Perdana Menteri yang juga Presiden Umno mengatakan perkara ini kepada ahli-ahli Umno pada majlis Taklimat Presiden yang diadakan di Dewan Merdeka, petang ini sempena AGM kali ini.
"Datuk Seri Najib sudah mengatakan dengan jelas PRU13 bukan bulan depan. Beliau berkata 'oleh kerana ini majlis tertutup, saya boleh memberitahu (anda) pilihan raya bukan bulan Disember'... jadi, pasal pilihan raya, ini bayangan yang jelas, yang disampaikan oleh Datuk Seri Najib," kata seorang pemimpin parti kepada Sinar Harian Online.
Majlis Taklimat Presiden merupakan sesi tradisi menjelang AGM parti.
Pemimpin yang enggan namanya didedahkan menambah, Najib secara berseloroh ada menyebut bahawa "PRU13 akan diadakan tahun depan" sambil merujuk kepada tempoh sama ada antara Januari atau April, atau "dalam tempoh dua bulan selepas itu."
"Kita ada antara Januari dan April dan tambahan 60 hari lagi... itu kata Datuk Seri Najib," kata seorang lagi pemimpin bahagian merujuk kepada tempoh dua bulan yang diberikan kepada Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) untuk menentukan tarikh pilihan raya.
"Bukan bulan Disember, pastinya tahun depan," kata seorang seorang lagi pemimpin memetik Najib.
Mandat semasa Kerajaan Pusat akan berakhir 28 April depan. Parlimen akan terbubar secara automatik selepas itu jika Perdana Menteri tidak memutuskan untuk berbuat demikian sebelum tarikh tersebut.
Pilihan raya umum terdahulu telah diadakan pada 8 Mac 2008.
Sinar Harian Online juga difahamkan agensi-agensi kerajaan juga telah menarik balik arahan membekukan cuti hujung tahun ini, yang dikeluarkan sebelum. Maklumat terbaru diterima menunjukkan notis terbaru dikeluarkan meminta semua cuti dibekukan selepas minggu kedua bulan Februari.
Penganalisis dan pemerhati menjangkakan PRU13 akan diadakan awal Mac depan selepas sambutan Tahun Baru Cina.
Dalam temu bual terbaru dikeluarkan kelmarin, Najib berkata, "kalau bulan Disember tak ada 'election', tahun depanlah. Melainkan kita buat bulan Disember ini. Kalau hujan atau banjir, boleh naik sampan, naik bot."
Sebelum ini beberapa tarikh ramalan pilihan raya umum sudah pun tersasar.
Najib pada mulanya mencetuskan teka-teki apabila menyebut angka 11 begitu signifikan dalam hidupnya sehingga mengundang tafsiran PRU13 akan diadakan pada tanggal 11.11.11. Tarikh itu sudah jauh meninggalkan kita.
Ada pula yang menjangkakan Parlimen akan dibubarkan Jun tahun ini dengan mengambil kira musim cuti persekolahan, namun ramalan itu juga meleset.
Kemudian, timbul pula ura-ura kononnya pilihan raya akan diadakan sebelum Ramadan. Sekali lagi jangkaan itu silap.
Pengerusi SPR, Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof sebelum ini berkata, agensi itu sedia untuk melaksanakan pilihan raya pada bila-bila masa termasuk dalam keadaan cuaca yang buruk.
Bercakap dalam wawancara khas bersama Sinar Harian Online bulan lalu, Aziz berkata, SPR akan mencari tarikh “paling cantik dalam keadaan yang buruk” jika perlu berbuat demikian.
Lima negeri dikatakan bakal terjejas teruk apabila angin monsun timur laut melanda iaitu Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Perak, Johor termasuk Sabah dan Sarawak.
Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran memberi amaran kepada orang ramai, negara bakal berhadapan risiko banjir besar antara November hingga Mac tahun hadapan.
