PKR dakwa pengundi disogok wang

PKR mendakwa ada pengundi di Parlimen Permatang Pauh disogokkan wang antara RM50 dan RM300 seorang dan salinan kad pengenalan mereka diambil.

Ketua Penerangan PKR, Tian Chua, pihaknya menerima maklumat mengenai perkara tersebut dan sedang mengumpul bukti yang lebih kukuh.

"Kita menggalakkan orang yang menerima wang itu tampil ke depan, tetapi ini sulit sedikit kerana mereka takut.

"Kerana itu kita merasa yakin mereka tidak berani untuk berbuat demikian," katanya dalam sidang media di Yayasan Aman di Permatang Pauh hari ini.

Bagaimanapun, Tian Chua tidak menyebut pihak yang membuat sogokan dan mengambil salinan kad pengenalan.

Sehubungan itu, beliau mengingatkan pengundi supaya tidak terperangkap kerana ia boleh menyebabkan mereka tidak boleh mengundi.

PKR, katanya, tidak boleh mengambil tindakan kerana tidak mempunyai kuasa penguatkuasaan.

Cuba halang

Dalam sidang media tersebut, Tian Chua juga mengulas mengenai tindakan polis menahan Timbalan Ketua PKR Bahagian Batu, Kamil Abdul Samad.

"Kamil cuba menghalang orang daripada memukul petugas jurugambar pada hari penamaan calon 16 Ogos lalu dan mengalami sedikit kecederaan dalam insiden tersebut.

"Semalam dia pergi ke Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Sentul untuk melaporkan kejadian tersebut tetapi sebaliknya ditahan.

"Pada mulanya pegawai polis di IPD Seberang Perai Tengah menasihatkan beliau supaya melaporkan diri di mana-mana balai polis," katanya.

Tian Chua berkata, beberapa foto yang disiarkan dalam akhbar menunjukkan petugas PKR hendak menghalang perkara itu (menyerang jurugambar) berlaku.

Katanya, mereka yang ditangkap polis itu kebanyakannya memegang jawatan dalam PKR dan ini merupakan satu kempen untuk memburukkan parti itu.

"Kita kesal kerana pihak polis telah diperalatkan dalam kempen pilihanraya Permatang Pauh," tambahnya.

Sumpah: Pemuda PAS nafi cabar Anwar

kemaskini 5:07pm Ketua Pemuda PAS Selangor, Sallehen Mukhyi menafikan beliau mencabar calon PKR Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim bersumpah laknat seperti laporan sebuah akhbar hari ini.

"Saya tidak ada cabar (Anwar bersumpah)," katanya ketika diminta mengulas laporan Utusan Malaysia.

"Saya kata (kepada wartawan itu), terpulang kepada beliau (Anwar), itu hak beliau (untuk bersumpah atau sebaliknya).

"Tetapi perkara (bersumpah) itu tidak ada peruntukan syariah.

"Dalam kes ini, ada dua penyelesaian, pertama pengadu mesti mengemukakan saksi, dan kedua sama ada tertuduh itu mengaku.

"Oleh kerana Anwar tidak mengaku, penuduh perlu mengemukakan saksi," katanya.

Bekas pembantu penasihat PKR, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, bersumpah di sebuah masjid di Kuala Lumpur pada 15 Ogos, sehari sebelum Anwar menjadi calon pilihanraya kecil Permatang Pauh berdepan calon-calon BN Datuk Arif Shah Omar Shah dan Angkatan Keadilan Insan Malaysia (Akim) Hanafi Hamat.

Akhbar itu melaporkan Sallehen mencabar Anwar melakukan sumpah laknat "jika beliau di pihak yang benar".

Ketua Pemuda itu juga dilaporkan berkata bersumpah laknat merupakan langkah terbaik bagi bekas timbalan perdana menteri itu untuk menyelesaikan masalah peribadinya sekali gus membersihkan namanya.

Beliau turut dilaporkan berkata, semua pihak harus menerima baik sumpah Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan yang berbuat demikian kerana mahu menjaga nama baik diri dan keluarga.

