KETUA PEMUDA TAMPIN HEBAT & GERAKAN SELAMATKAN MALAYSIA

Saya SILAP.

Semalam saya menulis mengatakan Pemuda Umno termasuk Ketuanya Khairy Jamaluddin tergolong di dalam golongan PENGECUT yang dimaksudkan oleh bekas Naib Presiden Umno Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.

Terlupa kita kepada Pemuda Umno Tampin dan Ketua Pemudanya Ridzuan Ahmad. Ternyata beliau bukan PENGECUT. Terima kasih kepada yang menghantar SMS mengingatkan akan KEPAHLAWANAN Ketua Pemuda Tampin.

Ridzuan dan Pemuda Tampin pada Ogos, 2015, meluluskan SEBULAT SUARA usul meminta Najib Razak MELETAKKAN JAWATAN SEBAGAI PRESIDEN UMNO dan Perdana Menteri.

Tahniah kepada Ridzuan di atas keprihatinan Pemuda Tampin kepada masalah negara.

Semalam, blogger terkenal, Abdul Kadir Jasin, menyarankan agar semua parti politik di Malaysia - Umno, Pas, DAP, PKR, Amanah -  memulakan satu GERAKAN MENYELAMATKAN MALAYSIA dari kehancuran.

Jangan harapkan kepada Dr Mahathir Mohamad seorang, kata Kadir.

Kadir mengkritik beberapa pemimpin Umno yang saban hari menyumpah Dr Mahathir dan mengharapkan beliau cepat MATI.

Mereka ini LUPA, kata Kadir, bahawa mereka berada di jawatan sekarang kerana Dr Mahathir.

Tak dapat dibayangkan sekiranya kesemua parti ini SEPAKAT untuk meminta Najib meletakkan jawatan.

Bayangkan satu perhimpunan besar-besaran diadakan di Stadium Bukit Jalil dan kehadirannya terdiri dari:

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Tun Daim Zainuddin, Tun Ling Liong Sik, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, Tan Sri Sanusi Junid, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz,  Tan Sri Zainuddin Maidin, Dato' Seri Shafie Apdal, Tan Sri Ong Tee Keat, Tan Sri Kadir Sheikh Fadzir, Dato' Zaid Ibrahim, Dato' Ibrahim Ali, Dato' Seri Mukhriz Mahathir, Dato' Dr Affifuddin Omar, Dato' Hamidah Osman, Dato' Saifuddin Abdullah, Dato' Khairuddin Abu Hassan, dan beberapa pemimpin lagi termasuk bekas kakitangan awam seperti KSU, SPRM dan polis. 

Dan mungkin juga beberapa Menteri Kabinet dan Menteri Besar dapat turut serta demi AGAMA, BANGSA dan NEGARA terutamanya Menteri-Menteri yang sudah berusia seperti Mustapa Mohamed.

Tok Pa perlu ingat, negara ini akan diwarisi oleh generasi akan datang.

Adakah Tok Pa, dalam usia yang tinggal tidak berapa hari saja lagi, sanggup melihat Malaysia yang ditadbirnya hari ini diserahkan kepada anak cucunya di dalam keadaan TENAT seperti sekarang?

Ingatlah, negara ini bukan hak individu tertentu. Ia adalah hak rakyat dan akan diwarisi oleh generasi akan datang.

PANDANGAN ZAID IBRAHIM MENGENAI POLITIK PENGAJAR UITM

PANDANGAN ZAID IBRAHIM MENGENAI PENGAJAR UiTM 

UiTM, what has become of U?

UiTM has been in the spotlight lately. Firstly, it organised a seminar at which participants were in full throttle telling Christians that their religion was “false”.

And then, at the Teluk Intan by-election, a former Vice-Chancellor and various alumni campaigned all-out to make sure the “Malay traitor” Dyana Sofea Mohd Daud would not succeed.

Dyana was depicted as someone who allowed herself to be “used” by the DAP and as having betrayed her race for suggesting, amongst other things, that UiTM be open to other races.

Equally repugnant to UiTM was Dyana’s refusal to support the Hudud Plan in Parliament. The full blast against Dyana lasted for 12 days. I do not know what effect these personal attacks and insults have had on a candidate as young as Dyana, but when the same was done to me, it certainly took its toll on my family and loved ones.

I just hope young aspiring politicians will now know what to expect if they do not share the views of the “defenders of the Malay race”.

I have a soft spot for UiTM for obvious reasons. I am an ordinary alumnus and not one of the successful luminaries who descended on Teluk Intan recently.
In my view, UiTM has lately become very political—their lecturers and administrators have been actively making political statements instead of confining themselves to educational matters.

They’ve had a lot of publicity as a result. Perhaps they think this enhances their profiles and makes them suitable for promotion and contract extensions because they are “champions of the Malays”, but they are actually doing a disservice to academia generally.

