Alasan, jawapan menolak debat - Saifuddin Abdullah

SAIFUDDIN ABDULLAH
5 Mac 2012
Debat politik baik untuk demokrasi. Ia peluang untuk mencetuskan idea yang bernas dan mempertahankannya dengan cerdas. Rakyat akan menilai.

Namun, terdapat mereka yang menolak debat. Tidak mengapa jika tidak ingin berdebat kerana itu pilihan masing-masing, tetapi usahlah menolaknya bulat-bulat.

Di sini, disenaraikan 10 alasan yang menolak debat dan jawapan terhadapnya.

Alasan 1: Tiada apa hendak didebatkan.
Jawapan 1: Takkanlah tokoh politik tidak punya idea. Banyak perlu didebatkan, contohnya dalam bidang politik apakah politik baru, transformasi politik, inovasi demokrasi dan pemikiran politik progresif untuk masa depan? Bidang-bidang lain juga ada isu yang wajar didebatkan.

Alasan 2: Tidak perlu debat, ucapan mencukupi.
Jawapan 2: Ramai boleh berucap. Adakalanya teks ucapan disediakan orang lain dan yang menyampaikannya tidak fahampun kandungannya. Kekurangan ucapan ialah idea itu tidak dapat diuji kebenaran dan kekuatannya. Sebaliknya, melalui debat, pendebat bukan sahaja perlu menyampaikannya, tetapi lebih penting lagi perlu mempertahankannya.

Young Malaysians push for Najib-Anwar debate

Merdeka Centre also found that live debates would help fence-sitters make up their minds.

PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak may have to concede to a live debate with Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim if he wants to capture the hearts of young voters, particularly the Malays.

A recent survey by Merdeka Centre found that 56% of 1,022 registered voters surveyed across Peninsular Malaysia supported the idea of live debates between the two leaders as a means to showcase their respective “ideas and policies to the nation”.

The survey, conducted last month, comprised 59% Malays, 32% Chinese and 9% Indians and was aimed at gauging their perceptions of current developments in the country.

A significant 67% of those in favour of live debates were below 30-years-old followed closely by the 31-40 and 41-50 age groups, both at 58%.

The survey findings also indicated that live debates would help fence-sitters make up their minds as 62% of voters are still undecided on where to cast their votes.

Angry Murut converts cry foul over land promise

Mass conversations to Islam in exchange for land titles were a norm in Sabah in 1979 but today many natives are crying foul at a government that has since cheated them.
 
TENOM: Murut natives who had converted to Islam in 1979, under the then Berjaya government-linked mass Islamisation programme which promised new ‘recruits’ individual land titles, are now claiming that the government had cheated them.

The converts were given land plots in Kpg Masanopi, Kembong and have been occupying this area since then. However they have now discovered that the land is not theirs and instead belongs to someone else.

A villager, Ariffin Abdullah, 70, whose original name is Arot Bin Ukab, said that the ‘planned’ village was created in 1979 during the rule of the Berjaya government as a new settlement for a group of Muruts who were willing to convert to Islam.

The converts then went on to develop and till the land providing for themselves by planting rubber trees, orchards and padi. Ariffin was their village head or Ketua Kampung.

NCR issue: Sarawak BN leaders are clueless

Barisan Nasional leaders should stop shooting their mouths off on NCR issues and instead study the court's judgments on its definition.

KUCHING: Are Sarawak Barisan Nasional leaders so naive that they dare to trivialize or consider as ‘old issues’ the native customary rights (NCR) which include land-grabs by the state government, the issuing of provisional leases and the illegal encroachment?

Well, it’s either naivety or over-confidence that led BN officials to recently warn the opposition here not to harp on the NCR issues in the coming general election as they did in last April state poll.

Slamming Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) official William Limong recently, state PKR chief Baru Bian said: “I leave it to the final judgment of the people.

“NCR land issues that are unresolved and continue to plague the people are not considered old issues.

“It is precisely because this is an aggravating and ongoing issue that Suhakam is currently conducting a public hearing for the national inquiry into the land rights of indigenous people.”

Disabled ‘punished’ for supporting PKR

A Sarawak State Assistant Minister allegedly showed his 'cruel' side when he instructed two government departments to revoke aid to a deformed man.

SRI AMAN: Fifty-one-year-old Frusis Lebi’s hands and feet are deformed. So it came as a double blow to him when he discovered last year that both his welfare allowance and his subsidies for fertilitiser and seedlings were revoked.

Lebi, who lives in Entulang longhouse in Sri Aman, is an opposition supporter who believes he has been victimised by Mong Dagang, the Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) Youth chief, who is also the State Assistant Minister of Agriculture (research and marketing)

Lebi’s biggest mistake is that he openly supported the opposition in the last state election and hoisted a PKR flag in front of his house.

