Ruling Coalition Urging to Have ELECTED BN Top Posts

Have election for Barisan top posts: Kayveas
By TEH ENG HOCK

KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional should have an internal election to pick the top office bearers, proposed PPP president Datuk M. Kayveas.

He said it would be good to have a chance to pick the coalition’s leadership, especially the top four posts - chairman, deputy chairman, secretary-general and treasurer.

“It is better to have an election for Barisan; we can nominate names.
If we agree Umno becomes chairman, then okay.
If MCA or other parties get the deputy chairmanship, it is also no problem."

“The positions of secretary-general and treasurer should also be contested by other parties. Maybe there are parties in Sabah and Sarawak who are rich and can become treasurer,” he said.

Kayveas was responding to
MCA Youth’s suggestion that the Barisan deputy chairmanship slot be expanded to two positions, with one of them held by MCA due to the party’s seniority and size in the coalition.

“Now there’s no election, so definitely the biggest party becomes chairman. There is nothing wrong with having a small election in Barisan,” he said.

He said the number of delegates for the Barisan election should be fairly distributed, with all component parties having an equal number.

He also said it was not fair to just allocate the second deputy chairman spot to MCA, as other parties should also have a chance to hold the post.

“If MCA has a new president, then he becomes the Barisan deputy chairman.
That is also not fair. There are presidents of component parties who have been there for more than 10 years and should be given a chance,” he said.

Kayveas said it was also time to have a Deputy Prime Minister who is a non-Malay, saying that Umno cannot run the country and form the Government on its own.

On Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s statement that Umno does not bully other Barisan component parties, he said there was a need to change the perception that Umno is a bully.

Muhyiddin Motion to Finish off PM

Muhyiddin moves to finish off PM

COMMENTARY
OCT 16 - Buoyed by the overwhelming lead he has secured for the deputypresidency after the first week of nominations from Umno divisions, Tan SriMuhyiddin Yassin has moved to land a fatal blow on Prime Minister Datuk SeriAbdullah Ahmad Badawi.Under the latest, and what many thought was the final version of thetransition plan, Abdullah announced that he would not stand for re-electionin Umno and hand over power when the party's annual congress officiallyelects its new leader in March.Following Abdullah's announcement, as planned, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, iscruising towards an uncontested win with no one else managing to secure anomination for the top post thus far. For many in Umno, it is already aforegone conclusion that Najib and Muhyiddin will be the next leadershippair of the party and government.But until now, there was also widespread acceptance for the postponement ofthe party congress from December to March in order to give Abdullah sometime to finish his promised reforms. It seems that even that is now underquestion.When met by reporters today, Muhyiddin said that the campaign period was toolong and that this would affect the official work of ministers and deputyministers aspiring for posts in the party.Reading between the lines of Muhyiddin's statement is a clear move to oustAbdullah earlier.Muhyiddin has been at the forefront of the campaign to get Abdullah toresign after the March general election which initially resulted in the 2010formula, and then when Muhyiddin felt that he could push it further, hesucceeded in orchestrating calls for an earlier handover which finally ledto the March 2009 agreement where Abdullah would step down as Prime Ministerafter the party congress.Now, Muhyiddin is at it again. Perhaps confident that he has no realchallenger for the deputy presidency considering his nearest rival, MalaccaChief Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Ali Rustam, is trailing far behind innomination numbers, Muhyiddin is now going for the kill by appealing to Umnomembers to exert pressure once again on the leadership to bring the date ofthe congress forward and hence get Abdullah out quicker.The move is calculated to give an advantage to the current frontrunners whoare all perceived to be aligned to the Najib-Muhyiddin ticket -vice-president aspirants Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and Datuk SeriShafie Apdal, and Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir who is leading the race for theYouth leadership.The quicker the congress, where delegates will elect those who make it pastthe nomination stage, the better the chances are for these frontrunners. Ifthe congress takes place in March 2009 as scheduled, sentiment can turnagainst those who have taken an early lead.However, the main point behind Muhyiddin's latest move is that it isdesigned to cut short Abdullah's extra time in office. It is possible thatthe latest round of political attacks on Najib has created a sense that thetransition must happen quicker before any more damage is done to theincoming premier.Many Najib supporters feel that he will be better able to handle theaccusations if he is already the Prime Minister and that March may be toofar away. For Muhyiddin, an earlier Abdullah exit will also see himappointed as Deputy Prime Minister quicker.Muhyiddin's latest statement comes a few days after a telling photograph waspublished in a leading Malay-language daily of him, Najib and former premierTun Dr Mahathir Mohamad sitting together at a Hari Raya open house.For political observers, the photograph spoke not just a thousand, but amillion words. Dr Mahathir wants nothing more than Abdullah being booted outof office sooner than later.It seems Muhyiddin is about to deliver that for the man who has come out invocal support for him as Najib's deputy.

