Siti Kassim questions certain politicians crawling back to "UMNO"

TO THE POLITICIANS WHO GOT SACKED, LEFT OR KICKED OUT FROM THEIR POLITICAL PARTIES AND NOW WANTING TO RETURN

Getting sacked is not a badge of honour — especially when you come crawling back, prominent and controversial lawyer Puan Siti Kassim said recently via her Facebook posting.

She reminded let’s not rewrite history.

According to Siti, these politicians weren’t some brave reformers who walked away on principle. You were removed. Expelled. Shown the door.

"At that time, you played victim." 

She added, these leaders  painted themselves as the one standing up against wrongdoing.

"You told the rakyat you were different. So what happened now?" the fierce lawyer asked.

Sacarstically she questioned: "Did the reasons you were kicked out suddenly disappear?" 

"Or did your “principles” expire the moment political survival became harder?

" Because coming back after being sacked doesn’t look like redemption.

"It looks like rehabilitation for convenience.

"If you were truly wronged, why return? If you were truly right, why rejoin?

"You can’t have it both ways," Siti suggested.

She also said that either the party was flawed enough for the politticians to be removed and criticised — or it’s acceptable enough for them to re-enter.

Siti believed the reality is that this constant flip-flop exposes the real issue: it was never about principles — it was always about positioning.

"And the rakyat can see the pattern very clearly:

"When you’re inside — you defend. When you’re outside — you attack.

"When you’re desperate — you return," she said.

Lastly, Siti firmly told these politicians: " That’s not political struggle. That’s political survival with no spine." 

Siti didn't mention names of any individual, neither had she specified any political parties. It's only the assumption of Permadu Malaysia that Siti Kassim was referring to Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and Encik Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar returning back to UMNO.

Australian political analyst says Malaysian PM's political party, PKR is in collapse

Image
While Malaysian prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is on an official visit to Italy, Spain and Brazil to attend the BRICS summit, his own Peoples’ Justice Party (PKR) is in rapid collapse at home. News is emerging from chat groups and pundits there are mass branch resignations of members across more than 200 branches nationwide. Some branches just don’t exist anymore. The party vote for deputy president, where Puan Nurul Izzah Anwar, Anwar Ibrahim’s daughter challenged incumbent Rafizi Ramli, who was minister of economy until he resigned a few weeks ago showed that some 16,000 members out of 30,000 eligible, did not even bother to vote in this nationally publicized dual. This just indicates the level of apathy within PKR itself, with such an important event for the future of the party. PKR has gradually been losing electoral support since 2013. In the 2014 general election PKR received 20.39 percent of the national aggregate vote, and in 2022 PKR only received 15.72 percent of the...

MAHATHIR MAY REJOIN UMNO

Image
What Mahathir expected did not happen Initially, Mahathir Mohamad thought his party – PPBM (Bersatu) – could  morph  into a new version of UMNO. After all, it was him who brilliantly destroyed the original UMNO in 1988 and created “UMNO Baru” (the current UMNO version 2.0). But unlike in 1988, Mr. Mahathir had quit UMNO to form PPBM on 8 September 2016, and was no longer in charge of UMNO. UMNO won four times higher than Bersatu in GE14 Hence, after he leveraged on opposition Pakatan Harapan and stunningly defeated the scandal-plagued Najib government, his first priority was  recruiting  UMNO MPs to join his party. UMNO, although lost miserably, still won 54 parliamentary seats in the May 2018 General Election – more than 4 times the number of seats Mahathir’s party managed to capture. PPBM the worst among four strategic parties Mahathir’s party won  only 13 seats  out of the 52 Parliamentary seats it contested in the 2018 poll. That’s ...

Ketua Pemuda UMNO ajak Ahli MKT UMNO bertumbuk

Image
Dua tokoh parti politik yang sukar dipisahkan dari imej rasuah , semakin panas bertelagah Rentak Madani 🎵 Akhbar Sinar Harian melaporkan semalam bahawa Ketua Pemuda UMNO, Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh mencabar Ahli Majlis Kerja Tertinggi (MKT) UMNO,  Datuk Lokman Noor Adam  supaya berdepan dengannya sama ada di mahkamah ataupun di gelanggang, berikutan tuduhan kononnya beliau mempunyai agenda tersembunyi untuk menaikkan  Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein  sebagai Perdana Menteri. Amaran itu dibuat selepas Lokman secara terbuka menggelar beliau sebagai ‘Ketua Pemuda H20’ dalam satu wawancara bersama sebuah platform baru-baru ini. Menurut Muhamad Akmal, Lokman kini mempunyai dua pilihan, sama ada menjawab saman beliau di mahkamah ataupun bertemu di gelanggang bagi menyelesaikan isu berkenaan. “Kamu ada dua pilihan. Pilihan pertama, kita lawan di mahkamah. Aku saman kamu," cabar Akmal. Lokman berpendapat, Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Merlimau itu menggunakan kelebih...

