After Kajang move, comes Mahathir’s move?

Hornbill Unleashed

RK ANAND

When the sacking of Anwar Ibrahim bruised his administration’s reputation, he had handpicked Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who was regarded as a pious man and nicknamed “Mr Clean”, to be his number two and successor.

But when Abdullah, bolstered by the biggest ever victory for BN in his inaugural general election as prime minister in 2004, decided to deviate from the charted course and carve a legacy for himself, Dr Mahathir Mohamad became livid.

He resolved to take “Mr Clean” to the cleaners. The dagger was unsheathed and plunged into the jugular.

Who says a woman cannot be a BETTER MB!

Hornbill Unleashed

Stephen Ng

There is only one word that can describe embattled Selangor Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim after he was sacked by his party, PKR over a number of issues.

The main reason, as I see it, is his defiance against the party. Having been such a senior corporate man, Khalid should know that defiance is not acceptable, whether in a commercial or a political organisation.

He had sacked the six Pakatan State Exco for the same reasons, although it was done in a more abrupt manner. Most of us who are watching the entire drama cannot help but ask why Khalid is so desperate as to cling on to the post that was given to him.

One vote for Khalid is one vote for Umno

Hornbill Unleashed

Sherilyn Goh

At the height of the menteri besar crisis, Selangor Umno chairperson Noh Omar, being the opportunist that he is, has so excitedly jumped on the bandwagon of condemning PKR by claiming to have known of Khalid’s wrongdoings all along.

Ironically, just after his master subsequently issued commands for all of Umno’s assemblypersons to throw their unconditional support behind Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim should a vote of no-confidence against the now independent MB be called for in the state legislative assembly, Noh Omar deferentially obliged, of course.

Same goes for their MCA colleagues who are ready to call for a press conference to censure PKR and Pakatan for Khalid’s wrongdoings on the very same day the commands were issued. They have no choice but to relent on an opportunity to score political brownie points. Poor MCA somehow has to remain irrelevant and bow down to their political masters as…

Bukan kali pertama MB Selangor dipecat

Pada tahun 1976 Umno juga telah memecat Harun Idris kerana enggan melepaskan jawatan walau selepas mendapat desakan daripada partinya sendiri

PETALING JAYA: Pengerusi Lembaga Disiplin Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Datuk Dr Tan Kee Kwong berkata ini bukan kali pertama dalam sejarah, Menteri Besar Selangor dipecat keahlian partinya, juga bukan kali pertama di Malaysia.

“Pada tahun 1976 Umno juga telah memecat Harun Idris kerana enggan melepaskan jawatan walau selepas mendapat desakan daripada partinya sendiri,” katanya di pejabat PKR.

Menurut Setiausaha Agung PKR, Saifuddin Nasution, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim tidak lagi mendapat sokongan daripada partinya.
“Saya berharap Khalid berundur secara baik dan setuju bagi memudahkan proses pertukaran MB Selangor,” katanya.

Hari ini,Tan Kee Kwong telah mengambil pendirian bahawa Khalid telah dipecat dari PKR, berkuatkuasa serta merta.

Menurutnya, Lembaga Disiplin telah meneliti serta mengadakan siasatan berkenaan kes disiplin dan tatatertib Khalid, dan ini telah dibincang dalam Majlis Pimpinan Pusat Keadilan.

“Beliau telah didapati mengingkari keputusan mesyuarat Majlis Pimpinan Pusat yang bermesyuarat pada 21 Julai lalu di mana parti telah sebulat suara memilih Presiden PKR, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail sebagai calon Menteri Besar Selangor yang baru.

“Khalid telah membuat kenyataan media pada 22 Julai 2014 yang menyatakan keengganan beliau meletak jawatan Menteri Besar dan sehingga hari ini beliau terus enggan melepaskan jawatan tersebut,” ujarnya sewaktu sidang media di Ibu Pejabat PKR, hari ini.

Sarawak PKR worries over Selangor MB crisis

Hornbill Unleashed

Dukau Papau

Sarawak PKR members and supporters are concerned that the controversy surrounding Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim may have a bearing on the performance of Sarawak Pakatan Rakyat in the coming state election.

Their concerns have been conveyed to state PKR chief Baru Bian (right).

Said a PKR divisional leader who did not wish to be named: “The people are getting fed-up with the internal bickering in PKR and the spats between PKR and its partner PAS.

“Some are even angry with what is going on as they have high hopes Pakatan will one day form the federal government.

Kenapa UMNO Bersungguh Sangat Sokong TSKI?

Saya bertanya soalan di atas kepada salah seorang penyokong tegar TSKI. Dia menjawab:

“Sayang ajk pas pusatku sendiri tak faham sepak terajang politik umno…mereka penuh strategi jahat kita pula tertipu. Mereka mahu TSKI ditukar tapi revers psyco… macam kes Hassan Ali dulu juga…malang lah pas selagi ada mcm ni jadi pemimpin.”

