Menteri Besar Selangor, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim mengusulkan kepada Majlis Pimpinan Pusat (MPP) PKR supaya ADUN Pelabuhan Klang, Badrul Hisham Abdullah melepaskan jawatan wakil rakyat kawasan tersebut.
Menurut kenyataan pejabat menteri besar hari ini, kerajaan Selangor prihatin terhadap aduan penduduk di Pelabuhan Klang mengenai ketidakupayaan Badrul Hisham menjalankan kewajipan beliau sebagai wakil rakyat.
"Sejak surat tunjuk sebab dikeluarkan kepada beliau pada 20 Ogos 2009. Beliau tidak mengambil sebarang langkah untuk memperbaiki prestasi kerja beliau
"Dalam surat jawapannya. Badrul Hisham telah menyatakan kesudian untuk berjumpa dengan pimpinan negeri dan parti..
"Namun demikian beliau masih enggan berjumpa dengan pimpinan kerajaan negeri ataupun parti, menjawab panggilan telefon dan SMS, serta membuka semula Pusat Khidmat beliau untuk penduduk Pelabuhan Klang," kata kenyataan tersebut.
Berikutan itu, Khalid hari ini membuat satu usul kepada MPP PKR supaya Badrul Hisham meletakkan jawatan sebagai ADUN Pelabuhan Klang.
"Menteri besar juga akan menghantar satu delegasi untuk memaklumkan pendirian tersebut kepadanya dalam masa terdekat.
"Kerajaan Negeri tidak akan bertolak ansur dengan pemimpin yang tidak bertanggungjawab kerana mereka ini hanya akan menggagalkan usaha kerajaan negeri dalam meningkatkan taraf ekonomi dan sosial rakyat," kata kenyataan itu lagi.

PAS Selangor : Siasat Segera " Pembocor Rahsia "
PAS Selangor hari ini menggesa parti itu turut menyiasat pembocor "rahsia parti" kepada umum, selain isu kerajaan perpaduan yang dikaitkan dengan pesuruhjayanya Datuk Dr Hassan Ali.
Mesyuarat khas jawatankuasa pusat parti itu malam tadi memutuskan PAS Selangor dihadapkan kepada jawatankuasa disiplin berhubung dakwaan Dr Hassan masih terlibat dengan isu tersebut.
Menyokong keputusan mesyuarat khas itu, setiausaha perhubungan PAS negeri Mohd Khairuddin Othman turut mendesak jawatankuasa disiplin menyiasat dan mengambil tindakan terhadap mereka yang membuat tuduhan terhadapnya jika didapati ia tidak benar.
"Seluruh kepimpinan dan ahli PAS negeri bersedia untuk disiasat dan memberikan kerjasama sepenuhnya kepada jawatankuasa disiplin parti.
"Kami menyeru agar siasatan ini dilakukan dengan serta-merta bagi mengembalikan integriti seluruh ahli-ahli PAS di Selangor," katanya dalam satu kenyataan.
"Bagi memulihkan imej parti, PAS Selangor menggesa agar jawatankuasa disiplin parti dapat membuat penyiasatan secara menyeluruh dan membersihkan PAS daripada anasir yang mengganggu-gugat parti seperti mengambil tindakan yang tegas terhadap ahli-ahli yang mendedahkan rahsia parti kepada umum melalui saluran media dan blog."
Dihubungi Malaysiakini bagi mendapatkan penjelasan lanjut, Mohd Khairuddin berkata perkara yang dikelaskan sebagai rahsia itu termasuklah "apa yang terjadi dalam mesyuarat parti."
"Ia melibatkah ahli yang membocorkan apa yang berlaku dalam mesyuarat parti. Saya maksudkan mesyuarat badan perhubungan negeri, sebab ia adalah rahsia," katanya.
Ditanya sama ada "penuduh" yang dimaksudkan itu merupakan Mursyidul Am PAS Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat sendiri yang membangkitkan isu itu di blognya, Khairuddin berkata:
"Tidak. Kenyataan itu dibuat secara umum. Boleh jadi sesiapa sahaja yang membuat tuduhan."
Tindakan disiplin berhubung isu rundingan PAS-Umno, yang berlarutan lebih setahun sehingga mencetus konflik berpanjangan, dibuat susulan desakan tegas Nik Aziz untuk mengadakan muktamar khas.
