Anwar tunjuk kurang ajar pada Sultan Johor, lantik Chua Jui Meng Ketua PKR Negeri

Baharu sahaja beberapa minggu lepas Sultan Johor menarik balik pingat-pingat kebesaran negeri Johor daripada Chua Jui Meng, termasuk dua pingat yang membawa gelaran Dato’ dan Dato’ Seri. Sultan Johor berbuat demikian kerana tidak berkenan dengan tingkah laku Chua Jui meng yang tidak menepati tingkah laku yang dikehendakki bagi penerima pingat-pingat tersebut.

Dalam reaksinya pula, Chua Jui Meng dengan melulu telah menuduh UMNO Johor sebagai dalang disebalik penarikan balik darjah kebesaran tersebut. Tiada bukti yang dikemukakan.

Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim pula di dalam reaksi beliau, telah memberitahu akan meminta perkenan untuk menghadap Sultan Johor.

Kini jelas sekali, Sultan Johor tidak berkenan untuk menerima menghadap Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim. Sultan Johor juga jelas tidak terpengaruh mahu pun dipengaruhi oleh UMNO Johor di dalam keputusan baginda umtuk menarik balik darjah kebesaran daripada Chua Jui Meng.

Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim tahu bahawa Sultan Johor tidak mahu berjumpa dengan manusia seperti beliau. Beliau pun tidak ambil peduli hal tersebut, kerana Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim berasal dari negeri yang tidak ada Sultan. Beliau berasal dari negeri yang Ketua Menterinya orang Cina.

Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim juga tahu bahawa Sultan Johor murka dengan Chua Jui Meng, dan sebab itulah baginda menarik balik pingat kebesaran Johor daripada Cina tersebut. Tetapi, sekali lagi, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim tidak ambil peduli hal tersebut.

Dengan kurang ajarnya, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim telah “memberi perkenan” untuk melantik Chua Jui Meng sebagai Ketua PKR Negeri Johor.

Secara terang-terangan, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim cuba menyanggah Sultan Johor. Dengan terang-terangan, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim cuba menunjukkan kepada Sultan Johor bahawa beliau dan PKR tidak perlu memikirkan sensitiviti Sultan yang memerintah dalam membuat perhitungan politik beliau.

Secara terang-terangan, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim memberi isyarat kepada Raja-Raja Melayu bahawa telah tiba masanya rakyat biasa seperti beliau membuat keputusan sendiri, walau pun ianya mempunyai implikasi melibatkan pentadbiran negeri yang mempunyai Sultan.

Negeri Johor telah pun ada wakil rakyat dari DAP yang secara terang-terangan menyanggah Sultan Johor, Al-Marhum Sultan Iskandar dan enggan memakai songkok yang merupakan protokol semasa majlis perasmian Dewan Undangan Negeri.

Sekarang ini, ada pulak Melayu melaun daripada Pulau Pinang yang berani menyanggah Sultan Johor dengan melantik seorang pemimpin Cina yang baharu sahaja dilucutkan pingat kebesaran negeri, sebagai pemimpin parti politik PKR di negeri Johor.

Mungkin lepas ini, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim akan menggunakan propaganda Ketuanan Rakyat bagi mendesak agar undang-undang tubuh negeri Johor diubah, agar membenarkan bukan Melayu dilantik sebagai Menteri Besar. Maka ramailah kapitan-kapitan cinabeng dan loyar-loyar keling yang akan menyambut baik saranan Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim tersebut. Ulama-ulama pollitk dari PAS pula akan diam membisu, atau, kalau tidak pun, akan memberi ulasan bahawa perubahan tersebut dibenarkan oleh Islam.

Itulah cara sebenar Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim dan konco-konco beliau di PKR. Sesiapa sahaja akan disanggah, termasuklah Raja-Raja Melayu, asalnya matlamat politik beliau untuk menjadi Presiden Malaysia tercapai.

Obama telefon Najib, Anwar batal ke Washington

Berita malam ini telah memetik kenyataan Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Najib Razak, bahawa Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Obama telah membuat panggilan telefon kepada Najib di kediaman peribadinya di Langgak Duta.

Obama telah memuji Malaysia sebagai satu negara Islam contoh yang moden dan progresif di mana rakyat pelbagai ugama dan pelbagai kaum hidup aman, dan menjadi cemburuan negara pelbagai kaum yang lain yang dilanda perselisihan etnik yang meruncing. Sila baca posting oleh BarkingMagpie.

Obama juga menyatakan harapan US supaya Malaysia dapat memainkan peranan besar di dalam usaha untuk membuka laluan dialog di antara US dan Iran.

Nampak gaya lawatan Menteri Luar, Anifah Aman, ke US tempohari telah berjaya sehingga membuat Pentadbiran Obama menerima Pentadbiran Najib dan melihat semula secara dekat hubungan antara kedua negara.

Mungkin Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim telah pun diberitahu oleh konco-konco beliau di US bahawa Obama telah mula menerima Najib dan akan menelefon Najib pada 26 Jun 2009. Mungkin sebab itulah Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim mengambil keputusan untuk membatalkan lawatan beliau ke Washington. Jurublog telah menjangkakan sejak bulan Mei lalu bahawa berkemungkinan Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim akan menggunakan helah untuk pergi ke US dan terpaksa menjalani kuarantin ketika pulang semula, dan selanjutnya mengelak dari hadir ke mahkamah pada bulan Julai ini.

Pada 26 Jun 2009, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim telah membuat satu kenyataan di dalam anwaribrahimblog.com bahawa beliau telah membatalkan rancangan beliau untuk ke Washington bagi menghadiri seminar bertajuk ”Business Opportunities in Muslim World”.

Tetapi, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim dengan perangai celakanya telah menyalahkan mahkamah Malaysia kerana mempercepatkan perbicaraan Sodomi II ke 1 Julai 2009 hingga memaksa Anwar membatalkan lawatan beliau ke Washington, US. Berikut adalah petikan kenyataan Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim:

“The unprecedented actions taken by the Malaysian courts to expedite the beginning of Anwar Ibrahim’s trial have forced him to abandon his plans to travel to Washington DC this month. The non-cooperation of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which has impeded the preparation of the best defense that Mr. Ibrahim is lawfully entitled to, and the insistence of the Malaysian courts to begin his trial in early July despite the repeated requests by his lawyers for access to basic discovery items, requires Mr. Ibrahim be present in the Kuala Lumpur High Court to attend to his various applications including to quash the charges leveled against him.”

Walau pun Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim telah tahu sejak berbulan-bulan dahulu lagi akan tarikh perbicaraan pada 1 Julai 2009, Anwar masih lagi ingin mengaturkan lawatan ke luar negara, terutama ke US dan Australia, dua negara yang pailing banyak kes selsema babi. Tetapi, dengan bodoh sombongnya, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim terus mempersalahkan mahkamah kerana terpaksa membatalkan urusan perjalanan ke US kerana kes mahkamahnya yang belum selesai. Kemudian, ditambah pula dengan kenyataan-kenyataan yang memburukkan imej Malaysia dan sistem perundangan Malaysia.

Apabila membaca kenyataan tipuhelah Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim yang tersebut, Jurublog telah dengan segera menghantar komen pedas di dalam anwaribrahimblog.com. Mungkin komen Jurublog tidak akan diluluskan oleh administrator upahan Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim. Celaka punya Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim!

Minda cetek Anwar masih memainkan isu Chin Peng

Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim kadangkala menyerlahkan pemikiran beliau yang sebenarnya dangkal. Kali ini, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim menuduh dasar UMNO-BN haru-biru dalam isu Chin Peng.

Beliau menyoalkan kenapa Najib tidak dilabel sebagai pengkhianat kerana melawat China yang merupakan penyokong kuat Parti Komunis Malaya. Ini adalah kerana Beijing menyediakan dana dan merupakan destinasi latihan buat PKM.

Janganlah terus bahlul, wahai Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim... Apabila Tun Razak melawat China tempohari (sejak awal tahun 1970an lagi), Pengerusi Mao ketika itu telah pun membayangkan bahawa China tidak akan campurtangan dengan menyokong PKM. Sejak itulah, hubungan diplomatik Malaysia-China bertambah akrab.

Berbaik-baik dengan Negara China tidak ada kena mengena lagi dengan soal samada Chin Peng perlu diberi pengampunan dan dibenarkan pulang ke Malaysia. Hubungan diplomatik Malaysia-China tidak berkaitan langsung dengan isu PKM dan Chin Peng.

Chin Peng merupakan individu utama PKM yang telah menumpahkan banyak darah anggota keselamatan negara kita yang tercinta ini. Kita tidak tahu apa temberang Chin Peng kepada pemimpin negara China semasa itu, untuk mendapatkan sokongan China terhadap perjuangan PKM. Membenarkan Chin Peng kembali ke Malaysia merupakan satu pengkhianatan ke atas wira-wira yang telah berjuang bermati-matian untuk mempertahankan negara.

Sebagai contoh lain, jika seorang individu pengkhianat itu berasa dirinya bersalah dan takut akan ditangkap dan dipenjarakan kerana kesalahan tersebut, lalu pengkhianat tersebut kecut perut dan menyorok di sebuah kedutaan negara luar yang terletak di ibukota, maka kita tidak menyalahkan negara kedutaan tersebut. Kita patut terus menyalahkan individu pengkhianat tersebut kerana membuat tohmahan liar terhadap negaranya sendiri hanya kerana masalah peribadi yang dihadapi olehnya.

Britain pernah menakluk dan menjajah Malaya. Jepun pernah berperang dan menjajah Malaya. Jerman dengan Nazinya pernah memporak perandakan dunia. Soalnya, adakah menjalinkan hubungan dengan negara-negara tersebut setelah tamatnya perang dan pemberontakan merupakan satu pengkhianatan? (Mungkin jawapan dari Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim yang bahlul, ianya benar, satu pengkhianatan)

Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim masih lagi ingin mempermainkan isu Chin Peng agar dapat terus membakar semangat penyokongnya yang bukan-Melayu agar menentang kerajaan UMNO-BN. Memanglah perangai seperti dajjal.


