Barisan Nasional (BN) kekalkan kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Batang Air, Sarawak.

Pakatan pembangkang pertahankan kerusi Parlimen Bukit Gantang, Perak dan DUN Bukit Selambau, Kedah.

Keputusan status quo sama seperti kedudukan dalam pilihan raya umum lalu.

Semua calon Bebas hilang wang pertaruhan.

Ramai pengundi bukan Melayu Bukit Gantang dan Bukit Selambau sokong pembangkang.

Kalah dua bukit, rakyat semenanjung tolak Najib

(Analisis) : Sah! rakyat memilih untuk terus bersama Pakatan Rakyat bagi dua kerusi pilihan raya kecil Parlimen Bukit Gantang dan Dun Bukit Selambau.

Dalam keputusan rasmi Parlimen Bukit Gantang, calon PAS, Dato’ Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin meraih 21,860 undi, manakala calon BN, Ismail Saffian mendapat 19,071 undi, dan calon Bebas, Kamarul Ramizu Idris hanya 62 undi. Dengan itu Nizar diisytihar menang dengan majoriti 2,789 undi.

Sementara calon KeADILan, S Manikumar menang dengan 12,632 undi, BN 10,229. Majoriti 2,403 undi.

Keputusan dua bukit yang sangat menggetirkan ini membawa satu lagio dimensi nbaru kepada politik tanahair tatkala kononnya Umno mahu melakukan ‘reform’ selepas metabalkan Dato’Seri Najib Tun Razak selaku Presiden baru mereka.

Walaupun pada awalnya ramai penganalisis politik menjangkakan Najib memberi suntikan baru kepada dunia politik Umno/Bn, malangnya keputusan dua bukit sama sekali menafikan perihal analisa awal itu.

PAS dan KeADILan menang dalam suasana Harakah dan Suara Keadilan digantung penerbitannya di awal kempen, ditamnbah lagi dengan larangan kempen membicarakan isu Altantuya Shaariibu dan kontroversi keputusan Sultan Perak.

Namun menarik untuk diperkatakan tentang satu teori yang dikemukakan oleh pensyarah UKM, Dr Kamaruzzaman Yusof dalam rancangan Analisis Awani sebentar tadi mengenai kehadiran Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad berkempen bagi pihak Umno/BN.

Mudah sahaja, kata Kamaruzzaman kehadiran Tun Mahathirdi Bukit Gantang membawa impak negatif kepada Umno/BN yang pada awalnya memperlihatkan peluang cerah untuk menang.

Situasi sangat berbeza pada pilihan raya umum Mac lalu apabila kehadiuran kritikan dari Tun Mahathir amat memberi kesan kepada pola pengundian.

Namun di Bukit Gantang, kehadiran semula Tun Mahathir nyata tidak membantu Umno/Bn meraih sokongan mengembalikan status Bukit Gantang sebagai kubu kuat BN satu masa lalu.

Tun Mahathir sangat diketahui perihal politiknya mutakhir ini masuk semula ke dalam Umno apabila Najib menjadi Presiden dan Abdullah Ahmad Badawiu berundur dari PM.

Mahathir adalan antara individu paling lantang mengecam kepimpinan Abdullah dengan pelbagai istilah diberikan kepada bekas PM itu antaranya ‘penidur’; ‘kerajaan tiga beranak’; dan kerajaan yang ada ‘penasihat tingkat empat’.

Usaha menjatuhkan Abdullah antaranya didukung kuat Mahathir yang hari ini nyata menampakkan sokongan padu kepada Najib sebaik sahaja anak didiknya itu jadi Presiden Umno dan PM.

Licik sungguh permainan Mahathir dan Najib, hingga Abdullah yang mempunyai penasihat bijak di ‘tingkat empat’ Putrajaya pun tidak terhidu akan sudahnya begini.

Abdullah jatuh dalam keadaan yang paling menyedihkan, diherdik kawan (Umno) dan dicaci lawan selain pada zamannya juga berlaku krisis ekonomi yang amat dahsyat.

Najib mengambil alih dengan ‘senyuman’ sinis yang pastinya ada ‘udang sebalik batu’ dengan pembebasan 13 tahanan ISA dan penarikan semula larangan terbitan akhbar Harakah dan Suara Keadilan.

Seperti kata Ketua Penerangan PAS, Mahfuz Omar pelantikan Najib selaku PM hanyalah lantikan atas dasar kemelut yang berlaku dalam Umno.

