NST (23/12/08): Pas is being forced to bow to the DAP on the hudud issue, deputy Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin said.

He said Pas vice-president Datuk Husam Musa's "about-turn" over his statement that the party would implement strict Islamic laws if Pakatan Rakyat took over the Federal Government was because of pressure from its secular coalition partner.

"Husam made a U-turn in fewer than two days. Where is the principle held by Pas? The principle cannot be simply cast aside," said Khairy in an entry on his blog yesterday.

He claimed Husam's switch was the result of objections by DAP leaders, such as Lim Kit Siang and Lim Guan Eng.

Husam had on Saturday reiterated the party's pledge to apply hudud during a discussion on political transformation in Malaysia after fellow panellist Khairy challenged him to state Pas' stand, which he claimed had waned after the March 8 general election.

On Monday, DAP and Parti Keadilan Rakyat leaders came out and opposed the hudud plan.

DAP chairman Karpal Singh even warned that Pas' "myopic" political ambitions could sink Pakatan.

PKR information chief Tian Chua said the party and Pa-katan's stand was to uphold the Federal Constitution.

Husam on Monday was reported as saying that hudud would not be implemented as it required the consent of other Pakatan partners.

Husam refused to comment on the subject.

"I have nothing else to say. Everything has been reported. There is no need for further comment.

"If anyone wants to further discuss this issue, I am open to having a debate."

Berita Harian (24/12/08): Naib Presiden Pas, Datuk Husam Musa dilabel ikon transformasi politik layu apabila dilihat tunduk pada bantahan dan gertakan DAP supaya undang-undang hudud dan qisas tidak dilaksanakan.

Naib Ketua Pemuda Umno, Khairy Jamaluddin, berkata kenyataan 'u-turn' Husam dalam tempoh pendek memberikan gambaran bahawa Pas terpaksa tunduk kepada desakan DAP.

Katanya, tidak sampai dua hari selepas Husam dengan lantang memberi jaminan kepada penyokong tegar Pas di gelanggang sendiri bahawa hudud akan dilaksanakan jika Pakatan Rakyat mengambil alih kuasa kerajaan Persekutuan, beliau sudah menyerah kalah dan mengatakan hukum hudud tidak akan dilaksanakan kerana memerlukan rakan kongsi senior dalam Pakatan Rakyat.

“Di manakah prinsip Pas yang dikatakan oleh Husam ketika beliau membentangkan mukadimahnya di Wacana Perdana Transformasi Politik Malaysia, yang menyebut antara `P’ pentingnya adalah prinsip? Takkan prinsip boleh dibuang begitu mudah saja,” katanya dalam laman blognya semalam.

Semalam, akhbar melaporkan Pas mengakui pelaksanaan undang-undang hudud dan qisas mungkin terpaksa ditangguhkan walaupun jika Pakatan Rakyat memerintah negara ini kerana ia memerlukan persetujuan dua rakannya dalam pakatan itu, DAP dan parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR).

Terbaru, Husam dipetik berkata, parti komponen dalam pakatan sudah menandatangani perjanjian pada Ogos lalu bahawa sebarang perubahan dasar perlu dibuat dengan persetujuan semua parti komponen.

Kenyataan terbaru Husam itu berbeza dengan kenyataan dikeluarkannya pada majlis Wacana Perdana Transformasi Politik Malaysia, malam Sabtu lalu.

Ahli Parlimen Rembau itu berkata, ketika wacana itu, beliau meminta pendirian jelas daripada Husam mengenai pelaksanaan hukum hudud jika Pakatan Rakyat memerintah dan Husam memberikan jawapan jelas bahawa Pas akan melaksanakannya.

“Tidak sampai 24 jam kenyataan beliau disiarkan oleh media, Lim Kit Siang, selaku Supremo DAP, mempertikaikan kenyataan Husam dan menegaskan bahawa hukum hudud tidak menjadi dasar Pakatan Rakyat.

“Kenyataan Kit Siang ini kemudian disokong anak beliau, Lim Guan Eng, yang dipuji berkali-kali dalam wacana itu oleh Husam sebagai pemimpin moden ala Saidina Omar Abdul Aziz,” katanya.

