BARISAN Nasional (BN) perlu mengkaji semula formula agehan kerusi di kalangan parti komponennya pada pilihan raya umum, kata Ketua Umno Penampang Datuk John Ambrose.
Beliau berkata, BN sepatutnya menghapuskan amalan memperuntukkan semula kerusi kepada parti komponen yang bertanding pada pilihan raya umum sebelum ini.
"Amalan ini lebih banyak mendatangkan keburukan kepada BN kerana berdasarkan amalan ini, sesebuah parti komponen masih diberi peluang untuk bertanding tanpa mengira sama ada ia mempunyai calon boleh menang atau tidak
"Ini akan menyebabkan parti berkenaan berasa selesa kerana mereka tahu sama ada bekerja keras atau tidak, kerusi itu masih milik mereka," katanya kepada pemberita hari ini.
Ambrose berkata perkara ini akan melemahkan semangat parti komponen lain, terutama anggotanya, yang bekerja keras di sesuatu kawasan seumur hidup mereka, "namun masih tidak diberi peluang untuk bertanding."(BERNAMA)
Good suggestion from Datuk John Ambrose, hopefully the seat allocation formula will be reviewed so that the allocations will be fair and allows all component parties to compete, even though they have yet to find a winnable candidates. This will drive them to work harder to ensure that their candidates will have better chances of winning in the next general election.
ReplyDeleteAll parties should have fair chance, I'm sure some of them has worked hard during their careers but never been given the opportunity to prove themselves. Hopefully the state government will consider this suggestion from Datuk Ambrose.
ReplyDeleteCadangan Datuk John harus dipertimbangkan, saya pun rasa setuju dengan cadangan tu. Rasa selamat tu akan membuatkan parti tu berasa selesa.
ReplyDeleteSekiranya pemerintahn BN masih mahu kekalkan pemerintah rasanya kajian kerusi itu perlu dipertimbangkan.
ReplyDeleteya.. sebaiknya formula agihan kerusi dikaji semula bagi memastikan semua ahli bepuas hati.
ReplyDeleteapapun, buatlah keputusan yang terbaik untuk semua pihak.
ReplyDeletePembahagian kerusi itu sememangnya perlu dikaji semula bagi memastikan pembahagian itu adil dan disetujui oleh semua pihak.
ReplyDeletejika difikirkan sedalam2nya, perkara yang bertentangan juga boleh berlaku.. maksud saya, jika kerusi itu bukan lagi milih parti komponen itu, ada kemungkinan mereka juga tidak akan bersungguh2 mempertahankan kerusi tersebut malah bekerja sambil lewa..
ReplyDeleteTHE final report of the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on Electoral Reforms tabled by Datuk Seri Dr Maximus touched on the parliamentary seat allocation for Sabah and Sarawak.
ReplyDeleteOngkili, the PSC Chairman, said the committee took note of the proposal for a balance in the number of Dewan Rakyat seats between the peninsula, and Sabah and Sarawak, as spelled out in the Inter-Government Committee (IGC) report during the formation of Malaysia in 1963.
DeleteThe document stated that Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore would have 34 per cent of the Dewan Rakyat seats for that term, Ongkili said when tabling the report.
DeleteOngkili, who is Science, Technology and Innovation Minister, said the recommendation was to ensure that a balanced power could be used by any representative of Sabah and Sarawak to ensure the voice and interest of both states were safeguarded.
DeleteIn this regard, the PSC recommended that a detailed study be carried out on the issue for the purpose of implementation, taking into consideration the principles behind the formation of Malaysia, Ongkili said.
DeleteHe added that the committee also followed-up on the recommendation that the Election Commission (EC) accommodate the need of voters who are residing outside their polling areas.
DeleteThis was to allow voters, particularly those from Sabah and Sarawak, as well as Peninsular Malaysians who were posted to the two states, to cast their votes in any polling station without having to return to their original areas, he said.
DeleteOn the proposal for an automatic registration of Malaysians reaching the voting age of 21, he said, although the proposal was good, it could only be implemented in the long term because the effort to clean up the electoral roll should be given priority.
Delete"Further investigation into doubtful names of voters as highlighted by Sabah and the call for the setting up of a Royal Commission of Inquiry on illegal immigrants in Sabah, should be carried out to ensure the electoral roll is accepted by all," he said.
