KENYATAAN MEDIA-AHLI KELUAR PARTI BUKTI GAGAL PIKUL AMANAH RAKYAT

KENYATAAN MEDIA

AHLI KELUAR PARTI BUKTI GAGAL PIKUL AMANAH RAKYAT


Tindakan masuk parti UMNO serta komen melalui media bahawa Parti Keadilan Rakyat tidak menyokong dalam hal-hal berhubung kebajikan rakyat oleh bekas ahli Sdr. Hassan Haroon dalam akhbar SINAR HARIAN mukasurat S7 bertarikh 12 Julai 2010 (Isnin) disanggah sama sekali sebagai tidak benar dan boleh dipertikaikan. Kenyataan beliau itu dibidas, malah hujah dakwaan kononnya pimpinan Cabang Keadilan Batu tidak memberi sokongan dalam hal dan isu kebajikan tidak timbul.

Makluman tentang pengumuman beliau telah masuk parti Umno hanya diketahui setelah disiarkan dalam akhbar Sinar Harian. Dia hadir mesyuarat agung tahunan Umno tanpa memberitahu Cabang Batu. Dia seterusnya seakan cuba mengelak dari menjawab secara langsung. Ternyata dia tidak menyatakan apakah punca sebenar untuk bertindak umum keluar parti seterusnya masuk UMNO secara terbuka semasa berlangsungnya Mesyuarat Agung UMNO Bahagian Batu di PWTC yang dirasmikan oleh bekas Naib Presiden UMNO Mohd Ali Rustam pada Ahad 11 Julai 2010.

Sebagai ahli jawatankuasa kebajikan Cabang, pengumuman yang dibuat oleh dia dilihat tindakan yang membelakangkan parti maka status keanggotaannya akan dipecat setelah dimaklumkan kepada Setiausaha Agung Parti Keadilan Rakyat. Tindakan ini diambil setelah mengambilkira beliau isytihar keluar parti.

Dia sepatutnya berterusan komited mengalas tanggungjawab yang telah diamanahkan untuk jaga kebajikan masyarakat. Ternyata tindakan dia telah mengakibatkan masyarakat setempat melahirkan kekecewakan kerana mengkhianati kepercayaan masyarakat dan parti untuk kepentingan diri.

PRESS STATEMENT: EC CHAIRMAN MUST BE REMOVED FOR BLATANT SUPPORT FOR BARISAN NASIONAL AND REFERRING TO PAKATAN RAKYAT AS "THE ENEMY

PRESS STATEMENT

15 JULY 2010

EC CHAIRMAN MUST BE REMOVED FOR BLATANT SUPPORT FOR BARISAN NASIONAL AND REFERRING TO PAKATAN RAKYAT AS "THE ENEMY"


Pakatan Rakyat refers to the Elections Commission Chairman Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof’s recent interview titled “EC says elections not likely next year” in the Malaysian Insider on 13 July 2010.

Firstly, it is not the business of the EC Chairman to speculate about when polls will be called. That is the decision of the leaders of ruling governments of the day at both federal and state level.

Reading the interview as a whole, the EC chief has displayed a total lack of independence, competence and fairness that one would expect from him as the head of the Elections Commission. He has clearly shown not only his support but indeed partiality to the Najib Tun Razak’s government and UMNO and looked at his role as maintaining the status quo instead of conducting a free and fair election as required under the Federal Constitution and the law.

Pakatan Rakyat takes particular offence when he said:
“(The warnings by Umno leaders) are to ensure that we are always prepared to fight the enemy. We must always stay united and always implement programmes. We must have programmes, policies, and agendas,”

“If you ask me, this is only the first gear and we are now entering the second gear. There are five gears, so why the rush?” asked Abdul Aziz, adding that Najib’s administration was just beginning to “heat up”.

When talking about the Prime Minister’s “leadership” he is reported to have said “ It is becoming popular. When a song is becoming a hit, we should not cut it short. We should let people enjoy it”.
His constant reference to “we” meaning himself and the government/ UMNO clearly showed that he seems to think that he and the EC are part and parcel of the Barisan Nasional Government.

He also referred to Pakatan Rakyat as the “enemy” – an astonishing and shocking remark which again clearly pointed to the total absence of independence, competence and fairness that is expected from any staff in the EC, what more as the head of the EC.

In order to salvage whatever little public confidence left in the EC, Pakatan Rakyat calls for the EC chief’s immediate removal as obviously he is not a fit and proper person to hold such an important position after having displayed his blatant bias and support for the present government and UMNO.
