Mee segera atau cermin muka ?


Catatan sejarah kita menyebut bahawa pada tahun 1974 berlaku tunjuk perasaan yang ditunjangi penuntut pengajian tinggi. 

Tunjuk perasaan di Baling, Kedah dan di Kuala Lumpur itu dikatakan demi memperjuangkan nasib petani yang papa kedana sehingga ada yang mati kelaparan. Terdapat lebih dari satu versi dan pendekatan akan tunjuk perasaan yang dihadiri lebih 10,000 penduduk kampung dan pelajar pengajian tinggi itu.

Pelbagai laporan menyatakan bahawa bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, salah seorang dari kalangan pemimpin pelajar yang berkarisma, merupakan pemangkin kebangkitan pelajar pada waktu itu. 

Ada yang mengatakan beliau hanya menghasut berdasarkan khabar angin yang tidak benar. Apapun tunjuk perasaan Baling itu tercatat dalam sejarah negara. 

Ekonomi yang merudum dan harga barangan yang melambung menjadi api dalam sekam pada waktu itu dan kemarahan rakyat bawahan adalah benar dan nyata. 

Ada yang berpandangan bahawa peristiwa Baling itu hanya satu episod hitam dalam perjalanan kita. 

Tidak kurang juga yang mentafsir peristiwa itu sebagai titik permulaan riwayat politik Anwar Ibrahim. Sepanjang kareer politik beliau yang gilang gemilang terutamanya ketika dalam Umno, Anwar sering dicanang sebagai Hero Baling.   
Presiden Perkasa Datuk Ibrahim Ali, juga salah seorang aktivis pelajar yang popular pada tahun 1974, pula mengatakan Anwar bukan Hero Baling

Siapa Hero Baling? Mungkin Anwar, mungkin Ibrahim, mungkin Syed Hamid Ali atau mungkin juga Hishamuddin Rais. Ramai yang terlibat ketika itu.

Ramai juga yang mengaku dan mendabik tetapi hakikatnya kekal bahawa pada tahun 1974 ribuan pelajar keluar memperjuangkan nasib petani dan penoreh yang diberitakan kelaparan dihimpit kemiskinan. 

Nasib yang miskin dan kelaparan diperjuangkan pelajar ketika itu. Nasib pelajar yang kebuluran ketika ini pula bagaimana? 

Tak tahu nak hantar mee segera atau cermin muka.

Konspirasi dan kebenaran Skandal 1MDB

Nampaknya pelbagai percubaan telah dan sedang dilakukan untuk mengaburi mata rakyat dari Skandal 1MDB. Secara khususnya cubaan demi cubaan dilakukan untuk mengalih tumpuan orang ramai dari penglibatan langsung Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak dalam skandal yang amat memalukan negara ini. 

Untuk makluman, Najib Tun Razak belum lagi menjawab isu wang tunai berbillion Ringgit yang dilaporkan telah disimpan dalam akaun peribadi beliau di Ambank. Laporan akhbar terkemuka dunia The Wall Street Journal dalam satu pembongkaran eksklusif telah melaporkan butiran agihan dana bernilai lebih kurang 700,000,000 Dolar Amerika (anggaran RM2.6 Billion) dan telah beberapa kali selepas itu membuat kenyataan bahawa laporan mereka adalah berasakan bukti kukuh

Selain percubaan untuk mengalihkan perhatian serta persoalan rakyat akan laporan dana dalam akaun, sehingga kini Najib belum lagi mengambil apa-apa tindakan undang-undang yang jelas terhadap WSJ kecuali meminta jasabaik WSJ untuk menyuluh sesuatu yang sudah terang menerusi satu surat permintaan kepada akhbar tersebut. 

Untuk beberapa ketika isu pergaduhan di Plaza Low Yat diKuala Lumpur cuba dicanang disana sini untuk mengalih perhatian rakyat dan apabila percubaan itu gagal timbul pula seorang bekas editor akhbar dari Sarawak yang telah beberapa kali dipecat dari jawatan beliau sebelum ini. 

