Muhyiddin hints at running for Gambir state seat
Well, of course the follow up story is this
Johor BN determines to ensure Muhyiddin's defeat
Typical Khaled Nordin's statement.
Anyway, I think Muhyiddin's possible move to Gambir has the same reasoning as my thoughts in my last post
Yup, if Muhyiddin really decides to contest that state seat, then it's an obvious move to prepare himself to be the first Pakatan Harapan menteri besar of Johor.
As for the parliament seat he said he's contesting, I'm quite sure that he will defend Pagoh.
There were talks that he's to contest Muar which BN is holding by a slim majority in 2013 but that one was given to the boy Syed Saddiq.
I doubt Muhyiddin will risk going to another parliamentary constituency where his chances of winning are not so reassuring.
Back to that Gambir seat, it should be noted that in 2013, Johor MIC chief M. Asojan received 8,705 votes (46.6 per cent) to win by a razor thin majority of 310 against the then Johor Pas chief Mahfodz Mohamed who received 8,395 votes (44.9 per cent) and two independant candidates. At that time, Gambir had 21,382 voters consisting Malays (55 per cent) Chinese (40 per cent) and Indians (4 per cent).
In the previous general election in 2008, Asojan had won in Gambir by a majority of 2,463 after he received 8,190 votes (58.8 per cent) as compared to Pas candidate Kasim Ibrahim who received 5,727 votes (41.1 per cent). That year, Gambir had 18,724 voters with almost the same racial demographic as in 2013.
So, I think if Muhyiddin is really going to Gambir against Asojan, his chances of winning are actually quite good.
As it goes, even if Pakatan fails to capture Putrajaya but captures Johor, Muhyiddin can become the state's menteri besar again.
That would be quite something, I think.
For instance, I do wonder how will be the relations between a Pakatan state government led by Muhyiddin and the Johor palace.
For context, read this,
A tale of two former MBs
That would be awkward, I think.
Well, whatever it is, I still think the chances of Pakatan capturing Johor are quite slim. As I wrote previously, I only gave at most 35 per cent of that happening.
Bear in mind that in 2013, about 83 per cent of Malays who voted in Johor sided with BN. This has always been the case in Johor, which is the Umno's tiang seri.
However, I think Johor BN should not rest on its laurels and instead go head on against the Pakatan threat.
Well, the best should be, in my humble opinion, for Khaled himself to go against Muhyiddin in Gambir.
Seriously okay.
After all, the guy said Johor BN will ensure Muhyiddin's defeat.
What better way than he himself defeating Muhyiddin, right?
Hey, if former MB TS Abdul Ghani Othman can face off with DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang in the Chinese majority Gelang Patah in 2013, surely Khaled can do the same with Muhyiddin this time. At least it would be a more even fight as Gambir is a Malay majority constituency.
If Ghani can be so brave to lead the charge at the frontline, surely Khaled can do the same instead of contesting a safe seat.
Well, I really hope Khaled is brave too.
Really.
Interestingly, Gambir is part of Ledang, which Umno division used to be headed by Ghani.
Hmmm....unless Khaled wants to get Ghani out of retirement to fight Muhyiddin there for him....interesting isn't it?
That's a possibility, right?

Hmmm....I don't think so. That's not going to happen.
Ghani may even get angry with me for suggesting it.
Sorry Datuk Ghani.
I''m just kidding a bit on that part, okay.
Well, I still prefer Khaled to fight Muhyiddin in Gambir, anyway.
That would be a real macho fight for the Johor MB seat, don't you think?
Whatever it is, I think this potential Muhyiddin versus Khaled in Gambir may even eclipse that fight at
This build up for the Battle of Johor is getting very interesting indeed.
誠正勤樸??? for someone supporting BN??? That's an oxymoron!
ReplyDeleteThere is no such thing as ‘macho’ and bravery when it comes to BN and its leaders lately Annie. On stage in front of their people, they talked tough as if they’re so strong and invincibles but in reality they’s just bunch of cowards.
ReplyDeleteJust take a look at the self-confessed Bugis warrior who talked big and ridiculed other parties but refused to register PH as official coalition and deregistered PPBM a day before dissolving parliament. That is not an action of a warrior isn’t it?
Lately, they’re overly cautious to make their next moves. Procrastinating and always waiting untill last minutes to make a decision. Waiting other people to reveal their cards before revealing theirs. This is not a trait of a ‘macho’ warrior. That is cowardice.
BN are always cautious and afraid what PH gonna do next. With Mahathir at the helm, PH is always full of iniatives.
Famous with “ a thousand iniatives a minute” catchphrase in the 80’s, Mahathir brought discipline and vision to the opposition coalition. And this very unsettling to Pendekar Bugis. The man of action versus the man who dithering in making decision.
The fact that they always waited for PH to make the first moves showed the guy himself is clueless what to do next. Always on the look out of what PH have in store so every move would give maximum advantage to their side.
Now they’re anxious to reveal their election candidates. Prefering to wait until PH have finished revealing theirs. We probably get to see their list probably on the eve of nomination date.
With the power of incumbency, each move and action perfectly planned and choreographed right down to details as to ensure maximum advantage to ruling coalition; regardless of damages inflicted and prevailing public opinion. They’re not afraid to play dirty if that what it takes to win the elections.

