Mismah tak ingin lagi diwawancara

Posted: 19 Aug 2011 09:28 PM PDT

Selepas dua minggu mencuri perhatian ekoran dikatakan mendapat kerakyatan dalam tempoh empat jam, Mismah -- pekerja di sebuah syarikat jualan langsung -- kini enggan diwawancara pihak media.

Baginya, cukuplah berita yang ditulis tentang dirinya oleh pelbagai media sejak hari pertama disiarkan sehinggalah dikunjungi Menteri Pertanian dan Industri Asas Tani Datuk Seri Noh Omar baru-baru ini.

mismah in sinar harian 140811 front page story imageKetika ditemui Malaysiakini di gerai tempat wanita itu berniaga di ibu negara semalam, Mismah -- anak kelahiran Bawaen, Indonesia -- itu bagaimanapun masih mesra dan ramah berbual.

Jelasnya, beliau cuma tidak mahu lagi kenyataannya dipetik media mahupun gambarnya di gerai itu dirakamkan, walaupun dipujuk berkali-kali.

"Sudah banyak tentang diri saya ditulis," katanya petang semalam menjelang waktu berbuka puasa di gerai kecil 10 kali 10 kaki di depan sebuah kedai baju di pusat bandar Kuala Lumpur.

Selepas bekerja sebagai tukang sapu di sebelah siang, pada malamnya beliau mengambil kesempatan meniaga sempena hari raya yang bakal tiba hujung bulan ini.

Ketika kunjungan itu, Mismah, 47 kelihatan menunggu pelanggan di gerai baju kurungnya. Beliau tidak lagi menjual tudung seperti dilaporkan baru-baru ini.

Memandangkan hujan agak lebat pada masa itu, keadaan agak lengang dan tidak ramai mengunjungi gerainya -- tidak seperti kelaziman di Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman yang sesak setiap kali menjelang musim perayaan.

Tiga soalan, jawapan off record

Selepas dilaporkan Malaysiakini pada 2 Ogos, isu sama ada ibu kepada empat anak itu merupakan penduduk tetap (PR) yang diberikan hak mengundi hangat diperdebatkan.

Tambahan lagi apabila statusnya di laman dalam laman web Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN) bertukar daripada PR kepada warganegara selepas empat jam berita itu disiarkan.

gerai mismah jalan tar 200811 2JPN bagaimanapun sehari selepas itu membuat penjelasan bahawa dakwaan itu tidak benar dan kewarganegaraan wanita itu sebenarnya diluluskan pada 31 Januari lalu.

Laporan itu disusuli penampilannya kali pertama kepada Sinar Harian pada 12 Ogos -- sepuluh hari selepas itu di mana beliau dilaporkan menolak mendapat kerakyatan mudah melalui "pintu belakang".

Sebaliknya, jelas Mismah, beliau juga menjalani laluan sukar apabila mendapat kerakyatan setelah menjadi PR selama 17 tahun dan dua kali memohon menjadi warganegara.

Kunjungan Malaysiakini semalam bagi mendapatkan penjelasan bagaimana Mismah mendapat taraf PKR dalam tempoh beberapa bulan sahaja ketika masih belasan tahun dan siapa yang membawanya masuk ke negara ini pada tahun 1982.

Selain itu, masih ramai tertanya-tanya apa yang mendorongnya membuat permohonan baru di Putrajaya setelah gagal kali pertama dan apa yang mendorongnya mendafar sebagai pemilih tidak lama selepas mendapat taraf itu.

Sebahagian daripada soalan itu dijawab oleh Mismah tetapi Malaysiakini tidak dapat menyiarkan atas permintaannya supaya perbualan itu tidak dirakamkan atau off record.

Ketika beredar, keramahan Mismah jelas kelihatan apabila beliau sempat mencadangkan tempat berbuka puasa sekitar kawasan itu kepada pemberita dan juruvideo Malaysiakini.

Mat Sabu: Jangan heret tentera ke politik

Posted: 19 Aug 2011 08:38 PM PDT

Terdapat cubaan sesetengah pihak mengheret pihak tentera kepada politik partisan dan ini suatu penghinaan kepada Yang di-Pertuan Agong, dakwa timbalan presiden PAS.

Mohamad Sabu yang lebih dikenali sebagai Mat Sabu berkata, pasukan keselamatan sejak merdeka memainkan peranan baik menjaga keselamatan negara tanpa terlibat dalam politik partisan.

