  • Tawaran Kerja Sama Politik Ditolak Oposisi, Masa Depan PM Muhyiddin Makin Suram
    Tawaran Kerja Sama Politik Ditolak Oposisi, Masa Depan PM Muhyiddin Makin Suram Realitarakyat.com – Para pemimpin partai oposisi di Malaysia menolak tawaran kerja sama politik dari PM Muhyiddin Yassin dan menuntutnya segera mundur. Sebelumnya pada Jumat (13/8) Muhyiddin secara terbuka mengakui ia tak memiliki suara mayoritas di Parlemen dan meminta dukungan dalam voting mosi tidak percaya pada September nanti. Sebagai imbal balik, Muhyiddin menjanjikan tujuh tawaran kepada para pemimpin partai oposisi. Di antara tujuh penawaran tersebut adalah pembatasan masa jabatan Perdana Menteri menjadi maksimal dua periode, dengan satu periode lima tahun, pengajuan RUU Anti Lompat Partai, serta mengurangi batasan usia pemilih dari semula 21 tahun menjadi 21 tahun. Hari ini partai oposisi ramai-ramai menolak tawaran tersebut, salah satunya Pakatan Harapan. “Ini adalah kali pertama dalam sejarah Malaysia seorang Perdana Menteri mengakui ia telah kehilangan suara mayoritas, tapi terus mencari dukungan,” menurut keterangan resmi Pakatan Harapan. “Pakatan Harapan telah mengambil sikap untuk menolak keras semua tawaran tidak tulus dari Tan Sri Muhyiddin yang seharusnya dilakukan lebih awal dan bukan pada akhir kehidupan politiknya.” Penolakan juga disampaikan oleh Presiden UMNO Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi dan Presiden Pejuang Tanah Air, Mukhriz Mahathir. “UMNO tidak bisa mempertimbangkan tawaran dari seseorang yang tidak lagi memiliki legitimasi,” kata Ahmad Zahid dalam keterangan resmi. Ahmad juga menyarankan masyarakat untuk tetap tenang sampai Yang di-Pertuan Agong melakukan tanggung jawab konstitusionalnya berdasarkan Pasal 40 (2) untuk mengangkat perdana menteri baru dari antara anggota DPR. Penolakan lain disampaikan oleh Majelis Kepresidenen Pakatan Harapan Anwar Ibrahim (Presiden Partai Keadilan Rakyat), Hj Mohamad Sabu (Presiden Partai Amanah Negara), dan Lim Guan Eng (Presiden Partai Tindakan Demokratik atau DAP) dalam pernyataan pers di Kuala Lumpur, Sabtu.

  • Let Smart People Rise in Politics, Says Mahathir Malaysiakini.Com Sept 25, 2013 by Lawrence Yong
    Let smart people rise in politics, says Mahathir MalaysiaKini.com Sept 25, 2013 By Lawrence Yong Political party leaders should not overstay their welcome but instead encourage young people, who are smarter than them to rise up the ranks, Umno's longest-serving former president said today. Without referring to any party, Dr Mahathir Mohamad said that, if leaders are afraid of their intelligent underlings, that party would become "a stupid party" over time and lose its standing. "We must accept that it is a good thing that more intelligent people join the party and leadership quality will improve over time - or you will have more and more stupid people," Mahathir told some 600 youths at a talk at the International Youth Centre. He explained the problem in detail. "Those at the lowest ranks don't like anybody more intelligent than them. They think the best thing to do is to stop intelligent people from coming in... "Only people more stupid than them can come into the party... so, over time, when the leaders die, the leadership becomes stupider." Mahathir also dished out two pieces of timely advice, possibly aimed at next month's Umno elections, where six people are contesting for three posts of vice-president, five are battling for the Youth chief's post and three for the position of Wanita chief. NONE"Accept people more intelligent than you ... lose gracefully and you will be remembered," he said. Speaking to reporters later, Mahathir declined to mention his favourites, not even his own son Mukhriz (left), the Kedah menteri besar who is going for a vice-presidency.

