PAU2020: UMNO Akan Tarik Diri Dari Kerajaan; MKT Putuskan Bila

UMNO telah berputus untuk menarik diri dari kerajaan Malaysia, sekiranya kerajaan tidak mengadakan Pilihan Raya Umum selepas tamat tempoh darurat.

Hal itu telah diputuskan ketika Perhimpunan Agung UMNO hari ini di Pusat Dagangan Dunia Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL), dan diumumkan presidennya Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Beliau berkata, ahli-ahli UMNO tidak akan gusar melepaskan jawatan mereka sebagai ahli kabinet menteri dan pengerusi GLC jika hal tersebut berlaku.

Tempoh yang akan diberikan sebelum hal itu dibuat akan diputuskan Majlis Kerja Tertinggi UMNO, seperti yang dipersetujui secara sebulat suara oleh ahli-ahli UMNO yang hadir pada perhimpunan tersebut.

Menurut Timbalan Presiden UMNO, Dato’ Seri Utama Mohamad Hassan, UMNO sebagai parti terbesar haruslah berani melangkah sebagai parti terbesar negara, dan jangan menjadi gajah besar yang tidak boleh mematahkan ranting.

“Kita nak bawa UMNO ke mana? Putrajaya. Kalau nak ke Putrajaya, kena menang,” kata beliau ketika ucapan penggulungan sebentar tadi.

Ketika satu sidang akhbar selepas itu, Ahmad Zahid turut menegaskan bahawa hal itu adalah keputusan muktamad, memandangkan bahawa ia telah diputuskan melalui satu perhimpunan agung, dan UMNO tidak lagi di simpangan.

Ahmad Zahid turut menggelar pengkhianat-pengkhianat politik sebagai ‘makhluk perosak’ kerana tidak mengenang jasa dan bantuan yang diberi UMNO sebagai parti terbesar dalam membentuk kerajaan Perikatan Nasional.

Apabila ditanya tentang pemimpin UMNO yang cenderung ke arah Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, beliau menjelaskan bahawa hal tersebut bukan di bawah bidang kuasa beliau sebagai presiden, tetapi sebaliknya adalah keputusan Jawatankuasa Disiplin.

Undi 18: On ke Tak On?

Baca versi Jawi di sini.

Sebagai seorang belia, isu Undi 18 amat dekat di hati saya. Saya telah banyak menulis tentang hal ini sebelum RUU tersebut diluluskan pada tahun 2019.

Ketika itu, para pemimpin politik daripada semua parti politik telah bersatu menyokong Undi 18, khasnya Armada yang memperjuangkan hak orang muda. Antara alasannya ialah hal ini selaras dengan amalan demokrasi dunia.

Maka pada 16 Julai 2019, Dewan Rakyat telah meluluskan Rang Undang-undang (RUU) Perlembagaan (Pindaan) 2019 bagi menurunkan had umur mengundi, pendaftaran pengundi automatik, dan menurunkan umur calon bertanding pilihan raya kepada 18 tahun.

Barisan Ahli Parlimen kerajaan dan pembangkang mencipta sejarah apabila menyokong majoriti lebih dua pertiga bagi meluluskan Rang Undang-undang (Pindaan) 2019, di Dewan Rakyat, Selasa.Speaker Datuk Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof ketika mengumumkan perkara itu berkata, seramai 211 ahli menyokong, melebihi jumlah yang diperlukan iaitu 148 orang.

MStar – Sejarah tercipta, Parlimen lulus RUU undi 18 tahun -16 Julai 2019

Pada 25 Julai 2019, Dewan Negara meluluskan RUU tersebut dengan majoriti dua per tiga.

Pindaan berkenaan memperoleh sokongan 47 daripada 68 ahli Dewan Negara iaitu melebihi dua pertiga undian majoriti yang diperlukan, selepas 24 senator mengambil bahagian dalam sesi perbahasan.

Harian Metro – Dewan Negara lulus umur mengundi 18 tahun – 25 Julai 2019

Maka belia di seluruh negara dengan gembira meraikan hal ini dan ramai yang bercita-cita untuk mengundi pada PRU15.

Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Hal Ehwal Undang-undang), Takiyuddin Hassan pada November 2020, mengesahkan bahawa peraturan baharu ini akan diterima pakai selewat-lewatnya Julai tahun ini.

Menyedihkan lagi, kebelakangan ini kedengaran pula kenyataan beberapa pemimpin kerajaan mempersoalkan isu yang telah diputuskan oleh mereka sendiri.

Kenapa sehingga bagai ‘rumah siap pahat berbunyi’?

Kematangan para belia untuk membuat pilihan telah dipersoalkan. Walhal, dua tahun yang lalu para pemimpin berpendapat bahawa belia berusia 18 tahun telah matang untuk mengundi.

Dalam situasi ini, ramai yang risau apakah aspirasi Undi 18 yang telah dijanjikan akan tercapai?

Belia tertanya-tanya, untuk PRU 15, Undi 18 on ke tak on?

Marilah Mengundi!!!

GE13:Should BN Politicians Who Are Not Chosen As Candidates Support PR?

Barisan Nasional’s leader, Yang Amat Berhormat Dato’ Sri Mohammad Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak has announced the BN’s candidates for the coming 13th General Election.

I’m sure that the chosen ones are happy to have been chosen but I’m not sure if all of the BN’s politicians who are not chosen as candidates are happy for their teammates and will still work hard for the party during the campaign period.

It is a pity that when this happens, there are politicians who had not been nominated as candidates will sabotage their teammates and even vote for the oppositions as a revenge.

That is indeed a very bad thing to do and they will not gain anything by doing so.

Imagine what will they feel if others do that to them later and what will happen if the oppositions win the election.

And when that happened, sometimes BN lost in the election as in some cases during the 12th General Election.

But some politicians are very selfish and only think about themselves; not their party, the people or their country.

Before the nomination day, they told people that the oppositions will destroy the country and when they are not chosen, some will talk bad things about BN, sabotage their teammates or campaign for the oppositions or even join the oppositions parties together with their supporters.

Of course they must be sad because they feel that they have worked very hard and done very well and deserved to be nominated as a candidate but adults always tell children like me, we cannot always get what we wanted.

As I wrote earlier, revenge won’t bring any good to the party and politicians must be faithful to their party if they think that their party is the best to lead the country.

My advice to those politicians is to work hard for BN as if they were the candidate themselves to make sure that BN wins in the coming general election.

Maybe in the next general election, they will be chosen as candidates and the candidates whom they helped before, will campaign and vote for them.

As the idiom says, ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed’.

Sometimes I wanted something from my mother and she promised to give it to me the next day but something happened and I only receive them months later.

I was sad and sometimes I complained and I cried but my mother keeps on telling me that but Allah knows better what is the best for me; and for the same reason Allah knows best why things happened the way they happened.

Maybe there will be certain problems that will happen that the other person cannot face or solve but the nominated politicians could.

We should be thankful to all the things that Allah gave us and understand that Allah is always watching us.

It is good enough to be a politician and be able to work for the country; in fact one can still help others even if one is not in power.

After all we cannot get everything in this world just for us alone; so please be an honest and responsible politician.

Stop doing silly things and stop behaving like little children, remember, there’s no fool like an old fool.

That is why we should not vote PAKATAN RAKYAT!

Vote for BARISAN NASIONAL!