A “heartless” Dagang had apparently instructed his officers to cancel Lebi’s subsidies and allegedly advised the Welfare Department to do the same. Both forms of aid stopped in October last year.

PKR pours more scorn on 1Care

There will be a forum in Kuching on Friday to discuss the Health Ministry’s plan. Physician-politician Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj is one of the featured speakers.

KUCHING: PKR today continued its tirade against the 1Care health plan, with the vice-chairman of its Sarawak chapter saying it was hatched in secret by Health Ministry officials and a select number of private doctors and pharmacists.

See Chee How, who is also the state assemblyman for Batu Lintang, said the government should have consulted a broad range of stakeholders in the health system.

He said it was unlikely that 1Care would improve the system considering that it had become prone to massive financial leakages since the 1980s, when the government began to privatise various health services.

“It beggars belief how 1Care is going to reform and improve the current public health system via further privatisation, a national health insurance scheme and ill-conceived basic care packages,” he said.

See’s office is organising a public forum on 1Care this Friday at the Grand Continental here. It will start at 7.30pm. Two physicians will be on the panel. One of them is Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj of Parti Socialis Malaysia. The other is Dr. Ng Swee Choon, an official of the Federation of Private Medical Practitioners’ Associations.

Admission is free.

SAMM dedah gambar gangster dengan pemimpin Umno

KUALA LUMPUR, 29 Feb: Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM) semalam mendedahkan gambar penglibatan pemimpin Umno dengan mereka yang terlibat dengan kejadian ganas dalam beberapa program kebelakangan ini.

SAMM mendedahkan, pelaku keganasan di Jalan Kebun, Klang mempunyai hubungan dengan Senator Ezam Mohd Nor manakala di Pulau Pinang pula mempunyai kaitan dengan Datuk Helmi Yahya.

(Gambar Senator Ezam Md Nor bersama dengan ketua penyerang jalan kebun yang konon sedang diburu polis.)

Ekoran itu, Pengarah Propaganda SAMM, Edy Noor Reduan mendakwa, Umno sedang membawa suasana politik negara ke satu suasana yang kurang sihat.

Ini kerana, Umno semakin lemah dan sedar mereka telah gagal untuk menggunakan otak bagi berhujah, dakwa SAMM.

(Gambar Datuk Helmi Yahya bersama dengan antara kumpulan penyerang yang menyerang Lim Guan Eng baru minggu lepas.)

Tindakan ini juga dibuat kerana malu dengan Najib yang tidak berani berdebat maka Umno menggunakan keganasan dan gangsterism mengganggu program pendidikan politik rakyat, tambahnya.

PKR: NFC bosses to open supermart in S'pore

Frustrated by the inaction of the authorities on the National Feedlot Centre scandal, PKR claimed today that Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil's family was in the midst of operating an upmarket supermarket in Singapore. The new venture may be funded with the RM250 million government soft loan given to NFC, the opposition party added. The supermarket operator, Singapore-registered Farmhouse Supermarkets Pte Ltd, is jointly owned by Mohd Salleh Ismail, second son Wan Shahinur Izran and youngest daughter Wan Izzana Fatimah Zabedah.

International response filters in, condemning Najib’s U-turn on Anwar acquittal

Maria Begum
International response is starting to filter in on news that Prime Minister Najib Razak’s government has decided to appeal the acquittal of political arch rival Anwar, the Opposition Leader, who was found “not guilty” by a High Court judge last week.


Phil Robertson, Deputy Director of the Asia Division, Human Rights Watch was among the early bird to condemn the Najib administration for its latest flip-flop.

“The trial court gave the government a chance to bow out gracefully from Anwar’s politically motivated prosecution. It’s very unfortunate that they didn’t take it. This decision means the citizens of Malaysia will be further subjected to the more political machinations in the courtroom as the government perpetuates this travesty of a trial for a crime that should not be a crime in the first place,” Phil said in a statement.

Appeal against sodomy verdict, What are we to think?

Terence Netto
Anwar’s sodomy acquittal a Pyrrhic victory

Those who claimed that Anwar Ibrahim’s acquittal by the High Court last week on a charge of sodomy was a game-changing move must have felt, after the Attorney-General’s Chambers filed a notice of appeal yesterday, rather like North Korea’s nuclear disarmament interlocutors in recent years.

Just when we discern some sign of softening on the part of the communist world’s first dynastic regime, a South Korean frigate is sunk off the coast of the Korean peninsula, or Pyongyang test fires a missile, or commits some such travesty.

Then, what vestigial hopes the North had managed to keep alive in its adversaries are recognised as chimerical before the rogue regime begins another cycle of ‘now you see my softer side, now you don’t.’

It’s a case of the inveterately bad only getting worse while fiendishly engaged in a dance of deception to take advantage of the gullible.

What are we to think?
