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...

Syed Saddiq’s False Bravado

Image
Syed Saddiq puts on a brave front to the public, part of his public appeal. After all, politicians willing to stand up for what they believe in are far in between at this point. Yet for all of the bravado, many were no doubt surprised that Saddiq had decided not run for the Johor state elections – despite sabre rattling and planning to build a coalition without PH partners, PKR. This is nothing new for Saddiq, after all, he will take a big game and fail to follow through when it counts the most. For example during the 2021 Budget vote in Parliament – spent the much of the week rallying against the government, stating that they should allocate the budget fairly. When it came down to it, he simply sat down and did not stand up to support the motion for a bloc voting to pass the 2021 Budget – and did not join the 13 MPs Opposition MPs in ultimately rejecting it at its policy stage. His apology? “I cannot speak on behalf of the other MPs, but I personally believe, in hindsight, that what h...

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...

Syed Saddiq Ejen Dunia Barat Untuk Campur Tangan Dalam Politik Negara?

Image
Perjumpaan Syed Saddiq bersama Duta Besar Amerika Syarikat telah menarik perhatian orang ramai, terutamanya komentator politik. Agak anehnya kunjungan hormat Syed Saddiq kepada Duta Besar AS ini datang baru beberapa hari selepas parti gagasannya, MUDA diberi kelulusan oleh Jabatan Pendaftaran Pertubuhan Malaysia (RoS). Mustahil ini hanya sekadar kebetulan, sedangkan Syed Saddiq tidak teragak-agak menunjukkan kecenderungan politiknya yang berhaluan liberal. Sumber: https://malaysiagazette.com/2021/04/28/masalah-parti-muda-adalah-syed-saddiq/ Bagi puak-puak penyokong Syed Saddiq yang liberal, ini menunjukkan pengiktirafan Amerika Syarikat terhadap agenda Syed Saddiq dan Parti MUDA. Perlu rakyat faham bahawa ini sangat berbahaya untuk negara kita kerana Syed Saddiq berkemungkinan menjadi ejen mereka untuk mengancam ketenteraman dan keamanan di negara kita. Ramai yang sudah biasa dengan tatacara dan dasar luar Amerika Syarikat yang sering menceroboh negara lain atas nama menyebarkan demok...

Mahathir's Neverending War on Malaysians

Image
As Malaysians today grapple with the realities of successive incompetent and ineffective governments – it is easy forget that around this time some three years ago, many of us were excited at the prospect of a new chapter in our country’s history. Yet what lay in store for us was years of political instability, mired by infighting and conflicting agendas, with the only constant factor being the presence of the elder statesman, Tun Mahathir. Despite being elected on a platform that promised a more equitable society, we were ultimately barraged with the same-old, same-old “the poor don’t work hard enough” narrative that is synonymous with Mahathir. What Malaysians actually asked for was a new vision that represents Malaysia Baru - one that includes Malaysians from all walks of life. Instead we got a return to Malaysia Lama - one that is characterized by Mahathir’s own brand of outdated and dangerous thinking. Take for example his mentality on the poor, where Malaysians remain poor becaus...

MUKHRIZ THE BILLIONAIRE MP?

Image
How did Mahathir’s family accumulate such vast wealth? How did Mukhriz become a billionaire at 30? According to Mahathir his family has always made wealth through hard work and dedication. Probably other Malaysians are not as hardworking as Dr M’s family. In 1994, the Sarawak state government gave an approval to log 1,000 hectares of timber to TANJUNG TIARA SDN BHD. Mukhriz Mahathir was not only the shareholder but also the Chairman of this company. Born in 1964, Mukhriz was just 30 years old in 1994. In those years 1 hectare of forest land can be logged for timber worth of more that RM1 million. So 1,000 hectares would have yielded more than RM1Billion to TANJUNG TIARA SDN BHD.

Kekayaan Luar Biasa Keluarga Mahathir

Image
Mahathir sering menafikan bahawa beliau tidak pernah berniat ingin mencipta legasi dalam politik tempatan. Beliau beberapa kali menyentuh tentang kekayaan anak beliau adalah hasil kerja keras dan bukannya kerana kaitan nama keluarga beliau. Tetapi realitinya agak sukar untuk kita melupakan jumlah kekayaan terkumpul milik Mirzan, Mokhzani dan Marina yang melebihi Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK) beberapa buah negara membangun lain.  Sebagai contoh, pada 1994, Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak telah memberi kebenaran untuk menebang lebih 1,000 hektar balak kepada syarikat TANJUNG TIARA SDN BHD. Mukhriz Mahathir bukan sahaja pemegang saham tetapi adalah Pengerusi kepada syarikat ini.