Cerita konspirasi editor tersebut 'mati ketika dilahirkan' apabila beliau mengaku telah dibayar oleh seseorang yang mengaku sebagai Pegawai Khas kepada Perdana Menteri. 

Kini cerita warga Swiss yang ditahan Polis Thailand untuk siasatan perasugut terhadap PetroSaudi pula muncul kembali. Pada mulanya Polis Thailand telah menolak beberapa permintaan Polis Malaysia untuk mencampuri isu Justo. 

Namun beberapa laporan terkini dan percubaan tanpa henti akhbar tempatan ternampak seolah satu lagi skrip konspirasi telah disediakan. Konspirasi kali ini berkisar dengan kenyataan jurucakap Polis Thailand yang telah membuat kenyataan berbau politik dimana konon-nya Justo telah mengaku berjumpa dengan beberapa ahli politik (pembangkang dan ahli Umno) dalam urusan menjual beli maklumat sulit tentang 1MDB-Petrosaudi. 

Bersedialah untuk disajikan dengan pelbagai rasa hidangan berencah Thailand berasaskan pengakuan Justo yang datangnya dari pihak ketiga, ke-empat dan para pendukung Mohd Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak. 

Dalam suasana dimana kita tidak pasti sama ada watak Justo itu sendiri adalah kisah benar atau sebenarnya sebahagian daripada beberapa cerita rekaan untuk mengalih perhatian dari penyiasatan skandal 1MDB, cerita konspirasi adalah tidak berapa penting. 

Jika konspirasi dijadikan sandaran maka tidak mungkin bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri Malaysia Datuk Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim disabitkan kesalahan, dua kali, oleh badan penghakiman negara. 

Jika cerita konspirasi dijadikan sandaran, Najib pun ada berjumpa dengan Saiful Bukhari sebelum laporan polis kes liwat kedua terhadap Anwar Ibrahim dibuat. Apakah perjumpaan itu menidakkan jenayah liwat yang dilakukan Anwar?  

Jika tidak kenapa perjumpaan Justo dengan ahli politik Malaysia atau Ahli Kongres Timbaktu atau mungkin Sami Budha dari Burma harus menjadi isu utama yang dicanang tanpa henti? Jika Justo meniduri pelacur dari Kota Belit pun, tidak menjadi isu kepada rakyat Malaysia.

Perkara pokok bagi kita adalah - rasuah, salahguna kuasa, melesapkan duit negara, mencuri tanah milik kerajaan, menipu pihak berkuasa termasuk Bank Negara dan berbohong kepada rakyat Malaysia.

Yang penting bagi kita rakyat Malaysia ialah untuk memastikan agar negara kita ini tidak diketuai oleh seorang individu yang tidak bermoral, rasuah, pembohong dan telah menggadaikan diri kepada kuasa asing, termasuk saudagar Unta yang kaya-raya dari Timur Tengah. 

Yang penting bagi kita adalah agar Mohd Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak, Perdana Menteri Malaysia, tampil memperjelaskan beberapa jenayah penipuan, pengalihan wang haram serta salahguna kuasa yang melibatkan beliau sebagai penjawat awam yang telah bersumpah untuk setia kepada negara ini. 

Kita risau kalau-kalau negara kita ini sebenarnya sudah tergadai. Kita amat risau jika pemimpin kita tidak lagi bergerak diatas landasan kebenaran demi kepentingan negara Malaysia dan rakyatnya. Kita risau kebatilan semakin subur dengan taburan wang ringgit dan emas permata. Kita risau akan kelangsungan negara kita Malaysia. 

Tidak mengapa jika Najib tidak ingin menceritakan apa beliau bincang dengan mangsa liwat Anwar Ibrahim sebelum laporan Polis dibuat beberapa tahun yang lalu itu, kita ingin tahu kebenaran akan skandal 1MDB yang amat memalukan negara dipersada dunia sekarang. 

Perdana Menteri Malaysia Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak harus tampil menjawab segala persoalan yang ditimbulkan secara terbuka dan bukannya menyorok dibelakang budak hingusan bergelar Menteri kabinet. 

Perdana Menteri boleh bermula dengan menjawab soalan mudah berikut:-
Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak, BENAR atau TIDAK duit berjumlah lebih kurang RM2.6 Billion dimasukkan kedalam akaun peribadi anda di Ambank? 

