BUMBURING.
IN RESPONSE to the statement
by Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim on 11th June 2012 in which he mentioned that he and
me have communicated, I hereby wish to clarify that I am one of the Deputy
Presidents and the Chairman in Sabah of Angkatan Amanah Merdeka, an NGO
whose objective is to struggle for the
reinstatement of the spirit of genuine
brotherhood of all Malaysian as stated and envisioned by Bapa Kemerdekaan the
late Tunku Abdul Rahman.
Amanah is promoting a just
and equal society among the multiracial population of Malaysia. The rank and
file of the leadership of Amanah is comprised of leaders from various political
and social back ground, both from the government and opposition sides.
In Amanah I personally
experience a real sense of belonging where members interact and communicate freely and genuinely without
and racial and political inhibition.
In our activities to promote
the above objectives we communicate with all Malaysian on a non-political
platform. I personally communicate with a lot of people, both from the
government and the opposition side. I have met the Chief Minister of Sabah
Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Aman to explain what the objective of Amanah and he
understood it well.
I also have communicated
with Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to explain the struggle and philosphy of Amanah
to him and to get his view of the situation in the country today. I also
believe that Amanah’s president Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah have explained Amanah’s
objectives to leaders both in the government as well as in the opposition.
We, in Amanah, noticed that
there exist now a great political, racial and religious divide among the people
of Malaysia. This situation has to be addressed by promoting healthy and
constructive communication among the people, more so among leaders.
After the launching of
Amanah by Tengku Razaleigh on the 3rd Jun 2012 more and more people in Sabah
understand the struggle of Amanah. I had been invited to officiate Pesta
Kaamatan celebration in few places.
I have been invited in
Beluran and Kota Belud. I have accepted the invitations and took the
opportunity to explain the philosophy of Amanah.
Only after arriving in the the
Kota Belud functions that it was made known to me that Datuk Seri Anwar had
also been invited. We in Amanah will attend functions regardless of who the
organizers are because Amanah is an NGO.
If we choose which function
and when to attend then we would breach our philosophy of bridging people to be
united. I hope that people will understand our position on this matter.
Amanah patut diterajui oleh individu yang bukan berasal dari kalangan orang politik.
ReplyDeleteNama pun sudah non-political platform, harap2lah tiada pengaruh politik dari orang2 politik yang jadi ahlinya ni.
ReplyDeleteAmanah harus fokus pada perjuangan sebenar mereka.
ReplyDeleteObjektif penubuhan harus seiring dengan pergerakan persatuan
DeleteNGO yang akan cuba membantu rakyat. Semoga AMANAH akan berjuang untuk mencapai matlamat mereka.
ReplyDeletejumpa tu memang ada la kan tapi bukan untuk lompat parti..
ReplyDeletetakpa la, yang penting sudah bagi penjelasan.. kalau Bumburing keluar juga selepas ini, bermakna memang benarlah beliau berjumpa dengan Anwar untuk menyertai Pakatan..
