Rohaizat didn't tell us his past, says Umno division chief

GEORGE TOWN: Permatang Pauh Umno division chief Datuk Abdul Jalil Abdul Majid said the Barisan Nasional candidate for Permatang Pasir Rohaizat Othman should have been honest with party leaders about his background and the issues surrounding his candidacy.

"If he had informed me (about all this), I would have objected to his candidacy ... instead, he chose to keep the truth to himself.

"He was not honest and has put Umno and the BN in a bad light."

Jalil said the division should, therefore, not be blamed for the Barisan Nasional's defeat in the Permatang Pasir state by-election on Tuesday.

In this regard, the division would also review Rohaizat's position as the Permatang Pauh division secretary, he said.

Jalil also pointed out that Rohaizat's candidacy was not decided by the division leaders.

He said the division had come under fire from critics following Rohaizat's defeat in the by-election.

"We have been accused of misleading the national leadership into consenting to Rohaizat's candidacy but this is a lie."

Rohaizat lost to Pas' Mohd Salleh Man with a 4,551-vote majority in the by-election.

He obtained 5,067 votes compared to Mohd Salleh's 9.618 votes.

Throughout the campaign period, Pas relentlessly attacked Rohaizat for being disbarred by the Bar Council and also on his personal life.

Jalil said the division comprised 37 committee members, including him.

"However, I only submitted 36 names to the Umno national leadership for consideration.

"I excluded myself as I had made it known right from the start that I was not interested in contesting the by-election."

Jalil added that at no time was he aware of the issues surrounding Rohaizat.

"He never said anything to any of us and we thought he was clean. Also, we did not hear anything bad about him before this.

"Do you think I would jump into a well if I knew it was there in the first place?" - NST

Susahnya jadi Isteri Ketua Dewan Ulama Pas Perlis

Ustazah dakwa keinginan seks suami cukup tinggi KANGAR 24 Mac - Seorang ustazah mendakwa suaminya, bekas Ketua Dewan Ulama Pas Perlis, Abdul Rashid Rahman lebih mengutamakan kepuasan seks sendiri tanpa mempedulikan kesihatan dirinya yang ketika itu menderita kesakitan akibat bisul di punggung. Dakwaan tersebut dibuat oleh Siti Rosmala Mohamed, 38, ketika memberikan keterangannya selaku pemohon yang memfailkan permohonan cerai secara fasakh pada 15 Februari 2008 terhadap Abdul Rashid, 60. Siti Rosmala memberikan keterangan tersebut di hadapan Hakim Syarie, Mohd. Zaidi Abdullah di Mahkamah Rendah Syariah di sini. Ibu kepada tiga anak itu turut mendakwa, walaupun mereka sering bergaduh sehingga tidak bertegur sapa lebih seminggu, namun suami sering kali memaksanya melakukan hubungan seks. "Walaupun seminggu tidak bercakap, selepas saya dimarahi atau dipukul namun dalam soal nafkah batin (hubungan seks), saya mesti berikan biarpun terpaksa," dakwa Siti Rosmala....

Anwar Ibrahim dan One-Zionis

John D Sullivan, Pengarah Eksekutif CIPE Andainya kita terima kononnya KERAJAAN TERSILAP dan terambik supplier yang ada kaitan dengan Israeli dan terguna firma Public Relation Amerika yang ada pejabat di Tel Aviv. Kesilapan supplier PDRM adalah sikap Pak Lah yang leka dan cuai. Sekarang sudah tidak ada masaalah itu. Manakala perkhidmatan APCO tak ada kena mengena dengan geoglobal politics tetapi advisory dalam hal public relation termasuk online media. Dalam dua2 hal ini, kerajaan membayar service dan peralatan. Kita tentukan apa yang kita mahu dari perkhidmatan yang kita mahu. Firma yang kononnya Yahudi bukan penentunya dan mengarah kita.

Ucapan kontroversi YB Wee Choo Keong pada 29/3/2010

Datuk Yang di-Pertua, FITNAH MENFITNAH Saya menyokong seratus peratus atas Titah Ucapan Seri Banginda dan izinkan saya memetik: “Beta juga dukacita kerana masih terdapat banyak perbuatan fitnah, pembohongandan putar belit terutamanya dalam media baru. Semua yang terlibat hendaklah sedar perbuatan ini tidak diterima oleh mana-mana agama. Beta menyeru pihak berkenaan menghentikan perbuatan tidak bertanggungjawab tersebut. Dismaping itu, pihak berkuasa hendaklah mengambil tindakan keras terhadap pihak-pihak yang terbabit". Saya tidak berniat membahas mengenai dengan perkara ini tetapi saya tidak boleh sabar lagi.
