Semalam, Perak Today menyiarkan satu artikel didalam Bahasa Inggeris yang bertajuk 

“Kelantan Land Issue: PAS Supporters Fail To Understand Between Letter Of Support And Letter To Transfer Land”

Perkara yang sama diulang-ulang walaupun sudah jelas satu pembohongan.

The ‘gift’ given by PAS government to the Perak DAP leader is said so that PAS could put Adun Pasir Panjang, Datuk Seri Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin as Perak Chief Minister at the time.

Aku dah bagi tau, perlantikan Nizar sebagai MB dibuat oleh Raja Nazrin. Ada lagi satu perkara yang aku tak pernah cerita.

Perlantikan Menteri Besar selepas PRU 12 sebenarnya menemui jalan buntu. Raja Nazrin meminta SATU nama dari Pakatan Rakyat untuk dilantik menjadi MB tapi setiap parti menghantar calon masing-masing untuk jadi MB. PKR menghantar nama Jamaludin, DAP menghantar nama Ngeh (ada hati juga Ngeh nak jadi MB..he.he), manakala PAS menghantar nama Nizar.

Raja Nazrin memerintahkan ketiga-tiga mereka mengadap dan ketiga-tiga wakil PR ini tidak dapat memberikan persetujuan tentang satu nama yang diminta. Masing-masing nak jadi MB. Akhirnya, ketiga-tiga mereka menyerahkan kepada Raja Nazrin untuk membuat keputusan.

Bila Raja Nazrin memutuskan untuk memilih Nizar, Jamal dan Ngeh cuba membantah tapi dimarahi oleh Raja Nazrin dan kedua-dua mereka terpaksa diam dan menurut perintah. Tapi bila selesai mengadap Raja Nazrin dan bersedia untuk majlis angkat sumpah Nizar, Jamal mengugut untuk keluar parti kalau Nizar di lantik. Ngeh juga menentang perlantikan Nizar.  Itu sebabnya majlis angkat sumpah MB terpaksa ditangguhkan. DAP pula menuntut supaya semua jawatan EXCO diberikan kepada mereka.

Penyelesaian hanya dilakukan dengan campurtangan Anwar, Hj. Hadi dan Kit Siang.

Itu cerita lama..dan tak ada campurtangan Nik Aziz dalam pemilihan Menteri Besar.

Blogger’s translation and summary:

Yesterday, Perak Today published an article in English entitled ,The Manitoba Land Issue: PAS Supporters Fail To Understand Between Letter Of Support And Letter To Transfer Land.

The same lie is repeated..

What is this lie? The ‘gift’ was made by the PAS government to the Perak DAP leaders to persuade (bribe) them to agree to the appointment of Pasir Panjang assemblyman, Datuk Seri Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin, as Mentri Besar of Perak.

The initial attempt to appoint the Mentri Besar after PRU 12  was a stalemate.. Raja Nazrin asked for  ONE name from the Pakatan Rakyat for appointment as MB. However, each of the three parties wanted their own candidate to be MB. PKR proposed Jamaluddin, DAP proposed Ngeh (YES, *Ngeh had the ambition to be MB…..he he…), while PAS submitted Nizar’s name.

Raja Nazrin ordered all three to come up with ONE name but they cannot. Each wants to be MB. Finally, all three of them agreed to accept the decision of Raja Nazrin.

When Raja Nazrin selected Nizar, Jamal and Ngeh tried to protest but were scolded by Raja Nazrin and both of them had to shut up and follow orders. But when the swearing before Raja Nazrin was about to begin, Jamal threatened to quit the party if Nizar was appointed. Ngeh also opposed the appointment of Nizar. That is why the swearing in of the MB had to be postponed. DAP demanded that all EXCO positions be assigned to them.

A solution was possible only with the intervention of Anwar, Hj. Hadi and Kit Siang.

That was how it happened and there was no interference by Nik Aziz.