慕尤定发动“倒拉”第三波攻击

10月18日 党讯精選
(转摘自《当今大马》 Malaysiakini ) : http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/91488

慕尤定发动“倒拉”第三波攻击
马哈迪策划阿都拉12月下台?
10月17日 傍晚7点46分

在10月初领头逼宫,施压首相阿都拉将2010年交棒计划提前至明年3月后,“倒拉”急先锋慕尤丁最近再次出手发动第三度逼宫,使到已经提前到明年3月底巫统权力转移计划似乎并未尘埃落定,还会有变。

相信慕尤丁的举动与近期纳吉频频遭受丑闻攻击,唯恐交棒计划有变;
同时也基于“纳慕配”及马哈迪幼子慕克里兹等亲马哈迪派系,正在党选提名中处于领先优势,先下手为强缩短竞选期,避免夜长梦多。

不过政坛传闻,马哈迪才是在幕后一手策划阿都拉提前下台的操盘手。

托词4个月竞选期打击工作
国际贸易与工业部长慕尤丁昨晚(16日)公开透露希望加快交棒的意愿。他在参加一项开幕活动时向媒体表示,巫统4个月的竞选期太漫长了,将会耗费候选人的精力,尤其是那些拥有官职的领导人。他解释说,“我这样说,因为其他许多人也拥有同样的担忧,怕引起金钱政治,同时空耗资源和精力。”
“一些角逐党职的候选人开始有担忧,因为这此是党选时段最久的一次。为了要配合交棒计划,我们出现了前所未有的4个月竞选期。”慕尤丁更直言,“一个月的竞选期已经足够了。”新加坡发动第一波“倒拉”行动慕尤丁是于9月10日选择在新加坡给阿都拉发出攻击的第一枪,认为2010年交棒计划,时间太长,而公开促请阿都拉考虑提早下台,好让其接班人有充裕的时间来筹备下届大选。由于国阵在308大选首次痛失三分二多数议席及5州政权,阿都拉为了缓和下台压力,不得不安抚其副手纳吉,并在今年7月宣布与副首相纳吉达致移交权力协议,将在2010年6月把巫统主席兼首相的位子交给纳吉接班。根据媒体的报道,阿都拉对于慕尤丁“背后插刀”的逼宫行为,感到十分震怒,因为其内阁成员竟然站出来反对先前已经同意的交棒计划,甚至计划革除其部长职,唯最后在纳吉的劝说下未有进一步的训诫行动,导致种下祸根。在交棒计划中一无所获的慕尤丁,逐步靠向马哈迪等“倒阿都拉”派系早有迹可寻。他曾经极力劝说在今年5月退党的马哈迪重返巫统,更一度被马哈迪凑合一早摆明要挑战巫统主席职的东姑拉沙里,组成一个梦幻团队,来联手对抗阿都拉及纳吉的配对。而这也是成为马哈迪要挟纳吉疏离阿都拉,甚至支持逼宫的利器。
第二波攻击:4最高理事联手摊牌随后慕尤丁更在9月底的
巫统特别最高理事会上,联合3名重要的最高理事成员联手向阿都拉摊牌,发到第二次的逼宫行动。这3人是巫青团长兼教育部长希山慕丁、妇女组主席兼前任贸工部长拉菲达,以及代表拥有最多巫统区部的沙巴州巫统联委会署理主席兼文物部长沙菲益。