BISMILLAHHIRAHMANIRRAHHIM.
KEBENARAN ITU PAHIT!
Kita semua sedia maklum tentang penyelewengan yang telah dilakukan oleh orang yang dipertanggungjawabkan untuk menjaga 1MDB.
Ketika skandal ini mula meletus di dalam tahun 2014, tidak ada siapa yang menyangka bahawa Najib Razak tergamak membiarkan 1MDB menyeleweng dari objektif asas pertubuhannya.
Ramai seperti tidak percaya bahawa berbillion-billion ringgit telah disalurkan ke dalam akaun syarikat Jho Low bernama Good Star ketika itu.
Pada mulanya Najib Razak memuji-muji 1MDB. Tetapi tidak mampu untuk menipu lebih lama, dia akhirnya mengaku bahawa model perniagaan 1MDB sebenarnya umpama angan angan Mat Jenin sebab itu 1MDB gagal.
Semua ini diburukkan lagi apabila siasatan oleh pihak berkuasa mendapati Najib Razak menerima sekurang-kurangnya RM2.6 billion di dalam akaun peribadinya. Tidak pernah dalam sejarah dunia seorang pemimpin dengan selamba menerima wang sebanyak itu secara peribadi.
Dengan muka tidak malu, dia pada mulanya tidak mengaku menerima. Kemudian apabila bukti terpampang di peringkat umum, dia menukar cerita mengatakan itu hanya derma dari Arab Saudi.
Tidak pula dia memberitahu kita bagaimana dia membelanjakan wang itu.
Tidak juga dia memanggil pihak audit untuk memberi keyakinan kepada kita bahawa dia tidak menggunakan waima satu sen pun dari duit tersebut untuk kegunaan peribadi.
Yang nyata cerita derma itu semua tidak benar sama sekali. Oleh kerana penyaluran wang haram itu dilakukan melalui bank-bank luar negara, maka pihak berkuasa luar negara telah menyiasat penyelewengan ini di bawah akta penggubahan wang haram.
Siasatan demi siasatan dilakukan dan hasilnya, dua pihak, iaitu Jabatan Peguam Negara di Amerika Syarikat dan Jabatan Peguam Negara di Switzerland telah mengemukakan bukti untuk dihadapkan mereka yang menyeleweng itu ke mahkamah.
Hanya siasatan di Malaysia sahaja diberhentikan. Ini kerana mereka yang menggepalainya terdiri dari penyokong tegar Najib Razak.
Mereka tidak berkecuali dan tidak amanah di dalam melakukan kerja mereka. Peguam Negara Malaysia akhirnya berkata tiada kes dan Najib Razak tidak perlu dihadapkan di mahkamah di sini.
Kita diketawakan oleh dunia kerana menyimpan pemimpin-pemimpin yang tiada integriti dan tidak amanah.
Apabila seseorang mengkritik secara lantang, dia ditangkap polis. Apabila ingin bertanya tentang 1MDB di Parlimen sekalipun, dihalang oleh Tuan Speaker yang kini boleh dikategorikan sebagai keldai Najib.
Namun begitu, kebenaran tidak mungkin dapat dilindung. Bangkai gajah tidak mungkin dapat ditutup dengan nyanyian sha la la la.
Pemerintah yang munafik tidak mungkin dapat hidup bahagia selamanya.
Di dalam sidang akhbar Julai lepas, pasukan penyiasat ini berjanji ingin memulangkan semula wang tersebut ke rakyat Malaysia dan mendedahkan dan menangkap dalang-dalang yang terlibat.
Mereka yang mencuri duit rakyat akan dikenakan tindakan.
Di bawah adalah senarai harta yang disita oleh Kerajaan Amerika Syarikat kerana menggunakan wang haram dari 1MDB.
Aset-aset ini tidak boleh digunakan oleh kroni-kroni Najib Razak lagi dan segala pendapatan yang dijana oleh aset-aset ini akan dirampas.

Muhyiddin as the next Johor's MB is good for Johorean and Malaysian as a whole. He should be the best MB to arrest and alleviate the over-zealous sales of state land and homes, freehold to foreigners.
ReplyDeleteIf KN is in a different party, everything will be easy for him.
DeleteHe is now caught between a bad party or more correctly bad boss, and good voters who really want him to be their MB. pity him really.
In addition to that, the truth is, Khalid, Ghani and Muhyiddin they are not being enemies to each other. They are not in a rooted adversary. They are one, as far as their struggle, party principium, as Johoreans and shared history are concerned.
DeleteThey still bear many distinctive ruling opinions. They have many things in common in relation to bangsa Johor. They still share the same ideal and expression. Their engagement of being friends, associates, and shared experiences in an institutionalized Umno have justified their friendship, comradeship and “kampongship”.
They are purportedly synonymous in the widest sense with idea and notion, and together they have shared on the same political and non-political platforms for decades.
For these reasons no matter who wins Johrean, will still be in spirit, in existence of Bangsa Johor.
We Johreans are politically matured commonality. We know how to stay firmed in our beliefs, principles of high values.
We have to fight against the spells of ignorance and arrogance. Our struggle is not about politics anymore, it’s beyond politics, a way way beyond politics.
It is to harmoniously defend and protect our beloved Tanah Air especially Johor from the notorious kleptomaniac and the covetous leaders who justify their means to destroy our democratic way of life and values, and bagged our national wealth.
We are all minded to protect Malaysia 🇲🇾 from those who stood above the law, disrespect for the rule of law and Peoples’ Democracy, individuals and collective societal freedom.
The is the meaning of being Johorean.

