MAJLIS PIMPINAN PAKATAN RAKYAT
8 September 2008
Pakatan Rakyat Menjunjung Prinsip Perlembagaan Persekutuan
Majlis Pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat yang bersidang pada hari ini 8 September 2008 dengan ini menegaskan penolakan kami terhadap usaha-usaha menyemarakkan politik perkauman yang sedang dilakukan oleh UMNO akhir-akhir ini. Kami amat bimbang isu ini sekarang digunakan untuk mengelabui pandangan rakyat yang sebenarnya merupakan usaha terdesak untuk menyelamatkan kepentingan segelintir golongan elit politik dan kroni mereka.
Kami sekali lagi mengulangi pendirian menjunjung prinsip-prinsip dasar yang termaktub di bawah Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Ini termasuk soal-soal dasar seperti kedudukan Islam sebagai Agama Persekutuan dan menjamin kebebasan mengamalkan agama-agama lain, kedaulatan Bahasa Melayu sebagai Bahasa Kebangsaan dan mempertahankan hak bahasa ibunda, kedudukan dan kedaulatan Institusi Raja-Raja Melayu serta kedudukan hak-hak istimewa orang Melayu dan Bumiputera serta hak-hak semua kaum yang telah dijamin oleh Perlembagaan.
Berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip Perlembagaan ini kami menolak sekeras-kerasnya pendekatan politik perkauman sempit yang menjadi dasar UMNO-BN. Pendekatan inilah yang sengaja digunakan untuk memecahbelahkan perpaduan dan keharmonian masyarakat majmuk negara ini.
Sehubungan ini kami membantah ucapan yang dibuat oleh Dato Ahmad Ismail yang disokong oleh semua pemimpin UMNO Pulau Pinang. Isi ucapan itu mencerminkan dasar perkauman UMNO yang sebenarnya bertujuan hanya untuk mempertahankan kepentingan segelintir golongan orang kaya Melayu serta suku sakat mereka yang menggunakan kuasa politik untuk mengambil kesempatan mengaut kekayaan negara dengan berselindung di sebalik membela kepentingan Bumiputera dan orang Melayu.

Dear YB LKS,
With the “Critical, Dangerous & Ugly” Political situation developing in this great nation, precipated by the “Evil & Desperate” Powers-that-be, provoking & inciting “Racial & Religious” divide amongst the downtrodden “Anak Bangsa Malaysia, we have to be virgilant, stay calm, have Faith in God Almighty for His Blessings, Protection & Guidance so that we will not fall into the BN “Trap”.
Also I take note of the comment by newmalay which we should not discount when the “Evil & Desperate” powers-that-be have “check-mate” themselves in their final “Death Throes”.

dear peace loving malaysians,
Just ignore that Ahmad, the racist and the BN racial gomen. Dont even respond to his provocations.
the fight for justice is far from over.
916 is just the beginning. But 916 must happen to end BN.
Pray for keadilan. Stay calm. Act firmly.
Topic political assassinations / violence:
What do these leaders have something in common?……Unquote.
DSAI & YM RPK must be advised accordingly & must be virgilant to the possibilities.
May God Almighty continue to “Bless, Protect & Guide” them safely towards the “MERDEKA 916? destination. Insha’Allah.

Dear YB LKS,
The 916 issue is being hotly debated by various groups – the issue & the morality of it vs the neutral arguement & the “majority” who have had “enough” of the BN.
First, let us agree on the “Basic” issue to “reduce” the BN majority within the “Constitutional framework”.
If we miss 916, then it will be a while before we get another “Window” of opportunity to pursue our struggle for that “New Dawn”.
As such DSAI & PR must find solutions to achieve that “Basic” issue to “reduce” the BN majority within the “Constitutional framework”.
Another choice can also be considered as mentioned by

“There is a third option.
Disgruntled BN component parties can opt out of the coalition without joining PR and set up a Third Front. By doing so, BN’s mandate to govern becomes null and void whilst the sanctity of voters’ choice is maintained. At worst, UMNO becomes a minority government and it will provide the option for the Agong to invoke his powers to re-appoint a new PM or call for another GE if no suitable candidate is available.
Granted, there will then be three factions in parliament which may appear ‘chaotic’ but it opens up the ground for more definitive debate on existing (ISA/OSA, etc) and new (DNA) laws.
It might even create the opportunity for a unity government and/or a grand coalition whereupon national issues can addressed without fear or favor.
Ultimately, whatever is to happen in parliament and in turn, the proper governance of this nation, it must reflect people power through their choice of people-in-power who represent the electorate.
Post GE12, almost every political party are evolving or reforming in one way or the other, except UMNO. We, the people, must therefore allow this to continue. But unlike before, we will remain vigilant and vocal because the rules of the game have changed.
And not because AI says it is.” Unquote.

