Do we have an Opposition Leader who is afraid to raise the issue of corruption in Parliament?

(Versi BM)

Yesterday, I said the Parliamentary Opposition Leader, Hamzah Zainudin made two mistakes last Tuesday — firstly, in failing to provide check and balance during half-hour Prime Ministerial question time and secondly, in failing to pass the Yang di Pertuan Agong’s test in the Royal Address Motion to ensure political stability for the next five years to allow the country to unite a very polarised plural nation, and to reset and return to the original nation-building principles to become a first-rate world-class nation.

Hamzah Zainudin has failed the Agong test to ensure political stability for the next five years to allow the country to unite a very polarised plural nation, and to reset and return to the original nation-building principles to become a first-rate world-class nation

(Versi BM)

The Parliamentary Opposition Leader, Hamzah Zainudin, has failed the Agong test to ensure political stability for the next five years to allow the country to unite a very polarised plural nation, and to reset and return to the original nation-building principles to become a first-rate world-class nation.

The minimum that Hamzah could do was to give an undertaking that Anwar Ibrahim would be the last Prime Minister the 16th Yang di Pertuan Agong will swear in before the end of his five-year reign next January, as the 16th Yang di Pertuan Agong will go down in history of having to work with four Prime Ministers during his reign.

If the 16th Yang di Pertuan Agong’s wishes come true, then Anwar will continue to be Prime Minister until next year

(Versi BM)

If the 16th Yang di Pertuan Agong’s wishes come true, then Anwar Ibrahim will continue to be the 10th Prime Minister until next year.

But will he continue to be Prime Minister for the full term of five years for the 15th Parliament?

Four questions for the Parliamentary Opposition Leader

(Versi BM)

The seven-week Parliament beginning today is as much a make-or-break session for Anwar Unity Government as it is a test whether the 74-MP Opposition bloc can promote unity in a plural society and restore Malaysia as a first-rate world-class nation.

Support parliamentary reform to penalise MPs who make racist or religious allegations including punishing MPs who make allegation that someone is promoting Islamophobia but could not substantiate the allegation

(Versi BM)

I support the proposal by the Speaker of Parliament, Johari Abdul, that MPs uttering remarks that are racist, sexist or insulting are liable to an RM1,000 fine and may even be suspended.

The parliamentary reform should also specify that MPs who make racist or religious allegations, for instance, that someone is promoting Islamophobia, should be punished if they cannot substantiate the allegation.

Muhyiddin’s most patriotic duty is to abstain from the vote of confidence in Parliament as his opposition to the motion would mean he subordinates the country’s stability and future to his own personal and selfish zeal to become a “backdoor” Prime Minister again

(Versi BM)

Muhyiddin Yassin’s most patriotic duty is to abstain from the vote of confidence in Parliament as his opposition to the motion would mean that he subordinates the country’s stability and future to his own personal and selfish zeal to become a “backdoor” Prime Minister again.

I think I have the qualifications to tell Muhyiddin a thing or two how to be a responsible Opposition Leader having served as the longest Opposition Leader in the country — even in the darkest days of parliamentary democracy in the country.

Will Malaysia have another week of ignominy where the topmost question in the country is whether Parliament will be dissolved or not?

(Versi BM)

Will Malaysia have another week of ignominy where the topmost question in the country is whether Parliament will be dissolved or not?

It is no credit to either the ninth Prime Minister, Ismail Sabri or to Malaysia that the question whether Parliament will be dissolved or not has paralysed the government, with Ministers sleep-walking in Parliament for a week not knowing whether they are coming or going.

Call on Ismail Sabri to declare that Dewan Rakyat and Dewan Negara will meet from Oct. 3 to Dec. 7 as planned that there will be no attempt on his part to dissolve Parliament in between

(Versi BM)

Dewan Rakyat meets today under a cloud – whether Malaysia will become a joke in the world with the convening of the parliamentary session where the primary questions are not the economic crisis facing the country as a result of rising prices and a depreciating ringgit, and the forthcoming monsoon and floods season which claimed 54 lives and caused RM6.5 billion damage to property last year, but whether Parliament will be dissolved although there is no motion of vote of no confidence against the Prime Minister in the current session.

Parliamentarians regardless of party must safeguard the dignity and good name of the Malaysian Parliament and not allow 36 UMNO MPs to bring Parliament into disrepute because its “Court Cluster” leadership wants UMNO leaders to escape jail sentences for corruption charges.

PSC on Agencies under PM’s Department must prove its worth by summoning the MACC Chief, Azam Baki to testify why he is playing the “blind, deaf and mute” game on the RM9 billion LCS scandal

(Versi BM)

Two days ago on Friday, I proposed that the Parliament Select Committee on Agencies under the Prime Minister’s Department meet urgently and summon the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner, Azam Baki to explain why the MACC had failed to take action against anyone for the RM9 billion littoral combatants ships (LCS) scandal although he had the benefit of two reports on the LCS scandal – the Special Investigation Committee on Public Governance, Procurement and Finance the LCS (JKUSTUPKK) headed by then auditor-general Ambrin Buang and the report of the forensic audit of the LCS procurement (2011-2014) carried out by Alliance IFA (M) Sdn. Bhd. at the behest of Boustead Heavy Industries Corp Bhd (BHIC) – which contained a myriad of possible charges on corruption, abuse of power, breach of trust, malpractices and cheating.

So far, Azam had given the lame excuse that the MACC needs more time for its investigation into the troubled RM9 billion LCS project as a few of the witnesses the MACC wants to summon are overseas. Read the rest of this entry »