Nota kaki: Jangan buat bodo' Datuk Seri, rakyat Malaysia celik.

Scapegoats and Oxygen for the boss


Little birds tell me that the Prime Minister has washed his hands and distanced himself from the recent unwarranted mainstream i.e. TV3, Utusan and NST's attacks against Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Tun Daim Zainuddin. 

They say a recent meeting in Davos and London attended by powerful strategists and lowly operators had decided that they must find a scapegoat, or rather a few scapegoats for the leader's political survival. Not sure if Najib himself had attended the meeting of conspirators.

The blade, I heard, would fall on a few media bosses and at least one senior officer from Najib's office itself. The media bosses would be blamed for all the TV3/NST/Utusan attacks, including the lowly decision to use Anwar Ibrahim and other PKR politicians,  against Tun Dr Mahathir and Tun Daim. 

Guess who becomes more powerful and gets away scot-free despite being the low class mastermind and a direct messenger between Najib and the media bosses?

When the going gets dirty, we could safely expect more dirt to float.

On another note, it was learnt that both the Tuns had a brief meeting a few days ago and one of the Tun was told by the other that Najib had promised to get his boys to stop all media attacks and vouched that it was not his doing and that he was not in the know. 

Serious housekeeping and changes too were promised to the Tun, in exchange of some breathing space. 

I think the 'not his doing and not being in the know' is just another bloody lie but let's give him the benefit of the doubt and watch closely if extra Oxygen could do wonders.

Perak PKR state assemblyman QUITS? - UPDATED

It has been brought to my attention that the 'resignation letter' purportedly sent by YB Kesavan is fake. Kesavan has denied sending the letter.

I hope YB Kesavan will step forward to explain this 'fake' letter soon. We want to know if:

1. The letter is indeed fake; or

2. Is it a genuine letter with Kesavan's original signature but was 'leaked' to the State Assembly Speaker by persons known to the YB?

Please clarify YB!

Earlier posting:
Hutan Melintang state assemblyman YB Kesavan has QUIT  (w.e.f 2nd Feb 2014) from PKR. His notification was received by the Perak state Speaker's Office earlier today. 
                                            

YB Kesavan's letter says it very clearly…"Hilang kepercayaan dan tidak berpuashati terhadap kepimpinan parti terse but'. (he has denied it now)

I was told that a few more Pakatan Rakyat Members of Parliament and State Assemblyman are expected to follow suit and become independent elected representatives following PKR's dirty politics in Kajang. 

Well, guess its normal for those who have some form of self respect to walk away when you (the party and leadership) don't walk the talk. 

Let's watch this dimension of Rafizi's 'Kajang Move' very closely.

The 'Proxy Dictator'

It is essential to look past the empty rhetoric of “democracy,” “human rights,” and “progress” used to justify foreign-funding and meddling to install servile autocrats like Thailand’s Thaksin, Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi, or even Malaysia’s proxy dictator-in-waiting Anwar Ibrahim, and see the greater geopolitical game at play. It is also essential to expose the disingenuous organizations, institutions, and media personalities helping promote this global corporate-fascist agenda.
The New York Times also dutifully cites Ford Foundation/Soros’ Open Society-funded Human Rights Watch and Soros-funded (page 10) Amnesty International who have predictably “condemned the recent arrests, and called on the government to stop harassing those associated with [Soros-funded] Bersih.”
A pattern of foreign-funded organizations carrying out foreign-backed sedition within a target country, in turn backed by the corporate-owned media and “independent,” “international” organizations funded by the exact same money can be seen clearly in practice on Kuala Lumpur’s streets. What is also interesting is that NED-funded operations outside of Malaysia have also been directed to support Bersih.
Washington and London funded organizations like NED, IRI, NDI, Freedom House, and others are creating a global homogeneous NGO, “civil society” underlay that is centrally funded and centrally controlled. They operate in nearly every nation on Earth and they work in tandem with their regional doppelgangers toward a singular goal.
It is not that the “free and fair” elections many Bersih members are fighting for aren’t a legitimate cause. It is the fact that the leadership of Bersih are disingenuously harnessing the good intentions, energy, and resources of their naive followers to carry out foreign-funded sedition and regime change that will result in a dismal future for all Malaysians. Surely the ancestors of today’s Bersih protesters didn’t struggle and fight for Malaysian independence just so aforeign-backed stooge like Anwar Ibrahim could worm his way back into power, and with him bring back the same slouching degenerate bankers, merchants, and monied elite who had despoiled Malaysia and her riches for centuries. 
Suthep Thaugsuban (20.29): The fake government continues to falsify information and slander the peaceful protesters to mislead the diplomatic corps and foreign press. Unlike Tony Cartalucci, who maintains his professional integrity and has a profound understanding of Thailand, many foreign media outlets have either fallen prey to the sham government’s lies, or have been successfully lobbied by Thaksin’s money. Lobbyists include: Edelman PR and particularly Robert Amsterdam, Thakin’s servant/lobbyist.
Tony Cartalucci writes that the Emergency Decree is the last desperate attempt by the Thaksin regime to stay in power. Yingluck and her cronies are being slowly choked to death by our marches. [For Cartalucci's latest piece on Thailand, see: http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2014/01/thailand-regime-cites-own-terror.html]

