Politik, Legislatif, Dasar dan Tadbir Urus

Kepimpinan Pakatan Harapan (PH) perlu mempelajari dan mengambil segala iktibar daripada apa yang gabungan itu telah terlepas pandang sewaktu menjadi kerajaan selama 22 bulan yang lalu sehinggalah pentadbiran mereka terguling akibat dari pemberontakan yang dicetuskan oleh Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) dan 11 ahli parlimen Azmin Ali di dalam gabungan tersebut yang seterusnya menjurus kepada perletakan jawatan perdana menteri pada masa ini, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Sewaktu pemerintahan kerajaan PH dahulu, sebab utama PH sering dilihat “lemah” dan “tidak berdaya tahan” adalah kerana dasar kebebasan bersuara yang kuat dipeloporinya dan tidak ada tindakan drastik untuk menanganinya penyebaran berita palsu, dakyah dan pelbagai tohmahan berbisa yang sering dilempar oleh Umno dan PAS sebelum ini. Justeru dari itu, Umno dan PAS terus menggunakan kesempatan daripada kebebasan bersuara itu untuk menyebarkan idea-idea lapuk perkauman dan keagamaan mereka tanpa perlu bimbang sebarang...

Setelah rampasan kuasa Perikatan Nasional (PN) yang berjaya menggulingkan Pakatan Harapan (PH) daripada tampuk pemerintahannya pada Februari 2020 yang lalu, kerajaan pemberontak yang dibentuk oleh PN telah memutuskan agar majlis mesyuarat pertama, penggal ketiga, parlimen ke-14 yang pada asalnya dijadual bermula pada 9 Mac 2020 ditunda ke 18 Mei 2020. Kerajaan pemberontak PN telah mengambil kesempatan daripada penularan wabak coronavirus yang tidak dapat dikawal pada masa itu dan berikutan perlaksanaan perintah kawalan pergerakan (PKP), kerana pimpinan PN juga masih kurang yakin dengan kestabilan jumlah angka sokongan ahli-ahli parlimen yang ada sekarang dan PN dilihat memerlukan suatu masa yang lebih lama bagi memperkukuhkan lagi bilangan angka sokongannya di parlimen. Selain daripada itu, penundaan sidang parlimen tersebut juga dilihat mempunyai kaitan rapat dengan perhimpunan agung dan pemilihan parti Bersatu yang pada mulanya dijadual pada bulan April ini telah ditunda ke bulan ...

Di hampir penghujung Februari 2020 yang lalu, Bersatu dan 11 wakil rakyat pimpinan Azmin Ali telah membuahkan satu rancangan rampasan kuasa stelah mencapai suatu kata sepakat dalam satu siri pertemuan mereka yang diadakan di Hotel Sheraton di Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Setelah rancangan tersebut mendapat sokongan daripada Umno dan PAS, Bersatu dan 11 wakil rakyat Azmin Ali itu kemudiannya memberontak terhadap kerajaan gabungan Pakatan Harapan (PH) yang mereka sedang anggotai pada masa itu, dengan membawa kumpulan wakil-wakil rakyat mereka keluar daripada gabungan kerajaan tersebut menyebabkan PH kehilangan tampuk pemerintahannya setelah 22 bulan memerintah. Bersatu dan puak Azmin Ali kemudiannya mempelawa Umno dan PAS serta GPS untuk menyertai mereka bagi mendapatkan jumlah wakil-wakil yang mencukupi bagi membentuk satu gabungan baru diberi nama Perikatan Nasional (PN), setelah itu pula membentuk sebuah kerajaan pemberontak bagi menggantikan kerajaan PH yang telah digulingkannya i...

We observed with concern on the recent announcement by the defence minister in his press conference this evening saying that virtual annual general meeting (AGM) will be allowed if any companies, societies or associations wish to conduct their AGM via online channel. Well, we wish to remind the rebel government to be cautious when making or announcing their various promises to the press. Prior to making such announcement, we would like to ask, have they check the provisions of the Companies Act 2016, Societies Act 1966 and the Cooperative Societies Act 1993 to confirm if there are any provisions in these three Acts which allow virtual AGMs to be conducted. Making such a blunt announcement without further checks will eventually land companies, societies, clubs or associations and cooperative societies into trouble should and any disputes arise in the manner the meeting or elections was conducted. Conducting virtual meetings can be a very complicated matter especially if the...

Daripada gambar-gambar yang telah tular di dalam media sosial dan beberapa akhbar tempatan baru-baru ini, nampaknya menteri, timbalan menteri, menteri besar, ahli exco negeri, ahli parlimen, ahli dewan undangan negeri daripada Perikatan Nasional (PN) boleh dikecualikan daripada Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) bagi membolehkan mereka mengadakan acara dan kegiatan beramai-ramai, majlis makan tengahari bersama dan bersama para penyokong mereka. Sama ada mereka telah dikecualikan secara rasmi oleh pihak berkuasa ataupun mereka mendapat surat kebenaran daripada pengerusi PN ataupun presiden parti-parti komponen PN (Bersatu, Umno, PAS, GPS) masing-masing, itu kita belum dapat memastikannya lagi. Tetapi yang jelas sekali kelihatan para Yang-yang Berhormat dan Yang Amat Berhormat ini sedang menghadiri dan merasmikan majlis atau acara masing-masing di dua kawasan yang berlainan. Oleh kerana pencalonan bagi pemilihan Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) yang telah ditutup sebelum be...

