MAY 2, 2013

This morning, I will be disclosing information and findings regarding the sudden surge in the arrival of dubious individuals on chartered flights since April 25th. These are foreign nationals as well as Malaysians from Sabah and Sarawak who have been flown in to Peninsula Malaysia.

We have also received information that there has been a sudden surge in the arrivals of foreign workers from Thailand, Cambodia, Pakistan and Myanmar through Bukti Kayu Hitam as well those from Indonesia through Port Kelang and other coastal entry points.

The timing of this surge in arrivals and its sheer size raises naturally raises the question of whether they have been transported here surreptitiously to vote in favour of Barisan Nasional.

We also received information that these flights were made at the instruction of the Prime Minister’s Department and made through a letter signed by a minister. The facts that we have established so far are:

The number of these flights, as many as 16 per day from East Malaysia primarily departing from Kuching and Kota Kinabalu as well as Sandakan, Miri and Sibu, with some flights using jumbo jets. The number of charter flights per day is more than even the number of charter flights during the Haj season.

Based on our calculations, as many as 4,500 people are being transported via the in-bound flights into KLIA each day. This has been taking place each day with the exception of May 1st, since April 25th.

This means at least 40,500 dubious individuals have and are still entering via this method of chartered flights via KLIA. This does not include foreign nationals who are being moved through land routes and seaports or other airport facilities such as LCCT.

The points of arrival of these flights have been KLIA Sepang as well as Bayan Lepas and Senai. We also have information that military aircraft (C130 Hercules) are being used to bring in these phantom voters to land in smaller airports such as Batu Berendam and Ipoh.

We have credible documentary evidence that these groups of foreign nationals are being transported from the airports to various sequestration points within Selangor/Kuala Lumpur and the other affected states using transport provided by various government agencies as well as charted bus operators;

We believe that the Election Commission in collaboration with the Prime Minister’s Office, and the involvement of a number of other agencies are involved in this operation. We now demand answers to the following questions from the relevant parties:

1. Can the Inspector General of Police and the Chief of the Armed Forces assure us that the Royal Malaysian Police and Malaysian Armed Forces are neutral professionals and are not involved in a plot to keep Barisan Nasional in power? Can both of them confirm that their intelligence personnel are not involved in orchestrating the movement of these dubious people?
2. Can the Chief of Armed Forces explain if the various Territorial Army (Askar Wataniah) camps have been used as accommodation centers for these dubious individuals?
3. Can the Director General of Immigration explain the role of the various depots in Lenggeng, Sepang and Semenyih in providing accommodation these foreign phantom voters?
4. Can the Director General of the National Registration Department explain whether foreign workers in the Sepang Formula 1 Circuit and KLIA have been given Malaysian identity cards?

We warn the Election Commission and its cahoots that there are many patriotic Malaysians in the various security agencies, airlines and airport employees who are angry and upset that the sovereignty of the country is being compromised. These patriots are monitoring and documenting all the suspicious movements groups of individuals. We have video recordings, photographic evidence and documents to support our claims. We also have the flight schedule of these chartered flights.

We want to warn the current Barisoan Nasional caretaker government not to deny Malaysians their democratic rights to vote freely and fairly. They should also not exploit powerless and marginalized foreign nationals or Malaysians for their goal of staying in power.

I also call upon Malaysians to document all evidence of the inflow of these imported voters. Take photos or videos of their movements. For those have in any way been involved in this operation, please forward to us the evidences that you have. We must protect the sovereignty of the rakyat.

Finally, we urge every single voter who loves Malaysia to come out to take control of our destiny by voting and not let the BN steal our election by using these dubious voters. If Pakatan Rakyat, Insyallah, is given the mandate by the rakyat, we will declare 6th May 2013 a national holiday to allow Malaysia to return home after the voting exercise.

We must overwhelm these imported voters with our high turnout to ensure our dignity and sovereignty. Let us exorcise this country from the demons of BN and the Election Commission.

ABC News

Malaysia’s opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim, has alleged that the ruling party’s vote could be bolstered with phantom ballots, in this weekend’s election.