Sebaliknya dihati rakyat Najib bukanlah pilihan yang ditunggu kerana imej negatif membayangi pelantikan PM keenam itu yang bakal mentadbir dengan nasihat ‘first lady’ (Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor) yang mencetus kontroversi.

Najib menjadi PM selepas Umno/BN berhadapan dengan kemelut kecemasan setelah kalah besar dalam pilihan raya umum ke-12; pilihan raya kecil Kuala Terengganu dan Permatang Pauh.

Justeru kelihatan Najib amat khuatir BN di bawah kepimpinannya sukar mendapat kepercayaan baru rakyat bahawa beliau akan mampu mebawa perubahan dengan slogan �One Malaysia�nya.

Langkah popular Najib hanya dilihat sebagai langkah terdesak didalam usaha untuk mendapat kepercayaan rakyat dengan mengumumkan tiga perkara ini didalam ucapan rasminya yang pertama yang disiarkan melalui media perdana.

Namun, keikhlasan Najib untuk menyuburkan demokrasi di Malaysia masih disangsikan oleh ramai pihak.

Najib bukan orang baru didalam politik, beliau telah berada dalam kepimpinan Umno/BN sejak lebih dari 30 tahun yang lalu.

Pemikiran, gaya, cara, budaya dan hidup Najib telah digelumangi dengan cara dan etika Umno/BN, akta zalim ISA sebenarnya tetap akan terus menjadi snjata utama jika beliau terdesak nanti.

Pembebasan Harakah dan Suara Keadilan ketika kempen pilihan raya kecil masuk fasa akhir hanya helah besar Najib, sedangkan pada awalnya sekatan adalah untuk menafikan hak kempen dua akhbar ini.

Nah hari ini segala strategi memulihkan imej Najib melalui tiga pilihan raya kecil nyata tidak mendatangkan kesan, dan dariu awal lagi ada benarnya penafian Timbalan Presiden Umno, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin bahawa PRK ini bukan referendum rakyat menolak Najib.

Pastinya Muhyiddin dapat merasakan rakyat akan menolak BN di dua bukit, dan akhirnya terpaksa membujat kenyataan bahawa keputusan PRK bukan referendum rakyat.

Jalan politik Najib pastinya berliku, kekalahan di dua kerusi disemenanjung bakal menjadi buah tangan Pakatan Rakyat untuk lebih kerap menyerang Najib atas kegagalan pertama pilihan raya ketika Umno di bawah jagaannya.

Biarpun ramai yang memilih untuk tidak menyatakan ia referendum rakyat tetapi peristiwa dua bukit pada 7 April 2009 pastinya titik gelap permulaan karier Najib selaku Presiden Umno.

Jika benar Najib berani dalam menghadapi kegetiran politik, pastinya cabaran yang dibuat Mahfuz agar adakan pilihan raya kecil negeri Perak jika Nizar menang prk Bukit Gantang, pastinya disahut kelak.

Namun apakah hayat politik Najib lebih singkat berbanding Abdullah, masa akan menentukannya. _

Keputusan Pas pertahankan kerusi Bukit Gantang

07/04/2009 9:50pm

TAIPING 7 April – Keputusan rasmi pilihan raya kecil Bukit Gantang calon Pas mempertahankan kerusinya dengan majoriti 2789 undi.

Kiraan undi rasmi: BN 19,071 undi, Pas 21,860 undi manakala bebas 62 undi.

– Utusan

Dari Bukit Gantang

Keputusan Tidak Rasmi Mula Diketahui

[kemaskini] BUKIT SELAMBAU: Perkiraaan penjumlahan undi yang dilakukan setakat ini PKR telah mendahului UBN sebanyak 2,000 undi! Menurut laporan Setiausaha Umno Bahagian Pokok Sena, Ramli Mohd Yunus yang beliau perolehi dari laporan SB UBN kalah. Katanya banyak peti undi yang sudah diketahui PKR mengatasi UBN.

Keadaan di Bukit Selambau ketika ini juga dilaporkan hujan dan jalan spenuh sesak.

KIRA-KIRA dua jam lalu kesemua 36 pusat mengundi pilihan raya kecil P 59 Bukit Gantang telah pun ditutup. Para penyokong kedua parti yang bertanding telah mula beredar untuk meninggalkan Bukit Gantang menuju ke destinasi masing-masing. Dalam kepala masing-masing juga tertanya-tanya dan ternanti-nanti maklumat mengenai perkembangan hasil pilihan raya itu.

