Social reform group Aliran has come out with a media statement:
Aliran is dismayed that Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has capitulated to pressure from certain quarters for an early general election despite the impending monsoon season.
It is common knowledge that the so-called court cluster from Umno want an early general election as a way out of their legal troubles – no matter the cost to the people and the country.
The leaders of Umno – the party only has 37 or 17% of the 222 MPs – have even ignored the wishes of 12 Perikatan Nasional cabinet ministers in the Barisan Nasional-PN-plus government who did not want a general election to be held this year. The PN ministers felt that the focus should be on the people’s welfare.
This is the first time in Malaysian history there has been such a ‘mutiny’ in the ranks of the cabinet about the call for an early general election. Not only that, Pakatan Harapan and other opposition MPs have also expressed opposition to early polls.
The Umno leaders’ push shows that their quest for even more power supersedes the wellbeing and needs of the people.
That the establishment could ignore the struggles of the people instead of focusing on how to ease their suffering shows just how selfish, inconsiderate and out of touch they are.
Many ordinary people have been struggling to recover from the lockdowns and restrictions over the last two years, while the higher cost of living has worsened their pain.
The dissolution of Parliament so soon after the tabling of Budget 2022 raises the question of whether the promises in the Budget, which has not yet been thoroughly vetted in Parliament, will be used to lure voters.
The Budget and the perks in it are ploys to sustain the old ways. We need new dynamic and sustainable ways of taking the nation forward.
This whole drama shows us why it is so important to have a fixed-term parliament and state assemblies so that the people will not be bullied like this again.
The instability since the backdoor takeover of government in the ‘Sheraton move’ has been caused by a group of selfish politicians thinking only of their own self-interest.
In the upcoming general election, the people must restore stability by voting out the corrupt and those without integrity [Check out the MP profiling website].
Vote instead for political parties that will support the five points in the People’s Agenda and for candidates who agree to the 10 demands from the People’s Manifesto.
Aliran appeals to all voters, including first-time voters, to check their voting details online and come out in numbers. We must all vote out the corrupt and those who manipulate race and religion for political gain. We must instead usher in a more compassionate, competent and inclusive nation.

At this stage of the campaign for the imminent elections, PH should just focus on what they are going to do for the nation to make it a better place for us all. It should come up with a Manifesto now which is realistic and easily digestible. Do not waste precious time responding to garbage from the Kleptocrats and Islamists who give Islam a bad name by their lies. PH must not fall into the trap of “protesting too much”. The Rakyat know the nation has been mismanaged and they are suffering as a result. PH has to convince them… Read more »
Boleh tak PM Sabri jelaskan pasal apa Singapore ketinggalan jauh atau pasal apa duit dia Singapore lebih jauh tinggi macam US pulak . Mana singapura boleh maju seperti tu walaupun tiada hasil bumi ataupun minyak tu pun air beli drpd Malaysia. Boleh jelaskan pada rakyat pasal apa Ringgit Turun walaupun Barang Naik?
Corruption, abuse of power and false promises by leaders of Malay and Islamic-dominant political parties are conveniently whitewashed with cash and goodie handouts to the unsuspecting rural populace.

What will the state of our beloved nation be post GE15 should a known and corrupt political party win GE15?
Objective for PRU15 is to deny BN Umno.
So be careful not to put your votes on small parties like Warisan, Parti Bangsa Malaysia and Pejuang as they are meant to split opposition votes to enable BN small margin victory.
Give PH another chance since Sheraton Move has robbed them. PN is a no no since it had the extremist PAS.

PSM deputy chairperson S Arutchelvan said his party would not give up on its struggles despite negotiations for a potential pact with Pakatan Harapan falling through.
https://m.malaysiakini.com/news/641799
PKR president Anwar Ibrahim, it is simply this: To defeat the kleptocrats, their infected family members, their solicitors, the court clusters, the cronies, the gravy-train industry captains, opposition politicians need to look beyond their parties and themselves. To Harapan, Bersatu (minus PAS), Warisan, it’s time to make an electoral pact with all those, who are challenging BN in the interest of the nation. To avoid multi-cornered fights, it’s that time to forgive and move forward together. Anwar, both Bersatu chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin and his deputy Azmin Ali were once your comrades.