Bercakap kepada Malaysiakini hari ini, Sallehen berkata, tindakan Mohd Saiful bersumpah Jumaat lalu, "tidak kena dengan masa" dan menyebabkan timbulnya pelbagai tafsiran orang ramai.

"Ia menimbulkan pelbagai persepsi (orang ramai). Dalam keadaan (menjelang) pilihanraya kecil Permatang Pauh, tidak kena dengan masa untuk beliau bersumpah," katanya.

Walaupun tidak bersetuju dengan cara ia dilakukan, Sallehen mengakui Mohd Saiful mempunyai hak untuk bersumpah.

Mengulas kesan sumpah pemuda itu kepada peluang Anwar memenangi pilihanraya kecil 26 Ogos nanti, beliau berkata tindakan itu tidak menjejaskan undi untuk tokoh pembangkang itu di Permatang Pauh.

"Perkara ini bukan isu bagi pengundi Cina dan bukan Melayu. Orang Melayu pula, dengan wujudnya pelbagai persepsi, ia tidak akan menjadi isu besar," katanya.

ACA delves into IT project involving firm with Israeli directors

KUALA LUMPUR: The Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) is investigating how a little-known IT company with little experience became the local partner in the RM1bil project to upgrade the Royal Malaysian Police's communication systems from analogue-based to digital.

The project has since been scaled down.

According to sources, the ACA was also probing how a Singapore-based company, several of whose directors are Israeli nationals, was awarded a slice of the project when it was against the Government's directive to do so.

The Israelis are said to be former officers in the Israeli Air Force.

The upgrading of the communications system would enable traffic policemen, those in mobile patrol vehicles and beat-duty policemen to communicate with each other and with their control centres.

The sources said the authorities had begun their preliminary inquiries into the companies to ascertain whether there was any irregularity in the awarding of the project and whether they could pose a security risk.

They said the ACA would call up several people, including police officers and senior government officials to assist in investigations following allegations that the company does not possess the requisite expertise.

It is learnt the Home Ministry had first awarded the RM980mil upgrading project to a well-known multi-national company in February.

However, in March, the company was informed that a local IT company had been appointed as local partner for the project, causing eyebrows to be raised.

With the latest development, sources said the IT company’s involvement in the project has since been limited to enable further discussions on the matter.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said police were aware of the involvement of the Israelis in their communications systems upgrading project.

“We informed the Home Ministry as soon as we learnt about it,” he said, declining to elaborate.

It is learnt that the Government has decided to scale down the project for the time being and had only approved its first phase, estimated to cost around RM42mil.

The IGP had last October announced that the police planned to equip their personnel with hand-held computers, and micro-cameras fitted into walkie-talkies, as part of a massive plan to beef up the force's capability.

He had said the police wanted to use such high-tech devices and set up a network of camera surveillance systems to fight crime more effectively.

Musa said the force needed to have an e-solution system that would enable them to communicate with police helicopters, airplanes and marine police as well as with their mobile police vehicles.

“The Bukit Aman control centre will use the latest high-tech devices and communication systems to relay, monitor and coordinate operations throughout the country,” he said.

1 Dunia Tau Tapi 1 Malaysia Belum Tau..!

Kecoh 1 Malaysia kes rasuah EXCO Perak...media UMNO/BN bukan main lagi sibuk bertali arus dok belit rakyat 1 Malaysia...padahal isu tu sebenarnya tak wujudpun...yang ada cuma rekaan tuduhan...rujuk [ sini ] untuk penerangan lanjut.

Berita kat bawah ni pulak semua media UMNO/BN tak ambil kesah...tutup lah...diluar sana hangpa boleh tutup.didalam sini kami sebarkan kepengetahuan umum...berita ni dah berlalu 4 hari lepas...saje aku bukak balik sebab aku tau......tak ramai yang tahu.

Penangkapan adik angkat Ketua Menteri Sabah, Datuk Seri Musa Aman iaitu Michael Chia di Hong Kong pada jam 2.35 petang khamis (14 Ogos 2008) telah membongkar misteri di sebalik enigma.

