Dilaporkan kira-kira 5,000 warga Kelantan berhimpun di Dataran Ilmu dekat ibu pejabat PAS negeri di Kota Baru pagi tadi.
Ia bertujuan mengisytiharkan sokongan kepada kepimpinan Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.
Perhimpunan tersebut dikatakan bermula kira-kira pukul 10.30 pagi sebaik sahaja tamat kuliah mingguan oleh Nik Aziz, Menteri Besar Kelantan.
Kepemimpinan Nik Abdul Aziz akhir-akhir ini menerima pelbagai kritikan susulan beberapa isu, antaranya pelantikan menantunya Abdul Ariffahmi Ab Rahman sebagai ketua pengarah eksekutif (CEO) Perbadanan Menteri Besar Kelantan (PMBK) dan tajaan haji daripada seorang kontraktor.
Anak syarikat kerajaan (GLC) itu juga sedang disiasat Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah (SPRM) berhubung dakwaan berlakunya penyelewengan dan salah guna kuasa.
Belum reda isu itu, Nik Abdul Aziz menimbulkan pula kontroversi baru apabila mendakwa terdapat usaha menjatuhkannya yang didalangi oleh seorang pegawai tentera yang dikenali sebagai "Kolonel Mat."
Kumpulan yang terdiri daripada anggota pertubuhan-pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) Kelantan itu juga menyokong usaha kerajaan negeri dalam membuat tuntutan royalti minyak.
Turut hadir dalam perhimpunan itu adalah barisan kepimpinan negeri termasuk anggota exco kanan kerajaan negeri Datuk Husam Musa.
Sudah pasti orang yang ke depan mempertahankan Nik Aziz ialah DatukHusam Musa.
Ini difahami sangat kerana ketika ini Nik Aziz bagaikan hilang sokongan kecuali daripada Husam yang mempunyai cita-cita besar dan ‘rashia besar’untuk dilindungi.
Jika untuk memeprtahankan Nik Aziz, tidak perlulah Husam berucap. Orang sudah tahu bahawa beliau kini terpaksa melakukan apa sahaja untuk ‘survival politiknya’’.
Apakah PAS Kelantan tidak mempunyai tokoh lain?
Apakah dengan Husam mempertahankan Nik Aziz, PAS Kelantan akan semakin kuat.
Apabila Husam berucap ia mempunyai banyak makna.
1. Husam mempertahankan dirinya daripada terus diserang dengan berlindung di sebalik usaha mempertahankan kepimpinan Nik Aziz;
2. Dengan Husam berucap ia menonjolkan lagi bahawa Nik Aziz tidak mengharapkan orang lain tetapi pada masa yang sama, Husam adalah musuh kepada anak-anak dan menantunya. Apakah Nik Aziz sengaja membiarkan Husam memusnahkan dirinya sendiri?
3. Dengan Husam mempertahankan Nik Aziz, semakin kuat tanggapan bahawa dengan Nik Aziz terus kekal, PAS Kelantan tidak akan melantik orang lain menjadi Menteri Besar dan Husam akan dapat menutup ‘kemelahan’dan ‘salah laku’yang mungkin dilakukan olehnya yang anak menantu Nik Aziz dan beberapa exco kerajaan negeri tahu mengenainya; dan
4. Dengan berucap mempertahankan Nik Aziz, Husam bagaikan juara dalam segala-gala, termasuk tuntutan royalti yang dilihatnya sebagai ‘lubuk wang’untuk melonjakkan dirinya menjadi Presiden PAS dan proksi Datuk Seri Annuar Ibrahim dalam PAS pada ketika ramai pemimpin PAS lain sudah mula ‘tawar hati’dengan Anwar.
Saya melihat himpunan pagi ini tidak lebih daripada menunjukkan kekuatan bagi tuntutan royalti, bukan sangat mempertahankan Nik Aziz.
Kalau tidak masakan Husam dalam ucapannya semasa perhimpunan itu boleh menegaskan tidak ada salahnya dengan doa Nik Aziz dalam usaha menuntut pembayaran royalti petroleum.
“Tidak membayar royalti itu satu kezaliman jadi dalam Islam kita diharuskan berdoa,” kata Husam.
Dan kalaupun mahu mempertahankan Nik Aziz, Musyridul Am PAS itu sudah cemar imejnya dan sukar untuk dibersihkan lagi.
Bukan orang UMNO dan masyarakat awam sahaa yang mula ‘jijik’dengan tindakan dan sikap Nik Aziz mementing kroni dan amalan mementingkan keluarganya. Orang PAS pun mula mempersoalkan tindak-tanduknya.