Dewan Rakyat (11/12/08): Akhir kata Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya cuma ingin tambah sedikit kepada apa yang disebut tadi tentang AUKU ini, tentang hak kebebasan bagi pelajar-pelajar. Saya akhirnya akan undi, menyokong pindaan tersebut tetapi saya terpaksa menyatakan concern saya di Dewan ini. Concern saya di Dewan ini berhubung kait dengan hak mahasiswa untuk berpolitik. Saya percaya bahawa kalau ada double standard saya kurang setuju dengan alasan yang diberi, bahawa UK jauh dan sebagainya kerana Kelab UMNO itu pun wujud di Indonesia, di Sumatera yang cukup dekat dengan kita. Saya sebenarnya Yang Berhormat Menteri, saya tidak takut kalau kita hendak bersaing dengan pembangkang di kampus kerana walaupun bagi saya tidak ada apa-apa bukti bahawa kebebasan politik itu memberi satu rangsangan kepada kecemerlangan akademik. There’s no relationship between academic excellence and political involvement, tetapi walau bagaimanapun saya setuju ada tulisan satu ketika dahulu daripada penulis tersohor Amerika Syarikat Mark Twain, dia kata, ”Don’t let school get in the way of your education”. Jangan sampai pembelajaran kita mengehadkan pendidikan kita. Pendidikan di sini adalah pengalaman hidup. Pengalaman hidup adalah bermaksud apakah pelajar itu belajar bukan hanya atas kertas? Bukannya ditelan, bukannya muntah dalam pemeriksaan, tetapi apakah dia belajar sebagai seorang mahasiswa dengan experience ataupun pengalaman yang ada. Sebab itu Yang Berhormat Menteri saya rasa bahawa biarlah pindaan ini diluluskan saya akan sokong, tetapi biarlah untuk masa yang akan datang kita buka sahaja kampus ini, kerana hari ini pun memang ada saingan antara parti kerajaan dan parti pembangkang dalam kampus di IPTA tempatan. Cuma tidak rasmi, pro aspirasi kerajaan, pro mahasiswa dan sebagainya tetapi kita semua tahu siapakah itu pro aspirasi kerajaan, siapa pro mahasiswa dan sebagainya.

Kita buka untuk semua dan kita compete base on ideas, berdasarkan kepada idea dan biar serahkan kepada mahasiswa untuk pilih siapa dia hendak ikut dan siapa dia hendak bantah. Itulah yang kita hendak melihat kerana ini membukakan minda mereka, menjadikan mahasiswa bukan hanya mahasiswa, bukan hanya academic students tetapi rakyat Malaysia yang terbuka minda mereka untuk buat pilihan. Saya tidak takut kalau terpaksa turun ke padang berdepan dengan sahabat saya daripada Rasah, tahniah kerana baru sahaja menang tanpa bertanding sebagai Ketua Pemuda DAP, tidak ada demokrasi dalam DAP menang tanpa bertanding tetapi tidak apa kita turun sama-sama dan... [Dewan riuh] Saya bertanding, saya bertanding Pemuda dengan Yang Berhormat Jerlun tidak apa, saya tetap bertanding.

Tuan Yang di-Pertua: Terima kasih gulung Yang Berhormat. Sila gulung Yang Berhormat.

Tuan Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar [Rembau]: Akan tetapi maksudnya di sini...

Tuan Loke Siew Fook [Rasah]: Pemuda berpecah belah.

Tuan Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar [Rembau]: Duduk dulu, duduk dulu. Maksudnya di sini kita perlu seperti mana...

Dr. Mohd. Hatta bin Md. Ramli [Kuala Krai]: Presiden UMNO menang tanpa bertanding.

Tuan Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar [Rembau]: Terima kasih Yang Berhormat Kuala Krai. Seperti mana kita ada kebebasan, kebebasan akademik, free flow of ideas, dengan izin. Biarlah pelajar-pelajar ini juga ada free flow of political ideas supaya mereka menjadi mahasiswa dan juga rakyat yang lebih cemerlang dalam masa akan datang. Terima kasih.

NST (21/9/08): Would Khairy Jamaluddin's Setiakawan (Friendship and Unity) campaign pitch be able to pave the way to the top seat in Umno Youth?

The concept should be a successful one, especially in the present political climate where the clamour for race-based parties to change into platforms for all Malaysians has become irresistible.

But then Umno is a party that is dyed-in-the-wool of Malay nationalism. Getting the idea down to the grassroots, where a large section still cry Ketuanan Melayu, could prove to be an exercise in futility.

There is also an unfavourable perception of the Umno Youth deputy chief -- the many controversies alleged and often manufactured against him have put off some people, including members of his own Youth wing.

Perhaps because of his talent, ambition and closeness to the prime minister, Khairy has been a target for character assassination and envy.
He will have to deal with the innuendoes and accusations wisely and without becoming distracted.

But Khairy said he was accepting this inevitability.

"I accept the need to constantly self-analyse; admittedly at times it is distressing, but this is not about my feelings, it is about what I can contribute."

Coincidentally, Khairy's slogan parallels Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah's call for a supra-ethnic Umno to help heal and renew the party, whose support among the non-Malays dived in the March 8 polls.

