Pengundi Islam perlu tetap bersatu
2011/04/28
KEPUTUSAN Pilihan Raya negeri Sarawak Ke-10 pada 16 April lalu harus diberi perhatian dan renungan realistik oleh orang Melayu dan Islam di negara ini untuk menghadapi Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13 tidak lama lagi.
Daripada 71 kerusi yang dipertandingkan itu, Barisan Nasional (BN) memenangi 55 kerusi dan pembangkang (DAP, PKR dan PAS) memenangi (termasuk Bebas) 16 kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Sarawak. Daripada jumlah 55 kerusi yang dimenangi BN, ADUN Melayu/Islam memperoleh 24 kawasan. Ini bererti 42 peratus ADUN Melayu/Islam dalam sebuah negeri pelbagai kaum dan agama. Baru-baru ini lapan ADUN baru itu mengangkat sumpah pegang jawatan Kabinet baru. Daripada jumlah itu, tiga ADUN Melayu/Islam dan lima ADUN bukan Islam menjadi menteri. Dicampur dengan Ketua Menteri, Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, jumlah anggota Kabinet Sarawak kini ialah empat orang Islam/Melayu dan lima bukan Muslim.
Apakah pengajaran yang patut orang Melayu/Islam belajar daripada keputusan di Sarawak itu ketika menghadapi pilihan raya umum tidak lama lagi? Jika ditinjau trend pengundi bandar di Sarawak, ia mungkin lebih kuat lagi di Semenanjung.
Kini daripada 212 kerusi Parlimen, BN memerintah dengan kekuatan ahli Parlimen dari Sabah dan Sarawak. Justeru, marilah kita, orang Melayu/Islam dan Bumiputera belajar daripada keputusan pilihan raya Sarawak itu.
Kita Bumiputera dan Melayu/Islam harus bersatu mengundi dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13 kelak. Jika pengundi Melayu/Islam (Bumiputera) berpecah kepada pelbagai parti politik atas perbezaan ideologi, akibat buruk akan menimpa kita.
Perjuangan sesebuah parti ialah untuk bangsa, negara dan agama. Buatlah kajian antara BN dan pembangkang, iaitu PKR, DAP dan PAS yang bergabung dengan secara longgar (belum daftar).
Bolehkah kita harap mereka menjaga kepentingan Islam/Melayu lebih baik daripada BN sekarang.
Semoga perkara ini kita renungi bersama. Kita jangan lupa jasa UMNO kepada bangsa dan negara selama ini.
SAM,
Kuala Lumpur.

If the opposition is not capable of winning the elections, then that is their failure. If the voters are confused with what I say, then the opposition has failed to do a good job. And if what I say and a simple TV3 interview can cause the opposition to lose the election, then this means the opposition is so weak it does not deserve to win.

He has forwarded your message about my ‘serious loss of credibility’.

I was hoping you would be responding to it through this e-mail. A lot of people have been asking me if you have done a U-turn and I cannot answer them. Not even after the reports of your "clearing the air".
The people who used to support you are confused. And they don't seem convinced by your explanations. Some of them are really saddened by it all.

I don't want to get into a semantic argument over this. It is what people who followed you have said to me. They feel let down. They think you have done Najib and Rosmah a favour. And what you said helped the BN cause, especially the negative things about Anwar. One just SMSed me to say he's lost confidence in you. I can't convince them otherwise. I don't know how you can win them back.

I'm not going to bother to 'win anyone back'. I am not trying to win a popularity contest. I am not running for office or contesting the elections. If they are unhappy with me that’s their problem, not mine.
What, these people are paying for my food or what? I'm employed by them that I must take orders from them or what? No one owns me. I do what I want. They don't like it, tough.
Do I sound arrogant? I hope so. Arrogance is my middle name. Kamunting can tell you that. Sungai Buloh Prison can tell you that. Bukit Aman can tell you that. They hate my guts and that makes my day.

Yeah, but your voice is needed to bring about the change at the next GE. And they need to believe you when they hear you. They need you to provide leadership in opinion. They're feeling lost now.

I thought that this was a job for the political parties. My job is to tell the truth. It’s the political parties who have to win the elections, not me.
The opposition does not need and does not desire 'my voice’, as you have put it. They just need me to help them win the elections, by hook or by crook.
That is not my job. If the opposition is not capable of winning the elections, then that is their failure. If the voters are confused with what I say, then the opposition has failed to do a good job. And if what I say and a simple TV3 interview can cause the opposition to lose the election, then this means the opposition is so weak it does not deserve to win.

S’wak to get RM5bil for rural development
ASAJAYA: The Government has allocated RM5bil for development projects in Sarawak under the Rural Basic Infrastructure (RBI) NKRA, said Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal. He said most of the projects involved the supply of electricity, water and construction of roads as part of the Government's effort to improve the quality of life of the people in the state. Shafie said that the Government had never marginalised rural folks, pointing out that the development projects are mostly located in rural areas. He added that the Government had also provided an allocation of RM13,500 per hectare of land for those interested in the rubber and oil palm replanting project. Shafie said this during the launch of the Rural Areas Electricity Supply project in Kampung Rangwan, Sadong Jaya on April 8, which was part of the GTP's RBI NKRA. Two hundred and seventy-eight houses in the village received electricity as part of the project.
