Mahathir: ‘Masa sudah sesuai’ bagi Najib panggil PRU13
SINTOK 15 April 2012- Bekas Perdana Menteri Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad hari ini berpendapat bahawa Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13 (PRU13) wajar diadakan dalam masa terdekat memandangkan sokongan rakyat terhadap kerajaan sekarang berada pada tahap yang baik.
Beliau berkata, ini memandangkan tempoh masa yang tinggal sudah tidak lama lagi iaitu menjelang pertengahan tahun depan.
Mandat kerajaan sekarang akan berakhir pada April tahun depan.
"Saya fikir takkan lama lagi dah sebab dah tak ada masa, cuma setakat pertengahan tahun depan saja. Kalau rakyat beri sokongan yang baik, masa itu adalah pilihan raya.
"Bila kita nampak boleh menang, bolehlah diadakan pilihan raya. Kita ikut sistem British, dalam sistem British bila Parlimen tamat, pilihan raya diadakan," katanya pada sidang media selepas sambutan Hari Pengasasan Ke-28 Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), di sini, hari ini.
Beliau berkata, melalui sistem berkenaan ia memberi peluang kepada kerajaan yang memerintah untuk menilai tahap populariti dan sekiranya merasakan diri mereka boleh menang, maka pilihan raya akan diadakan.
"Sekarang pun nampak bagus juga (untuk diadakan pilihan raya)," katanya ketika diminta pendapat mengenai tarikh sesuai diadakan pilihan raya.
Keputusan umum terletak dalam tangan Najib, jika beliau menganggap belum sampai masa lagi untuk mengadakan Pilihan Raya, beliau tidak akan mengumumkannya buat masa ini. Ada kemungkinan boleh ditangguh sehingga tahun depan.
BalasPadamTidak tahu bila Najib akan mengumumkan pilihanraya ke-13. Sabah dan Sarawak berharap ia akan diadakan selepas Kaamatan dan Gawai dan SPR meminta ditangguh untuk membersihkan senarai nama pengundi terlebih dahulu.
BalasPadamAda tempoh lagi. Mudah2an ada la tarikh yang sesuai untuk PRU13.
BalasPadamsebaiknya tunggu sajalah bila pru akan diadakan nanti.
PadamWe should just wait for the official announcement from Najib regarding the actual date for the next GE. Just be prepared to face the election when the time comes.
BalasPadamI'm sure Najib himself knew when is the most suitable time to hold an election, it is up to him to make the decision.
BalasPadamLets wait and see, think PRu13 is coming near soon.
BalasPadamYang penting, senarai pengundi harus dikemaskini dan memastikan pengundi yang betul-betul sah untuk mengundi.
BalasPadamThe Electoral Commission has requested the government to postpone the polls in order for them to have time to clean up the voter registration list.
Padamya..pastikan semua senarai pengundi dikemaskini.
PadamKami mengharapkan PRU yang benar bersih dan adil untuk menjamin 100% demokrasi.
BalasPadamya..semua pihak pastinya mengharapkan pru akan berjalan lancar, dan adil.
PadamNajib will decide the best date to safeguard BN.
BalasPadamAll parties are ready for the fair election.
BalasPadamya..rasanya semua parti kini sudah bersedi untuk hadapi pru.
Padamapa pun, terserah kepada PM untuk menentukan bila beliau akan buat pengumuman..
BalasPadamPM akan adakan PRU apabila masa benar2 sesuai.
BalasPadamDatuk Najib perlulah bijak mencari tarikh yang sesuai untuk melakukan PRU 13th.
BalasPadamcukup la Tun M sekadar memberikan pandangan, jangan terlalu mendesak.. jika berlaku apa2 dikemudian hari, Najib juga yang tanggung bebannya..
BalasPadamSabah Barisan Nasional component parties have been urged to remain united and steadfast, and must not be afraid to rebuke the opposition for their lies and slander against the government.
BalasPadamChief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman said this when addressing a gathering of BN component leaders and supporters at the Sabah Umno building here yesterday.
BalasPadam“The BN election machinery must be in a strong position, united and ready to take on the opposition in the coming general election.
BalasPadam“We must strengthen our spirit, prepare and organise our machinery together in an orderly manner. We must not be complacent,” he stressed.
BalasPadamMusa who is also Sabah BN and Umno chief reminded all BN components to respect the decision on candidacy, saying there should not be any bickering over who has been picked as candidates but instead should work together to ensure victory for all BN candidates.
BalasPadamAnd, he also advised BN components to avoid internal squabbles or misunderstanding as it would result in disunity among party members.
BalasPadamHe even cited the Malay proverb of “buang yang keroh, ambil yang jernih” which literally meant remove the dirty ones and take only the clean.
BalasPadamHence, he reiterated BN must be together as one to face the opposition in the upcoming general election which was considered the most crucial as well as very important for the future of the people and country.
BalasPadamHe added that BN has a remarkable track record that saw many development projects and programmes being implemented for the benefit of the people over the last 50 years.
BalasPadamIn this respect, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has channelled multi-million allocations for Sabah to develop the education, security, health and agriculture sectors and also to boost the rural economy in the State.
BalasPadamThe Chief Minister also urged the people not to gamble on their future solely for the personal interest of certain leaders.
BalasPadam“Do not make a mistake in selecting your representatives. Do not place your future on the opposition leaders who have no track record, who are opportunists and make only empty promises,” he said.
BalasPadamMusa meanwhile praised the Prime Minister, saying he had already proven his ability to govern the country well in just three years after taking over the helm of the country.
BalasPadamHe said this was evidenced by the various programmes introduced for the benefit of the people including the 1Malaysia concept, Government Transformation Programme (GTP), Economic Transformation Programme (ETP), National Key Result Areas (NKRA) and National Key Economic Areas (NKEA).
BalasPadamIn addition, he said the Federal government also introduced the 1Malaysia Clinic, 1Malaysia People’s Shop, 1Malaysia People’s Menu, 1Malaysia People’s Welfare Programme and the 1Malaysia People’s Trust Scheme.
BalasPadamThe BN government, he assured, would continue to implement more development projects and fulfil its promise to develop the whole of Sabah.
BalasPadam“The recognition accorded by a visiting foreign leader recently, who was so impressed with the progress, prosperity and harmony of our people, also spoke volume of the BN government’s efforts and achievements.
BalasPadam“Therefore, all BN leaders, from grassroots leaders to the community leaders must go down to the people to explain and inform them of the actual situation – that the BN government has always been concerned of their wellbeing. We have the facts and figures to support our claims,” Musa said.
BalasPadamLater, Musa presented letters of appointment to heads of the BN operation for the 25 parliamtary constituencies in the State.
BalasPadamOver 1,000 Sabah BN leaders, members and supporters attended the gathering.