Seperti mana diumumkan peratus keluar mengundi meningkat sebanyak 3%. Peratus mengundi kali ini sebanyak 75.1% berbanding dengan peratus keluar mengundi pada pilihan raya umum lalu sebanyak 72.65%.

Peratus ini menyebabkan kedua pihak merasakan tidak begitu selesa dan bolehlah dianggap pilihan raya ini dalam keadaan sama berat dan sama ringan.

Saya telah menerima result sepnuhnya dikesemua daerah mengundi dari seorang penjenguk budiman blog ini. Keputuan itu dicatat berdasarkan pengundian pukul 2:30 petang tadi di mana peratus mengundi ketika 49.32%.

Sekiranya result ataupun keputusan itu tidak khilaf dan boleh diyakini pilihan raya Bukit Gantang seperti mana diramalkan berpihak kepada Pas. Pun begitu ia bergantung kepada aliran pengundian kira-kira 25.78% yang belum memangkah ketika itu.

Berdasarkan kepada keputusan itu juga menjelaskan bahawa pengundi Cina telah memihak kepada Pas. Boleh dikatakan semua daerah mengundi yang dimonopoli pengundi Cina dan pengundi Melayu di bawah 60% dimenangi oleh Pas.

Bagaimana pun seperti juga diramalkan pengundi Melayu masih bersama UBN. Mana-mana daerah mengundi yang dominasi Melayu 75% ke atas ianya dimenangi oleh UBN. Yang tidak mencemaskan Pas kekalahan Pas di kawasan Melayu tidak begitu besar.

Hanya beberapa buah daerah saja yang didominasi Melayu dimenangi oleh Pas.

Sementara itu ada beberapa keputusan awal telah diterima setakat ini; Kuala Sepatang Pas mengatasi UBN dengan majoriti lebih 1,500, di Sungai Rotan dan Kampung Cheh juga Pas menang tetapi dengan majoriti kurang 10 undi.

Manakala dari 12,036 undi yang telah dikira Pas telah mendahului UBN sebanyak 2,624 undi.
Jika trend ini berkekalan Bukit Gantang bakal dimiliki Pas dengan majoriti agak selesa. [btk. gantang 7:00 pm 07/04/09]

It is not clear what caused the commotion.” (Malaysiakini)4.21 pm In Bukit Selambau, at the SM Sains Sultan Mohd Jiwa, out of 2,494 voters, 1,560 of them checked in at the PKR booth.

4.00 pm Bt Gantang – Low voter turnout continues to worry Pakatan here. “Many young people couldn’t come back and vote because it is a working day. It should have been a weekend. The EC cannot expect voters to be at its beck and call and get leave so easily. We must be more considerate and remember what sort of economic climate we are in – would the EC want to risk being retrenched?” Said Tian Chua, Keadilan information chief.

Bukit Selambau The EC has announced that the turnout of voters here stood at 61 percent as at 3pm. Kedah EC chief Zainal Abidin Zakaria believed a 70 percent turnout or more can be achieved by the time polling closes at 5pm.

Bt Selambau: Independent candidate M Vinsen is complaining of discrepancies in the ballot paper at the Institut Kemahiran Mara polling centre in respect to his name and his logo. He said that his name was placed next to someone else’s logo in the ballot paper. He also said that his name was misspelt in the ballot counting box which would be used for the counting process later. He lodged a police report in Sungai Petani over the matter and promised to take action against the Election Commission over the issue. The police detained two men aged 37 and 54 at Kampung Bukit Lembu this morning for stopping a bus carrying BN election workers. Elections watchdog Mafrel observers spot two more buses suspected to be ferrying phantom voters. One bus was seen at Taman Ria Jaya and another was heading towards Tasek Apong. The passengers claimed to be BN supporters from Alor Setar. Mafrel said photos were taken of the buses by the observers.

Batang Ai: With voting in some polling districts closed by now, the trend suggest an unexpectedly high voters turnout. In the three fairly sizable polling districts of Sebangki, Mepi and Batu Kaya, the turnout in the morning is very brisk and with two hours before closing, it had already exceeded 70 percent. Please note the lower turnout announced earlier for Batang Ai.. All of sudden there is this sudden jump.

