Malaysiakini reports today that according to election administrator Raden Shamsulkamar Raden Shamsudin, all divisions had to officially submit their nominations by last Sunday, 10th October.
A quick check with divisions in Selangor, Penang and Sabah had many responding that this was the first they were hearing of this cut-off date.
Raden has also claimed that none of the 35 divisions that missed the deadline nominated candidates who had not yet qualified, including Nurul Izzah.
Is this correct?
Keningau, Sabah sent in its nomination results to HQ before 10th October.
The nomination that Nurul got for the post of deputy president and the only nomination for her which the party HQ acknowledges was from the Keningau division.
This is the one nomination that Aidila Razak spoke of in her Malaysiakini report yesterday.
Yesterday, the Semporna division, one of the 35 divisions referred to by Raden, faxed their division’s nomination results to the party HQ.
Nurul for deputy president.
Today, Selangau, Sabah Sarawak, another one of the 35 divisions referred to by Raden, faxed in their nomination results.
Nurul for deputy president.
Both these divisions claim not to have been notified of the cut-off date.
The results of one more division where Nurul was nominated for the position of deputy president, also from Sabah, will soon be faxed to party HQ, I am told.
HQ has of course been tracking these results and is aware of them, even if official confirmation has not been received.
The documents from the Semporna and Selangau divisions faxed to party HQ are reproduced below.
To my ‘Is Nurul Izzah being stonewalled…’ post yesterday, Troy sent in a comment and, amongst other things, asked :
“If you have proof , provide it. If not, stop the rumor mongering-it is unprofessional as a representative of the Peoples’ Parliament”.
Is this proof enough for you?

Yeah Troy, you want proof here’s proof.
I’m sick and tired of those fence-sitters who LOVE to tell themselves, “Everything is alright. It’s oke. Tak mengapa. Give them chance. This is not good for the party. This will give him a bad name etc etc.”
All these “Tidak-Apa” attitude..
It is this attitude that have kept Malaysia getting rotten in the hands of BN.
Troy, what is right is right. What is wrong is wrong.
That’s the reason why we have laws.
A biased-loyalty towards someone, or in this case a party, is nothing but a foolish act.
Nurul, if you are reading this, this is no time to chicken out. GOD is opening a path for you. Whether you want to selflessly fight for justice, Malaysia and her rakyat, i sense this is the time for you to choose your path.. and I’ll support you to rise to GOD’s challenge.
Go for it, Nurul!

As a neutral myself, I don`t have any issues on what`s happening in PRK. All members need to adhere to party rules and not at one`s whim and fancy, that includes Nurul. She didn`t get enough nominations and could not contest, simple and fair.
However most of us including Harris, RPK etc. are now blindly supporting Nurul after Zaid. I can sense only one thing, hatred towards Azmin. I have explained this before, may the best man win. The harsh reality is, respected civil movement bloggers are getting very personal and getting too deep into party politics – third force etc.. This is a simple reason why we got so many Indians based political parties here in Malaysia.
I think a distinction needs to be made between civil society champions like RPK and Harris and politicians (a bunch of donuts with fillings hidden at the core). I suggest we should stick to our original drive that we had in 2008.
We need to get rid of BN at whatever cost which is our ultimate objective. By doing this, we could ensure at least the basic tenet of democracy; open, justice, fair etc. in our country. This is good enough for me.
Once this is achieved, we will embark on the journey to scrutinise PR closely. Think about it, this is the only chance we got.
There is no point of squabbling about our fancy donuts like Nurul or Zaid and give BN an upperhand. Most articles in People Parliament and in Malaysia Today are so much of PKR recently. By doing this, we are letting BN off the hook – the morbid angel.

Aftermist,
I have a even more neutral view. Everybody including Harris Ibrahim has personal agenda. Me too.
What Harris Ibrahim has are facts but not the gospel truth. Everybody seems to be in the dark over this issue. PKR leadership should come up with better clarity over the matter.
Perhaps, we should seat back & watch what unfold next

If Nurul can be stonewalled, I wonder what the PKR gremlins are capable of when Putrajaya beckons.
For the better part of 53 years, we all looked away when BN shredded the Fed Con and Malaysia’s social fabric.
Now we have die-hard PKR supporters still not seeing what can go wrong AGAIN.
BN is already dead and waiting to be buried by GE13.
Don’t make PR into another sacred cow for yet another generation to remedy.

