Selangor MB crisis: What are Astro Awani, NST up to?

69
375

Astro Awani has come up with the following news report, MB Selangor: PKR calonkan Azmin jika Istana tolak Azizah – sumber. So to NST, with this report, Azmin named MB candidate?

But Saifuddin Nasution has released a statement correcting the reports:

Parti Keadilan Rakyat (KEADILAN) merujuk kepada berita yang disiar di dalam AstroAwani “MB Selangor: PKR calonkan Azmin jika Istana tolak Azizah – Sumber” yang kononnya memetik sumber parti berhubung keputusan mesyuarat Majlis Pimpinan Pusat 2 September 2014 yang berlangsung malam tadi.

Untuk kesekian kalinya AstroAwani melaporkan berita dalam isu menteri besar secara tidak bertanggungjawab tanpa memetik sumber rasmi dari KEADILAN.

Mesyuarat Majlis Pimpinan malam tadi hanya memutuskan dua perkara yakni

a) menegaskan sokongan parti kepada YB Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail sebagai calon menteri besar Selangor dari Parti Keadilan Rakyat.

KEADILAN pada mesyuarat 21 Julai 2014 telah sebulat suara menamakan YB Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail dan mesyuarat malam tadi merupakan mesyuarat pertama oleh barisan kepimpinan baru. Persetujuan yang dicapai ialah mengukuhkan sokongan parti kepada pencalonan YB Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

b) Cadangan KEADILAN Kelantan untuk KEADILAN bertanding pada pilihanraya kecil DUN Pengkalan Kubur akan diputuskan melalui perbincangan bersama pimpinan pusat KEADILAB dan Pas dalam masa terdekat.

Amalan AstroAwani yang secara berterusan melaporkan isu Menteri Besar Selangor tanpa memetik sumber rasmi KEADILAN amat dikesali.

Saifuddin Nasution Ismail
Setiausaha Agung
Parti Keadilan Rakyat
3 September 2014

Another one, correcting an NST report:

Laporan New Straits Times oleh Mazlinda Mahmood bertarikh 3 September 2014 kononnya Parti Keadilan Rakyat (KEADILAN) menghantar dua nama calon Menteri Besar Selangor sama sekali tidak tepat.

Mesyuarat Majlis Pimpinan Pusat KEADILAN yang berlangsung pada 21 Julai 2014 dan terbaru malam tadi 2 September 2014 bersetuju dengan keputusan bahawa satu-satunya nama yang dicalonkan ialah YB Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

KEADILAN juga telah menghantar surat kepada Istana Sultan Selangor dengan melaksanakan keputusan mesyuarat tersebut.

Laporan NST yang tidak bersandarkan kepada sumber rasmi KEADILAN adalah tidak bertanggungjawab dan amat dikesali.

DAP leaders who once used to mock MCA by accusing the party of being under “Umno’s sarong” now appeared to be very comfortable under “Anwar’s sarong” instead.

To those who are still in denial that Azizah is incapable, a puppet or a remote control MB, here is one proof that should open your eyes. PKR’s response to palace over royal rebuke delayed PKR’s official response to the Selangor palace over the menteri besar crisis which was supposed to be submitted yesterday has been delayed. Who is the President and what is the President of PKR doing. Is not Azizah the President of PKR and she should be sorting out the issue. Why wait for Anwar when he is not the President. Why must she still have to… Read more »

I think its too over the board to criticize Anil this way. This is a reader supported blog. Pro and anti can also give their comments. Although he may somewhat tilt a little, we must somewhat understand that it is his view and judgement although it may differ from ours. If he is very bias he could have just deleted all such comments but he did not. To ptui him is very bad.

Those bungalows being built are way below & to the left side of the botak-ed hill. They are nearer the temple (shrine with a CAT Deity inside?) but still at steep slope.
Not sure if these bungalows for the rich & famous are owned by the same recalcitrant & arrogant developer of raped Relau Hills.

The continued use of repressive and bullying tactics to hold on to power will eventually hits the brick-wall as the law of diminishing returns sets in. Even tightly-ruled Singapore has softened its treatment towards its citizens by making U-turns to placate its voters. For example, the city-state has lately introduced new labor laws to make it harder for foreigners to get jobs.

The people behind these false reports are just trying to patronise the present regime so that their benefits will continue to be there for as long as possible ! But these very same parties will sing a different tune when the present regime is no longer there. Sad to say that is the case every where especially in the third world like Malaysia.

Anil : With other issues going around, we have missed something very important happening in Penang which is being done in a very steathy manner by the CAT regime. It is about the demolition of the iconic PDC building in Bayan Baru and replacing it with yet another gigantic eyesore of towers and “mixed development” – euphemism for mindless development that only enriches the well connected developers (see the link below) http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Community/2014/06/03/PDC-building-to-go/ This time the Dear Leader trying to use a different trick by saying that this is for BPO and a joint venture.

It’s very vacant so better consolidate PDC offices there (fyi the car park behind will tuned into phase 2 offices soon). The old PDC some said to become hotel next to sPICE. Onve convention centres of sPICE are ready, many regional meetings/conventions can be held there. The participants/visitors can stay at hotels across the streets (present PDC HQ & Olive/Arena opposite the present swimming pool). Bayan Baru to see… Read more »

PDC developed RM62 million Innoplex building to house Motorola’s R&D operation.

IT-BPO hub, a joint-venture deal valued at RM11.3 billion with Temasek Holdings of Singapore, to move Penang up the value chain and become a high-income state.

Bayan Baru township to set become a fully integrated live-work-play development with close proximity to modern facilities and airport.

Wow ! You are so well informed I assume you must be working for the CAT regime.

So the Rm62M is now down in the drains as Motorola has departed? How come the state can subsidize millions for private company with zero public transparency? why this was not announced and get approved in the state assembly ? I recall the controversy created by DAP in 2008 when Gerakan wanted the Fed govt buy Motorola’s products in order for them to stay on in Penang. Has DAP policy changed 180 degrees since ?

Mother of deception and a comedy of errors: What is PKR up to?

It was actually not one letter, but three, one each to PKR, DAP and PAS. This is because Pakatan Rakyat is not a “`registered““ coalition and hence not a ““legal entity““. And the Sultan does not want to talk to an organisation that “““does not legally exist.“““`

So for those who still doubt the police action regarding PPS, please understand ““legally“` and “`not legal““ before continuing to make ignorant remarks

Astro Awani typically gets the local academicians (the malay professors from UiTM and UTM usually) and provide their so-called ‘expert’ opinions on issues that tip towards favouring Umno in the effort to sway the opinion of the malay masses it is targeting. The panel discussion is usually one-sided and such platform is perhaps the opportunity for these academicians to ‘score points’ to meet KPI for promotion?

As per PKR Sec-Gen letter, correction is self-explanatory. Astro may be doing Azizah a favour by saving her from embarassment because Amin was already py-passed in 2013. two days ago, The Palace sources already stated (allegedly) that `Tuanku does NOT WANT a Remote – controlled MB.’ Couldn’t be more obvious than that. And yet both DAPKR defied Tuanku at their peril while PAS, since they are not involved sent their duo nominee. 43 ADUNs obeyed their Party Leaders, what a bad reflection on their herd mentality and 30 of them nominating the very candidate Tuanku has openly rejected!