DeleteI do agree with you.
I am a Johorean myself.
Even though I have lived outside Johor for the past 37 years, I still consider myself as a Johorean.
You can take me out of Johor but you can never take Johor out of me.

Annie,
ReplyDeleteKhaled won’t go to Gambir.
They said that Najib had asked him to contest Pasir Gudang because that Kutty of a MP is going to lose if Kutty would stay put there.
So Khaled is going for Federal and State seats together.
They say that now any major decision and land matters involving State must get blessings first had and obtained from Palace. I wonder how much the Palace would involve as far as BN’s candidates are concerned. May be Palace can override Najib and ask Khaled to contest in Gambir instead?
That would be more interesting and proper, because, as a people-loving Palace, shouldn’t it be more becoming to let Bangsa Johor choose who should be their next MB?
If that happens, you will see the super cars of Khaled supporters from JB and KL and UK shuttling around Gunung Ledang along with the Ferraris of Bukit Gambir Ah Longs and that truly is the sign of PROSPERITY OF JOHOR.
Who needs the PRC anyway?

Who wins or who loses, lets just wait until after nomination day. Some may even lose on or before nomination day.
ReplyDeleteApa akan jadi selepas Barisan Nasional jatuh?
ReplyDeleteJawapan:
Malaysia akan berubah menjadi lebih 'cargas' dan berdaya saing. Nama Malaysia di peringkat antarabangsa akan dibersihkan segera.
Menteri2, penjawat awam, cybertrooper pendedak yang bersekongkol dengan MO1 dan penyebar berita palsu akan ditangkap, didakwa dan dipenjarakan. Masalah 1MDB akan dibersihkan.
Penjawat Awam akan diperkasa tanpa campur tangan politikus umno lagi. Pemecahan sistem 'executive, legislative & judiciary' akan diperkuatkan.
Syarikat GLC akan diaudit dan pelaburan2 sampah seperti pelaburan lombong arang batu di Mongolia akan ditarik balik. Punca-punca kerugian akan disiasat dan yang pecah amanah akan didakwa.
Ekonomi negara akan berkembang pesat, Malaysia kembali menjadi Macan Asia.
Pasaran saham dan nilai Ringgit akan meningkat kerana kepercayaan tinggi pelabur asing.
Gabungan parti Pakatan Harapan akan melaksanakan sistem pentadbiran berdasarkan "Competency, Accountability & Transparency" (SELCAT).
Proses perjalanan kerajaan akan berjalan seperti biasa dalam tempoh 'adjustment' dengan pengalaman luas Tun Dr Mahathir, Mukhriz Mahathir, Muhyiddin Yassin, dan ramai anggota parlimen Pakatan Harapan yang berpengalaman dan berkelayakan tinggi.
Kuota Bumiputra dan dana khusus kepada agama persekutuan akan diperkasa tanpa perlu lagi melalui birokrasi ketua cawangan umno, ketua bahagian umno dan terbuka bagi yang layak (MARA, Jakim, Halal Corp, Tekun etc).

Kesan paling awal yang paling awal, jika PH menang, adalah nilai ringgit akan kembali mengukuh berbanding Rupiah & Baht. Bandingan dengan USD, seperti RTM & TV3 kerap unjurkan, tidak berapa sesuai jika Trump sengaja menurun nilainya demi kelebihan dalam persaingan dagang dengan China.
Jadinya, Kerajaan PH mesti mengarah RTM & TV3 menghebahkan kepada Rakyat secara jujur seperti dahulu, supaya membuat perbandingan semasa nilai Ringgit dengan matawang serantau untuk menunjukkan prestasi sebenar. Bukan hanya buat banding untuk golongan elit yang kerap keluar Negara seperti USD, Pound, Euro, Yen dan Renmimbi.
"Proses perjalanan kerajaan akan berjalan seperti biasa dalam tempoh 'adjustment' dengan pengalaman luas Tun Dr Mahathir, Mukhriz Mahathir, Muhyiddin Yassin, dan ramai anggota parlimen Pakatan Harapan yang berpengalaman dan berkelayakan tinggi."
Ehmmm... ni mesti penyokong Bersatu. Nampak macam nak jadi taiko atau nak ganti UMNO-Najib pulak. Lain kali, boh la nama pemimpin lain dari PKR, DAP & Amanah juga. Ataupun, jangan boh nama langsung untuk jaga hati penyokong party-party yang lain.
