Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat
Syukur alhamdulillah, setinggi-tinggi pujian ke hadrat Allah SWT yang telah mengurniakan kemenangan kepada calon PAS di DUN Sungai Limau Kedah kelmarin. Tahniah saya rakamkan kepada semua petugas, penyokong dan pengundi PAS yang ternyata telah menolak tawaran wang ringgit semata-mata untuk kekal istiqomah bersama-sama dengan PAS.

Kemenangan di hari pertama tahun hijrah 1435H diharapkan menjadi langkah kanan kita untuk terus melakar sejarah gemilang di pentas politik negara, Insya Allah.

NAJIB RAZAK, HE WHO SPEAKS WITH FORKED TONGUE.

“What the Prime Minister is telling the world is that while it is hunky-dory to make the glamorous pitch for moderation at international platforms, moderation takes a back seat to peace and harmony domestically.” ~ Tony Pua

WELL-DESERVED joy at PAS camp after staving off the Mahathirs' mighty assault

Having had to face the combined might of the Barisan Nasional both at state and federal levels, PAS said its victory yesterday in the Sungai Limau by-election was “very sweet”.

"They brought everyone and everything down here. Ducks and cows as well," said the party's deputy president Mohamad Sabu, in his trademark humour.

The popular veteran politician, popularly known as Mat Sabu was addressing a gathering at the PAS centre in Sungai Limau, last night.
PAS candidate Mohd Azam Abdul Samad defeated BN’s Dr Ahmad Sohaimi Lazim with a majority of 1,084 votes. Azam, 37, will be sworn in as the new Sungai Limau assemblyman at the Kedah legislative assembly on November 18.

Last May, the late Tan Sri Azizan Razak won the seat with a 2,774-vote majority in a four-cornered fight.

Although the results showed a decrease in support for PAS, its members rejoiced.

Party leaders were worried when the BN organised carnivals during the campaign period, offering cheap groceries for such items as sugar, rice and Milo.

A kilogramme of sugar, for instance, was sold at the BN carnivals for RM1, below the newly revised market price of RM2.84 per kg after the removal of sugar subsidy in the recent budget. A 5-kg bag of rice was sold at RM5.

In the PAS bastion of Bukit Besar, a 5-kg bag of rice was going for RM5 at a BN carnival.

Still, the carnivals failed to “buy votes” from Sungai Limau.

According to PAS, BN distributed some RM15 million in allocations during the campaign, including RM5.5 million to religious secondary schools, RM2.25 million to three Chinese schools, and RM1.2 million to 12 other schools.

The goodies did not stop there. The BN government also dished out RM1.18 million for Felda settlers' homes, as well as given out free spectacles.

In addition, RM1 million was set aside to repair houses, RM802,700 to the Bantuan Azam Tani Mara programme, RM2.5 million for artificial reefs and RM500,000 for fishing jetties.

PAS vice-president Datuk Mahfuz Omar, who is also the party’s Kedah state commissioner , described the victory as a gift for Maal Hijrah, the Muslim new year, which falls today.

Mahfuz admitted being worried of the by-election outcome, saying the party had to fight the combined might of the federal and state governments.

"It was a challenge to me as PAS commissioner for Kedah to lead this by-election.

"The BN said this is a moral loss for us because we had a lower majority - 1,084 instead of 2,774 in the May 5 election.

"If 1,000 outstation people can come back and voted, we will get almost same majority as the last election," he said noting that holding the by-election on a working day had cost the party votes," said Mahfuz.

FREE YOURSAY 'Mahathir may be out of circulation within the next two years. After that, expect Umno to make mince meat of Mukhriz.'

Can the son survive when Mahathir is no more?


Fernz: It's confirmed now that lacklustre Mukhriz Mahathir is a born loser. He lost the Umno Youth presidency, lost the Umno vice-presidency and now lost the Sg Limau state seat.

His father never had grassroots support either but managed to cling on to power by engineering no-contest resolutions in Umno. In 1987, Mahathir lost the Umno presidency but was saved by votes from 30 illegal branches.

The court should have discounted the illegal votes and handed the presidency to challenger Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah. Instead, the court declared the whole party unlawful. This allowed Mahathir to form Umno Baru and laugh all the way to the bank as he was returned unopposed.

