| Pakatan’s defeat in Melaka not harbinger of GE15 performance |

KUALA LUMPUR – Putting the blame solely on Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and making the PKR president a “sacrificial lamb” for Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) dismal performance in the recent Melaka polls would be unjust as there were other factors during the campaigning period that came into play, according to analysts.
Despite a total wipeout for PKR which was seen as a severe blow to PH, analysts said it does not indicate that it is the endgame of the opposition coalition – neither is it reflective of what is to come in the 15th general election (GE15).
Universiti Malaya academic Prof Awang Azman Awang Pawi said that while the coalition’s decision to field two “political” frogs for Melaka’s Asahan and Pantai Kundor seats had backfired, it was a collective decision made by three component parties.
Moreover, the four assemblymen who had caused the collapse of the state government by withdrawing support for Chief Minister Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md. Ali were not frogs but were party-less as they were sacked by their respective parties.

PETALING JAYA: Internal strife within Pakatan Harapan (PH) could spell trouble for the opposition heading into the Sarawak state elections, and could spill over into the next general election if not kept in check, analysts warn.
Former Universiti Teknologi Malaysia lecturer Azmi Hassan said recent infighting over seat allocations suggested that all is not well in PH, especially in Sarawak.
“In Miri, for example, I think both PKR and DAP will want to contest, which could explain why the PH parties are planning to use their own symbols (rather than the PH logo).
“There seems to be friction after the Melaka elections, and I think it will probably be seen in Sarawak, which will affect the big picture that is GE15 (the next general election),” he told FMT.

ADUN SPEAKS | Former inspector-general of police Hanif Omar and Malay Consultative Council (MPM) secretary-general Hasan Mad said that I am ignorant for pre-judging about vernacular schools in the country.
Hanif by the way is the adviser of MPM.
He is an interested party in calling for the abolition of vernacular schools.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court is in the midst of hearing a case initiated by three Malay organisations calling for the abolition of the Chinese and Tamil vernacular schools.

PETALING JAYA: Negotiations between PAS and Umno under its Muafakat Nasional (MN) pact will face challenges in the near future if some party leaders want to act like a “big brother”, says PAS vice-president Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.
The Terengganu menteri besar said such an attitude would hinder PAS’ efforts and greater goal of establishing political cooperation among all Malay-Muslim parties in the nation.
“If there is a ‘big brother’, then it will be tough. PAS adopts an open attitude because our bigger objective is to foster political cooperation among all Malay-Muslim parties,” he said, according to Utusan Malaysia.
Nonetheless, Samsuri said PAS would continue its efforts to bring together both Umno and Bersatu under a form of political cooperation through negotiations.

PETALING JAYA: An Umno leader took a swipe at PAS for shutting out its splinter party, Amanah, in pursuing its oft-repeated calls for the unity of the ummah.
Lenggong MP Shamsul Anuar Nasarah said PAS should embrace Amanah if it is insistent that Umno should accept the Bersatu-led Perikatan Nasional (PN) into the Muafakat Nasional (MN) fold in the larger interests of Malay-Muslim unity.
He said today he agreed with PAS’ position that the question of unity of the ummah should not be confined to certain groups or be done in a selective manner.
He was commenting on a statement by PAS Youth chief Abdul Fadhli Shaari who supported party president Abdul Hadi Awang’s stand that MN would be “incomplete” without PN in the grouping.

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 28 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob today launched the National Unity Action Plan and the Kami @Keluarga Malaysia Unity Plan in his effort to strengthen interracial and interreligious harmony.
The country’s ninth prime minister who initiated the concept of Keluarga Malaysia — which translates to the “Malaysian Family” — said there is a need for people to be more open in their thinking and focus more on their shared traits than their differences.
“This revelation is also significant so that the multi-ethnic society can control speech and activities that touch on religious sensitivities as well as culture of other ethnicities which often trigger negative reactions,” he said during the launch at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre here.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stood on the House floor and implored her colleagues to hold Paul Gosar accountable for sharing an altered anime video showing him killing her and attacking Joe Biden.
“Our work here matters. Our example matters. There is meaning in our service,” Ocasio-Cortez said in her speech last week. “And as leaders in this country, when we incite violence with depictions against our colleagues, that trickles down into violence in this country.”
House Republicans heard Ocasio-Cortez’s impassioned plea and responded with a collective shrug. All but three Republican members voted against censuring Gosar and stripping him of his committee assignments, while every House Democrat supported the resolution.

Zahid says can still negotiate GE15 to be earlier than July 2022 as Pakatan-govt MoU not ‘holy scripture’
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 28 — The memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the government and the Pakatan Harapan (PH) Opposition coalition is not “holy scripture” that forbids national elections before July next year, according to Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman said the MoU just means that a consensus decision must be reached before polls are called, which allows room for negotiations to take place.
“We respect the MoU, but it is not a holy scripture, far from the words written in the al Quran.
“I don’t think we should breach [the MoU] but what is best is for us to negotiate, with all parties definitely having their different views, through a consensus.

KUANTAN – Perikatan Nasional (PN) intends to contest in all 14 Parliament seats and 42 state seats in Pahang in the coming 15th general election (GE15), said Pahang PN chairman Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.
As preparation, he said, the discussion on seat allocations between parties in PN, namely Bersatu, PAS, and Gerakan, is at the initial stage, with each party sending two representatives.
“The three parties agree that there should be an initial discussion, and the small group will discuss candidly to work out the seat allocation formula for GE15.
"For the time being, the seats to be contested by the parties involved have to be referred to the respective party committees before being finalised,” he said.
Saifuddin, who is also Pahang Bersatu chief, said this in a media conference after attending the Indera Mahkota Bersatu division annual conference at Kompleks Dagangan Mahkota here today.
As preparation for GE15, Saifuddin who is also foreign minister, said Pahang Bersatu’s priority at the moment is to heed the call of party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to set up many branches and increase membership to prepare the party’s machinery. – Bernama, November 28, 2021