TRANSCRIPT

TONY JONES, PRESENTER: Polling predicts this weekend’s election in Malaysia will be the closest in the country’s history.

Malaysia’s Barisan Nasional coalition has ruled for 57 years, but at the last election in 2008, the party lost its two-thirds parliamentary majority.

Now the country is waiting to see whether the Opposition, led by controversial figure Anwar Ibrahim, can force a change in government.

South-East Asia correspondent Zoe Daniel reports from Kuala Lumpur.

ZOE DANIEL, REPORTER: It’s still a long shot. Malaysia’s Pakatan Rakyat coalition must win about 35 more seats than it currently holds to take government in its own right. A big challenge in a country where people have been voting only one way for almost six decades.

The Opposition is made up of three multi-racial parties, one of which is predominantly Chinese, one predominantly Islamic and is led by the sometimes controversial former ruling party deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim, who spent six years in jail after allegations of corruption and sexual misconduct, now widely interpreted as a Government smear campaign.

The ruling party says the Opposition is fractious and unreliable and that its election could lead to instability in multi-racial Malaysia.

The Opposition responds by saying that the Government has been relying on the politics of fear and using cash handouts, mass media dominance and fraudulent stacking of voting roles to win Sunday’s poll.

We spoke with Mr Anwar at his office in Kuala Lumpur.

Mr Anwar, welcome. Are you going to win this election?

ANWAR IBRAHIM, OPPOSITION LEADER: Well, initially I said I was cautiously optimistic, but now I think with the upsurge of – in growing support, I’m very confident that we’ll make it.

ZOE DANIEL: You have to win 35 seats to get that majority. That’s a big ask, isn’t it?

ANWAR IBRAHIM: Not really because we are able to consolidate our position in the five states, including Kuala Lumpur, six states. So we have been enormously successful in our penetration into the rural heartland, particularly around Jahor, Saba and Sarawak, where we failed miserably in 2008.

ZOE DANIEL: What will prevent you from winning?

ANWAR IBRAHIM: Massive fraud. We have presented our case based on the March electoral roll where we find even postal voters who are actually designated there as Bangladeshis or Pakistanis or Indonesians, but they are supposed to serve the Army or the police. So clearly, there’s a fraud there. (Inaudible), more than 28,000 designated as Filipinos and Indonesians who are voters based in Saba but voting in Kuala Lumpur or Selangor and there has not been a satisfactory response from the Election Commission.

ZOE DANIEL: Are you disappointed that Australia didn’t send election observers?

ANWAR IBRAHIM: Well it’s quite baffling to my mind because the initial response from Australia is that there’s no interference in domestic affairs. We are not asking them to support any party. We are asking them to remain consistent with Australian foreign policy position in support of freedom and democracy. Why do you make so much noise about Iraq or Afghanistan or Myanmar and mute it with regard to Malaysia?

ZOE DANIEL: If you win, who will be Prime Minister next week?

ANWAR IBRAHIM: Well of course, as we say, we are party by consensus. There is talk that I may be able to – I mean, given the chance, or otherwise we’ll have to re-look at it if there is any other possibility or other candidate.

ZOE DANIEL: Is that a good answer though, because wouldn’t it be better if the population at least had certainty on that issue?

ANWAR IBRAHIM: Well, generally to the masses and all my campaign trips, Keadilan or DEP or Islamic Party leaders, they all – they always introduce me or invite me as the next Prime Minister, but I would leave it at that.

ZOE DANIEL: Thanks for your time.

ANWAR IBRAHIM: Thank you.

OVERLAPPING SEATS BETWEEN PAS AND KEADILAN RESOLVED

The past two weeks have seen the unrelenting assault by the UMNO/BN machinery and media in their attempts to drive a wedge among the Pakatan Rakyat parties and to give the impression that the coalition is in disarray. Nothing can be further from the truth. Once again, as can be seen by the massive turn out of Pakatan supporters and the people in our ceramahs, we have proven them wrong.