“SEPT 8 — The right thing for the police to do tonight is to lock up Datuk Ahmad Ismail and charge him with sedition when the courts open tomorrow morning.”

Aku pun sokong AI ini ditahan ISA! Kita tengok Polis Malaysia ni berani ke tidak nak tahan pemimpin UMNO yang nazak ni bawah ISA!!
#6 by tenaciousB on Tuesday, 9 September 2008 - 5:37 am
Who is this ahmad ismail, is he more influencial and powerful than the PM until Badawi has to arrange to meet him and ?discipline him.
How can he be allowed to hold a press conference and instill racial slurs against the chinese? Who is he to threaten the non malays in this country? This is a perfect example of the illiterate people who have been nominated as leaders in UMNO. They are so emotional, unprofessional, disarrayed, filled with hatred towards nonmalays!
What i can’t undertand is why is badawi sitting on this man’s fate? Why not remand him under ISA and charge him for inciting racial sentiments!
I think this is the best time for gerakan to leave BN!

Niat dan matlamat UMNO sudah tercapai. Orang Cina mula marah, Orang Melayu makin terasa. Apa lagi yang diharapkan dari tindakan UMNO ini selain untuk memporak-perandakan negara kita. Harap semua dapat berfikir secara rasional. Jangan mengungkit siapa yang datang dahulu la, siapa yang bayar cukai lebih la apa yang penting kita bersatu menantikan 16 september yang akan kunjung tiba. Jika ianya berlaku janganlah ada antara kita yang menuntut yang bukan-bukan berkaitan hak kaum lain. Jaga sensitiviti sesama, cuba fahami antara satu sama lain. Jika tidak janganlah harap perpaduan akan muncul. satu bangsa minta hapuskan azan, satu bangsa minta hapuskan kawasan kubur satu bangsa minta semua bangsa lain kembali ke tanah asal mereka. Belajarlah dari sejarah, bermula 1511 Melaka dijajah walapun tamadunnya kuat sehingga Kerajaan China sanggup kekerjasama namun disebabkan pengkhianatan yang berlaku sesama rakyat akhirnya Melaka jatuh jua walapun cuba bangkit semula. Disebabkan kemajuan Melaka maka ramailah orang yang datang menumpang kasih di Melaka dahulu. Untuk pengetahuan sahabat semua zaman zahulu rumpun Melayu adalah dikawasan Malaysia ( Semenanjung tanah Melayu ), Indonesia, Selatan Filipina sehingga sekarang, ia dipisahkan akibat perjanjian Inggeris Belanda yang membahagikan tanah jajahan mereka sesuka hati. Sebab itulah apabila perpindahan berlaku hanya dari Malaysia ke Indonesia atau sebaliknya. hujah yang mengatakan bahawa inilah sahaja kawasan rumpun Melayu memang ada kebenarannya. Janganlah kita nafikan sejarah. Namun demikian dalam keadaan sekarang, janganlah kita ungkit hak bangsa lain dalam negara kita. Atas tujuan itulah, Islam tidak pernah memberi restu faham kebangsaan untuk dilaksanakan. Keadilan dalam Islam untuk semua kaum dirosakkan oleh propaganda UMNO. Agama lain bebas diamalkan tanpa mengurang sedikitpun amalan mereka. Ambil contoh di Kelantan, kerajaan negeri menjaga kebajikan untuk semua, Patung Buddha tidur terbesar, wat siam yang banyak, kuil dan tokong yang boleh dibina walaupun Bukan Islam minoriti di Kelantan sekitar 5-10 Peratus sahaja , tetapi tiada ugutan untuk melaksanakan agama mereka.

Words are like birds, once released they cannot be recaptured. Ahmad is trying to save his skin while at the same time blaming others for his mistake. What a dangerous man. PM must do something and fast!

Gerakan members, please don’t leave BN. Instead, all Gerakan members please do Malaysia a big favour by committing harakiri. The country is better off without scum like you. Good riddance and a pox on all your descendants.

“Sunday Star reported that Rajeshvari spent 11 months at the Lenggeng immigration depot for illegals because she could not remember her identity card number when police raided a coffee shop in Kuala Lumpur last October.
Rajeshvari, who was also not fluent in Bahasa Malaysia, was detained on suspicion of being a Sri Lankan illegal.”
Another sad case of ex-vernacular school student.
If she was from a Kebangsaan school, she will be able to save herself from been detained for 11months.
Vernacular school is not good for our children.
Most of the useless and illiterate students were those from v schools.
Our Government should stop building such schools and build more Kebangsaan or Vision schools.
Our Government should limit the number of v schools as such school does more harms than benefits to our societies.