Negara tidak pernah menyaksikan pilihan raya umum pada bulan Disember. Hanya Pilihan Raya Umum 1999 diadakan 29 November.
Pilihan Raya Umum 1959 diadakan pada 19 Ogos, 1964 (25 April), 1969 (10 Mei), 1974 (24 Ogos), 1978 (8 Julai), 1982 (22 April), 1986 (3 Ogos), 1990 (20 dan 21 Oktober), 1995 (24 dan 25 April), 1999 (29 November), 2004 (21 Mac) dan 2008 (8 Mac).S/Harian

Najib sah PRU13 bukan bulan depan
About sabahdaily
Beliau berkata 'oleh kerana ini majlis tertutup, saya boleh memberitahu (anda) pilihan raya bukan bulan Disember'...
ReplyDeleteKata Majlis tertutup kenapa boleh bocor perbincangan? Ada pemimpin UMNO tak setia pada parti?
Takuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!
ReplyDeleteSemakin hampir PRU13, semakin kerap persoalan dilontarkan tentang keputusannya nanti
ReplyDeleteKalangan politik kini sedang sibuk membuat analisis dan ramalan masing-masing dengan Barisan Nasional dan pakatan pembangkang giat meningkatkan kempen mereka.
ReplyDeleteKumpulan terakhir jemaah Haji Malaysia akan tiba di tanah air selepas 11 Disembe. Terdapat kira-kira 30,000 rakyat Malaysia pergi ke Mekah untuk menunaikan haji pada tahun ini. Adalah satu tindakan yang tidak popular untuk mengadakan pilihan raya ketika mereka (jemaah haji) masih belum pulang ke tanah air.
ReplyDeleteJabatan Meteorologi Malaysia menjangkakan hujan pada musim monsun kali ini adalah lebih buruk daripada tahun lalu. Berdasarkan kejadian banjir yang berlaku di Thailand, pakar melaporkan taburan hujan yang diterima di Malaysia akan meningkat lebih 40% daripada musim monsun sedia ada. Adalah sukar untuk mengadakan pilihan raya ketika musim banjir kerana ia mungkin terpaksa ditangguhkan kerana banjir.
ReplyDeleteSPR memerlukan notis sekurang-kurangnya 60 hari untuk membuat persediaan dalam menghadapi pilihan raya umum sekiranya Parlimen dibubarkan dalam tempoh beberapa minggu.
ReplyDeletebelum tau lagi bila PRU akan diadakan, hnya Najib yang menentukan tarikhnya.
ReplyDeleteyang pasti PRU tak lama lagi, dan semua kena bersedia.
ReplyDeletePRU13 sah tahun depan la..
ReplyDeleteSiap sedia untuk PRU13 nanti
ReplyDeleteUmno delegates will walk into the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) with guns blazing as they lay out their final battle plan for the polls but they must be careful not to pull the trigger on each other, party members and analysts have warned.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThe analysts also cautioned that the Barisan Nasional (BN) lynchpin will be walking on very thin ice this time, having to strike a balance between working out the kinks within the party before the election while at the same time appearing strong and ready to face the ballot box test.
They pointed out that the country’s largest political party also has to stay ahead in the rush for the Malay vote, where PAS is fast gaining ground, while trying its best to recapture at least some of its lost appeal among the non-Malay crowd, which observers believe that Pakatan Rakyat (PR) already has in the bag.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteAdding to this already dicey situation is the vast difference between Umno and PR — while the latter has everything to prove, the former has everything to lose.
ReplyDelete“If you focus on one race alone, you will only be popular to that single race even though at where it (Umno) stands today, it is very important to get the support of all races.
ReplyDeleteUniversiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) political scientist Professor Dr Jayum Jawan agreed with Agus’ view, saying that apart from staying the bedrock of Malay politics, Umno also needs to set itself apart from PR by showing how inclusive it is to the other ethnic minorities.
“Umno does struggle for the rights of the Malays, that we all know because the Malays form the majority.
