New birth of Pakatan Rakyat

All top leaders of the 3 major opposition parties - PKR, DAP and PAS - today announced that they have agreed to form a new coalition called Pakatan Rakyat or People’s Alliance.

At a joint press conference this morning, PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim said the leaders will now take the proposal back to their respective parties for approval.

Anwar, who was flanked by DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang and PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, said that the People’s Alliance will hold its maiden conference after the proposal has been endorsed by all three parties.

"Pakatan Rakyat pledges to uphold the rights and interests of all Malaysians as enshrined in the Constitution," said Anwar.

He said the governments of Kelantan, Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor would now be known as Pakatan Rakyat state governments.

"The policies of these governments will be conducted in accordance with the policies of Pakatan Rakyat," he said.

"We have developed and strengthened the structure of Pakatan Rakyat by creating under the leadership council - consisting of the leaders of the three parties - a joint secretariat consisting of three leaders from each party.

"This joint secretariat will be tasked with building the foundation and framework of the Pakatan Rakyat for ratification by the leadership council."

Anwar said that a convention of all Pakatan Rakyat representatives to Parliament and the state assemblies will be held on April 27.

PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang said the new Pakatan Rakyat coalition will open its arms to “colleagues” in the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition, in particular elected representatives from Umno, MCA, MIC and Gerakan.

He said that they can join the new BR coalition either as “individuals” or “en bloc”.

PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang was speaking at a massive gathering of 25,000 supporters in Shah Alam’s Stadium Melawati last night.

At the ‘thanksgiving’ rally last night organised by PAS, Hadi Awang also spelled out some of the key agenda of Barisan Rakyat, leaving out the party’s Islamic state platform.

Among them are:

  1. To amend or abolish all unjust and discriminatory laws, especially the Internal Security Act which allows detention without trial, Universities and University Colleges Act which restricts academic freedom, and the Official Secrets Act which makes government opaque.
  2. To implement immediate electoral reforms, in particular relating to the task and operations of the Election Commission.
  3. To ensure that the Anti-Corruption Agency be truly independent so that it can be effective in fighting graft and to stop any selective prosecution.
  4. To restore public faith in the judiciary and to ensure that it is truly independent.

Hadi sought to play down PAS’ Islamic state policy by arguing that this was not part of the party’s constitution.

“The media should be looking at the (PAS) administration of Kelantan and Terengganu which has been accepted by people of all faiths. They have accepted that we practise fairness and equality without leaving any group behind,” said Hadi.

Anwar stressed that the Islamic state issue has not been raised by PAS and that the coalition would only deliberate on issues explicitly raised by the three parties.

“Why harp on the issue and provoke them to respond? To be fair, should PAS still make (it) an issue, it is okay for us to repond. But as I see it, they have not made this an issue for years,” he said.

Lim Kit Siang said the emphasis is to focus on "common principles among the three parties".

“The message of the March 8 elections is very clear. The people want to see the three parties work together and bring about change... they want to see change in the area of justice, democracy and good governance,” he said.

When asked who would lead the coalition, Anwar said no one person or party would have a greater standing and that it was the rakyat who would be the dominant party.

PR to move away from BR!
So BR can no more demand from PR?
Politicians are Politicians not Rakyats!
No Reform of constitution to have independent Legislative, Executive and Monitoring,
Rakyats will be in the the "Dominant Party" in no where!
End of BR?

---------------
Individuals
are "frogs" referred in http://harismibrahim.wordpress.com/2008/03/23/frog-mps-a-letter-to-anwar/
After the GE of UNMO, with no Anti-hooping Act, PR could be a simple Majority Party!
Any Anti-hooping will be against PR iso of PKR!
So it will be PR not PKR to answer to PP!

en-blog
is any individual Party!
--------------------

Are Rakyats ready to have Anwar as PM?

I have long given up on promises made by Malaysian politicians.

I will take the lesser evil between Pakatan Rakyat and Barisan Nasional. In the current scenario, PR will likely not plunder this country more than UMNO/BN if they are given the chance.

Kem Mahathir+Najib+Badawi or Kem Anwar+LKS+Hadi?

Hope said...

At the very least, what they are trying to do or promising to do are for the benefit of the rakyat.

Maybe it is too early to tell and to judge them, but personally i think they are doing something good here..

April 1. This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other 364.

