Ada apa dengan 16hb September (2) – Puasa from politicking

Some political observers may say Ibrahim Ali is enjoying his time as Independent MP like no one else business. Why? He is the only lawmaker who decides on the words that come out from his mouth. Without fear from lashes from/of the whip, or scary stare from the opposition leader. He speaks his mind and he enjoys it.

Coming from Kelantan myself, I have some reservations on this so called Indie MP, however I do think that his performance so far this term deserves him a pat on the back. Only for the reasons that I’ve stated above, plus for his latest statement with regards to too much politicking in Malaysia since March 08.

No politicking during Ramadhan please: Indie MP

KOTA BARU: Independent MP Datuk Paduka Ibrahim Ali is calling for all politicians to reduce politicking during the holy month of Ramadan.

“There is a time for politicking and there is a time for respite. We are now observing Ramadan and we should cast aside politics for now and instead reflect upon the requirements of the month, besides carrying out penance and fasting,” the Pasir Mas MP said.

He said he was aghast at receiving all kinds of SMSes and telephone calls on various political manoeuvres.

“I am not siding with anybody but I feel that during Ramadan, we should stop scheming or trying to outwit political opponents,” Ibrahim told journalists here.

Some might argue that, history showed that Muslims did fight the war during holy Ramadhan, to defeat Islam’s enemy. Therefore, keen supporters will say, such ‘jihad’ (read: coup de etat) is justifiable and must proceed. Well this time I am going to side Ibrahim’s view that I think now Malaysians muslim spend much more time speculating, badmouthing on certain political figures and his/her supporters, spreading lies (read: fitnah), and making unfounded allegations, accusations on things that we understand the least.

It is unusual for me to agree with Ibrahim Ali, but this time, again, he spoke his mind, and it did make sense.

Academician: Govt By crossovers would make us laughing stocks

By Shira Habibu

ALOR STAR: Malaysia would be a laughing stock to the world if the government is toppled through crossovers, said an academician.

Universiti Utara Malaysia College of Law, Government and International Studies research and post-graduate dean Prof Dr Mohd Mustafa Ishak said such tactics to topple the government were unheard of in developed countries.

“Such episodes may occur in Third World countries that are still grappling with the democratic system.

“If it happens here we will definitely be a laughing stock, as we will be seen as having a Third World political mentality,” he said.

Malaysia must show the world that it is politically mature and that its MPs are people with integrity, he said in response to Permatang Pauh MP Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s claim that the Pakatan Rakyat coalition was on track to take control of the government by Sept 16.

Anwar should not resort to “backdoor” tactics to fulfil his ambition to be a Prime Minister, he said.

It would be a mockery to the democratic system if a handful of MPs are given the “power” to change the electorate’s mandate, he said.

“Which coalition should rule the country should be decided by the electorate, and not by a handful of MPs who cross over to make up numbers.

“The majority of the electorate gave the mandate to Barisan Nasional to rule the country in the recent general election,” he added.

If Anwar went ahead with his plans to stage a political coup, he would ruin the foundation of the country’s political system, Mohd Mustafa said.

“It would open the gateway to instability, as MPs can keep crossing over from one side to another at their whim and fancy or when given candy,” he said, adding that “people power” should prevail in a democratic system.

Akhir-akhir ini semangat demokrasi diperlekehkan, menukar kerajaan ini disangka seperti menukar baju sahaja. Tidak semudah itu, kita cuba bincang apa implikasi jika kerajaan ditukar tidak melalui pilihanraya yang sah.

1. Sudah tentu, pihak yang disabotaj (i.e BN) akan melancarkan ‘perang’ habis-habisan, tidak mungkin BN akan duduk diam melihatkan mandat yang diberikan rakyat diambil begitu sahaja.

2. Isu etika dan moral dalam berpolitik, tidak perlu saya jelaskan dengan lebih panjang. Apabila DSAI ditanya mengenai moral disebalik tindakan beliau yang bermati-matian ingin memancing MP BN melompat ke PKR, beliau mempertikaikan tatacara pilihanraya yang didakwanya SPR diperalatkan, undi hantu dsb. Betul atau tidak tuduhan-tuduhan tersebut, saya ingin tegaskan, two wrongs doesn’t make one right.

3. Wujud ketidakstabilan ekonomi, politik dan sosial atas dasar;

• PR masih belum bersatu sebagai sebuah pakatan yang sah. Dan masih belum lagi muncul dengan agenda-agenda yang dipersetujui bersama. Ambil contoh mudah PAS dan DAP, bagaimana mereka ingin bersetuju pada agenda pokok mereka, satu sekular, satu lagi negara hukum Islam.
• Kesan ketidakstabilan politik, menyebabkan kemerosotan FDI ke Malaysia. Untuk pengetahuan, saya mendapat maklumat beberapa pelabur Irish mengambil sikap tunggu dan lihat kerana bimbang dengan keadaan politik tidak menentu di Malaysia sekarang.
• Jika lompat parti diluar pilihanraya umum menjadi kebiasaan, saya fikir tidak perlulah M’sia amalkan demokrasi melalui pilihanraya setiap 3-4 tahun. Jika tidak suka, lompat sahaja dan tukar kerajaan. Adakah ini corak politik yang kita mahukan pada masa hadapan?
• Saya melihat permainan politik Malaysia sekarang penuh risiko, satu pihak mengeluarkan kenyataan perkauman, satu pihak lagi terus mengapi-apikan perkauman. Tiada saya ingin menuduh, hakikatnya amalan politik sekarang menuju politik tidak bertulangkan moral (agama) dan nasionalisme seperti dahulu.

4.Elok sekiranya kita bersetuju pada pendapat bahawa kita harus rasional dalam berpolitik. Tujuan politik adalah siasah iaitu urus tadbir. Tentunya jika tidak rasional, bagaimana mahu adil?

5. Atas alasan itu jugalah saya ingin menyatakan kekesalan terhadap sesetengah pihak yang obses serta taksub keterlaluan, bagi saya obsesi ada batasannaya.

7. Dalam wawancara Naib Presiden PAS, Muhammad Sabu dengan malaysiakini, beliau juga seperti tidak bersetuju dengan kemungkinan PR mengambil alih Kerajaan Persekutuan melalui pintu belakang.

“Saya tidak kisah pada mereka yang yakin (pada usaha Anwar), tetapi secara peribadi saya nampak tidak berapa kuat kerajaan kita (kerajaan PR).”

“Tidak kuat dan tidak wibawa. Sebab dulu kita pun tidak setuju dengan 2 ahli Semangat 46 yang melompat (kepada UMNO) di Kelantan.”

“Kita kata macam-macam kepada mereka (UMNO). Jadi macamana kita hendak tubuh kerajaan dengan orang melompat?”

8. Saya risau dengan perkembangan Malaysia yang kita sayangi. Negara berada dilandasan yang tepat untuk mencapai wawasan 2020. Jangan biarkan politikus-politikus yang tamak dan rakus menidakkan hak dan peluang golongang masa hadapan untuk menikmati Malaysia yang lebih baik.
