The Malaysian Insider difahamkan bahawa perdana menteri akan
menjawab soalan dalam sesi sejam forum online dari 4 petang Sabtu,
sehari selepas beliau membentangkan cadangan Bajet 2013 di Parlimen.
Bajet adalah salah satu acara terakhir sebelum pilihan raya yang mesti dipanggil pada pertengahan 2013.
“Datuk Seri Najib mempunyai sesi Google Hangout pada 29 September, 4 petang menambahkan kepada usaha-usaha lain di ruang siber,” kata satu sumber kepada The Malaysian Insider.
Adalah difahamkan bahawa pasukan komunikasi beliau bekerja di butir-butir Google Hangout dan
kempen pengiklanan untuk mempromosikan acara itu, yang akan tertumpu
kepada usaha-usaha kerajaan untuk membangunkan negara menjadi sebuah
negara berpendapatan tinggi yang maju menjelang 2020.
Difahamkan juga Najib, yang juga menteri kewangan, akan menjawab soalan tentang cadangan Bajet 2013.
Google Hangout datang pada masa pihak berkuasa Malaysia membuat aduan rasmi kepada Google dan laman perkongsian video YouTube mengenai klip filem anti-Islam “Innocence of Muslim” dilihat sebagai mengecam Nabi Muhammad dan Islam, yang merupakan agama rasmi negara.
YouTube telah menyekat akses kepada klip video dari alamat
Protocol Internet (IP) Malaysia, akan tetapi perkhidmatan lain kekal.
Perkongsian video laman popular di Malaysia dan sebahagian besarnya
digunakan oleh ahli-ahli politik pembangkang yang mahu memintas stesen
televisyen bebas ke udara tempatan sama ada yang dikendalikan oleh
kerajaan atau oleh pemilik pro-kerajaan.
Musuh utama politik Najib, ketua pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar
Ibrahim, merupakan ahli politik pertama di negara ini untuk
menggendalikan sesi Google Hangout, yang membolehkan mesyuarat maya sehingga 10 orang atau disiarkan kepada berjuta-juta penonton dalam talian.
Anwar berjaya menarik beribu-ribu penonton apabila ia diadakan pada
17 Ogos, dua hari sebelum perayaan Aidilfitri apabila umat Islam
Malaysia pulang ke kampung halaman untuk meraikan akhir Ramadan.
Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Obama menjadi tuan rumah Google Hangout pada
Januari lepas sebagai sebahagian daripada kempen pemilihan semula.
Forum ini datang dalam bentuk sambungan video secara langsung dan soalan
video YouTube.
Najib, yang akan mendapatkan mandat sendiri dalam pemilihan akan
datang, adalah salah satu ahli politik paling popular dalam talian
melalui blognya www.1malaysia.com.my, dua akaun Facebook dan akaun microblogging Twitter.
Halaman Facebook utama beliau mempunyai 1,181,087 tanda suka
berbanding terhadap Anwar yang mempunyai 388,219 tanda suka dalam
sebuah negara yang mempunyai kira-kira 12.9 juta akaun Facebook.
Di Twitter, Najib mempunyai 883,418 pengikut manakala pemimpin de facto PKR itu mempunyai kira-kira 192,530 pengikut.
Akan tetapi Anwar lebih aktif di Twitter dengan tweet hampir
sembilan kali lebih daripada Najib. Kedua-duanya mempunyai juga pernah
menganjurkan tweet-up atau mesyuarat dengan pengikut mereka di Kuala
Lumpur dalam apa yang dilihat sebagai satu usaha untuk mendekati dan
melibatkan diri dengan orang-orang yang menjauhi media arus perdana.
Desakan kepada Putrajaya untuk liputan internet yang lebih besar
telah menyebabkan kadar penembusan jalur lebar bagi isi rumah meningkat
kepada 62.9 peratus pada suku pertama suku tahun ini daripada 62.3
peratus pada tahun 2011, kata Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia
Malaysia (SKMM) bulan lepas. Malaysia mempunyai kira-kira 6.69 juta isi
rumah pengguna jalur lebar.
