Cakap-cakap pilihan raya umum serentak dengan Sarawak mula kedengaran

SEBAIK muncul di khalayak umum selepas sembuh menghidap penyakit cacar, badan Datuk Seri Najib Razak kelihatan susut sedikit, tetapi wajah tetap berseri dengan bibirnya berwarna kemerahan, yang sinonim dengan penampilannya. 

Ketika mula diserang penyakit itu 4 November lalu, Perdana Menteri berada di bilik air di kediamannya. Najib kini sudah hampir sembuh sepenuhnya dan kembali bertugas, meskipun banyak acaranya sejak seminggu lalu, diwakilkan kepada Timbalannya, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. Tidak hairanlah Facebook Najib dibanjiri ribuan ucapan selamat kembali bertugas, diiringi doa untuk terus sihat. Menjelang 3 April tahun depan, Najib akan menyambut ulang tahun kedua sebagai Perdana Menteri. Beberapa hari sebelum itu, 26 Mac 2011, Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud pula menyambut ulang tahun ke-30 sebagai Ketua Menteri Sarawak. 

Sejak Barisan Nasional (BN) menang dua pilihan raya kecil, iaitu Parlimen Batu Sapi (Sabah) dan Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Galas (Kelantan) baru-baru ini, sudah ada cakap-cakap kemungkinan pilihan raya umum diadakan dalam tempoh terdekat, serentak dengan pilihan raya negeri Sarawak. 

Yang pasti, Sarawak akan adakan pilihan raya negeri dalam tempoh lapan bulan mulai sekarang kerana DUN yang ada akan tamat tempohnya menjelang 24 Julai 2011. Antara Mac hingga April depan adalah tarikh popular menjadi teka-teki pemerhati politik, untuk pilihan raya. 

Yang belum pasti ialah pilihan raya umum, sama ada ia akan diadakan serentak dengan pilihan raya negeri Sarawak. Jika serentak, bermakna pilihan raya umum juga perlu diadakan sebelum Julai depan, meskipun tempoh kerajaan BN pada peringkat Persekutuan sekarang hanya akan berakhir pada 2013, lebih dua tahun lagi.

BINTULU: Private sector companies should follow the good example of Bintulu Port Sdn Bhd (BPSB) in organising a voter registration exercise for its employees.

Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Youth vice-chief Pandi Suhaili said this was one of the ways to facilitate registration of young voters.

“We (PBB Youth) hope that more private sector companies will follow the initiative taken by BPSB.

“We are prepared to assist by sending our members to be appointed as assistant registrar of voters to their office,” he said.

According to him, the level of awareness among young people who are eligible to be voters is low, and it requires the efforts of employers, whether in public or private sector, to rectify this.

Dato Ahmad clears the air regarding PBB Youth Wing vice-chief’s statement

KUCHING: In response to the statement made by the vicechief of Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu’s (PBB) Youth Wing, Pandi Suhaili which warned that Dato’ Ahmad Ibrahim had overstepped his boundaries as branch chairman when issuing a statement on behalf of PBB’s Youth Wing on 29 August at a function in Kpg Hj. Baki, Dato’ Ahmad yesterday issued a press statement to call for calm over the matter. 

He stressed that the Youth Wing’s vice-chief may be over reacting to a statement that may have been misreported, misquoted or not reported accurately.

“He can check with RTM, they covered the event and have the actual recordings. I believe Pandi does not have any ill intent. He is just stating the obvious, that I am just the Ketua Cawangan of PBB N13 Batu Kawa. How can I make statements on behalf of PBB Youth Wing?”, asked Ahmad in his statement.

“Nevertheless, we in PBB are one family. To avoid misunderstandings, it would not have taken him much effort to counter check and consult with one another. However, among family members, misunderstandings do happen too and consultation yet again is the remedy. The cultural virtue of consultation is the very fabric that binds us together and the basis of PBB’s unity and strength all this while.

“Anyway, this is the Holy Month of Ramadhan, without any second thoughts, we forgive and let bygones be bygones. The state election is imminent, there are many pertinent issues and groundwork that needs our full focus and attention instead of picking petty fights with one another. “I won’t be part of that, let’s just move on to protect BN’s interest”.
