Hahaha.......
You know what Decaf? Tan Sri Tommy Thomas ni memberi Maideen impressi bahawa semasa disekolah - samada di Pasar Road English School atau di V.I. - adalah seorang budak yang amat nakal. Dia dudok di barisan belakang dan akan menganggu classmatesnya dan bila kena marah akan buat muka kesian.
Dalam tulisannya Tommy menulis:
I have since March scrupulously adhered to the convention that it is not proper for a former public officer to comment on the merits or demerits of policies and decisions made by his successor.
But last night’s announcement that the prime minister requested the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to declare a national Emergency imposes a responsibility on me not to remain silent. Hence, with a heavy heart, I pen my thoughts on the legality of the proposed move.
Ingin Maideen menyatakan di sini bahawa Maideen dapat merasakan keikhlasan dan kejujurannya apabila Mr. Thomas menulis seperti yang diatas.
(Rasanya ini adalah kali kedua dia terpaksa membuat kenyataan yang melibat "successornya" - yang pertama ialah apabila "successor"nya mengkompounkan kesalahan Riza Aziz dan mengatakan pula ianya telah di persetujui oleh Tommy Thomas. Maideen percaya ianya di buat oleh Tommy "with a heavy heart" dan bukan dia mahu memeritahu successor yang hanya lulus LLBnya dengan kepujian kelas ke3 sahaka dari Universiti Malaya, bahawa dia lebih pandai.
Apa apa pon alhamdulillah pihak Istana telah menolak permohonan Din Pagoh agar YDPA mengisytiharkan darurat "Kerana tiada necessity" untok berbuat demikian. Jelaslah ini sejajar dengan pendapat Tan Sri Thomas bahawa tiada elemen "gravity" dalam keaadaan kini, yang merupakan sine qua non untuk membolehkan pengisytiharan darurat seperti yang di Peruntokan dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan.
Perlu diingat, Kebawah Duli Raja Raja yang hadir di Istana Negara Semalam adalah English Educated dan faham apa yang Tan Sri Tommy jelaskan dalam tulisannya.....
Tommy has zero responsibility in this matter – none whatsoever – he just has an axe to grind. PERIOD! In writing his article Tommy has completely missed many critical points – but mainly that it is the Yang di-Pertuan Agong that is considering the request and will make the proclamation.
Make no mistake – the world is in the midst of a pandemic that has resulted in the death of millions. Malaysia is not alone in proposing to declare a state of emergency. Japan, Ethiopia, 48 of the 50 states of the USA, Armenia, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Spain and Italy have all declared a state of emergency directly as a result of this pandemic.
Tommy points out that there are a number of safeguards in the Constitution to ensure that there is a reluctance to rush into a proclamation of a state of emergency. The fact that there is such a reluctance, and yet it is being considered, should be some indication as to the seriousness of the situation that has made this a reality – something that Tommy seems to have overlooked.
While Tommy points out that the ramifications of an emergency are massive, and there are safeguards in place to restrict its use, it must be pointed out that the restrictions do not prevent its use. There are circumstances where it continues to be available for use where warranted.
It seems that Tommy has joined the ranks of the conspiracy theorists in saying that the virus does not pose an imminent threat. This is a very dangerous path to take, that places the lives of our vulnerable citizens at serious risk.
When Tommy states that the “real decision maker” is the Prime Minister and the Agong acts on his advice, he implies that the Agong is merely “a puppet” of the Prime Minister and is incapable of forming his own decisions and assessing the advice provided to him to form the basis of his decision. I am shocked that this comes from a person who claims to be a constitutional expert!!
Rakyat faham perasaan Presidin Persatuan Intelek Bangsa Kuota dan Sabsidi....... Namun rakyat menjunjung kasih kebawah duli yang telah membuat keputusan yang tepat!
Harap intelek bangsa kuota dan sabsidi dapat menghayati parodi lagu Merl Haggard ini:
Calling an EMERGENCY, is something we’re not used to
There’re NO communists or RIOTS on the streets
With the MCO, these months, is how we’ve been living
It’s been tough, but we know STUFF, to call your BLUFF
They’ve got swinging doors, a BACK one and NOW an EXIT
Used the COVID... danger... flashing rising signs
With this LAW... they’ll get to do whatever they want to
and they’ll get to hold the HELM ... till voting time
It’s been two weeks since... we heard about a takedown
And the politics, by the BIG guns ... on the ground
A game of thrones, while the groans of COVID still arising
While it’s tough, but we know STUFF, to call your bluff
They’ve got swinging doors... a BACK one and NOW an EXIT
Used the COVID... danger…flashing rising signs
With this LAW... they’ll get to do whatever they want to
and they’ll get to hold the HELM ... till voting time
And they’ll keep Anwar ON HOLD ... for the LONGEST TIME.
ayam oh ayam. ko ni suka mewakili suara rakyat padahal orang tak lantik kau sebagai jurucakap pun. Nilah yang dikatakan syok sendiri level ayah pin
Tapi tak pelah ko mmg cari makan dari forum ni, so kesianlah kat ko. B40 pulak ko nnt kalo kami tak komen apa yg patut
Cik kak, sila baca dan fahami Sejarah Malaysia ya.
DAP memang parti serpihan Parti Tindakan Rakyat (PAP) apabila Singapura dikeluarkan dari Malaysia pada 9 Ogos 1965.
Selang beberapa lama sebaik shj Singapura keluar, DAP ditubuhkan secara rasmi yang diasaskan oleh Devan Nair yg kemudiannya menjadi Presiden Singapura ketiga. Sebenarnya Devan Nair nak wujudkan nama sama PAP Malaysia tetapi ditolak oleh Pendaftar Pertubuhan sebab PAP dah ada di Singapura dan akan mengelirukan orang ramai, sebab itulah dijenamakan sebagai DAP.
Selepas Devan Nair menjadi Presiden Singapura ketiga dan meletak jawatan sebagai Ketua Setiausaha DAP, DAP diketuai oleh Goh Hock Guan pada 30 Julai 1967 sebelum digantikan oleh Lim Kit Siang pada 1 Oktober 1969.
