JULAU, June 3 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has described new opposition party, Sarawak Workers Party (SWP)'s claims of being Barisan Nasional (BN)-friendly as illogical and irrational, as the party, in the same breath, wants to contest all six seats belonging to BN component party Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS).

"SWP cannot claim to be BN-friendly when it wants to contest against the BN. Such action is obviously not consistent.

"If it is really BN-friendly, what is wrong in supporting all BN candidates. That is the crux of the issue," the prime minister told a media conference today.

Earlier, he had attended the PRS Gawai Dayak Open House at Rh.Jana anak Saweng, a 77-door Iban longhouse in Batu Matop near here.

Najib, who is also BN chairman, said even if SWP managed to win any seat in the coming general election, it would not be invited to join the BN.

"There is no question of joining the BN. The important thing is to support all BN candiadates.

"Otherwise, if they plant their candidates, the votes will be split. My advice to the people of Sarawak is for them to support only the BN," he said.

SWP is led by former two-term Pelagus state assemblman Larry Sng Wei Shien, who is also a former assistant minister in the Chief Minister's Office.

He was sacked from PRS in 2007, over a leadership dispute with its president, Tan Sri Dr James Jemut Masing.

Earlier in his speech, Najib denied that he, as BN chairman, and Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud as state BN chairman, had endorsed the setting up of SWP.

"We only recognise and support the PRS, PBB (Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu), SUPP (Sarawak United People's Party) and the SPDP (Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party).

Asked if the time was opportune for the 13th General Election to be held soon, Najib replied in jest that the Gawai Festival should be allowed to continue first.

Julau Member of Parliament Datuk Joseph Salang also joked with Najib that the number, '7', was auspicious to the Ibans, implying that the general election could be held next month.

Najib also said he believed the state BN would do well in the election, based on the strength of the BN and support of the people on the ground.

"Based on these, there is no reason why the BN cannot do well in the state...but we need to work hard till the end," he said.

On his personal view of the Gawai Festival, Najib said it was a celebration full of culture and traditions of the Ibans.

He described the Ibans as "very friendly and hospitable", especially to outsiders.

The prime minister noted that the Ibans were excited that he and Abdul Taib had visited them at two longhouses here and at the Betong community hall in Betong.

"They had prepared themselves very well and extended a very warm welcome to us and all visitors," he said.

Jangan perjudi keharmonian negara - Tuanku Abdul Halim

KUALA LUMPUR 1 Jun - Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mua'dzam Shah bertitah keamanan dan keharmonian negara bukanlah sesuatu yang boleh diperjudikan malah tidak wujud istilah peluang kedua untuk keamanan sesebuah negara.

Seri Paduka bertitah jika sekali keamanan negara hancur dan hilang, nescaya rakyat akan hidup dalam keadaan mundur dan porak-peranda.

"Menyedari hakikat ini, beta menyeru kepada sekalian rakyat supaya lebih berhati-hati dan berfikir secara lebih matang.

"Keamanan dan keharmonian bukanlah sesuatu yang boleh kita perjudikan. Maka, sebagai sebuah bangsa merdeka lagi bertamadun, salurkanlah apa jua kritikan malah bantahan sekali pun dengan cara berhemah dan berhikmah," titah Tuanku Abdul Halim sempena Hari Ulang Tahun Keputeraan Seri Paduka yang disiarkan menerusi TV1 Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM), malam ini.

Seri Paduka turut melahirkan rasa amat dukacita dengan tindak-tanduk dan angkara sesetengah pihak yang dilihat sengaja ingin meruntuhkan asas keamanan negara yang telah dicipta secara bersusah payah.

Tuanku Abdul Halim bertitah perbuatan sedemikian jelas memperlihatkan niat tidak murni dan ketidakjujuran mereka dalam menjalankan peranan siasah mahu pun organisasi.

"Sepatutnya, mana-mana kumpulan, dalam menjalankan peranan siasah mahu pun organisasi masing-masing, hendaklah memberikan kritikan yang membina dan kondusif, bukannya memperalatkan rakyat yang tidak bersalah sehingga memesongkan pemikiran mereka," titah Seri Paduka.

Seri Paduka bertitah tindakan golongan tertentu yang mendakwa berjuang atas nama kebebasan dan hak asasi manusia dilihat hanya bertujuan menimbulkan provokasi dan meletakkan keamanan negara dalam situasi yang berbahaya.

Tuanku Abdul Halim mengingatkan bahawa rakyat tidak boleh alpa dan leka dengan anasir luar yang tidak berputus asa mahu menceroboh benteng kedamaian negara.

"Menyedari hakikat ini, amat penting bagi kita memperkukuhkan jati diri serta semangat cintakan negara. Setelah lebih setengah abad mengecap nikmat merdeka, janganlah kita terpedaya dengan dakyah atau apa jua propaganda luar yang tidak lain dan tidak bukan, hanya mahu menguasai dan mengganggu-gugat negara kita.

"Penjajahan bentuk baru terhadap politik dan ekonomi Malaysia yang cuba dilakukan ini haruslah disekat dan ditentang bersama. Mahu tidak mahu, kedaulatan tanah air tercinta mestilah terus dipertahankan," titah Seri Paduka.