Michael Chia ditangkap polis Hong Kong di Lapangan Terbang Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong ketika ingin menyertai penerbangan ke Kuala Lumpur.

Menurut sumber rapat Polis Hong Kong dan Interpol, mereka telah memantau kegiatan haram Michael Chia sejak tiga tahun lalu dan akhirnya berjaya menangkap Michael bersama bukti wang tunai Singapura bernilai RM16 juta yang diseludup keluar daripada Hong Kong di dalam beg pakaiannya.

Setelah disoalsiasat, Michael merayu agar dibebaskan kerana wang berkenaan milik Musa Aman dan beliau hanyalah agen membawa keluar wang berkenaan ke Kuala Lumpur bagi membantu meringankan beban kewangan Barisan Nasional dalam proses penamaan calon di Permatang Pauh dan sebahagiannya untuk kegunaan pilihanraya kecil berkenaan.

Penangkapan ini membuatkan Musa Aman berang dan bimbang beliau akan terjerat berikutan penahanan Michael Chia bersama bukti dan lebih malang lagi apabila akaunnya di beberapa bank di Hong Kong dibekukan serta merta.

"CM (Musa) marah betul atas kebodohan Michael Chia kerana bawa wang tunai. Kenapa tidak TT (Telegraphic Transfer) saja? Saya rasa CM kita dalam bahaya," ujar Datuk Amin Khan, seorang proksi Musa Aman ketika memberitahu rakannya yang juga Datuk melalui telefon di sebuah coffe house hotel terkemuka yang sempat didengar wakil Malaysia Today di Sabah yang secara kebetulan menikmati makan malam di situ.

Penangkapan suspek ini mengejutkan semua pihak terutama Badan Pencegah Rasuah Sabah kerana Michael Chia tidak boleh meninggalkan Negara ini tanpa mendapat izin BPR kerana pasportnya dalam simpanan BPR atas beberapa pertuduhan rasuah bersama Loh Man Heng.

Michael yang sebelum ini ditangkap bersama rakan kongsi Musa Aman, Loh Man Heng dan Chong 'Khung Long' (Chong Dinasour) kemungkinan akan dihadapkan ke Mahkamah Tinggi Hong Kong pada hari ini bagi menghadapi pertuduhan penyeludupan wang dan pengurupan wang haram (Money Traficking dan Money Laundering).

Penangkapan Michael ini memberi tamparan hebat kepada Ketua Pengarah BPR, Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan kerana desas desus yang tersebar meluas mengatakan bahawa Kes Rasuah Loh Man Heng telah ditutup berikutan pengakuan Loh Man Heng sendiri bahawa beliau telah membayar sejumlah RM4 juta melalui pegawai kanan BPR, Mohd Jamidan Abdullah yang sebelum ini menutup kes Musa Aman dalam kegiatan pembalakan haram di Keningau.

Sebelum ini, Pengurus Besar Operasi Kumpulan Yayasan Sabah, Mohd Daud Tampokong yang sering kelihatan bersama dengan Michael Chia di Hong Kong dan Singapura untuk menjalankan transaksi kewangan bagi pihak Musa Aman.

Namun bak kata pepatah modern, sepandai-pandai ayam melompat, akhirnya menjadi KFC, Michael Chia terjebak walaupun sebelum ini telah berjaya melakukan traksaksi pemindahan wang dalam jumlah yang besar, namun kali ini tertangkap kerana gelojoh membawa wang tunai dengan jumlah melebihi had yang dibenarkan.

Musa Aman begitu mempercayai Michael Chia kerana syarikat bapa Michael, Chia & Sons telah banyak membantu Musa di era beliau membina kerjaya dalam bidang pembalakan dan kontrak, terutama penyewaaan skau (tongkang) untuk menarik kayu balak Musa.

Apabila Musa menjadi Pengarah Yayasan Sabah dan Ketua Menteri Sabah, Michael telah menjadi 'Taiko' dalam bidang perhutanan terutama di konsesi Yayasan Sabah.