Recently, PAS secretary-general and minister in the prime minister’s department in charge of law, Takiyuddin Hassan had given his assurance that all Perikatan Nasional MPs who did not join the cabinet will be appointed to lead all the government-linked-companies (GLC). All incumbent heads of GLC and agencies will be terminated as soon as possible to make way for these rebel government MPs to take over. Here you go, one after another chairmen and heads of GLC who were not at all political appointees but from professional backgrounds were sacked or terminated systematically to allow rebel government MPs to assume these positions. It has been highlighted that the process of terminating these incumbents has started as early as end of March last month. What we have seen today is most of the rebel government MPs do not possess relevant experience to head all these GLCs. When comes to professional management and making business decisions in these GLCs are they well-versed in such or are th...

Recently, many people especially those in the current affairs commentating has been asking, why we did not label the Perikatan cabinet a ‘backdoor’ government but instead describe them as a rebel government. Some readers or commentators also think that it will be extreme to name the Perikatan cabinet as a rebel government and would wanted us to softer our approach or definition towards it. Why should we be softer in our approach on these rebel MPs and immoral trading politicians when they have been harsh towards the people by betraying our mandates? In our opinion, the term rebel should not be concluded as an occasion that came with armed revolt or struggle that saw a legitimate or elected government overthrown. The term rebel also refers to passive revolt that took place in an unacceptable venue or a political plot was hatched to destabilised an elected government or plot hatched outside the parliament with the intention to take over from an elected government, whereby in the Perik...

Yesterday, a minister of the rebel government who held a press conference on behalf of the so-called national security council made a statement that the rebel government has allowed the police and the communications & multimedia commission (MCMC) to take whatever action possible against any news portal should they are found to have misreported any news or statements to the public. The rebel government should be held accountable on what they are trying to interpret here as such call for the authorities to take whatever action it could in the name of curbing misreport can be misguided and innocent parties could be wrongly taken into custody or charged in the court unnecessarily. First of all, can the rebel government clearly define what is the actual definition of its alleged misreport news, statement or claims of “fake news”? The rebel government cannot just simply haul up any parties and in the end telling us that “let the court decides”. Such words are unbecoming and irresponsi...

Baru-baru ini perdana menteri kerajaan pemberontak telah mengumumkan beberapa pakej bantuan di bawah Bantuan Prihatin Nasional (BPN) untuk rakyat jelata bagi menangani masalah kehilangan dan kekurangan punca pendapatan berikutan perintah kawalan pergerakan (PKP) yang telah dilanjutkan oleh kerana penyakit coronavirus yang tidak dapat dikawal di beberapa kawasan. Sehingga yang telah dilaporkan sehingga pada hari ini, ramai di kalangan rakyat yang layak menerima bantuan BPN telah ditolak bulat-bulat sementara mereka yang memperoleh pendapatan yang lumayan pula telah dilayakkan untuk menerima bantuan BPN seperti yang diumumkan oleh perdana menteri itu. Malah, ada juga di kalangan wakil-wakil rakyat serta isteri seorang bekas perdana menteri yang sedang dibicarakan atas tuduhan rasuah turut disahkan layak menerima BPN. Yang lebih memburukkan lagi keadaan sekarang adalah penerima BPN yang layak tetapi telah ditolak, terpaksa mengemukakan rayuan mereka melalui talian kepada Lembaga Ha...

Sweetness creates sickness, bitterness comes with the cure. Praise is sweetness, an excess of it will definitely cause sickness and criticism is like a bitter pill which cures. The rebel government must therefore have the courage to welcome criticisms from the public and not be afraid of it or taking high handed action against critics. “The ugliness you see in others is definitely a reflection of your own nature”. A man’s life, circumstances and the world are a reflection of his own thoughts and beliefs. All men regardless of whether he is a president, prime minister, minister, king, queen or whatever it is are mirrors of themselves, sores, ills and all you could name.

What we saw recently was the rebel government's minister of housing and local government, Zuraida Kamaruddin carrying out a publicity stunt demonstrating her alleged "expertise" on disinfection or sanitation works, spraying on the streets. Wearing a complete personal protective headgear with the word "MENTERI" on top of her head, she is in fact encouraging her officials to waste much needed public assets. Such protective gears which are already facing shortages nationwide should not be simply or unreasonably used and wasted like such just to demonstrate her so-called "commitment" to carry out such jobs on her own. In other words this is all fake. This minister must know that she is not paid to do such job. Hospital, clinics and quarantine centres are in dire needs of such protective gears and you are just wasting it for the purpose of your cheap publicity. Come on, Zuraida, you are not an expert on this disinfection or sanitation processes but o...