The renewed psywar and dirty tactics campaign began with their circulation of yet another sex video to humiliate Pakatan leaders followed by the use of the Registrar of Societies to precipitate a crisis in DAP regarding the party’s legitimacy and casting grave doubt over the authority of the Central Executive Committee at the eleventh hour. Since nomination day, their media have also gone to town about the supposed split between PAS and PKR over a few overlapping seats. The suggestion that this is ‘a time bomb waiting to explode’ is sheer nonsense.

In the spirit of solidarity and compromise that holds together Pakatan Rakyat, the leaders of PAS and KEADILAN met over the weekend to discuss the seven overlapping seats – one parliament and seven state seats or 0.5% of parliament seats and 1.1% of state seats. We have resolved this miscommunication that had resulted in some confusion over who was to contest which seat.

As we now stand, KEADILAN has conceded some seats and PAS has done likewise. Of the seven overlapping seats in contention, PAS will keep the three Terengganu state seats of Bukit Besi, Seberang Takir and Kota Putera. Keadilan will field our candidates in the parliamentary seat of Labuan, and the state seats of Sungai Acheh in Pulau Pinang and Panti in Johor.

The state seat of Kota Damansara in Selangor, which will be contested by PSM under the Keadilan logo, is still being discussed, as this was a seat allocation decided by Pakatan Rakyat. I am confident we will be able to resolve this very soon.

Although the Election Commission might not permit us to withdraw the candidates already fielded and print either the PAS or KEADILAN logos on the ballot paper, KEADILAN President, Dr Wan Azizah has issued letters revoking the watikah (authorization letters) of our candidates for three seats we have conceded to PAS.

We do not mind the publicity that is given by the alternative media critical as it may be but we condemn the utterly warped reports by the UMNO-BN media that continue to spin lies and fabrications in their attempt to paint Pakatan in a bad light. Furthermore, their persistent resort to libel and slander in the name of press freedom cannot be accepted or tolerated by any right minded citizen. That they are doing this with impunity speaks volumes about the state of rule of law and due process under UMNO-BN.

For the next ten days ahead, we urge voters, supporters and Pakatan Rakyat local party machineries to double their efforts to bring to fruition our goal to win Putrajaya. Insyallah, with the rakyat’s support, we can and we will.

KUALA LUMPUR 2 APRIL: Lagu ‘Pasti Kau Ingin” dendangan kumpulan Exist ciptaan Jay D dan lirik Musrad atau nama sebenarnya Musa Radhi yang memaparkan graffiti Ketua Umum KEADILAN, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim kini boleh ditonton melalui Youtube.

Video klip ‘Pasti Kau Ingin” boleh dilayari DI SINI.

Malaysiakini

Ketua pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim memfailkan saman fitnah ke atas penulis blog Papagomo selepas individu yang dikaitkan dengan Umno itu gagal memohon maaf dan menarik balik satu siri gambar lucah.

Penulis blog itu yang nama sebenarnya Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris, mendakwa foto berkenaan merupakan ramakan daripada video yang didakwa menujukkan keintiman Anwar dengan seorang lelaki.

Peguam dan naib presiden PKR N Surendran ketika memfailkan saman itu berkata notis 48 jam untuk Papagomo menarik balik dan memohon maaf atas penerbitan berkenaan telah tamat dan penulis blog tersebut mengancam untuk memuatkan video terbabit.

Peguam itu berkata Anwar juga tidak akan membuat laporan polis atau aduan kepada Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia memandangkan tindakan itu sudah banyak kali dilakukan sebelum ini.

“Nampaknya agensi ini tidak akan bertindak ke atas aduan keran mereka adalah alat Umno dan BN. Memfailkan tindakan di mahkamah adalah lebih baik,” katanya.

Anwar menamakan Wan Muhammad Azri sebagai defendan tunggal. Selain kuantum, MP Permatang Pauh itu turut menuntut ganti rugi am, teruk dan teladan.

Beliau juga memohon injunksi untuk menghalang Papagomo daripada mengulang semua atau menerbitkan kenyataan serupa.

