Tok Mat persoal agihan jawatan politik NS

TIMBALAN presiden Umno, Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan berkata, pembahagian jawatan politik di Negeri Sembilan sepatutnya dilakukan secara adil dan seimbang.

Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Rantau berkata, ia sebagaimana dipraktikkan dalam Kabinet Kerajaan Perpaduan berikutan kerajaan negeri dibentuk secara bersama antara Pakatan Harapan (PH) dengan Barisan Nasional (BN).

“Saya ingin menegur sedikit, sebagai wakil daripada rakan yang menubuhkan kerajaan Negeri Sembilan ini, saya rasa kecewa kerana kita berjanji di peringkat Persekutuan untuk mengurus negara bersama-sama.

“Negeri Sembilan pun begitu, kita bersama untuk urus negeri dan kita mesti beri sama-sama. Itu sebabnya di peringkat Kabinet, jika KPT (Kementerian Pendidikan Tinggi) dipegang PH, luar bandar (Kementerian Luar Bandar dan Wilayah) pula dipegang BN.

“Tetapi di Negeri Sembilan, keputusan yang dibuat baru-baru ini tidak begitu. Sepatutnya satu untuk kamu, satu untuk saya; satu untuk saya, satu untuk kamu.

“Ini dua untuk saya, kosong untuk kamu. Tak mahulah begitu,” katanya dalam perbahasan Persidangan Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN), Negeri Sembilan, semalam.

Mohamad yang mesra dipanggil Tok Mat berkata, setiap parti komponen dalam Kerajaan Perpaduan di Negeri Sembilan perlu saling menghormati antara satu sama lain.

Menurut Ahli Parlimen Rembau itu, sukar bagi pihaknya untuk menjelaskan persoalan yang dikemukakan oleh akar umbi.

“Bukankah lebih baik jika pembahagian jawatan senator itu satu untuk PH dan satu untuk BN? Kami seboleh mungkin ingin bersama-sama mengurus negeri dan negara, tapi di luar sana, ada tahap kita boleh mengekang perasaan.

“Keputusan seperti ini tidak wajar. Saya tidak mahu perkara ini berlaku lagi. Hormatilah rakan kerjasama kita.

“Seperti ucapan Yang Amat Berhormat Sikamat (Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun–PH), labur sama dapat, cicir sama rugi.

“Tapi ini, labur tak sama dapat. Yang labur seorang saja dapat, yang cicirnya kami,” tegas Tok Mat lagi.

 

 

‘NS political position allocation not fair’

NEGERI Sembilan Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Mohamad Hasan has expressed disappointment with the allocation of political positions in Negeri Sembilan, claiming it is not in line with the spirit of cooperation practised at the federal level.

Mohamad, also known as Tok Mat, said the distribution of positions should be made fairly and proportionately as practised in the unity government’s Cabinet, where he holds the post of foreign minister.

The former Negeri Sembilan menteri besar also said it was crucial for parties in the state government to respect one another, and that misgivings among coalition partners could have a negative effect at the grassroots level.

“As a representative of the partners who established the Negeri Sembilan state government, I feel disappointed because we promised at the federal level to manage the country together.

“We (work) together in managing the state, and we must share (the positions) equally. That is why at the Cabinet level, if the higher education ministry portfolio is held by Pakatan Harapan (PH), the rural development portfolio is held by BN.

“It should be one for you, one for me; one for me, one for you. But in Negeri Sembilan… it’s not like that. It’s two for me, none for you. That’s not how it should be,” he said during the Negeri Sembilan state legislative assembly sitting yesterday.

BN currently occupies 14 of the 36 state seats in the state assembly while PH has 17 and PN has five. PH assemblymen occupy seven out of 11 seats on the executive council, including one held by menteri besar Aminuddin Harun, while BN holds four.

Mohamad said that while BN was trying its best to manage the state and the country together with its partners, it faced tough questions from its supporters on certain issues.

The Umno deputy president also said he was dissatisfied with the recent allocation of senatorships, which were both given to PH representatives.
