Tidak adil minta wakil rakyat PAS sertai GHB kosongkan kerusi, kata Dzulkefly

Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad berkata undang-undang tidak memaksa Adun dan ahli Parlimen PAS yang menyertai GHB untuk meletakkan jawatan.

Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad berkata undang-undang tidak memaksa Adun dan ahli Parlimen PAS yang menyertai GHB untuk meletakkan jawatan.

Ahli Parlimen dan Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (Adun) PAS yang menyertai Gerakan Harapan Baru (GHB) tidak perlu mengosongkan kerusi yang diwakili kerana perundangan dan perlembagaan tidak memaksa mereka berbuat demikian, kata Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.

Setiausaha GHB itu berkata, sukar untuk berhujah hanya dengan menggunakan faktor parti sahaja jika mahu menuntut calon tersebut mengundur diri.

Malah, katanya, ia tidak adil kerana sistem politik pilihan raya negara tidak akan membenarkan mereka bertanding semula selama 5 tahun.

"Mungkin ada kewajaran untuk meneliti dan menimbang kembali perkara ini.

"Buat masa ini, sistem politik dan pilihan raya adalah tidak adil buat Adun dan ahli Parlimen yang meletak jawatan kerana mereka tidak dapat bertanding semula selama 5 tahun," katanya dalam satu kenyataan hari ini.

Presiden PAS Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang dilaporkan berkata baru-baru ini, wakil rakyat yang menang dalam pilihan raya umum pada 2013 atas tiket PAS perlu mengosongkan kerusi jika mereka menyertai parti baru diasaskan GHB, Parti Amanah Rakyat.

Hadi berkata, mereka perlu meletak jawatan sebagai wakil rakyat kerana melanggar sumpah bai'ah kepada parti Islam itu.

"Mereka mengangkat sumpah, berjanji. Jadi, mereka sepatutnya meletak jawatan dan kosongkan kerusi," kata Hadi di Kota Sarang Semut, Kedah.

Dzulkefly berkata, kemenangan seseorang calon bukan hanya bergantung kepada hak mutlak parti semata-mata tetapi atas faktor ketokohan calon, sokongan rakyat, isu dan gelombang semasa.

"Tentunya untuk memastikan yang mana faktor lebih penting bagi setiap kerusi yang dipertandingkan, kita harus bersabar.

"Sebabnya? Perkara ini hanya akan dapat dibuktikan dalam satu pertandingan dan persaingan dalam pilihan raya akan datang," katanya. – 23 Ogos, 2015.

Sunday, August 23, 2015 PKR wants share of power to vote out Najib Conditions set: to be part of a transition government, and immediate press and electoral reforms najib-PKR KUALA LUMPUR: Parti Keadilan Rakyat has committed its 20 MPs to vote against Prime Minister Najib Razak, if the party is part of a transition government to take over with immediate effect media, electoral and economic reforms to be carried out. PKR demanded that a transition government be formed until the next general election which must be held by 2018 The transition government must comprise members of both the Barisan Nasional and the opposition, and must carry out immediate reforms for free elections, free the media, strengthen parliamentary democracy, and take measures on the economy. They called for an emergency economic committee to be set up to deal with the weakening ringgit, the Goods and Services Tax, increased living costs, and to deal with crony capitalism. An independent royal commission must also be formed immediately to fully implement the Malaysia Agreement 1963. In a joint statement today, the 20 MPs said they would work with all members of Parliament irrespective of party to support a no-confidence motion against Najib in the Dewan Rakyat. A confidence motion needs 112 votes to be carried by a simple majority of the 222-member House. Barisan Nasional commands 132 seats in the Dewan Rakyat, of which Umno have 88 and the non-Umno parties 44. The combined opposition and independent members make up the rest. The PKR decision comes after months of campaigning by opposition politicians for a confidence vote and for a new coalition of MPs to form a government after voting out Najib and his cabinet. Last week, former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad finally declared support for a confidence motion after leading a campaign all year to force Najib out of office as Umno president and prime minister. The PKR statement was jointly signed by Nurul Izzah Anwar (Lembah Pantai); Rafizi Ramli (Pandan); Tian Chua (Batu); Sivarasa Rasiah (Subang); Zuraida Kamaruddin (Ampang); Lee Boon Chye (Gopeng); Johari Abdul (Sungai Petani); Darell Leiking (Penampang); Fuziah Salleh (Kuantan); Sim Tze Tzin (Bayan Baru); Dr Tan Kee Kwong (Wangsa Maju); Mohd Imran Abdul Hamid (Lumut); Wong Chen (Kelana Jaya); William Leong (Selayang); Fauzi Abdul Rahman (Indera Mahkota); Dr Michael Teo Yu Keng (Miri); Dr Azman Ismail (Kuala Kedah); Manivanan Gowin (Kapar); Hee Loy Sian (Petaling Jaya Selatan); and Gooi Hsiao Leung (Alor Setar). They said they felt duty bound to support the confidence motion if it is tabled in the House “in order to restore democracy and the moral integrity and independence of our public institutions”.