Isu Stadium Shah Alam, suami Hannah Yeoh dapat kontrak, parkir, terkini babi — faktor penyumbang PH kalah di PRN akan datang

Image
Lebih kurang UMNO juga Satu demi satu isu mencurigakan berlaku di Selangor. Pada mulanya Pakatan Harapan (PH) disangka akan membuat pembaharuan. Rupanya lebih kurang UMNO juga. Jika UMNO sudah dihukum rakyat di Selangor, maka sudah tiba giliran PH pula. Seperti tajuk di atas, isu Stadium Shah Alam, suami Menteri DAP Puan Hannah Yeoh dapat kontrak, kontroversi pemilik syarikat parkir, dan terkini kontroversi ladang babi dijangka akan menjadi faktor penyumbang PH kalah di PRN akan datang. Semalam,  MalaysiaGazette melaporkan b ekas Ketua Penerangan UMNO Selangor Encik Isham Jalil menyarankan Menteri Besar Selangor, para Exco Kerajaan Negeri dan penyokongnya supaya berpindah ke Bukit Tagar, kawasan berdekatan ladang babi yang menimbulkan kontroversi. Dengan tindakan berkenaan, barulah kepimpinan Selangor akan memahami bantahan  penduduk  Selangor terhadap cadangan untuk menjadikan negeri berkenaan sebagai pengeksport babi terbesar ke Singapura. “ Selepas   itu   b...

OVERCONCENTRATION OF A MALAY POPULATION MAKES SHAH ALAM A GHOST CITY, SAYS ANALYST

Image
Shah Alam City YESTERDAY, FMT reported that the capital city of Selangor had become very quiet, slow and almost no business, many buildings unoccupied, which one of them only utilised by less than ten staff of a company. Some factories closed down, businesses from petty traders to big timers closed shops for the past six months and so on. Even foreign business people from Indonesia and Pakistan decided to go back to their respective countries or moved to other places. A prominent business analyst, in his blog wrote that one of the reasons for the downfall of Shah Alam was the government's policy in overconcentrating a Malay population in the said city. Syed Albar Ali also suggested other reasons as well. Below is the write-up as published by OutSyed The Box on 30 January 2020. Syed Akbar Ali's comments :   Just the other day Forest City announced 400 staff were being let go.  Could it be because things are not so great anymore? D...

It happens everywhere—Not only in our country

Image
THE WOLF NEVER WANTED THE ARGUMENT A Wolf And A Lamb Meet At A Stream. Not As Enemies. As Neighbors Sharing Water. The Wolf Is Higher Up The Brook. The Water Runs From Him To Her. Still, He Accuses. “You Muddy My Water.” The Lamb Answers Gently. She Is Correct. Physics Is On Her Side. The Water Cannot Flow Upward. The Accusation Collapses Instantly. So The Wolf Replaces It. “I Heard You Spoke Ill Of Me Last Year.” The Lamb Explains Again. She Is Six Months Old. She Did Not Exist Last Year. Another Charge Fails. So The Wolf Stops Pretending To Care About Truth. “If It Was Not You, It Was Your Father.” And With That, The Argument Ends. The Teeth Appear. The Lamb Is Eaten. This Story Is Not About Cruelty. It Is About Power. The Wolf Never Wanted An Explanation. He Wanted A Justification. Each Accusation Was Not A Question But A Stepping Stone Toward An Outcome Already Decided. This Is The Pattern Predators Follow: They Accuse First. Then Adjust The Accusation Until Resistance Looks Like G...

Image
Selamat menyertai Kelab Agamawan Problematik Nampaknya seorang lagi tokoh agamawan, pendakwah, penceramah motivasi keagamaan dan ilmuwan agama kelihatan terjebak di arena kontroversi berkaitan perlanggaran undang-undang negara yang serius.

Oleh itu, ikutilah perkembangannya tanpa prejudis.  Itulah Datuk Dr Mashitah Ibrahim ( gambar, atas ), bekas menteri dari Barisan Nasional, pernah menjadi ahli Parlimen Baling, Kedah.

If PN chairmanship is for PAS, Hadi is the most suitable candidate, not Samsuri

Image
Samsuri has not proven any significant contribution to Terengganu and Malaysia Yes, Samsuri has potential to become a future leader, but not now Kamaruddin Noor and R Sri Sanjeevan said a party president should head PN, but Razali Idris said Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar would be a good fit.   One of Malaysian leading political news portals, FMT today reported two parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) leaders have poured cold water on a proposal for PAS vice-president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar to be a candidate for the post of Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman, saying that the position is best held by a party president. Kelantan Bersatu chief Encik Kamaruddin Noor said the PN chairman should ideally be appointed from among party leaders while Bersatu associate wing vice-chief Encik R Sri Sanjeevan said it would be more appropriate if the chairman is a party president. However, Terengganu Bersatu chief Encik Razali Idris, a Supreme Council member, said Samsuri would be a good f...

Mengapa tidak Sultan Pahang sendiri mengklarifikasi baginda ada bertitah addendum atau pun tidak

Image
Ramai sangat yang bercakap bagi pihak Sultan Pahang. Entah ya entah tidak. Biar Sultan Pahang sendiri yang bertitah memperjelas perkara sebenar. Mencampur aduk politik dan sistem perundangan sangat merbahaya dan boleh menghancurkan negara selain menghakis keyakinan rakyat terhadap pemerintah. Malangnya, inilah yang telah, sedang dan dijangka akan terus berlaku. Sudah menjadi rahsia terbuka, persepsi rakyat Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi diselamatkan oleh Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dari kes prima facie melibatkan 47 pertuduhan melalui DNAA. Pada masa sama, Anwar kata dia tidak pernah campur perihal sistem kehakiman di negara ini. Rakyat berhak untuk mempercayainya atau sebaliknya. Adakah hanya musuh politik yang kena itu satu kebetulan? Apapun, janganlah kita hanya pandai menyalahkan Anwar sahaja kerana hampir semua perdana menteri terdahulu melakukan perkara yang serupa. Terbaharu, isu titah addendum yang menjurus bekas perdana menteri Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak yang kini se...