Michael turut dibantu oleh Chong 'Khung Long' atau yang digelar 'Dinosour' kerana kegiatannya dalam bidang pembalakan haram untuk membekalkan balak kepada Michael selain daripada konsesi dengan kerjasama Pengarah Perhutanan Sabah, Datuk Sam Mannan @ Sam Singh.

Berita penangkapan Michael Chia belum diketahui umum namun tidak mengejutkan penduduk Sandakan kerana selama ini beliau menunjukkan kekayaan luar biasa dan hidup mewah dengan memiliki sekurang-kurangnya dua bungalow dan 17 kereta mewah, selain harta yang dibeli di Hong Kong dan Singapura.

"Satu sport rim keretanya sama nilainya dengan sebuah proton wira," ujar William, seorang mekanik yang menyelenggara keretanya sejak tujuh tahun lalu.

Dalam pada itu, hubungan antara Daud Tampokong dan Michael Chia terlalu rapat kerana mereka sering dilihat bersama di Shang Hai, Shang Zen, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapura dan Quang Zhou untuk menguruskan 'ang pau' untuk Musa Khan yang kebanyakannya dimasukkan ke dalam akaun Hajjah Rosmawati Haji Lasuki (Gundik Musa Aman) yang juga Pengurus Sumber Manusia dan Pentadbiran Yayasan Sabah.

Konspirasi!- Ngeh Koo Ham

Pengerusi DAP Negeri merangkap Exco Kanan Negeri Perak, Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham pagi tadi menjelaskan bahawa kes penangkapan dua Exco Perak beserta tiga lagi merupakan satu konspirasi Umno untuk menjatuhkan kerajaan PR Perak menjelang 31 Ogos ini.

Dalam temuramah dengan wartawan selepas mahkamah memerintahkan tahanan reman selama dua hari terhadap YB Jamaludin sebentar tadi, Ngeh memaklumkan tentang beberapa tindakan BPR yang bertentangan dengan apa yang dinyatakan kepada media semalam.

Dalam kenyataan kepada media semalam, BPR menyatakan bahawa dua EXCO telah ditangkap, sedangkan YB Jamaludin sedang berada diPermatang Pauh pada masa itu. YB Jamaludin hanya kembali ke Ipoh malam tadi untuk memberikan bantuan tetapi telah ditahan.

Begitu juga dengan kenyataan BPR mengatakan bahawa mereka ditangkap dihotel adalah satu pembohongan, sebaliknya kedua-dua Kapt (B) Usaili Alias dan Kapt (B) Osman ditangkap ketika sedang minum di Kluang Cafe, Ipoh Raya.

Pagi tadi, ketika YB Jamaludin dibawa kemahkamah, BPR mendakwa YB Jamaludin meminta wang suapan berjumlah RM5,000 daripada seorang yang tidak dikenali.

Amat jelas, tindakan yang dibuat oleh BPR ini merupakan satu perancangan untuk menimbulkan kegelisahan dikalangan rakyat Perak.

Ngeh juga mempersoalkan tentang mengapa tiada tindakan diambil terhadap laporan yang dibuat terhadap Bekas Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Tajol Rosli Ghazali, walaupun segala bukti telah diberi. BPR sepatutnya menunjukkan bahawa mereka bebas dari telunjuk BN dalam mengambil sesuatu tindakan.

Rasuah Perak: Ada Rahsia Cuba Disembunyi..?

Jelas sekali pada pemerhatian aku adanya 1 konspirasi untuk menjatuhkan Kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat Negeri Perak pimpinan Datuk Seri Ir Nizar Jamaluddin.

Bertitik tolak dari isu muzakarah ciptaan puaka-puaka UMNO/BN sebaik KERAjaan BN Negeri Perak tumbang ditangan keramat rakyat negeri Perak, jelas menampakkan adanya usaha extreme untuk menggulingkan Kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat yang dipilih rakyat Perak.

Bodohnya si Tajol Rosli dalam isu muzakarah terserlah bilamana sibengong itu tanpa segan silu, tanpa sedar duduknya sebagai pembangkang, menawarkan kerusi MB kepada Ir Nizar yang dah sedia memegang jawatan MB Perak.