Mahathir may be out of circulation within the next two years. After that, expect Umno to make mince meat of Mukhriz.

Sakmongkol AK47 agrees.

"The government takes it that the money appropriated by parliament as absolutely theirs, they can do as they like. Therefore stealing, skimming, falsifying prices, rent seeking, regulatory capture, manipulating tender awards are all permissible because, it’s their money not the rakyat’s money."

Sungai Limau by-election results: Is this the end of Mahathirism?


When Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad descended on Sungai Limau during the last hours of campaigning on November 3, one longtime PAS activist from Alor Star described it as a “relief”.

“Many people in Sungai Limau come from a religious education background,” said the activist, referring to the community of teachers, students and parents involved in the area’s clutch of private and public Islamic schools, which are nationally renowned.

“They still remember how Mahathir used to run down PAS and our Islamic state concept,” said the activist of the former prime minister’s endless tirades against PAS in the few years before he resigned in 2003.

PAS and its Islamist credentials were a regular target of Dr Mahathir’s biting criticism especially after the party gained control of the Terengganu government and made major inroads into Kedah in the 1999 general election.

So it was almost like poetic justice when Dr Mahathir came down to canvass votes for Barisan Nasional from the people he had once slighted.

But if Kedah’s famous son had any influence on the campaign, opined analysts and activists, it was to sway those who were still undecided on voting day itself.

“I don’t believe that his influence these days is as great as the media exaggerates,” says political scientist Professor Datuk Shamsul Amri Baharuddin of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.

“Maybe internationally, in places like Somalia, he is still well regarded but not so much locally anymore,” says Shamsul Amri.

Dr Mahathir’s continued influence was the subject of a blog post by DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang just a day before the polls.

In his November 3 post, the Gelang Patah MP speculated as to whether Sungai Limau would be the final blow to the man’s influence, with the headline, “Will Mahathir and Mahathirism suffer a third and probably final set-back...?”

“Religious school administrator Mohd Azam Abdul Samat, 47, of PAS polled 12,069 votes to emerge as the new Sungai Limau assemblyman yesterday.

Mohd Azam defeated former lecturer Dr Ahmad Sohaimi Lazim, 52, of Barisan Nasional (BN) by a majority of 1,084 votes.

Independent pollster Ibrahim Suffian of the Merdeka Center believes that Dr Mahathir’s influence would be the strongest among voters who are already BN supporters and impressionable youth.

“(His influence) would work for someone who had voted for BN in the past but who didn’t or is dissatisfied with the BN and is now confused over who to vote for.

“For this type of person, Dr Mahathir’s aura would still be powerful,” says Ibrahim, who in the past had done surveys on the influence of political personalities such as Dr Mahathir.

Ibrahim’s observations tallies with reports by Pakatan Rakyat activists who said Dr Mahathir mostly made visits to houses of former local PAS leaders.

“He visited PAS leaders who had recently been expelled by the party. We believe their intention was to cause confusion among PAS supporters,” said another Kedah-based PAS activist.

The thinking among PAS, said the activist, was for Dr Mahathir to confuse some PAS supporters into thinking those local leaders were now BN supporters.

“His presence could have had an effect. We don’t deny that,” said the activist.

But even Umno activists admit that Dr Mahathir’s influence is not what it used to be when the former premier routinely grabbed headlines years ago for his scathing attacks against his successor Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

“Maybe for the rank and file Umno members, he is a morale booster. But middle-ranking Umno leaders have gotten tired of his criticisms against the party,” says one Kedah Umno veteran.

Though Dr Mahathir’s venom may have been used up, said Shamsul Amri, the same cannot be said of Umno, or more specifically Kedah Umno under Mahathir’s son, Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir, who spearheaded the Sungai Limau campaign.

This is based on the fact that Umno managed to reduce the 2,774 vote majority obtained by PAS in Sungai Limau during the May 5 general election.

Sungai Limau, Shamsul Amri pointed out, is also a PAS bastion, which has been held by the Islamist party since 1995.

On May 5, Umno regained all the seats it lost to PAS in the 2008 general election. It also has a bigger majority in the state assembly compared to the previous Pakatan Rakyat administration, said Shamsul Amri.