随着这项逼宫行动,纳吉派系也加紧施压,导致首相阿都拉在10月8日举行的巫统最高理事会上,正式宣布放弃在明年3月巫统党选中蝉联主席职,届时也将卸下首相职,交由纳吉接棒。分析指出,阿都拉决定放弃蝉联的原因,在于避免与纳吉正面冲突角逐巫统主席职,进而导致巫统酝酿大分裂,让党外的敌人——安华和民联坐收渔翁之利。不过,在两次逼宫成功后,慕尤丁为何仍咄咄逼人,不能多等几个月呢?一种说法是避免交棒计划生变,夜长梦多,第二是要阻止阿都拉卸任前的三大改革计划,第三则是基于党选提名形势一片大好,缩短党选期避免对手翻盘逆转。纳吉遭弊案打击岌岌可危自从阿都拉宣布明年3月交棒予纳吉之后,纳吉立即遭受连串的丑闻攻击,包括《今日马来西亚》网站刊登指控他干预蒙古女郎炸尸案审讯的手机短讯内容,以及新近爆发的国防部欧洲直升机军购舞弊案疑云。而其政治宿敌国会反对党领袖安华(左图),更不断藉几项备受争议的决策,包括马电讯的113亿宽频合同、财政部的印尼国际银行收购案以及国防部欧洲直升机军购案,接连追击纳吉。这导致纳吉一周以来皆回避媒体及不肯出席国会面对在野党对质。
而已宣布要竞选巫统署理主席慕尤丁,一早摆明车马就是纳吉的“最佳老二”,要组成“纳慕配”。被亲阿都拉新闻网站《马来西亚内幕者》形容为纳吉代言人及忠心扮演攻击犬角色的慕尤丁,在目睹党内外政敌似乎正在联手围剿纳吉的形势后,自然不会保持沉默。因此他利用阿都拉已经成为跛脚鸭的形势,第三次出手,以伺机取消展延党选为由,施压阿都拉提前12月下台,旨是为了避免交棒计划夜长梦多,让煮熟的鸭子飞走了。政治分析家同意,另一个施压阿都拉提前下台的原因,不外是阻扰落实阿都拉卸任前要完成的三大制度性改革,即委任法官司法委员会、反贪委员会及特别投诉委员会。巫统派阀普遍认为国阵在308大选遭遇前所未有的挫败,主要是基于阿都拉过于开放所导致,迟迟不肯认同这些改革。更何况,目前被视为马哈迪属意人选的纳吉即将掌权,因此过去通过高压手段操控一切的“马哈迪主义”也有回潮的趋势,还何须改革放弃主导权?当然这也意味着阿都拉信誓旦旦卸任前要落实到改革计划势必落空。
党选情势大好杜绝翻盘此外,随着两次逼宫成功后,“纳慕配”已经成为党内主流共识。因此趁机缩短竞选期,让其他的竞争对手毫无无翻盘逆转的机会,可说是百利而无一害。纳吉的党主席提名至今毫无出现对手,东姑拉沙里仍未获任何区部的提名。而慕尤丁角逐署理主席也是大热门,最接近的对手即马六甲首席部长兼副主席莫哈末阿里(Mohd Ali Rustam)所获得的提名数目远远不如他。
另外,取消展延党选对“纳慕配”阵营有利,这包括在提名榜上领先的副主席竞争者,希山慕丁、沙菲益阿达(Shafie Apdal)以及纳吉的亲信阿末扎希,甚至包括压倒阿都拉女婿凯里的巫青团团长候选人,马哈迪幼子慕克里兹(Mukhriz Mahathir)。三人合照“一图胜千言”有趣的是,就在慕尤丁呛声前不久,马来报章就大篇幅刊登他、纳吉及马哈迪在一场开斋节门户开放活动中,并肩而坐的照片。政治观察家认为,这张照片可谓“一图胜千言”,吐露出重要讯息即马哈迪就第三次逼宫行动的幕后操盘手。

MCA Youth Wants Swift Action Against Racist Political Leaders
October 17, 2008 17:50 PM