March 19, 2013

Federal opposition leader Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim has today commenced legal proceedings against one Wan Muhammad Azri b Wan Deris who is the owner/operator of the Umno-linked website known as ” Papa Gomo “. On 16th March 2013, the Papa Gomo website published fake photos and vicious allegations against Dato’ Seri Anwar in an attempt to implicate him in another fabricated sex video. The faking and distribution of photos and false allegations of a sexual nature against Dato’ Seri Anwar has become a trademark of the gutter politics practised by Umno and its bloggers.

The blogger Papa Gomo is notorious for his close and confidential ties with the Umno leadership, including Umno Vice President Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. In December 2011, the blogger was even allowed privileged access to KD Tun Razak, which is one of our Navy’s newest and most advanced submarine, during a controversy between BN and PR on defence capabilities.

The hidden hand of Umno is thus clearly present behind this latest disgusting attack upon the character and reputation of the leader of Pakatan Rakyat. Umno’ s heavy reliance upon this type of sleazy politics and dubious bloggers highlights their utter moral and ethical collapse. It proves Umno-BN’s complete unfitness to continue to rule and administer our nation.

In the letter of demand sent today, Dato’ Seri Anwar’s solicitors have demanded that the blogger Papa Gomo withdraw his malicious allegations, apologize within 48 hours from today, and pay damages in the sum of RM 100 million. The sum of damages demanded reflects the blogger’s close ties with Umno amd Umno’s clear backing for him.

The Malaysian Insider

Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat mengecam tindakan beberapa blogger pro-Umno yang meletak gambar kontroversi Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, sambil menambah perkara tersebut membuktikan mereka sudah tidak mempunyai modal untuk berpolitik.

Akhbar Sinar Harian melaporkan Nik Aziz juga mempertikaikan kesahihan gambar-gambar yang sudah tersebar luas di alam media sosial, memandangkan tiada bukti yang kukuh yang menyabitkan ketua pembangkang tersebut dengan amalan keji tersebut.

“Mereka belum puas ‘cincang’ Anwar.

“Kita orang politik ini sepatutnya kena lawan hujah bukan peribadi,” katanya yang dipetik dalam akhbar berbahasa Melayu tersebut.

Semalam, The Malaysian Insider melaporkan Anwar menafikan tuduhan blogger pro-Umno yang meletak beberapa gambar individu menyerupai dirinya mengadakan hubungan seks sejenis yang sudah tersebar luas ketika ini.

Anwar juga menuduh ia adalah satu lagi fitnah jahat dan politik jijik yang digunakan oleh pemimpin Umno untuk memburukkan imejnya serta tidak menolak akan mengambil tindakan undang-undang keatas pihak terbabit menyebarkannya.

“Ia adalah gimik politik jijik oleh Umno… Ia fitnah jijik menjelang pilihan raya.

“Saya belum putuskan akan ambil tindakan undang-undang ataupun tidak, tapi saya akan beritahu peguam saya dan biar beliau putuskan,” kata Anwar.

Pendedahan kontroversi oleh blogger pro-Umno tersebut merupakan yang kedua dituduh keatas Anwar selepas 21 Mac 2011 trio “Datuk T” iaitu bekas ketua menteri Melaka Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Thamby Chik, bekas bendahari agung Perkasa Datuk Shuib Lazim dan ahli perniagaan Datuk Shazryl Eskay Abdullah menggemparkan negara apabila mempertontonkan rakaman video seks kepada wakil media di hotel Carcosa Seri Negara.

Anwar juga telah menafikan lelaki itu dalam video tersebut adalah beliau dan membuat laporan di ibu pejabat polis daerah Dang Wangi pada 22 Mac 2011.

Malaysiakini

Bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tun Musa Hitam menegaskan tidak adil jika menganggap negara akan bankrap jika pembangkang berjaya memerintah negara.

Menurutnya, sekiranya mengambil alih Putrajaya, gabungan tersebut akan berusaha sedaya upaya untuk mengekalkan ekonomi negara berkembang dengan baik, lapor Sinar Harian.

Harian itu melaporkan Musa (kanan) sebagai berkata, perkara penting adalah memberi gambaran baik terhadap ekonomi negara supaya mampu menarik pelabur.