Nota:
Seperti biasa, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim mencampur aduk bahasa Malaysia dengan bahasa Indonesia agar kononnya nampak lebih ”nusantara” dengan kata-kata seperti memintal fitnah jahat, sosok, mencoret catitan dan lain-lain. Jadi, kalau orang kampung dengar, kononnya lebih canggih dan menarik ...

Dan jika dibacakan secara mendalam, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim mengelak daripada menulis secara langsung untuk bersetuju supaya Chin Peng diampunkan dan dibenarkan pulang ke Malaysia. Isu Chin Peng ini hanyalah mainan politik Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim untuk terus disanjung oleh penyokong beliau dari kaum bukan Melayu (terutamanya kaum China yang bersempati dengan Chin Peng).

Wabak Politik BABI kini menular di Iran

Wabak selsema babi atau influenza A(H1N1) telah pun dikategorikan sebagai pandemik iaitu wabak yang menular di seluruh dunia.

Di Malaysia, terdapat satu wabak politik yang amat ketara caranya sejak penglibatan semula Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim di arena politik negara. Jurublog lebih senang menggelarkan cara berpolitik tersebut sebagai wabak politik BABI.

Cara berpolitik yang tersebut adalah dengan menggunakan saluran media untuk memberi sangkaan ramai bahawa pihaknya sentiasa mendapat sokongan padu dan sekiranya berlaku kekalahan, maka dituduhnya pula bahawa pihak lawan telah melakukan perbuatan khianat yang menyebabkan pihaknya kalah. Adalah lebih mudah sekiranya media barat dan media baru lebih memihak kepada pengamal politik BABI tersebut.

Sindrom wabak politik BABI jelas diguna pakai semasa pemilihan pucuk pimpinan PAS tempuhari. Sebagai konco pengasas wabak tersebut, Husam mendapat sokongan padu daripada media baru. Hampir kesemua orang di luar PAS yang menyokong Pakatan Rakyat diabui oleh berita bahawa Husam merupakan calun yang akan menang mengatasi Nasharuddin, sehinggalah pukul 9.30 pagi pada hari pengumuman keputusan tersebut. Tetapi, apabila Nasharuddin dapat menewaskan Husam dengan undi yang banyak, maka bermacam tohmahan dibuat, dengan menyalahkan pihak yang menang. Sehingga hari ini juga, agenda perpaduan yang di bawa oleh pemenang pertandingan tersebut, Nasharuddin, terus diberi reaksi negatif oleh media baru dan konco-konco Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim.

Begitulah yang berlaku di sekitar pilihanraya Presiden di Iran. Kebetulan Jurublog berada di luar negara ketika itu, dan hanya dapat mendengar berita melalui CNN.

CNN menggambarkan seolah-olah Ahmadinejad akan kalah atau sekurang-kurangnya akan berlaku pusingan kedua pilihanraya Presiden di Iran pada kali ini. Ini adalah kononya kerana kekuatan sokongan yang diterima oleh pihak pro-reformasi di Iran yang ”dahagakan” hubungan baik dengan Amerika. Berita ”kemenangan” pihak reformis amat ketara dalam tempuh seminggu sebelum hari pilihanraya sehingga hari mengundi.

Apabila Ahmadinejad menang dengan undi besar dan mendapat dua pertiga jumlah undi, maka timbullah berita prasangka bahawa terdapat penyelewengan di dalam proses pilihanraya tersebut.

Sebenarnya, sokongan terhadap Ahmadinejad memang jitu sejak dari awal pertandingan lagi, terutamanya sokongan padu yang diterima beliau di daerah pendalaman Iran. Seperti biasa, golongan belia yang anti-establishment dan penduduk kota yang terpengaruh dengan dakyah media asing merupakan pihak yang menentang Ahmadinejad. Golongan itulah yang terasa amat yakin akan mendapatkan kemenangan bagi pihak reformis kerana mereka merasakan majoriti di bandar akan diterjemah sebagai undi majoriti juga bagi pihak reformis. Mereka inilah yang tidak berpuas hati kerana undi mereka tidak cukup banyak untuk memeberi kemenangan kepada pihak reformis. Lantas kekalahan mereka dituduh pula hasil dari penyelewengan.

Media asing yang anti-Ahmadinejad terus dengan dakyah mereka mempersalahkan penyelewangan yang kononnya berlaku semasa pilihanraya Presiden tersebut.

Samalah apa yang berlaku di Iran dengan apa yang sekarang ini menjadi lumrah di Malaysia. Agen Amerika dan media barat yang pro-Amerika akan terus menggunakan kekuatan perang saraf mereka untuk menjejaskan kestabilan politik di Iran. Di Malaysia, kita mempunyai orang yang menjadi sanjungan Amerika yang menggunakan taktik yang sama untuk terus kekal relevan di persada politik negara, kerana inginkan jawatan Perdana Menteri.

Itulah taktik politik BABI.

Jadi, kita dapat meneka calun mana yang dipilih oleh Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim. Beliau sudah tentu tidak akan memberi sokongan kepada calun yang tidak disukai oleh Amerika. Jadi, tidak hairanlah pemerhatian oleh Jurublog bahawa Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim masih belum lagi mengucapkan tahniah kepada Ahmaddinejad kerana kemenangan beliau di dalam pilihanraya Presiden Iran. Ini berbeza sekali dengan reaksi segera Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim yang serta merta menghantar utusan tahniah kepada Obama semasa kemenangan beliau, sebelum kerajaan Malaysia sendiri menghantar mesej yang sama. Kita juga tidak hairan bahawa anasir Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim lah yang mengabui mata Pentadbiran Obama sehinggakan Amerika Syarikat tidak menghantar utusan tahniah atas perlantikan Najib sebagai Perdana Menteri Malaysia, sehinggalah Anifah Aman menjelaskan kedudukan Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim di khalayak pemberita di Amerika semasa lawatan beliau ke US tempohari.

Cabang dan Ranting: Demokrasi bawah pokok jadi asas perlembagaan rasmi PKR

Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim terus mempermainkan minda cetek pengikut-pengikutnya di dalam PKR melalui pindaan perlembagaan parti tersebut yang diluluskan semalam.

Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim memang gemar menggunakan istilah bahasa Indonesia yang asing bagi orang Melayu di Malaysia di dalam ucapan atau kenyataan bertulis beliau. Itulah cara beliau untuk kononnya menunjukkan beliau arif tentang bahasa nusantara.

Kali ini, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim menjadikan peristiwa persidangan ADUN di bawah pokok yang berlaku di Perak sebagai ilham untuk meminda istilah yang digunapakai di dalam perlembagaan PKR.

Istilah bahagian (bagi merujuk kepada kawasan parlimen) diubah kepada cabang. Istilah cawangan (bagi merujuk kepada kawasan Dewan Undangan Negeri) diubah kepada ranting.

Mungkin parti induk PKR diumpamakan sebagai pokok, dengan ahli-ahli PKR sebagai daun-daun pokok tersebut. Selalunya daun-daun akan berguguran setiap kali musim luruh dan akan gugur sepenuhnya semasa musim sejuk. Itulah yang akan berlaku kepada PKR – ahli-ahli PKR akan terus hilang apabila sampai satu ketika apabila kepimpinan parti itu tidak lagi diterajui oleh Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim.

Setidak-tidaknya, akan selalu berlaku peristiwa keguguran daun setiap kali angin bertiup ke arah pokok tersebut. Setiap kali terdapat krisis parti, akan adalah ahli-ahli yang akan keluar parti. Itu belum lagi cubaan dari luar untuk menggegarkan batang pokok atau memotong sepenuhnya batang pokok tersebut.

Dengan rasminya PKR telah menjadi akronim bagi Pokok Kerajaan Ranting.

Maka akan sentiasalah pokok PKR tersebut terus bergoyang kerana angin perubahan yang sentiasa cuba diperbuat oleh Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim selagi beliau belum dapat berkuasa penuh sebagai Perdana Menteri.

Kera-kera akan terus bergayut di cabang-cabang pokok tersebut. Ini juga akan menggugurkan daun-daun pokok.

Akan terdapat juga anjing-anjing perliharaan yang berkawan dengan pokok tersebut, dan menjadikan batang pokok untuk sebagai tempat kencing. Itulah perumpamaan bagi DAP dan PAS yang menjadi rakan PKR di dalam Pakatan Rakyat.

Soalnya, adakah Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim memperumpamakan dirinya sebagi akar pokok tersebut? Atau pun beliau lebih rela menjadi batang pokok, kerana mengambil kira kekuatan diri beliau dalam hal riadah seperti peristiwa Sodomi II?

Sekiranya Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim menganggap dirinya sebagai akar pokok tersebut, maka sahlah Majlis Pimpinan PKR adalah batang pokok yang tidak aktif dan mengikut telunjuk beliau. Pokok tersebut akan mati sekiranya akar tersebut tiada lagi...

Si Pengkhianat Anwar samakan individu Chin Peng dengan Negara China

Kerana terdesak inginkan sokongan kaum China di Malaysia, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim menyatakan Pakatan Rakyat bersedia untuk memaafkan Chin Peng dan membenarkan Chin Peng untuk kembali ke Malaysia.

”Sekiranya kita boleh memaafkan Negara China, kenapa kita tidak boleh memaafkan Chin Peng?”, begitulah kata Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim. Janganlah jadi bahlul, wahai Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim, dan jangan menyamakan seorang individu Chin Peng yang telah memporak-perandakan negara kita dengan sebuah negara berdaulat seperti Negara China. Dalam pertemuannya dengan Tun Razak, Pengerusi Mao sendiri tidak menunjukkan minat untuk menyokong perjuangan komunis di Malaysia.

Media baru seperti Malaysiakini pula mengambil kesempatan dengan memuji Chin Peng kerana mempertahankan Malaya sehingga dianugerahkan Order of The British Empire (OBE). Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim juga dipetik untuk menyamakan pengampunan Chin Peng sepertimana Rasulullah memaafkan kafir Quraish ketika pembukaan Mekah.

Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim sedar bahawa dengan sokongan berterusan daripada kaum China di Malaysia, cita-citanya untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri di Malaysia boleh menjadi kenyataan. Pada orang Cina (dan ini pernah dinyatakan kepada Jurublog sendiri oleh penyokong Pakatan Rakyat dari kaum tersebut), walau pun Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim itu kaki perempuan sekali pun, atau walau pun Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim itu biseksual sekali pun, ianya tidak akan menghalang pengundi bukan-Melayu terutamanya golongan muda sekarang ini untuk mengundi Pakatan Rakyat. Hubungan bebas dan biseksualiti telah menjadi lumrah bagi mereka sekarang ini. Pada mereka, orang Melayu hanyalah hipokrit kerana tidak mempercayai bahawa terdapat ramai orang yang mempunyai hubungan seks bebas, serta ramai juga golongan biseksual dan homoseksual di Malaysia.

Mungkin pada kaum China, mereka berharap Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim akan menjadi Perdana Menteri (biseksual yang pertama) di Malaysia.

Analisa pemilihan PAS: Cubaan Anwar melalui media baru berkesan, tetapi tidak berjaya

Pembaca blog ini sedia maklum bahawa walaupun menyokong UMNO, Jurublog bukanlah ahli UMNO. Jurublog juga tidak menyokong Pakatan Rakyat tetapi bersikap neutral terhadap PAS.

Jurublog sentiasa mengikuti liputan media baru mengenai pemilihan pucuk pimpanan PAS yang baru sahaja selesai. Nampak benar bahawa Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim telah berjaya untuk menguasai media baru, sebagaimana beliau telah menguasai media massa semasa berkuasa sebagai Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan Menteri Kewangan dahulu.

Media baru yang menyokong Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim dengan jelas cuba mendapatkan sokongan perwakilan PAS terhadap puak pro-Anwar (a.k.a. puak Erdogan) untuk memimpin PAS. Media baru telah berterusan “berkempen” dengan menyiarkan berita-berita menarik mengenai Husam dan “peluang cerah” Husam untuk memenangi jawatan timbalan presiden PAS. Lihat sahaja petikan yang sempat dibuat oleh Jurublog. (Beberapa artikel lain yang secara halus ”berkempen” untuk Husam telah tidak dapat dikesan, mungkin telah dipadamkan...)

Ringkasan oleh Jurublog: Eksperimen Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim untuk mengukuhkan kedudukan beliau di dalam Pakatan Rakyat dengan memastikan puak yang menyokong beliau berkuasa di dalam PAS telah meninggalkan kesan, tetapi tidak berjaya.

Anwar Joget vs Minah Ronggeng

Seronok jugak tenguk mamat yang seorang ni dapat berjoget walau pun dulunya guna helah sakit pinggang sampai nak lumpuh untuk keluar dari penjara.

Malangnya masa berjoget tu pasangan minah ronggeng tak ada sama. Semua yang ada lelaki. Tapi jadilah ...

Anwar tidak akan berani menyaman Anifah Aman

Pada tulisan Jurublog sebelum ini, Jurublog telah melahirkan pendapat bahawa Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim tidak akan berani membawa Anifah Aman ke mahkamah, gara-gara kenyataan Anifah Aman mengenai habuan jawatan Menteri Kanan yang ditawarkan oleh Anwar semasa Projek 916 yang lalu.

Setelah Jurublog mengeluarkan posting tersebut, anwaribrahimblog.com telah menyiarkan kenyataan terus di muka utama blog tersebut mengenai kisah ingin menyaman Anifah Aman (Nota: Sebelum itu, kenyataan balas Anwar mengenai Anifah Aman hanya disiarkan di muka tepi blog berkenaan dengan memetik sumber media). Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim telah menyuruh peguam beliau untuk mengugut Anifah Aman dengan memberi tempoh 24 jam sebelum kononnya akan memulakan Saman Malu.

Pada 18hb Mei, timbul pula Surat Tuntutan daripada peguam Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim. Mulanya mereka mengancam dan memberi masa 24 jam kepada Anifah Aman sebelum hendak buat saman malu, tetapi kemudiannya hanya buat surat tuntutan sahaja. Surat tuntutan pulak memberikan masa 7 hari kepada Anifah Aman untuk membuat respons.

Walau bagaimana pun, Jurublog hairan mengapa Peguam Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim lebih cenderung mengambil bulat-bulat petikan akhbar mengenai kenyataan Anifah Aman di hadapan Hillary Clinton dan pemberita-pemberita di Amerika Syarikat.

Mengapa tidak diambil transkrip kenyataan sebenar yang dibuat oleh Anifah Aman, seperti berikut:-

And I was personally offered to jump into the oppositions and offered a very lucrative position, and also to be told it’s like a deputy prime minister.

Dan bukannya

I was personally offered a very lucrative position, like a deputy prime ministership.

Mudah sahaja kesalahan remeh seperti di atas ditolak bulat-bulat oleh mahkamah. Sudah terpampang di internet rakaman video dan transkrip kenyataan sebenar yang dibuat oleh Anifah Aman. Mengapa dengan bodohnya peguam Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim masih memetik sumber akhbar sahaja untuk proses saman malu?

Jurublog masih percaya Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim hanya mengacah dan tidak akan berani menyaman Anifah Aman, kerana kenyataan Anifah Aman terlalu “general”. Anifah Aman hanya menyatakan bahawa beliau telah ditawarkan jawatan yang dikatakan oleh Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim kepadanya seakan-akan (it’s like) Timbalan Perdana Menteri.

Samada betul atau tidak, Jurublog pernah dikhabarkan bahawa Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim sebenarnya menawarkan jawatan Menteri Petroleum kepada Anifah Aman. Atau adakah sebenarnya Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim telah menawarkan jawatan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri kepada Anifah Aman? Lalu dikelentongnya bahawa Menteri JPM adalah seolah-olah Timbalan Perdana Menteri kerana berada bersama Perdana Menteri.

Kita cuma berharap agar Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim meneruskan ugutan beliau untuk menyaman dan membawa Anifah Aman ke mahkamah.

Kita juga berharap agar Anifah Aman dapat membawa bersama 30 orang lagi ahli parlimen Barisan Nasional (termasuk Ghafur Salleh dan Puad Zarkhasi) ke mahkamah nanti, supaya mereka semua dapat mendedahkan apa pula kelentong Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim bagi habuan mereka masing-masing untuk berpaling tadah menyokong Pakatan Rakyat bagi misi Projek 916.

Kita tunggu Isnin hadapan, iaini selepas tamat tempoh edah 7 hari yang ditetapkan oleh Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim kepada Anifah Aman ...

Janji Anwar kepada Anifah: TPM, Menteri Petroleum atau duit?

Pada sidang media 14 Mei 2009 bersama Setiausaha Negara Amerika Syarikat, Menteri Luar Malaysia yang baru, Anifah Aman telah membuat pengakuan terbuka bahawa Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim telah cuba mendapatkan sokongan Anifah untuk menyokong Pakatan Rakyat dan membentuk kerajaan baru pada 16 September 2008.

Ini adalah petikan kenyataan yang dibuat oleh Anifah Aman di hadapan pemberita-pemberita di Washington:

“And also just for the information of the audience here that, you know, he also said that he will form a government on 16 September and he has changed the dates many time. And he was trying to entice the members of parliament. And I was personally offered to jump into the oppositions and offered a very lucrative position, and also to be told it’s like a deputy prime minister. And these are not known to the world at large.”

Cerita mengenai habuan yang dijanjikan oleh Anwar kepada ahli parlimen Barisan Nasional telah banyak didengar.

Dr Puad Zarkhasi pernah mendedahkan bahawa Rahim Ghouse merupakan salah seorang balaci Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim yang bertindak berbincang dengan ahli-ahli parlimen Barisan Nasional untuk berpaling tadah. Rahim Ghouse adalah salah seorang bendahara “war chest” Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim. Semasa era kegemilangan Anwar menjadi Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan Menteri Kewangan Malaysia, kroni-kroni Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim termasuk Rahim Ghouse telah mendapat habuan yang banyak melalui kontrak-kontrak dan penglibatan mereka di dalam spekulasi saham di KLSE. Semasa Anwar ditangkap, Rahim Ghouse merupakan salah seorang kroni Anwar yang paling cepat melarikan diri ke luar negara bersama dana-dana yang sedia terkumpul. Rahim Ghouse dikatakan sekarang ini menetap dan mempunyai rumah dan sebuah ladang di Perth, Western Australia.

Selain daripada Puad Zarkhasi, ada beberapa orang ahli parlimen Sabah yang sebelum ini mendedahkan janji habuan jutaan ringgit daripada konco-konco Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim – jumlah yang dikatakan hingga tidak habis beberapa keturunan.

Jurublog pernah terdengar bahawa Anifah Aman memang menjadi sasaran Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim untuk berpaling tadah dan menyokong Pakatan Rakyat. Tindak tanduk Anifah Aman di dewan Parlimen juga yang sebelum ini asyik ”menghentam” kerajaan Barisan Nasonal telah membayangkan perkara yang sama.

Cuma yang berbeza adalah habuan yang dijanjikan oleh Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim kepada Anifah Aman. Jurublog difahamkan bahawa Anwar menjanjikan portfolio Menteri Petroleum kepada Anifah Aman sekiranya beliau bersetuju menyokong pembentukan kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat. Mungkin jawatan Menteri Petroleum itulah yang mungkin dikatakan oleh Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim kepada Anifah Aman sebagai jawatan Menteri Kanan yang seolah-olah (it’s like) jawatan Timbalan Perdana Menteri.

Isu royalti petroleum Sabah dan Sarawak memang menjadi isu sensitif selepas pilihanraya umum 8 Mac 2008 yang menjadikan sokongan daripada Sabah dan Sarawak sebagai tunjang utama kekalnya Barisan Nasional untuk terus menguasai kerajaan pusat Malaysia. Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim pernah menjanjikan royalti petroleum dinaikkan ke paras 20% untuk dinikmati oleh masyarakat Sabah dan Sarawak. Sekiranya jawatan Menteri Petroleum diperkenalkan, maka kementerian tersebut boleh menjadi lubuk duit untuk pengagihan kekayaan bagi mereka yang ”berpatutan”.