Pakatan pembangkang PR sentiasa dilihat sebagai mempunyai kelebihan
di dalam ruang siber berbanding BN, akan tetapi dalam beberapa bulan
kebelakangan ini, kehadiran dalam talian gabungan pemerintah telah
berkembang beberapa portal berita pro-BN dan peningkatan bilangan
penyokong yang menyertai Twitter.
Walaupun kehadiran meningkat, kempen pro-BN dipanggil “Saya Pilih Malaysia”
telah menguasai gelombang udara dan ruang pengiklanan di stesen
televisyen negeri dan swasta serta akhbar-akhbar arus perdana yang
dikawal oleh Umno dan MCA. Kempen ini menampilkan petikan dari ketua
eksekutif syarikat dan blogger pro-kerajaan dan mensasarkan mereka yang
tidak mempunyai akses kepada ruang siber.

ReplyDeleteMalaysians have to show their great capacity in lending a hand to help the needy among society, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak Saturday night.
ReplyDeleteThe prime minister said that all Malaysians deserve to lead a better life.
ReplyDelete"They need shelter, a chance to move forward in life, to have access to quality education.
ReplyDelete"They want a chance to learn new skills so that they are able to cope with the new challenges that we will face," he said at Ti-Ritana Welfare Society 15th anniversary celebration here.
ReplyDeleteHowever, not everyone were able to find those needs as there were many less fortunate people who needed help.
ReplyDelete"Good deeds are done by people with a good heart and great wisdom. I would like to thank all charitable and welfare organisations in the country because they have contributed tremendously to help Malaysians who need help."
ReplyDeleteNajib said that all religions teach and promote peace and compassion towards citizens.
ReplyDelete"No matter what religion or faith you believe in, I always believe that there are universal values shared by all major religions that we have in this country.
ReplyDelete"Values such as honesty, sincerity, compassion, moderation, give and take are all universal values that, if we adopt those values, we will be able to shape a Malaysian society and nation that is truly not only united but be able to uphold the principles of social justice."
ReplyDeleteNajib said the challenges are enormous in a multicultural and multi-religion society like Malaysia but the government is able to develop the country well.
ReplyDelete"We have been able to show to the world that despite such challenges we are able to develop this nation in peace and harmony. This is what we call the Malaysian way," he said.
ReplyDeleteNajib said that many other countries want to learn from Malaysia and emulate the Malaysian way.
ReplyDelete"If other countries can appreciate what we have today, then Malaysians must celebrate and cherish the peace in our country," he said.
ReplyDeleteAt the event, Najib also announced RM1 million contribution from the Malaysian government for the four storey home for the underpriviledged project run by Ti-Ratana.
ReplyDeleteDatuk Seri Najib Tun Razak yesterday pointed out that the opposition pact comprising three different political parties are willing to pretend among themselves purely to topple the Barisan Nasional (BN) government in the general election.
ReplyDeleteHowever, the BN, unlike the opposition pact, never talked about wanting to topple any political party, said the Prime Minister.
ReplyDelete“That is their only objective, and this does not mean that they can be trusted to lead our country,” he said when addressing the people at a gathering at the Manjung Municipal Council Stadium in conjunction with his visit to south Perak.
ReplyDeleteNajib said members of the opposition pact were in reality at loggerheads with each other and that was why they dared not form a shadow cabinet, did not contest in the general election using a common symbol or present only a single election manifesto all this while.
ReplyDeleteOn the contrary, the BN was a united government party and acted as one voice in promoting the national development agenda, he said. Najib pointed out that the BN was a responsible government which carried out its responsibility to the people in the best manner possible.
ReplyDeleteHe said this was reflected in the tabling of the 2013 budget recently which aimed to bring prosperity and development to the country and people.
ReplyDeleteThe Prime Minister reminded the people not to be deceived by the sweet promises made by the opposition.
ReplyDeleteDrawing the people’s attention to the oratory skill of the opposition, Najib said: “However, the general election is not about oratory skill of the speakers. If we want to choose good orators, then we should choose the medicine sellers by the roadside who claim that their medicines can cure various ailments.”