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 17 (Bernama) -- MCA Youth wants the government to initiate firm and swift action against political leaders who do not respect the ethnic rights of all Malaysians.The wing in its resolutions passed at the MCA Youth 45th general assembly at the party headquarters here Friday also condemned the actions of certain Umno leaders who had issued statements which were racist in nature as well as "extremist" government officers who curtailed the freedom of holding ethnic cultural and entertainment activities."Their actions disrupts race relations in the country, which has various races, religions and cultures. The MCA Youth calls on the authorities to take stern action against these extremists who disrupt the nation's harmony," the wing said in its resolution.In another resolution calling for the promotion of greater freedom, the Youth Wing urged the government to review the Internal Security Act (ISA) and Printing and Printing Presses Act as these two Acts gave powers to the police to detain anyone without trial and limited freedom of speech.The Youth wing also wanted the government to establish a systematic mechanism that would lessen bureaucratic red tape while disciplining civil servants in a bid to curb the menace of corruption as an effort to strengthen the nation's competitive capabilities and integrity.On the economy, the Youth Wing called on the Finance Ministry and Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) to execute an economic action plan to overcome the global economic crisis to boost confidence of local as well as foreign investors in the nation's economy."In view of the world economic status, all current economic plans must be reviewed and plans which are not business friendly must be disbanded."We have to relax regulations on equity ownership, identify weaknesses and eradicate unfairness. Efforts must also be undertaken to do away the Industrial Coordination Act (ICA) 1975 to allow Malaysia to be competitive in the international market," the Youth wing said.In an effort to protect Small-and-Medium Entreprises and encourage the spirit of entrepeneurship amongst low-wage earners, the MCA Youth called on the government to introduce a low-interest, micro-credit loan scheme for businesses which had a good track record on loan repayment.Touching on education, the Youth called on the government to institute a mechanism to develop Chinese-type national schools (SJK (C)) systematically and to ensure that all primary schools regardless of status receive equal assistance and budgets.To establish greater equality among all education institutions, it also asked for Chinese private schools be acknowledged as part of the national education system and be given funding to develop human capital in line with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's vision."We also call on the government to be fair and transparent in selection of students for JPA scholarships. This is to further encourage excellent students to contribute to the nation's human capital," the MCA Youth added.At party level, the wing suggested for an amendment of the party constitution to allow the Youth Wing elected representatives to vote in the picking of national leaders besides allowing the Youth wing to have a say in the party's decision making process.The Youth wing also wanted its constitution amended to reduce the eligibility age for Youth members from the current 45 years to 40 years.

阿末依斯迈成为马青辩论箭靶
霹代表建议用内安令扣留凯里
李伟伦与郭史光庆 10月17日 傍晚5点19分

虽然没有上届大会般激烈火辣,但是今年的马青大会辩论环节还是不放过巫统领袖,尤其是升旗山区部主席阿末依斯迈与巫青团副团长凯里,甚至要求政府援引内安法令逮捕凯里这种“政治败类”。

不仅如此,由代表们一致通过的第六项提案,其案由也点名上述两人,吁请“有关当局采取措施,以杜绝这类极端或投机政客的破坏性行为”。

今午2点半开始进行的代表辩论环节,虽然今年的大会出席率高达89%,但是在投票后留下聆听辩论的代表却不及一半,放眼望去偌大的三春礼堂空荡荡,气氛也显得冷清。
不过,数名代表参与辩论时依然措辞强烈抨击巫统、阿末依斯迈与凯里。
霹雳州代表陈大富就认为,政府不应使用内安法令逮捕平民百姓,就算真要出动内安法令,也应以此法逮捕凯里等“政治败类”。

“让凯里在党选输到脱裤”
他表示,首相阿都拉在凯里发表种族输赢论后,并没采取及时的惩治行动,以致后来才会发生阿末依斯迈的“华人寄居论”风波。

“若要引用内安法令来抓人,就应用来逮捕者几个领袖。内安法令不是用来对付平民百姓,而是政治败类!”他也说,马华应改变角色,不应每次都充当“消防员”,为巫统领袖的所作所为“灭火”;反之,应担任“正义之士”,为民请命。

“我希望那些极端的巫统领袖,如凯里等,在党选输到‘脱裤’!”