Kem Mahathir+Najib+UMNO or Anwar+Hadi+LKS?
Of cox the latter!

CK Tan,

En-bloc example: a group from a MIC or MCA division resigns and joins PKR, DAP or PAS as a division.

Sharing,

You seems very confused and complex.

Anak Merdeka,

It's a matter of providing the rakyat with an alternative party or group which would be able to match the might and influence of BN. That way, the rakyat had a better choice in the sense that BN and PR will both had to perform now that the electorate had 2 good choice.

Hopeful,

We don't have to judge PR; they had to prove to the rakyat that they deserve the support of the rakyat.

Moo_t,
Maybe April 1 is an auspicious day.

CK Tan,

It doesn't matter what kem; we need 2 strong political institution who are both strong enough to challenge each other and the rakyat is the decider.

Pakatan Rakyat or People’s Alliance

That is the Best Pragmatic Way to go forward, charting uncharted success ahead of time.

No more Race Based Politics etc, no more Baboons, Monkeys, and Wid Boars in Parliament.

With May 1, 2008 only days to come we shall see many BN Members of Parliament will abandon sinking BN onboard Pakatan Rakyat.

Berlin Wall collapsed, so with BN... time will prevail, we shall wait, see, and smile with laughter!

Aleckii said...

This is great news, no, this is an AMAZING news. I knew they could set aside their differences and come together to form a united front. BN has a lot to compete with now.

Actually, I read in Malaysia-today just a few days ago, a suggestion by Raja Petra Kamaruddin for the 3 parties to form a united coalition, and here they are doing exactly this. Which is a great thing. Meaning they find out what people want, and they act according to it. Unlike the present government who just plainly ignore people's wishes.

Way to go Barisan Rakyat!

yapchongyee said...

This is the best development ever since independance 50 years ago ! I will be more confident of going to KL to sue Dato Zainon binti Mohd. Ali of the Court of Appeal.

I will be able to quote the Policy that has just been made public by this PKR-DAP and PAS NEW PARTY. If thhis coalition is serious to clean the judiciary my wife's petition has all the issues that will make Dato Zainon binti Mohd. Ali accountable criminally. I just hope that the court files on my wife's petition is not destroyed like that of Miss Fernandez's did.

I will come after the Beijing Olympics. I will announce my arrival in KL to the media.

Will a shadow cabinet be formed now from the 82MPs of this Pakatan Rakyat?

cakap mesti bikin siap siap said...

http://anwaribrahimblog.com/2008/04/02/muafakat-berasaskan-kematangan-hak-rakyat-terjamin/

".....Muafakat tersebut berlandaskan agenda perubahan - negara hukum, keadilan - serta berteraskan prinsip Perlembagaan. Ini bermakna hak dan kebebasan rakyat terjamin dan kedudukan Islam sebagai agama Persekutuan, Bahasa Kebangsaan dan hak keistimewaan Melayu dan Bumiputera tetap dipertahankan......."


What happen to Anwar's gimmick of "multiracial", tidak mengira kaum, bangsa & ugama?

What is the difference btw UMNO and Pakatan Rakyat?

Will DAP be the MCA wannabe in PR

For the time being, I'm happy these 3 are officially an alliance.

Hope it works out. If not, the MSM are waiting to pounce on them.

Maverick SM said...

Ling Ling Chatt,

It's still too early to tell. Let's hope!

Aleckii,

It's a good beginning but we have to observe what is going to take place.

Yapchongyee,

You may have a better chance now. Keep going for justice.

CMBSS,

Ya, that's our new dilemma. It seems we can't get out of this race-based politics even with PR.

Helen,

Hope, hope and hope. We live on hope.