Mungkin juga habuan yang sama dikemukakan kepada Ghafur Salleh, seorang lagi ahli parlimen dari Sabah. Setakat ini, Ghafur Salleh masih lagi mendiamkan diri dan tidak membuka mulut mengenai janji yang telah dibuat oleh Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim buat diri Ghafur Salleh. Kata orang, jika rahsia belum terbongkar, masih ada peluang bagi Ghafur Salleh untuk melihat laluan arus ....

Rasa-rasanya, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim tidak akan berani membawa Anifah Aman ke mahkamah. Anifah Aman tidak membayangkan bahawa beliau dijanjikan jawatan TPM. Beliau hanya membayangkan bahawa Anwar menjanjikan jawatan seolah-olah TPM. (Dua jawatan TPM telah dijanjikan oleh Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim setiap satunya untuk PAS dan DAP).

Setakat ini, anwaribrahimblog.com belum lagi menyiarkan kenyataan terus daripada pajabat Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim sendiri mengenai pendedahan Anifah Aman ini. Blog tersebut hanya menyiarkan ”berita tepi” yang memetik kenyataan peguam Anwar kepada media bahawa Anwar bercadang untuk menyaman Anifah Aman. Ini adalah salah satu lagi petanda yang menyebabkan Jurublog percaya bahawa Anwar tidak mempunyai kes yang kuat untuk menyaman Anifah Aman. Selalunya Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim akan dengan gah membuat kenyataan segera secara terus melalui anwaribrahimblog.com mengenai isu-isu yang membatitkan diri beliau.

Tetapi, sekiranya perkara ini ke mahkamah nanti, harapnya Anifah Aman diberi peluang membela diri dengan ”membawa bersama” ahli-ahli parlimen lain yang telah pernah didekati oleh Anwar atau balaci-balaci Anwar untuk berpaling tadah. Semoga mereka itu semua dapat mendedahkan modus operandi Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim untuk memujuk ahli-ahli parlimen Barisan Nasional supaya melompat ke Pakatan Rakyat. Habuannya: jawatan atau wang. Modus operandinya: perjumpaan dengan balaci Anwar, perhubungan telefon atau perjumpaan terus dengan Anwar. Balaci Anwar: Rahim Ghouse, Azmin dll

Anwar ke USA 25 Jun – mungkin beliau berharap dikenakan kuarantin selsema B.A.B.I.

Jurublog tertarik dengan posting terbaru pengadu kes Sodomi II, Mohd Saiful Bukhari di laman blog beliau. Menurut posting terbaru Saiful, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim telah merancang untuk bertolak ke Amerika Syarikat pada 25 Jun 2009, seminggu sebelum tarikh perbicaraan Sodomi II iaitu pada 1 Julai 2009.

Umum tahu Amerika Syarikat mencatatkan jumlah kes selsema A(H1N1)yang banyak, dan kerajaan Malaysia telah pun mengeluarkan nasihat supaya melewatkan perjalanan ke sana, sekiranya tiada urusan penting. Nampak gayanya Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim tidak menghiraukan nasihat tersebut (memang beliau tidak mahu ikut nasihat pun), dan lebih suka meliwatkan perjalananan ke sana daripada melewatkannya.

Kita masih belum tahu urusan Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim untuk ke sana. Mungkin beliau sengaja merancang ke sana dan merancang akan balik semula ke Malaysia sebelum 1 Julai 2009, supaya tidak dituduh takut dengan perbicaraan Sodomi II.

Tetapi dengan sebab adanya wabak selsema B.A.B.I. di Amerika, maka secara automatik, sekiranya beliau balik nanti, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim mungkin boleh dikenakan kuarantin kesihatan, dan ini akan menjadi alasan untuk menangguhkan sekali lagi perbicaraan kes Sodomi II.

Begitulah liciknya langkah Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim.

Sekiranya kerajaan menghalang beliau daripada ke luar negara, maka bermacam-macam tohmahan akan dilemparkan untuk memburukkan kerajaan Malaysia. Mungkin peguam kepada pengadu kes Sodomi II boleh mendapatkan perintah makamah untuk menghalang perjalanan Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim ke Amerika atas alasan wabak selsema B.A.B.I. Tetapi itu juga mungkin mengundang tohmahan buruk daripada Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim.

Tetapi mungkin Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim kan dengan sendirinya menangguhkan perjalanan beliau ke Amerika nanti. Mungkin dia pun takut terkena jangkitan selsema B.A.B.I. tersebut.

Cukuplah beliau sendiri yang dikatakan orang sebagai penyebar wabak penyakit demam politik B.A.B.I. yang menyebabkan ketidak tentuan politik di Malaysia sehingga melumpuhkan kerajaan negeri Perak, dan menyukarkan lagi hasrat Malaysia untuk menangani krisis ekonomi yang terus meruncing.

Memang seperti perangai Dajjal.

Anwar yakin PKR akan menang di Penanti – Akan guna untuk pilih calon TKM I

DUN Penanti terletak di dalam kawasan Parlimen Permatang Pauh – sebuah kubu kuat Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim dan PKR.

Jadi, apabila ADUN PKR dan bekas Timbalan Ketua Menteri I Pulau Pinang, Fairus dipaksa oleh Anwar untuk mengosongkan kerusi tersebut, maka Jurublog menjangkakan bahawa Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim ingin menggunakan peluang Pilihanraya Kecil kali ini untuk memilih calon ADUN dari PKR yang akan dinobatkan nanti sebagai TKM I bagi menggantikan Fairus.

Sebagai latarbelakang, pada Pilihanraya Umum ke 12 yang lalu, bekas PM Pak Lah telah menyerahkan pemilihan calon UMNO kepada menantu beliau, Khairy Jamaluddin dan konco-konco KJ di Tingkat 4 untuk diperakukan. Manifesto BN telah digubal oleh konco KJ, Ahmad Zaki, tanpa mendapat input dari kepimpinan tertinggi UMNO atau Majlis Tertinggi UMNO. Akibatnya, UMNO-BN kalah besar di beberapa negeri, termasuk di negeri Pak Lah sendiri, di mana kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang telah jatuh ke tangan Pakatan Rakyat dan DAP.

Kekalahan UMNO-BN sebenarnya tidak dijangkakan oleh DAP dan Pakatan Rakyat sendiri. Sentimen anti-KJ dan kebencian amat sangat terhadap UMNO menyebabkan calon BN tewas walaupun bertanding melawan ”tunggul kayu”. Sebab itulah terdapat ramai calon ”tangkap muat” yang digunakan oleh PKR untuk bertanding. Calon ”tangkap muat” ini termasuklah Fairus sendiri.

PKR memang ketandusan pemimpin dan calon yang berwibawa. Jadi apabila DAP menang besar di Pulau Pinang dan dapat membentuk kerajaan negeri, Fairus telah dicalonkan oleh Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim sebagai TKM I. Dan oleh kerana Fairus memang tidak berwibawa, dan terbawa-bawa perangai malasnya dengan tidak bertemu dengan rakyat, maka sebagai penjawat awam, beliau tidak dapat berfungsi dengan baik. Fairus akhirnya terjebak dengan tuduhan rasuah oleh SPRM.

Ada cerita yang mengatakan bahawa Fairus tersangkut kes rasuah tersebut hasil daripada konspirasi dalaman PKR. Jika itu benar, maka sahlah bahawa puak-puak PKR yang merupakan ahli serpihan UMNO cuba meneruskan perangai buruk mereka yang sama ketika mereka itu berada di dalam UMNO.

Dengan perletakan jawatan oleh Fairus, sebenarnya Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim boleh memilih calon TKM I dari kalangan ADUN PKR yang lain. Tetapi ternyata Anwar lebih mengetahui bahawa mereka itu semuanya tidak boleh pakai dan tidak berwibawa juga, sepertimana Fairus. Anwar juga cuba merasuah ADUN UMNO untuk melompat parti dan menyertai PKR, dengan menjanjikan jawatan TKM I. Itu pun nampak gayanya tidak makan, dan kerana Anwar takut kena marah sekali lagi dengan Raja Karpal Singh kerana menggalakkan taktik melompat parti.

Maka terpaksalah Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim memaksa Fairus meletakkan jawatan sebagai ADUN Penanti dengan menggunakan surat perletakan jawatan tanpa tarikh yang ditandatangani oleh semua calon PKR semasa Pilihanraya Umum tempohari.

Strategi Anwar adalah untuk menggunakan platform kempen pilihanraya kecil kali ini untuk mengulangi kononnya ia merupakan referendum rakyat terhadap kepimpinan PM Najib, mengulangi desakan retorik beliau untuk menghapuskan PPSMI yang diterajui oleh Mahathir dan mengapi-apikan semangat Hindu supaya mereka terus menentang kerajaan BN.

DAP pula akan menumpang sekaki semasa berkempen untuk mengampu diri dengan menceritakan kisah kucing (CAT) dan bermacam-macam kejayaan di Pulau Pinang, tanpa memberitahu bahawa kecemerlangan Pulau Pinang sebenarnya terhasil dari asas yang dibentuk di zaman pemerintahan Barisan Nasional, dan kerana pembinaan Jambatan Pulau Pinang semasa zaman Mahathir. Semasa pembinaan jambatan tersebut, DAP telah banyak mencaci dan memperburuk-burukkan kerajaan BN dengan menuduh pembinaan jambatan tersebut adalah pembaziran wang yang besar.

Tetapi, nampak gayanya, PM Najib sendiri memang siang-siang sudah mengaku akan kalah di Pilihanraya Kecil di Penanti. Maka sebab itulah PM Najib dan media perdana mengomongkan bahawa Pilihanraya Kecil yang sengaja diada-adakan oleh pembangkang dengan meletak jawatan adalah membazirkan wang rakyat, dan bermacam-macam lagi. Jika begitulah caranya, nampak gayanya, bilik gerakan jentera kempen BN akan tutup pukul 9 malam di Penanti.

Anwar perakui Nik Aziz, bukan Hadi, sebagai pemimpin tertinggi PAS

Jurublog tertarik untuk membincangkan banner kempen Pilihanraya Kecil DUN Bukit Selambau yang dihebahkan di anwaribrahimblog.com. Di banner tersebut terletak gambar-gambar Wan Azizah, Azizan, Anwar, Manikumar, Nik Aziz dan Lim Guan Eng.

