Zahrain dedah strategi Anwar merampas kuasa 16 September

17 Mac 2010 - 'Hansard' Mesyuarat Parlimen

Ia bagai satu kejutan. Kejadian ini berlaku selepas Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Ahli Parlimen Permatang Pauh dan selaku Ketua Pembangkang menguasai sidang Dewan Rakyat selama kira-kira tiga jam membahaskan usul ucapan terima kasih titah Yang Dipertuan Agong.

Dewan gamat sekali sekala semasa perbahasannya yang berakhir pada jam 5 petang.

Segalanya bermula bila bekas Ahli Parlimen PKR Bayan Baru, Datuk Seri Zahrain Hashim pula bangun berucap sebagai pembahasa kedua.

Tanpa banyak membuang masa dan di luar dugaan para Ahli Parlimen dan pembangkang, beliau terus masuk gear lima membuat pendedahan apa yang didakwanya pembohongan pimpinan PKR untuk meyakinkan mereka gerakan 16 September untuk menumbangkan kerajaan Barisan Nasional boleh berjaya.

Beliau mendakwa antaranya mereka diberitahu bahawa Yang Dipertuan Agong sedang menunggu di istana untuk mendapatkan kenyataan jumlah Ahli Parlimen Barisan Nasional yang melompat (30 orang) bagi dibolehkan pihak pembangkang bentuk kerajaan.

Katanya Yang Dipertuan Agong juga dikatakan kononnya merestui Anwar jadi Perdana Menteri keenam.

Dakwanya lagi mereka juga diberitahu bahawa angkatan tentera menyokong mereka.

”Kami disogok cerita kononnya Panglima Angkatan Tentera dan angkatan tentera memberi sokongan pembentukan kerajaan oleh Pakatan Rakyat yang diketuai oleh ( Ahli Parlimen) Permatang Pauh,”katanya.

Menurutnya salah seorang Timbalan Speaker Dewan Rakyat juga dikatakan sudah bersiap sedia untuk istihar Anwar sebagai Perdana Menteri.

Pendedahan ini telah mencetuskan suasana gamat dan kecoh dalam Dewan Rakyat.

Ini bila sebilangan Ahli Parlimen pembangkang bangun untuk mempertikaikan pendedahan Zahrain. Pada ketika yang sama para ahli parlimen Barisan Nasional berteriak membantah.

Keadaan menjadi bertambah gamat bila Anwar tiba-tiba kelihatan bersiap hendak keluar dari dewan ketika Zahrain sedang membuat pendedahan.

Anwar bagaimapun tidak mempedulikan tempik sorak para ahli parlimen Barisan Nasional yang meminta jangan keluar dan dengar pendedahan Zaharain.

Beliau melangkah keluar dari dewan pada 5.10 petang. Zahrain pula teruskan ucapannya.

Sidang Dewan Rakyat terpaksa ditangguhkan pada tepat jam 5.30 petang.

Zahrain akan menyambung ucapannya esok.

Difahamkan Anwar tidak akan hadir sidang Dewan Rakyat esok kerana akan berlepas ke luar negara malam ini.

Ditemui para wartawan sejurus keluar dari dewan, Anwar enggan mengesah atau menafikan pendedahan oleh Zaharin.

Sementara itu Ahli Parlimen Bebas Kulim Bandar Bharu, Zulkifli Nordin ketika ditemui Agendadaily untuk ditanya apakah pendedahan Zahrain ini merupakan kejutan yang beliau maksudkan bakal meletup di Dewan Rakyat beberapa hari lalu.

”Ini bukan kejutan saya. Saya yang terkejut” katanya.

Namun katanya apa yang didedahkan oleh Zahrain itu betul. -17/3/2010

Chaos as Zahrain blasts Anwar, PKR in Parliament

By Shazwan Mustafa Kamal and Clara Chooi

KUALA LUMPUR, March 17 — Pandemonium broke out in the House today when Datuk Seri Zahrain Hashim (picture) spoke out against his former party, venting out frustrations on how the PKR had strayed from the path of righteousness to become “subservient” to the DAP.

The Bayan Baru MP, in his inaugural speech as an Independent, took the opportunity to slam his former party comrades, pointing out that he had been cheated into believing that the Sept 16 supposed government takeover would actually happen.

Zahrain also claimed that during the time of the supposed takeover, he was led to believe that de facto PKR leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had even obtained consent from the King.

“We were cheated with the story that supposedly, the Agong was already waiting in the palace... waiting to get confirmation that enough Barisan Nasional MPs had crossed over to the Opposition and that we had the numbers to take over the Federal Government. The Agong had also supposedly agreed to grant the post of Prime Minister to Anwar,” he said, to escalating shouts of “ooh” from the floor.

As Zahrain went further into his speech, loud shouts and profanities were heard from MPs from both sides of the House.

Opposition backbenchers took the opportunity to accuse Zahrain of having been bought over by the Barisan and Anwar himself told the House that his former Penang PKR chief had only been interested in power and positions.

As the sitting erupted into further chaos and Zahrain yelled at Anwar, “You don’t lie!” the parliamentary Opposition Leader walked out of the House.

At that juncture, BN MPs taunted at Anwar’s departure, claiming that the usually fiery leader was unable to take the heat.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz then switched on his microphone and said repeatedly, “Takut, takut, takut, takut, takut.”

Speaking to reporter in the Parliament lobby shortly after the House was adjourned for the day, Zahrain defended his earlier outbursts, maintaining that he had every right to do so.

“I’m just telling the reasons why I left the party, on my frustrations with Keadilan and the promises made by the ketua umum which are all lies,” he said.

When asked about the number of MPs Anwar claimed PR had won over in Sept 16 2008, the Bayan Baru MP declined to provide an answer.

“I’m not bothered about numbers, I’m just telling my story, the truth, what I went through. To me it’s irrelevant.”

He took to great lengths to defend his positions and reaffirmed that his departure from PKR was expedited by Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s running of the State.

“Sept 16 happened but when the issue of dictator, chauvinist came out and I was not defended, that was the last straw,” said Zahrain, who has been extremely vocal in voicing out his discontent towards the Penang Chief Minister.

Earlier on Anwar who had abruptly left the Parliament session soon after Zahrain’s speech, slammed the former PKR man for lying about what had supposedly happened on Sept 16.

“Which MPs came during the takeover of power? No one came. But he is telling a tall tale. He claimed that when the takeover was going to happen everyone would convene in Parliament.”

“Nobody was here. It’s not true at all...he is being used by Umno at a cheap price for what? He’s angry because people are accusing him for the two dollar company. That’s the real issue,” said Anwar.

So next time Anwar has to absent himself from attending parliamentary sessions. No more rethorical speech by him then..... watch out for Zahrain again and... Zulkifli Nordin. haha