2.45 pm Massive fraud by the Taib Mahmud government is expected to be carried out to influence the final outcome of Batang Ai election result. At Bt Gantang: Mafrel chair Syed Ibrahim was at Bkt Gantang doing some roaming observation. He noticed that the SPR is deploying their HQ officials in big polling centres over 3 voting streams-which he thought is new. Another new development is the use of cameras to scan people coming in and out of the SPR barongs. This may seems intimidating to voters and may violate one of the election rules. Need more checking on this issue.

2.30 pm Batang Ai: Ballot boxes from Rumah Intang Mengiling Nanga Patoh Agriculture Office, SK Nanga Delok and SK Nanga Kumpang arrive at Lubok Antu sports complex.

2.20 pm Bt Selambau – According to EC officials, some 40 percent of the 35,140 registered voters there have cast their ballots as of noon. “I think we are safe in Bt Selambau,” said Tian Chua, Keadilan’

when he went to cast his ballot at the SK Changkat Jering polling centre this morning

12.40 pm 7 Keadilan members were arrested for using Altantuya mask

12.37 pm One bus carrying phantom voters has been stopped by opposition supporters at Gurun, some 20 kilometres away from Sungai Petani. The bus was stopped by these supporters at about 10am and is now at the Gurun police station. The police as usual said they were not sure if the passengers were supporters or voters. The police are checking on their status now, using the electoral roll, and they will be found not guilty.

12.24 pm Our sources from foreign news agencies are telling us as of noon, only 40% of the 35,140 registered voters at Bt Selambau had cast their ballots. Massive fraud are taking place in this constituency and the EC is expected to announce a higher voter turn-out. Batang Ai: The ballot boxes from SK Ulu Engkari and Batang Ai Salcra multipurpose hall arrive at the counting centre at the Lubok Antu sports complex by helicopter. Voting has closed at five polling stations namely SK Ulu Engkari, SK Nanga Delok, SK Nanga Aup, Tadika Kemas Sempang and Batang Ai Salcra multipurpose hall.

12.16 pm Complaints against the Election Commission have started to emerge, with phantom voters sighted in Bt Gantang.

12.05 pm Bt Selambau –

A record voter turn-out is expected at Bt Selambau. This is strange indeed. Phantom Of The Opera play may be staged here by 5 pm. EC officials expect voter turnout to hit 50 percent by noon. At 11 am, it was 32 percent.

12 noon NGO’

s such as Sadia and Mafrel are looking into the Batang Ai bye-election to ensure the ballot boxes are not tampered with. Polling in some areas will be closed at 1 pm. The ballot boxes will be transported either by helicopters or boats. As we said earlier, the birds in Sarawak belong to Taib Mahmud, and it is risky to tie the result slips by the legs of the birds.

11.45 – Bukit Selambau – The rival supporters have been dispersed and separated. The Pas supporters outside the school outnumber the the BN group four to one. (This ratio is almost similar to the ratio of Pas flag-bearing vehicles on the road to the BN vehicles.

But the Pas side outside the school appears more calm while the boisterous BN side is singing, “Inilah Barisan kita“.

According to the Perak EC, the voter turnout as at 10 am was 17.77 percent in Bt Gantang, 21.92 percent in Bt Selambau and 32.41 percent in Batang Ai.

11.40am Bukit Gantang – The first report of alleged phantom voters has emerged. Blogger Haris Ibrahim reported that a bus was sighted at Bukit Lembu at 10.20am, carrying 29 occupants “who appear to be phantom voters”.He said that the bus was escorted by police cars all the way to the Gurun police station.

“The gate was closed but one PKR representative was allowed to go in. A small group gathered outside the police station,” he blogged.

11.42 am – Bukit Selambau – There are about 50 trained Mafrel observers going on duty to observe the 22 polling centres around Bkt Selambau area, making it the biggest group to cover the by-election other than the government side. 30 keep watch inside the polling centre/schools while the rest outside.

11.37 am – Bukit Gantang – Non-Malay voters are starting to come out to the polling centres, with rain forecast in Bt Gantang in the afternoon. As emotions begin to run high, police are increasing back-up forces in Taiping and Kuala Sepetang. Sources mentioned to Keadilan party members of the increasing presence of Light Strike Force and FRU units, but the overall situation is calm, even cheerful although emotional.

11.30 – Bkt Selambau – There are two pathways, for Pas and BN respectively, to the main school entrance. The Pas pondok is near hawker stalls, thus very little space for car-parking. Most voters were thus parking near the BN pathway and entering the school using the shortcut where the BN pondok is.