Menulis seminggu lalu, tokoh besar PAS itu mendesak sedemikian untuk membincangkan "beberapa kerat pemimpin bermasalah", sehingga membawa kesan kemerosotan undi parti itu, seperti pada pilihan raya Bagan Pinang awal bulan ini.
Selain Dr Hassan, nama-nama yang disebut di Blog Tok Guru yang dianggap bermasalah itu termasuklah Timbalan Presiden PAS Nasharuddin Mat Isa dan Setiausaha Agungnya Datuk Mustafa Ali.
Berikut kenyataan penuh PAS Selangor:
PAS Selangor ingin merujuk kepada keputusan mesyuarat khas jawatankuasa kerja PAS pusat pada 28 Oktober 2009 di Pejabat Agung PAS.
Pendirian PAS Selangor adalah seperti berikut:
PAS Selangor mengalu-alukan kesediaan PAS pusat untuk menangani kemelut yang berlaku dalam PAS sebagaimana yang diputuskan dalam mesyuarat khas jawatankuasa kerja PAS pusat pada 28 Oktober 2009.
PAS Selangor juga menyambut baik keputusan untuk menolak EGM (mesyuarat agung khas) dan seterusnya menyelesaikan masalah dalaman melalui siasatan yang dilakukan oleh jawatankuasa disiplin parti.
Seluruh kepimpinan dan ahli PAS negeri Selangor bersedia untuk disiasat dan memberikan kerjasama sepenuhnya kepada jawatankuasa disiplin parti. Kami menyeru agar siasatan ini dilakukan dengan serta-merta bagi mengembalikan integriti seluruh ahli-ahli PAS di negeri Selangor.
Bagi memulihkan imej parti, PAS Selangor menggesa agar jawatankuasa disiplin parti dapat membuat penyiasatan secara menyeluruh dan membersihkan PAS daripada anasir yang mengganggu-gugat PAS seperti mengambil tindakan yang tegas terhadap ahli-ahli yang mendedahkan rahsia parti kepada umum melalui saluran media dan blog.
Bagi meninggikan prinsip-prinsip al-'adalah yang ditetapkan oleh Islam, PAS Selangor ingin menekankan jawatankuasa disiplin parti hendaklah juga menyiasat orang yang membuat tuduhan dan mengambil tindakan yang tegas kepada mereka sekiranya tuduhan tersebut tidak benar kerana mencetuskan suasana yang tidak stabil dalam parti dan seterusnya merosakkan imej parti.
Merujuk kepada beberapa isu yang dibangkitkan, kami ingin menegaskan bahawa ahli-ahli PAS Selangor di semua peringkat telah menyatakan sokongan yang tidak berbelah bahagi kepada pimpinan PAS negeri sebagaimana yang telah diputuskan melalui mesyuarat khas badan perhubungan PAS negeri Selangor yang bertarikh 27 September 2009.
PAS Selangor menyeru kepada semua ahli-ahli parti agar menghormati jawatankuasa disiplin parti di dalam menjalankan tugasnya dengan tidak membicarakan isu ini sehinggalah proses penyiasatan dan pendakwaan selesai.
PAS Selangor seterusnya menyeru kepada ahli-ahli PAS di Selangor agar bertenang dan membiarkan proses siasatan yang dilakukan oleh jawatankuasa disiplin parti selesai sepenuhnya. Semua ahli-ahli PAS di Selangor mestilah menyatakan taat setia yang tidak berbelah bahagi kepada kepimpinan YB Tuan Guru Presiden.

Cracks in Parti Keadilan Rakyat [ PKR ]
Cracks in the Parti Keadilan Rakyat leadership are deepening with the resignations of two key leaders in Sabah.
Besides this, there have also been reports in news portals and political
blogs about the purported resignation of PKR secretary-general Salehuddin Hashim, although he has denied this.
Salehuddin, it was reported, had sent a strongly-worded letter to PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
About two weeks ago, reports of Datuk Zaid Ibrahim’s intended six-month leave from the party sparked rumours of a crisis in the party leadership.
Yesterday, Sabah PKR vice-president Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan and supreme council member Christina Liew resigned from their posts.
They, however remain ordinary members.
Their decision followed the appointment of Ahmad Thamrin Jaini as the party’s new state chief at the weekend replacing vice-president Azmin Ali who supposedly
held the post in the face of dissent from local leaders.
Azmin had earlier said that his appointment was “temporary until we get the party here back on track” and that a reshuffle was on the cards.
