Kemungkinan besar J/Kuasa teknikal Umno-PAS akan bertemu minggu depan. Tetapi Nasharuddin menekankan Umno mesti menunaikan semua syarat yang dikemukakan PAS untuk membolehkan pertemuan perpaduan Melayu itu diteruskan.

Menurut Nasharuddin lagi 3 prasyarat dan 4 topik syarat untuk perbincangan telah dikemukakan kepada Umno dalam mesyuarat J/Kuasa Teknikal yang pertama pada 8/2/2001.

Empat topik perbincangan tersebut ialah:

1. Sistem kehakiman
   
2. Pengurusan ekonomi yang tidak betul
3. Federalisma
   
4. Penguguran nama Islam dari PAS
   

Tiga Pra syarat pula ialah:

1. Mengembalikan Royalti
   
2. Benarkan Harakah 2x seminggu
   
3. Polis berhenti mengganas ceramah
   

Saya meramalkan Umno menunggu masa yang sesuai untuk mengistiharkan pilihanraya Sarawak. Sekarang berita meloya sedang mengapi-apikan 'pertengkaran' DAP-KeADILan. Mahathir baru saja pulang dari Sarawak dan Projek Bakun ingin disambung semula. Tetapi isu masyarakat Cina seperti SRJK Cina Damansara dan krisis MCA membuatkan BN sedikit gentar buat sementara. Taib Mahmud pula mempunyai jalinan yang tidak kurang hebatnya sehingga Mahathir menemuinya, bukan dia menemui Mahathir.

Projek ini akan menghidupkan budaya lobi melobi, apatah lagi bila musim pilihanraya nanti. Ketika ini kontraktor akan menyumbang wang agar mereka terpilih untuk membina empangan itu - tidak kiralah sebagai kontraktor utama, sub kontraktor atau sub-sub kontraktor. Maklum sajalah mereka ini semua sudah lama mengidam projek untuk menjadi kaya selepas rebah lama. Beberapa minggu ini banyak syarikat sudah melapurkan untung-rugi perniagaan mereka. Itu turut menyumbang modal buat Umno.

Pas gets word from on 3rd tech meeting for Malay unity talks

by Zubaidah Abu Bakar

27 February 2001

Pas has received notification from Umno to prepare for the third technical committee meeting, giving renewed optimism to the uncertainty surrounding the proposed Malay unity talks.

Confirming this here last night, Pas secretary-general Nasharudin Mat Isa said he had received a call from Tan Sri Khalil Yaakob yesterday morning for both sides to prepare for the third meeting.

"I told him Pas has no problem. I have been given mandate to decide whether to go for the technical committee meeting and I am saying yes,"' he told reporters here after opening the PAS Information and Trade Exposition at Kampung Padang Tok Kesop, Kubang Pasu.

Nasharuddin said Pas was awaiting a response from the Umno secretary-general who he said had promised to call in the net two days.

Nasharuddin, who is leading the four-member Pas technical team preparing for the proposed talks, said Pas was maintaining the pre-conditions and four topics.

He spoke at a ceramah earlier during which he claimed that the three pre-conditions and four conditional topics for discussions set by Pas were made known to Umno in the first technical committee meeting on Feb 8.

The four topics for discussion are the judiciary system, mismanagement of the country's economics, federalism and the attempt to take away the word Islam from Pas' official name.