Well, lets see if he would listen to you.
Hallo, Xiao Wen. The Pakatan Harapan Opposition coalition has also family members now contesting in the GE15. They have dropped most of their hardworking MPs. Have you asked them, what is the reason for this.
A nice little Opposition coalition family thing going on there.
All pha you forget to tell how many gens are running in pekan?
Does Aliran endorse PSM (subscribe to People’s Agenda?) to join Harapan if given the blessing to contest at Sungai Siput?
https://youtu.be/2e3ab-4ldzw
It sounds interesting.
Aliran has not taken any official position on this.
PSM and Muda without any current seat must be humble and not ask for too much to join PH.

Political debates before a general election was and is definitely not part of our culture. You are absolutely correct on this. Just declare the election date and off we go to vote and by nightfall we get to know the results, after which we continue with the governing of our Nation. End of story. The media keeps us Rakyat updated on the goings on in our Nation on both positive and negative issues. All these boring debates that these people especially… Read more »

When your master goes overseas, regional and internation forum, master is silence is golden and sound of silence. Just compare Joko of Indon – everyone knows and respect him as Indonesia is holding the G20 conference. We are kampong champions and katak di tempurong
C2 == You can look at the media statements the PH Opposition leader is giving out. The statements are so empty. One can easily rebut him without a debate, especially the ones he made contesting for the Tambun seat. Nothing about the Tambun constituency or its constituents but all about himself. And then, we have his previous Port Dickson constituency, Melaka. Any achievements there that we Rakyat can praise him for? Can’t think of anything except for the one time photo of him picking paper and plastic waste at the beach side. As usual their clueless supporters will make the usual… Read more »

Not about dogs or animals. Imagine, loose morality, corruption and hypocrisy etc, etc, was already in practice during His time some 2000 years ago and most probably well before that.

At a Friday sermon last week, Hadi said PAS had rejected any cooperation with Pakatan Harapan as the coalition was led by “communists” and was supportive of the LGBTQ community while BN was “shady”.

With all the troubles the State of Penang has been experiencing from Kedah State Govt ah thought Pakatan Harapan would be going after the Kedah State for the coming GE15.

Yes, we the Rakyat also understood the same too and know that it was said in jest, a little ‘jamming’ with his coalition leaders, poking fun at the Opposition parties hypocritical ways and actions during their time as the ruling government. The members of the floor there understood in that way too and started laughing ( ” His comments drew laughter from the crowd… Read more »
Zahid has scored own goal, and MCA said it was a joke ? Whyat a comedy or disaster for BeEnd? We shall shriek when GE15 outcome is known, by then such folly can be costly?
If ordinary Rakyat like me can understand that he was poking fun of the Opposition coalition, am sure many other ordinary Rakyat understands the same too. Its just part and parcel of the campaigning process. There is no need to get ones socks in knots
Ordinary folks like me know basic moral. Corruption is bad. Don’t sock up the money meant for the rakyat. We are old now. Don’t deliver explosive parcels for younger generations. Vote wisely with conscience.
At every level of our so called civilized society, everyone knows what basic moral is, in one form or other, including those so called next to God religious groups the world over and yet corruption thrives at all this levels, also in one form or other.
As the saying goes, ” Let He or She Who Has Not Sin Cast The First Stone “
I love dogs but dogs dont understand and will bark at others. They only understand and obey their masters. I notice dogs dont hue others.
Ah understand what a dog is. Understand they will bark at others but that’s due to envy. Understand they will obey their masters if they trained well.
But do not understand what’s ‘ hue others ‘ is but good to know you work with them well. They are good creatures.
They are good creatures. But when master call them, they obey their master more. If you passby the house, they will bark. Even if you tried to be friendly with them, they still bark. Dogs will protect their territory and master’s property …

No member of the Opposition coalition was prosecuted during their time as Ruling Govt. Those who were charged before GE14 were said to have insufficient evidence after GE14 and NFA followed. They played politics on the independence of power. Now the Opposition hypocrites are talking about the Rule of the Law and the Independence of power – the Executive, Legislative and Justice.

A3 == Because he was a state official, there were cries of corruption from the Rakyat but it was said that no evidence was found of any wrongdoing and the case was cleared from any further actions. One of a number of cases that was closed by the Opposition Government during the time they were ruling. Guess who was the Opposition leader and PM then ?