The 71-year-old Kelantan prince, who also happens to be the sole Umno leader aspiring to contest the Umno presidency held by Khairy's father-in-law, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, had proposed that the more multiracial stance should not compromise Umno's original aims for the Malays.

Khairy, a first-term Rembau MP, is using Setiakawan as a manifesto to win nominations to contest for the Umno Youth chief's post, which will be vacated by Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.

Hishamuddin has opted to move up the party hierarchy to contest one of the three Umno vice-president's posts.

Khairy needs to get the support of at least 38 Umno Youth divisions to qualify to contest for the post, which is also being vied for by Umno Youth exco members Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir (whose father, former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, has been chief among Khairy's critics) and Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo, and lesser known Perlis Umno deputy chief Datuk Zahidi Zainal Abidin.

Khairy is offering himself as one who wants the multiracial youth to be heard.

"I not only hope to make Umno Youth more vibrant but want to get all youth wings in the component parties to speak in one voice.

"I am not contesting as a leader of a Malay youth movement alone but a youth leader for all Malaysians," he said at his parliamentary service centre in Rembau on Wednesday.

Each of the three aspirants has his own slogan: Mukhriz's Berani Berubah (Dare to Change), Dr Khir's Pemuda Berani (Courageous Youth) and Zahidi's Pemuda Untuk Semua (Youth for All).

Khairy may have the advantage of serving as Hishammuddin's deputy for four years and another four years as an exco member but he is still considered young.

The contest from now on is going to be very competitive. Mukhriz has his father's backing and Dr Khir has had more experience. Zahidi, who is quite well-known in Perlis, has little national exposure. However, he has been in politics for a long time.

Being the youngest in the field, the task for Khairy will not be an easy one. (Zubaidah Abu Bakar)

Pile on pressure against the corrupt

ON THE BEAT
By WONG CHUN WAI

The Star (29/5/05): Every Malaysian knows that corruption has gone from bad to worse. It’s no longer news but what Malaysians would like to know is what the government intends to do to seriously fight the problem.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has taken the first step by making the fight against corruption a top priority under his leadership.

Since he took office more than a year ago, he has vowed to clean up the civil service, promising to act against the corrupt and followed up with the arrest of several high-profile personalities.

He has lessened the opportunities for corrupt activities by improving the public service delivery system and increasing transparency and accountability in the public sector.

That is not all. Abdullah has set up institutions promoting national integrity to instil a culture that hates corruption. He has also pushed for the return of an open tender system, when previously selected companies only needed to submit their bids to the Economic Planning Unit which then makes its recommendations to the government.

Just two weeks ago, the public had their first detailed look at the level of corruption in the police force following the release of the report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry.

Abdullah has taken the lead by heading a task force that would carry out the recommendations of the commission. His personal attention will certainly help to push the proposals through more effectively.

But Malaysians want to see more. They would like to see the Anti-Corruption Agency as truly independent and modelled after Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), to give our investigators more clout.

Giving the ACA a free hand to carry out its tasks is insufficient if the public have the perception that there is interference from powerful politicians, even if that is not true.

Enforcement of the laws must be carried out without fear and favour. The public should not be given the impression, rightly or wrongly, that selective prosecution is being practised.

Abdullah must be supported in his fight against graft because it must be accorded the highest priority. This sickness must not be allowed to become deep-rooted, like in Indonesia and Thailand. Worse, Malaysians now complain about enforcement officers who openly demand for money because these officers no longer try to hide the fact that they are corrupt.

Our leaders only need to go down to the ground. Talk to the petty traders at markets, talk to people who have to seek approvals from government departments, talk to motorists who are stopped by traffic cops. The list is endless.

It is not a surprise that the commission found that next to the police, the municipal councils and Road Transport Department (JPJ) are perceived to be the most corrupt.

In fact, a commission should be set up to investigate these two bodies. Why should only the police be subject to a 15-month probe when their numbers, in proportion to the population, are much smaller than the councils and JPJ?

Last week, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said political parties must not allow corruption to exist, saying that they must be willing to take action against even the most prominent and highest official of the party.

There were indications, he said, that corruption might be getting to a point of no return and leaders were willing to pay money to get themselves elected. Although he did not specify Umno, he said that “everybody talks about money politics (in Umno)”.

It is good that Dr Mahathir has come out strongly against corruption but personally, I wish he could have done more during his over 20 years in office, such as carrying out anti-corruption campaigns to create awareness of the debilitating impact of corruption.

With his strong leadership, authority and grip on Umno, he let slip the opportunity to introduce reforms including effective enforcement of laws against corruption.

