Ayah saya seorang bekas tentera. Katanya , sepanjang dia menjadi tentera dulu tak pernah sekali dia melihat kertas undi , tahu tahu dah ada makhluk yang undikan untuk dia. Angkatan Tentera Malaysia dan PDRM ada tak peraturan khusus untuk anggotanya dalam bab politik ni ? Kalau kita perhatikan tentera US ada garis panduan lengkap CAN and CANNOT untuk tentera dalam politik.
Kisah ayah saya ini ada disiarkan dalam akhbar Sinar Harian dan Harakah pada pautan berikut :

Ketua Tentera Filipina Jeneral Reynaldo dalam pilihanraya umum di Filipina bulan Mei 2010 telah berikrar akan mempastikan tentera adalah apartisan atau nonpartisan.
Ketua Tentera Amerika Syarikat Jeneral David Petraeus memilih untuk tidak mengundi dalam pilihanraya sejak dia berpangkat Mejar Jeneral untuk mempastikan tentera bawahan bebas untuk memilih presiden daripada mana-mana parti poliltik.
Adakah Malaysia mempunyai sebarang peraturan dan panduan untuk tentera dan polis dalam isu politik dan pilihanraya ?
Adakah Ketua Turus Angkatan Tentera Malaysia boleh mencontohi sikap yang diambil oleh Ketua Tentera Filipina dan Amerika Syarikat dalam mempastikan kestabilan politik dalam negara dan mempastikan institusi tentera dan polis dipandang tinggi oleh masyarakat dengan mengambil sikap nonpartisan ?
Ahli politik samada pemerintah dan pembangkang , kedua-duanya harus memainkan peranan dalam hal ini agar institusi tentera dan polis dipandang tinggi masyarakat dan dapat menjaga keamanan dan kestabilan negara.

SPR SASAR GUNA PENGUNDIAN AWAL PADA PILIHAN RAYA UMUM KE-13

ARMY VOWS TO REMAIN NON-PARTISAN IN MAY ELECTIONS
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 18:36:00 04/08/2010
Army chief and Lt. Gen. Reynaldo Mapagu has vowed to ensure a non-partisan Philippine Army amid rumors of failure of elections and the rise of a military junta.
“As soldiers, we should be the epitome of law-abiding citizens. Gone were the days when we acted like masters. We are now public servants who should serve the people,” Mapagu said.

THE NONPARTISAN MILITARY
Officers should exercise their citizen’s right to vote
BY CAPT. CHARLES G. KELS
In an interview with National Public Radio this spring, Gen. David Petraeus was asked about the prospect of a new president taking office next year who was committed to an expedited withdrawal of troops from Iraq. Petraeus responded with thoughtfulness and propriety, emphasizing civilian control of the military and the proper apolitical role of the armed forces.
But then the general said something surprising.
“Look,” Petraeus explained, “I haven’t voted in elections in some time actually.”
“So you don’t vote yourself?” the correspondent followed up.
“I have not since I was a major general,” he confirmed.

Kat Amerika tak pernah kongkong media massa paksa sokong kerajaan.
Salam. Sebagai bekas tentera yang pernah menjadi pegawai pengurus pusat undi pos sebanyak dua kali, ingin saya memaklumkan bahawa terdapat peraturan, panduan dan arahan khusus mengenai pilihanraya untuk anggota tentera, Darat, Laut dan Udara. Perintah Majlis Angkatan Tentera perlu dipatuhi. Pada 1998, arahan dan panduan khusus untuk mengendalikan pusat undi pos telah dikeluarkan oleh Kementerian Pertahanan. Arahan ini masih digunapakai.