Bodoh & Bengong itu memang sesuai diberi pada pencacai yang masih tak sedar akan duduk dirinya yang pada dasarnya tak punya apa-apa kelebihan tapi berhati besar bagai hati lembu menawarkan sesuatu yang dah jadi kepunyaan & hak Ir Nizar.

Kalau aku tawarkan kedudukan pembangkang pada sibengong Tajol ni mesti dia melatah mengata aku menghina dia walhal memang duduk dirinya disitu & sayugia juga disitulah sibengong ini pasti tak sedar duduk dirinya waktu ini.

Gagal menyunting PAS dengan umpan "demi melayu" maka diaturkan 1 janji konspirasi & matlamatnya mana-mana & apa cara sekalipun sibengong Tajol ni mahu juga dia jatuhkan Kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat yang diwakili masyarakat berbilang kaum.

Mungkin airmata sibengong Tajol ini masih belum berhenti bercucuran sedari malam 9 mac lalu.menitis-nitis dipipi dambakan jawatan terdahulu.bengong ni rupanya fikir jauh kehilangan itu tak ada dalam hidup agaknya?

Habis kering idea dalam kepala lutut maka dicipta 1 perjumpaan yang tak sape pun tau apa tujuannya.hantar 2 orang pelakon dengan bekal 1 beg berisi ongkos tunai & tunggu...yang dijanji datang tanpa tahu apa tujuan perjumpaan diadakan terus dicekup penguasa senget yang sedia menunggu.

Tuduhan? meminta RM5000 untuk luluskan projek perumahan.projek perumahan apa?Sri Iskandar?apa ada di Sri Iskandar?

Kerajaan Negeri Perak pun tak tahu wujudnya projrk perumahan di Sri Iskandar.macam mana pulak BPR boleh tahu?yang dituduh pula kalau diikutkan, bukan bidangkuasa mereka untuk luluskan projek...ini gila...gila yang ini mengalahkan gila sibengong Tajol.

Mungkin sibengong Tajol ni dah sampai tahap meroyan gila talakkan kuasa MB.entah...aku tak tau...mampuih pi la dia...TAPI......

Dari pemerhatian aku, usaha bersungguh-sungguh untuk jatuhkan Kerajaan Negeri Perak ni bersebab.sebabnya masih dalam siasatan kami & aku yakin sangat-sangat, ada sesuatu yang puaka-puaka ni takutkan.mungkin puaka-puaka ni pernah buat sesuatu PENYELEWENGAN YANG BESAR semasa puaka-puaka ini mentadbir negeri Perak.

Puaka-puaka ni mungkin terdesak takut selewengan depa ni lambat laun dikehui oleh Kerajaan negeri Perak sekarang...jadi sebelum terbongkar...usaha menjatuhkan Kerajaan Perak sekarang mesti dibuat.

MESTI ADA UDANG SEBALIK BATU..!

Tunggu...bangkai hangpa tak leh tutup dengan daun pisang...pasai satu hari nanti pasti Tok Wan yang meniaga nasik lemak akan jumpa...kalau dah Tok Wan jumpa bangkai tu...hangpa tunggu la...1 kampung geger..!

Anwar: Malaysia government backs Israel

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 — Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has accused the government of supporting the pro-Israel lobby in the US and Jewish groups inside Israel.

"I have evidence proving that the government is backing the Jewish lobby in the US and some parties inside Israel," Anwar told IslamOnline.net in an exclusive interview.

Anwar, a former deputy premier who is contesting a by-election as the next step in his plan to become premier, declined to elaborate on the nature of the support or his evidence.

Malaysia, a Muslim Asian giant, does not have diplomatic relations with Israel.

After the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005 following decades of military occupation, it denied reports the move would change its position on relations with Israel.

"Tel Aviv has yet to fulfil certain conditions," Foreign Ministry parliamentary secretary Ahmad Shabery Cheek said at the time.

"Therefore there is no reason why Malaysia should review its current stand."

