In the name ofTitiwangsa Umno’s pride ’s pride

The huge ads are everywhere in  P119 TITIWANGSA. With a full-face photograph of  PAS introducing  himself and inviting you, personally, to vote for PAS  on May 5th, Come to think of it, didn’t have something to do with  guy lying about REDEVELOPMENT in KG BARU,, way back when? why he did not set up shop in  KG BARU – under the brand name of the –  PAS PARACHUTED CANDIDATE AHMAD ZAMBRI which can helpe him now and them get on with his  PAS REDEVELOPMENT Revolution?

PAS PARACHUTED CANDIDATE AHMAD  was confronted with this ticklish query: Will  Anwar no longer be the only candidate for PM post, often addressed  no as the “Pride of PAS is PRESIDENT ABDUL HADI AWANG ”?

Voters must Knock PAS CANDIDATE AHMAD ZAMRI Out and make Pas a fringe party that they used to be

This is why the rhetoric of so-called hardliner like PAS deputy spiritual leader Haron Din (left) brings into sharp focus, the fragile nature of religious alliances. On the campaign trail, Harun claimed that hudud laws would be implemented if Pakatan came into power even over the objections of the DAP.

Furthermore, he was confident “that DAP will accept hudud law because of its willingness to contest under the PAS symbol.” That Islamic impulse which has always been simmering in the background is best summed up by this quote from the good doctor, “Pakatan must take over the federal government. Only then can we amend the (federal) constitution to implement hudud law.”

Now of course they are those who would dismiss people like Harun Din as Umno sub rosa provocateurs (sic) but the reality is that this is a very real dialectic within PAS.

PAS has been extremely politically astute post-2008 but because they are facing rumblings from their own ranks and the political ineptitude of the DAP; they fumble around always attempting to maintain their Islamic credentials against Umno.

Umno meanwhile unfortunately for their critics, could make a credible argument for religious stability, what with all the nonsense coming out from PAS, in their wilderness years, where they were the Islamic bogeymen du jour. It was a poisonous kind of stability but then again there are few ‘Islamic’ countries in the world that boast the same.

How does a leader quell the everyday, inner conflicts caused by the heavy responsibility, the need for constant
self-control and the inevitable crises – and still remain an effective leader? One could answer, “Not easily,” and be

Johari, who was born in a squatter area in Kampung Pandan here in 1964, said that he did not want to see Kampung Baru residents living in the slums, surrounded by modernity and glittering towers.

There are 55,388 voters in Titiwangsa, with the Malays forming the majority at 68 per cent, while the Chinese and Indians comprise 20 per cent and 10 per cent respectively.

A billboard near a dingy flat in Kampung Baru here proclaims that Titiwangsa Umno will defend every inch of the city’s oldest Malay enclave from being taken forcibly.

But he noted that the Kampung Baru Development Corporation was set up to recruit investors who could help provide funds to interested landowners who lacked capital, as well as to ensure that they continued receiving financial assistance during the development process.

The businessman slammed his contender for Titiwangsa, PAS’s Ahmad Zamri Asa’ad Khuzaimi, for exploiting Kampung Baru voters’ fears of BN “stealing their land”.

“I have already defended this a long time ago, but the opposition is not hearing my voice. We have changed the Act so many times in Parliament because certain clauses we don’t agree. Finally we come to a stage when everyone compromises and says, yes, this is the best,” said Johari.

The 113-year-old land originally belonged to Selangor royalty but was bequeathed to the Malay community by Sultan Abdul Samad.

It was in Kampung Baru, the symbol of Malay culture, that the founders of Umno held their early meetings. The historic place was also the starting point of the May 13 race riots in 1969 and later witnessed Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s Reformasi protests in 1998.

Johari pointed out that the government could not “simply acquire the land”, saying that the National Land Code needed to be referred to before the land could be acquired for public purposes.

“Then you have to pay the price for commercial value. If KLCC price is RM2,000, Yap Kwan Seng is RM1,200, Jalan Tun Razak is RM800, so you have to play within that level. You cannot simply take people’s land just to build a road and pay RM200, RM300,” said Johari.

as Kampung Baru landowners fear that their 230-acre land — which is billion-ringgit prime real estate located under the shadow of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers — will be acquired for development.

“There is only one issue that the opposition plays — if landowners and beneficiaries of the land vote for BN, the government will steal the land,” said Johari at a walkabout in Taman Maluri here yesterday.

“It’s real manipulation. In the Kampung Baru Act, nowhere is it stated that the government will acquire the land. It’s to facilitate landowners to develop the land,” he added.

Johari stressed that the ruling coalition merely wanted to assist landowners to develop the century-old Malay village, a haphazard tangle of decaying houses and shops caught against the tide of development in the capital city, just a stone’s throw away from the upscale Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) mall.

Johari, however, admitted that only about 25 to 30 per cent of the landowners agreed to develop the land, with most wishing to do nothing.