Oh! Nurul Izzah Binti Anwar Ibrahim...

… she draws up a wish list for Umno.

As reported in the Opposition mouthpiece Malaysiakini, a portal that is seeking millions of public funds for their posh new building somewhere in PJ, Nurul seems to be more attracted to Umno than PKR.
Nurul' wish list - by Opposition mouthpiece Malaysiakini


PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar has listed several pertinent issues which should be raised during the Umno general assembly to prove it is not only concerned with the centralisation of economic spoils and keeping selected individuals in power.Topping the Lembah Pantai MP’s list was former Kuala Lumpur CID chief Mat Zain Ibrahim’s statutory declaration, which contained allegations of wrongdoing by Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail (right) with regard to the Batu Puteh dispute.ghani patail gani 060409
Calling on BN to give this matter serious attention, she said: “The issue concerns the (alleged) violation of our nation’s sovereignty by one of our citizens.”

Following this, the PKR leader said Umno must also raise the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), which can lead to economic colonisation.

“In view of this, I recommend that Umno raise the issue of forming a Parliament Select Committee regarding the TPPA and also debate the demand that Parliament be given the power to ratify the agreement before it is inked,” she added.

Number three on Nurul’s list are the Sulu incursion in Sabah as well as the murder and abduction of Taiwanese tourists in that state.

Apart from this, she also wanted the Umno assembly to focus on the issuing of identity cards to foreigners as well as the allegations that countries like the US and Singapore are conducting espionage activities on Malaysia.

“These issues must not only be debated, but Umno must vehemently condemn them,” she said.

Its quite an irony for the Opposition leader's daughter to publicly voice her wish list for Umno. Could it be hidden love and affection for the party that made her family rich and famous? 

It seems Nurul has resigned to the fact that only Umno, the party in which her father was a powerful politician over a decade ago, could make her wishes come true.   

Nurul must have been reminded that it was Umno that once nurtured her street demonstration savvy father Anwar Ibrahim and turned him into a sane politician until power, greed and flamboyance got the better of him. 

I suspect mummy cum PKR president Datin Seri Wan Azizah must have reminded Nurul that  it was actually Umno that fed her family and sent her and her siblings to top grade learning institutions. 

So, I hope Umno would view Nurul's wish list in a positive light and email her a membership form. Who knows she could be one of the speakers in the next Umno General Assembly.

I'm sure many could understand why Nurul did not draw up a wish list for PKR. 

Nurul's father too had a pretty long WISH LIST… his own wish list while Tun Ghaffar was still deputy president of Umno.  

YOU forgot what Anwar did to the late Tun Ghaffar?

Enjit enjit semut... siapa tidur naik gaji



Selangor Mentri Besar Khalid Ibrahim says the over 300% salary hike approved by the state government will not be reviewed or suspended despite overwhelming criticisms against the move.