Tuanku Abdul Halim turut memuji falsafah gagasan '1Malaysia Rakyat Didahulukan, Pencapaian Diutamakan' yang diasaskan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak yang disifatkan Seri Paduka sebagai semakin berjaya menyatukan serta memupuk kerjasama semua pihak dalam memacu Malaysia menjadi sebuah negara maju.

Sambil menyifatkan Malaysia sebagai negara yang masih muda, Seri Paduka bertitah usaha gigih serta perancangan padu oleh kerajaan yang cekap telah mampu melonjakkan negara ke tahap yang membanggakan pada hari ini.

"Namun, walau secantik mana strategi yang telah dirangka kerajaan, hasrat menjadikan Malaysia sebuah negara maju tidak akan tercapai jika tidak disokong dengan persekitaran yang kondusif, stabil dan harmoni.

"Demi masa depan Malaysia, unsur-unsur tidak sihat yang sedang menular dalam cara gaya rakyat Malaysia di semua aspek tidak kira politik, sistem nilai yang dipegang atau kehidupan seharian hendaklah sentiasa dibendung.

"Sebagai masyarakat yang cintakan negara, kita perlu bertindak rasional dengan meletakkan kepentingan umum melebihi kepentingan peribadi dalam apa jua situasi serta keadaan," titah Seri Paduka.

Seri Paduka meminta rakyat supaya melihat kesan daripada pergeseran dan kekacauan yang timbul di beberapa negara luar akibat pemberontakan dan tunjuk perasaan yang tidak berkesudahan terutamanya pada aspek ekonomi yang menjadi gawat dan bermasalah.

Seri Paduka turut mengingatkan supaya detik hitam dan peristiwa berdarah yang pernah menguji negara seperti darurat, pemberontakan Parti Komunis Malaya, era konfrantasi serta pergeseran kaum perlu dielakkan daripada berulang.

"Persoalannya, apakah rakyat mahu melihat Malaysia yang tercinta ini hancur dan lumpuh disebabkan oleh perbuatan tangan-tangan kita sendiri? Ternyata jika itu berlaku, ikhtiar untuk memulihkan kembali keadaan akan mengambil masa yang sangat panjang.

"Sebab itu, janganlah sampai ia terjadi. Bak kata orang, sudah terhantuk baru terngadah, seribu penyesalan sudah tidak berguna lagi," titah Seri Paduka. - BERNAMA

OVER TO YOU: Taib (presents a mock cheque to a JKKK chairperson as (from left) Jabu, Ragad, Rohani and others look on.

PUSA: Incumbent Datuk Rohani Abdul Karim will be re-nominated to defend Batang Lupar parliamentary seat for the Barisan Nasional (BN) in the coming 13th general election.

Chief Minister Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud made this announcement when he attended a meet-the people session organised by Rohani here yesterday.

The function was organised in conjunction with the District Level Consumerism Month celebration initiated by Rohani who is also Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism.

Stressing that all the candidates picked by the BN to contest in the coming general election were of high calibre, credibility and the ability to deliver, Taib called on the people to accord them their full support.

“By giving the BN their full support, the people can rest assured of continuity in terms of economic development, stability, peace and harmony,” he said.

Taib also urged the people to judge the performance of BN as a team rather than individuals, because, the peace and stability and economic prosperity which the people had been enjoying till this day were efforts of all BN leaders who had been working as a team

The people should not doubt the capability of the BN government in administering the country as it’s excellent track record bore testimony to that, he pointed out, adding, apart from having an organised and well strategised development programme, the BN government had been able to handle challenges from within and without.

“For example, when the world encountered the economic crisis caused by the hike in price of fuel, the BN government was there to cushion and minimise the effects on the people.

“Apart from providing subsidies, the BN government had set up ‘Kedai 1Malaysia (KR1M), disbursed 1Malaysia People’s Aid (BRIM), RM100 assistance to all primary and secondary school children, RM200 book voucher to all students in institutions of higher learning and many more,” he added.

Touching on development in Batang Lupar, Taib said that he was pleased to note that the locals had been very responsive to the economic activities recommended by the government, hence, vast areas had been developed for palm oil plantations.

He believed Pusa and Batang Lupar in general would become a major palm oil producer given the positive attitude of the local farming community.

During the function Taib also presented minor rural projects grants to several bodies in the area.

Among those present were Rohani, Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Datuk Patinggi Alfred Jabu, MDTCC deputy secretary general Datin Mahani Tan Abdulah, Assisatnt Minister in the Chief Minister’s Office (Islamic Affairs) Datuk Daud Abdul Rahman and Puan Sri Ragad Kurdi Taib.

Siapakah sebenarnya 'mastermind' pengecilan SPDP dan ancaman kepada PRS?

Lebih setahun parti SPDP telah perlahan demi perlahan diperkecilkan dari 4 ahli parlimen dan 6 ahli DUN kepada satu ahli DUN sahaja (YB Wong Judat berjinak dengan Sarawak Workers Party).

Sekarang PRS diserang hebat oleh Datuk Sng Chee Hua, anaknya Larry Sng dan YB Wong Judat (DUN Meluan).

Pada zahirnya nampak seperti semua bertindak bersendirian tetapi sebenarnya adakah seorang atau beberapa orang 'mastermind' yang 'orchestrate' kerosakan dua-dua parti komponen BN ini?  Adakah 'mastermind' ini bertujuan untuk mengambil alih kuasa teratas Sarawak?
