Memang SPR tak telus, pembangkang menang sebab SPR tak boleh nak tipu di sana . . .

Pakatan Rakyat tidak ada peluang langsung untuk memenangi kerusi pilihan raya sekiranya Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) tidak adil dan telus dalam mengendalikan pilihan raya di Malaysia.

Pengerusi SPR, Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof, berkata semua pilihan raya umum dan kecil akan dimenangi oleh BN sahaja jika SPR bertindak sedemikian.

"Kalau SPR tidak adil dan telus, bagaimana pembangkang boleh memenangi lima negeri pada pilihan raya umum lepas... tak kan nak menang semua negeri, baru SPR dianggap adil dan telus," katanya dalam temuramah dengan TV3 dan Bernama di Bangkok.

Nazri marah Transparency International sebab kata 'mee segera' rasuah ... hahaha

KUALA LUMPUR, March 31 — Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz has said Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M) should “shut up” and “mind its own business” after the anti-graft watchdog said yesterday that any type of election handouts to voters is a form of corruption. TI-M also criticised the Election Commission (EC) for failing to ensure free and fair elections in the country.

Nazri pointed out that a 1981 court case had ruled that it was not an offence but in line with the responsibility of the government to ensure development and allocate funds regardless of whether there was an election.

“This country has got a court system and our court has decided long time ago that it is not corruption. I just don’t give a damn about what they say on this.

I only refer to the highest court decision which said that it is endowed fund and not bribery,” he told The Malaysian Insider. Nazri was referring to the legal precedent established in the case involving the Pengkalan Kota by-election between Teoh Teik Huat and Lim Kean Siew.

The case revolved around a statement by then-finance minister Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, who had said he would personally give more money for the improvement of Pengkalan Kota if Barisan Nasional (BN) won.

The minister in the Prime Minister’s Department had also told Parliament that handouts and goodies in the form of financial assistance to voters during elections was not a form corruption because it was the federal government’s way of “fulfilling its promises” and manifestos. Nazri yesterday expressed surprise over allegations the EC had failed to show that they were “independent” in carrying out its duties even though they were guaranteed autonomy under the federal constitution.

“How do you get [an] independent EC? Where do the commissioners come from? From the heavens? Our system is that all of our commissioners are appointed by the (Yang di-Pertuan) Agong on the advice of the prime minister.

“Unless Transparency International can have a system whereby the people can come down from heaven to become commissioner then I will accept. Otherwise just keep your mouth shut and mind you own business,” he added.

According to him, Pakatan Rakyat (PR) would not likely have captured a total of five states and denied BN its stranglehold on Parliament in Election 2008 if the accusations hurled against the EC were true.

“How did the opposition win four [more] states? How did they win 82 seats during 2008? You mean to say that all those 82 seats they won fairly but the seats that BN won were unfair. Is that what they mean? Tell them to mind their own business,” he said.

PR lawmakers have consistently accused the EC of failing to be neutral during by-elections, resulting in numerous complaints to the commission. The EC has, however, maintained that it is impartial and independent, denying allegations of bias towards BN - TMI

STONE : Nazri yg ini hang nak ikut sgt keputusan mahkamah yang lalu. Bagaimana dgn keputusan mahkamah yang lalu yang membenarkan ceramah diadakan dalam kawasan persendirian?

Pakatan Akan Adakan Pilihanraya Negeri Berasingan

Oleh MOHD AL QAYUM AZIZI

PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Parti Pembangkang tidak menolak kemungkinan mengadakan pilihan raya secara berasingan di peringkat negeri pada pilihan raya akan datang.

Ketua pembangkang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim berkata, perkara itu mungkin boleh berlaku kerana kuasa pembubaran Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) adalah hak kerajaan negeri.

Anwar berkata, perkara itu akan diputuskan bersama kerajaan negeri dan pihak mereka masih menilai pilihan yang ada sebelum pilihan raya.

"Secara berasingan atau tidak terserah kepada kerajaan negeri dan kita akan putuskan bersama kerana kita ada pilihan, bagaimanpun itu adalah kuasa pihak kerajaan negeri," katanya pada sidang akhbar khas selepas Mesyuarat Majlis Pakatan Rakyat di sini, Sabtu.

Sidang media itu turut dihadiri oleh Presiden Pas, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang dan Penasihat DAP Lim Kit Siang.

Dalam pada itu Anwar berkata, pihak pembangkang sedang giat membuat persiapan bagi menghadapi pilihan raya yang dijangka akan diadakan pada tahun depan dan telah pun berjumpa dengan semua pengarah pilihan raya parti untuk perincian strategi.

Mengenai pembahagian kerusi, ia akan dibincangkan lebih lanjut selepas Konvensyen Pakatan Rakyat di Pulau Pinang pada 18 Disember depan, katanya.

Sementara itu, ketika ditanya mengenai konvensyen yang bakal berlangsung di Dewan Millenium Kepala Batas itu, Anwar berkata konvensyen itu akan menfokuskan mengenai isu dasar parti selain menekankan aspek ekonomi, sosial yang menyangkut kepentingan rakyat.

Katanya, pemahaman mengenai aspek perlembagaan juga akan ditekankan kepada semua pimpinan supaya ia jelas.

"Konvensyen itu nanti akan lebih ditumpukan kepada memperkuatkan isu-isu dasar supaya ia jelas di semua peringkat dan strategi untuk pilihan raya juga akan turut dibincangkan," ujarnya.

Dalam pada itu, Anwar berkata draf ucapan dasar pada konvensyen itu nanti telah berada di peringkat akhir dan pihak pakatan telah sepakat dengan dasar yang terkandung yang berkaitan dengan rakyat.

"Kita akan maklumkan mengenai dasar itu sebelum berlangsung konvensyen itu. Mungkin pada minggu depan," katanya. - mStar