Hambatan dan jerit payah yang terpaksa dilalui pejuang Umno dirakamkan dalam buku ini bagi membolehkan generasi muda berkongsi pengalaman dan menghayati erti pengorbanan. Semua orang Melayu di Malaysia biar bagaimana pendirian politik mereka, terpaksa mengakui hakikat Umno yang menjadi tonggak kepada usaha penyatuan bangsa Melayu bagi mengusir penjajah keluar dari Tanah Melayu. Selain itu, tidak boleh dinafikan Umno juga adalah perintis usaha pembaikan dan pembinaan bangsa yang selama ini diperkotak-katikkan tangan asing. Tokoh yang ditampilkan dalam buku berkenaan ialah Datuk Onn Ja'afar, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj, Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, Tun Hussein Onn, Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Tun Dr Ismail Abd Rahman, Tan Sri Musa Hitam, Tun Abdul Ghafar Baba, Tan Sri Senu Abd Rahman dan Tun Sardon Jubir.

Sesetengah daripada tokoh pejuang Melayu ini mungkin tidak dikenali sama sekali generasi muda kini kerana mereka lebih dulu menemui Ilahi tetapi sumbangan mereka terus melakari sejarah negara. Penulis buku ini, Dr Khairul Azmi dan AF Yassin, memilih tokoh untuk ditampilkan sebagai pejuang berdasarkan kedudukan mereka sebagai pemimpin tertinggi Umno.

  • How the Pandemic Is Keeping Malaysia's Politics Messy
    How the Pandemic Is Keeping Malaysia’s Politics Messy Malaysia’s first transfer of power in six decades was hailed as a milestone for transparency, free speech and racial tolerance in the multiethnic Southeast Asian country. But the new coalition collapsed amid an all-too-familiar mix of political intrigue and horse trading. Elements of the old regime were brought into a new government that also proved short-lived. The turmoil stems in part from an entrenched system of affirmative-action policies that critics say fosters cronyism and identity-based politics, while a state of emergency declared due to the coronavirus pandemic has hampered plans for fresh elections. 1. How did this start? Two veteran politicians, Mahathir Mohamad and Anwar Ibrahim, won a surprising election victory in 2018 that ousted then-Prime Minister Najib Razak, who was enmeshed in a massive money-laundering scandal linked to the state investment firm 1MDB. Mahathir, 96, became prime minister again (he had held the post from 1981 to 2003), with the understanding that he would hand over to Anwar at some point. Delays in setting a date and policy disputes led to tensions that boiled over in 2020. Mahathir stepped down and sought to strengthen his hand by forming a unity government outside party politics. But the king pre-empted his efforts by naming Mahathir’s erstwhile right-hand man, Muhyiddin Yassin, as prime minister, the eighth since Malaysia’s independence from the U.K. in 1957. Mahathir formed a new party to take on the government but failed to get it registered.

  • World Leaders' International Call to Seek Justice for Anwar Ibrahim And
    INTERNATIONAL CALL TO SEEK JUSTICE FOR ANWAR IBRAHIM AND RESTORE DEMOCRACY IN MALAYSIA The Committee, Recognises Anwar Ibrahim as a Malaysian statesman, Leader of the Opposition in Parliament and a prominent moderate Muslim leader who has dedicated his political life to defend democracy, uphold the rule of law and sought social justice for all. Recalls that Anwar Ibrahim was finance minister and deputy prime minister of Malaysia when he was dismissed from government in 1998. Upon his dismissal, Anwar was arrested, beaten and jailed for six years on politically motivated and trumped up charges. Recalls that Anwar Ibrahim led the opposition coalition to an unprecedented electoral success in Malaysia’s general elections in 2013, winning 51% of the popular vote. Recalls that Anwar Ibrahim’s unjust imprisonment on 10 February 2015 based on politically motivated charges has been widely condemned internationally, and Amnesty International has adopted Anwar Ibrahim as a prisoner of conscience. Believes that the conviction and imprisonment of Anwar Ibrahim was the outcome of an ongoing political conspiracy to end Anwar Ibrahim’s political life and to deprive the opposition of its parliamentary leader in Malaysia. Resolves to call on the international community to pressure the government of Malaysia to uphold the rule of law, and to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms of its citizens. Demands the government of Malaysia to immediately and unconditionally release Anwar Ibrahim from prison. Signatories, The Honorable Dr. Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie, Former President of The Republic of Indonesia The Honorable Abdullah Gül, Former President of the Republic of Turkey The Honorable Albert Gore, Former Vice President of The United States of America, Nobel Laureate The Honorable Mayor Joseph Ejercito Estrada, Former President of the Philippines The Honorable James Gordon Brown, Former Prime Minister of The United Kingdom Sheikh Rashid al-Ghannushi, Intellectual leader of the Ennahdah Movement Tunisia .
