Maznah Cabar Shahrizat: Tindakan Tepat!

Mulanya saya melihat pemilihan Ketua Wanita UMNO Malaysia sebagai hambar apabila Azalina Osman Said yang tiba-tiba menarik diri dari menentang Shahrizat. Kesediaan Raihan Sulaiman Palestin tidak memberikan apa-apa makna kerana beliau bukanlah pencabar yang layak berhadapan dengan Shahrizat.

Bagaimanapun petang semalam menjelang tamat waktu pendaftaran calon, wakil Dato' Maznah Mazlan menghantar borang pencalonan telah merubah keadaan tersebut kepada satu keadaan yang akan lebih menarik. Maznah adalah bekas Senator dan Timbalan Menteri Sumber Manusia. Sebelumnya beliau adalah exco Kerajaan Negeri Pahang yang berjaya memajukan industri pelancongan Pahang.

Pada penggal lalu beliau disisihkan dari wanita kerana ketegasannya menyatakan sokongan kepada Rafidah Aziz sewaktu Shahrizat mencabar Rafidah. Kesediaan Maznah bertanding jangan dilihat sebagai balas dendam, tetapi adalah untuk menyelamatkan Wanita dan untuk melakar serta menentukan arahtujunya.

Shahrizat yang sarat dengan masalah tentu tidak lagi dapat memberikan kepercayaan wanita untuk memimpin wanita dengan cemerlang dan gemilang. Tuduhan penyelewangan Setiausaha Politiknya baru-baru ini sudah tentu sedikit sebanyak memberikan kesan terhadap dirinya sendiri.

Peluang Maznah adalah lebih cerah sekiranya pihak ke-3 menarik diri dan membiarkan pertandingan 2 penjuru yang lebih adil. Bagaimanapun perwakilan dari Pahang mungkin juga akan berbelah bahagi atas faktor Dato' Rosni Zahari yang umum ketahui sebagai 'tangan kiri Shahrizat'. Bagaimanapun faktor Rosni akan bertanding MKT wakili Pahang akan boleh dijadikan asas rundingan 'pertukaran undi'.

Dengan ditambah sedikit lagi usaha kita pasti jawatan Ketua Wanita UMNO akan dapat diubah. Walaupun kita sedar akan kekuatan Shahrizat, namun wanita inginkan pembaharuan dan perubahan. Yang selama ini hitam ingin diputihkan. Pemimpin bukan sahaja perlu bersih, tetapi juga perlu kelihatan bersih. Selamat bertanding kepada Dato' Maznah.

Jangan Kasi Malu!!

Mohon sangat -sangat agar Pemilihan UMNO pada tahun ini dibuat dengan penuh beretika mengikut Perlembagaan dan jangan ada dikalangan ahli membuat sesuatu diluar dugaan. Bukan apa selama ini kita mencari kesalahan DAP sehingga DAP terpaksa bermesyuarat semula. Jangan sampai UMNO bermesyuarat semula macam DAP..... mana mahu letak muka.

Pakatan accepts GE13 results, let’s talk unity “immediately” - Anwar

Anwar, in his Merdeka Day speech, also pushed for a quick meeting between both parties to solve various issues plaguing the country.
Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim signalled his readiness to hold unity talks between Pakatan Rakyat and Barisan Nasional when he said today that the opposition will accept the results of the 13th general election.

Anwar, in his Merdeka Day speech, also pushed for a quick meeting between both parties to solve various issues plaguing the country.

"The meeting between both sides must be held immediately to save Malaysia, especially in light of the country's 56th birthday tomorrow," he said.

The Prime Minister's office has so far brushed aside talk of a unity government, saying there will be no discussions on that subject until the opposition stops challenging the results of the general election which was held in May.

Anwar said although Pakatan Rakyat won the popular vote, it is ready to overlook the errors and mistakes of the Election Commission.

He added that the topics to be covered in any discussion must include racial and religious issues that had caused some tension recently.

Other pressing issues include the slowing down of the nation's economy and the rising crime rate, which was worrying the public both in the urban and rural areas.

"Discussions should also touch on the administrative aspect of the government to curb corruption and lack of transparency in the issuance of tenders," Anwar said.

The opposition leader wants Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to be open to discussions because there are many policies and programmes which need more attention.

"Pakatan Rakyat's willingness to invite Barisan Nasional to the negotiation table isn't just about forming a unified government but also an act commonly adopted by democratic governments," he said.

Speaking of the recent Fitch ratings downgrade for Malaysia, Anwar said the government could save about RM20 billion annually if it managed the country's economy better.

"In order to achieve this objective, it is imperative that Barisan Nasional reduce the country's fiscal deficit and tackle the issue of corruption on the issuance of tenders.

"The government should also stop inciting the public by using mainstream media organisations and non-governmental organisations as propaganda tools.

"As we celebrate the nation's 56th birthday, our communities should be educated to be more mature instead of being exposed to political agendas which can tear a country apart."
Pakatan willing to meet BN to discuss issues, not unity government, says Anwar. Anwar confirms Najib proposed unity government, reports Asia Sentinel. Why now, sceptical Umno leaders question Anwar on offer to talk Anwar’s pitch for dialogue a desperate move, says Khairy PMO denies Najib making efforts to form unity government.