Thamrin, who was the state liaison committee secretary, is based in Sungai Sibuga, the constituency held by Sabah Chief Minister and Sabah Barisan Nasional chief Datuk Seri Musa Aman.
Kitingan told Bernama that he had not ruled out the possibility of
rejoining Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), led by his elder brother Datuk Seri
Joseph Pairin Kitingan.
“This struggle is not about me but it is all about the people of Sabah,” he said, agreeing that other options included forming a new party or joining the Sabah Progressive Party.
Kitingan added that his resignation and that of Liew’s from their posts, would make many Keadilan members reconsider their position in the party.
He said he had lost confidence in the way Keadilan leaders “look at people in Sabah”, regarding them as followers instead of partners.
“I will now go down to the grassroots and seek their opinion on what I should do
next. Whatever I do it will be for the good of the people of Sabah,” Kitingan said.
Liew, who is a founding member of the party in Sabah, said the appointment of
Thamrin was the last straw in prompting her decision although earlier she was taken aback by a move that made her think deeply about her future.
“Three months ago while I was on holiday in Australia, I was replaced as the deputy state liaison chief by someone else who had joined the party just two years ago,” she said of Datuk Kong Hong Ming who now holds the post. “That was
a big surprise for me because as far as I know I was one of the first from the Chinese community to join Keadilan and to eventually build the people’s confidence in the party from strength to strength.
“I am the type of person who will pick up a piece of rubbish instead of talking about it but this is the way they treat me. I don’t want to be a puppet of
the powers that be in Kuala Lumpur because I have the right to equal partnership
based on merit.”
Liew said she would remain as a member of the party because she still believed in the party agenda to fight for fairness and transparency but said its leaders seemed to have deviated from their original struggles.
Former Sabah Keadilan secretary Kanul Gindol said the moves by Kitingan and
Liew were likely a “prelude” to their departure from Keadilan.
“There is talk he may form a new party or join SAPP or rejoin the BN, although I personally feel it is not likely to happen and he may favour either of the first two options,” said Kanul who was also the political secretary to Jeffrey before quitting the party.
In P u t r a j aya , PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin said the pair’s decision to quit must be respected. “We believe they have their own concerns and reasons to resign and we must respect it.”
Shamsul, however, noted that dissatisfied PKR leaders should use proper channels to air their grievances and not go through the media.
He expressed confidence that Anwar would be able to resolve the matter.
In Kuala Lumpur, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the resignations were expected.
“I expected this to happen a long time ago. The party (PKR) cannot survive as the leaders
in the party have their own interests,” he said while adding that members had lost faith in the party.

PAS, Look At The Big Picture
Honestly PAS, ask yourself, did you pay any attention to the outsiders' critics before TGNA's outburst? Perhaps some of you did, but I believe most of you discard those comments the next minute after you read it.
Some of you may be asking, why, why choose this moment for the outburst? As if there is not enough outsider condemnation of us every day after Bagan Pinang, now we have to deal with our own internal ramblings? But, is this a bad moment, a bad timing for such outburst? NO. Not at all.
This is exactly the perfect time that you will actually pay some attention to what people has to say because your arrogance was greatly shaken after your embarrassing lost in Bagan Pinang. If TGNA's outburst came after Permatang Pasir's victory, you guys would probably have openly asked for his retraction or resignation from party.
Understanding Nik Aziz's outburst
For those of you in PAS who find TGNA's latest outburst disgusting -- please ask yourself this question:
Who feels the most pain when a parent is forced to cane their own son? The parent? Or the son?
As a parent ourselves, we know pretty well that each stroke of rotan that strikes our son's buttock feels like a knife cutting through our heart -- just like the saying, "Hit on your flesh, pain in my heart." Unfortunately, most of the time, we have to accept the fact that our beloved son will not able to understand that the physical pain that he has to endure is way less than the emotional pain we have to suffer for caning him.
But, as a parent, we have to stay strong and do the right thing for our children even though it is painful for us to do so. Punishing or scolding our own child is always for the better good with a hope that our children will learn from their mistakes and excel in their life even when we are no longer around.
We certainly wish that our children will understand our pains and sacrifices later in life; but we really wouldn't mind if they don't, as long as they are on the right path to have an excellent life in the future.
I believe this is what TGNA as the 'parent of PAS' is feeling at the moment. To him, PAS's current leaders are his children, he wants them to be on right path to achieve what he could not over so many years -- for PAS to replace Barisan Nasional as the federal government.