Apakah kriteria yang diguna pakai bagi memilih mereka-mereka yang patut ditonjolkan di dalambanner tersebut? Adakah ianya berdasarkan kepimpinan tertinggi parti-parti di kalangan pembangkang?

Manikumar adalah calon PKR bagi pilihanraya kecil ini. Gambar beliau perlu ada.

Oleh kerana Azizan merupakan Menteri Besar Kedah (dan mungkin Pengerusi tidak rasmi Pakatan Rakyat Kedah), gambar beliau juga boleh dijustifikasikan.

Lim Guan Eng adalah bos besar DAP di peringkat pusat. Gambar beliau boleh dipertimbangkan (walaupun jauh diletak di sudut banner, macam junior partner PR).

Wan Azizah merupakan Presiden PKR. Walau pun berpangkat Presiden, beliau hanya merupakan pemegang tombak. Sebab itulah berada di tepi, setaraf dengan Lim Guan Eng yang dicop pemegang tombak oleh PR.

Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim, seperti biasa, suka enter frame. Gambar mesti nak di tengah, dan paling ke hadapan. Dia ini bukan Presiden atau ahli mana-mana parti DAP, PAS atau PKR. Tapi oleh kerana kemaruk nak jadi bos, digelar de facto leader. Patutnya kalau gambar Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim ini dah ada, tak payahlah lagi gambar bini tu.

Yang paling menghairankan ialah gambar Nik Aziz. Niz Aziz bukan Presiden PAS. Presiden PAS ialah Hadi Awang. Nik Aziz adalah Mursyidul Am PAS.

Adakah sekarang ini Anwar menganggap Nik Aziz sebagai pemimpin sebenar PAS? Adakah kerana Nik Aziz banyak mempertahankan hujah-hujah Anwar sebagai seperti penggunaan perkataan Allah bagi selain daripada Islam? Begitu juga dengan Kerajaan Uniti yang dicadangkan oleh Hadi Awang tetapi ditolak oleh Nik Aziz?

Memang begitulah lazimnya cara Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim bekerja dan berdakyah. Apa yang dibuatnya selalu mempunyai agenda jahatnya yang tersendiri.

Dengan menggunakan banner yang menampilkan Nik Aziz dan bukan Hadi Awang, Anwar ingin menunjukkan kecenderungan kepimpinan PAS yang dikehendakki oleh beliau sendiri. Malang sekali, ahli-ahli PAS sekarang ini hanya mengikut rentak Anwar.

Zaid Ibrahim: If truth be told, Anwar too can’t be PM

This is an extract of Zaid Ibrahim’s speech at the Rotary Club on 18 March 2009:
18. A prime minister must have the confidence of the majority of the rakyat. In order for this to be the case, his integrity must be beyond question; not only must he be such a person character, he must be seen to be such a person. The office of prime minister is one of great trust, he who holds that office cradles the nation in his palms.

Going by Zaid’s arguments, Brother Anwar Bin Ibrahim will definitely be out of Zaid’s equation as a person suitable to be the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Firstly, Brother Anwar Bin Ibrahim does not command the confidence of the majority of the people in Malaysia. In fact, I would consider his party as a junior partner in the loose DAP-PKR-PAS coalition called Pakatan Rakyat. He may have a lot of vocal supporters on the internet and through the influence of internet. He also enjoys the support of the hooligans on the street. But most of them are anti-establishment and actually have common dislike on the current state of UMNO and Barisan Nasional, and unfortunately choose PKR as an alternative.

Secondly, Brother Anwar Bin Ibrahim’s is NOT a person of integrity, and I do not see him to be a person with integrity.

Zaid’s speech contains a lot of innuendoes and allegations ala Raja Petra Kamaruddin. I actually get a feeling that he sourced most of his information through reading Malaysia Today and believing whatever were written there (including the commentaries), as the gospel truths.

Yes, Zaid is just another accuser.

Najib was never an accused person in the murder of Altantuya Shaaribu. But he has been already considered guilty in the murder case by Petra, Anwar, Gobind, others, and now, Zaid.

I can also implicate Brother Anwar Bin Ibrahim on some other things, and stamp a guilty verdict on Anwar.

Brother Anwar Bin Ibrahim has been cpnvicted of power abuse and corruption. And that is an undeniable fact. Anwar, the ex-convict, will certainly abuse his power again if he is back in the government.

During the UMNO election in 1993, when the late Tun Ghaffar Baba was the UMNO Deputy President, Anwar abused his power as the then Finance Minister to gather enough financial resources for bribery to defeat the incumbent for the post. It was especially apparent with the sudden change in support from the Sabah delegates from Ghaffar to Anwar during the fateful UMNO election.

Anwar continued his abuse of power when he was Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister to accumulate wealth and financial resources through his nominees and cronies. He had accumulated enough wealth and financial influence to challenge Mahathir for the UMNO Presidency and Prime Ministership when the Asian financial crisis struck, and some of his financial holdings through his cronies cracked. When Anwar was sacked and jailed, many of his cronies managed to flee overseas, and some still remain there with their ill-gotten wealth. I was even related to the common phrase among Anwar’s cronies: that they were holding the wealth on behalf of Pak Sheikh (a codename for Anwar).

I was also related to stories that whenever Anwar touched down into United States during his tenure as Deputy Prime Minister, he will be AWOL for a few hours without his ADCs, and will re-appear at the hotel hours later. Conspiracy theorists related to me of Anwar’s sexual tendencies and the supply of the same by the Americans.

When his alleged sexual romps were under investigation, Anwar abused his powers to pressure the police to stop the investigation. I am therefore not surprise if he is currently pressuring the police and the AG office to stop the Sodomy II from going further. Based on the accounts of the Judges, Anwar’s conviction in respect of Sodomy I was overturned just because of technicality of the charge, not because it never happened.

Karpal Singh has a lot of dark secrets on Anwar. That’s why Karpal dared to say that Anwar is indeed an immoral person. Anwar never vilified Karpal for that statement, because there must be truth to it. Anwar would never vilify Karpal for anything, because Anwar is afraid that Karpal will spill more beans.

Even Raja Petra Kamaruddin has a lot of dark secrets on Anwar. Petra once wrote about the mystery of the missing coffers for Free Anwar Campaign. The story was never followed-up by Petra, presumably because he had been given his fair share of the bargain.

Anwar does have the oratory skill and charm to gather support. I am not sure whether he is in fact formally a member of PKR, a party in which he is the Advisor a.k.a. Ketua Umum. Some say that Anwar is actually not a PKR party member. But this non-member is the most powerful person in the party, and more powerful compared to the PKR party President. That’s why PKR can afford to limit the term for the President post. Anwar will never become their President, and as Ketua Umum, he will not be subjected to any term limit.

So, Anwar the party-less individual now has another party-less individual by the name of Zaid Ibrahim, as his friend. Both were from UMNO. And by remaining party-less, they can claim their place back in the UMNO rank if opportunity arises in the future. They will claim to the UMNO people that they had never turn their back against UMNO, by not joining the rival parties during their period outside UMNO.

Zaid Ibrahim himself has been found guilty of money politics in the last UMNO elections, when he won the Kota Bharu divisional head post. In fact, Zaid failed to receive enough nomination for the Kota Bharu divisional post during the current UMNO election process, possibly because he did not resort to any money politics. The truth is that, Zaid has no grassroot support in Kota Bharu. Without any financial incentive, nobody will consider and vote for Zaid to represent them for the Kota Bharu divisional post.

After his apparent failure to get support for the Kota Bharu divisional post, Zaid maneuvered himself out of the Cabinet. And once he was out of the Cabinet, Zaid started his vilification against UMNO and the current government ministers.

By openly speaking against the appointment of Najib as Malaysia’s next Prime Minister, Zaid has done a great disservice to the nation. His speech has been widely quoted initially through the alternative media, and picked up by the international media to discredit Malaysia and the incoming Prime Minister.

Brother Anwar Bin Ibrahim would be smiling with a glee by having another goon on his side. He may not of course realise that Zaid Ibrahim is also implying, in the same speech, that if truth be told, Anwar too can’t be PM.

Raja Petra, Anwar Ibrahim dan Duit Kutipan Free Anwar Campaign (FAC)

Umum tahu bahawa apabila Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim dipenjarakan kerana tuduhan meliwat dan rasuah, Raja Petra dan puak Reformasi telah melancarkan Free Anwar Campaign (FAC).

Raja Petra sendiri terlibat secara langsung dalam mengendalikan FAC dan beliau merupakan Pengarah FAC.

Kita tidak dapat mengesahkan bagaimana FAC dibiayai dan berapa banyak pembayaran yang diterima oleh Raja Petra bagi memastikan FAC mencapai objektifnya.

Selepas Anwar dibebaskan, Raja Petra beralih dan membuka Malaysia Today. Kebanyakan artikel-artikel Malaysia Today bertujuan memburukkan kerajaan, dan kadangkala orang Melayu dan Islam.

Untuk membolehkan seseorang membuat komentar pula, mereka perlu mendaftar, dan pendaftaran selalunya diberi hanya kepada mereka yang pro-pembangkang. Jurublog sendiri tidak berjaya mendapat kelulusan labisman (salah seorang pengendali Malaysia Today) untuk mendaftar sebagai ahli komentar Malaysia Today.

Sebab itulah hampir kesemua maklumbalas yang diterima oleh Malaysia Today adalah anti-kerajaan, anti-Melayu, anti-Islam dan melampau hujahnya. Itulah yang dikira oleh Raja Petra sebagai freedom of speech. Semoga beliau cepat sedar yang beliau juga menanggung dosa besar dengan membiarkan orang kafir mempermainkan Islam dan Allah di dalam komentar-komentar Malaysia Today.

Berbalik kepada Free Anwar Campaign, Jurublog masih lagi menyimpan dua artikel yang ditulis sendiri oleh Raja Petra yang ”menjelaskan” kedudukan kewangan FAC.

Menurut artikel-artikel tersebut, FAC memang ada berjaya mendapat bantuan kewangan daripada penderma-penderma yang bersempati dengan perjuangan FAC. Kita tidak tahu berapa jumlah sebenar yang berjaya dikutip oleh FAC, atau atas nama FAC. Terdapat juga hasil kutipan dana lain sebagai tanda simpati kepada Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim dengan menggunakan nama yang lain, atau menggunakan nama Anwar sendiri.