The Pas supporters thus came over to the BN “shortcut” to canvas voters and apparently, the BN supporters didn’t like the Pas voters coming over to “their side”.

11.10 – Kg Air Kuning, Bukit Selambau – Teargas has just been fired by FRU at the Air Kuning school about 200 metres away to welcome Haji Hadi Awang who came with black Toyota 2.7 VVT-1.

10.50 am Bt Gantang – Popular PAS candidate Nizar Jamaluddin was mobbed on his arrival at the Sek Keb Changkat Jering polling centre. Nizar will not be voting as he is not a constituent, but he will drop by at several centres to thank his supporters.

10.25 am Bt Gantang – the Election Commission has estimated a 20 per cent turnout as of 10 am.

10.11 am In Batang Ai, the pace is much less hectic as there are only 8,006 registered voters. The main battle there will be between Pakatan’s Jawah Gerang and BN’

s Malcolm Mussen. Because of the spread-out and undeveloped terrain, helicopters will be used to ferry in ballot boxes from some of the more remote centres.

10.00 am With both the main protagonists in Bt Selambau – Pakatan’s S Manikumar and BN’

s S Ganesan – having already cast their votes well before 9 am, attention has shifted to Bt Gantang. Everyone is waiting for PAS leader Nizar Jamaluddin to make an appearance. Meanwhile, at the Sek Keb Changkat Jering polling centre, hundreds of PAS and Umno supporters have intensified their verbal battle. But the situation is under control.

9.42 am Bt Gantang – A traffic snarl is building up at the main junction in Taiping, with police up and about monitoring the situation. More voters are coming out now and party workers have their hands full helping out. Rain has been forecast in the afternoon.

9.20 am Bt Gantang – BN’s Ismail Saffian expects to win by a majority of 1,000 to 3,000. “I leave it to the voters,”

he told reporters after casting his ballot.

9.00 am Bt Gantang – BN’

s Ismail Saffian is waiting to cast his vote, while an air of expectancy builds up for the arrival of popular PAS leader Nizar Jamaluddin, the Pakatan menteri besar whose administration was toppled by a plot orchestrated by Prime Minister Najib Razak in February.

8.55 am In Batang Ai, where there are only 8,006 registered voters, balloting is also underway in the many remote centres spread across the sprawling constituency. Officials there say it may be possible for results to be announced before 9 pm.

8.48 am Police personnel form barrier between BN and Pakatan supporters. Taiping police chief said light strike force personnel will be stationed at all centres to maintain crowd control. While noisy, all seems to be calm with no untoward incidents reported so far.

8.32 am In Bt Gantang, a crowd of hundreds is starting to build at the SK Dato Panglima Gantang voting centre, where BN candidate Ismail Saffian will be voting. BN and Pakatan supporters have begun cheering and jeering at each other, waving party flags in support of their candidates.

8.20 am Bt Selambau Keadilan candidate S Manikumar casts his vote at SMK Taman Ria Jaya. “I am confident of winning this seat, maybe with even a majority of more than 2,000,”

he said.

8.15 am Bt Selambau BN candidate S Ganesan casts his vote at SJKT Ladang Perbadanan. “Now it is up to the voters. Tonight I will sleep well. I leave it to the voters and God now,”

he told reporters after casting his vote.

8.00 am Nearly 100,000 eligible Malaysians will cast their votes today at Bukit Gantang in Perak, Bukit Selambau in Kedah and Batang Ai in Sarawak. So far weather is good at all three places.

Hari Penamaan Calon Bukit Gantang: Umno/BN sokong Israel?

Selepas di”taruk” oleh kerana mempamerkan “Star of David”, mereka pun mematahkan sisi bawah lambang tersebut.

(Lambat update kerana tidak mempunyai masa dan kemudahan internet sebelum ini).

Posting Asal

Kita seringkali didendangkan dengan slogan-slogan Anti Israel oleh kerajaan Malaysia yang dipimpin oleh Umno/BN. Malahan banyak kutipan wang telah dilakukan untuk mangsa-mangsa kekejaman Israel.

Di Bukit Gantang lain yang berlaku, lihat gambar dibawah:

Gambar diatas ialah rupa bentuk “Star of David” yang terdapat di bedera Israel. Lihat gambar bendera Israel dibawah:

Apakah maksudnya semua ini? Mengapakah Barisan Nasional mempamerkan ini semua? Apakah dalam sembunyi kerajaan Malaysia mempunyai hubungan yang akrab dengan Israel?