ReplyDeleteHe also drew the attention of the people to the leader of an opposition party who left the party after realising that the agenda of the party’s struggle actually jeopardised the country.
ReplyDeleteDatuk Seri Najib Razak’s visit to three districts in Sabah over the weekend is poised to further strengthen the Barisan Nasional (BN) in the state ahead of the next general election.
ReplyDeleteA political analyst said the prime minister’s assertion in Penampang on Saturday that the federal government never seized Sabah’s rights has somewhat diluted the opposition’s trump card of playing up or harping on that issue to win the hearts and minds of the people.
ReplyDeleteIn what is seen as a plus point for the BN, Najib (picture) had aptly assured the local people during a walkabout in Kundasang town that the federal government had big plans for Sabah “if the BN is given the mandate once again”.
ReplyDeleteAs a prelude to this, Najib, the architect of the 1 Malaysia concept, announced on his visit to Kudat yesterday that he agreed in principle to build a coastal road linking Tuaran, Kota Marudu and Kudat as well as the setting up of a Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) centre in Kudat in the northern part of Sabah.
ReplyDeletePolitical analyst Salman Nurillah sees the prime minister’s visit to Sabah as a timely boost for the BN as it sought to reassert its dominance following the recent departure of several state BN leaders to the opposition camp.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Sabah BN might face a strong challenge from the opposition in the urban and suburban areas, he predicted that Sabah would remain a stronghold of the BN, helmed by Najib and, at the state level, by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman.
ReplyDeleteIn the previous election in 2008, Sabah BN almost made a clean sweep of all the 25 parliamentary and 60 state seats. The only seats that fell to the opposition, namely the DAP, were the Kota Kinabalu parliamentary and Sri Tanjung (Tawau) state seats.
ReplyDeleteSalman, a former civil servant with a law degree from Universiti Malaya and a Master’s degree from UiTM, said the big turnout for the prime minister’s programmes in Penampang, Kundasang and Kudat “where thousands of people were so eager to see him face to face and listen to his speech, actually sent a strong signal or message to the opposition, especially local parties like STAR and SAPP, that the people still have trust and confidence in the BN to deliver”.

ReplyDelete“While the local parties are trying to show that they are fighting for the rights of Sabah, the big plan for Sabah for the year 2013, with a huge allocation, was actually complementing the struggle and showing that our PM really cares for the welfare of the people of Sabah,” he said.
ReplyDeleteSalman said: “While I don’t deny that we are left behind in certain parts of physical development, the allocation of RM2.98 billion for 2013 shows that our PM means business as far as the further development of Sabah is concerned, particularly in the north of Sabah.”
He also cited several programmes or projects in the north that would eventually benefit the people of Sabah as a whole.
ReplyDeleteSalman said these included the 1 Malaysia People’s Housing Programme (PRIMA), a fish-rearing project by Ko-Nelayan which has identified 400 hectares of land in Kudat and was expected to produce 28,000 tonnes of fish with good prices in China and Hong Kong, and an agro-based project with 3,600 hectares of land for rubber estates in Bengkoka.
ReplyDeleteOther government programmes are standardising the prices of essential goods in Sabah with a RM386-million allocation in the 2013 budget, expansion of the 1 Malaysia Clinic concept for the people of Sabah and the 1 Malaysia People’s Aid (BR1M) to benefit nearly 500,000 middle- and low-income people.
ReplyDeleteConstruction of a new Community College and upgrading the Teaching College in Tuaran, improving water supply, which is one of the basic needs for Sabahans that still needs proper attention from the federal government, and improvement of water and electricity supply and housing for the people, he added.
ReplyDeleteSalman believed that these programmes or projects would help strengthen the people’s support towards the BN, thus spearheading the country to achieving developed nation status by the year 2020.
ReplyDelete“In fact, a senior citizen in Kundasang (as reported in newspapers) prayed and wished that our beloved prime minister will have a long life so that he would be able to lead us for many more years to come,” said Salman, adding that Najib’s 1 Malaysia concept of “People First, Performance Now” was bearing fruit and was well-liked by the people.