These lecturers and administrators—if they are truly professional educators—should concern themselves with helping Bumiputera become world-class professionals as mandated by the original promoters of MARA, and not just in terms of numbers but in quality as well.

UiTM graduates should be able to participate competitively in business and the professional world of post-Independence Malaysia. But, as we have seen, these lecturers and administrators have other things in mind.

To me, they shouldn’t make fools of themselves by airing their political views. It was unnecessary for the former Vice-Chancellor and the alumni to gang up on Dyana just because of her political beliefs.

On reflection, while the savage attacks might have caused pain to Dyana and her family, it must also have hurt UiTM as an academic institution, even though the “champions” might not have thought so.

When I was a young student at ITM (as it then was), the Director, Dato’ Arshad Ayub, reminded me and my fellow students that we were fortunate to be given the chance to study and that we should not let that opportunity slip away.

We were told that Bumiputera from the villages must have good qualifications and skills if they were to be useful citizens. I was thankful for the chance.
As a kampung boy from a poor farming family, I was eternally grateful to ITM for the chance to do an external LLB course because I did not have the brains or the station in life (like Khairy Jamaluddin) to be accepted at Oxford or Cambridge.

There was no law faculty in the country then. In those days, Dato’ Arshad and the lecturers did not try to indoctrinate or brainwash us about the so-called “threats” to our existence. All they demanded was that we studied hard and made ourselves useful to our families and communities.

We were never told that the Chinese (i.e. the DAP) were out to take over the country or that Christians were converting Muslims en masse.

None of us were described as “traitors” for our liberal views. As a student leader, I was already advocating freedom of expression and the Rule of Law, and for the Government to do more to help the poor.

We had a robust campus life and many of us spent hours in the Library, which was then the best in the country. It was full of books and journals and they were mostly in English. I am not sure though how much time Dato’ Ibrahim Ali and other defenders of the race spent in the Library.

The amount of racial indoctrination in UiTM at present has gone too far. Putting politics at the forefront of everything else compromises academic excellence, and fanning fear of a legitimate political party like the DAP makes no sense at all.

Members of the DAP are generally ordinary businessmen, Chinese schoolteachers, rubber dealers, pork sellers, shopkeepers, factory owners and shop-lot operators.

They generally do not belong to the elite—and it’s the elite that has the power to deprive ordinary Malays of their economic rights and political power. DAP members do not exert political influence on the elite. They do not receive privatisation projects or huge tracts of land for housing development from state governments at low prices.

They aren’t close to the Istana nor do they have timber and highway concessions. They aren’t independent power producers like YTL and Genting. Indeed, those Chinese who usually get these prized assets are not DAP members, so what can ordinary DAP members do to pose a threat to the Malays?

Is the DAP a threat because of its ideology? How bad is this ideology? It can’t be worse than Communism, and even the Prime Minister is fostering closer relations with the biggest communist government in the world—recently, we even celebrated 40 years of close ties between the two countries.

Perhaps we can celebrate this every year since so many Chinese are buying property in Johor. And the DAP is worse than Communism? Impossible.
Well, some Malays tell me that they are opposed to the party’s “Malaysian Malaysia” slogan. According to them, the slogan shows the DAP is anti-Malay.
How can this slogan be threatening? It’s the DAP’s way of saying that all citizens are equal before the law, which is the correct position to have in any country in the world…except Malaysia, apparently.

Anyway, even if the DAP has skewed views about politics, that’s its right as a political party in a free country. Besides, the Chinese in the MCA are also Chinese, in case the defenders of the Malay race have forgotten.

Chinese in the DAP are no different from Chinese in the MCA. They all look alike. The only difference is this: Chinese in the MCA are willing to let UMNO rule forever as long as they get some seats in the Cabinet, or are given some port and highway concessions from time to time.

The DAP, on the other hand, is willing to give Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim the chance to become Prime Minister as long as the DAP too gets some seats in the Cabinet.

So those in UiTM should not get all worked up and let its students become confused because of petty politics—but perhaps these administrators and lecturers are UMNO representatives themselves.

If this is the case, they are the real traitors to the Malays because they are supposed to teach Malays to be educated and skilled. They are supposed to teach Malays how to think and become positive contributors to the nation, and not waste time with political indoctrination.

I urge UiTM to stay focused on teaching and helping students to develop their talents and faculties to the maximum so that they can contribute to the community.

Students and alumni need to be aware of social and economic issues, of course, but politics is toxic to the brain. Tell them instead to study harder and take an interest in issues like corruption in high places, poverty as well as drug addiction amongst Malay youths—in fact, there are so many pressing issues they can interest themselves in.

They should focus their attention on rising crime in cities and give ideas to the Police on how these crimes can be curbed. They must ask why, in our country, there is a divorce every 10 minutes—and it will be fruitful if they can help the authorities understand why family life amongst Malays seems to be so brittle.

