Naib presiden Umno Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi menyeru golongan yang enggan menerima sistem pilihan raya Malaysia agar meninggalkan negara ini dan berhijrah ke negara yang menjalankan pilihan raya mengikut kaedah yang digemari.
Beliau yang baru dilantik mengetuai kementerian dalam negeri mensasarkan perkara itu kepada golongan pengikut parti politik yang berpakaian serba hitam dalam kempen bagi membantah keputusan pilihan raya umum ke-13.
“Pemimpin-pemimpin parti pembangkang khususnya PKR dan DAP telah mengelirukan anak-anak muda Cina dan para pengikut yang buta politik untuk berpakaian serba hitam sebagai tanda protes terhadap keputusan PRU-13 yang dianggap memihak kepada mereka mengikut undi popular,” katanya.
“Jika golongan ini mahu menerima pakai list system atau single transferable vote seperti mana yang digunakan oleh negara-negara republik, sepatutnya mereka berhijrah ke negara-negara berkenaan untuk mempraktikkan kepercayaan politik mereka,” katanya dalam tulisan di akhbar Utusan Malaysia.
Pakatan Rakyat berjaya meraih undi popular sebanyak 51.78 peratus berbanding dengan pencapaian BN sebanyak 48.22 peratus.
Ahmad Zahid berkata golongan penyokong tersebut sepatutnya menerima sistem politik dan pembentukan kerajaan seperti diperuntukkan dalam perlembagaan, sekiranya mereka benar-benar setia kepada negara ini.
“Mereka juga hendaklah mengakui hakikat kekalahan dan penolakan rakyat se bagaimana yang terdapat dalam sistem first past the post yang terpakai buat sekian lama di negara ini.
“Perhimpunan haram yang dianjurkan secara road show hanya merupakan escapism untuk lari daripada menerima hakikat kegagalan pembangkang untuk menguasai Putrajaya,” katanya.-malaysiakini

Migrate, Zahid tells those unhappy with GE13 results...
New Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says the opposition can "migrate elsewhere" if it is not satisfied with the country's electoral system that saw BN winning 133 parliamentary seats on May 5, despite Pakatan Rakyat bagging 51.78 percent of the popular votes to get 89 seats.
In an editorial piece in Utusan Malaysia today, Zahid (left) lashed at what he described as illegal gatherings organised by the opposition by way of the 'Black 505' events nationwide following Pakatan's losses in 13th general election.
Leaders of the opposition, especially from the PKR and DAP, he wrote, had confused the young Chinese and their blind supporters by asking them to wear black to protest against the GE13 result that showed the opposition parties winning through the popular vote.
The illegal gatherings, Zahid said, were to hide the fact of Pakatan's failure to win over Putrajaya, but the coalition did not dispute the results in Penang, Selangor and Kelantan.
"If it is true that the opposition obtained the majority vote, the measure it used has been manipulated... The method interpreted by the opposition is only adopted where countries directly elect their heads of state or political parties through elections."
He said Malaysia does not adopt a system that recognises the popular vote as the country practised the Westminster system of 'first past the post', as did the other Commonwealth countries.
Through this system, Zahid said, voters would elect their representative from among the political parties contesting and the victor would be the one with the simple majority.
"If this group (the opposition) wants to use the other system of single transferable vote as used in the republics, they should migrate to those countries to practise this kind of political belief," Zahid said in his Utusanposting.
Those who were loyal to Malaysia would accept the political system the country practised, based on the system of government it has, as enshrined in the federal constitution.
The various illegal gatherings held by way of road shows, he said, said were just an escapism for the opposition to hide the fact of its failure to control Putrajaya.
"The opposition acted over-confident in the support of the voters, and these supporters were manipulated by the various issues and false promises made in the opposition manifesto, which they themselves know cannot be implemented," Zahid said in his editorial piece.
Many critics of the electoral system have pointed out the gross distortion and the gerrymandering over the years which saw many seats, especially those won by the opposition, having large number of voters.-malaysiakini