Very likely that TGNA senses that PAS leaders (his children) are not paying attention to what people is grumbling about them on the ground. As he said it himself, "I hate people condemning my party and my president", just like how any parent will feel when they have to listen to teachers complaining away about their children in school.
We, as parents prefer ourselves to be the person punishing our own children rather than seeing our children being punished by others in the society. The same applies to TGNA. In order to wake 'his children' up, TGNA would rather reprimand PAS's leaders himself rather than seeing his party gets a rude awakening by losing the next election terribly.
At his age, I pity him because he was forced to take on the tough role and endures the immense emotional pain as being the bad person; to voice up against his own party top leaders. He knows his children are going to hate him for this outburst, but like what any parent would do -- he would rather sacrifice himself for the sake of saving his children's future.
So PAS, are you hurt now? I hope I am not too cruel to say that I hope that the 'pain' is now painful enough for you to finally accept some realities about the bad perception that you are suffering were due to your own doings.
The wrong message of Islam by PAS
A lot of PAS�s leaders are actually ustaz. Ustaz is a teacher � someone who supposed to be highly respectable, reputable and reliable in the society. But why PAS has yet to be the most respectable, reputable and reliable party that rakyat Malaysia can count on despite having so many teachers around?
Islam aims at making all individuals peace-loving to the ultimate extent. That is why Muslims are enjoined to greet one another by saying �Assalam-o-Alaikum� that is, peace be upon you. According to another saying of the Prophet, the best Islam is to greet everyone you come across, whether or not you are acquainted with the person. (Fathul-Bari 1/103).
In order to preserve the peace established by nature, from disruption, two important injunctions have been laid down by Islam. One at the individual level, stresses the exercise of patience, and the other, at the social level, forbids taking the offensive.
With that clear-cut objective of Islam, Islam supposes to be the religion everyone respect and feel comfortable with, because it brings peace, and peace is everyone's utmost priority in life. With so many ustazs in PAS, why hasn't this message being sent out successfully?
Why hasn't people feel comfortable about the message of Islam PAS is trying to send? Was it because PAS has been harping on the wrong issues thus sending the wrong signals about their version of Islam to us?
Did PAS realize that the message of Islam that we are getting from them were mainly about concerts, beers, interest of certain group of people and holier than thou attitude by imposing morale rights on others? Perhaps that was not the intended message PAS is trying to send, but can you blame us for not receiving the right messages?
Discipline your way of thinking -- think about the big picture
To some PAS leaders, "banning" seems to be the answer for a certain social disease. Is it really so? Lets take a look at an example below:
Assuming that a lot of students in your school are visiting cyber-cafes after school-hours very often. It is an unhealthy habit because it wastes their time and their parents hard-earned money unnecessarily and with the wrong friends' influence, there's a very high chance they will get involved in smoking, drugs, sex and gambling.
As a teacher, what will you do to curb those social ills?
a. Perhaps you think of writing a letter to the local authorities to close down those cyber-cafes. But, how long do you think the idea of banning those legal cyber-cafes will work? Certainly not very long! By banning those legal cyber-cafes without educating your students, soon your students will still find their way to visit those illegal ones which make things even worse in the end.
b. Or you choose to educate them about their responsibilities as a student and a filial child to their parents -- to let them know that they are hurting their parents' pocket and heart by visiting cyber-cafes?
c. Or perhaps you lead the way to keep your students occupied after school hours to let them realize that there are better things to do rather than visiting cyber-cafes?
It is rather obvious, (b) and (c) is the more effective way for curbing social ills rather than the "banning" method in (a). By adopting (b) and (c), at the end of the day, your students will have more self-discipline and maturity to avoid cyber-cafes because they know they can gain so much more doing other things in their free time.
Banning those cyber-cafes will not stop your students from looking for them. The only way to make them stop looking for cyber-cafes is through education (b) and leading by example (c).
Yes, in the end, most likely those cyber-cafes will still exist but it doesn�t matter anymore as your students are being educated to avoid them anyway. And the best prize is (by God's willing), hopefully those cyber-cafes will cease operating because there are not enough customers to maintain their businesses. Isn't this the best solution to this scenario and the best way to teach your students?
