Sesebuah negera di ujudkan dengan berlandaskan pelembagaan -perlembagaan bertindak sebagai ” tiang seri ” nya dan apa saja perbuatan tindakan dan tindak buat adalah berdasarkan dan dirujukan kepadanya. Dan setiap kali perubahan dalam pelembangaan, parlimen adalah tempat segala-gala perubahan yang difikiran perlu nak diubah.

Kita sering riuh dengan perkara 153, 152 – kedualatan Ketuanan Orang Melayu. Kita juga sering mengatakan Bahasa Melayu adalah bahasa pertuturan utama negera, Kita juga meletakkan Institusi Istana mengatasi segala-galanya dan kita juga meletakan Islam agama rasmi negara. Ini semua sebagai tiang dalam pembangunan negara. (more…)

Kelayakan Datuk Khusrin Munawi sebagai setiausaha kerajaan (SUK) negeri Selangor yang baru, mula dipertikaikan, antaranya ekoran ‘kontroversi’ yang melingkarinya.

Pengarah Komunikasi PKR Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (kiri) berkata, sikap Pengarah Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (JAIS) itu “yang seolah-olah ingin sabotaj” kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat di Selangor selama ini hendaklah diambil kira. (more…)

Media Statement for Immediate Release
13 March 2010

We are shocked by the blatant and heavy-handed moves by the Burmese junta to ensure that democracy never sees the light of day in Burma.

The new rules barring people who have been convicted in court from
even being a member of a political party are clearly aimed at ensuring
that not only is the much-feared iconic figure Aung San Suu Kyi
totally put out of action, but also that opposition parties in general
will be crippled. About 2,000 dissidents are currently in prison, and
thousands more have been released but are apparently now barred
forever from participating in politics. This will neatly ensure the
perpetual survival of the one-party system.

Aung San Suu Kyi’s party, the NLD, now has the Hobson’s choice of
either sacking their leader or itself being disqualified from having
any role in the political process, including the election.

This reveals the stark and deeply disturbing fact that, despite all
the carrots and sticks applied, with particular intensity in the last
year or two, the Burmese regime has absolutely no intention of
softening its resistance to moving towards democracy.

ASEAN has most to lose, since it is collectively shunned and punished
as a result of Burma’s recalcitrance. It should, therefore, naturally
spearhead redoubled efforts to push Burma into line. One important
initiative should be to ensure that the generals themselves also feel
the bite of sanctions imposed on Burma, rather than continuing to do
covert, and very lucrative, business with them.

People’s Justice Party

Keynote address by Anwar Ibrahim
Opening ceremony of the 2008 Keadilan National Congress
November 29, 2008 in Stadium Melawati, Shah Alam

