MUDA Cuba Mengemis Kerusi Pilihan Raya

Image
Parti Ikatan Demokratik Malaysia (MUDA) sekali lagi membuktikan kepada seluruh negara bahawa retorik 'politik baharu', 'kuasa ketiga' dan 'harapan belia' yang dilaungkan selama ini hanyalah sandiwara politik paling murahan serta tidak lucu. Presiden baharu MUDA, Amira Aisya Abdul Aziz dengan wajah selambanya mengumumkan parti tersebut 'terbuka untuk sebarang rundingan' dengan mana-mana blok pembangkang bagi menghadapi Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) Johor. Dalam bahasa politik yang lebih jujur dan kasar, MUDA sebenarnya sedang 'mengemis' kerusi pilihan raya dengan parti lain. Parti yang dahulunya suka bercakap besar tentang integriti, reformasi dan keberanian generasi muda, ketika ini sedang merayu diberikan sedikit kerusi pilihan raya untuk mereka bertanding.  SUMBER: https://www.suarakeadilan.my/post/muda-gagal-tarik-pengundi-sukar-beri-peluang-sekali-lagi-dalam-prn MUDA ditubuhkan oleh Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman pada 2020 dengan penuh gegak-gempi...

Mahathir's End Heralds Mukhriz's End

Image
Pejuang president Mukhriz Mahathir has attributed his party’s poor performance at the Johor polls to a lack of recognition by voters and inadequate time to prepare. In his words, Pejuang was still a “new party” as it was only registered about seven months ago – yet would argue with such star power behind the party, it shouldn’t be that difficult to herald the return of Mahathir in a new party. Unrecognizability is a lame excuse especially for someone who has had every opportunity given to him, by an extremely famous father. After all, it is an open secret that Mahathir has spent a considerable amount of his post-retirement being mired in quid-pro-quo scandals involving his children. We all saw the subsequent brouhaha, with both sides changing the story in a tepid back and forth that led to little in the way of actual investigation by the authorities. But in all honesty, are we surprised that another member of the Mahathir clan became embroiled in another accusation of unfairly using th...

Pilihan Menteri Besar Johor Adalah Peranan Tunggal KDYMM Sultan Johor

Image
Kemenangan besar Barisan Nasional (BN) dalam Pilihan Raya Negeri Johor pada Sabtu lepas telah menunjukkan bahawa rakyat telah kembali percaya terhadap pimpinan BN dan UMNO setelah mengharungi kegagalan demi kegagalan kerajaan Perikatan Nasional dan Pakatan Harapan sebelumnya. Sudah tentunya BN kini berasa yakin dan positif akan peluangnya dalam Pilihanraya Umum Ke-15 kelak. Namun begitu, adakah BN kini berasa ia lebih berkuasa dari institusi diraja sehingga hanya mencadangkan hanya satu nama untuk dipertimbangkan sebagai calon Menteri Besar? Nampaknya mereka telah lupa akan bidang kuasa dan peranan KDYMM Sultan Johor yang termaktub dalam Undang-Undang Tubuh Kerajaan Negeri Johor 1895, Perkara 3 di mana ia menyatakan bidang kuasa melantik seorang Menteri Besar adalah di bawah peranan Sultan Johor. Dalam hal pelantikan Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi sebagai Menteri Besar Johor ke-19, ianya selaras dengan apa yang dinyatakan dalam Perlembagaan Johor. Keangkuhan BN dalam cubaan mereka menolak pelan...

Will Syed Saddiq Stick to His Guns?

Image
The Johor state elections are running up to be one of the most exciting sideshows in politics in recent decades, as we see the culmination of a years-long rivalry between Bersatu and PPBM come to ahead in 3 way battles for control of the state. The drama doesn’t quite end there as we continue to see PH struggle with its ideas of a principled coalition – as DAP and PKR/PAN argue over the viability of incorporating the newest kid on the block: MUDA. Not to be left out, MUDA and Syed Saddiq rallied their large online support bases to entertain the idea that they would be collaborating with Pakatan in their election debut. However it remains to be seen if MUDA will actually stay with the coalition – unlike the Melaka state elctions. This led to handwringing from Saddiq particularly, who said that he could not stomach working with frogs – but where was this nobility back in Pakatan? Unless he wants us to forget that he was part of Bersatu? The original home for political frogs from UMNO. Th...
