Formation of KONSENSUS BEBAS

With the trust and responsibility as Members of Parliament elected by the rakyat, we hereby announce the formation of Konsensus Bebas as the official platform for the unified Independent Members of Parliament.

Konsensus Bebas will be an effective, independent and non-partisan Parliamentary bloc. Voicing views and taking political actions independently, transcending partisan politics in presenting our stance and policies as Independent Members of Parliament.

We believe the formation of Konsensus Bebas is the best solution for us as members of parliament to present issues of national and public interest collectively and effectively. With this general agreement, Konsensus Bebas is convinced that it is able to execute its responsibilities as a parliamentary bloc without the patronage of any political party.

Political parties have failed the aspiration of the rakyat for reformation as manifested by the 2008 General Elections. Konsensus Bebas will strive to restore the rakyat’s hope and conviction for reformation. Konsensus Bebas will act without any political self-interest but solely for the interests of the rakyat and the nation.

The national political landscape has changed reflecting the maturing of the democratic process in Malaysia. It is time that Malaysian political leaders and political parties respect the rakyat by placing the interest of the rakyat above the interests of political parties or party leaders. The rakyat will not be fooled by political rhetoric and politicians who do not walk the talk.

Currently, political parties are seen as placing the party agenda as their primary interest and the leaders inclined to grab power. The rakyat are victims of the struggle for power and position. Partisan politics have been plagued by intra-party conflicts for power and positions, aggravated by the “brown-nosing” culture. The rakyat’s demand for reformation has been derailed.

Konsensus Bebas accepts the reality of partisan politics. However, Konsensus Bebas reiterates that to be an effective member of parliament is not dependent on the political party one represents but on one’s diligence and sincerity.

As an independent platform, Konsensus Bebas will support either the government or the opposition conditionally. Konsensus Bebas will take the independent stance based on the aspirations of the rakyat and the nation.

Konsensus Bebas will focus on formulating policies that benefit the rakyat. Public and national interests will be presented more innovatively based on the true spirit of reformation and sincerity in making Malaysia a progressive nation.

Konsensus Bebas offers the rakyat an effective voice in parliament.

Member of Parliament for Bayan Baru

  1. CHECK THIS WEE…MB KHALID IGNORE ALL CONCESSION
    AGREEMENT TERMS AND SUASA EFEKTIF SDN BHD DOES
    NOT PAY PBT AS KHALID MB PROTECT THIS BN COMPANY.THEY RIP OFF MILLIONS EVERY MTH!!!!…have been doing the research on parking related matters and local council in Selangor past week. Like many Malaysians, we tend to be forgetful after 3 months and after a year, the facts will get all jumbled up that many would have forgotten the head and tail on many issues. One such issue is the Local Authority (LA) car parking business in Selangor which I believe was engineered during Khir Toyo time where all LA parking in Selangor was streamline and spread over two companies.

    THE privatisation of parking services in Selangor was formalised sometime in Q2 or Q3, 1999, when the state government decided that the move would bring about a uniformed system to parking in the state which would benefit the local authorities. Legally speaking the state gave the directives and the local authority inked either a 20 or 25 years parking agreement with two companies i.e. Swastapark Sdn Bhd (later renamed as Godell Parking Sdn Bhd) and Suasa Efektif Sdn Bhd. Selangor parking territories are shared between this two entities.

    Godell Parking was given the concession for PJ, Subang Jaya, Sabak Bernam, Hulu Selangor and Kuala Langat for 20+5 years and Suasa Effektif was given Shah Alam, Kelang, Ampang, Selayang, Kajang, Sepang and Kuala Selangor for 25 years. I remembered when KT announces the appointment of these companies, there was some noise in the background on the lack of transparency in view of direct negotiation between both parties. For that matter, the noise stayed in the background and is silenced by other matters.

    Back then the idea to form a uniform parking arrangement was made on the basis of cosmetics and disguise in the form to improve the revenue collection to the local authorities. There was no tender. There was no open selection. There was no pre announce news. There was only announcement on how Selangor Parking is to be shared between the two parties.

    Questions begin to surface on wether the 70/30 contract favouring the concessionaire are indeed fair and works in favour or the local authorities. In Ampang Jaya for example, Suasa Effective apparently owed close to RM 800K in parking rental to MPAJ. The same thing happens in Selayang where the amount is said to be about RM900K.

    In MPAJ, the management practice a contra mechanism where concession collection is contra with the fines issued by MPAJ. The problem here is one of accounting and liquidity. Payment should not have been in contra especially when there issued fines are documented but the collection amount is not the same as the amount issued. While the agreement says that the concessionaire is suppose to pay MPAJ once a month, this is not being done.

    The LA does not act in accordance of the provision of the contract. They appear to be weak in implementing the powers given to them in the contract. What is still not clear is how the 70/30 formula is derived and how does the local authority know how much is being collected. It is also not clear on WHY the LA did not terminate the agreement despite non payment by the concessionaire. Not surprising, the LA is taken for a ride and the weak management and the local councillor

  2. It is good that you all taking step to be organised. Konsensus Bebas must put the people interest above politics. We have had enough of political rhetoric and the racism from both sides. Now that you have organsied yoruself, you will have to perform.

  3. lebih cantik kalau daftar sebagai sebuah parti politik. tiada hiraki menegak, hanya mendatar

    setiap ahli parlimen berkuasa dalam sempadan parlimen masing-masing

    bagi parlimen yang tiada wakil rakyat. calon-calon bangsa Malaysia yang berminat boleh daftar diri untuk bertanding

    sekretariat bebas akan organize presidential debate dan adakah pengundian berdasarkan daftar pengundi SPR

    sape yang menang, dia layak bertanding dalam PRU13 untuk pakai simbol konsensus bebas

  4. Sometimes we wonder PR vs BN is becuase due to want
    to fight corruption or just want to change boss becuase
    PR contrack kecil , BN contrack besar . WE understand u
    quit due to dissapointment of sand issue . We also dissapointment regarding the election in Sibu . What
    Sibu Miracle ? Just win less than 400 votes , talk until
    like win 4000 votes . And then after win , bad sikap – skip
    the Sibu anti-float project even though only RM 5 million .
    What Malaysia First ? SElangor not afford to donate this amount ? And for GST Tax issue , while PR protest but they