NONEBagaimanapun, tambahnya, sejak perhimpunan BERSIH 2.0 pada 9 Julai, pihak tentera ditarik ke kancah politik dengan pelbagai cara, termasuk melalui latihan bersama mengawal orang ramai dengan polis.

Bercakap kepada pemberita di Komtar, Pulau Pinang, Mohamad mahukan semua usaha itu dihentikan kerana ia tidak sihat dan tentera sepatutnya mengekalkan sikap neutral sepanjang masa.

Mohamad merujuk kepada pengakuan empat bekas tentera pada Rabu yang mengaku pernah terlibat dalam manipulasi undi pos semasa berkhidmat.

Malaysiakini :: Letters


Does BN owe extended reign to election fraud?

Posted: 19 Aug 2011 02:58 AM PDT

Around the middle of last year the federal government proposed a petrol rebate of RM126 for cars 1,000cc and below and RM54 for motorcycles 250cc and below to lessen the burden suffered by the poor and the low-income group due to the so-called 'subsidy rationalisation' aka. price-hikes.

More recently, due to the ever-rising cost of basic necessities and foodstuffs, Food Stamps have been touted as a way to help lessen the people's burden.

These proposals seem to have been put on the back-burner with the usual accompanying statements from the government such as "we will conduct a feasibility study ..." or "we will set up a committee to first study ..." and so on and so forth.

It is anybody's guess whether these ideas will come into fruition but one thing for sure is that the government can always rely on the public's less than elephantine memory as a convenient means of escaping their responsibilities.

Although the opposition can remind the government of these proposals, they can only do so much because without public pressure the government will act deaf and dumb. In Malaysian street lingo it is simply known as 'buat bodoh' (play dumb).

Further to that, since 2005, the government has vowed to improve the public transport but till today, it is still in disarray. The Rapid bus service does not live up to its name while the commuter trains are always delayed.

These issues of the present government's inefficiency and empty promises are not to be taken lightly. It is amazing that they continue to be voted in time and time again. Or is their victory attributed to election fraud?

If it is the former, then Malaysians must be the most saintly voters in the world for continuing to put up with the present government but if it is the latter, then it is time that the public speak out vociferously against the hanky-panky that is perpetuated by the Election Commission courtesy of instructions from the federal government itself.

This sorry state of affairs must end right now or else Malaysia will be left behind by our neighbours in the South-East Asian region.

Jais raid: Leaders must stem hate campaign

Posted: 19 Aug 2011 12:42 AM PDT

It is with deep regret that Jais' raid on a fundraising dinner at the DUMC church is being used as a political tool to win votes at the expense of the rakyat.

Firstly, no warrant of search was issued and obligatory reasons for the investigation were not made known at time of raid. Secondly, salacious details of the raid and names of the people were released to the press.

The details printed in the media gave an impression that DUMC was proselytising Muslims and that Malays attending the dinner at the church had dishonoured their faith. This has tarnished the image of the church and these Malays, subjecting them to ridicule when in fact no offence has been yet established.

Even of greater sadness is that politicians are using these unproven insinuations as truth and irrationally conclude that objecting to the legality of the raid is disrespectful of the Islamic faith.

Senator Ezam claims that media like Malaysiakini are anti-Islamic, presumably for reporting true facts, for which they should be burned. In so doing, he is fanning the fears of the Islamic community into hate.

The conduct of such politicians are irresponsible and may well amount to a criminal offence.

This incendiary game of inciting religious hatred based on unfounded allegations or half truths is dangerous and is attempting to divide the peace of all Malaysians for their own political interest.

Allowing politicians and media to print half truths without sanction will only inflame the fear and ignorance of citizens to hate and violence. It will also be fodder for others to reinforce an image of Islam as being an extremist faith and further the divide. The peace and unity we all long for to build a beautiful and progressive Malaysia will be undone.

Our leaders and especially the ruling authority over Jais have to step in to manage the overzealous handling of the investigation by Jais, in breach of rules and procedure designed to safeguard the interests of all parties and religious groups.

Such breaches include irresponsibly leaking information to the press, subjecting its suspects to ridicule and shame without going through a formal process of proof.

The failure of leaders thus far to stop incendiary remarks which play up imagined fears based on religious prejudice is sorely absent.

Our leaders have to do what is right for the rakyat and courageously uphold rule of law by ensuring Jais acts in accordance with constitutional safeguards that protect sensitivities of both Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