Ladies and gentlemen.
Your sacrifices have shaped the course of this nation.
Your tears for friends and loved ones imprisoned without trial; your pain in enduring your families being torn apart; and the anguish seeing your businesses and livelihood ransacked.
This is the price that we have all paid to build a better Malaysia.
But I stand before you, humbled by your courage, overwhelmed by your loyalty, and inspired by your extraordinary feats.
From a dark cell I felt your pain. I cried when your freedom was taken from you. And today I share your pride and joy; that we are gathered here to celebrate the historic event our fellow Malaysians brought forth on March 8 – a Brave New Dawn.
I welcome the new faces among us. When we formed this party we knew a day would come when we would open our doors to a flood of Malaysians joining us on this noble mission. Your presence marks the beginning of a new phase for our party and for our nation.
I marvel at the support we have earned from our nation’s youth and women. You have given us hope that Malaysia’s future will fall into the hands of a generation that cherishes democracy and will continue the fight for freedom and justice.
With this Congress we embark on a major exercise to refocus and reorganize the party to reach new levels of discipline and new heights of effectiveness. We will take steps to ensure that our call for justice is heard loud and clear from the northern reaches of Perlis to the southern tip of Johor and all the way to the shores of Sabah and Sarawak.
Yet it was not too long ago that many believed this party had no future. They poured scorn on our aspirations and laughed at our dreams. Some even said we would just disappear!
They said multi-racial politics were impossible and our vision for a unified nation had all but expired. There are some whose conviction wavered and who believed that the ship upon which we were sailing may not reach its destined shore. To those who harbor doubt I say: trust in the wisdom of the people and trust not the pundits and cynics bent on supporting a corrupt and decadent establishment.
The desire for change is unstoppable. The people can no longer tolerate the abuses of the current government that affront us each day. The prevailing order prevails no more.
Never in the country’s history have Malaysians in such great numbers exercised their right to vote out of office such an entrenched institution. Never before have the people set aside their racial and religious identities and called in a single voice for a Brave New Dawn.
Our successes in 2008 are immense and we should be immensely proud. After two successful elections we have a proven that the Pakatan Rakyat coalition is strong and unified, working together hand-in-hand for change.
We have also witnessed a government under siege and a ruling party in disarray. We have seen them strangle and suffocate the democratic process and we have seen them ignore the crisis of an economy in turmoil.
Yes there have been setbacks. We skirted with destiny on September 16th and despite our best efforts our march to victory has been delayed. I empathise with you and with the people of Malaysia. We are all forced to further endure the slings and arrows of an incompetent government that has lost touch with the people. Although our promise has not yet been fulfilled, the Pakatan Rakyat leaders and I remain committed to the agenda for change and our tenacity has never been stronger.
I call upon you to aspire — as only we united in our quest can — to A Brave New Dawn: Where every child has the right to quality education and every family feels safe at home and in their streets. Where we can believe what we read in the newspapers and what we watch on the television. Where the country’s leaders will be honest, where justice prevails and where judges cannot be bribed.
I ask of you first as Malaysians and second as members of Keadilan, let us prepare ourselves with a renewed resolve and the courage of conviction that with our efforts a thousand flowers of freedom will yet bloom in Malaysia.
To my fellow citizens in the Pakatan States, you have humbled me with your support and I thank you. I say to you – let us work together to bring forth a new order and a better quality of life; a new measure of confidence in the accountability of government. I ask you to bear with us; the challenges we face cannot be overcome in a single month and some may take more than a year to redress. Much has been accomplished already, and soon our State Governments will report regularly their accomplishments and their plans for the continued development of our states.
To those living outside the Pakatan States the task before you is formidable. You believe in Keadilan and you believe that with Pakatan Rakyat the future of the country can be great. Yet you live in the stronghold of Barisan Nasional. We need your unwavering commitment and we need you to work harder than ever before so that Pakatan Rakyat’s banner can be raised throughout Malaysia.
We in Pakatan Rakyat will continue to protect the rights of every Malaysian including the Malays and Bumiputeras, and strive to bring forth greater quality of life for all. We will reach out to our friends in Sabah and Sarawak – Ibans, Kadazahns, Dayaks. Your cry for help has been ignored. We in Pakatan Rakyat say we hear you and we will support you.
Members of Keadilan: Your work has brought our people together. Look around you. Our ancestors might not come from the same place. But we are citizens of this nation and we each want this country to move in the same direction to make it a better home for our children and grandchildren who – we hope – will be living together peacefully. And for them we wish a nation that is prosperous where they can obtain a good education and find a decent job to support their families.
These are Malaysian problems. They are not just Malay, Chinese, Indian, Iban, Dayak or Kadazans problems. They are ones that affect Sabah and Sarawak the same way that they matter to people living in Selangor, Penang, Kelantan or Johor. They are problems that we all face, day after day. And will continue to face unless we work harder for change.
Today our nation is confronted with monumental challenges. The economy is in virtual crisis. Violent crime in our cities and villages has never been more pervasive. More Malaysians are jobless, or will lose their jobs in the coming year then ever before in our history. Our education system is crumbling just like the buildings in which our children attend school. Billions are wasted every year in blatant corruption while the poor and marginalized are left hoping for some reprieve.
We have called this gathering to celebrate our success but I am now calling you to arms. Let us renew our commitment. Let us resolve to build on what has been accomplished this year and make Malaysia great once again.
Let us fulfill our promise to our friends in Pakatan Rakyat, DAP and PAS, to build a strong partnership. We have shared aspirations for the country and we are stronger as a coalition than the sum of our parts. Together we will win the hearts and minds of the entire nation.

Thank you.

DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng has backed PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim as Parliamentary opposition leader and to lead the Pakatan Rakyat coalition.

In a contrasting view from his party chair Karpal Singh following Karpal’s outburst, Lim said the Pakatan Rakyat leadership has clearly endorsed a position that no individual party policy can be a Pakatan policy unless it is endorsed unanimously by all three parties.