Tetapi duit tabungan FAC tidak dikendalikan oleh Raja Petra.

Sebaliknya, duit kutipan tersebut dikendalikan oleh mereka-mereka yang rapat dengan Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim. Raja Petra (di dalam artikel tersebut) mendakwa bahawa beliau langsung tidak menerima apa-apa bayaran bagi mengendalikan FAC.

Jadi, siapakah Gang of Four yang didakwa oleh Raja Petra sebagai mereka yang bertanggungjawab dalam mengumpul dan memakan duit FAC? Adakah duit kutipan tersebut sebenarnya dianggap oleh keluarga Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim sebagai milik mereka dan digunakan untuk kegunaan peribadi? Mana pula ketelusan yang digenbar-gemburkan oleh PKR selama ini? Mengapa kita tidak pernah mendapat apa-apa kenyataan balas daripada Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim mengenai dakwaan Raja Petra? Atau adakah Raja Petra telah dibayar oleh mereka-mereka yang berkenaan sebagai upah untuk menutup pekong yang terbuka?

Jurublog telah cuba untuk mendapatkan semula artikel-artikel tersebut dari laman Malaysia Today, tetapi archieve tahun 2006 telah luput.


ARTIKEL PERTAMA

A crisis of credibility
Raja Petra Kamarudin

Let there be no misunderstanding about this. Politics is about the attainment of power, plain and simple. If anyone tells you otherwise, then he or she is either a bad politician (in that he or she does not understand politics) or a good politician (in that he or she is lying through his or her teeth).

Now, don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that lying is wrong. Okay, as far as religion and morals are concerned it is wrong. But lying, or what I would call ‘telling your version of the truth’, is very much part and parcel of the political game. A good politician, meaning Machiavellian politician, must master the art of ‘lying’, or spin doctoring (that is giving the masses your version of the truth).

But then you must know how to lie. ‘Zam’ is hopeless. He is such a novice that he trips over his own lies and digs a deeper hole than the one he is trying to cover up. President Clinton is however superb. He denied all along he told Monica to lie. When cornered, he said, it is true he did not tell her to lie. Okay, maybe he told her to bend a little, but never to lie (baring in Malay). Alright, maybe it did not quite happen like that. But then you must always have a fallback when your lies are discovered.

Anyway, back to the issue of the day. Firstly, politics is about the attainment of power. It is not as many politicians will tell you: to serve the people. But this is what politicians will tell you: “I want to serve the people”. Sure, that’s what they all say. And that is what I meant by ‘lying’. Secondly, politics is about perception. It is not what you are that is important. It is how people perceive you that counts (Of course, as far as religion and morality are concerned this is not honest. And that is why religious or moral people should not become politicians; because they have to mislead and fool the people with false perceptions).

You can be the biggest slime-ball, but if people perceive you as a saint, then that is all that matters. On the other hand, if you are a saint but people perceive you as a nut, then you would not go far in politics.

Anwar is perceived as an Islamic leader. In fact, until today, many non-Muslims still fear Anwar because of his fiery Islamic past. Many still refer to him as an ‘Islamic firebrand’. Whether this is true or not is not the issue. This is not important in politics. What is important is that he carries the image of an ‘Islamic leader’, and some view him as a radical Islamic leader.

Dr Mahathir Mohamad is Machiavellian. He recognised Anwar’s strong Islamic image and he knew that if Anwar had gone to PAS and eventually took over the leadership of the party, as the late Fadzil Nor had planned, this would be bad news for Umno. So he agreed, at Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah’s prodding, to allow Anwar into Umno.

Mahathir’s strategy was two-pronged. Firstly, he would deny PAS Anwar’s leadership. Next, he would assist Anwar to climb the Umno ladder, first as the Youth Leader and later as one of the Vice Presidents, so that he could use or ride on Anwar (‘kudakan Anwar’, as the Malays would say) for his own political gain. But by the time Anwar became the Deputy President -- again with Mahathir’s help who instructed Shahidan Kassim to lead a revolt of Umno Parliamentarians to pass an unofficial ‘vote of no confidence’ against Ghafar Baba in Parliament -- he became too big for his shoes. He thought that his meteoric rise up the Umno ladder was because of his ‘strength’ and he decided to pitch this strength against his ‘creator’. As they say, the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. And Mahathir took back what he gave Anwar, his political career, and Anwar fell flat on his face.

For his ‘service’, Shahidan was rewarded with the appointment as the Perlis Menteri Besar and the takeover of the privatised Bernas, an extremely lucrative cash cow by virtue of the rice monopoly and rice import permits it holds (now you know why rice in Malaysia costs more than in Thailand).

No one had any reservations that Mahathir made Anwar. Anwar was not a self-made man as he visualised himself to be. Somehow, only Anwar did not seem to realise this. Or maybe he thought that that was all in the past and now he is already his own man -- like the Space Shuttle that scuttles its ‘mother ship’ and moves forward on its own steam once it reaches outer space. Mahathir gave one tug of the carpet below Anwar’s feet and that was the end of him. He never saw it coming. He never even felt it coming. It is like when a Samurai warrior’s sword lands on your neck. You can actually walk a few more steps before you fall down and die. You may have lost your head but your body takes a few seconds to realise you are dead before it plays the role of the deceased.

Everyone is clear what Mahathir is. Either you love him or you hate him. Either you perceive him as the most corrupted Prime Minister in Malaysian history or you perceive him as a giant amongst men who gave pride to this nation and placed Malaysia onto the world map. No longer is Malaysia ‘near Singapore’ or ‘south of Thailand’ like how one would have to explain where Malaysia is to the uninformed westerner in the days before Mahathir took over as Prime Minister. Whether for the right or wrong reasons, Mahathir made Malaysia famous.

But what is Anwar? Is he an Islamic firebrand? Is he a moderate Muslim? Is he a liberal ‘lover of the West’? Is he an educationist? Is he a capitalist? Is he the champion of farmers, fishermen and the homeless? Is he opposed to corruption, nepotism and cronyism? Is he the biggest benefactor of cronies and in his time many became filthy rich? Is he all the above? Or is he none of the above? Yes, which is the real Anwar? Will the real Anwar please stand up!

You can hate Mahathir or you can love him. One thing you are sure though, you know what he is. The problem with Anwar is; it is very difficult to decide whether to love him or hate him because you don’t really know what he is to be able to love him or hate him.

Anwar, for all intents and purposes, is suffering a crisis of credibility. He lacks credibility. In fact, he never did have any and he became popular and achieved great heights merely because he was Mahathir’s blue-eyed boy -- no different from the Khairy Jamaluddin situation today. Many do not actually love Khairy. But they know that he is the Prime Minister’s son-in-law and the most trusted adviser, so they all want to hang onto his coattails -- though they don’t like him.

Anwar has been released from prison almost 20 months now. But he is yet to make his move. And this is affecting his credibility. What in heaven’s name is holding him back? Simple! Money! You need money to play politics in Malaysia, or anywhere in the world for that matter. But money is something Anwar does not have yet. And the reason for this is because of the crisis of credibility that he and his party, Party Keadilan Rakyat, are suffering from.

It is not that they never had money in the beginning. They did. But the sources have all dried up. Generous donors who once used to give no longer want to do so. And this is because they no longer know whether the money is being put to good use and for the intended reason or whether the money ‘leaked’ along the way and has been ‘hijacked’.

This is not a new problem or something that cropped up only recently. It has been an inherent problem since the party was formed in 1999. Much money has flowed into the pockets of the party leaders. But it stayed in their pockets and never filtered down to the ground. In the meantime, those on the ground have had to sell off their assets to finance party activities. Some had to borrow from loan sharks (ah long) to finance the last election. Many went into debt and until today are still hocked up to the eyeballs. Some are facing bankruptcy. Some used up all their life savings and pension fund (EPF) and now have to face the remaining years of their life with no guarantee of how they are going to feed their families.

The horror stories are endless. Suffice to say, many sacrificed and suffered financial ruin because of their commitment to the cause and to ensure that the party moves forward.

As Hanafiah Man, one-time keADILan Youth executive secretary and chief editor of the party newspaper, said, “I don’t mind if we are all poor and suffering. But when we at the bottom suffer while those at the top live a life of luxury, then this hurts.”

Hanafiah and the acting youth leader (during the time Ezam Mohd Nor was in the Kajang Prison), Zahid Md Arip, took the party to task on this matter during the party’s annual general meeting in Sungai Petani. They took the floor to slam the leaders for not being sincere to those at the bottom who are struggling and sacrificing for the party. They pointed at the leaders assembled onstage and warned them that the party’s youth movement will not tolerate leaders who receive money in the name of the party but use it for personal purposes. If the money was collected in the name of the party and for party purposes, then the money should be filtered down to the ground to finance party activities.

Many donors were shocked when they learnt that the party was broke. Millions had been donated to the party, they said. How can the party be broke? The telephone bill went unpaid and the telephone line got cut numerous times. The water connection also got cut because of years of unpaid bills and for about two years those working in the party headquarters had to visit the public toilet in the car park to answer the call of nature. Suppliers’ bills were not paid and some even threatened to bankrupt the party if they did not receive their payments. No printers would take party jobs unless one of the leaders personally guaranteed the debt. Invariably, the guarantor would end up paying off the debt the party could not service.

Whenever the party president, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, was confronted with this and when it was pointed out that it is public knowledge that many had donated generous sums to the party, she replied that one must differentiate between ‘personal’ donations and party donations. No doubt some people had donated some money, but this was meant for the family and not for the party.

Eventually, Hanafiah, Zahid and ten other youth leaders got so exasperated they decided to resign from the party en bloc, as did the party information chief, Ruslan Kassim. Even publicly chiding the party leaders during the annual general assembly about the mismanagement of party funds did not seem to work. They wrote off the party entirely and called it a day. Of course, the official spin is that these are traitors who were bought over by Umno. But they -- and many others who shared their view but decided to still remain in the party nevertheless -- did not see it that way. If there was any betrayal, it was the party leaders who had betrayed the members in the way they mismanaged the money donated to the party.