“So while PAS and Pakatan could not do much during their previous rule of Kedah, BN Kedah can now call on all the funds from federal level to develop the state. And now Umno is making inroads into PAS strongholds.”

Just as how voters regard a certain personality may change over time, Shamsul Amri said, the same can be said of loyalties to once well-regarded political parties. – November 5, 2013.

Hot : Ini Sebab Sebenar Kenapa Subsidi Gula Di Mahsuhkan. - Baca, Faham Dan Sebarkan.~1. Tony Pua kata subsidi gula dimahsuhkan bukan sebab nak jaga kesihatan rakyat.

2.Itu propaganda nak tutup isu asal.

3. Isu sebenarnya ialah kerajaan salah buat keputusan. Salah tandatangan perjanjian di mana kerajaan import gula yang lebih mahal dari harga pasaran. Ayoyooo

4. Ismail Sabri sign perjanjian import gula selama 3 tahun dengan harga US$26 setiap 100lbs.

5. Sedangkan time Ismail Sabri kontrak perjanjian tersebut, harga gula di pasaran ketika itu ialah
US$23.42 setiap 100lbs.

6. Tony Pua menegaskan ketika perkara itu berlaku dia dah keluarkan satu statement media dan meminta penjelasan. Aku sebagai saksi kejadian memang mengaku ada baca berita tersebut. Kalau ada printscreen dia neh pun bagus gak nak tunjuk sebagai bukti.D

7. Disebabkan tindakan melulu oleh Ismail Sabri [dan dia masih lagi seorang menteri selepas buat kerja2 yang merugikan negara] kerajaan terpaksa menanggung kerugian sebanyak 64 juta setahun.

8. Ketika itu juga Tony Pua memberitahu pada kerajaan bahawa penganalisis meramalkan harga gula mentah dunia akan menurun. Namun sayang, Mukhriz Mahathir dan Ismail Sabri masing2 angkuh ketika itu. Mukhriz membalas kenyataan Tony Pua dengan menyebut bahawa maklumat yang dia dapati ialah harga gula dunia akan terus meningkat.

9. Ismail Sabri pula membalas kenyataan tersebut dengan bercakap '
'biar saya ingatkan kamu bahawa kerajaan adalah bijak' <-- Ini kalau sesiapa rajin tolonglaaa cari dan printscreen. Lepas neh kita sama2 sebarkan oke tak?

10. Namun sayangnya kata2 Mukhriz dan Ismail Sabri jauh meleset. Nak tahu kenapa?

11. Ini kerana menurut Tony Pua ;
Pua berkata sejak Januari 2012, harga gula antarabangsa telah menjunam sehingga serendah US$16.70 setiap 100lbs pada September 2013 dan itu bermakna kerajaan telah membeli gula 55.7% lebih tinggi daripada harga pasaran bulan lalu.

Itu la pasal.

Sudah la bodoh, sombong pula tue.

Orang bagi ko idea. Bagi ko cadangan. Bukan sebab orang nak tunjuk pandai ma. Sebab orang sayangkan negara neh. Cuba fikir sikit. Kalau dana kerajaan rugi sapa yang rugi? Rakyat juga. Pembangkang juga rakyat. Kalau negara neh rugi, musnah, mana kami nak lari? Kami mana ada aset juta2 macam BN. Sana sini. Dalam dan luar negara. Ini satu2nya negara kami. Itu pasal kami takmo 'dia' rugi.

Pemimpin2 BN neh bukan saja berlagak bahkan bodoh sombong tak tentu pasal.

Kata pembangkang suka bantah. Macam mana tak bantah, orang bagi idea pun ditolak mentah2. Last2 jadi la macam sekarang. Rakyat juga yang tanggung beban akibat keputusan2 bodoh yang dibuat oleh korang seme. Ini sapa nak tanggung neh? Korang ? Jangan harap la.

Another blow for Mukhriz as Sungai Limau rejects Barisan Nasional

LOL

Another blow for Mukhriz's daddy too from his own backyard! LMHOROTF

Before bi-election, Dr M promised Sungai Limau voters that he will make sure Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir does a good job for the people in the constituency, but only if they choose Barisan Nasional (BN) in the by-election tomorrow.....