寄居论调查结果去了哪里?
柔佛代表陈世泰也大谈“寄居论”风波,将矛头进一步指向警方与总检察署,不满两个机构从今年8月至今都无法完成阿末依斯迈涉嫌触犯煽动法令的调查工作。

“你们看到阿末依斯迈的报告吗?总检察署有采取行动吗?”

促以内安令捉甲州毁猪黑手
马六甲代表赖亿昌在一上台即表明本身是来自马六甲的“重炮手”,“看到不爽就要shoot(炮轰)”。
他说,不管是马华和巫统都需要为308政治大海啸负上责任,“巫统领袖不断发表极端言论,就以凯里为例,虽然他发表了极端言论但却没有受到任何对付。
在所有人都指责凯里的时候,他却誓不低头,这是因为他拥有很强的后台!”

他也重提巫青团长希山慕丁高举马来剑和高呼“马来人万岁”,以及一些巫统领袖指大马是回教国等课题,都造成华裔族群的深深不满。

“还有许多州政府的行政偏差,雪州政府在屠妖节前夕拆印度庙,州务大臣送扫把给公共机构,马六甲政府还有毁猪事件。”
赖亿昌这时提高声调说,甲州毁猪事件的幕后黑手肯定是该州政府,“要用内安法令抓人就是要抓这种人!”

他也抨击内政部长赛哈密没凭没据便以内安法令逮捕平民,而且后来的解释又前言不对后语,这种做法迟早把马华“带去荷兰”。

提案点名凯里呼吁当局对付
今午通过的第六项提案也针对凯里和阿末依斯迈,其案由是“继巫青团副总团长凯里在国会针对奖学金课题发表违反内阁决定的“非土著侵蚀土著特权”言论后,巫统升旗山区部主席阿末依斯迈又发表“华人寄居论”,令社会对这类危言耸听的极端言论感到厌恶”。

提案内容则是“严厉谴责思想狭隘的政治人物,表现出不尊重国家宪法所赋予各族人民权益的言行举止,破坏马来西亚多元民族、文化及宗教的社会特色,并吁请有关当局采取措施,以杜绝这类极端或投机政客的破坏性行为”。

第五项提案则强烈要求政府全面检讨不合时宜的内安法令及1984年印刷与出版法令,以避免该法令被滥用及推展更宽阔的言论自由空间。

颜炳寿:只能对付极端分子
尽管一些代表提出应以内安法令对付巫统极端领袖,惟卸任马青法律局主任颜炳寿在总结辩论时指出,马青的立场是只能用内安法令,来对付武装和宗教极端份子。

这名转换跑道竞选马华中委的柔佛州领袖表示,内安法令是一项预防性的法令,可供当局免却审讯过程,直接扣捕任何怀疑犯罪者。

“内安法令的扣留者中,三分之二是涉及宗教暴乱份子和武装份子。因此,我们反对以内安法令扣捕一般人。”

马华代表无法传达基层声音
在批判盟友巫统之余,一些马青代表也不缺自省能力,毫不客气批判马华党内的弱点。对于辩论环节的低出席率,年仅29岁的吉打代表陈志雄情绪激昂地解读为马青团员没有“参政感”,因为马青领袖无法将该臂膀的声音带入政府,导致团员对辩论缺乏兴趣。

“我们有代表我们的市议员、州议员、国会议员、部长,但是什么法律草案都好,我们都要等到明天早上看报纸才知道,我们从来不能把所建议的东西带入州议会、行政议会、国会与内阁。”

“人家巫青大会的出席者为什么那么多?因为巫青团在辩论后可能明天就会影响国家政策,而我们辩了一整天,辩了什么东西?我们提交方案那么多年,每个州、区、支团都提交,但是我们却没办法影响国家政策,这就是我们的悲哀。”

三春礼堂设神祖牌给幽灵党员
他也批判马华党内的幽灵选民,讽刺说不如在三春礼堂设立“神祖牌”给这些幽灵选民。

他以本身参与超过10年的亚罗士打为例,“我从18对入党到现在29岁,都没有看到700个不一样的人,但是我们却有7000个党员,我们的州议席却输掉了,州政权也失去了!”

