SEMALAM saya di Bukit Mertajam, Machang Bubok, Penanti dan Seberang Jaya. Ada majlis Kong Xi Fa Cai, pelancaran cawangan parti, majlis perkahwinan dan jamuan.

Pastinya sibuk lantaran drama "kehilangan" dua ADUN Perak. Maka majlis terganggu dengan deringan telefon dari pimpinan KeADILan Perak, Menteri Besar Dato' Seri Nizar Jamaluddin dan pimpinan PAS serta Ketua Menteri Lim Guan Eng dan pimpnan DAP.
Semua keenam-enam ADUN Perak termasuk Dato' Nasaruddin menemui saya di Yayasan Aman, Penanti. Sikap dan pendirian tegas mereka dihargai.

Ulasan saya mengenai episod terbaru:

Pertama, babak kehilangan menggerunkan kerana mengingatkan tragedi Altantuya dan detektif Bala yang ada kaitannya dengan tokoh yang sama. Dalam babak terbaru ini, Dato' Seri Najib terlibat secara langsung!

Malah dalam ucapan menyambut kemenangan calon PAS Kuala Terengganu, saya telah menjangka tindakan lebih ganas oleh pimpinan Umno-BN. Jika ikhlas dan benar pendirian mereka, mengapa harus menghilangkan diri? Bedakan dengan pendirian Dato' Nasa di Bota!
Kedua, Perdana Menteri Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi kongkalikong mengalu-alukan kehadhiran mereka ke dalam Umno walhal beliau dan kelompoknya membebel soal tidak bermoralnya langkah tersebut!

Ketiga, apakah lompatan terbaru melibatkan sogokan wang dan ugutan pendakwaan rasuah yang terdahulu? Dato' Seri Najib perlu menjawab kerana penglibatan beliau memujuk kedua ADUN tersebut.

Akhirulkalam, kita yakin insya-Allah dengan suara rakyat. Jentera kita harus bersedia bertarung di gelanggang Perak. _

Malaysia's Anwar prepares for new by-elections

: 02 February 2009 1522 hrs





KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim on Monday said his party was gearing up for two local by-elections seen as a further test of the political mood weeks after the opposition snatched a parliamentary seat from the ruling coalition. The seats in the northern state of Perak were vacated after two legislators from Anwar's Keadilan party who face trial on corruption charges resigned.

The opposition alliance made huge strides in general elections last March, winning five states including Perak and a third of parliamentary seats from the National Front coalition which has ruled for half a century. Since then, the National Front led by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has lost two parliamentary constituencies, the most recent last month. The results, which did not alter the balance of power but showed the government had failed to claw back support after the disastrous general elections, triggered calls for sweeping reforms from within the coalition.

Anwar said he was waiting for the Election Commission to fix the polling date for the new by-elections. "The state speaker V. Sivakumar has declared the two state seats in the northern Perak state as vacant after receiving resignations letters from the two state councillors," Anwar told AFP.

"The opposition is drawing up the election strategy now. We hope to win," he added. The two state cabinet ministers who stepped down -- Jamaludin Mat Radzi, 52, and Osman Jailu, 57 -- were last year charged with taking bribes and are due to appear for a court hearing on February 10. The resignations have thrown politics in the fragile opposition-held Perak state into disarray.

The opposition alliance led by Keadilan controls the 59-seat state assembly with a slim majority. With the two vacant seats, the opposition now holds 30 while the National Front coalition has 27.