Using the analogy above, instead of asking for beers to be banned in convenient stores, PAS should strive for the day the convenient stores stop selling beers on their own due to poor sales because the people realizes that it is a thing they can live better without. Likewise, instead of banning concerts, PAS should strive for the day, they no longer need to worry about its people getting influenced easily by hedonism culture from the West while watching concert, if that's their real concern about Western artist's concerts.
Yes PAS, I know it is rather hard to change the way you think. To change the way you think after so many years takes a lot of discipline on your mind.
But being discipline is not suppose to be an issue for you, because God has trained you to be discipline since young -- on the day you started praying to him. To pray 5 times a day without miss requires the greatest discipline from one's heart. You are well-trained to be the most discipline person, and now you just need to use that discipline to train your thoughts to start looking at the bigger picture ....
There's no denying 'changing the way you think' takes a lot of patience to get it to succeed. But do keep in mind that patience pays in the end according to Islam. The Qur�an says: Surely the patient will be paid their wages in full without measure. (39:10) -- which is why Islam repeatedly enjoins Muslims to tread the path of patience.
PAS, once you are able to change the way you think, you will find that instead of focusing those petty things to show your Islamic credentials -- you will start to aim for the day where all Malaysians feeling comfortable, peaceful, satisfy and safe under your Islamic leadership and caring governing style -- The day where people find every PAS leaders capable of being their model and example for their children to follow -- The day where people find PAS as the reliable protector of all Malaysian, the most trustworthy uncorrupted political party to vote for � which is the highest recognition from the rakyat of your Islamic credentials.
When the day comes, do you think we will have any objection when you say beer or concert is bad for us?

a. Perhaps you think of writing a letter to the local authorities to close down those cyber-cafes. But, how long do you think the idea of banning those legal cyber-cafes will work? Certainly not very long! By banning those legal cyber-cafes without educating your students, soon your students will still find their way to visit those illegal ones which make things even worse in the end.
b. Or you choose to educate them about their responsibilities as a student and a filial child to their parents -- to let them know that they are hurting their parents' pocket and heart by visiting cyber-cafes?
c. Or perhaps you lead the way to keep your students occupied after school hours to let them realize that there are better things to do rather than visiting cyber-cafes?
It is rather obvious, (b) and (c) is the more effective way for curbing social ills rather than the "banning" method in (a). By adopting (b) and (c), at the end of the day, your students will have more self-discipline and maturity to avoid cyber-cafes because they know they can gain so much more doing other things in their free time.
Banning those cyber-cafes will not stop your students from looking for them. The only way to make them stop looking for cyber-cafes is through education (b) and leading by example (c).
Yes, in the end, most likely those cyber-cafes will still exist but it doesn�t matter anymore as your students are being educated to avoid them anyway. And the best prize is (by God's willing), hopefully those cyber-cafes will cease operating because there are not enough customers to maintain their businesses. Isn't this the best solution to this scenario and the best way to teach your students?
Using the analogy above, instead of asking for beers to be banned in convenient stores, PAS should strive for the day the convenient stores stop selling beers on their own due to poor sales because the people realizes that it is a thing they can live better without. Likewise, instead of banning concerts, PAS should strive for the day, they no longer need to worry about its people getting influenced easily by hedonism culture from the West while watching concert, if that's their real concern about Western artist's concerts.
Yes PAS, I know it is rather hard to change the way you think. To change the way you think after so many years takes a lot of discipline on your mind.
But being discipline is not suppose to be an issue for you, because God has trained you to be discipline since young -- on the day you started praying to him. To pray 5 times a day without miss requires the greatest discipline from one's heart. You are well-trained to be the most discipline person, and now you just need to use that discipline to train your thoughts to start looking at the bigger picture ....
There's no denying 'changing the way you think' takes a lot of patience to get it to succeed. But do keep in mind that patience pays in the end according to Islam. The Qur�an says: Surely the patient will be paid their wages in full without measure. (39:10) -- which is why Islam repeatedly enjoins Muslims to tread the path of patience.
PAS, once you are able to change the way you think, you will find that instead of focusing those petty things to show your Islamic credentials -- you will start to aim for the day where all Malaysians feeling comfortable, peaceful, satisfy and safe under your Islamic leadership and caring governing style -- The day where people find every PAS leaders capable of being their model and example for their children to follow -- The day where people find PAS as the reliable protector of all Malaysian, the most trustworthy uncorrupted political party to vote for � which is the highest recognition from the rakyat of your Islamic credentials.
When the day comes, do you think we will have any objection when you say beer or concert is bad for us?