“Itu kenyataan politik, bagi pendapat saya tidak, malah saya telah ulas perkara ini secara terbuka, termasuk kepada pihak bank dan orang luar. Ini adalah pendapat dan pendirian peribadi saya.

“Jika pembangkang memerintah, mereka tidak akan membuat pelabur dari luar negara lari.

“Mereka tidak akan buat sedemikian dan membuat ekonomi bankrap,” beliau dilapor sebagai berkata dalam sidang media, semalam.

Sinar Harian

Dilihat sebagai perkembangan terbaru yang akan memanaskan lagi politik menjelang Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13, bapa Saiful Bukhari, Azlan Mohd Lazim, hari ini mendakwa anaknya itu dipergunakan oleh pihak-pihak tertentu tidak bertanggungjawab – mendalangi kes liwat kedua melibatkan Ketua Pembangkang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

“Saya Azlan Mohd Lazim sesungguhnya percaya anak saya Saiful Bukhari telah dipergunakan oleh pihak-pihak tertentu yang tidak bertanggungjawab.

“Mereka inilah merupakan dalang kepada semua fitnah liwat yang dilakukan terhadap Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, yang melibatkan anak saya,” kata beliau pada sidang media di sini pagi tadi.

Beliau juga berkata, perkara itu adalah konspirasi jahat untuk mengheret Anwar, yang dibebaskan daripada tuduhan meliwat 9 Januari 2012, ke penjara buat kali kedua.

“Saya percaya anak saya telah dipergunakan oleh pihak tertentu untuk kepentingan politik mereka, percakapan yang dibuat pada media juga telah diatur dan dirancang (pegawai khas pemimpin kanan negara).

“Saya hanya baca skrip tersebut disebabkan perasaan sayang saya kepada anak (Saiful), namun setelah lama saya berasa bersalah dan tak tenang.

“Ini adalah konspirasi politik jahat yang diatur untuk menjatuhkan dan mengheret kembali Anwar ke penjara,” katanya.

The reception given to the Manifesto Rakyat launched last week is encouraging. I am open to further proposals from various groups to refine further the manifesto, as long as they do not alter the principle policies of Pakatan Rakyat to reject racial politics and prioritise good governance and justice for the people.

I’m taking this initiative to hear out various ways, and at the same time explain elements of the manifesto as it is. For instance, the meeting with the representatives from the bodies advancing the issues of the disabled helped us explain better the programmes already in the manifesto to uplift and maintain their general welfare.

I have been in many discussions with leaders of the Indian community since last week to consider their point of view. I’d take this opportunity to reemphasise several things that will involve the Indian community, as follows:

1. 1. The longstanding issue of stateless people residing in Malaysia, without excluding Indians, will be resolved n the first 100 days of Pakatan Rakyat’s administration;
2. Technical training coupled with job opportunities will be made available to school leavers, with the focus to help those from poor families. The Indian community will be major beneficiaries from these programmes to eradicate poverty and uplift socio-economic standing;

3. 3. Pakatan Rakyat will ensure all Tamil schools will be fully funded and that their infrastructure is comparable to the national education standards. This declaration is clearly spelt out in Manifesto Rakyat;
4. Polis diRaja Malaysia (PDRM) will b reformed as stipulated in Manifesto Rakyat that also details the formation of an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC).

5. A National Housing Board which will be formed by a Pakatan Rakyat government will build affordable homes for the people, including in that focus to help build freehold homes for ex-estate workers around the country.

All these stated above are already in Manifesto Rakyat, which is build on all the policies and announcements made by Pakatan Rakyat previously. Still, to strengthen our commitment to explicitly state our commitment, these matters will be detailed further in the Manifesto Rakyat for distribution, as urged by groups who have expressed their position to us.

I defend our needs based approach in all our programmes so that they are well-executed. In order for the effectiveness and success of each social engineering programme in Manifesto Rakyat, we require the support of all communities.
For example, the implementation of the Rakyat Apprenticeship Scheme will involve thousands of employers nationwide offering job placements to young school leavers through the job placement scheme, giving them technical training at their premises. Employers will cooperate with the government to train our young to meet the national technical skills standards.