ReplyDelete“But the party needs to take the Chinese, the Indians, those in Sabah and Sarawak into greater consideration as well,” he said.
ReplyDelete“So this is important for the Umno leadership to win the hearts of the middle ground... because this middle ground will be the determining factor of the outcome in the next general election,” Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) political analyst Professor Datuk Dr Mohammad Agus Yusoff .

ReplyDeleteThe analyst said that by showing how much it can do for the other communities, Umno would widen its support base and strengthen the party further.

ReplyDeleteTo Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Razak, however, unity, moderation and loyalty to party could well be the very reinforcements that Umno will need to sail through these hurdles.
During his presidential briefing to key Umno delegates ahead of the general assembly two days ago, this message was sternly driven home.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteAccording to those at the briefing, Najib had stressed the need for party members to close ranks and stand united or be prepared to face defeat.
“He (Najib) reminded party members of things that could destroy us like internal sabotage.
ReplyDelete“He said that what is important is for us to offer our undivided support to whichever candidate is selected to represent us and he stressed that if we are not united, whomever this candidate is, he will surely lose,” Puteri Umno chief Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin told reporters after the briefing.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteBut this may not be so easy a task for the over 5,000 delegates as even with the party leadership’s repeated reminder to stand united and practice moderation, every member wants to be recognised as a leader.
ReplyDeleteMore significantly, many want to see their names on the final list of candidates, which some members have been pushing the party leadership for an early release.
But in a recent statement to the press, vice-president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said this would only result in sabotage in some areas still deemed as problematic by the party leadership.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThe leader’s admission to the existence of these problem areas, and the party’s decision to continue holding on to the list, speaks volumes on the state of matters within Umno.
A Perak leader told The Malaysian Insider that admittedly “a few constituencies” have continued to cause trouble for Umno, even though members have already sworn their allegiance to the party.
ReplyDelete“In the party, there are still elements of sabotage, as each continues to feel they have contributed to the party and they want to become candidates. And when they do not get to be candidates, they start to sabotage others,” Agus pointed out.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete“This is an old issue in the party and it has to be resolved carefully,” he added.
ReplyDeleteSome among the party have also openly voiced their demands for the candidate list to be revealed, including Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin.
There has been heavy speculation over Khairy’s candidacy in the coming polls. The Rembau MP was reported as saying last January that he will not defend his seat but earlier this month, he said he would be willing to do so if chosen by the prime minister.
ReplyDeletePerak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Zambry Abd Kadir, who is speculated as likely to be given a federal seat in the coming polls, was coy on the topic when approached on the sidelines of the presidential briefing.
ReplyDeleteHis was not the first such answer to similar questions. No one has dared in the past months to speculate on their candidacy, except probably behind close doors, and those who are asked are quick to kill the question.
ReplyDeleteBut many leaders approached said members are willing to bury their self-interests and are ready to accept whatever decision the party leadership makes.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteUmno deputy minister Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi reasoned that this was the reason why some members have been pushing for the party’s candidate list to be revealed early.
ReplyDeleteUmno supreme council member Datuk Abdul Azeez Rahim said Umno members have “woken up” and moved forward, ready to forge ahead to the battle lines.
“We are not going to focus on who are the candidates. We are not going to touch on that. That is the discretion of the prime minister and the president of the party. “So what we will do is to follow through with our promises and work towards a victory,” he said.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteLenggong MP Datuk Shamsul Anuar Nasarah said the prime minister’s message has been well-respected and accepted by all members.
He noted that Umno delegates were made to take the “sumpah bai’ah” (oath of allegiance) during last year’s annual meet and said that since then, members have grown more aware of the importance of staying loyal to the party regardless of who gets chosen to contest the polls.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete“Awareness has improved. Members know how important it is not to engage in internal sabotage and I believe this willingness will manifest in the coming polls. We will not train our guns on one another,” he said.
