Takut kepada Allah swt memang wajib. Jangan takut kepada manusia bernama
Mahathir...

Mungkin Dr.M irihati kot... sebab masa dia nangis dulu ternyata ramai yang
tak simpati...

Dr M: We will bring the two States back
By Farush Khan
KUALA LUMPUR, Tues. - While accepting the people's democratic right to give
Pas the mandate to rule oil-rich Terengganu, in addition to Kelantan, Datuk
Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad expressed Barisan Nasional's determination to
recapture the two States in the next general election.
"Yes, we will bring them back," said the BN chairman at a packed Press
conference early this morning.
During the half-an-hour Press conference held at the Umno building beginning
about 3.15am, Terengganu was the reporters' favourite questions, considering
its shocking loss to Pas.
"We lost in Kelantan and Terengganu because Pas has instilled fear among the
people and promised paradise to those who vote for Pas."
According to Dr Mahathir, the BN had also found that some of those working
with the Government had also supported Pas both in Kelantan and Terengganu.
He said in several constituencies, the BN had discovered that some officers
at the counting centres had refused to do a recount and that could be in
favour of the Opposition.
"There could also be other reasons for our loss in Kelantan and Terengganu.
We will carry out a post-mortem," he said.
Pas won 28 of the 32 State seats. State Pas commissioner Abdul Hadi Awang
was today named its Menteri Besar, taking over Umno's Tan Sri Wan Mokhtar
Ahmad, who lost his seat in Cukai.
It also won seven of the eight parliamentary seats in the State. The
remaining seat in Kemaman was won by the Parti Keadilan Nasional.
Terengganu State Government receives between RM400 million and RM500 million
ringgit in annual royalties from Petronas.
In Kelantan, Pas won 41 of the 43 State seats with the remaining two, Galas
and Paloh, going to the BN. It also won 10 of the 14 parliamentary seats.
Three others went to Keadilan and one to the BN.
Among the BN heavyweights defeated in Kelantan were Second Finance Minister
Datuk Mustapa Mohamed and Rural Development Minister Datuk Annuar Musa.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Ibrahim Ali lost
too.
Asked on the possibility of BN's reconciliation with its political
opponents, Dr Mahathir said the BN was willing to work with the opposition
parties outside of politics.
However, he said, the BN was particularly concerned that the opposition
parties, especially Pas, would want to continue as BN's enemy until the next
election as they knew they would lose supporters if they got close to BN.
"They will keep their supporters away from us but we will not keep our
supporters away from them. They can listen to Pas if they like," he added.
On whether the BN's loss in Kelantan and Terengganu meant that the Barisan
Nasional had lost in the Malay heartland, he said the two States were not
the whole of the Malay heartland. "Look at Johor," he said.
On whether the victory of the president of Parti Keadilan Nasional Datuk
Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, who is also wife of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim,
in the Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat was a result of sympathy votes, Dr
Mahathir said: "I think there are a lot of sympathy votes when you and your
child cry. It tugs at the heartstrings."
He said while he realised that the people in Permatang Pauh was used to
their former MP (Anwar) and therefore was sympathetic to Azizah, he wondered
whether Azizah "could contribute anything at all".
Asked on what he thought the issues would be with Pas taking over as leader
of the Opposition, Dr Mahathir said Pas would do nothing except to curse the
Government.
On whether the full support by the Chinese to the Barisan Nasional indicated
their acknowledgement of the Government's contribution to the economy, he
said the Chinese appreciated what the Government had done for them in terms
of the economy.