His economic advisor who draws just RM 1 ringgit a month is obviously furious. He has demanded a review of the hike and an explanation to the people of Selangor. (Not sure if he is proposing a pay hike for the economic advisor as well)

The deputy president of Khalid Ibrahim's party has called on the sleeping beauty MB to suspend the state assembly passed pay hike coz it was never discussed in the party.

Now, who said PKR was a cacamarba party? Is this not the right time for Azmin to replace Khalid?

Commission of Inquiry on Lahad Datu... in the Philippines?

Former Indonesian vice-president Jusuf Kala has said it loud and clear. 

Regarding the Lahad Datu intrusion, Jusuf said he believes former Philippines president Joseph Estrada, who is also an ally of Anwar, is involved.

He also said that a large Philippines-based company was providing Malaysia's opposition pact with monetary assistance.

“I know for a fact that there has been intervention by a particular group of people and Anwar’s friend Joseph Estrada is one of them and a Philippines company has also been providing them (Pakatan) with financial help over the Lahad Datu intrusion,” he said.

They have only one agenda, to weaken the Malaysian government, the trespassers want to portray a weak Malaysian government which has failed to handle the intrusion”  he added. - The Mole


The Philippines Government may want to get to the root of this latest information from Indonesia's ex-vice president. I don't think Jusuf Kala was joking. 

The Sulu intrusion where Malaysian security forces personnel were killed/murdered is no joke either. 

Both Kuala Lumpur and Manila must recognise the fact that the intrusion could have easily turned into a war had it not for the close relationship and understanding between the two nations.

Maybe the time is now ripe for both the Governments of Philippines and Malaysia to conduct joint investigations into what actually happened. Expose the culprits.

Manila could take the lead (as their nationals with alleged funding from a Philippines company) had actually waged war against Malaysia (against the Yang DiPertuan Agong as per their criminal charge sheet reads).

This is a very serious matter and Jusuf Kala's latest 'information' appears to be leading us to a bunch of traitors from both sides of the border.

I'm sure Kuala Lumpur will render her full cooperation should Manila initiate a Commission of Inquiry. 

If the suspects are hiding in Malaysia (even if they are our MPs), we must surrender them to the Philippines.

Let truth prevail.

Enticing the President?




 "I received a call from Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono informing me that he (Susilo) had received a call from the ‘Washington Police’ asking the president to accept Anwar’s invitation to a meeting,” Jusuf said, adding that he told Susilo not to bow to Washington’s demands and decline the invitation as Anwar is only an opposition leader and not the Prime Minister of the country. - Jusuf Kala

Well the US-messenger did meet the President of Indonesia recently but I was told that he brought along an irresistible offer from Uncle Sam.

It was not an order but an offer to entice the President.

I'm sure President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is a wise man, much wiser after Jusuf Kala's expose, to be excited with the messenger's wayang kulit.

Di Indonesia pun ada wayang kulit ya Pak Anwar


p/s I shall leave the 'offer' under wraps at the moment.

DAP, PKR and Pas MPs stepping down for Anwar?


Padang Merbok in Kuala Lumpur is where the #Blackout505 illegal political gathering took place on Saturday afternoon. Padang Merbok is a stone’s throw away from Tugu Negara, our National Monument for fallen heroes of Malaysia.

The National Monument is a sculpture that commemorates those who died in Malaysia's struggle for freedom, principally against the Japanese occupation during World War II and the Malayan Emergency, which lasted from 1948 until 1960. It is located in the Federal capital, Kuala Lumpur. The Malaysian Houses of Parliament is situated near the monument.
It is the world's tallest bronze freestanding sculpture grouping.[1] Every year on 31 July on Warriors' Day, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the Prime Minister and heads of military and the police pay their respects to the fallen heroes by laying garlands at the monument. - Wikipedia


The black political gathering of about 10,000 people (I think all of them were Malaysians ;-) near Tugu Negara was not in protest of the proposed development of a 'Theme Park" on a 26.3 hectare green lung adjacent/around Tugu Negara. It was a simply a black political gathering to massage the ego and arrogance of some Opposition politicians and their NGO buddies.

Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim should by now know and recognise the fact that his black gathering to topple the Government of Malaysia via street demonstrations and violent disobedience does not have the support of even his fellow Pakatan bed fellows.

I don't think many PKR members and supporters attended in the first place. 

The gathering demanding the resignation of the top Election Commission (SPR) leadership and its council members has failed. Anwar knows he has failed. 

He has now promised more gatherings because the gathering today was a total failure. Anwar, in one of his worst speeches I've witnessed, even tried blaming the lack of support at Padang Merbok to the prevailing haze from Indonesia.

Some of those at Padang Merdeka actually started walking away when Anwar started his ego-boosting antics on the microphone. Relating his recent conversation with the President of Indonesia and how he was badmouthing his country, he tried to cajole the crowd but people were leaving. It could have been due to the enveloping haze but is Anwar not the God sent leader for Pas, DAP, PKR and all progressive NGOs put together? Well, I leave it at that. 
In a nutshell Nurul Izzah outshined her desperate daddy with good showmanship and intonation. The contents were spiced up political rhetoric but she did better than her visibly desperate daddy. Even rabble rouse Adam Adli spoke better than the 66-year old sacked former Deputy Prime Minister.

By 6pm there were a maximum of 3,000 people at Padang Merbok and all dispersed peacefully except for a group of Badrul (they guy who ran from Rembau to someplace in Penang and still lost in the last GE...) followers who started camping on the field. Anwar and gang left Padang Merbok much earlier. 
Oh ya!... after boasting about his conversation with President Susilo Bambang, Anwar did deny that he was in Indonesia recently for a secret meeting with Prime Minister Najib who was also there on the same date. 

"I didn't meet Najib in Indonesia. No! No! No!," came in Sivaji the Boss style. 

We might never know if Anwar was finally telling the truth as it is or he purposely blurted the No trice in style to fuel further speculations. But generally not many were listening to him compared to those who had their eyes glued on Nurul Izzah when she was on stage.

Maybe the best Anwar could attempt now to restore his relevance is to persuade all 89 Pas, Dap and PKR representatives (including himself) to 'step down' or rather refrain from taking their oath as elected members of the Dewan Rakyat on Monday. 
That would be the litmus test for you at this point of time YB Anwar Ibrahim (Permatang Pauh), not flogging the almost dead horse called sympathy.

Even your own people appear tired, very tired of your cry baby antics.

Don't follow the losers

They cry out aloud for democracy and transparency but have conveniently shied away from their war cry in their own party. 

PAS whose president wields a little or lesser power is dictated by a spiritual leader who often mistook himself for the Prophets. 


The unelected spiritual leader is the actual leader, not the elected President. Democracy has to be redefined to accommodate Pas... maybe.

DAP on the other hand has democracy etched in its name but in actual practice, as being continuously exposed by its former members and leaders, democracy appears like a corpse in DAP backyard.

The father and son political tyranny in DAP is an open secret. What is not so secret any longer is the way the Lim dynasty chokes dissent in DAP, even while screaming for a CAT administration here and there. 

By right the much disputed Dec 2012 DAP CEC election, where vote rigging and manipulation is suspected and alleged, ought to be held again. 


By right, by democratic norms, the party should call for a re-election of the CEC which appoints top party leaders including the powerful secretary general.

DAP members claim 750-odd eligible delegates were barred/not allowed to vote during the disputed CEC elections. They have also claimed that more than 500 phantom delegates could have voted to elect the 20 DAP CEC members in Dec 2012.

They suspect the 'inclusion' of Zairil Khir Johari was a fraudulent act, an afterthought engineered to please/hoodwink the Malays in DAP and those at large with blind hatred against the Government.
                                                                                            DaddyAnakParty? 

So, why is the popular secretary general who happens to be party supreme commander's son reluctant to call for a re-election of the CEC? Is DAP not a democratic party whose top most leaders are appointed by TWENTY members?

If you are appointed by only TWENTY members whose very own election is in dispute, you should shut the F up and mind the democracy in your party.

You certainly don't have the moral or political right to point fingers at others, more so at your opponents, when democracy in your party is on the dead bed.