One day, around August 2004, one of Anwar’s lawyers called me aside and asked me, “How much money has the Free Anwar Campaign (FAC) received from donors?” Not one cent, I replied. Okay, Wan Azizah did donate RM1,000 at the launch of the FAC in August 2000 and Anwar’s brother gave RM2,000 once in the five years that the FAC was in operation. Another supporter donated a notebook computer to replace the one that was confiscated by the police in March 2001. But that was about it.“

But there are those who claim to be directors of the FAC who have received a lot of donations from all over the world. Don’t tell me they did not give you anything.”

“With God as my witness, not a cent,” I replied.

“What the hell!” the lawyer said. “They are using FAC’s name to collect money. If they are not passing you any, then you might as well just close the FAC. Why let them use the FAC to make money?”

“I will close it the day Anwar walks free and not a day earlier,” I told the lawyer.

“What if Anwar remains in jail 15 years? Are you going to keep going for 15 years and allow these people to use you to make money?”

“I suppose so,” I replied.

“You are so stupid. People are using you. They are making money while you are suffering.”

I in fact already knew this even before the lawyer informed me about it. Earlier, one of the PAS leaders told me he met one of the FAC directors in the UK. He was with a Malaysian millionaire who now lives there -- a man who became a millionaire during the time Anwar was in power. The PAS leader mentioned the name of the FAC ‘director’ and the Malaysian millionaire, both whom I knew.

The so-called FAC ‘director’ is a member of Anwar’s inner circle and the man who runs Anwar’s propaganda unit plus his personal website, anwaribrahim.com.

“What were they talking about?” I asked the PAS leader without hinting that the FAC director was in no way representing FAC in that meeting with the Malaysian millionaire. “About some funding for FAC,” said the PAS leader. “That was what I managed to pick up as they did not speak openly in front of me.”

So I knew even before Anwar’s lawyer informed me about it that ‘certain people’ were collecting funds in the name of FAC. And I even knew who they and the donors were.

One day, I received a phone call from the United States asking me to confirm whether it is true that keADILan would need a lot of money to be able to win the next general election (which was held in 2004). “Of course,” I replied, quite surprised at this sudden question. “That goes without saying. But who told you this?” I asked the American chap at the other end of the line.

The American then informed me he just had a meeting with four keADILan party leaders to discuss funding for the party to face the next election. And he told me who the four were.

I was not upset about the party soliciting election funds. But the man who phoned me was a FAC contact, not a party contact (and I never asked for or received one cent from him in all the time I knew him). So clearly they were using the FAC network to collect funds for the party and I was being kept in the dark. But my FAC contact in the US would not consider any funding unless I confirmed that the four were legitimate and not fakes. I informed the American that the four are actually members of Anwar’s inner circle (not the one who met the Malaysian millionaire in the UK) and therefore extremely legitimate.

I knew only one man could have introduced these four to our US contact. And this would be my fellow FAC director in Australia. I immediately phoned Australia and asked the chap there whether he knew about the four party leaders who were now in the US to negotiate funding for the party. “Four?” he replied. “I know about the three. Who is the fourth?” I ran through the names of the four but did not question him any further on what was going on. From his reaction it was apparent that he was the one who had arranged the meeting.

These two incidences were those that were personally brought to my attention. There were of course many more such cases which were related to me through third party sources. And most know who these people are -- both donors and recipients -- but no one wants to rock the boat by talking about them. Those who know and could no longer tolerate the shenanigans quietly left the party without revealing the real reason for their resignations. And the party lost many of its leaders over the years from 1999 till recently when Datin Saidatul Badru Said Keruak also resigned.

At the last public rally (ceramah) Anwar addressed in Sungai Buloh recently, he lambasted those he said who expect money or payment before they would do any work. If you are not prepared to sacrifice but want to be paid before you will work, then we might as well all just go home and forget everything and allow the present government to rule till doomsday, argued Anwar.

Anwar just does not get it. It is not that people want to be paid before they will work for the party. They are quite prepared to struggle and sacrifice, even spend their own money for the good of the cause. What they do not want is to be made suckers. They hear about the money flowing into the party leaders’ pockets and remaining there. This is what they are fighting against, corruption. And then they find their own leaders no better than those they wish to replace. Why bother to replace them then? Might as well, as Anwar says, let them rule forever.

Parti Keadilan Rakyat’s future lies in it getting sufficient funding. As it stands now, that would be most difficult. Many who once gave now know that the money has been mismanaged and they no longer want to be suckers. This is the huge crisis of credibility that Anwar and his party are facing. How Anwar is going to overcome this is not known yet at this stage. Anwar is heading international agencies whose job is to ensure transparency and good governance. Charity, as they say, starts at home. Back at home, in Anwar’s own party, there is a need for transparency and good governance. How does one preach honesty when one’s own honesty is being questioned?

As what one of the party leaders said, Mao had his Gang of Four who brought about his downfall. Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has his Gang of Four as well, also known as the Four-Ks (Khairy, Kamaluddin, Kalimullah and Kak Endon, now deceased), who may also bring about his downfall. And Anwar too has his own Gang of Four. And it is this Gang of Four which is causing much unhappiness and an exodus from the party. Anwar will have to choose between his Gang of Four and the future of the party. As it stands now, the Gang of Four seems to be Anwar’s favoured lot. And this could mean sayonara for Parti Keadilan Rakyat.

Politics, politics, politics
Raja Petra Kamarudin

One of the previous Italian Ambassadors to Malaysia once said that Italian politics is very complex. I mean, just read Julius Caesar to understand what he means. It seems, according to the Ambassador, Italy has had 40 governments in almost as many years. That is how complex Italian politics is. Nevertheless, added the Ambassador, how complicating Italian politics may be, they still can’t beat Malaysia. Malaysian politics is even more complex. The Past-President of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) told me once that Malay politics is very ‘matured’, not like Chinese politics. Chinese politics is ‘rough’, he explained, while Malay politics is very refined and polished.

I suppose both the Italian Ambassador and the MCA President are right. It is not easy to comprehend Malay politics as much as you may think you are able to read it correctly. What you see is not always what you get. But then maybe this is because the Chinese do Kungfu, which believes in a direct hit to the jugular with one strike to end the fight. Malay politics, however, is fashioned after Silat, which is plenty of dancing and circling before one moves in on the opponent. Even then, sometimes the strike never comes, especially if the Silat is done during a ceremony, which would be only ‘show Silat’.

One of my Chinese classmates from secondary school, Teh Yim Seng (don’t where he has disappeared to since), told me a joke back in 1966, the days before the race riots of May 1969 when ‘racial’ jokes were not yet considered ‘sensitive’.

“When you see one Chinaman,” said Yim Seng, “He would set up a business. When you see two Chinamen, they would set up an association. And when you see three Chinamen, they would set up a Mah Jong table and gamble.”

“When you see one Indian,” added Yim Seng, “He would drink. When you see two Indians, they would form a union. And when you see three Indians, they would fight.”

Then came Yim Seng’s punch-line: “When you see one Malay, he would play politics. When you see two Malays, they would play politics. And when you see three Malays, they would play politics.”

Yes, very racial indeed if you go by today’s standards. But in those days, whether you are Chinese, Indian or Malay, we would all roar with laughter at this very accurate reflection of Malaysian life 40 years ago. Hmm....come to think of it, has anything changed in 40 years?

Well, as my late mother was fond of saying, “Many a true word is said in jest.”

Malays need politics like a fish needs water. You can take the Malay out of the kampong, but you can’t take the kampong politics out of the Malay. If you want to kill the Malays it is very easy really; just ban politics and the Malays would wilt (layu) and die. Maybe that is why Malays are called Melayu (wilting).

During the early days of the Reformasi Movement in 1998, one of the chaps in our clandestine meeting that was plotting the demonstrations all over Kuala Lumpur said that since he and his wife got involved in Reformasi they have been having a better sex life. It seems they had become hornier. Well, who says one cannot get an orgasm through politics?

Yes, politics can act as an aphrodisiac. So those who face ‘problems’ should get involved in politics, in particular in movements out to topple the government, and become a stud again.

Okay, without revealing too much about my own sex life, can all those who are puzzled as to why I am so passionate about opposing the powers-that-be now understand what drives me? What? You thought it was all about human rights, free speech, justice, and all that crap? Well, that too I suppose. Anyway, I think I had better change the subject before I get a PG18 rating.

The expected happened. As soon as word broke that Malaysia Today was hosting Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to a dialogue, and even before the dialogue proper could happen, I received many phone calls from all and sundry. Many of these callers had either not phoned me in a long time or had never phoned me in my entire life. All of a sudden my phone would not stop ringing.

The Top Ten questions these callers asked were:

Who is paying for the event?
Who is sponsoring Malaysia Today?
Where do we get our money from?
Has Mahathir ‘bought’ me?
Why am I doing this?
Did they ‘turn me over’ during my ISA detention of 2001?
Do I now believe Anwar is guilty of sodomy?
Am I sulking (merajuk) because Anwar does not care about me anymore?
Is this a gimmick to promote Malaysia Today?
Is Mahathir using Malaysia Today or is Malaysia Today using Mahathir?

Notice that the top four questions all relate to money? These are the most ‘popular’ questions. The insinuation is: we must be doing this only because we are being paid a lot of money to do it.

How insulting. And I just fly off the handle when insulted. If there is one thing I cannot tolerate and will not compromise on is insolence. My wife can testify to the fact that I go berserk when confronted with biadap (insolent) individuals. I don’t know why, but somehow I can take most things in my stride, even solitary confinement. However, when someone is insolent towards me, I tend to retaliate with a most pompous and indignant stance. Okay, be warned, I did not start this, they did, and I am not about to let them off lightly -- even at the risk of being accused of being overly emotional.

I wonder why no one asked me these questions, or at least the ‘top four’ questions, back in 2000 when I launched and headed the Free Anwar Campaign (FAC). FAC was my fulltime job and I travelled the length and breadth of Malaysia, plus to the United States, in my campaign to spread the word. But no one was concerned then about where I got my money from, how I financed the FAC, or whether, since I had no income-generating job, I was able to feed my family.