A2 == The Rakyat had a good laugh too, but not so much, the clueless Opposition leaders and their not so smart group of supporters. They do not know what a joke is. If the Opposition and their supporters are true in their belief in Justice and its independence and the rule of the law as they were recently shouting about, they would have also spoken about their own ‘faulty’ members and their negative actions. It was mostly UMNO leaders who were prosecuted and non from the Opposition who were all cleared of any wrong doing. An example, was a family… Read more »

It is shriekingly scary if this guy becomes Penang CM if you vote for BN-Umno:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=pdtq5RIECDw&feature=youtu.be
What’s more scary is to see our beloved, naturally beautiful, Pearl of an island being turned into a place of concrete, brick and mortar and over burden it with polluting motor vehicles. Naturally, an unnatural thing to do.
Your BN Gilakan Parti build the tallest building and destroy the amusement park. Your BN CM gave the tallest building project to his relative in Sink apor to design the building at Penang Kias’ s expenses
Yes, Penang Rakyat were unhappy about it, called it someone’s erection at that time, followed by what looks like a sore thumb sticking out. Why complain, you love anything Singapore, right ?
Once in a while we will have this type of leaders with no sense like what we are facing with right now, hell bent on Mega projects with all things concrete, brick and mortar.
… You still holed up in small island. Go and see Sink apor. They are attracting western foreigners and they no complain they live in concrete jungles. The roads are shaded with trees and landscaping. They are growing plants on building tops. Too bad, you cant afford as your BeEnd RM is more than 3 times Sing $$
Malu apa kebijaksanaan? Pakai otak kera pun faham yang sebenarnya.
All Apha, is a crime to buy at a discount price? You mean politicians must buy at higher price like mat sallehs? Any cronyism in return for discount price? A not so close friend works in supermarket used to give me less than half price for a evening chook cook during noon.
This is a ‘offbeat’ question to ask, shriek. But if you must know, ah too buy discount items.
Normally, if the price is high with a reasonable amount of stock, I’d know not many are going to buy it, so I’d wait for the items to be moved to the ‘discount basket’, then buy a few and stock them.
Different items, different types of discounts. Ah am simply a poor old man with a little bit of money for spending, shriek. So, discounts comes in handy.
All pha, just nice to them, you get discount. But the way you write here, see you, they tambah harga. They know you BN loaded with $$$ … A lot of chai $$$ from BN. Election time, BN will give you goodies especially the more you write
Barisan Nasional has plenty of experience governing our Nation. They are a single coalition party which will be good for our Nation’s stability. Its just that they have to weed out a few bad ones.
Are hear Pakatan Harapan is doing something similar, weeding out their long serving members but for all the wrong reasons. Is this true, shriek?
They also has experience in using ketuanan, religion and race. They love everything under table. East Malaysia and Malaya is very rich in resouces. Where are the $$$ and experience in makan makan. You think the movie for a few $$$ more? In fact the whole team is rotten as they know they have to feed their supporters.
All Pha – See Gilakan left BeEnd and how MIC is treated and wanted to saty away from GE15. Only your Wee is eating the leftovers….
All pha, now you accept discount is acceptable as long. It can be traded at the person’s aspect but not at other’s or national’s aspect
GE15 voting is very simple.
You vote to embrace multi-culturism or single-ethnic arrogance?
You vote for tolerance for corruption without shyness (malu apa) or not?
It’s simple as ABC. No need complicated alpha beta cronies.
Its only every 5 years Mike. Last GE14 , we gave PH a chance and they screwed it up in 22 months. Remember, one of the U Turns was the abolishing of the Sedition Act. Now they want to have a senseless separate voting time period for State Seats. As usual, we Rakyat become the pawns in the hands of the politicians.
BN cultivate kakat culture. $$$ is King and queen from your BN time.More than 65 years under BN and MCA,… worst than PH due to traitors.65 years, tell us 8 and not 888 reasons what have BN achieved and done for rakyat.
8 reasons will be 8 pages and longer, not enough space here. So, you being said to be young, go check it out yourself if you are keen to know what BN has achieved and done for our Rakyat for the past 65 years by using Smartphone/PC, internet, Google etc.
All pha, you always link your messages to certain websites. Again you said is 888. But you cant link 8 or more than 1 website? Good at spinning again?
You are experience in going to websites and hyperlink them. You cant hyperlink them because there is none for you. You cant prove me I am wrong
we give BN sooooo many many chances and they totally detroy it with under table, teh tarik, ketuanan, race amd belief. Where is our $$$. Why RM5 to USD!?
A4 == The Rakyat is grateful to TMM for his foresight in introducing the 21st century Digital Age to our Nation just before the dawn of the 21st century. Will our current leaders be able to know the transformation that is going to take place with E Digital and AI in the coming years of the 21st Century or are they going to still remain in 20th century and let the 21st century Digital age just pass by.
