BN tawan semula kawasan Hulu Selangor…..

Barisan Nasional (BN) menawan semula kerusi Parlimen Hulu Selangor apabila calonnya P.Kamalanathan menewaskan calon PKR Datuk Zaid Ibrahim.

Walaupun pada peringkat awal pengiraan undi memihak kepada calon parti pembangkang… calon BN mula mendahului selesa pada jam 8.45 malam dengan 1,035 undi di depan setelah 121 daripada 137 peti undi dibuka.

Ketika itu, sudah tidak kedengaran lagi jerit pekik penyokong pembangkang yang berhimpun di Stadium Kuala Kubu Bharu yang mengikuti proses pengiraan melalui skrin besar.

Stadium itu terletak disebelah pusat penjumlah undi di Dewan Serbaguna Kuala Kubu Bharu.

Pada jam 9.10 malam, angka rasmi skrin SPR menyiarkan Kamalanathan menang dengan majoriti 1,725 undi.

Beliau perolehi 24,997 undi manakala Zaid pula 23,272 undi.

Kamalanathan, Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak dan Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin serta pemimpin BN berada di pusat berkenaan ketika Pengurus Pilihanraya mengumumkan kemenangan Kamalanathan.

Turut hadir Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, Presiden MIC Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu, Presiden MCA Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, Presiden Gerakan Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon, Presiden Parti Progresif Penduduk Datuk M. Kayveas dan para pemimpin parti.

Sejak pilihan raya umum 2008, sebanyak 10 pilihan raya kecil diadakan, dengan BN memenangi tiga daripadanya, termasuk kemenangan kerusi Parlimen Hulu Selangor malam ini yang sangat penting bagi mendapatkan kembali keyakinan dan sokongan rakyat.

Ia merupakan kemenangan bermakna bagi BN, terutamanya kepada Najib yang semasa berkempen menyatakan bahawa pilihan raya kecil itu bukan sahaja untuk memilih seorang Anggota Parlimen tetapi merupakan pungutan suara bagi hala tuju baru negara.

Najib sendiri turut turun berkempen sebaik sahaja kembali ke tanah air selepas melakukan lawatan luar negara, pergi ke kampung-kampung, bandar, kawasan rancangan Felda, bersama timbalannya Muhyidin yang saban hari berada di Hulu Selangor sejak penamaan calon pada 17 April.

Pemimpin muda PKR kecewa diatas pencalonan Zaid – Khairy

Hulu Selangor, 19 April – Ketua Pergerakan Pemuda UMNO, Khairy Jamaluddin berkata, pemilihan Zaid dibuat semata-mata untuk menarik sokongan pengundi di kawasan tersebut dengan mengenepikan soal kepentingan parti.

“Ada yang tidak senang dengan pemilihan Zaid antaranya Naib Presiden PKR, Mohd. Azmin Ali dan Ketua Pemudanya, Shamsul Iskandar Akin.

“Mungkin Mohd. Azmin bimbang dengan peranan Zaid yang boleh menggugat kedudukannya apabila dilantik sebagai ahli Parlimen jika beliau menang pilihan raya itu nanti”.

Khairy Jamaluddin meminta parti pembangkang khususnya Ketua Umum mereka, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim mencermin diri dari terus menunding jari mencari kesalahan orang lain bagi menutup kepincangan berterusan parti itu.

Tegasnya selepas satu demi satu pemimpin PKR bertindak keluar parti sudah pasti ada sesuatu yang tidak kena pada parti tersebut terutama kepimpinan Anwar sendiri.

“Ini sebenarnya krisis kepimpinan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim…ini bukan kerja UMNO. Kalau ada kelemahan pada kita jangan kita buat tuding jari pada orang lain…kita tak lihat kelemahan diri kita sendiri.

“Saya nak minta pembangkang, Anwar cerminkan diri dulu…tengok apa kelemahan yang ada pada beliau”

Khairy berkata demikian sebagai mengulas tindakan Bendahari PKR Hulu Selangor, Datuk Dr Halili Rahmat yang meninggalkan parti berkenaan dan menyertai UMNO.

Bekas doktor peribadi, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim itu membuat keputusan untuk meninggalkan PKR kerana parti yang diasaskannya bersama-sama Anwar pada pada 1999, sudah hilang arah dan jauh terpesong daripada tujuan asal.

Mengenai dakwaan pemimpin pembangkang kononnya Dr Halili kecewa kerana tidak dipilih sebagai calon di Hulu Selangor, Khairy berkata ini bukan kali pertama beliau tidak dipilih sebagai calon.

