Mengadap Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong
Al-Wathiqu Billah Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Ibni Almarhum Sultan Mahmud al-Muktafi Billah Shah

Yang bersemayam di atas takhta Kerajaan Malaysia dengan beberapa amat kebesaran dan kemuliaannya.

Assalamualaikum dan Salam Sejahtera,

Ampun Tuanku,

Dengan hormat dan takzimnya patik sekalian merafa’kan sembah dan berdoa kehadrat Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala, mudah-mudahan Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong sentiasa berada dalam keadaan selamat dan kesejahteraan.

Ampun Tuanku,

MEMOHON PERKENAN UNTUK MENANGGUHKAN LANTIKAN PERDANA MENTERI BARU SEHINGGA NAMA BELIAU DIBERSIHKAN OLEH SURUHANJAYA BEBAS

Patik sekalian mewakili semua 81 Ahli Parlimen Pakatan Rakyat dengan penuh takzim ingin merafa’ sembah mengenai rancangan YAB Perdana Menteri untuk mengadap Seri Paduka Baginda pada 2 April ini bagi menyatakan hasrat meletakkan jawatan dan menyerahkan jawatan beliau kepada YAB Timbalan Perdana Menteri yang merupakan Presiden UMNO yang baru.

Ampun Tuanku,

Jawatan Perdana Menteri ini merupakan suatu jawatan tertinggi dalam negara yang menjadi maruah sesebuah negara. Jawatan yang sebegitu penting seharusnya diberikan kepada individu terpilih yang bersih dan tidak dipersoalkan integritinya.

Baru-baru ini terdapat banyak skandal yang mengaitkan nama YAB Timbalan Perdana Menteri seperti komisyen pembelian kapal selam Scorpene yang melibatkan negara Peranchis. Yang paling mengejutkan adalah peristiwa pembunuhan seorang wanita Mongolia yang dikatakan turut mengaitkan nama beliau. Perkara di atas telah tersebar ke seluruh dunia dan diulas di banyak akhbar dan majalah seluruh dunia.

Oleh kerana perkara di atas begitu banyak diperkatakan dan memandangkan jawatan Perdana Menteri begitu penting buat negara ini, adalah amat wajar sekiranya Seri Paduka Bagida menangguhkan lantikan Perdana Menteri yang baru ini sehingga segala dakwaan berkenaan disiasat oleh sebuah Suruhanjaya Bebas dan nama beliau dibersihkan demi menjaga maruah negara ini.

Ampun Tuanku,

Patik sekalian akhiri warkah yang tidak sepertinya ini dengan sekalung penghargaan ke atas keprihatinan dan pertimbangan Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Mudah-mudahan Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala melanjutkan usia Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan seluruh kerabat Tuanku dan semoga sentiasa berada di dalam kesejahteraan dan kebahagiaan yang berkekalan.

Amin Ya Rabbal ‘Alamin

Ampun Tuanku,

Patik sekalian dengan segala hormat takzimnya;

Teresa Kok ISA Experience (Her Story)

Teresa Kok ISA Experience

An electrical blip that plunged the DAP headquarters into darkness for some 10 minutes did not spoil the 'welcome home' party for outspoken politician Teresa Kok.

MCPXA bouquet of flowers, a cake and mooncakes were already waiting her even before she came into the conference room.

The 50-minute press conference was conducted in an almost festive note as DAP chairman Karpal Singh, Selangor MB Khalid Ibrahim and state exco colleague Elizabeth Wong joined in.

Relating the incidents of the day, Kok told of how she was tailed the whole day by police before the arrest took place on her way home last Friday.

"I was going back to my condo after a function when a car sped up to block my car while another stopped behind me.

"Police came and tapped on my window to say that I was being arrested under the ISA. My request for a phone call was rejected.

"After instructing my driver to inform the party and my family, I was taken away," said Kok.

Requests for a shower and a chance to pick up some clothings before going to the police station were also ignored, said Kok.

The police, she added, wanted to handcuff her but after pleading with them, they relented and took her to a police station without the restraints.

Kok said that she was unsure where she was taken to and only got to her cell around 4am.

During her seven-day detention, Kok said she was only questioned twice – Saturday and Sunday – on the three allegations.

After the first session on Saturday, the three-term Seputeh MP offered to write her own statement for the police.

"They gave me a laptop on Sunday and I typed out my answers to their three questions in Bahasa Malaysia," said Kok.

The rest of her detention was uneventful, said Kok, except for one day when they gave her only boiled eggs, gravy and some cucumber for lunch and dinner.


Bible to read


Initially, she was not given any reading material but later on she was given a Bible after she requested for "something". On the last two days, Kok was allowed to read newspapers.

"But I got some of the news by asking the investigating officer when I was being questioned in his room. That was the only time I got some air-cond," said the politician with an impish grin.

After the first two days, Kok was also permitted to exercise before she was returned to her '6 by 8' cell at 5.30pm each day.

The only upsetting moment in her detention was when she was told her confinement would be extended by 28 days.

