Christmas eve secret meeting: Why? - Goh Soon Sin

I am very disappointed to learn that on Christmas Eve PAS leaders, Nik Aziz and Hadi Awang had attended a secret meeting with two UMNO leaders, Najib Razak and Muhyiddin Yassin, without informing the other coalition partners in Pakatan Rakyat.

The reason offered that it was to comply with a royal command may be plausible but the PAS leadership’s subsequent evasiveness about giving a fuller explanation to fellow PKR and DAP leaders of circumstances leading to the meeting and what was discussed in it is causing much uneasiness, anxiety and suspicion. Many questions are now being asked.

• Was Nik Aziz aware that UMNO leaders were going to be at the meeting?
• Did Hadi persuade Nik Aziz to attend without telling him who else was coming?
• If so, why?
• Why was Hadi so interested in having Nik Aziz meet with Najib and Muhyiddin?
• If both Nik Aziz and Hadi knew it was going to be a meeting with UMNO leaders, why didn’t they inform their Pakatan partners beforehand?
• If they were ‘ambushed’ and didn’t know UMNO leaders would be in attendance, why didn’t they inform their Pakatan partners immediately after the meeting?
• What was the King’s role and participation in the meeting?
• Above all, what exactly was discussed and what transpired at the meeting?

PAS needs to tell all to its partners without delay. Otherwise, the suspicions that UMNO wants to create within Pakatan will have been created.

As usual, UMNO uses the “Malay unity” card to entice PAS. The same wornout card that UMNO had used to hoodwink the Malay heartland for the past 53 years to cling to power. Alas, the power they got from the Malays is not for the benefit of ordinary Malays but to prop up the kleptocracy that is plundering the nation.

UMNO is in a state of panic since more Malays are becoming enlightened and can see the charade of this “Malay unity” card. It is desperate enough to offer part of the loot to the PAS leadership in order to retain the support of the Malay heartland.

I have no worries that Nik Aziz would fall for such trickery. He is a man of principle and would dismiss such enticement summarily. What worries me is the other PAS leaders such as Hadi Awang, Nasaruddin Isa, Mustafa Ali whose major concern may be their ministerial pensions.

I sincerely hope that PAS leaders would reject any future overture from UMNO. The only hope for Malaysians to be rid of the kleptocracy is for Pakatan Rakyat to remain strong and united.

Perjumpaan PAS-UMNO: Apa yang telah dibincang? - Abas Azizan

Saya amat tertarik dengan berita perjumpaan antara pemimpin-pemimpin PAS, Nik Aziz dan Hadi Awang dengan pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO, Najib Razak dan Muhyiddin Yassin yang di pengerusikan oleh YDP Agung, Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin pada 24 Disember, 2010.

Walaupun Nik Aziz enggan mendedahkan intipati perbincangan tersebut, ini tidak dapat menyekat rakyat jelata dari membuat sebarang spekulasi mengenainya.

Saya rasa tidak mustahil perjumpaan tersebut bertujuan untuk menyakinkan Nik Aziz tentang penglibatan Anwar Ibrahim dengan kegiatan homoseksual. Kebanyakan pemimpin-pemimpin PAS dan ABIM barangkali telah yakin dengan salah laku Anwar dan hanya Nik Aziz seorang sahaja dalam barisan pimpinan PAS yang masih belum dapat menerima hakikat ini.

Pada perjumpaan tersebut ada kemungkinan Nik Aziz telah ditunjukkan bukti-bukti teknikal seperti video, gambar-gambar, rakaman suara dan SMS serta e-mel yang telah dipintas. Ini, sekiranya wujud, akan mengesahkan penglibatan Anwar dalam kegiatan homoseksual. Adalah munasabah bukti-bukti tersebut tidak dapat disebarkan kepada orang ramai kerana ia akan mengaibkan orang Islam di negara ini.

Perjumpaan tersebut digunakan untuk menyediakan minda Nik Aziz dan penyokong-penyokong Anwar di dalam PAS supaya dapat menerima hakikat bahawa memang Anwar terlibat dengan kegiatan homoseksual dan tuduhan-tuduhan yang dihadapi beliau di mahkamah bukanlah fitnah.

Nik Aziz telah diminta untuk memujuk Anwar supaya mengundurkan diri dari arena politik tanah air dan menerima tawaran suaka daripada kerajaan Turki. Ini adalah penyelesaian yang terbaik kepada semua pihak kerana jika bukti-bukti teknikal ini disebarkan, orang Melayu beragama Islam yang akan hilang air muka.

Ini hanyalah spekulasi saya berdasarkan maklumat-maklumat yang saya terima daripada kawan-kawan yang berada di barisan pimpinan PAS dan UMNO. Sesungguhnya hanya Allah SWT sahaja yang lebih mengetahui.

Wallahuallam.