The next thing they will say is that it was not submitted in the right format. Or it cannot be faxed in but delivered by-hand. Or, some other excuse.
I know we have to try our best to ensure the right candidates win PKR’s election. But it is getting tiresome.
If they wish to alienate the Rakyat, so be it.
I am sure we will have better choices come the next election because there are righteous people out there, who will be willing to take up the challenge for the good of Malaysia.
Put it this way, if Malaysia do not have enough people willing to do “National Service” for the nation, the nation is doomed anyway.
Singapore has only a handful of real politicians. The majority are on “national service”, on loan from the private sector. And they have made it work well. Why not Malaysia? Do we really want a bunch of full-time politicians without the requisite qualifications & experience to run the various Ministries?
Are we too arrogant/nationalistic/stupid to take what is the better way of doing things from our successful neighbour. Who, by the way, is where most of our brain drain has accummulated.
Think about it and think out of the box.

Well Done Brother Haris! It is sad indeed that this stonewalling is happening – and obviously quite blatantly too. Who is the hidden hand? This does not bode well for the Rakyat….

October 12, 2010
Doesn’t bode well?!? Oligarchy and nepotism culture ending bodes well indeed for Malaysia! ANYONE who forms Oligarchy or is part of a patronage clique creates CONFLICT OF INTEREST and should not be accepted in a party that considers itself clean. This cult of personality/cult of family has to end and it best starts in Pakatan Rakyat as shown the way by Tok Guru and PAS Youth in asking (PMBK) chief executive officer Abdul Ariffahmi Abdul Rahman (Tok Guru’s son-in-law) to quit.
Why can’t the rest of Pakatan emulate this protective feature of democracy, adhere to ethical restrictions on nepotism and oligarchy?! Why should it bode ill if NEPOTISM and OLIGARCHY end???

Thanks for keeping us posted. It makes me wonders who is really in charge in PKR. Is Anwar blinded by ambition? Even worst – is Anwar being held ransom by some skeletons in his closet.
Anyway it is clear that true transformation is not going to come from the current stock of politicians or politicians wannabe. People power is the key, and the leaders we need are those who are disillusioned with the power games, who has high moral standings, and who knows how to make connection with the masses. People like RPK fit the bill perfectly. Nurul is showing a lot of promise, given time I am sure she can prove herself to be a worthy leader.
Get a few of these people together, no matter where they come from or what clan or party they belong. Decide on some worthy course of actions, for example demanding certain bills to be passed in the parliament.
I believe that the third force need not be exclusively political in nature. It should primarily non political, and able to work openly with worthy people PR, BN. The strength of the 3rd force has to derive from its web of connections, the sheer number of people it is able to motivate.
Please tell Pete that he can’t stop. This is no time for him to enjoy his pensioner life of fading into oblivion yet. I don’t think he can stop anyway.

Haris
Thanks for the “proof”. Consider the following:
1. People’s New Hope Zaid is making a fool of himself, quite unbecoming of a senior leader, falling into Utusan’s trap and going back on his earlier word to step aside if Khalid comes in, plus some incoherent retorts
2.Our beloved rennaisance man Anwar Ibrahim has remained elegantly silent about what ever you have alleged thus far- he seems to be enjoying flying here and there away from Malaysia.
3. The ongoing PKR elections seems to be in shambles ( or a sham ), seemingly with no rules or rules being broken with impunity it would seem
Conclusion : Peoples’ Parliament should insist Anwar, the official “Elections Committee” or the present President to provide explanations to your points 1 by one to clear the stinking air. Remember your previous beloved signature campaigns to the silent Royalty ? I suggest you have a quick signature campaign to demand Anwar answers or the Peoples Parliament will reject PKR in toto as another turncoat out to deceive the Malaysian Public and withdraw all support in the coming GE 13.
If Anwar fails to give a definitive response, I shall be the first to sign up, thank you

Doesn’t this resemble the rise to power of Indira Ghandhi?
The young Indira came from a politically oriented family. And there was a great bond between Nehru and Indira…besides,he was proud of her intelligence and capability.
It seems as if, there would be others in PK who would want to taste power first. They wouldn’t want a young Nurul Izza to overtake them.

October 13, 2010
Indira Ghandhi or any political Oligarchy must never come to pass or the Rakyat will have to go through hell to displace nepotistic and patronage politic cliques all over again. To make way for his kids, dr.Evil struck down Anwar. Now Anwar and his kids, no different from Mahatma and Indira . . . The country cannot progress when Oligarchs attempt to sequester MP’s seats for their kith and kin. This third world paradigm of dynastic reservations must end before GE13 or a second entrenchment of a new ‘establishment’ will occur again . . .

great effort in the relentless pursuit of the truth & the well being of Malaysians against robbers & thieves in disguise as sheeps & holy men.
If you are sure of sinister agents in PKR out to defraud Malaysians, take your fight to the next level & withdraw support to AI if he sits on your allegations or as Zorro Bernard likes to say ‘sweep it under the carpet’. It is such a shame & disaster after the false euphoria of GE 12 ! The severe shock, disappointment & doom is like a new found Hero & Messiah has finally succumbed to the forces of evil…& a new Darth Vader will soon emerge. But suppose thats where you come in.