Malaysians may remain grateful to Dr Mahathir for the economic boom they enjoyed during his tenure, but one source of unhappiness was the introduction of the negotiated tender, which lacked accountability and openness. In fact, for many, it was no tender at all.

Money politics in Umno did not rear its ugly head one year or two years ago but at least a decade ago, when we saw the big fights in Umno. Leaders like then Umno deputy president Tun Ghafar Baba and present deputy minister Datuk Aziz Shamsuddin, who lost his divisional chief’s post, were victims who openly tell their stories.

No fight against corruption can be meaningful unless there is a demonstration of political will and commitment from the public to reject all forms of corruption, not just in the public sector but also in the private sector.

The pressure from the Abdullah Administration and the public must continue if we are serious about the war against corruption. We are all waiting to see what the government intends to do next now that the commission’s report is out.

More action, less rhetoric, please.

Wah! Khairy Jamaluddin (KJ) pun marah (?!)

Kritik Dr Mahathir : Pemuda Sokong Kenyataan Hishammuddin

Laman Web Pemuda Umno (1/6/05): Pemuda Umno hari ini menyatakan sokongan terhadap kenyataan Ketua Pemuda, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein yang mengecam budaya mengkritik pemimpin terdahulu yang dianggap sesuatu yang tidak seharusnya diamalkan.

Naib Ketuanya, Khairy Jamaluddin berkata adalah sesuatu yang mendukacitakan jika terdapat pihak yang cuba mengambil peluang untuk membuat kritikan terhadap pemimpin yang tidak lagi memegang jawatan.

"Kita tidak mahu melihat budaya di mana apabila pemimpin itu tidak memegang lagi jawatan sudah menjadi peluang untuk kita mengkritik dan sebagainya. Sedangkan ketika orang itu menjadi pemimpin, kita membisu dan tidak buat apa-apa pendirian yang mengatakan itu salah dan ini salah.

"Ini perkara yang mendukacitakan kerana kita tahu semasa Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad menjadi Perdana Menteri, kita semua sokong dasar beliau untuk membangunkan Malaysia sebagai negara moden", katanya kepada laman webPemuda selepas mempengerusikan Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Pelancaran Putera Umno di sini, Rabu.

Beliau berkata demikian sebagai mengulas kenyataan, Ketua Pergerakan Pemuda Umno Malaysia, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein yang mengecam kritikan yang dilemparkan kepada Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad bahawa kononnya beliau tidak berbuat apa-apa untuk memerangi rasuah ketika menjadi Perdana Menteri.

Sambil menyatakan kritikan itu tidak tepat, Khairy berkata sepanjang 22 tahun Dr Mahathir menjadi Perdana Menteri beliau telah banyak membuat teguran dan mengambil tindakan untuk memerangi rasuah.

"Sepatutnya tidak ada pertikaian mengenai rekod beliau memerangi rasuah", tegasnya.

Sementara itu dalam isu yang sama Ketua Penerangan, Pergerakan Pemuda Umno Malaysia, Datuk Azimi Daim pula berpendapat kritikan yang dilemparkan terhadap Tun Dr Mahathir sebagai tidak berasas.

Menurutnya pengalaman selama empat tahun bersama Dr Mahathir dalam Majlis Tertinggi Umno, beliau bukan sahaja serius memerangi rasuah dalam pentadbiran malah terhadap parti.

"Ini boleh dibuktikan menerusi tindakannya mewujudkan Lembaga Displin parti. Mereka yang buat kritikan terhadap Dr Mahathir jelas tidak membuat rujukan terlebih dahulu sebaliknya melemparkan kritikan mengikut citarasa sendiri", ujarnya.

Beberapa hari sebelum itu, Dr Mahathir angin satu badan dengan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, "Anwar slandered me on BBC, says Mahathir" (Malaysiakini, 12/5/05)

Ulasan Steven Gan mengenai peristiwa itu, "APs: Semuanya OK?" (Malaysiakini, 15/7/05)

Menarik, mula-mula Anwar balun, selepas itu diikuti kawan baik KJ. Mengapa saya kata Chun Wai kawan baik KJ? Baca yang berikut:

25 Disember 2003, Timbalan (II) Ketua Pengarang Kumpulan The Star, Datuk Wong Chun Wai menyampaikan "Christmas wish"nya kepada menantu Perdana Menteri, Khairy Jamaludin. 29 Disember 2003, Perdana Menteri mengumumkan, kerajaan akan menubuhkan sebuah suruhanjaya diraja bagi mengenal pasti langkah-langkah yang boleh diambil bagi menjadikan PDRM sebagai satu pasukan penguat kuasa undang-undang yang berwibawa dan dihormati.
