Bukan Tsunami Cina tapi gelombang kedua Tsunami 2008

KUALA LUMPUR: Dakwaan Datuk Seri Najib Razak yang mengaitkan keputusan Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13 (PRU13) dengan perkauman kononnya sebagi 'Tsunam Cina' disanggah banyak pihak.

Penganalisis politik, Datuk Dr Mohammad Agus Yusoff berkata beliau berbeza dengan pandangan tersebut.

Katanya, apa yang berlaku pada PRU13 menunjukkan bukan sahaja kebangkitan masyarakat Cina, tetapi kebangkitan seluruh rakyat Malaysia.

"Yang jelas pada saya ialah PRU 13 merupakan gelombang kedua tsunami rakyat, dari bandar, semi bandar, desa, golongan muda, kelas menengah dan lain-lain, yang bangkit untuk menuntut pembentukan sebuah kerajaan yang bersih, adil dan bertanggungjawab kepada semua rakyat. 

Anwar mahu selesai isu penipuan p'raya dulu

Zulaikha Zulkifli

Ketua Umum PKR Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim berkata beliau akan menimbangkan mengenai persaraannya daripada politik selepas menyelesaikan isu penipuan dan penyelewengan yang didakwa berlaku dalam pilihan raya umum ke-13.  

Katanya, beliau memutuskan demikian kerana beranggapan bahawa perjalanan pilihan raya kali ini telah "dicuri" daripada rakyat melalui proses penipuan.  

"Pendirian saya sama. Saya ada mendapat tawaran untuk mengajar di beberapa universiti utama. Saya masih fikir. Tapi saya nak selesaikan penipuan ini. (Ia) belum selesai. Saya dah menang. Pilihan raya ini sudah dimenangi oleh Pakatan Rakyat. 

"Saya rasa apa yang perlu diperjelaskan sekarang ini ialah, pilihan raya ini telah dicuri melalui proses penipuan. Kerana mengikut proses yang biasa dan yang adil, kita sudah menang. Hampir mustahil (kalah) kalau dilihat dari sambutan yang ada. 

Beliau yakin bahawa kemenangan pilihan raya kali ini telah dicuri memandangkan momentum yang berlaku dibeberapa kawasan yang beliau kunjungi. 

Interest to join Pakatan

Hi, my name is S. Ann, a soon to 22 years old girl staying at Setapak whom is disappointed with what happened on the GE-13. I feel so upset looking at government playing dirty tricks brightly yet we can't do anything to stop it, this has triggered my interest to join Pakatan Rakyat so that I can fight together with everyone for our country's future and for the future of people close to me. Although we are aware that a clean election is needed to change everything, but sad to say that even SPR is siding the government. As a citizen in Malaysia, I wish we can be a better country, a country without dirty election, free media and free from corruption.

I shall end my words here, thanks for spending time to read my e-mail!

A message to all Malaysians

We Malaysians stand today on the brink of history. We have reached the final day of a historic campaign that will change our country forever. Throughout Malaysia, we have seen hundreds of thousands of people of all ethnicities come to our ceramahs. The response in frontline states such as Johor, Sabah and Sarawak, the heartland and fortresses of Umno and Barisan Nasional, has been tremendous and inspiring.

To the rakyat and supporters of Pakatan Rakyat, we thank you for your faith, your courage, and your committment. This is a campaign built on the millions of small and large sacrifices that you have all made. It humbles me and all leaders in Pakatan Rakyat. 

Sunday’s election will mark the decisive step in an amazing, peaceful, democratic revolution that will take Malaysia into a new era. Let us go out to vote in strength on Sunday for candidates in Keadilan, PAS and DAP. 

Vote with faith, courage and vision

"To all Malaysians: our nation is a land of promise and fullfilment. Seize your destiny. Ini Kalilah!".

"Your decision will take Malaysia into a new era. Go out and vote with strength, encourage all your family, friends and neighbours to cast their ballots," Anwar

Selamat mengundi Malaysia – Ini Kali Lah!

MAY 5, 2013

Ini adalah yang paling penting semenjak 56 tahun kemerdekaan. Ia adalah masa untuk rakyat Malaysia membentuk Malaysia Baru. Memang benar, negara kita sudah merdeka, tetapi kemerdekaan yang lebih besar adalah kemerdekaan daripada sebuah kerajaan yang zalim di bawah pemerintahan BN.

Menjelang hari-hari terakhir kempen, kita akan dihidangkan dengan insiden-insiden buruk pada hari pengundian, kekecohan semasa pengiraan undi dan pelantikan Perdana Menteri yang baru akan dicemari oleh muslihat kotor BN dan agensi-agensi kerajaan yang mahu merampas kemenangan pilihan raya daripada tangan kita. Anggota keselamatan negara dan agensi yang seharusnya bertanggungjawab untuk melaksanakan tugas mereka secara jujur, bebas dan saksama akan bertindak dengan cara yang sangat berpihak, seterusnya menjadikan pilihan raya ini tidak lagi bebas dan adil.

With less than two days to go, Anwar is bullish on Putrajaya

Terence Fernandez & Nadya Ngui, The Malay Mail

INTERVIEW Pakatan Rakyat leader Anwar Ibrahim has never been more optimistic about taking Putrajaya than now. In an interview with The Malay Mail and Oriental Daily, he explains why.

How's the campaign going so far?

Anwar: I'm very encouraged by the support after nomination, especially from the younger voters. It's very apparent that they support us. That the majority of Malaysians support us. I used to be cautiously optimistic, but then Najib Razak used the same thing (campaign promises), so I'm now quite optimistic.