Well I guess corruption, abuse of power, not playing by the rules and disregard of rule of laws is not exclusively BN cultures but also all opposition parties.
In fact I think it’s part of Malaysian cultures at large. Not that I condone it but making an observation.
If you don’t believe me just ask how many here have NEVER done the following:
1. Bribed a policeman.
2. Gotten a Kopi-O license for yourself or your children.
3. Payoff a local authority for some minor offences or favor.
4. Pay for some favor in business related deals.
Abit off topic I know but you get my drift.
Ah Chai,
Hate to burst your bubble, but I have never indulged in 1-4 above.

Sorry Ah Chai to dissapoint you, but me too, have not committed any of the four.
And I hate and despise those who does so.
These are the very same acts what our leaders have been committing. The four you mentioned are micro, what those gomen have been doing, is macro.
That’s the only difference.

Dear Ah Cai, I have never done any of these and I promise myself that I will never do any of these!!! I have no regret backing off from closing a deal if it involves under table money! So, please do not think every other people is as corrupted.

PKR is finished.
The powers manipulating everything and cowardly hiding behind a charade of wayang kulit innocence has destroyed the rakyats’ confidence in the party. Anwar and Azmin are all answerable for this blatant manipulative charade.
Nurul, you have shown potential and promise. Just like Zaid, you have fired the people’s imagination and aspirations. Both of you should sit down with “the Third Force” and map out a cohesive strategy; otherwise I fear all will be lost under the Anwar/Azmin power play.

Ignoring Rules & Regulations, Abuses of Rights or Law have really become part of the Malaysian Culture!! As there is no way to rectify it through existing systems where more abuses and ignorances will be there. They ccome from lawyers, courts, authorities and their officiers, including commercial and social sectors!!
May I suggest the People Parliament to adopt the High Court Rules and get someone as Judges with Jury from the Blogs to start an Open Court Seesion on the web – a Virtual Court, so that within a time frame, some opinion can be concluded. And, let People be familiar once again how Justice can be maintained, Openly and Rules adopting.
Let those complaint be statemented and PKR to come with their Defense within a time frame on the matter. They may not take it serious as it is not a law binder trial. But, I believe a MORAL TRIAL should anyhow be conducted and let People at least get some Justice via a moral trial.
I hope while the Law in Malaysia is rottening or in mud, a Virtual Court can bring back some kind of feeling of Justice in their heart!!
Please formulate a simple Claim Statement form so that it can be easily understood with straight Facts & Issues. Reference can be taken from http://www.judiciary.gov.hk/en/crt_services/pphlt/pdf/dc_form1_e.pdf
PLEASE OPEN JUSTIOE FOR MALAYSIA VIA THE WEB WHEN THE EXISTING IS HALF-DEAD IF NOT FULLY DEAD!!

This is what happens when you folks all gave PKR thumbs up to be UMNO’s replacement.
UMNO is just bulldozing so many things in favour of its cronies, while shutting up the other compnent parties.
And you all thought PKR will be the best replacement to fit in the shoes of UMNO – leading the alternative government in the centre while PAS and DAP are to play second fiddle.
If only you folks have focused on the need to have these three parties performing together on equal basis till next general elections…
Many of you were day dreaming that it is PKR that is going to provide the PM in waiting and the Deputy PM in waiting.
Back to basics lah…
No need to count chicks before eggs hatch.
As it is, you folks are being made aware of the rotten eggs in PKR – irrespective of their ethnic origin.
Shift your focus to better things in Pakatan Rakyat and share that with the rakyat.
Let these busuk fellows perish in the shit they created.

Agree with you about the dangers of promoting dynastic politics.
Yet again Nurul Izza may be a different kettle of fish altogether. She has shown a certain amount of the right mix between being her father’s daughter and her own personality in the way she has recently taken up challenges.
We aught to give her a chance, outside of the fact of her connections. On account of that it is wrong to stigmatise her…she may have a mind of her own.

Bro,
Terdapat 2 tarikh fax tu dihantar. Satu ialah pada 11-10-10 dan satu lagi pada 12 Oct 2010. Kedua-dua tarikh fax ini boleh dikesan pada bahagian hujung bucu atas sebelah kiri kertas fax.
So, kalau tarikh akhir untuk hantar pencalonan ialah pada 10-10-2010, maknanya kedua-dua fax tu dah terlewat hantar dan tidak boleh diambilkira berdasarkan surat pekeliling yang telah dikirimkan (jika surat pekeliling tu benar-benar dikirimkan pada yang berkenaan lah).