Walaubagaimanapun, sekiranya UMNO benar-benar ingin TSKI jatuh, jalannya amat mudah. Tidak perlu:

1) Reverse psikologi yang mungkin mengelirukan ahli UMNO yang umum mengetahui tahap kecerdikan mereka
2) Menjilat kembali segala kecaman terhadap TSKI selama ini dan
3) Menzahirkan kebodohan dan kemunafikan diri, dulu bersungguh kecam sekarang puji.

Apa yang UMNO perlu lakukan ialah teruskan serangan mereka terhadap TSKI dan berjanji akan bersama menyokong undi tidak percaya terhadap TSKI apabila ianya dikemukakan oleh PKR atau DAP. Pasti TSKI akan kalah. Mengapa tidak? Dalam keadaan itu, TSKI akan tertekan dan kembali mematuhi arahan PKR. Kerana yang menyokongnya tidak mencukupi hanya dengan PAS sahaja. Maka TSKI akan letak jawatan secara baik dan beri sokongan pada Wan Azizah.

Pada ketika itu, kehendak UMNO akan tercapai! ‘Nenek bodoh’, ‘boneka’, ‘wanita yang tidak dikenali’ yang 1,000 kali lagi lemah dari TSKI akan jadi MB! Dengan mudah sahaja UMNO akan menang PRU akan datang! Mudah sahaja, tetapi mengapa tidak buat?

14,000 pengguna di Simunjan alami masalah gangguan air

SIMUNJAN: Seramai 14,000 pengguna dengan 2,500 meter sambungan daripada Loji Rawatan Air Simunjan di sini meng-alami masalah gangguan air termasuk tekanan rendah ekoran penurunan paras air pada tahap kritikal dan hampir kering di kawasan tadahan loji tersebut.
Ekoran itu, Menteri Kemudahan Awam Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan memaklumkan bahawa pihaknya telah meng-arahkan Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) serta agensi terlibat menghantar air kepada penduduk yang terjejas.
Penghantaran tersebut juga termasuk ke kawasan yang tidak mempunyai akses jalan raya, jelasnya.
Dalam pada itu, Awang Tengah memberitahu, langkah jangka panjang bagi mengatasi kekurangan bekalan air pada musim kemarau di Simunjan adalah dengan membesarkan Loji Rawatan Air Slabi di Serian.
“Cadangan projek dengan jangkaan kos bernilai RM21 juta itu termasuk menaik taraf dan pemulihan Loji Rawatan Air Slabi.
“Selain itu, kami akan membina saluran paip se-panjang 4.8 kilometer (km) dari Slabi ke Rasau selain penyambungan paip 300 mm (sepanjang 12.4km) bagi menghantar air dari KM6.5 Jalan Gedong ke KM18.9 di Jambatan Sungai Skarang,” katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang media selepas melawat loji rawatan air di Simunjan, petang semalam.
Menurutnya, apabila Loji Rawatan Air Slabi siap ia akan dapat menyalurkan 73 juta liter sehari (MLD) bagi memenuhi permintaan air dari Gedong hingga Simunjan.
“Untuk rancangan jangka panjang lain, kawasan Simunjan bakal mendapat saluran air daripada Lembaga Air Kuching (KWB) apabila projek menaik taraf dan pemulihan Loji Rawatan Air Batu Kitang No.3 siap pada 2017 nanti,” ujarnya.
Dalam pada itu, Awang Tengah menegaskan bahawa pembinaan Empangan Bengoh juga penting untuk disiapkan terutama dalam situasi kemarau kerana ia mampu menyimpan jumlah air yang banyak.
“Jika ada kemudahan tetapi tiada air untuk disalurkan juga tidak berguna.
“Untuk itu, pembinaan Empangan Bengoh sangat penting kerana ia mampu menyimpan 114 juta meter padu air dan mempunyai kawasan tadahan seluas 127 km persegi,” katanya.
Kapasiti Loji Rawatan Air Simunjan ialah 5MLD yang mendapat sumber air daripada Sungai Lepong.
Paras air biasa pada ambilan pam di loji tersebut adalah sebanyak 6.8 meter dan pada musim kemarau sejak Jun lalu ialah 0.3 meter.
Turut menyertai lawatan tersebut ialah Menteri Pembangunan Infrastruktur dan Perhubungan Dato Sri Michael Manyin Jawong, Menteri Muda Kemudahan Awam (Bekalan Air) Datuk Sylvester Entri Muran dan Menteri Muda di Pejabat Ketua Menteri (Pembangunan Usahawan Bumiputera) Datuk Mohd Naroden Majais.
Terdahulu, Awang Tengah bersama rombongan berkesempatan menghadiri Majlis Ramah-Tamah Ai-dilfitri Peringkat Kampung Keleka, Simunjan di kediaman Kaunselor Awla Deris.

Washing dirty linen in public

Hornbill Unleashed

Tay Tian Yan

PKR has done yet another foolish thing: to wash its dirty linen in public.

The party flipped over Khalid’s past records, and compiled a 50-page report from some of the evidences it managed to find, from the out-of-court settlement with Bank Islam to the housing projects approved by the state government.

Its objective was to tell the entire world that Khalid indeed had an integrity issue, unfit to be the menteri besar.

Sure enough a party that is so selfless as to unearth its own leader’s flaws should by right win the generous applause of the public.
