为比艾惨败负上全面责任!

我们愿意在此作个补充：比艾补选结果不仅教训土著团结党和马哈迪，而且也教训希盟其他各个成员党及其高层领袖们，特别是林吉祥和林冠英，以及准备从马哈迪手中接棒的安华。人民的意愿和利益是不可忽视的！
我们完全同意读者对<当今大马>这项报道的下列评论——
我们完全同意读者对<当今大马>这项报道的下列评论——
"的確, 人民在發怒了！
如果有尊嚴, 老狐狸就尽快下台！
如果有尊嚴, 希盟的行动党、 公正党与誠信党, 就别再躲躲闪闪,叫老狐狸兑现協議, 馬上交棒给安华！
再来一场补选或公投, 结果都一樣！"
早在选委会公布正式成绩之前，赛胡先已发推文，叫马哈迪“识相”。
“这是对马哈迪希盟领导层的公投。成绩十分明显，人民失望，要教训希盟，特别是马哈迪。”
“他应该知道要立刻做什么，别再拖拖拉拉！”
尽速让路安华接棒
随后，赛胡先接受《当今大马》访问时进一步指出，马哈迪必须为此惨败负上全面责任。
“许多人民不满马哈迪的领导，他恢复个人过往和巫统的风格。人民盼望的改变，迟迟未到。”
“所以，人民已经发声。马哈迪最好体面下台，尽速让路给安华，以让安华带来改变，并且拥有充足时间来准备下届大选。希盟不该是一届政府。”
数次吁马哈迪退位
这并非首次赛胡先炮打马哈迪。今年10月，赛胡先火力全开炮轰马哈迪，指马哈迪恣意弄权，迟迟不愿交棒给安华，等于破坏希盟选前的权力移交协议。
不过，土著团结党青年团团长赛沙迪护主说，希盟签署共识文件时未列明马哈迪需在掌政两年后退位，因此怀疑背后有黑手施压马哈迪辞职。
赛胡先当时则强调，马哈迪2020年5月下台是普遍上的共识，因为希盟最初估计需要两年的时间来释放和特赦安华。
2018年1月，希盟签署协议，同意推举马哈迪为首相候选人，而公正党的旺阿兹莎则是副首相候选人。不过，希盟也议决，马哈迪上任后必须争取国家元首特赦安华。
尽管如此，希盟协议并未说明交棒期限。
马哈迪曾多次阐明会兑现承诺，交棒给安华。安华也不断重申尊重马哈迪，并将耐心等候马哈迪交棒。
Syed Husin calls poll
routing referendum
on Dr M's leadership

Well said Syed Husin Ali, veteran of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), “The (Tanjung Piai by election) results are clear. The people are disappointed and want to teach Pakatan Harapan (PH), especially Dr M (a lesson).”
We would like to add that: The results of Tanjung Piai by-election has not only taught Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) and Mahathir, but also the other component parties of PH and their senior leadership, especially Lim Kit Siang and Lim Guan Eng, as well as Anwar, who is preparing to take over premiership from Mahathir a lesson. The aspirations and interests of the people cannot be ignored!
We fully agree with the following comment made by a reader on this news reported by Malaysiakini (Chinese version):
"Indeed, the people are furious!
If the sly old fox still has dignity, he should step down as soon as possible!
If Democratic Action Party (DAP), PKR, Parti Amanah Negara of PH still have dignity, they should stop dodging, get the sly old fox to fulfill his promise, immediately handover to Anwar!
Even if there is another by-election or referendum, the results will remain unchanged!"
The Tanjung Piai by-election, which witnessed BN trouncing Pakatan Harapan, is a referendum on Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's leadership, said Syed Husin Ali.
According to the former PKR deputy president, the message is loud and clear.
“The results are clear. The people are disappointed and want to teach Harapan, especially Dr M (a lesson),” he tweeted this evening when it became apparent BN was headed for a landslide win.
Syed Husin also suggested that Mahathir should step down following the electoral debacle.
“He (Mahathir) knows what should be done with immediate effect. Don't delay it any longer,” he added.
Elaborating later, Syed Husin said Mahathir should take responsibility for Harapan's massive defeat.
"A large number of the rakyat are unhappy with Mahathir's leadership which has slid to his and Umno's old ways.
"Changes that the people have hoped for seem to be so slow in coming. So the rakyat have spoken.
"It's best that Mahathir withdraws gracefully and make way to (PKR president) Anwar Ibrahim as soon as possible so that the latter can bring about reforms and prepare adequately for the coming general elections.
"Harapan should never be a one-term government," he said in a text message to Malaysiakini.
Mahathir personally campaigned for Harapan candidate Karmaine Sardini, speaking at a ceramah in the parliamentary constituency in Johor on Wednesday night.
Yesterday, the prime minister penned a letter to the voters urging them to reject BN candidate Wee Jeck Seng and cautioned them against the racial politics perpetuated by Umno and PAS.
The Harapan candidate is from Bersatu and the former MP Dr Md Farid Md Rafik, whose death led to the by-election, was also from Bersatu.
Mahathir is the founder and chairperson of Bersatu.
In September, Syed Husin excoriated Mahathir for failing to outline a clear transition of power plan and questioned if other Harapan leaders had been stymied by him.
Syed Husin also criticised Mahathir for downplaying his successor's ability to lead, calling it a betrayal and insult to Harapan.
The prime minister had, during a dialogue session in New York on Thursday, said: "I cannot guarantee that somebody who succeeds me will do well, or maybe not too well."
In an interview with Malaysiakini later, Syed Husin claimed that Mahathir had reverted to authoritarianism.
“Mahathir has become the old Mahathir, especially in the past few months. Old Mahathir means he is dictatorial or authoritarian," he said.
His criticism of the premier courted flak from Bersatu Youth chief Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman as well as Mahathir loyalist Khairuddin Abu Hassan.
Khairuddin claimed that Mahathir's designated successor, Anwar, was not qualified to helm the nation and warned that the nation could witness a repeat of the 1998 fallout between the two leaders.
Despite the repeated assurances from both Mahathir and Anwar that the succession plan would proceed as promised, speculation had been rife there it might not materialise.
Meanwhile, former de facto law minister Zaid Ibrahim said the Tanjung Piai results did not come as a surprise.
“Tanjung Piai is no surprise. Many voters still think PM is the leader of BN. That is how popular he is,” he tweeted.