"It was distressing as I had already answered their questions," said Kok.

"It was also ironic that the morning they arrested me, I was explaining to 300 businessmen from China that Malaysia was a politically stable country for them to do business with."

"Imagine, their horror when the person who spoke to them on Friday appeared in the papers the next day, detained."

On her immediate plans, Kok, said that she will return to work as soon as possible.

"In fact, I've three functions to attend tonight," said Kok.

She ended the conference by thanking everyone who had supported her, with a special note to former law minister Zaid Ibrahim, who quit after protesting the ISA arrests.

"Zaid is really my friend! Thanks Zaid and you are welcomed to join Pakatan Rakyat anytime," she quipped.

916 DEFERED : PR STATEMENT (Updated 1)

Pakatan Rakyat defers 916 takeover plan

Refer to Pakatan Rakyat Statement 12 Sept 2008

Refer also to Malaysiakini article Penubuhan K'jaan Baru mungkin terpaksa dilewatkan

The following article fro extracted from The Sun Daily - Pakatan Rakyat defers 916 takeover plan :-

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 12, 2008): The Pakatan Rakyat opposition alliance has deferred plans to unseat the government by Sept 16, its leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has said.
The announcement came in the form of a statement late Thursday after a leaders council meeting, and puts paid to his repeated assertions earlier that the deadline would be met as at least 30 Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament (MPs) were ready to crossover to the PR.

The statement said the PR was still confident of getting a sufficient number of MPs to oust the ruling coalition "soon".

Anwar needs at least 30 defectors to topple the ruling BN coalition, which has ruled Malaysia since independence in 1957. Barisan has 140 MPs and the opposition 82, including an independent.

However, the BN Backbenchers Club has taken 49 MPs on a trip to Taiwan, purportedly to learn more about agricultural techniques used successfullyl by the Taiwanese, a development mentioned in the statement as a reason for the deferment. The MPs are supposed to be back by Sept 16 or 17.

If it wins power, PR said it would call a fresh general election within six to 12 months to seek a new mandate.

Although the BN has denied it, observers say the Taiwan trip was to prevent the parliamentarians from crossing over.

Meanwhile, Sabah MP Datuk Anifah Aman said the Umno leadership must "do something" about the party's internal problems rather than worrying about whether any of its MPs are going to cross over to PR.


"What is happening now is that Umno leaders seem to be more preoccupied with the speculated defections of some of the MPs instead of addressing the problems within Umno itself", he told Bernama today.


Anifah, who is chairman of the Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) MPs' Backbenchers Club, said there was no question of Umno MPs defecting if the party remained strong and its top leadership was not sidetracked by other issues.


"I am much more concerned or worried about what is to become of Umno, especially with the impending party elections in December, than other matters," said Anifah, who is the BN MP for Kimanis and Umno Kimanis division head.


Following the general election in March, which saw the BN losing for the first time its two-thirds majority in parliament, the outspoken MP created history of sorts by publicly refusing his re-appointment as a deputy minister. He had been a deputy minister for two terms.


His subsequent sharp criticisms that states like Sabah and Sarawak were not getting a fair deal in development budget and appointments to national-level posts led to announcements of allocations of billions of ringgit to the two states.


For the first time, the Dewan Rakyat saw a politician from Sabah, Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia, being appointed Speaker, aided by two Deputy Speakers, Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar and Datuk Ronald Kiandee from Sarawak and Sabah respectively.


Anifah said Umno vice-president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's remarks on Wednesday that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi's transition plan to step down by 2010 was too long, was another problem within Umno that should be addressed before things got worse in the party, the lynchpin of the ruling BN.


Muhyiddin, the International Trade and Industry Minister, had also asked Abdullah to rethink the timeframe.


Reacting to this yesterday, Abdullah said he was surprised that a member of his Cabinet wanted him to step down before 2010 as his transition plan had been endorsed by the Cabinet and the Umno supreme council.


Another BN MP, Datuk Dr Tiki Lafe, in echoing Anifah's sentiment, said other BN component parties which regarded Umno as their "big brother" were beginning to get worried about the goings-on in the party.


Tiki, who is vice-president of the Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) and a former deputy minister, said he could see signs of a "crisis" brewing in Umno following Muhyddin's open remarks against the prime minister and Umno president.


He also cited the alleged racist outburst by Umno Bukit Bendera division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail as a worrying trend, adding that by suspending his Umno membership for three years for making the remarks, the party was only "treating the symptoms".


Tiki said: " I believe the controversy sparked by Ahmad is just the tip of the iceberg and things are not looking that good for the BN either".


"We MPs have to face our constituents who voted us in and if the leadership is not receptive or sensitive to our grouses, then the problems on the ground are likely to grow," he said.


Asked why he was not among the BN backbenchers now visiting Taiwan on a study tour of agricultural projects, Tiki said he felt the trip would not serve its purpose. "Furthermore, the timing is not right when there's so much problems at home that we should be more concerned with."