Former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who retired in 2003 after 22 years in power, had angered Israel just before his retirement when he said that Jews rule the world by proxy, getting others to fight and die for them.

Anwar again refuted charges of sodomy made by Mohamad Saiful Bukhari Azlan, a 23-year-old former aide.

"These accusations are nothing but propaganda and mere fabrication," he told IOL.

Anwar was accused of sodomy in court this month, but the charge indicated the alleged sex act was consensual.

Mohamad Saiful said last Friday that the alleged sex act was not consensual, and that it "happened by force, without my permission."

He was photographed last week at a city mosque, swearing on the Quran that he was telling the truth.

Anwar insists the charges have been engineered by the government to prevent him from seizing power after landmark March elections.

"They are a bid by the government to ... stumble my bid to lead the country."

Anwar led a three-party opposition alliance to astonishing victories in the March general election, seizing control over five of Malaysia's 13 states and a third of the parliament seats.

Sodomy, even between consenting adults, is illegal in Muslim-majority Malaysia.

If convicted, Anwar will be handed down a 20-year jail sentence which will end his political ambitions.

The sodomy charge against Anwar, who had served in various portfolios before becoming deputy premier in 1993, is the second in a decade.

He was found guilty of sodomy in 2000 and sentenced nine years in prison but released after four after the highest court overturned his conviction.

Anwar ridiculed accusations of being a US "lackey".

"These accusations are nothing but propaganda to tarnish the opponents' reputation."

He said he has been a vocal opponent of the US-led war on Iraq and its so-called war on terror.

"But this does not mean I would engage in a war against the US."

The opposition leader also took a swipe at Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's flagship Islam Hadhari project.

"There is only one Islam," Anwar said.

"Claiming that there is Islam Hadhari means that there is a 'bad' Islam."

Islam Hadhari is the brainchild of Abdullah, who maintains it is derived from the core principles and teachings of Islam.

It aims to present the civilised image of Islam as a faith that caters for all social, political and economic needs of the human beings.

"Action speaks louder than words," Anwar said.

"How can we propagate this project at a time we are plagued by corruption, poor education and a crumbling economic system." — The Palestine Chronicle

Anwar wants Toh Kin Woon to be PKR adviser

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 20 — Wasting no time, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has offered an advisory role to former Gerakan leader Datuk Dr Toh Kin Woon less than 24 hours after he resigned from the party.

At a press conference in Permatang Pauh today, where the PKR leader is campaigning for the Aug 26 by-election, Anwar asked the ex-Gerakan central committee and Penang state exco member to advise the party on good governance.

"I need time to consider it. I'm not even sure I am qualified," Toh told The Malaysian Insider in a phone interview, and said that he was surprised by the offer. Toh had been in Permatang Pauh to support the PKR campaign and was present today with fellow lobbyists concerned with Chinese vernacular education.

When asked why the press conference was held, he explained that the group had agreed to the pre-arranged event but had no idea that an actual press conference would be held, believing it to be a "photo opportunity" only.

At the press conference, Toh denied that his show of support for PKR was a betrayal of Gerakan since he had resigned from the party and would not be joining PKR or any other party.

He said that he supported Anwar's by-election campaign as PKR's ideals were similar to the founding principles of Gerakan.

"I am, in a sense, continuing with the ideals of Gerakan, only on a different platform."

He said that he would not hesitate to criticise the de facto opposition leader should he fail to hold on to these these principles in the future.

Toh had resigned from Gerakan yesterday citing a desire to focus on NGO work. This came after he had openly declared his support for Anwar's candidacy and earlier in the year, had suggested that Gerakan consider leaving BN.

No escape from race politics

PERMATANG PAUH, Aug 21 — Late on Monday night, under the glare of harsh fluorescent lights, several hundred people turned up to listen to opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

They were almost all Malay-Muslim and conservative — even young girls wore the tudung.

The rally was, after all, held at the village base of the Islamist Pas, a partner in Anwar's opposition Pakatan Rakyat alliance.

