Seven object to youth chief's 'apology'
(Disiarkan dalam the Star. June 17, 1997)
Johor Baru: Tue. June 17
THE leaders of seven Umno Youth divisions in Johor have voiced their objections to the apology made to Singapore Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew by the movement's chief Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The seven leaders are Mohd Abdul Latif Endot of the Johor Baru division, Zulkifli Sulaiman (Senai), Jamil Amin (Sg Benut), Dr Nasrah Salim (Kluang), Zaid Mohd Yusof (Batu Pahat), Abu Bakar Babu (Labis) and Mohd Ismail Mohd Shah (Muar).
Spokesman for the six, Abdul Latif, said the apology by Ahmad Zahid, which was made during a visit to Singapore last week, did not reflect the wishes of the divisions.
"We regret the action of the Umno Youth chief and wish to state that his actions do not reflect how we, at the state level, feel about the issue.
"As far as we are concerned, there was no need for an apology, be it a personal one by the movement's chief or one made on behalf of the movement," Latif said in a press statement.
Last week, Singapore newspapers quoted Zahid as saying that he wanted to apologise personally to Lee for certain harsh words used during a demonstration by Johor Umno Youth at the height of a diplomatic row between the two countries.
When contacted, Latif said while the divisions supported efforts to normalise relations with Singapore, they felt that Zahid's apology was needless as the movement had not done anything wrong.
"It must be remembered that the demonstration was carried out at a time when emotions were very high and Lee had yet to make his apology.
"The main point is that Umno Youth members stood up for their state and there is definitely nothing to apologise for in that," Abdul Latif said.
KOMEN
Peristiwa Zahid meminta maaf kepada LKY ini telah melukakan hati Mahathir pada masa itu.
Akibat kesilapan Zahid tersebut Mahathir tidak melantik Zahid memegang sebarang jawatan dalam kabinet walaupun beliau merupakan Ketua Pemuda UMNO.
Kepimpinan hari ini harus berhati-hati dengan putar-belit media Singapura kerana mereka dikawal penuh oleh Lee Kuan Yew.
Hari ini Zahid adalah Menteri Pertahanan, salah sebuah Kementerian yang penting kepada Singapura selain dari Kementerian Hishamudin, Kementerian Dalam Negeri kerana Mas Selamat sedang di tahan di bawah KDN.

Mummy Rokiah,
ReplyDeleteSebenarnya permohonan maaf bukan shj pernah dibuat oleh Zahid pd tahun 1997 tetapi permohonan maaf tersebut pernah juga dibuat oleh mantan PM kita, Pak Lah kepada Lee Kuan Yew dlm satu insiden yg mengakatakan Malaysia telah mendiskriminasikan bangsa Cina.
Apakah muslihat lawatan Menteri Mentor Singapura, Lee Kuan Yew ke Malaysia? Kepimpinan negara dan rakyat Malaysia haruslah berhati-hati dengan LKY yang penuh dengan muslihatnya. Dan kita jangan lupa bahwa beliau merupakan godfather kepada parti DAP.Kepimpinan negara harus berhati-hati atas permainan licik oleh LKY. Jangan nanti satu negara terjebak dlm tipu muslihat. Sudahlah Iskandar Johor kita membiarkan mereka terlibat dgn sewenang-wenangnya ini pula membuat lawatan ke negara kita kononnya nak meninjau keadaan politik semasa Malaysia.Tidak sedarkah kita bahwa ianya ada muslihat tertentu disebalik lawatan tersebut. Pernahkah Singapura memberi peluang pembangunan ekonomi mereka kpd Malaysia sebagaimana kita memberi peluang kepada mereka.
Hanya TDM shj yang boleh mengajar Singapura.
Andalasputera,
ReplyDeleteKepimpinan yang bijak harus cerdik menelah lapisan-lapisan di hadapannya. Itulah kelebihan Mahathir bin Mohammad.
Selagi Mahathir masih kuat dan cerdas sesiapa juga yang menjadi PM harus berhati-hati dengan LKY.
Lihat Utusan Malaysia hari ini m/s 2. Gambar LKY menjabat tangan dengan Rosmah Mansor. Gambar ini membawa seribu makna. Apa cerita ini? LKY tau kelemahan Najib adalah Rosmah. Mengapa harus melibatkan isteri?Kita sama-sama tunggu apa kata Tun Mahathir.
Sebenarnya bukan PAS,PKR atau DAP yang akan membunuh politik Najib tetapi teman dalam selimutnya sendiri.
