegang kpd prinsip sayang anak tangan2kan,sayang isteri tinggal2kan maka BN kena terima hakikat bhw rakyat sebenarnya masih sayangkan BN cuma Rakyat mengharapkan perubahan.Rakyat tahu yg pembangkang tak akan mampu membentuk Krjn,hanya BN yg akan terus menerajui tampok pemerintahan Negara,tp ‘Tolonglah! Tolonglah….berubah,BN harus bangun drp dibuai mimpi indah,BN mesti sentiasa ingat rakyat benci akan BN,maka BN perlu menggubah persepsi itu….’ Oleh itu Jgn buang masa lg,kami sbg rakyat juga byk kerja yg perlu diselesaikan,kami x ada masa nk sibuk2 ttg hal2 politik ni,kami juga percaya Pemimpin BN juga mesti byk tugasan yg perlu dilaksanakan,lebih2 lg selepas membaca artikel ini…marilah kita berganding bahu memajukan negara…Bersama setia,pemimpin dan rakyat,seiya sekata dgn rasa erat,yg berat dipukul,yg ringan dijinjing,sejalan seiringan dgn rasa syukur.Jika ada kekusutan dicari penyelesaian demi masa depan Malaysia tersayang.Ke gunung sama didaki,kelurah sama turuni biar ikhlas berjuang demi negara tercinta,bagai aur dgn tebing saling perlu memerlukan,RAKYAT dan PEMIMPIN tidak mungkin dipisahkan….

The Mahathir gambit: This is the only way, says Dr Mahathir

ALOR STAR: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has quit Umno saying he has totally lost confidence in its leadership.

He made the unexpected announcement in front of about 1,500 people at a forum in response to a dare from one of the participants to lead the way in leaving the party.
Asking other Umno members to follow in his footsteps, Dr Mahathir, 83, said they should not join any other political parties but should rejoin Umno once Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has resigned as party president and prime minister.

“The Malays, Umno members and many other people have sent him messages about their dissatisfaction over his leadership, especially after the March 8 elections, but Abdullah has remained unaffected.

“We have to be radical and brave and this is the only way to bring him down,” he said to loud cheers at a talk on “The Future of Malays after the 12th General Election”, organised by the Kedah Malay Assembly Hall.

Among those present were assembly chairman Tan Sri Khalid Abdullah, Jerlun Umno division chief Datuk Abdul Rahman Ariffin, Kuala Nerang state assemblyman Datuk Syed Sobri Syed Syed Hashim, Sungai Tiang state assemblyman Suraya Yaacob and former Kedah menteri besar Tan Sri Sanusi Junid.

Dr Mahathir, an Umno life member, announced his decision after someone asked if he would take the lead since he had made the suggestion during his hour-long talk earlier.

A member from the floor, who had identified himself as Ismail Jaziz, had asked Dr Mahathir if he would take the lead since he had mooted the idea about members resigning.

To this, Dr Mahathir, in a serious tone, said: “Waa, saya di cabar ni…(I have been dared). Yes, I will leave Umno…until the party leadership is determined. Other Umno members should follow me.”

Later, at a press conference, Dr Mahathir said he would write to Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor over his decision soon.

Asked if many Umno members would take up his challenge, he said it was up to them to prioritise Abdullah or the party’s struggles.

“It is up to them to follow or not, but if they think they should continue supporting Pak Lah and give priority to Datuk Abdullah (Ahmad) Badawi over the party’s struggles, it is their right.”

He said it was high time for Umno members who loved the party to be bold for the future of the Malays. Such a move would not cause the Malays to lose their political power.

“The Malays would not lose their political power. They want to correct things not because they simply want to leave.

“If they are brave and want to safeguard the party and the Malay struggles, then they must also be brave to take action.

“However, we find that many Umno members can’t even attend certain gatherings… division chairmen also cannot attend… what is this?”

Dr Mahathir said when Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah opposed him before, former prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman had thrown in his support for his opponent and that he never stopped any member from campaigning against him.

“Now, we cannot say anything against the prime minister or the party president. This is not Umno,” he said.

Asked if Umno state assemblymen and MPs should also quit the party, he said they should if they truly loved the party.

Dr Mahathir reiterated he would only rejoin Umno after Abdullah had resigned his posts.

Asked if his call and decision could be construed as him giving up on the party, he said he would not ask others to follow him if he himself was afraid to do so.

Earlier, Dr Mahathir said quitting the party would not weaken Umno because he himself was expelled from the party for three years from 1969.

“Umno remained strong and it continued to get support from members who were honest in fighting for the race, religion and country then.”

He said he was compelled to issue a strong message to the Umno leadership to start listening to members’ needs and not heed only suggestions and advice from a small group of powerful people.

He said Abdullah was not suitable to lead the nation because he was too soft and would give in to Singapore, the United States, Hindraf and the Bar Council.

He said Abdullah had consistently refused to accept the fact that under his leadership, Umno and Barisan Nasional were on the verge of collapse after they lost five states, including the Federal Territory, and failed to recapture Kelantan.

“He is responsible for destroying BN component parties like the MCA, MIC, Gerakan and PPP when they lost miserably in the last elections.

“As a result, the Chinese and Indian communities, which had been ardent supporters of BN, no longer have confidence in the ruling coalition.”

Dr Mahathir said the people of Kedah should also do something for being treated unfairly by Abdullah since they did not have any representative in the cabinet.

“We lost Perak, Penang, Selangor and Kelantan but they have representatives in the cabinet, but why is there no one from Kedah?”

Asked if his decision had anything to do with the V.K. Lingam video clip controversy, Dr Mahathir denied it.

“Nope. That is a court matter and I will go to the courts.

“If they make allegations against me, I could also do the same and if I am found guilty, they can put me in jail but if I am not guilty, please don’t arrest me .”
