LAPORAN TERHADAP KARPAL.RAKYAT MAKIN MENJAUHI UMNO

Laporan terhadap Karpal Singh sesungguhnya berniat jahat dan politik sempit UMNO.Itulah yang diluahkan oleh para penyokong PR.Ini adalah kerana pandangan Karpal adalah pandangan dari sudut perundangan.Memang betul pun kerana selama ini Raja-Raja tidak pernah mencampuri urusan politik yang melibatkan UMNO.Kita akan mengkajinya dalam beberapa peristiwa yang pernah UMNO lakukan kepada Raja-Raja Melayu.

Ahli Parlimen Bukit Gelugor itu sebelum ini mempersoalkan kuasa Sultan Perak khususnya dalam kes pertukaran Pengarah Jabatan Agama Islam Perak (JAIP) Datuk Jamry Sury.Namun menurut Karpal lagi apa yang beliau katakan adalah dari segi perundangan kuasa sultan terhadap pentadbiran kerajaan negeri.Sebenarnya Sultan Azlan sendiri pun telah selesaikan dengan cara yang elok bersama YB Ahmad Nizar.

Cuma yang menjadi masalahnya ialah perkara ini dibangkitkan oleh UMNo yang telah tewas dan tidak mendapat mandat dari orang -orang Melayu sendiri.Mereka cuba bangun kembali dengan membawa isu kedaulatan Sultan.Pada hal mereka juga yang pernah mempermainkan arahan sultan-sultan malah mengenepikan segala macam bentuk perkara yang seolah-olah sultan adalah tongkol kayu.

Di masa yang sama, puluhan perajurit memegang kain pemidang bertulis "Kami mahu Deris binatang!", "Kami sokong Deris sebagai MB", "Kami tak mahu Md Said". Banyak lagi kain pemidang yang ditayangkan di hadapan istana.Itu yang terbaru selepas piliharaya Semuanya berunsur menghina dan menderhakai pihak istana.

Ditahun 1993 Mahathir dengan sekongkolan akhbar utusan telah mendedahkan betapa Sultan-Sultan melakukan perkara-perkara yang begitu buruk,jijik,tidak bertimbang rasa,tidak berjiwa rakyat,malahan jika di fikirkan lagi,UMNO lah yang penah memalukan Raja-Raja Melayu sendiri . Maka jelaslah bahawa UMNO hanya mengambil kesempatan dan perasaan tidak puas hati mereka itu sebenarnya telah menyebabkan rakyat menjauhi mereka juga.

KU LI ON HOW UMNO CAN AVERT CROSSOVERS

Ku Li on how Umno can avert crossovers
Fauwaz Abdul Aziz May 8, 08 4:21pm
The Umno leadership can avert crossovers of party members and those from Barisan Nasional to Pakatan Rakyat if it provides firm and definite leadership and direction, said former Umno vice-president and Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.Reiterating a statement made previously that the issue of party-hopping should not be viewed or treated lightly, the Umno veteran added that it would create a "situation of instability"."We need to ensure that it does not happen," he told reporters when met at Parliament lobby this morning.He also said doubts among Umno members in the party leadership is what is causing them to feel the need to "change direction"."We have to convince them not to change their position (about the party)," he said.Razaleigh was asked to comment on the warning yesterday by Dr Mahathir Mohamad of the possibility that disgruntled BN elected reps will join the Pakatan coalition to form the next federal government.
BN, Umno not shakenThe former prime minister also said the matter could not be taken lightly as another bad performance at the next general election would spell doom for BN."The urge to cross over, especially when there is no inherent loyalty to the party, is very strong. It can really happen. At first I wanted to dismiss this possibility. But in studying the situation, I feel there is great danger," said Mahathir.While Mahathir has been a vocal critic of Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi - whom he had chosen to succeed his 22-year rule - soon after Abdullah demonstrated a shift in certain policies, his attacks stepped up drastically since the March 8 general election.The poll saw BN losing its two-thirds majority in Parliament, failing to win Kelantan from Islamic party PAS, and the fall of four states to Pakatan.Blaming the disaster on Abdullah, Mahathir and his supporters have called for Abdullah to step down as Umno president. Soon after the general election, Razaleigh offered himself to contest for the party top post to replace Abdullah.PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim, meanwhile, has repeatedly declared that Pakatan is closing in towards wresting the federal reins of government from BN.Asked today whether the loyalty of Umno members to their party is now in question, Razaleigh said he "can agree and disagree" to the proposition as the issue hinges on the faith the members have in their leaders."If the leadership can be firm and provide a definite direction, there is no need for people to feel doubtful and uncertain about their leaders," said Razaleigh.He denied, however, that Umno or the BN coalition are 'shaken'."I don't know. That's up to the people to perceive as being so. I think Umno is not shaken, Barisan is not shaken," the Kelantan prince added.