This smart partnership will enable employers to tap the local human resource at a cheaper rate because the government will contribute to the majority of the trainee’s cost during their apprenticeship. In this way the government has a platform to train hundreds of thousands of young people in a programme to improve their low-income families socio-economic standings, while utilising young people in our economy.

Such a programme requires the cooperation of multi-sectoral employers and all communities to join it with an open mind and willing heart, in the spirit of national service. If the programmes appear to be tailor made for one race, it will quickly discourage the participation of other races for it only caters to the needs on one race only.

The failure of many Barisan Nasional programmes is due to poor reception and broad cooperation brought by each programme being race-
based.

That is why I defend a needs-based approach for only all-inclusive programmes can be implemented successfully.

Barisan Nasional attacks on our manifesto is based on outdated propaganda accompanied by deceiving figures to confuse the people. For instance, Barisan Nasional questions the wisdom in taking over the highways from the concessionaires and cancelling toll payments, while the funds they have apportioned annually for BR1M1 and BR1M2 have already outstripped the RM6 billion initially outlay.

I remind Barisan Nasional that Pakatan Rakyat presented a transparent financial calculation that RM45.7 billion would be required to fund our programmes. Therefore, Barisan Nasional should lay down the financial analysis they are adopting to support their accusations against us, so that the people can compare and decide.

I am told that Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak will be rebutting Manifesto Rakyat soon. I’m confident the people would prefer him giving his rebuttals in a live policy debate rather than offering them in isolation as he often does.

Manifesto Rakyat yang diluncurkan minggu lepas zahir kepada iltizam Pakatan Rakyat demi melaksanakan agenda perubahan di negara ini. Peluncuran manifesto tersebut adalah tuntas dengan ikhtiar Pakatan Rakyat selama ini yang senantiasa mengemukakan saranan serta kebijakan segar dan cergas.

Alhamdulilah maklum balas yang kita terima sangat memberansangkan. Saya menerima secara terbuka cadangan yang dikemukakan oleh pelbagai pihak untuk memperkemaskan lagi manifesto itu, selagi ia tidak mengubah prinsip dasar Pakatan Rakyat yang menolak politik perkauman dan mengangkat tata kelola, amanah dan keadilan untuk rakyat.

Saya mengambil inisiatif untuk mendengar sendiri pelbagai pandangan yang diutarakan, disamping menjelaskan beberapa perkara. Misalnya, pertemuan dengan wakil-wakil badan yang mewakili orang berbeza upaya menguatkan persefahaman bersama mengenai program-program khusus untuk mengangkat martabat dan menjaga kebajikan mereka.

Saya juga banyak berbincang dengan pimpinan masyarakat India sejak seminggu lalu untuk mengambil kira pandangan mereka. Saya telah mengulangi pendirian mengenai perkara-perkara besar yang melibatkan masyarakat India seperti berikut:

1. Masalah kerakyatan yang kebanyakannya melibatkan rakyat Malaysia dari kaum India di samping kaum-kaum lain di seluruh Malaysia akan diselesaikan dalam tempoh 100 pertama pentadbiran Pakatan Rakyat di Putrajaya;

2. Program khusus untuk menyediakan latihan teknikal yang digabungkan dengan peluang pekerjaan untuk anak-anak muda lepasan sekolah dengan sasaran utama kepada anak-anak miskin. Masyarakat India akan mendapat manfaat utama dari program ini untuk membasmi kemiskinan dan menaiktaraf kedudukan sosio-ekonomi;

3. Pakatan Rakyat akan memastikan semua Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil menjadi sekolah bantuan penuh agar kemudahan infrastrukturnya setanding dengan piawai pendidikan nasional. Pengiktirafan ini dimuatkan secara jelas di dalam Manifesto Rakyat;

4. Reformasi institusi Polis diRaja Malaysia (PDRM) yang disebut di dalam Manifesto Rakyat turut melibatkan penubuhan Suruhanjaya Bebas Pengurusan dan Perlakuan Polis (IPCMC); dan

5. Peranan Perbadanan Perumahan Negara yang bakal ditubuhkan oleh Pakatan Rakyat untuk membina rumah-rumah rakyat akan mengambil kira keperluan mendesak rumah-rumah mampu milik bagi bekas-bekas pekerja estet di seluruh negara.

