In the aftermath of the 12th general election with the worst Barisan Nasional showing in history, the incumbent Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has been asked publicly to accept responsibility and step down. None is more strident than the person who put him in office, the ex-prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Although Abdullah has indicated that he will make way for his deputy in due course, this does not satisfy Mahathir who demands that he step down immediately. Joining in the chorus are those aligned to Mahathir, some of whom probably have dreams of advancing their own political ambitions.
What is this urgency to forced Abdullah to resign now instead of letting him choose his time to exit gracefully? The reason advanced by those making the demands is ostensibly that Umno needs to ‘re-invent itself’ to gain back support. They assert that time is running out and to wait longer may mean that Umno’s losses may be irreversible.
The reasons offered seem to be a thinly-veiled cover for other agendas. There is no reason why Umno’s healing cannot take place under the present Umno president with the cooperation of other leaders. The very reason why Umno is in turmoil is the incessant public calls for Abdullah to step down. Those making the calls are the ones who make it difficult for Umno to find its footing and get back to work.
There is something fishy here as there appears to be a hidden agenda in the way Abdullah is being pressured to resign immediately to make way for his deputy, Najib Razak. Is Najib the charismatic leader who can turn Umno around? But he is no Anwar Ibrahim. Could it be that as a person with a tainted past, Najib is susceptible to being controlled?
But controlled by who? Although this is only my conjecture, there may be a clique within Umno who is fearful of losing power and hence the fruits of corruption after the dismal results of the elections. This group sees eye-to-eye with Mahathir and have no qualms about using his authoritarian methods of maintaining power. They fear Anwar’s return to the corridors of power and feel that Mahathir is the only one who can frustrate him.
With Najib at the helm and Mahathir the real power behind the throne, repressive methods may be used to curtail democratic freedom and limit the opposition’s space to operate. We may even have a media war against the opposition and an ‘Operation Lallang 2'.
However, time is of essence. Abdullah stands in the way of iron-fisted methods as long is he is PM. Even ‘worse’, he appears to be pushing some genuine reforms such as judicial independence and press freedom which will make it difficult for authoritarian methods to be employed later. Furthermore, the longer the Pakatan Rakyat state governments operate, the more public support they are likely to engender with their fair and populist policies.
The way to rejuvenating Umno and Barisan Nasional lies in genuine reforms to repair the damage done to democratic institutions perpetrated by Mahathir. Hence, Abdullah is on the right track. Public support and rejuvenation of the party will come with real reforms. However, this means that Umno’s culture of corruption and arrogance will have to change.
This may be anathema to those who depend on corruption to support their lifestyle and would prefer the return of Mahathirism to maintain their hold on power. As for Mahathir, although retired, we should not underestimate the menace this old man poses to our nascent democracy. Let us all rally behind Abdullah to oppose Mahathir’s attempt to pull him down for his own nefarious ends

Hidden agenda behind 'Pak Lah, quit' calls

SIAPA BEKAS MENTERI ITU?
SIAPA BEKAS MENTERI ITU?
Oleh : Tun Telanai
Assalamu’alaikum wm.wrt,
Mohd Sayuti Omar [MSO] melalui blognya Blog Merah Tintanya yang dipetik oleh laman Marhaen [http://www.marhaen.org/v1/mar_a_merah_tinta85.html] melaporkan seorang bekas Menteri telah melakukan gangguan seksual ke atas seorang wanita di di Kelab Havana hotel Maridien di KL Sentral. Kemudian, teman wanita itu sudah pun membuat laporan polis ke atas bekas menteri berkenaan.
Kita tunggu siasatan lanjut daripada pihak polis. Kita mengharapkan [sekiranya berita ini sahih dan benar] pihak polis yang menerima aduan tersebut perlu melakukan penyiasiatan dengan SEGERA seperti mana cepatnya macam kilat mereka menyiasat pemimpin kanan PKR yang terlibat dalam peristewa meraikan Anwar Ibrahim pada malam ‘Black 14’ pada 14 April lalu.
Kita hendak tahu sama ada pihak polis akan merendamkan sahaja kes itu kerana ia melibatkan rakyat marhaen dan yang melakukannya pula ialah pemimpin UMNO [hanya ramalan penulis semata-mata] atau membawanya ke mahkamah untuk diadili. Kes pencabulan adalah merupakan kes yang berat dan pasti sekiranya kejadian ini berlaku kepada orang biasa, maka sudah pasti pelakunya akan dihukum dengan berat. Kita tunggu perkembangan selanjutnya kes ini.