Dr M also said an elected representative who was close to the BN state government would get more assistance not only from the state but also from the Federal Government. He urged voters to make the right decision by choosing the BN candidate.

We believe the ordinary Malaysian folks in Sg Limau sent a strong message -

A good Menteri Besar DOES NOT need his daddy to tell him to do a good job for the constituency. And they rather have an elected representative take less assistance from the State Govt and the Fed Govt THAN an elected representative who is that "close" to BN State Govt.

SINCERE OR NOT? : 'Absent' Najib consoles Mukhriz

Datuk Seri Najib Razak said he is proud of the effort and spirit shown by the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate and the BN election machinery in the Sungai Limau by-election although the BN failed to wrest the seat from PAS.

He said the hard work put in by the BN candidate Dr Ahmad Sohaimi Lazim and the party machinery succeeded in reducing the majority obtained by the opposing candidate.

Najib, who is also BN chairman, said he hoped the effort and spirit shown by the BN in the by-election would be continued and that nobody should be disheartened.

“I hope our fight will continue, do not give up. Our struggle is unfinished,” he said on his Twitter and Facebook sites tonight.

PAS retained the Sungai Limau state seat with a reduced majority of 1,084 votes in a by-election today. Its candidate, Mohd Azam Abd Samat,37, garnered 12,069 votes while Ahmad Sohaimi Lazim, 52, polled 10,985 votes.

In the 13th general election in May, the late Tan Sri Azizan Abdul Razak of PAS had retained the seat for the fifth term in a four-cornered fight with a 2,774-vote majority. — Bernama

BN gagal di Sungai Limau walau guna segala kekuatannya

Barisan Nasional (BN) gagal merampas kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Sungai Limau walaupun menggunakan segala jentera kerajaan negeri dan pusat, di samping wang dan tokoh-tokoh besarnya.

PAS berjaya memenangi kerusi itu dengan majoriti 1,084 undi apabila calonnya Mohd Azam Abdul Samad mengalahkan calon BN Dr Ahmad Sohaimi Lazim dalam pertandingan satu lawan satu.

Kegagalan BN untuk merampas kerusi ini juga menjadikan Menteri Besar Kedah Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir kalah buat kali kedua dalam masa tidak sampai sebulan.

Sebelum ini, Mukhriz yang memimpin jentera BN di Sungai Limau gagal dalam usahanya untuk merebut salah satu kerusi naib presiden Umno apabila beliau berada di tempat keempat di belakang Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussein.

Mukhriz memberikan tumpuan sepenuhnya dalam pilihan raya kecil ini dengan berkampung di Sungai Limau sepanjang kempen berjalan.

Beliau berada di mana-mana dalam kawasan pilihan raya untuk memastikan jentera Umno berjalan dengan baik.

Ayahnya, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, turut dibawanya untuk membantu kempen BN.

Selain gambar calon BN, gambar Mukhriz banyak digantung di sini.

Tidak sebagaimana pilihan raya kecil sebelum ini, gambar Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak tidak digantung oleh petugas BN di Sungai Limau.‎

Walaupun Mohd Azam menang, majoriti 1,084 undi adalah kurang berbanding majoriti 2,774 yang diperolehi oleh allahyarham Tan Sri Azizan Razak dalam pilihan raya umum lalu.

Kemenangan Mohd Azam, Penolong Pengetua Sekolah Menengah Agama An Nahdzah, Bukit Besar mengalahkan pensyarah Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), Ahmad Sohaimi merupakan satu keputusan yang manis bagi PAS di Kedah setelah hilang negeri jelapang padi itu dalam pilihan raya lalu.‎

Kemenangan ini juga manis buat Pesuruhjaya PAS Kedah yang baru, Datuk Mahfuz Omar, yang menggalas tanggungjawab itu selepas Azizan meninggal dunia.

Ia bakal menjadi bekalan penting untuk Mahfuz dalam pemilihan PAS dari 22 hingga 24 November ini apabila beliau dijangka akan mempertahankan jawatannya sebagai naib presiden.

Kekalahan calon BN juga bermakna program Karnival Rakyat yang banyak mendapat sambutan penduduk tempatan tidak berjaya diterjemahkan dalam bentuk undi untuk BN.

