KUALA LUMPUR, 20 Nov (Hrkh) - Jika Timbalan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak meneruskan polisi-polisi yang dilaksanakan oleh Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, sia-sia sahaja peralihan kuasa, kata bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Malah, beliau menjangka, para pengundi akan terus menolak Umno dan Barisan Nasional (BN) jika para pemimpin barunya meneruskan polisi-polisi hari ini dan tidak bersungguh-sungguh memerangi rasuah dan politik wang.
"Najib menyatakan bahawa beliau akan meneruskan Islam Hadhari. Ini bukan petanda yang baik kerana ia menunjukkan peralihan yang berlaku hanya peralihan bentuk tubuh badan sahaja, bukan polisi-polisi.
"Para pengundi tidak suka polisi-polisi yang dibawa oleh Abdullah, oleh itu mereka akan terus menolak Umno. Oleh itu, peralihan itu sia-sia sahaja," The Star memetik beliau berkata dalam ucapan kepada para pemimpin dan ahli Umno, bekas-bekas menteri dan kumpulan-kumpulan pelajar Melayu di Yayasan Kepimpinan Perdana.
Dr Mahathir berkata, ketika Umno memerlukan pemimpin yang berani untuk mengatasi masalah-masalah yang dihadapi oleh parti, Najib hanya menjaga air muka Abdullah sahaja.
"Kita perlu berfikir sama ada orang yang mengambil alih kuasa dari Perdana Menteri akan membersihkan Umno dari mereka mereka yang kini terlibat dengan rasuah.
"Jika beliau berat sebelah dan tidak berlaku pembersihan, rakyat akan menolak parti itu. Jika mereka akhirnya memilih pembangkang, ia akan mengakibatkan dilema kepada kita kerana kepimpinan mereka tidak meyakinkan," katanya.
Ketika berdialog dengan mereka yang menghadiri perjumpaan itu, bekas Presiden Umno itu menegaskan beliau sanggup ditangkap polis demi mendedahkan nama mereka yang terlibat dengan rasuah politik di dalam Umno.
Beliau berjanji akan mendedahkan nama mereka di dalam blognya, chedet.com
Dr Mahathir menegaskan, beliau tidak takut mendedahkan kebenaran dan identiti mereka yang teerlibat dalam rasuah politik itu.
"Saya tidak boleh lakukan apa-apa terhadap aduan (rasuah politik) melainkan menyerahkan nama mereka kepada lembaga disiplin Umno. Saya akan dedahkan nama-nama (yang terlibat dengan rasuah politik) itu dalam blog saya.
"Saya tidak takut disaman kerana memfitnah atau ditangkap oleh polis. Jika mereka boleh membebaskan (Editor Malaysia Today) Raja Petra Kamarudin, adakah mereka tidak boleh membebaskan saya juga?"
Sebelum ini, pembantu Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, Datuk Kamal Amir Kamal Hijaz berkata, lembaga disiplin Umno bukan sebuah badan bebas dan tidak perlu membuat laporan kepadanya.
Dr M to name Umno members involved in money politics
The Star (19/11/08): Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has promised to name Umno members implicated in money politics on his influential blog www.chedet.com.
He said he was willing to be sued for defamation and even risk arrest by the authorities because he was not afraid to expose the truth and the identities of such errant members.
“I can’t do anything about the complaints except to hand these over to the Umno disciplinary committee. I will put these names up in my blog.
“I am not afraid of being sued for libel or being arrested by the police. If they can release (blogger and Malaysia Today editor) Raja Petra Kamarudin, won’t they also be able to release me as well?” he said Wednesday in his dialogue with a group of Umno members and leaders, ex-ministers and Malay student groups at the Perdana Leadership Foundation here.
Earlier, an Umno member from the Parit division had complained of money politics in his area and had asked for Dr Mahathir to look into the list of names of those implicated in the division.
“Thank you for lodging a report. I hope there will be more who will come forward to lodge such reports,” he said. Earlier, in his speech, Dr Mahathir said voters would continue to reject Umno or the Barisan Nasional coalition if its new leader continues with the present policies and does not come down hard on corruption and money politics.
“Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has mentioned that he will continue with the teachings of Islam Hadhari. This is not a good sign as it shows that the transition is only in the person, and not in terms of policies.
“The voters did not like the policies that were put into place by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, so they will still reject Umno. So, there is no point in having such a transition,” he said.
Najib had recently pledged to continue promoting Islam Hadhari (Civilisational Islam) when he takes over as Prime Minister, saying that he was a great believer in the concept which was introduced by Abdullah.
Dr Mahathir said at a time when Umno needed a courageous leader to get rid of problems plaguing the party, Najib was merely trying to protect Abdullah’s “face”.
“We have to think whether the person taking over from the Prime Minister will get rid of all those in Umno who are now involved in corruption.
“If he is biased and there won’t be any cleaning up, the rakyat will reject the party. If they end up choosing the Opposition party, that will present us with a dilemma because their leadership is not convincing,” he said.