Would it not be better if UiTM became a positive force for the betterment of its students and of society, instead of being involved in cheap politics?
Attending to serious socio-economic issues is a lot harder than parading oneself as a defender of the race, but that’s what serious academics do if they really want to be true heroes.

Jelapang: Apa pandangan anda?

ZAID: HIDUP BERMEWAH: NAJIB HANYA TURUTI JEJAK MAHATHIR & PAK LAH

Di dalam tulisan bekas Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Zaid Ibrahim, beliau meramalkan Najib Razak tidak akan digugat dan akan kekal sebagai Perdana Menteri.

Zaid berpendapat apa yang Najib lakukan tidak ada beza dengan apa yang dilakukan oleh Dr Mahathir Mohamad dan Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.  

Jelapang tak sempat menterjemah tulisan Zaid. Tetapi antara perkara yang dibangkitkan oleh Zaid ialah:.

1. Najib dituduh bermewah dengan jet peribadi tetapi sebenarnya Dr Mahathir dan Pak Lah juga melakukan perkara yang sama. Najib hanya menuruti trend kedua-dua Perdana Menteri sebelum beliau.

2. Terdapat 50,000 graduan menggangur di era Najib. Tetapi masalah pengangguran di Malaysia berlaku sejak tahun 1995 di era Dr Mahathir.

Berikut artikel penuh Zaid:

If Najib Goes, Who Takes Over?

We shouldn’t take Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s supporters seriously when they say Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Najib Tun Razak should step down. Their reasoning is weak, even contrived at best.

They say Najib has failed because the prices of goods and services have gone up, but we can expect this to happen when subsidies are cut. And subsidies have to be cut to reduce the deficit in the country’s accounts, which in turn has come from the Government spending more than it received in revenue. This is a cumulative effect of many years of unsound economic management, and Najib is not solely to blame for this.

The former Prime Minister’s fan club members also point to the more than 50,000 unemployed graduates in Malaysia as proof of Najib’s failure, but we have had this many (or more) unemployed or unemployable graduates since 1995. This is thanks to our insistence on wanting more Malays in the universities, regardless of the circumstances. We have given our schoolchildren innumerable A’s to please parents, but these students had to end up in universities somewhere. UMNO likes to build universities all over the country and they can’t be left vacant. This is not Najib’s fault either.

Dr M’s supporters also castigate Najib for traveling in private jets. This penchant for luxury living has been the lifestyle of all our Prime Ministers, except for the first three. Since then our PMs have all lived in style, going on holidays in private jets and sailing the high seas in their yachts (which they always claimed to belong to their friends). Najib is just following the trend, even if he has perhaps taken the matter of style a notch or two up. Still, it’s not sufficient grounds to remove him.

They also ask Najib to change, but this is an unrealistic and meaningless demand. What change can Najib possibly try to implement without upsetting UMNO? Would UMNO be happy if Najib were to remove the tolls, scrap APs and reduce cars prices? The same people asking for Najib’s removal would cry blue murder, and they would still demand his removal, this time for betraying the Malay race. Would they be happy if he woke up one morning and declared that the rule of law will be the order of the day? That the Official Secrets Act will be removed (except for matters of military and police intelligence)? That the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission will have the power to prosecute the corrupt without needing to get the blessing of the Attorney-General? These same critics would not be happy.

Finally, they say Najib should step down or run the risk of the Barisan Nasional losing the next General Election. This is again a remote possibility. BR1M3 is coming soon and Najib will be sure to have more of that before the next GE. His popularity will be restored. The wisdom of the saying “Melayu mudah lupa” (The Malays forget easily) is not lost on our PM. Furthermore, the delineation exercise will somehow protect the present majority in Parliament and Najib will again win at the polls.

Those who want Najib to step down do not tell us who they want to succeed him. Some have touted the idea of a Ruling Council, presumably headed by Dr M. That would be ridiculous! Just because crazy Thai demonstrators are asking for the People’s Council to replace an elected PM does not mean we should follow their lead. If Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi were to succeed Najib, do you really think we will be better off? Only if you want half the country to wear military uniforms, patrolling and monitoring the other half with armed weapons. It’s not enough for him that we have 300,000 Rela members – now he wants Syariah enforcement militias as well.

I hope the Prime Minister will not be distracted by those who are simply envious of him.  He is doing fine. But he has to make sure that whoever succeeds him will not be a nut case. This successor may be corrupt, he may enjoy the good life and have a strong liking for London and New York – that’s fine. As long as Najib’s successor (say in 10 years) is not someone in the mould of Bashir Al-Assad, we will be grateful. Do not spill blood – that much we ask for and expect from our leaders.

Some people want power all the time and they feel lost when they are no longer calling the shots. Some want power so they can enjoy the kind of grand lifestyle that the present PM has. In the end, the rakyat remain the same. They will count their blessings if the PM continues giving out cash handouts at regular intervals, and all will be forgiven! -