“Dr Halili anak tempatan, dia tinggal di sini, ada pengaruh…terpulang pada beliau untuk minta penyokongnya sokong BN.

“Malah saya turut menerima maklumat ramai lagi ahli PKR khususnya golongan muda yang turut kecewa dengan kepimpinan parti yang akan menyokong BN dalam pilihanraya nanti,” ujarnya.

New UMNO and New Media

The Malaysian political cyberspace used to be dominated, in presence, by pro-opposition writers and commenters. It is hardly the case anymore, but BN – consisting mostly of UMNO – bloggers are still not making the right waves to win the battle.

It is quite likely that there are far more pro-UMNO blogs than there are pro-Pakatan. Mushrooming after the 12th General Elections where Internet media proved to be a crucial factor in the poor showing by Barisan Nasional, these blogs become mouthpieces of the party and provide a platform for otherwise localized and low-level members of the party to step up to the national stage. But theirs is a story akin to a large mob going into a war with the wrong weapons, wrong strategy, wrong trickery and an appalling understanding of what the terrain demands.

We all know how important blogs and Internet chatter are, especially in Malaysia where mainstream media is viewed with as much credibility and independence from Authority as a Roman Town Crier. Whilst broadband penetration still leaves much to be desired, many middle class, young professionals, students - many of whom have Internet access – also influence their family members when they return to their hometowns to vote. Hence, the importance of winning the cyber war.

Specifically, pro-UMNO blogs – and perhaps most forms of communications media from UMNO, the Prime Minister’s proclamations excluded – send out the wrong message and go about it in such a way that drive voters away, rather than attract them.

What makes this most frustrating is the fact that the Prime Minister who is also UMNO President has set about a very good and bankable message. Actions notwithstanding, the PM is saying all the right things and appearing calm, steady and winning over Malaysians with his style and demeanor that suggest he knows what he is doing. The truth is that many Malaysians, indeed many humans, vote very much based on perception and what appears to be the case – not necessarily what actually is. But UMNO is failing to replicate this message in cyberspace; in fact in many cases they appear to be completely ignoring it. Herein lies a major failing.

The principal UMNO message today is 1Malaysia, and an inclusive UMNO as outlined by the Prime Minister during the last UMNO General Assembly. All party mouthpieces should make an effort to appropriate this national(ist) agenda and move away from the obsession with cheap,
sensationalist putdowns coupled with unbridled chest-thumping general remarks about the Malay agenda.

These may put give a perverted sense of satisfaction as you go to bed – no better feeling than after baking a case on why Anwar is undoubtedly a Jew-agent – but do nothing to win over the undecideds. And not for nothing, polls show that most undecided voters are Malays.

Instead, they must fall in line and repeat the message of unity and acceptance endowed within the spirit of 1Malaysia, as well as embrace the challenge for Malay achievement and success so apparent in the New Economic Model. The party rank and file can no longer play this devilish part of vowing support to the PM’s reform agenda whilst acting the precise opposite. After all, isn’t this new approach of moderation, acceptance, respect, co-existence and humility not so new after all? Aren’t these the very values that Malays often pride themselves with when they say “Melayu bangsa yang bersopan-santun dan beradab” despite often showcasing little of the above? When the people cried for UMNO to change, it was more than simply a change in leadership or image; it was also a change in the party message itself. The most affable salesman of defected goods is still a salesman of defected goods.

Party message aside, UMNO bloggers need to understand that cyberspace is not a place where you simply spew out your message without tact, taste or facts. With politics, the target audience should never be the political players on either side of the fence. Whilst the topics and engagements will often be with the opposition, the judge is always the people whose yardstick is always outside the partisan bubble in which these skirmishes occur. Thus, it is not about putdowns or embarrassing the opponent; much less is it about persuading him that he is wrong because that would be most futile. Instead, it is about convincing the neutral audience with facts, persuasion and keeping them interested with witty intelligence. The most accomplished performer – because politics is everywhere an art – will tell you to respect your audience in order to gain theirs.

Sadly, few of the appointed mouthpieces in UMNO are doing a good enough job engaging the fence-sitters with the right message (although we already have it!) and right approach. The party’s information chiefs and point-men, both in cyber space and in traditional media, do not appear to understand what this new political climate asks of them. And they better overcome that first obstacle of denial quickly, if we are to stand a chance at winning the young votes come next GE. Win the GE we still might, but are we paradoxically about to do it by setting a pattern that will guarantee future losses as newer, post-Merdeka generations rapidly replace older ones? Ponder. And weep.