Dear Anak-anak melayu,

Sedarrlah wahai anak melayu, bangsa kita hampir musnah di telan ombak. Ombak yang dimaksudkan adalah orang CINA makan babi. Mereka secara diam-diam memusnahkan bangsa kita melalui perniagaan,maruah dan ekonomi.
Lihatlah apa yang terjadi sekarang, gaji salesgirl di shopping complex bangsa cina dan melayu sangat lah berbeza, supplier dimestikan orang cina, melayu di terminatenyer contract sertamerta, so macam mane kalau PAKATAN RAKYAT mahu buat open tender? sedangkan kita ade lah bangsa yang lemah didalam kancah perniagaan.
Lihatlah, si haflin ini menceburi bidang perniagaan tourism dan raw material seperti simen, kayu , rumput semuanya dimonopoli oleh orang cina, merekalah menetapkan harga barangan dan harga untuk orang melayu semestinya 20% lagi mahal dari bangsa cina. KESIAN MELAYU!!
After dapat kos binaan yang mahal, marketing juga dimonopoli oleh orang cina juga. Saya sebagai anak melayu berbangga dengan sikap haflin ini, waupun rintangan yang kuat oleh bangsa yang makan baabi ini, dia tetap harunginya dan kita harus menjadi contoh. Jika semua rakyat melayu berfikiran begini, Melayu takkan lenyap di dunia.
Mengenai isu, maruah pula, semua manuusia melakukan kesilapan dan after melaku kesilap manusia akan sedar dan selepas sedar manusia berubah, itu adalah perbuatan yang sangat murni disisi agama, cth:Umar Al-Khatab.
Sedarlah Melayu menagapa anda terlalu minat dengan gosip2 dan cerita tepi kain orang?? Sedarlah wahai bangsa ku!!Berubahlah demi anak2 kita masa hadapan.
Sedangkan obviously, anda tahu mereka sudah BARAI ditebuk TUPAI bergelar DON, apa yang hendak di bisingkan, dan anda pon sudah dengar yang DON suka tebuk lubang belakang, tidak semua wanita hendakkan lubang itu, dan kini yang masih lagi bertahan adalah wanita muslimah Hani.(aku rase) Lubang belakang akan menyebabkan zakar anda mengalami beberape penyakit dan nabi SWT sendiri tidak mengaku umatnya. Apayang telah terjadi sekarang, mengikut sumber yang tidak boleh dipercayai, Don kini ulang alik ke thailand untuk mengubati zakar nya yang semakin kendur dek dimasuki taik2 lubang belakang wanitanya. Sedar lah Bangsaku, janganlah dengar Gossip yang bodoh seperti ini dimana anda berasa minat untuk tahu sedangkan saya telah mention yang cerita ini dari sumber yang tidak boleh dipercayai. Kesian Don!!!
Alhamdulillah Haflin sedar begitu pantas dan terus maju kehadapan!! Syabas!! Tahniah juga pada Don yang cukup sedar dengan masalah yang dihadapi dan menagmbil tindakan yang bijak!!! Tahniah juga pada Hani wacha yang masih mempunyai dubur yang montok dilimpahi rezeki yang makin meluas. KESIMPULAN NYA KITA BANGSA MELAYU ADA LAH CINA SLAVES!!!!HAMBA PADA ORANG CINA DI ATAS TANAH MELAYU!!!!
Apa yang menyebabkan orang melayu jadi begini? lihatlah pengaruh orang cina dengan YAMMMM SENGGGGGGGGGG nyer!!!
Dadah yang dibawa masuk ke tanah melayu, semua nya melalui PENANG PORT!! KENAPA???
KERANA Penang port under penang state government di pelopori oleh orang CINA!!! Dahuluu under cina(Gerakan) di control UMNO(Parti Melayu), tapi sekarang under cina di control DAP(adalah parti dahulunya di ketuai oleh LEE KUAN YEW ) . Bagai mana nasib orang melayu di singapura????????????????????
Mahukah kita biarkan orang melayu di Penang jadi begini lah lebih teruk lagi???
Sekarang melayu di Peanang semakin ramai menceburi perniagaan GANJA dan KOKAIN!! TRUSTME THIS IS TRUE!!
Memang mudah dapat duit melalui perniagaan ini tapi yang menjual dan menghisap adalah bangsa KITA MELAYU, dan yang mengimport dan control harga dan barang adalah ORANG CINA!!!! melalui PENANG PORT!!!
Maka mudahlah melayu rosak dan diam di Penang kerana semua nye berkhayal, dan lupa apa yang di gerakkan BANGSA cina di negeri mereka!!!!
SWDARLAH MELAYU SEBELUM ANDA TERLUPA, UNDILAH PARTI MANA ANDA SUKA TETAPI MESTI LAH MELAYU (UMNO DAN PAS), PARTI DAP SANGAT LAH BERBAHAYA, PKR HANYALAH PARTI ORANG MELAYU KECEWA DAN TURUT APA SAHAJA DAP MAHU ASALKAN AKU(ANWAR) DAPAT JADI PERDANA MENTERI MALAYSIA KE- 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
