Pembangkang Singapura dijangka letak ramai calon

April 27, 2011

SINGAPURA, 27 April — Dengan hari penamaan calon hari ini, Perdana Menteri Lee Hsien Loong menerusi partinya Parti Tindakan Rakyat (PAP) akan menghadapi pilihan raya umum buat kali kedua.

Buat kali ini juga, pihak pembangkang dijangka menamakan calon mereka untuk bertanding di lebih banyak kawasan berbanding pada tahun 2006.

Penamaan calon bermula 10.30 pagi di sembilan buah pusat.

Pada 2006, Lee mengetuai PAP untuk memenangi 82 daripada 84 kerusi termasuk di 37 kerusi yang calonnya menarik diri.

Lee dan enam anggota pasukannya memenangi kawasan undi perwakilan kumpulan (GRC) atau kawasan parlimen Ang Mo Kio dengan mendapat 96,591 (60.42 peratus) undi daripada keseluruhan 159,872 undi yang dibuat.

Kebanyakan kumpulan Pekerja Parti (WP) pembangkang seramai enam orang adalah dalam lingkungan umur 20-an dan ini akan menjadi pertama kali GRC Ang Mo Kio ditandingi selepas 15 tahun.

Pilihan raya umum kali ini akan turut menjadi ujian buat Lee ekoran beberapa kawasan yang tidak pernah ditandingi buat beberapa tahun akan ditandingi oleh pembangkang, lapor Bernama Online.

Antara kawasan itu ialah GRC Marine Parade, GRC Bishan-Toa Payoh dan GRC West Coast.

Saluran NewsAsia melaporkan pertarungan sengit dijangka berlaku di GRC Aljunied.

PAP sebelum ini berkata pilihan raya umum kali ini ialah mengenai pembaharuan kepimpinan dengan kemungkinan pasukan teras merupakan pemimpin generasi keempat daripada 24 calon baru yang bertanding.

Lee yang juga Setiausaha Agung PAP berkata: “Calon yang bertanding dalam pilihan raya umum ini akan membentuk pasukan kepimpinan masa depan Singapura.”

Manifesto PAP bertemakan “Securing Our Future Together” yang menjadi tugas pasukan baru untuk melaksanakannya.

leader Gaddafi's forces pushed into the rebel-held city of Benghazi, defying world demands for an immediate ceasefire.

Explosions shook Benghazi while a fighter jet was heard flying overhead. Residents said the eastern rebel stronghold was under attack from Gaddafi's forces.

"The explosions started about 2 am. Gaddafi's forces are advancing, we hear they're 20 kms from Benghazi," Faraj Ali, a resident, said. "It's land-based fire. We saw one aircraft," he added.

'Attack within hours'
Gaddafi's forces advance into Benghazi before an international meeting today to discuss military intervention in Libya. The meeting will be attended by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Arab leaders.

Libya had declared a ceasefire on Friday after the UN Security Council authorised a no-fly zone over Libya.

But the United States accused Gaddafi of defying international demands for an immediate ceasefire, and France's UN envoy predicted military action within hours of the Paris meeting on Libya on Saturday.

Gaddafi's attack
Libyan rebels said they were being forced to retreat by Gaddafi's forces. Black plumes of smoke could be seen on the road to the west of the city, a witness said.

"They can be here in a half hour to 90 minutes," rebel fighter Khalid Ahmed said. "We have no hope in the Western forces," Ahmed added as around him rebel forces pulled back from the advancing frontline.

Elsewhere in the city, rebels also reported skirmishes and strikes by Gaddafi forces.

Khir Toyo: ‘1Melayu, 1Bumi’ not racist

By Yow Hong Chieh
April 27, 2011
Dr Khir: I always wonder why when Malays speak of their native rights it is seen as racist but not when the Chinese speak of their Chinese schools, Chinese language and Chinese economic power.

KUALA LUMPUR, April 27 — The “1Melayu, 1Bumi” movement is not racist for wanting to unify Malays politically, Dr Khir Toyo has said.

Calling the movement spearheaded by Malay rights group Perkasa as “legitimate and noble”, the former Selangor mentri besar questioned why Malays were seen as racist when speaking of Malay unity while other races could speak of their respective unity without objection from the Malays.

“I always wonder why when Malays speak of their native rights it is seen as racist but not when the Chinese speak of their Chinese schools, Chinese language and Chineconomic power,” he said on his blog yesterday.

Dr Khir said it was not wrong or racist for Malays to propose a concept like “1Melayu, 1Bumi” as a response to Chinese voters who increasingly voted for opposition parties like the DAP.

He pointed out that Malays saw Chinese support for DAP’s “anti-everything to do with Bumiputeras and Islam” policies as a clear indication that the community now want more political power after successfully controlling the economy.

“Many non-Chinese, especially the Bumiputera, see Chinese support for Pakatan (Rakyat) as support for the empowerment of Chinese political power through the Democratic Action Party (DAP) to erode and eventually eliminate Bumiputera privileges provisioned in the Malaysian Constitution,” he said.

Dr Khir, however, warned that “1Melayu, 1Bumi” should be opposed “to the very end” if it was a racist movement that wished to unify Bumiputeras for the purpose of “oppressing and destroying” the Chinese.

“I, myself, will not agree to any concept that oppresses and destroys other races’ standing,” the Selangor opposition leader said.

He added that whether the concept, first mooted in Utusan Malaysia by assistant chief editor Datuk Zaini Hassan, was racist depended on its execution, demands and wants.

Utusan Malaysia had called on its owners Umno to spearhead a “1Melayu, 1Bumi” movement involving all Malay parties, claiming that the DAP was intent on toppling the country’s Malay leadership.

Former prime minister and Perkasa patron Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad spoke out against the idea, saying it would be “disastrous” if it came to fruition.

The elder statesman said such a movement would eventually result in a two-party system dominated by the Malays and the Chinese on opposing sides of the divide.

Despite their patron’s statement, Perkasa has said it would be willing to lead such a “1Melayu, 1 Bumi” movement.

Some government leaders had sought to distance themselves from Utusan Malaysia’s clarion call last week, claiming it was the personal opinion of the newspaper’s editors.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak assured that the Malay-language daily would not deter the government’s commitment to his 1 Malaysia brainchild.

KUALA LUMPUR 26 April - Perkenalan seorang remaja dengan seorang lelaki menerusi laman sosial Facebook menjadi mimpi ngeri apabila dia menjadi mangsa 'kenduri seks' sembilan lelaki di sebuah rumah teres di Mahkota Cheras, dekat sini Sabtu lalu.

Sebelum kejadian itu, mangsa berusia 14 tahun dikatakan keluar menaiki teksi dari rumahnya di Kondominium Rakyat, Pantai Dalam, kira-kira pukul 7 pagi untuk menemui rakan lelaki yang baru dikenali menerusi laman sosial tersebut.

Mangsa kemudian membuat laporan polis berhubung kejadian sebelum dibawa ke hospital berdekatan bagi pemeriksaan.

Pemangku Ketua Polis Daerah Kajang, Supritendan Azman Ayob ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia di sini hari ini mengesahkan kejadian tersebut.