“I would like to state that the DAP reaffirms its support for Pakatan Rakyat to establish an alternative government that is democratic, people-centric and with an ethical leadership based on the five principles of freedom, justice, truth, social welfare and universal moral values,” he said.

daripada David:

If the general election were to be held today, are the oppositions capable to win enough seats to form a majority government? This is because in recent months, we had seen a general feeling of dissatisfaction on many issues towards the current administration, but is that enough to woo voters to have this huge swing towards oppositions?

If the oppositions do form the government, what sort of system will the administration embrace? Apart from PAS which is fighting to form their Islamic state, PKR and DAP generally embrace a non-communal political system. Is Malaysian ready for such new system after living under race-based system for 50 years? Is the oppositions really different from BN, since we have DAP catering for the Chinese and Indians, whereas PKR and PAS cater for mainly malay voters, the eventual outcome will be the same as race-based and communal system?

David,
We are confident, with your support, to deny BN’s two third majority and will endeavor to achieve a simple majority.
KeADILan is multiracial party, working together with DAP and PAS on a clear reform agenda – freedom and justice for all.
Please do not be deluded by an incessant BN propaganda about PAS!

ANWAR IBRAHIM

Saya kira ramai yang khuatir dengan berita kononnya ada kerencaman di sebalik kerjasama KeADILan dan DAP, termasuk yang dinyatakan oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP.

Saya memilih tidak melayani kenyataan yang sengaja diputarbelit oleh media Umno-BN. Tumpuan kita adalah memperkukuh muafakat di antara parti pembangkang agar muncul sebagai alternatif berwibawa.

Yang dihebohkan sekarang adalah isu pembahagian kerusi, yang sebenarnya di peringkat akhir rundingan. Ia sekadar menyentuh satu dua kerusi Parlimen atau DUN di beberapa negeri.

Saya juga prihatin dan ingin memastikan agar pembahagian adil, mengambilkira penyertaan semua kaum serta keupayaan parti dan lambang yang boleh menarik sokongan majoriti.

Tahniah kepada rakan-rakan di Pulau Pinang dan Kedah kerana mengatur program dengan jayanya. Sambutan masyarakat India terutama di Paya Besar,Lunas sekitar 6 hingga 7 ribu orang majoriti kaum India mengejutkan banyak pihak. Samy Vellu pun mula mengaum marahkan saya. Ayo yo….

Di Tasek Gelugor dan istimewa di Markaz PAS Kedah puluhan ribu orang kebanyakannya Melayu membanjiri padang mendengar pidato ustaz Azizan, Ustaz Abdul Hadi dan saya.

Alhamdulillah perkembangan cukup menggalakkan.

Sdr Siva menganjur program petang di perumahan rakyat “Impian Baiduri” pada hari Sabtu. Tekanan dan ugutan polis luar biasa, tetapi penduduk memberanikan diri. Kawasan penduduk miskin dikongkong sedemikian rupa agar rakyat tidak memperolehi maklumat dan menuntut hak mereka. Umno tidak mahu rakyat didedahkan mengenai harga barang, rasuah dan mutu pendidikan dan kesihatan yang rendah.

Jam 10 malam saya tiba di Taman Medan berucap bersama Siva dan Ustaz Ahmad Awang. Saya tekankan agar rakyat terus bangun menentang rasuah dan kezaliman. Media Umno mahu memperbodohkan rakyat dan mengalih pandangan dari isu rasuah, kemiskinan, harga barang, video VK Lingam, dan pilihanraya yang penuh dengan penipuan.

Kita harus mengasak dan menyerang terus.

ANWAR IBRAHIM

Alhamdulillah, rakyat bangun dan tidak gentar dengan penguasa angkuh. Saya simpang siur seluruh kota kerana dihalang ke tempat perhimpunan. Apabila keadaan terdesak Sdr Saifuddin mengusulkan saya menaiki motosikal Sdr Khairi dan meluru laju menuju kawasan Istana Negara. Azizah, Shahrir dan anak-anak terus berada dalam kereta.

Laungan reformasi berkumandang semula – nyaring dan meyakinkan.

Saya bersama Ustaz Hadi Awang dan YB Kit Siang dan wakil Bersih bersama menyerah memo kepada Setiausaha DYMM Agong.

Keadaan gawat dan tegang kerana ugutan polis untuk menyuraikan majlis dengan paksa. Saya berucap singkat dgn laungan lawan tetap……. LAWAN dan Reformasi!

Hadirin diminta bersurai sambil berjalan dgn Tan Sri Khalid, Azmin Ali dan Saifuddin menuju ke Masjid Negara.