PKR is a party for ONE man, led by ONE man and his wife, with ONE single objective... to be the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Everything else about PKR is bullshit.

Democracy is just another slogan for the Opposition parties in Malaysia. Its very similar to their version of transparency, anti-corruption, cronyism, nepotism and such.

I just hope those in Barisan Nasional won't emulate Pas, DAP and PKR, especially when its about democracy within the party.

Hidup Malaysia!

Did Anwar Ibrahim tell the truth?

BERNAMA Interview with Hamid Awaludin
Hamid Awaludin was Indonesian minister of law and human rights from 2004-2007 when Jusuf Kallawas vice president, and was Indonesian ambassador to Russia and Belarus from 2008-2011.


1.
Anwar Ibrahim claims it was Jusuf Kallawho approached him whereas JusufKalla said he was approached by Anwar. Which is true?

Hamid Awaludin:

I was present during Jusuf Kalla’s discussions with both Anwar and Najib. It was Jusuf Kalla who accepted Anwar’s request to mediate. He did not take theinitiative and approach Anwar. Jusuf Kalla does not have any political and economic interests in Malaysia.He is busy with his affairs in Indonesia. So why wouldhe take the initiative and approach Anwar? It isn’t logical.

Jusuf Kalla considers both Anwar and Najib as good friends. He wanted to help because they were competing fiercely with one another. That is how hesaw this.  

2.
Anwar claims there were several "preconditions" in the agreement eg.free elections, fair media, etc. Can you outline any preconditions?

Hamid Awaludin:

I am very sure that there were no preconditions discussed between Jusuf Kalla and Anwar. For me, adeal is deal. And there was a deal that both parties – Anwar and Najib – agreed to.

Some people always try and find a loophole after the event, or an excuse not to deliver on their promise.Some people are different in character to others.


3.
Anwar now claims PM Najib didn't sign the agreement and it was therefore not valid. Jusuf Kalla says the PM did give his verbal agreement and therefore the deal was agreed by both parties, and was valid. Is Anwar correct or is JusufKalla?

Hamid Awaludin:

Anwar knew that Najib did not sign the agreement.Najib had very reasonable, political reasons for not signing the agreement and Anwar understood and accepted it.

But Najib gave his word that he would honour the agreement. He consented to the agreement. Basic morality teaches us that man’s word is more important than his signature. And deeds are more important than any declaration. Najib delivered on his promise. He called for national reconciliation during hiselection result acceptance speechNajib’s deeds matched his word.

4.
On Election Day, do you feel that the agreement was still in place? Had anything happened before Election Day to invalidate the agreement?

Hamid Awaludin:

I am very sure that nothing jeopardized the agreementin the run up to the election or on Election Day. The agreement still stood. Things changed after Najib was declared the winner. Even the day after Najib’s victory, I was personally optimistic that deal is deal, and both sides would abide by the dealBut Anwar broke the deal. Perhaps he was unable to manage his followers,especially because the DAP had won more seats thanAnwar’s own party. Anwar found himself in a difficultpositionBut a leader must lead, not be led.


5.
Do you and Jusuf Kalla feel Anwar broke the deal? If so, how?


Hamid Awaludin:

I feel that Anwar still does not accept political reality.Perhaps he has things he will not say because he doesn’t want to hurt people. I dont know.


6.
Do you feel Anwar was/is sincere in wanting national reconciliation in Malaysia?

Hamid Awaludin:

I believed that Anwar had sincerity and I still hope hehas.

7.
Why do you think Anwar is behaving in the manner in which he is – denying the agreement, refusing to cede defeat andorganising protests across Malaysia?

Hamid Awaludin:

From the beginning, Anwar convinced himself that he would win the election. He had struggled for so longand he thought that this was the end of the struggle. He thought he would win the battle and defeat BarisanNasionalHis belief was strengthened by opinion polls that were often in his favourAnd each rally Anwarheld during the campaign attracted massive crowds. But in the end, the people’s choice is the ultimatefactor in democracy.
Anwar believed he would win the election but he was afraid Najib would resist and not hand over power. So Anwar wanted insurance against this scenario. That is why he came up with the idea of the deal.