The warm-up speaker was Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin, an urbane Pas leader who leads one of Malaysia's most multiracial states, and whose ability to spout a smattering of Mandarin and Tamil has won the hearts of non-Malays.

He recited a Quranic verse that explained it was a religious dictum for different races to get along.

“That is the very creed of Pakatan Rakyat,” he told the 500-strong crowd in Kampung Petani.

That is the message of Anwar and his coalition partners, and he is holding firm even in the face of accusations that he has sold out Malay interests to further his personal ambition to become prime minister.

Anwar is contesting a by-election in this predominantly Malay constituency in his bid to return to Parliament.

He told the crowd he had not abandoned his identity as a Malay and Muslim, “but we want new politics in Malaysia”.

“The Chinese live here, the Indians live here, are we to ask them to go back? They don't have anywhere else to go. We give them justice, no problem about that,” he said.

It was this same multiracial message that won the Pakatan significant support from non-Malays in the March 8 general election which changed the shape of Malaysian politics.

Led by the astute Anwar, his coalition partners — especially Pas — toned down their race rhetoric.

And the ruling Barisan Nasional saw its non-Malay support plunge from a steady 50-plus per cent of Chinese and 80 per cent of Indians to about 30 per cent.

Almost six months on, the non-Malays are in no hurry to return to the BN fold.

Two of the BN's main component parties — the MCA and MIC — remain mired in crisis over their relevance.

In turn, the dominance of Umno, the Malay-based backbone of the BN, is becoming ever more apparent, further alienating non-Malays.

An MIC grassroots member in Permatang Pauh told The Straits Times he would not vote for the BN as long as it was unable to defend minority interests.

Like him, many non-Malays now see Umno as arrogant and racist after it ratcheted up its Malay rhetoric in recent years.

So it would seem to the casual observer that Malaysia's opposition now represents multiracialism whereas the BN represents old-style race-based politics.

Indeed, much has been made about how race politics went out the window last March, and everyone has a story about elderly Chinese aunties voting for the Islamic Pas for the first time.

In reality, however, it is merely the racial balance between the opposition and the BN that has changed.

The Malays have stayed with the BN, while the non-Malays have crossed over to the opposition.

Anger over the distribution of wealth and the perception of a corrupt government caused a 5 per cent swing away from the BN among the Malays, but these were largely urban voters. Rural Malays, who depend heavily on the government for their livelihood, have stayed with the BN.

Today, the ruling coalition is seen more than ever as a Malay base and the opposition, a camp for non-Malays. Race remains a major factor in this fluid political scene.

It is proving an uphill battle for the BN to win back the non-Malays. For the first time, the minorities see in Anwar a leader who has promised to safeguard their interests, and who has a real shot at the country's top job.

But sentiment among Malays is more divided. Some quarters want Malays to believe their interests are taking a backseat.

Note the surge of activities by Malay non-governmental groups, often linked to Umno, to push for Malay interests.

Note the stream of articles in the mass-selling Utusan Malaysia championing Malay rights and criticising minorities' demands.

Note also the “unity talks” between Umno and Pas. The talks ground to a halt after a backlash from Pas’s coalition partners, as well as Islamic party stalwarts who distrust Umno.

What is clear is that an old battle is being played out: both Umno and Pas vying for Malay support.

In this tussle, the opposition seems to have made at least one major misstep. A call by its Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim to allow non-Malays in the Malays-only Universiti Teknologi Mara has not gone down well among Malays.

In the short term, Umno may benefit from the opposition's insistence on defending its multiracial line.

But in the medium term, Umno has much to lose. The more fervently it pushes the Malay cause, the more likely it will be to further alienate minorities and its non-Malay coalition partners.

The contest in this constituency is as much about race as it is about Anwar.

Attend any opposition gathering here, and it is evident that opposition leaders show a determination to be multiracial. With the non-Malay vote in the bag, they want to secure the Malay vote by not straying from this line.

The BN is gunning for the Malay vote.

The Permatang Pauh by-election may shed some light on where Malay loyalties lie, but it will not reveal any magic formula for a new configuration of power.
