Kenapa saya dikaitkan dengan politik Pok Li?

Oleh Hambali Abdul Latiff

Saya tidak faham kenapa rakan saya di Berita Harian pada 1980-an, Jailani Harun (Jai) begitu marah dengan Datuk Rosli Mat Hassan (Pok Li Dungun) hingga mengaitkan saya yang katanya sebagai orang yang cuba mempertahankan Ketua Bahagian UMNO Dungun itu.

Untuk makluman Jai saya tidak ada kena mengena dengan Pok Li dan tidak rapat pun. Saya ‘buta’ tentang politik UMNO Dungun dan mengatakan saya sebagai ‘his cybertroopers’ adalah tidak benar sama sekali.

Satu sen pun duit Pok Li tidak jatuh ke tangan atau poket saya untuk saya bekerja keras mempertahankannya.

Bagaimanapun, terima kasih kerana memberikan saya gelaran ‘Dato’’ walaupun hakikatnya saya tidaklah bergelar sedemikian. Kali pertama saya menerima gelaran percuma seperti ini ialah oleh akhbar New Straits Times sekitar 2001.

Kalau Jai marah atau rasa tidak senang dengan Pok Li, itu hak Jai. Saya tidak ada kena mengena.

Jika Jai mengatakan Pok Li adalah orang yang akan memusnahkan UMNO Terengganu atau akan menyebabkan UMNO kalah dalam pilihan raya umum akan datang, itu pendapatnya. Kalau UMNO kalah Jai betul dan kalau kekal berkuasa Jai salah.

Namun, pada saya bukan Pok Li penentu kemenangan UMNO Terengganu. Setiap ketua bahagian, ketua cawangan, ketua pemuda, ketua wanitam ketua puteri dan seluruh ahli UMNO Terengganu sebenarnya yang bertanggungjawab.

Mungkin Pok Li berkuasa di Dungun tetapi tidak berkuasa di bahagian lain. Jadi, janganlah Jai main rembat sesuka hati.

Sekali lagi saya katakan, saya hormati pendapat Jai tetapi saya menentang sekeras-kerasnya mengaitkan saya dengan Pok Li.

Untuk lebih lanjut, baca dua entri Jai melalui blognya, http://justread-whatever.blogspot.com. Dua entri berkenaan ialah pada 6 dan 17 Jun lalu.

Dungun Umno chief is 'BIADAP!'

Sunday, June 6, 2010

I dont care if Dungun Umno division chief Dtk Rosli or his cybertroopers like 'Dato' Hambali Latiff and others or even Trengganu Mentri Besar himself get annoyed by this statement - that people like Rosli are the ones who will plunge Umno into major crisis prior to the next general elections, thus will guarantee the Opposition to wrest power in his division and also in the State.

His remarks and attitude will also make the Malays to stay away from Umno for a long, long time. Even those are already members would either opt to quit or not to vote for Umno again.

"YB kalau takda duit, kalau miskin, tak payahlah jadi Ahli Parlimen...". (YB, if you dont have money, if you are so poor, no need to be a Member of Parliament...)

This is what he chided Dungun MP Matulidi Jusoh during a function in Trengganu last week. MB Ahmad Said was there and I believe Ahmad heard it. Others may have heard it too.

So, you are already filthy rich after becoming a 'wakil rakyat' for one term. Why only for a term? You already got a big bungalow, a fleet of cars and plenty of cash to make you a king in Dungun. That's alright. Since you are the Umno chief, you are of the opinion that all Federal and State projects must go through you.

The manner you treat your own deputy gives the impression that the MP job MUST be yours and for being poor, Matulidi is not fit to become a 'wakil rakyat'. You are painting the picture that Umno is a party for the rich and famous. So, go talk to Umno President Najib Tun Razak or his deputy Muhyidin Yassin about it. Suggest to them to regulate that in the party's next assembly. Who knows, your money might win you a higher position in Umno.

And for Najib, Muhyidin and other Umno leaders - you may keep people like him if you may. Let us see the result pretty soon.

If Umno harbors so many division chiefs like this, I dont mind leaving the party or being sacked.

Rosli Dungun political empire

Thursday, June 17, 2010

I am not finish yet with Dungun Umno chief Rosli Mat Hassan, whose deputy chief is MP Matulidi Jusoh, the person he chided 'kalau miskin dan takda duit, jangan jadi wakil rakyat la...' before MB Ahmad Said recently. This guy has to go, very soon!

Why? His arrogance and stuck-up behavior in choosing his own team, despising his own deputy and building his own political empire in the division, may lead to Terengganu downfall in the next general election.

Yes, his wife is the division Wanita Umno head, his daughter heads the Puteri wing while his son is the division's treasurer. His ringht hand men are all over Dungun, controlling whatever they can. The District Officer has changed hands three times but the Yang Dipertua Majlis Bandaran Dungun has been there for ages - thanks to his close relation with Rosli.

Even the MB cant do anything. He wont interfere in Umno Dungun affairs because they are buddies. Some said that when Ahmad became Mentri Besar, it was Rosli who showered him with many things - including attires, from head to toes.

So strong is their relation that Rosli was recently awarded a RM30 million road project. How about a 1,000ha logging concession which is already the talk of Dungun town?

I also believe Hishamuddin Hussein who is Terengganu's Umno Liaison Committee chairman is also close to Rosli. If that's the case, may as well Dungun Umno members forget about bringing him down. Hisham wont do anything as he is also like Rosli - already rich!

Then, to whom should we turn to? PM? DPM?

If this is the type of people Umno needs, then bid goodbye to Malaysians in the next general elections. As the common saying now says, Umno is only for the rich and famous. If you dont have money, just join the party and vote. Unless you got plenty of money, you might be able to buy support to climb the political ladder. Only money is the ticket to become a 'wakil rakyat'.

Then, Rosli should be retained as division chief and re-elected as a 'wakil rakyat' a year or two from now.

I am glad that someone showed me a SMS sent by 'an Umno rascal' during the last general election, an instruction not to vote for Umno candidate for Sura state seat in Dungun. Why? The Umno candidate who lost to Pas didnt get 'somebody's' blessing.

It looks like Umno will keep people like this, forever! Nobody dares to bring him down either...