Its fantastic to see that PR sees what Ahmad Ismail + gang is really up to. They hope to create enough chaos to take advantage it. Its a version of May 13, 1969 but within UMNO first. They figured that once they take over UMNO, KTK and the likes can be silenced.
It actually is a challenge now for PR to convince BN MPs especially in Sabah and Sarawak, this is bad for all of them and PR is their only hope. There is nothing in it for Sabah and Sarawak if these groups take over. In fact, they would get less. These guys are going to encourage more illegal immigrant to make sure UMNO Sabah and Sarawak control them not their indigenous party.
#14 by chinymin on Tuesday, 9 September 2008 - 8:52 am
Racial harmony must be maintained at all time to create a progressive Malaysia to move forward. Anyone found to be disrupting the harmony and goodwill of our country should be promptly reprimanded and disciplined by the appropriate authorities. The present ruling Government is seen too weak and laggard in this aspect. AAB should tarry no more and take severe disciplinary action TODAY on AI for creating the chaos facing Malaysia now before it is too late.

Star Online today, Sept 9, 2008:
“Gerakan should leave the Barisan Nasional ruling coalition … Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail said.”
“Ketuanan” drama being played out, this is, isnt it? You see, once a tuan, always a tuan. And small tuan is also good as a tuan. Small tuan, big tuan they all have authority to dispel any hamba they dislike.
So here we have a small UMNO fry telling gerakan hamba to get out. See how arrogant he is with his ketuanan authority and how arrogant UMNO is.
Perhaps what is worse is PM didnt want to say this himself. He decided to inflict maximum embarassment upon gerakan hamba by leaving that job to that small fry. The idea is to reduce gerakan hamba to a suitably minute size.
I wonder why the now very small koh tsu khoon still needed time to deliberate whether or not to leave bn. They should hv left 22 years ago. So too should mca and mic and all the other non-malay parties.
UMNOPUTRAS are nep-dependant. And after a while, mca, mic and the rest became UMNO-dependant. That idiot knew this dependancy thingy. He knew very well that eventhough only a small fry, he as small tuan could still tell mca, mic and gerakan to buzz off with impunity.
So yeh, leaving may not make good sense now. Its way too late. If salvaging oneself and one’s dignity is the desire, then I agree absolutely with k1980, lets harakiri. And may God bless their souls.
#16 by daryl on Tuesday, 9 September 2008 - 9:14 am
The only race that Ahmad insulted is Malay. Malay need a better leader than that to bring them to the next level of the world stage. If Malay follow Ahmad they might just as well turn back the clock to 1960 because that is he will lead them to.
If I am business dealing with this guy I will stop all my work and pull out of any deal I have with him.
#17 by AnakSarawak on Tuesday, 9 September 2008 - 9:21 am
To Malaysian of ALL races, beware of this Ahmad Ismail! He is trying to make the matter worst by adding in Islam! Talk to the Malay friends around you, tell them not to fall into his trap!
Shame on him! Religion issue has NOTHING got to do with him. He is sinful to create such a mess in this holy month of RAMADAN!
#18 by baochingtian on Tuesday, 9 September 2008 - 9:27 am
Not sure if Ahmad is a leader, can’t see globally. The world is not having Malays only. Ahmad is likened to a person sets up fire in the forest and blames others for the haze! Irresponsible !
#19 by blablowbla on Tuesday, 9 September 2008 - 10:16 am
to nazri of prime ministerial department,use your loudest voice to shoot admad ismail down:”bodoh!bodoh!bodoh!”
and the kojak home minister,wat are you waiting for?waiting for 513 to burst?put him behind bar,he is 100 times more dangerous than hindrafs!
and to the PM,i think he can continue snoozing…….!hopeless idiot!
#20 by blablowbla on Tuesday, 9 September 2008 - 10:30 am
bodoh punya ahmad ismail,yg pandai memutar-belitkan cerita adalah berita harian dan utusan!!!!!tv3 juga tidak kurang hebat!!!!!!
dulu,bagaimana mereka siarkan berita2 mengenai isu2 babi,isu bar council dan sebagainya!
kedudukan melayu walaupun lepas tsunami308,sedikit pun tak tergugat,bahkan,meningkat!lihat MP di parlimen,lihat MB di seluruh negeri,menteri2 penting,pengarah kementerian kerajaan,IGB,CJ,Chanselor,KSU,semua masih dipegang oleh melayu!!!!!!
you kata bohong,penipu jahat!!!you ada motif!!!!
#21 by ktteokt on Tuesday, 9 September 2008 - 10:37 am
AAB, where is your ISA? Is Ahmad immune to ISA??????
#22 by ktteokt on Tuesday, 9 September 2008 - 10:38 am
Or is it that Encik ISA has gone to Taiwan on the study tour with the other BN MPs?
#23 by laufuzhe28 on Tuesday, 9 September 2008 - 10:50 am
I support kt-56′s comments, quote “Time to give this issue a break. To carry on harping on the issue will only play into the hands of those who wish to destroy all progress made thus far towards non-communal politics.
It is good for PKR to come up with a statement signed by all the leaders. Now it is time to cool things down.
No big deal if we are called immigrants by one who is irrational with emotion. Let us peace loving Malaysians act with dignity and ignore him and others who may subsequently come out to stoke the fire.
Be resolute and steer us towards what truly matters right now … ;)” unquote
Let’s ignore Ahmad Ismail. Let those quarrels be between the BN components and internal!
I suggest that members of PR should just leave it as is since the joint statement issued is very clear.
Moreover, the issue is now a police case and let’s sit back and observe what’s the advice that the AG will provide to the police. Let’s see if they act without fear &/or favour. This would be the best test for the judiciary and executives.
#24 by Mr Tan. on Tuesday, 9 September 2008 - 11:06 am
Just because Malays Immigrated to Malaysia earlier then the Chinese and Indians, that doen’t gave them the rights to have special previlage and rights in Malaysia.
These Malay Special rights are created by the UMNO selfish leaders like : Mahathir.
They have cheated the Chinese and Indians to give them these rights so that they can catch-up the Malay poor economy status and now they want it permanent.
All citizens whether Malay, Chinese and Indians pay the same amount of tax when they buy Macdonald or pay income tax.
All humans live in only one world. the whole world knows this centuries ago and only the UMNO selfish fools are still making a fool out of their own kind by bullying the minority.
#25 by k1980 on Tuesday, 9 September 2008 - 11:15 am
Just as muslim ladies could be legally divorced by sms from their husbands, the 50 MPs can cross over to PR by sms-ing the Speaker Pandikar Amin on 916.