Kesemua perkara ini sudah pun terkandung di dalam Manifesto Rakyat yang dibina di atas semua dasar-dasar dan pengumuman yang pernah dibuat oleh Pakatan Rakyat. Pun begitu, untuk menguatkan lagi komitmen Pakatan Rakyat, perkara-perkara ini akan disebut secara jelas di dalam Manifesto Rakyat edaran umum, seperti mana juga beberapa perkara melibatkan kumpulan lain yang mengutarakan pandangan kepada Pakatan Rakyat.

Saya mempertahankan pendekatan berdasarkan keperluan (needs based approach) kerana setiap program perlulah dilaksanakan kelak secara berkesan. Demi menjamin keberkesanan dan kejayaan program-program rekayasa nasional yang digariskan di dalam Manifesto Rakyat, kita memerlukan sokongan setiap kumpulan masyarakat.

Contohnya, pelaksanaan Skim Perantis Rakyat akan melibatkan puluhan ribu majikan di seluruh Malaysia yang dijemput kerajaan menyertai skim penempatan anak muda lepasan sekolah bagi tujuan latihan teknikal di premis milik mereka. Majikan ini akan bekerjasama dengan kerajaan melatih anak-anak muda mengikut piawaian kemahiran teknikal kebangsaan.

Perkongsian pintar ini membolehkan majikan mendapat khidmat tenaga kerja tempatan pada kadar yang lebih murah kerana kerajaan menyumbang sebahagian besar dari kos penggajian sepanjang tempoh latihan. Kerajaan pula mempunyai platform untuk melatih puluhan ribu anak muda sebagai program teras memperbaiki kedudukan sosio-ekonomi keluarga berpendapatan rendah, disamping meningkatkan guna tenaga anak muda di dalam ekonomi.

Program sebegini memerlukan majikan dari pelbagai sektor dan pelbagai kaum menyertai skim secara terbuka dan berlapang hati menyumbang atas semangat khidmat nasional. Jika program-program seperti ini dirangka mengikut perspektif perkauman, ia akan serta-merta mengenepikan penyertaan kumpulan-kumpulan tertentu kerana ia dilihat khusus untuk kaum tertentu sahaja.

Kegagalan banyak program yang dijalankan oleh Barisan Nasional ialah kerana ia tidak mendapat sambutan dan kerjasama yang meluas apabila setiap program dikhususkan mengikut kaum.

Sebab itu, saya pertahankan pendekatan berdasarkan keperluan kerana hanya program-program seperti itu yang akan dapat dilaksanakan dengan jayanya.

Serangan dari Barisan Nasional masih berkisar kepada propaganda lapok yang menghamburkan angka-angka tidak tepat untuk mengelirukan rakyat. Misalnya, Barisan Nasional mempersoalkan kewajaran mengambil alih lebuhraya untuk membatalkan tol, sedangkan peruntukan yang mereka telah gunakan setakat ini untuk BR1M1 dan BR1M2 telah melepasi jumlah RM6 bilion setahun yang diperlukan.

Saya mengingatkan Barisan Nasional bahawa Pakatan Rakyat telah membentangkan secara telus analisa kira-kira kewangan yang diperlukan sebanyak RM45.75 bilion untuk membiayai kesemua program Manifesto Rakyat. Makanya, wajarlah Barisan Nasional juga memperincikan analisa kira-kira yang mereka gunapakai untuk menyokong tuduhan mereka, supaya rakyat dapat membandingkan kedua-duanya.

Saya sedia maklum bahawa Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak sendiri akan memberikan bidasan-bidasan beliau terhadap Manifesto Rakyat. Saya percaya rakyat lebih gemar jika bidasan-bidasan ini diberikan secara langsung di dalam satu perdebatan dasar, bukannya bidasan bersembunyi seperti yang selalu dibuat oleh beliau sebelum ini.