他呼吁马华重新登记党员,清除所有的幽灵选民,这项建议获得代表们热烈鼓掌支持。

“骗话专家”安华变出大头佛
为国阵第二大成员党的青年团,当然少不了向反对党开炮。

针对国会反对党领袖安华提出的变天大计,陈大富就抨击是一名“骗话专家”经常囔着要变天,最后变天不成却变出一个“大头佛”。

“民联提出的种种承诺也没实现,民联执政的州属无法把地方选票还予人民,反而还提升县市议员的津贴,这不是给民联党员的糖果吗?”

他促请人民看清民联的真面目,“变天确实很快实现,但却是霹雳州政权变天”。

批国阵台湾考察在配合变天
雪兰莪州代表张盛闻同样批评安华的变天大计。

他讥刺安华与公正党宣传主任蔡添强,一再高呼大马政权将变天,酿成一个国际笑话。

“国际媒体不断跟进变天的新闻,结果安华与蔡添强也每天玩弄这个课题,玩到不亦乐乎。
如今916、925和开斋节都无法变天,蔡添强却说哈芝节将成事,我想问他是牛年或马年的哈芝节?”

无论如何,张盛闻也批评国阵后座议员俱乐部,在9月16日前夕的敏感时刻,大阵仗地领队去台湾,无疑是在“配合”安华演出一场政治大戏。

“结果国内外都在讥笑我们,说我们在配合民联要变天。”

NEW Petrol Price for Tomorrow ~ [the 3rd PARTY]

[ the 3rd PARTY ] blogger, JP, had a day dream today about oil price drop in blogging about this :

New Petrol Price for Tomorrow
by { JP }


This could be what I see tomorrow when I pump "gold water" into my car in a petrol station :


The currrent world crude oil price for this month is below US$78 per barrel now ! - updated oil price 10/10/08 5:15pm

Remember we are having the price hike from RM1-92/litre up to RM2-70/litre when the world crude oil price for that time was about US$120 per barrel;
while the world crude oil price drop tremendously, what about our country's stated policy (to review and revise petrol price in monthly basis) in responding to this ?


Pretending "don't know ah? "

"Drop ... drop .... it will drop ... can you be patient until I announce it (sound familliar ?) "
(Everybody start cheering ... YEH ..!!) wait, see

"drop RM0-10 for RON97(again) "

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While Malaysiakini reported that the parliament meeting held on tomorrow will be "spark enough" as Anwar is having his last motion to succeed his "take-over" plan.
(Check out Malaysiakini - Mandarin version for more news) We are wondering whether this dropping of petrol price will be announced by our new Finance Minister (yet tobe the new PM or new Opposition Leader) or the current Opposition Leader - Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Gerakan Will Not Join Opposition
Even If It Pulls Out Of BN, Says Selangor Chief

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 12 (Bernama) -- Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia will "in no way" join the opposition even if it pulls out of the Barisan Nasional (BN), Selangor Gerakan chief and Central Committee Member A. Kohilan Pillay said Sunday.

He said Gerakan was looking at all possibilities, including becoming an independent entity, but stressed that the party would not join the Pakatan Rakyat.

Whatever decision the party leadership made, it must be acceptable to the grassroots in unison, he said.

"This matter concerns our status and future and it would be dealt with in depth. We don't want to become another SAPP (Sabah Progressive Party) or MDP (Malaysian Democratic Party, a splinter of the DAP), where a crucial decision had caused a split in the party," he told reporters on the sidelines of the Gerakan national delegates conference, here.

After suffering a massive defeat in the March 8 general election, Gerakan saw many of its members quit or defect to the opposition, and this put tremendous pressure on the leadership to take drastic action for the betterment of the party.

Kohilan Pillay said the issue would not hamper the party's efforts at revitalisation.

"Those who quit were disappointed as they could not fulfill their personal agenda in the party. But now the ground sentiment on Gerakan is improving and I believe we are doing the right thing and heading in the right direction," he said.

Gerakan has often been called the ‘conscience of Barisan Nasional’ and as its 21st national delegates conference draws to a close, the party appears to be finding its own conscience.

Several delegates told Malaysiakini that during the closed door debates had been a weekend of introspection as the party wades through uncharted waters.
