SPR Jawab Kenyataan Hishammuddin Mengenai Anwar. Kelmarin dalam Akhbar
Utusan Pergerakan Pemuda UMNO membidas Penasihat PKR, Anwar Ibrahim sebagai
angkuh kerana yakin akan tetap menjadi wakil rakyat dengan meminta calon parti
itu yang memenangi PR umum ke-12 berundur bagi memberikan laluan kepadanya.
Ketuanya, Hishammuddin berkata, PKR belum tentu mampu memenangi satu kerusi
dalam PR umum akan datang, termasuk mempertahankan kawasan Parlimen Permatang
Pauh yang dikuasai parti itu.
Nampaknya kenyataan Hishammudin lari dari tajuk asal, kalau pelajar dibawah
jagaannya menjawab soalan lari tajuk asal tentunya markahnya jadi kosong.
begitulah markah kosong yang kita layak berikan kepada Menteri pelajaran yang
kurang terpelajar ini.
Hari ini kenyataan dari SPR dalam akhbar yang sama menyangkal 100% kenyataan
"menteri sotong" itu. Menurut jurucakap Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR), hasrat
yang diluahkan oleh bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri itu sebelum ini adalah
seperti diperuntukkan mengikut Fasal (1) Perkara 54 Perlembagaan
Persekutuan.Mengikut peruntukan itu, pilihan raya kecil boleh diadakan jika
berlaku kekosongan luar jangka iaitu kematian seseorang calon atau ada yang
meletakkan jawatan.Seperkara lagi, pilihan raya kecil perlu diadakan sebelum
dua tahun tempoh hayat Parlimen tamat, ujar jurucakap itu.
Hishammuddin dilihat memberi jawapan kepada kenyataan Anwar kelmarin. Anwar
dipetik berkata walaupun tidak dapat bertanding pada pilihan raya umum ke-12
yang dijangka diadakan sebelum April ini, beliau akan memastikan dirinya tetap
berpeluang menjadi wakil rakyat.Bekas TPM itu berkata, perkara tersebut bukan
sesuatu yang mustahil kerana pemilihannya boleh dibuat menerusi satu pilihan
raya kecil yang membabitkan kawasan milik PKR.''Kalau tidak dapat bertanding
pada Mac, saya bertanding Mei di kawasan mana yang kami menang. Dia (calon yang
menang) akan berundur dan memberi ruang untuk saya,"
Jelas sekali kenyataan Anwar bukan hentam kormo macam Hishammuddin dan
kenyataannya di atas adalah sesuai dengan peraturan SPR di mana kalau ada
seseorang wakil rakyat berundur satu pilihanraya kecil hendaklah diadakan. Buat
apa Hishammuddin buat kenyataan melebih-lebih sangat.
Saya melihat inilah satu cara UMNO hendak memburukkan pembangkang. Semua yang
kita cadangkan walaupun tidak menyalahi undang-undang semuanya salah. kalau
UMNO melanggar undang-undang tidak menjadi masalah dan betul juga. Inilah
antara istimewa dan jakunnya Malaysia yang kita cintai.
Kita nasihatkan rakan-rakan dalam UMNO supaya menilai sendiri siapakah pimpinan
mereka. Jelas pimpinan UMNO sering berfikir di luar dari kotak fikiran yang
waras dan rasional. Demi untuk menegakkan kuasa yang ada di tangan nampaknya
semua pimpinan UMNO macam itik yang kehausan dan cacing yang kepanasan.

Cakap Serupa Tak Bikin
Self-declared World-class Civil Service I nearly puke when I read the
headlines:
Najib is all praise for world-class civil service
This is what we call, Malaysia Boleh, Mudah Lupa, Mudah, sangat mudah.
There's no shame in self-praise. It's election time, and the massive votes from
the civil services are necessary to ensure Barisan Nasional wins with 2/3
majority.
World-class civil service? Does Najib knows what's world-class civil service?
Does he knows what's the evaluation criteria to be world-class? And does he
knows what's the key performance index of each criteria?
Take the JKR (PWD) as an example. Can all my JKR friends and engineers claim
that they are competent in project management, sufficiently understands the
full nine knowledge areas and the 5-process groupings interactions? Do the
engineers knows what is Critical Path Management and how to monitor and track
project schedule using the CPM? If they claim they know, then why are the
progress reports submitted using early-start and early-finish, and JKR had not
corrected them over the decades? Do the engineers know what is contract
administration and understands the rights and obligations of all the parties to
the contract including the roles and responsibilities of the consultants within
the contractual context? Do they know what are the duties and responsibilities
of the S.O. and S.O. representatives which is to supervise the Works (note,
it's capital letter which means it's not activities but the contract itself),
and that the S.O. representatives are to test and examine the
workmanship, materials and goods in accordance with Clause 2 and Clause 9 of
PWD203 Contract Form? Did they have the structural framework in a process-flow
format to test and examine the workmanship and certify the skills of the trade
workers, segregating them into skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled and then
draw up a monitoring and tracking system to ensure that only those certified
skilled workers are allowed to perform specific tasks, that there avails a
structured Quality Assurance Plan submitted by the contractor that provides
adequate confidence to the S.O. and which give adequate assurance that the
planned quality processes would deliver the specified outcome as per the
contract specification. Does the engineer understands what is Extension of Time
(EOT), that the duty of the contractor is only to serve notice of the events of
delay, and that it is the S.O.'s fiduciary duty and responsibility to analyze
those delay events, form his opinion (based on facts and
evidence) and then grant appropriate and timely EOT within the power of Clause
43, applying the appropriate sub-clauses (and not abusing his power ,in an
unreasonable way, by applying illusory sub-clause to avoid paying loss and
expense which tantamount to a breach of duty) to avoid time-at-large? Do they
understand variation orders and how Clause 5(d) comes into play when
instructions caused contractors to suffer loss and/or expense of which it could
not be contemplated at the time of tender and for which it would not be
reimbursed by a payment made under any other provision in the contract? Does
JKR engineer knows the implication of progress/interim payment delay by the
government of which Article 4 of PWD203 states that the Government covenants to
pay at the times and in the manners specified in the Conditions of Contract,
and do they know what's the meaning of "Covenant" in the legal sense.
Can JKR claim that they had 80% projects completed on time, within budget and
with the right quality, or 80% behind schedule, grossly overbudget because the
design was inadequate and did not anticipate so many things during design
stage, and upon completion there are massive defects and rectification works.
Add to the woes, we have government buildings that do not have a structured
maintainance framework. Apart from that, you can also observe their project
performance reporting system which contains huge amount of information that are
not informative. The only exception is Cawangan Jalan where Dr Wahid had
developed a somewhat effective progress reporting system but which lacks
continuous improvement.
We can also observe other departments such as DID, DBKL, State Council and
District Offices, to see our world-class snail-pace system with lots of
inefficiencies and inadequacies.
If I was to name a somewhat nearness to "world-class" government-related
institution, I would pick EPF as one of them. EPF have improved much since
Datuk Azlan Zainol took over the CEOship. He is a banker by profession and he
certainly have changed EPF to be more prudent in their investments, introducing
risk managements and crisis management, and upgrading the customer service
sectors. At EPF, you can get a copy of your latest statements from a machine
without the previous hassles of cuing up behind a long lines of people. You can
apply for withdrawal and get paid within a week. To me, that's efficiency and
improvements observed.
Do we have world-class civil service? uh! Long way to go... but we are Malaysia
Boleh; so it doesn't matter for so long as our ministers said so, therefore we
are.