When the opposition did very well in the 2008 elections, foreign observers talk about a wind of change in Malaysia; about how racialism had been rejected, how Anwar, their favourite would soon take over the Government.
I had differed from these casual observers because I know that it was not rejection of racial politics which helped the opposition. It was simply disgust on the part of members of UMNO, MCA and Gerakan of the Premiership and leadership of Dato Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Talking on the ground, this was quite obvious.
Far from the opposition’s “win” being brought about by rejection of racial politics, it has actually enhanced racial politics. We talk more about race and racial interest than we did in the last 50 years.
The Malays are feeling the loss of their political base and the Chinese and Indians appear to be glorifying in the new political clout. As a result, subjects which we before regarded as sacrosanct are now brought up and made to be entirely in favour of the Malays.
Against this unfamiliar attack against them, the Malays are unable to counter. Their leaders have deserted them. In their frustration they tend to become abusive.

jika benar perlembagaan dijunjung dan dihormati maka mulai sekarang sepatutnya DAP yang memperjuangkan Malaysian Malaysia bertegas agar penggunaan bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa Kebangsaan, sekolah kebangsaan dan sekolah menengah kebangsaan ialah satu-satunya aliran sekolah yang menjadi usaha perpaduan dan lain-lain lagi yang diperuntukkan oleh perlembagaan persekutuan. mulakan laman sesawang, blog dan media yang menjadi ‘kesukaan’ ramai dengan menggunakan bahasa Melayu. kita lihat lim kit siang sebagai contoh!

“We talk more about race and racial interest than we did in the last 50 years” – chedet
Ha ha! This is true only for those living surrounded by sycophants. Racial tension had always been there and growing as the years passed. Only difference was back then it was only spoken of in the coffee shops and homes.
Now the only difference is the local mainstream media is openly reporting racist remarks and playing up racial issues. one wonders why eh?
#29 by aries66 on Wednesday, 10 September 2008 - 12:00 am
Ahmad is very stubborn !!. Even our PM & Deputy is apologising on
his behalf, he still not understanding. Really stupid and arrogant attitude. Let’s see if any stern action taken on his fellow tommorow….. ???.
#30 by sirrganass on Thursday, 11 September 2008 - 1:38 am
Let’s understand that if there happen to be any kind of racial clash in our country, take note that it is because of Ahmad Ismail and the Malays in UMNO (Penang).
You understand that the Malays in PAS and PKR and DAP are NOT giving you this problem. Yes, the Malays are DIVIDED now. One belongs to UMNO and the rest belongs to Pakatan Rakyat. Get it? visit Era Kegemilangan PR
