STP Propaganda 'memakan diri' UMNO Menjelang Pilihanraya
Ditulis oleh Ibnu Abdullah
BuletinOnline
Setiu, 24 Jan - PAS Terengganu menyifatkan tindakan UMNO menggunakan ahli
UMNO sebagai peserta Selamat Tinggal PAS(STP) akan memakan diri. Ini kerana
tindakan itu akan menyebabkan rakyat meengetahui pekung di dada UMNO yang
mendedahkan penipuan UMNO yang memperalatkan media arus perdana untuk meraih
keuntungan politik.
Dato Ustaz Hj Abu Bakar Chik selaku Timbalan Pesuruhjaya PAS
Terengganu berkata demikian ketika mana diminta mengulas berita di akhbar
tempatan yang menyebut 305 Ahli dan penyokong PAS di Dewan Undangan
Negeri(DUN)Jabi masuk UMNO.
Kita kenal siapa Mohamad Daud itu. Dia bukan ahli PAS, dan bukan penggerak
utama Pondok Nyamuk. Malah, masyarakat di Pondok Nyamuk cukup kenal dengan
sifat buruk luar biasa yang ada pada Mohamad Daud itu Jelas Dato Abu Bakar.

Begitu juga dengan seprang individu lagi, Abdul Manaf Idris yang digambarkan
baru menyertai UMNO. Sebenarnya dia (Abdul Manaf) adalah pengikut Abd Latif
Mohamad yang telah dipecat dari PAS,
Mereka ini sudah berkali-kali buat kenyataan masuk UMNO, dan kini dia buat
sekali lagi, nak masuk UMNO. Ini mainan politik murahan Idirs Jusoh dengan
pelacur media terang Dato Abu Bakar.
Kita tidak nampak sebab apa perlunya ahli PAS keluar parti, PAS berada
pada kedudukan yang cukup baik. Kita tidak ada masalah politiking dalam,
perebutan jawatan, tidak ada perebutan tender dan seribu satu macam penyakit
yang sedang melanda UMNO tambah beliau.
Lebih baik Idris jaga kedudukan sendiri. Selesaikan perbalahan dia dengan
enam ketua-ketua bahagian, selesaikan dulu dimana kerusi dia nak bertanding
Tegas Dato Abu Bakar.
Sementara itu, Pengerusi Penyelaras Pemuda DUN Jabi, Dr Azman Ibrahim turut
menyelar tindakan UMNO kerana mendaftarkan individu tertentu sebagai ahli UMNO.
Dari rekod yang kita ada, mereka sebenarnya bukan mendaftar sebagai ahli
UMNO, tapi mereka mengisi borang pohon bantuan, termasuk Bantuan Persekolahan,
Bantuan Wang Ehsan dan sebagainya. Tapi UMNO mengambil kesempatan diatas
kesusahan orang ramai, menangguk di air keruh. Mana-mana yang didapati
pemohon belum mengisi borang UMNO, maka merekalah menjadi mangsa,
dipergunakan. Jelas Dr. Azman
Risikan kita juga mendapat maklumat, selepas ini, akan ada lagi program
STP seperti ini, bagi mengaburi mata masyarakat. Ini hanya satu propaganda
UMNO, hendak menipu rakyat, seolah-olah PAS sudah tidak diterima lagi di sini.
Sedangkan PAS sedang high-time (kemuncak) didalam masyarakat Jabi sekarang.
ujar Dr Azman Lagi.
Dalam perkembangan yang sama Yang Dipertua PAS Kawasan Setiu, Ustaz Mohd
Pauzi Muda menyifatkan UMNO sekarang cuba mengalih pandangan orang ramai,
menutup pergolakan mereka dengan mengada-ngadakan cerita bagi cuba
menggambarkan mereka dalam keadaan yang baik. Walhal masyarakat di situ tahu
bahawa UMNO bergolak dengan cukup kuat.
Pada bulan September tahun lepas, 1000 ahli dan penyokong UMNO telah
berkumpul dan berdemonstrasi di pekan Jabi, menegaskan pendirian bahawa mereka
sudah meluat dan muak dengan wakil rakyat DUN Jabi sekarang. Itu bukti jelas
UMNO sedang bergolak menghadapi masalah dengan ahli-ahli dan penyokongnnya
sendiri terang Ustaz Mohd. Pauzi merujuk kepada laporan sebuah akhbar pada
akhir tahun lalu.
ROCKY'S BRU
Paper-Free Tuesday
NO TO THE LIES BY THE PAPERS. For a journalist who grew up in the so-called
mainstream media (which was never called that in those days, by the way), the
People's Parliament's initiative to boycott the MSM has put me in a tight spot.
You see, for over two decades my bylines appeared in the pre-1987 Star, the
Business Times, the NST, Malay Mail, Berita Harian. You can't get more
"mainstream" than that.
Now you want me to turn my back on my bros and sis?
But then I read the lies that some editors of this day stuff into their Sunday
columns and into the news that their papers publish. They condone plagiarism,
use the papers to shamelessly promote their own (or their friends, wives, or
friends' wives') business interests, and rewrite reporters' articles to
safeguard the personal interests of their political friends and masters.
Sure, there were editors during my time who compromisd on their journalism
ethics, too. But those who did never pretended that they were fighting for
greater Press freedom and never declared that the Press was free in the first
place. Zam, our Information Minister, for example, was a Dr Mahathir die-hard
and was more effective than any of Mahathir's ministers in pushing Pas into a
corner.
During the Reformasi period, the Umno-onwed papers, including in the NSTP, went
after Anwar Ibrahim. But in case you forgot or didn't know, Anwar had lived by
the sword. When he was in power and in Umno, he controlled the NSTP and put
many of his people in the other mainstream newspapers. He died by the sword.
Me, I was not one of Anwar's men and I was not one of Mahathir's, either. I
wasn't Ghafar's nor was I Musa's. And I am very glad that Abdullah Badawi (or
his 4th floor goons) was not so comfortable with my style - or so that was what
his so-called adviser at NST told me as soon as his "friend" had been made the
Prime Minister.
So my conscience is clear. As an MSM journalist, I didn't think too much about
who the political masters were. I wanted to break stories and get scoops (or at
least don't get scooped). As an MSM editor, I defended my journalists who
didn't give a damn who the political masters were supposed to be because all
they wanted to do was become good reporters. Together, we pushed the parameters
so that we'd get a little bit more freedom every day. Some of us "died" trying.
Today, I can count them with my fingers but the fact is there are still editors
and journalists out there who are still trying. I write this posting in the
hope that they understand why I am throwing my support behind the People's
Parliament's campaign to boycott the lies by people put there in their
newspapers to advance some politicians' life span.
This boycott as a timely effort to tell people that the lies by these editors
and journalists must not have their support. As I see it, this boycott is also
a tribute to those journalists and editors in there who are still trying, who
are still pushing the parameters to get a little bit more Press freedom.
So here's to a paper-free Tuesday, for a start.
Details will be announced at a:
