Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Melaka hari ini menolak usul Ketua Menteri, Adly Zahari yang mencadangkan Pengerusi PKR Melaka, Abdul Halim Bachik dilantik sebagai ahli dewan negara. Usul itu hanya mendapat 12 undi berbanding 13 undi yang menolak, manakala tiga lagi tidak hadir.
Susulan itu, Ketua Pembangkang, Idris Haron mengambil peluang untuk mengemukakan usul calon baru iaitu Pengerusi Umno Melaka, Abdul Rauf Yusoh. Ini katanya, berdasarkan kepada Peraturan 18.1 Dewan Undangan Negeri yang membolehkan pindaan usul dibuat sebelum speaker bertindak menangguhkan dewan. Namun ini menimbulkan kekecohan di antara wakil rakyat kerajaan dan pembangkang. Speaker Omar Jaafar kemudian bertindak menangguhkan sidang itu.
Sebagai rekod, seramai tiga Adun Pakatan Harapan yang tidak hadir hari ini, dua daripada mereka adalah dari PKR. Mereka adalah Adun Rembia, Muhammad Jailani Khamis dan Adun Machap Jaya, Ginnie Lim Siew Lin. Kedua-dua mereka juga adalah anggota exco kerajaan Melaka. G Saminathan (DAP - Gadek) - pula tidak hadir - kerana masih ditahan di bawah SOSMA.

"Saya telah melahirkan kebimbangan saya sebelum usul itu dibentangkan.
"Jadi, dewan perlu membahaskan dan mengundi selepas usul dibentangkan," katanya kepada Malaysiakini tanpa mahu mengulas lanjut.
Sementara itu, portal Berita Harian Online memetik Adly pada sidang medianya, sebagai berkata kerajaan negeri akan melakukan ‘bedah siasat’ mengenai keputusan undian, termasuk ‘kehilangan’ Adun PKR pada sesi pengundian berkenaan.
“Saya tidak menjangkakan keputusan ini, namun saya tidak nampak ada unsur-unsur sabotaj. Saya akan mendapatkan pandangan daripada mereka (Adun PKR),” katanya.
Idris pula ketika dihubungi Malaysiakini memberitahu bahawa keputusan pembangkang menolak usul berkenaan bukan disebabkan ketiadaan dua Adun PKR itu, sebaliknya berpunca daripada sindiran Adun Klebang, Gue Teck terhadap ahli pembangkang yang mengguris hati.
“Kita tolak ada yang mengatakan ahli PKR meninggalkan dewan. Tapi saya nak bagi tahu, bukan pasal dua Adun tinggalkan dewan. Dua Adun itu pun tak berkomunikasi dengan saya pun.

“Kita (pembangkang) tolak pasal ucapan Adun Klebang. Pada kita macam ucapan tak bijak. Apalah dalam dewan berucap menyalahkan kerajaan lama.
“Dia kutuk-kutuk saya, dia kutuk-kutuk kerajaan lama. Ambil kau,” katanya.
Ditanya sama ada terdapat unsur sabotaj, bekas ketua menteri Melaka itu menafikannya.
“Tak ada, tak ada. Kita boleh sokong, KM (Adly) punya ucapan bagus. Kita hampir nak sokong sebab KM punya ucapan kata ini adalah untuk kebaikan Melaka.
“Tapi Adun Klebang begitu bodoh, apabila kamu mengharapkan sokongan kita tapi kamu kata kita orang jahat, apa punya YB macam itu,” katanya.
Sehubungan itu, Idris berkata, pembangkang menolak usul itu dan membuat cadangan baru mengikul peraturan 18(1) Pindaan Usul-usul.
“Kita menolak bukan kerana dua Adun PKR itu meninggalkan dewan. Bukan kerana itu, saya pun tak suka dengan dua Adun PKR itu saya kira yang lebih menyebabkan kita menolak calon itu adalah ucapan Adun Klebang yang berbaur sindiran - macam bongkak,” katanya. - mk
Azmin's cartel strikes in Malacca...
A report has blamed PKR infighting for causing a government motion at the Malacca state assembly to be rejected today. The report by China Press said the Pakatan Harapan-led state government barely had the necessary numbers to push through a motion to nominate Malacca PKR chief Halim Bachik as a senator.
However, the motion was defeated by one vote after Ginie Lim (PKR-Machap Jaya) and Muhammad Jailani Khamis (PKR-Rembia) left the assembly chambers just prior to voting.
“This is clearly due to factional infighting in PKR. Halim is seen to be aligned to PKR president Anwar Ibrahim, whereas Lim and Jailani are linked to deputy president Azmin Ali.
“During the motion to nominate a senator, Lim and Jailani left the state assembly chambers just prior to voting, allowing the motion to be rejected with 12 votes in favour and 13 votes against,” the report said.
Harapan has 15 assemblypersons in the 28-member assembly. The only other Harapan representative absent was G Saminathan (DAP-Gadek), who is being detained pending trial over his alleged links to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
The China Press report added that once the motion was rejected, opposition leader Idris Haron (Umno-Sungai Udang) proposed that the house nominates Malacca Umno chief Ab Rauf Yusoh as senator and asked for the matter to be put to a vote immediately.
This triggered an argument in the state assembly, which was only resolved after the house consulted state legal adviser Mohamad Abazafree Mohd Abbas who said any motion must be notified to the speaker beforehand. Speaker Omar Jaafar then adjourned today’s proceedings.
The report quoted unnamed sources claiming that the opposition may push for a no-confidence vote against Malacca Chief Minister Adly Zahari tomorrow, due to the state government’s failure to pass its own motion today.
“If Lim and Jailani are absent again when it's time to vote, the Harapan government in Malacca could be toppled,” the report said.
Ginie Lim (PKR-Machap Jaya)
"I have expressed my concerns before the motion was tabled... the House will have to debate and vote if the motion was tabled," she told Malaysiakini in a brief text message.
China Press had singled out Lim and Rembia assemblyperson Muhammad Jailani Khamis as the cause of the motion's defeat. The report claimed Lim and Jailani were aligned to PKR deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali while the nominated senator, Malacca PKR chief Halim Bachik, was aligned to PKR president Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar and Azmin are presently engaged in a bitter feud that has forced party leaders to take sides. The report said Lim and Jailani left the House shortly before a vote on the motion, leading to its defeat with 12 votes in favour and 13 votes against. Asked if it's true that the motion was defeated due to factional infighting, Lim declined to explain further.
Meanwhile, Sungai Udang assemblyperson Idris Haron, when contacted by Malaysiakini, denied the opposition had colluded with the two PKR assemblyperson who left the House.
"We were not in communication with the two assemblypersons. We have not communicated. We never actually talked. They didn't even acknowledge me," he told Malaysiakini.
Idris said the opposition decided to vote against the motion due to PKR's Klebang assemblyperson Gue Teck's earlier speech which had attacked the opposition.
"Klebang is so stupid. When you're expecting our support and then you're telling the House we're the bad guys, what kind of YB is that?
"So we rejected the motion," he said.

The China Press report quoted unnamed sources claiming that the opposition may push for a no-confidence vote against Malacca Chief Minister Adly Zahari tomorrow, due to the state government’s failure to pass its own motion today.
“If Lim and Jailani are absent again when it's time to vote, the Harapan government in Malacca could be toppled,” the report said.
Meanwhile, PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution said he will present a report in the next party meeting after obtaining reports from the state leadership council and the chief minister's office regarding the matter.
"I will contact the chief minister's office to obtain a report, as well as a report from the state leadership council.
"After that, I will send a report to the party which I will present in the next meeting," he told Malaysiakini.
Asked if PKR would summon Lim and Jailani, Saifuddin said: "normally, that is under (PKR disciplinary board head) Ahmad Kassim's jurisdiction." - mk
Obviously both PKR Ginie Lim and Jailani worked together with the opposition -Umno by been conveniently absent from taking the votes. That is a indirect betrayal of Harapan coalition unity.Next election just remember the names of these two leaders - if they are still around to recontest. - Ferdtan
Lim and Jailani should leave PKR and align themselves with UMNO to form a new kleptocracy state government. Maybe Jailani will be nominated as CM and Lim the senior Exco in charge of Chinese Running Dogs for the new state government. - Perak Boleh
For these Aduns and MP.. it seems you guys are more interested to play politics only.. team up here and there... you are voted in to serve the people and the gvmnt. Don’t makan gaji from the tax payouts money... and ignore the people. The voters are watching you... if you come around the next time for vote.. we will kick your butt out... - Anonymous
Both Aduns are a disgrace to the voters who voted for them in GE14. They should be reminded that it was not Azmin who elected them to office but the rakyat. For breaching party discipline action should be taken against both. If the PH government falls in Melaka, do they think that UMNO and PAS are going to support them? - Gerard Lourdesamy
Ingat kut bolih jadi kerajaan hingga 1000 tahun...tengok keadaan yang berlaku PH mungkin akan pecah rekod jadi kerajaan sepenggal. - Wan