Sayuti turut memberi sedikit klu terhadap bekas menteri itu. Bekas menteri itu katanya seorang yang berjambang, baru menang kerusi Parlimen dalam dalam pilihan raya lalu, tetapi tidak dilantik semula menjadi menteri. Penggugurannya dikatakan kononnya disebabkan perlakuan moralnya yang buruk yang tidak selari dengan kehendak dasar kerajaan sekarang.
Persoalannya siapakah bekas menteri mistri itu?
Saya pun lantas mengambil senarai karbinet tahun 2007 yang masih dalam simpanan. Saya perhatikan tidak seorang pun dikalangan menteri yang berjambang, kecuali Jamaluddin Jarjis, Menteri Sains, Tekonologi dan Innovasi, Ahli Parlimen Rompin. Dalam pilihan raya lepas, beliau bertanding semula di kerusi Parlimen Rompin menentang calon PAS, Mazlan Mohd Yassin. Beliau menang mengalahkan Mazlan dengan majoriti 10,679 undi. Beliau memperolehi 21,308 undi, manakala Mazlan mendapat 10,629, tetapi beliau digugurkan dalam senarai karbinet Abdullah selepas pilihan raya lalu.
Sementera itu, saya teringat kes pembunuhan kejam Norita Shamsudin pada tahun 2003 yang mana Hanif Basree seorang jurutera telah dituduh melakukan pembunuhan tersebut. Dalam perbicaraan kes tersebut, ada disebut ada orang ‘lain’ yang masuk selepas Hanif berzina dengan Norita. Ini membawa maksud bahawa Norita masih hidup ketika Hanif keluar daripada apartmen mewah itu.
Norita telah didapati terbunuh di satu apatmen yang disewanya di Sri Hartamas di mana mayatnya telah dijumpai oleh rakan sebiliknya. Mengikut testimoni mahkamah dua orang mata-mata gelap polis adalah yang mula-mula sekali tiba di tempat kejadian dan dengan serta-merta telah menutup pintu bilik untuk bersendirian dengan mayat Norita lebih dari dua jam. Pasukan penyaisat polis tiba di tempat kejadian hanya selepas itu. Rakan sebilik Norita telah menyatakan di mahkamah bahawa kali pertama dia [bersama seorang rakannya] terjumpa Norita si mati berada dalam keadaan terbaring dengan kaki terkangkang, tetapi sejurus dua orang mata-mata gelap itu pergi, dia mendapati mayat Norita sudah diikat tangannya di bahagian belakang.
Mereka telah menjumpai telefon bimbit Norita dan adalah dipercayai beliau memang ada membuat dan menerima panggilan yang melibatkan seorang ternama [VIP] pada malam dia dibunuh. Panggilan telefon itu tentu sekali dapat membuka kunci rahsia mengenai keadaan kematian. Akan tetapi kenapakah Pendakwaraya tidak pernah mengemukakan rekod telefon Norita di mahkamah? Apabila bahan bukti yang amat penting semacam ini sengaja diketepikan, Pendakwaraya sengaja melemahkan kes itu. Akhirnya Hanif dibebaskan kerana tidak ada bukti kukuh untuk mensabitkan yang Hanif yang melakukan pembunuhan kejam tersebut. Yang pentingnya kes itu ditutup dan orang yang melakukan perbuatan itu bebas.
Semua orang tahu khususnya warga di Putrajaya, kes pembunuhan Norita ini ada kaitan dengan Jamaluddin Jarjis. Tanyalah saudara-mara, kenalan dan sahabat-handai yang berkerja di Putrajaya sekiranya maklumat ini salah. Saya hanya mendapat maklumat ini dariada seorang sahabat yang bekerja di JPM. Betul atau salah, wallahua’alam.
Semenjak dari kes pembunuhan Norita ini menjadi topik utama perbincangan masyarakat di Malaysia, berita dan perkembangan sesama Jamaluddin Jarjis tidak ada langsung di media massa sehinggala beliau muncul kembali menjadi hero apabila Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukur menjadi Angkasawan Malaysia yang pertama yang berjaya menjejak kaki di bulan.
Ini bukanlah merupakan satu tuduhan kepada Jamaluddin Jarjis. Ianya hanya datang daripada imijasi daripada penulis sendiri. Benar atau salah kita sama-sama tunggu hasil penyiasatan yang dilakukan oleh pihak polis. Bagi kes Norita, pasti ada pembunuhnya. Siapa, hanya Allah dan orang-orang yang terlibat sahaja yang tahu.
