Views from Leaders - Cut Lost and Dissolve DUN Perak !

by { JP }

With an expected twist drama in Perak where Pakatan MB YAB Mohd Nizar and his executive councillors vacated their office seven hours after taking office; hugged in and depressed out again !!

To put aside our point of preference and prejudice, lets us review some of the fact points commented by our "drama" politicians and observers:

(1) UMNO - Dr. Mohd Khir Toyo said, (in his blog at http://www.drkhir.com/2009/05/dilema-perak-sidang-dun-tergempar-atau.html)
9. Tempoh pilihan raya yang berlaku tidak sampai separuh penggal menyebabkan Tuanku Sultan enggan membubarkan DUN. Apatah lagi jika diadakan pilihan raya lagi pun, apakah politik akan stabil atau terus berkocak jika keadaan masih sama dengan mana-mana parti mendapat lebihan dua atau tiga kerusi.
10. Dengan kata lain, Baginda mungkin melihat satu lagi pilihan raya baru belum tentu menjanjikan kestabilan politik di Perak jika keputusannya lebih kurang sahaja.

(short translated by JP as, YM Sultan refused to dissolve the DUN due to its an extremely short period just after the 3.08 election; Dissolution of DUN and snap election in state (Perak) will not guarantee a stability of politic if results (new) showing the same situation where there is only 2 or 3 seat in majority) ..

(2) MCA - Dr Chua Soi Lek said, (in his blog at http://drchua9.blogspot.com/2009/05/perak-political-drama-takes-turn.html)
BN can choose to appeal to the High Court ruling and this may then drag on effectively rendering the Pakatan state government ineffective.

Personally, I feel that a fresh state election will be the best way to resolve this stalemate. Let the rakyat decides and once for all, we resolve this problem, which is not doing anybody any good.

(3) PGRM - Dr. Hsu Dar Ren stated, (in his blog at http://hsudarren.wordpress.com/2009/05/12/press-statements-on-perak/)
1. As a Central Committee member of Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia, I strongly urge the Barisan Nasional as well as the Pakatan leadership to come together for an understanding to jointly seek the permission of the ruler to dissolve the Perak State Assembly and seek a fresh State Election, which in my view is the only sensible solution to the problem.

2. Enough farce has been played and enough damage has been done to the nation. In the interest of the people of Perak in specific and Malaysia in general, it is no longer a matter of who is right and who is wrong. The decision of who should form the rightful government should no longer be decided in courts , but rather it should be decided by the people of Perak themselves, going by the very basic principle of democracy.

3. I humbly appeal to both sides to go back to democratic principles and let common sense prevail rather than trying to hold on to power and lose the support of the people.

(4) PAS - Haji Husam bin Haji Musa urged, (in his blog at http://cetusan-hati.blogspot.com/2009/05/peluang-sultan-perak-muncul-terhormat.html)
Keputusan apa pun oleh Mahkamah Tinggi memang boleh dirayu. Tetapi, jika bagi orang awam biasa sekalipun boleh mengerti bahawa pemecatan Nizar adalah tidak sah, dan itu telah pun diputuskan oleh Mahkamah Tinggi, Najib sepatutnya tidak lagi menggunakan saluran undang-undang untuk menyelesaikan krisis Perak yang beliau sendiri mulakan.

Keberanian menerima realiti dan keberanian menyelesaikan kemelut ini mengikut saluran politik adalah segala-galanya. Jika rayuan itu nanti masih memihak kepada Nizar, Najib dan UMNO akan menanggung malu yang lebih besar. Jika keputusan itu atas apa sebab pun memihak kepada BN, rasa euphoria rakyat atas bebasnya kehakiman negara ini kembali menjadi negatif.

Jika Najib berani bertindak bersama PR untuk memujuk Sultan Perak memperkenankan pembubaran DUN, BN mendapat dua markah. Markah atas bebasnya kehakiman di bawah pentadbiran Najib dan point yang kedua, kerana berani mencari jalan penyelesaian kepada krisis atas prinsip kembalikan kuasa penentuan kepada rakyat.
.....

Peluang institusi Diraja Perak keluar dari kemelut ini dengan tahap imej yang lebih tinggi adalah terbuka luas. Bubarkan saja DUN Perak dan biarkan rakyat memutuskan penghakiman mereka.
Bagi PAS dan PR, bukan bermakna pembubaran itu akan menguntungkan mereka. Rakyat Perak mungkin mengundi tidak seperti yang PR harapkan. Apa pun, pembubaran DUN tetap langkah terpuji yang membuktikan PAS dan PR adalah pemain demokrasi yang jujur dan pruden serta berani meletakkan rakyat di tempat teratas. Kuasa bukan segala-galanya tetapi prinsip-prinsip utama lebih didahulukan.
(translated in short, - by JP as BN have the rights to appeal the court rules but if the result goes in favour to them later, its sounded like the court might be bias. Worst still if the appeal rules that in favour to Mohd Nizar, again this should created more humiliating to BN !
the better way is to dissolve the DUN and if the YM Regent consent to dissolve it, then this should leave the Regent out of the politic-crash and earns them (the Regent) respects.)

(5) a well-known blogger - Uncle Bernard Khoo slammed the BN, (in his blog at http://zorro-zorro-unmasked.blogspot.com/2009/05/what-now-your-highness.html)
The BN chicanery had brought the Royal House into a compromised position.

People have vented their anger and are being charged for treason.

The people voiced it our clearly and loudly at Bukit Gantang.

The High Court was decisive.

and many more urging and urging ... #DISSOLVE the DUN Perak, please#
(except a small piece of big sum still stubborn with their points of view to hold)
cut lost .... cut lost ~