I eventually had to send some of my kids to the UK because I could no longer afford to support them. Since I was born in the UK and therefore had Right of Abode to the UK for the next two generations, my kids could work in the UK plus get free education. Without Right of Abode they would not be allowed to work and it would cost them about RM100,000 a year each to enter university, living expenses included. And I have five kids mind you. Now, not only could they work in the UK and get to go to school free, but they can also enjoy benefits and receive all sorts of financial aid from the UK government.

It broke my wife’s heart to have to part with her kids but she realised it was for the better. Being ‘unemployed’ (since as the Director of the FAC I earned no salary), there was no way we could support them and send them to university. And it would be five years before I could get my hands on my EPF savings. Even then, my meagre EPF savings would only last a year if I used it to finance my kids’ education. As it is, according to the EPF, most retirees finish their savings within three years after they retire if they depend solely on their savings to finance their retirement. Your EPF savings is just not enough to last till you die if you live another ten or twenty years after you retire. But if I die before I reach 60, then the problem would solve itself, though that would mean I die broke and would leave nothing for my wife to continue her life with if she outlives me a few more years.

Anyway, that is my problem and no one else’s. But no one asked me all these questions then. It was of no concern to anyone whether my unemployed status and my fulltime non-income generating job as the Director of the FAC was a financial burden on me. In spite of that, I stayed on until the last day, 2 September 2004, when Anwar was finally released and saw freedom. Only then did I ‘officially’ relinquish my post as the Director of the FAC. And I never sent Anwar Ibrahim or his family a bill for the many years work I did. Even if I just calculate the ‘lost’ salary on the job my wife and I resigned from so that I can head the FAC fulltime, which was RM7,500 per month, Anwar owes me RM450,000. And I am not including the other expenses, such as travelling all over Malaysia, or else the bill would easily come to RM600,000.

When Anwar was finally released, and therefore my job as the Director of the FAC came to an end, no one from Anwar’s family phoned me to say thank you. Well, to be fair, Anwar did shake my hand at 5.30pm on 4 September 2004 and he did say thank you. His brother-in-law, Pak Lang, also told me that the FAC has done a great service to Anwar and he attributes Anwar’s release to the efforts of the FAC. I told him that even if the FAC did contribute in any way it was a small contribution and not the only contributor. Many other factors must also be taken into consideration such as Anwar would never have seen freedom if Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi did not wish for it to happen.

I promised my wife I would never bring this matter up as it goes against Malay culture to do so. We did this not for the money, argued my wife, but to see justice done. Yes, I agree, and I promised her the matter rests and we would never raise it ever. But now I have to break that promise to my wife. I toiled for years with no salary and without grumbling about it. But I host Mahathir to just ONE event and they raise the issue of money, suspect that I have been paid by Mahathir, ask who is financing me, and much more, right down to the allegation that I have been bought off, sold out, ‘turned’, etc.

Okay, if they want to talk about money, then let’s talk about money. And I now ask them: who paid me or financed me when I headed the FAC all those years?

Actually, that was supposed to have been the first and only event Malaysia Today organises for Mahathir. However, seeing that it has attracted so much controversy, I think I will organise a few more just to rub it in to the critics that I do what I want and no one is going to tell me what I can and cannot do. Hey, I am a loose cannon aren’t I and loose cannons are supposed to be like this are they not? And loose cannons just love a good fight and presently it appears like Mahathir is the only one giving the government a run for its money. The opposition, Anwar included, seems to have gone to sleep.

Do my comments sound too harsh? Hey, this column is called No Holds Barred and no holds barred must sound harsh. If not it will not be no holds barred.

Pemimpin dan Penyokong PKR memang tidak berdisiplin

Itulah intipati kenyataan yang dibuat oleh pemimpin tertinggi DAP, Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang yang juga Setiausaha Agong DAP, Lim Guan Eng.

Kerajaan DAP Pulau Pinang memang tidak berkenan dengan wakil PKR yang merupakan Timbalan Ketua Menteri di negeri tersebut. Tapi apakan daya, itulah calon paling kurang keburukannya berbanding dengan ADUN-ADUN PKR yang lain. Kalau hendak turun padang berjumpa dengan penyokong PKR pun susah, macamana nak mengharapkan Mamat yang seorang tu untuk menjaga kepentingan orang Melayu Pulau Pinang? Itulah juga mungkin sebabnya ada cubaan untuk merebut ADUN UMNO yang pernah bertanding melawan Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim supaya berpaling tadah dan masuk Pakatan. Mungkin dia boleh jadi Timbalan Ketua Menteri yang kurang bermasalah berbanding dengan Timbalan yang sedia ada.

Sebelum ada PKR, pilihanraya di Malaysia berjalan dengan berdisiplin dan tanpa perlu kehadiran polis yang ramai untuk menjaga ketenteraman awam. Tetapi sejak adanya PKR pimpinan Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim, budaya merusuh Anwar diserapkan di dalam tatacara kempen-kempen mereka. Ianya berlaku semasa pilihanraya kecil di Ijok. Ianya berlaku semasa pilihaanraya umum bulan Mac 2008 yang lalu. Dan yang paling ketara, insiden-insiden yang tidak diingini banyak benar berlaku semasa pilihanraya kecil di Permatang Pauh.

Kebanyakan calon PKR menang semasa pilihanraya yang lalu kerana kemarahan pengundi terhadap Barisan Nasional, dan bukan kerana sukakan PKR. Sebab itulah jurukamera sambilan yang baru balik dari Hong Kong pun boleh menang. Bila jadi MP, masih lagi dengan perangai kebudak-budakkannya dengan mengambil gambar sesuka hati di Parlimen. Bila bercakap di majlis rasmi pun, masih tidak fasih Bahasa Inggerisnya. Bahasa Melayu beliau pulak lagi hancur. Mengetahui akan kelemahan ketara beliau sendiri, MP yang seorang ini dengan senang hati menawarkan kerusi Parlimennya kepada Anwar untuk dikosongkan supaya Anwar dapat bertanding kerusi Parlimen. Tetapi Anwar takut untuk bertanding di Lembah Kelang. Anwar lebih rela mengekalkan budak jongos itu untuk mewakili rakyat di Parlimen. Lebih baik Anwar bertanding di lubuk sendiri daripada memperjudikan nasib di Lembah Kelang.

Ahli-ahli dan penyokong-penyokong Hindraf pula menggunakan platform PKR untuk bertanding semasa pilihanraya umum yang lalu. Hindraf merupakan pelampau ugama yang cuba menggunakan platform politik. Orang India yang sudah mual dengan perangai Samy Vellu dan konco-konconya, terus sahaja memangkah PKR. Apabila PKR berjaya menerajui Selangor (satu-satunya negeri di bawah pimpinan PKR), maka puaka-puaka Hindraf ini mula menuntut itu dan ini. Kononnya PKR perlu membalas jasa baik kaum India kerana telah menyokong PKR semasa pilihanraya. Yang terbaru, cuba menggertak (ala Anwar) untuk beramai-ramai keluar PKR kerana tidak bersetuju dengan keputusan kerajaan PKR Selangor untuk memindahkan Stesen Bas di Klang. Yang hairannya, yang masuk berpiket di TV, semuanya buah manggis. Belacan tidak ada yang berpiket pulak.

Memang pemimpin dan penyokong PKR tidak berdisiplin. Baca sahajalah komentar-komentar yang dibuat di Malaysia Today dan anwaribrahimblog.com. Itulah orang yang diharap oleh Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim untuk membantu beliau untuk memmerintah Malaysia. Hancurlah negara kita nanti.

Pada pandangan Lim Guan Eng, kerajaan boneka DAP di Perak perlu kekal. Walaupun Menteri Besar ahli PAS, beliau fasih berbahasa Cina. Beliau ini dapat membaca dan menerima bulat-bulat tuntutan-tuntutan kaum Cina di Perak. Senanglah DAP menjalankan konsep Malaysian Malaysia mereka di Perak. Tanah hakmilik sementara 99 tahun tidak perlu. Yang diminta dan terus diberi kepada kaum Cina ialah tanah hakmilik sementara 999 tahun atau hakmilik kekal. Kita masih menunggu statistik sebenar pemberian tanah kepada perkampungan baru di Perak. Berapa orang dan peratusan yang diberi kepada kaum Cina. Berapa pula keluasan tanah yang terlibat, dan harga semasa tanah-tanah tersebut.

Jadi, apabila keputusan yang dibuat oleh Menteri Besar Perak yang pandai berbahasa Cina itu disanggah oleh beberapa orang pemimpin PKR di Perak, Lim Guan Eng terus bagi amaran kepada Anwar. Barulah penyokong PKR tahu bahawa yang sebenarnya, Anwar ni bukanlah kuat sangat kuasanya. Sampaikan DAP pun boleh kasi warning.

Sepertimana yang Jurublog tuliskan sebelum ini, PAS dan DAP memang mempunyai ideologi politik yang jauh bertentangan. PAS wujud kerana hudud, dan akan bermati-matian memperjuangkan hudud. DAP pula wujud kerana konsep Malaysian Malaysia, dan membantah hudud sehingga mereka mati dan dilangkah mayatnya. PAS dan DAP secara logiknya tidak akan dapat bersatu. Itiulah gunanya Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim a.k.a Boy George yang mendendangkan lagu Karma Chameleon. Chameleon ini boleh bertukar warna mengikut kesesuaian persekitarannya. Chameleon ini boleh mencantumkan PAS dan DAP dalam satu konspirasi pakatan.

Tetapi, apabila Lim Guan Eng sudah berani memberi amaran kepada Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim, kita pun gusar dengan kepimpinan beliau. Sebelum ini, Karpal telah pun mendesak Anwar untuk menjelaskan pendirian PKR mengenai hudud. Sampai hari ini, Anwar masih lagi diam membisu. Mungkin beliau takut jadi orang pertama yang dihadapkan ke mahkamah di bawah undang-undang hudud. Tapi kenapa pula Anwar nak takut? Bukankan Anwar di pihak yang benar dan tidak perlu sumpah muhabalah?