Yang sokongnya mungkin hanya Husam dan konco-konconya yang melihat kedudukan tidak stabil Nik Aziz ini lebih mudah untuk mereka ‘menendang keluar’Nik Aziz daripada berkuasa dalam kerajaan dan parti PAS Kelantan.
Anak-anak Nik Aziz menyedari ini dan mungkin kerana inilah menantu Nik Aziz cuba membebaskan pengaruh Husam dengan memecat penyokong kuat Husam di Perbadanan Menteri Besar Kelantan (PMBK) berkenaan.
Persoalannya juga ialah apakah seorang menantu tidak memaklumkan lebih dahulu kepada mentuanya bagi melakukan sesuatu tindakan di dalam perbadanan yang begitu penting?

APA YANG TIDAK KENA DENGAN SULAIMAN?
Sulaiman tidak boleh bekerja atau tidak diberikan kerja?
Datuk Seri Sulaiman Abdul Rahman Abdul Taib, anak kepada Ketua Menteri Sarawak, dikatakan meletakkan jawatan sebagai Timbalan Menteri Pelancongan.
Beliau dikatakan memberikan sebab masalah kesihatan.
Bagaimanapun, menurut sebauh portal berita, Sulaiman bertindak demikian kerana tidak puas hati layanan terhadapnya disamping sebab-sebab berkaitan layanan kepada dua negeri – Sabah dan Sarawak.
Menurut portal berita berkenaan, Sulaiman sebelum ini bertelagah dengan bekas Menteri, Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said dan Menteri Pelancongan sekarang Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen pula dikatakan bagaikan ‘meminggirkan’beliau.
Sulaiman dikatakan ‘menjauhkan’diri dari kementerian berkenaan.
Portal berita itu difahamkan, Sulaiman menyerahkan surat perletakan jawatan kepada Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Razak bulan lalu.
Najib dikatakan belium menerima perletakan jawatan itu dan tidak menjawab soalan di Parlimen.
Beliau memberikan sebab masalah kesihatan menyebabkan meletakkan jawatan berkenaan dan tidak mahu lagi berkhidmat dengan kerajaan Pusat.
Beliau bagaimanapun tetap menjadi Ahli Parlimen.

Sulaiman quits as deputy tourism minister By G. Manimaran
Bahasa Malaysia Editor
PETALING JAYA, Dec 4 — Datuk Seri Sulaiman Abdul Rahman Abdul Taib, the son of the Sarawak Chief Minister, has resigned as Deputy Minister of Tourism, citing poor health although government sources say it relates to perceived bad treatment towards him personally and the Borneo states.
The Malaysian Insider understands that Sulaiman tendered his resignation letter to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak last month, citing his health condition as the main reason for his decision to leave the federal administration. "Sulaiman tendered his letter to resign as deputy minister couple of weeks ago due to his health condition," a source close to the first-term federal lawmaker told The Malaysian Insider.
"However, he will remain as a member of Parliament," the source said. However, sources said Najib has yet to accept Sulaiman's resignation and he remains in the ministerial bench. However, he has not answered any questions and has only been seen once in the current parliamentary session.
It is learnt that Sulaiman had also clashed with former Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said and current minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen over his work. Sources said both ministers had shunned him and refrained from giving him duties, leading him to stay away from the ministry.
It is also understood that he made the decision to quit as a form of protest over the appointment of former MAS chief Datuk Seri Idris Jala to the Cabinet over him and other elected Sarawak and Sabah lawmakers from Barisan Nasional. The Borneo states stuck loyally to Barisan Nasional despite the swing towards Pakatan Rakyat in Election 2008.
Sources close to Sulaiman also confirmed that the politician-cum-businessman has kept away from his coalition colleagues and the ongoing Parliament session. A few deputy ministers, when contacted by The Malaysian Insider, also gave similar remarks. "I have not seen him (Sulaiman) for last two weeks... we tried to call him many times but no response," said one deputy minister. Sulaiman is the scion of long-serving Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, who has ruled Sarawak since the 1980s.
Sulaiman's mother Puan Sri Laila Taib died few months back. Sulaiman was the former chairman of CMSB which also once owned RHB Bank and holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree. In the last 12th general election held in March 2008, Sulaiman stood as a candidate in the Kota Samarahan parliamentary seat previously held by his father.
Following his win, he was appointed a deputy minister of tourism in the administration of then-Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, and was retained by Najib last April.