Ia hanya menghabiskan wang yang banyak kepada BN apabila barangan seperti gula, beras dan Milo dijual dengan harga yang murah.

Walaupun kerajaan telah menghentikan subsidi gula sebanyak 34 sen dengan alasan untuk mengelakkan penyakit kencing manis, gula dijual dengan harga murah di Sungai Limau.

Tindakan kerajaan menarik balik subsidi 34 sen gula telah menyebabkan harga gula naik melambung kepada RM2.84 sekilo, namun penduduk di sini mendapat gula dengan harga RM1 sahaja sekilo.

Sekampit beras 5 kilogram hanya dijual dengan harga RM5 sahaja oleh karnival anjuran BN di sini.

Namun, terbukti ia tidak berjaya membeli undi penduduk Sungai Limau, khasnya di kubu kuat PAS iaitu Bukit Besar, tempat berlangsungnya karnival tersebut.

C'mon lah! Govt enforcement officers, why need to abuse your power to victimize ordinary Malaysians anymore? We have enough stress already lah! You need to eat, we need to eat too.

Something is really wrong with some of our Govt servants???

Another blow for Mukhriz as Sungai Limau rejects Barisan Nasional


**** see this...For instance, even though the BN Federal Government had scrapped the 34 sen sugar subsidy at the national level supposedly to deal with rising diabetes cases, sugar was sold at RM1 per kilogram at its Sungai Limau carnivals.

In other parts of the country, sugar is sold at RM2.84 per kg.

And although a 5-kg bag of rice was sold at RM5 in these carnivals, which took place in the PAS bastion of Bukit Besar, it failed to “buy votes” in Sungai Limau. - November 4, 2013.

PAS’s victory in the Sungai Limau by-election was a second loss for Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir in less than a month.

Before he led the Barisan Nasional charge to unseat PAS from the latter’s bastion of Sungai Limau, Mukhriz had vied for one of three coverted Umno vice-president’s seat in the party polls.

Mukhriz, a former Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry, however, came in fourth behind Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussein.

In the Sungai Limau by-election, Mukhriz threw himself into the campaign from the start.

He stayed in the constituency of mostly padi farmers and fishermen throughout the campaign, sometimes even spending the night on the floor of villagers’ homes.

He personally took the reins of the Umno machinery and even roped in his father and much-loved son of Kedah, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, to help persuade voters to give BN a chance.

The Sungai Limau state seat has been with PAS in the past five elections.

If in previous by-elections a beaming portrait of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak would accompany the BN candidate’s own portrait, this time, that space was occupied by a smiling picture of Mukhriz.

PAS retained Sungai Limau even though its candidate Mohd Azam Abdul Samad polled a smaller majority compared with the outcome in the last general election.

Mohd Azam, a former assistant principal of SMK Agama An Nahdzah, Bukit Besar, won with a majority of 1,084 votes compared with the 2,774 votes garnered by the late Tan Sri Azizan Razak on May 5.

Mohd Azam’s victory over former Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris lecturer Dr Sohaimi Lazim was a sweet one for PAS after it had lost control of the state on May 5.

Even with a reduced majority, PAS succeeded in defending the seat from a spirited BN onslaught which had used agencies from the state and Federal Government in the campaign period.

The victory was especially sweet for newly-appointed PAS commissioner Datuk Mahfuz Omar, who took over the reins from the late Azizan.

It would be a feather in Mahfuz’s cap when he defends his vice-president’s post in the PAS party elections from November 22 to 24.

BN’s loss also meant that the huge crowds at its Karnival Rakyat programmes all over the constituency did not translate into votes for the coalition.

It only served to drain the BN’s campaign funds when groceries such as sugar, rice and Milo were sold at bargain prices at the carnivals.

For instance, even though the BN Federal Government had scrapped the 34 sen sugar subsidy at the national level supposedly to deal with rising diabetes cases, sugar was sold at RM1 per kilogram at its Sungai Limau carnivals.

In other parts of the country, sugar is sold at RM2.84 per kg.

And although a 5-kg bag of rice was sold at RM5 in these carnivals, which took place in the PAS bastion of Bukit Besar, it failed to “buy votes” in Sungai Limau. - November 4, 2013.
