A former federal minister from Umno claimed today that cash was handed out in previous election campaigns in attempts to buy votes, a tactic known as “bomb”.

Tan Sri Datuk Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir said in a forum today that he had experienced himself how cash handouts ranging from RM200 to RM1,000 was used in Barisan Nasional’s election campaigns to gain voter support.

“I have been the head of delegation of many campaigns and I have been given lump sums of money to distribute,” said the former Information Minister at the Malaysia Strategic Outlook Conference 2012 here. “It was a blatant use of money to buy votes.”

Abdul Kadir (picture), who was also formerly the Minister of Culture, Arts and Tourism, said that the word used for the strategy was called “bomb”.

He added though that he personally didn’t use the money.

James Chin, who heads the School of Social Sciences at Monash University at Sunway, and who spoke at the forum after Abdul Kadir said that “bombing” was a very effective tool in Sabah and Sarawak.

During his presentation, Abdul Kadir said that while he still held positions in Umno, he wanted to remind them of the “Merdeka trust” — which meant giving the people the right to truly free and fair elections.

He also urged Umno not to fear losing if it was sincere in its intentions.

“If you lose accept it; people change governments all the time in US and Australia,” he said. “I am an Umno man, I don’t mind if I lose. If you are there just to make millions for yourself and your cronies or if I have made my billions and am afraid I will be arrested after I lose power, then I will do all these tricks.”

“If you are sincere, you have nothing to fear,” he added.

He said that to have free and fair elections, there must be equal access to the media and GLCs and government departments must be neutral.

“You must give them (the opposition) the freedom to have TV, radio and newspapers,” he said. “For 50 years, PAS has been asking for a newspaper licence but none given — the government is a big bully.”

He also said that during elections, Barisan Nasional should not be making use of the Ministry of Information, Felda, Felcra, the Special Branch and other federal agencies to support their campaign.

Abdul Kadir is also the deputy president of non-partisan pro-unity NGO Angkatan Amanah Merdeka (Amanah) and executive chairman of the Sazean group.

'Anwar sokong hukum Islam, bukan homoseksualiti'

PKR hari ini mempertahankan ketua umumnya Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim daripada dakwaan  bahawa beliau mahu menghalalkan homoseksualiti atau hubungan sejenis) di negara ini.

Sebaliknya, Pengerusi Biro Pemahaman dan Pemantapan Agama, PKR Ahmad Kassim berkata Anwar sebenarnya menggesa agar undang-undang yang bertentangan dengan Islam mengenai isu itu dikaji semula.“Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim tegas menyatakan bahawa beliau, PKR dan Pakatan Rakyat tidak menganjurkan, membenarkan ataupun menghalalkan homoseksualiti (hubungan sejenis).

“Walaubagaimanapun beliau berpendirian undang-undang lapuk yang tidak berlandaskan syarak serta menzalimi rakyat Malaysia wajar disemak.

“Undang-undang lapuk dan zalim malah boleh digunakan sewenang-wenangnya oleh kekuasaan untuk menghalalkan fitnah jelik ke atas sesiapapun,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan media hari ini.

Ahmad merujuk kepada wawancara BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) dengan BBC munggu lalu sehingga menyaksikan beliau dituduh menyokong homoseksual.

BBC meminta Anwar menyatakan pendirian sama ada beliau bersedia memperjuangkan 'idea anti-diskriminasi’ ke atas kumpulan itu.

Beliau menjawap: “Kami masyarakat Islam dan bukan Islam di Malaysia secara keseluruhannya percaya dan komited untuk menyokong kesucian perkahwinan antara lelaki dan wanita.“Tetapi kami tidak harus dilihat sebagai menyusahkan dan menganggap undang-undang lapuk sebagai relevan,” katanya dalam temu bual itu.

Berdasarkan kenyataan itu, Ahmad berkata, Anwar telah menyatakan komitmen menjunjung kesucian hubungan perkahwinan antara lelaki dan perempuan.

“Sekiranya diteliti jawapan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim itu, ternyata beliau tidak menyebut berhasrat mahu menghalalkan homoseksualiti di negara ini,” kata Ahmad yang juga adalah ahli parlimen Kuala Kedah.

Sehubungan itu, beliau juga meminta orang ramai untuk merujuk kenyataan sebenar Anwar dan tidak dipengaruhi dakyah jahat media Umno.

“Saya juga menyeru agar jangan sesiapapun bersekongkol subahat memintal fitnah ini kononnya atas nama perjuangan Islam. Perjuangan Islam tidak sama sekali membenarkan fitnah sedemikian,” akhirinya kenyataannya itu.

OVERSEAS reveal their body using swimsuits while BACK in MALAYSIA covered with robe(baju kurung) and tudung.................. 

Do you know these two young females? 

While studying overseas, these two females were seen in their swimsuits? - while revealing their bodies. 

These two ladies are the daughters of Azmin Ali, PKR Deputy President? 

While back home in Malaysia these two ladies are seen in their complete Malay dress (covered robe) and with their tudung. 

Are they just acting or have they repent - Alhamdulillah, reports Pro-UMNO blogger.

BUT IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE JUST OUT TO SMEAR THE DIGNITY OF DECENT PEOPLE LIKE THE ABOVE. 

WE NEED TO EVALUATE THE SITUATION TO CRITICIZE.

UMNO cuba menangguk di air keruh dalam isu pemecatan Hasan Ali. Kononnya, Hasan Ali tidak diberi ruang untuk mempertahankan diri. 

Dan kononnya UMNO mengikut lunas2 Islam dengan memberikan keadilan. Kononnya HAsan Ali dizalimi kerana beliau tidak dihadapkan di hadapan JK Disiplin PAS Pusat. Dakwaan yang sama dibuat oleh Hasan Ali tempohari.

Satu soalan  kepada UMNO adalah: 

"Sewaktu Anwar dipecat keahlian dari UMNO dulu, adakah Anwar dihadapkan di hadapan Biro Disiplin UMNO"?

Bezanya adalah Anwar menghadiri mesyuarat Majlis Tertinggi UMNO yang terakhir sebelum dipecat. Hasan Ali TIDAK HADIR walaupun dijemput berulang kali.

Keberanian Anwar menghadiri mesyuarat terakhir MT itu adalah kerana Anwar tahu kebenaran berada di sebelahnya.

Hasan Ali tidak mahu hadir kerana dia tahu dia tidak bisa untuk mempertahankan dirinya lantaran kebenaran tidak berada di pihaknya. Kebathilan berada di pihak Hasan Ali.

Jadi, janganlah UMNO cuba mendabik dada kononnya mereka adil dan saksama. Satu dunia melihat kezaliman mereka ke atas Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim, bekas TImbalan Presiden UMNO pada tahun 1997.

Hasan Ali telah diberi amaran berulang kali, telah di beri nasihat dan telah dipanggil mengadap berulang kali. Namun, beliau angkuh dan sombong.

Di atas keangkuhan dan kesombongan Hasan Ali, beliau telah dipecat.
