Khairy & Shafie are scared Anwar will return - Zaid mocks PANICKY Umno leaders

Written by Malaysia Chronicle
KUALA LUMPUR - Former Umno leader Zaid Ibrahim told his former party mates to take it easy after they publicly shot down a proposal from Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim that Prime Minister Najib Razak holds a national dialogue with the Opposition to discuss critical issues now plaguing the nation including crime, corruption, racial polarization and religious intolerance.

"Khairy dan Shafie Apdal takut kalau Anwar masok balik. Mereka tak perlu takut. Anwar hanya menyahut seruan PM untok berdailog #fb," Zaid said on Twitter.


(Khairy and Shafie are afraid Anwar makes a comeback. They don't need to be afraid. Anwar just wants to have a dialogue with PM)
Anwar's offer has stirred up a storm in Umno, with ministers Nazri Aziz and Tengku Adnan, joining the fray.
Mukhriz Mahathir, the son of former premier Mahathir Mohamad, was the most vocal, virtually forbidding any interaction with Anwar while Khairy called Anwar's offer "an act of desperation".

"My view is that it is a waste of time to have any dialogue with Anwar," Rural Development minister Shafie Apdal told reporters on Monday.

"The election is over, we do not need to give him a platform. What is important now is for us to continue building the country, to unite the people."

Vested interests pile pressure on Najib

Yet, the speed with which the Umno supreme council had deliberated on the proposal, which was made on Friday morning, shows how anxiously the ruling party is viewing the current political stalemate in Malaysia.
While Umno-BN won 133 seats versus Pakatan's 89 in the 2013 election, Pakatan had won 51% of the total votes cast.

Najib's cousin, Hishammuddin Hussein, had told reporters that the supreme council had reached a "collective decision" on Friday evening, just hours after Anwar had made his offer, but it would be up to Najib to make the announcement.

"That is Umno speak for the supreme council deciding to allow Najib to make the final call. What the big shots are doing now is to show Najib their views on the matter. They want him to reject the offer," a political source told Malaysia Chronicle.

Don't be duped by the enemies: Statesman vs boors

Within the Pakatan Rakyat, PAS Youth has warned Anwar not to be duped by Umno leaders

"We are advising Anwar to be careful with any of the enemies' political games. Our concern is that he can get trapped...by individuals or groups with vested interests," said PAS Youth vice- chief Raja Ahmad Iskandar in a statement.

Shamsul Iskandar, the chief of the Youth wing at Anwar's PKR party, has responded with a reminder that Anwar was calling for unity talks related to policy issues and not proposing to form a unity government with BN.

"Saranan dialog PR & BN oleh YB DS @anwaribrahim ialah berkaitan isu2 rakyat. Bukannya "Unity Government"! Justeru tidak perlu khuatir. (The call for dialogue between Pakatan and BN by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is related to issues concerning the people. Not with unity government. So no need to worry)," PKR Youth Chief Shamsul Iskandar Akin said on Twitter.

Don't be discouraged if Umno rejects: We won't lose anything - DAP's Mohd Ariff


Meanwhile, DAP MP for Raub Mohd Ariff Sabri said Umno would be the biggest loser if it chose to ignore the call from Anwar and Pakatan to heed the wishes of the people.
"We won't lose of anything. If Anwar Ibrahim's bid for peace is not accepted, it does not matter. If Umno leaders refuse, do not be disheartened. Umno will be buried in the 14th general election. We will fight Umno until it loses," Mohd Ariff wrote in in a posting titled Dalam seminggu yang lalu (In the past week).

Gambar The Malaysian Insider oleh Nazir Sufari, 2 September, 2013.Semua pihak cuba menjauhkan diri daripada agenda kerajaan perpaduan namun bagi aktivis sosial, Hishamudin Rais, keadaan itu ambat laun akan berlaku juga.

"Saya positif, ia akan berlaku," katanya kepada The Malaysian Insider ketika bertemu dengannya, pagi ini.

Asia Sentinal sebelum ini melaporkan, Ketua Umum PKR, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim mengesahkan kepada mereka, Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak menawarkan pembentukan kerajaan perpaduan dengannya.
Sehubungan iu, Anwar turut menggesa pertemuan segera diadakan antara Pakatan Rakyat (PR) dan Barisan Nasional (BN).

"Titik pertemuan BN dan PR perlu segera dicari bagi menyelamatkan negara di samping menyeru melupakan kesalahan masing-masing sempena hari kemerdekaan negara,” katanya pada satu sidang media di Ibu Pejabat PKR di Petaling Jaya, minggu lalu.

Namun, Anwar menegaskan dalam majlis itu, ia tidak ada kaitan dengan isu kerajaan perpaduan.
Hishamuddin yang juga penulis berkata, kenyataan Anwar itu jika dibaca daripada yang tersirat bermaksud ke arah menubuhkan kerajaan perpaduan.

Katanya, walaupun ramai aktivis sepertinya tidak akan bersetuju dengan pendekatan ini, beliau tidak akan menentangnya.

"Saya yakin mereka akan marah dengan tindakan ini kerana ia tidak akan menyebabkan perubahan struktur yang kita mahu. Ia akan hanya berlaku perubahan menggunakan 'gincu dan bedak' sahaja.
"Tetapi ini adalah salah satu proses dalam pematangan kepada sebuah negara dan saya faham keperluan kepada perkara ini," katanya.

Isu kerajaan perpaduan mula disebut oleh Presiden PAS, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang selepas pilihan raya umum 2008 ketika semua pihak letih menghadapi pilihan raya kecil demi pilihan raya kecil.
Menjelang pilihan raya kecil Bukit Gantang di Perak dan Bukit Selambau di Kedah, dalam satu wawancara, Abdul Hadi mencadangkan dibentuk kerajaan perpaduan antara BN dengan PR.

Namun, ia ditolak dan disalahertikan sebagai perpaduan antara Umno dan PAS untuk kepentingan Melayu dan Islam.
Ramai juga beranggapan ia tidak sesuai pada waktu itu kerana PR sedang menuju kemenangan selepas BN hanya menang tanpa majoriti dua pertiga dalam pilihan raya sebelumnya.

Cadangan kerajaan perpaduan diumpamakan 'menghantar ambulan kepada kerajaan BN yang sedang nazak' pada waktu itu.

Selepas pilihan raya umum ke 13, kerajaan perpaduan timbul semula da nada di kalangan pimpinan PR,  ia disokong oleh mereka yang menentangnya sebelum ini.

Kali ini bagi mereka masa adalah sesuai selepas sudah berusaha dan terbukti cara itu gagal dan tidak pergi ke mana, maka pendekatan lain perlu diambil.

"Beritahu Anwar, terimalah," kata seorang pemimpin PAS yang menyokong idea ini kepada seorang pemimpin kanan PKR dalam pertemuan mereka baru-baru ini. - 2 September, 2013.
