SUPP Serian sokong Riot pertahankan kerusi Posted: 26 Aug 2011 10:49 PM PDT Parti Rakyat Bersatu Sarawak (SUPP) cawangan Serian menyokong penuh agar Timbalan Menteri Luar Datuk Richard Riot dipilih sebagai calon untuk mempertahan kerusi parlimen Serian pada pilihan raya umum akan datang. Anggota cawangan berkenaan menganggap watak dan peranan yang dimainkan oleh Riot sebagai wakil rakyat di kawasan parlimen Serian selama 20 tahun begitu menyerlah, diakui dan disenangi oleh semua lapisan masyarakat di sana. "Ini terbukti dalam setiap pilihan raya parlimen diadakan, dalam mana beliau (Riot) telah mendapat kelebihan undi yang banyak serta meningkat," kata urus setia cawangan SUPP Serian dalam kenyataan di Kuching hari ini. Pada pilihan raya parlimen 2008, Riot, yang juga penolong setiausaha agung SUPP, menewaskan calon Parti Kebangsaan Sarawak (SNAP) Sylvester Belayong Jayang dengan majoriti undi sebanyak 13,427. Anggota Parlimen lima penggal itu memulakan karier politiknya pada 1990 setelah memenangi kerusi Serian sebagai anggota Bebas tetapi kemudian bertanding dengan tiket SUPP-Barisan Nasional (BN) dan menang besar dengan undi majoriti meningkat. - Bernama

Peguam: K'jaan tak rasional, takut pembangkang Posted: 26 Aug 2011 10:35 PM PDT Seorang peguam Inggeris yang mewakili pertubuhan hak Hindu yang diharamkan, Hindraf tetapi dihalang memasuki Malaysia untuk berjumpa dengan anak guamnya telah membidas kerajaan BN dalam wawancaranya yang agak kritikal dan disiarkan di akhbar Britain, The Guardian. Imran Khan (kiri) telah dihalang memasuki Malaysia pada 12 Ogos di ketika mendarat di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa KL (KLIA) atas alasan bahawa dia mungkin menimbulkan ancaman terhadap keselamatan negara. Beliau ditahan kira-kira 12 jam sebelum diusir pulang. Mengimbas kembali kejadian yang dilabelnya sebagai "menghina tetapi 'membuka mata'", Imran menulis bahawa dia datang ke Malaysia untuk mengumpul bukti bagi menyokong kes yang difailkan oleh pengerusi Hindraf P Waytha Moorthy. "Ketibaan saya di Malaysia telah menerima publisiti terlebih dahulu daripada pihak polis yang cuba menakut-nakutkan penganjur tempat di mana saya dijangka menemu-bual pihak-pihak yang membuat dakwaan berkenaan. "Justeru, ada kebimbangan apabila saya melaporkan diri di kaunter imigresen setiba di KLIA," tulis Imran. Mimpi ngerinya bermula selepas pasportnya diperiksa. Beliau diheret ke pejabat imigresen tanpa sebarang penjelasan. Namun, seorang lagi peguam yang terlibat dalam kes berkenaan, Suresh Grover (kanan), telah dibenarkan masuk ke negara ini. Lawatan kedua-duanya adalah sebahagian daripada usaha Hindraf untuk mempermantapkan kes mereka terhadap kerajaan British, yang dituduh mengabaikan kaum India tanpa perlindungan selepas membawa mereka masuk sebagai buruh ke Malaya ketika itu.

Jln Sultan: Is MCA minister subservient to SPAD? Posted: 26 Aug 2011 12:30 AM PDT Who is MCA trying to kid in the controversial acquisition of Petaling Street (Chinatown) land for the construction of the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT)? The MCA president Chua Soi Lek on Wednesday Aug 24, so proudly announced and promised that the 31 landowners on Kuala Lumpur's Jalan Sultan would be able to hold on to their property, after the government had agreed to reinforce their buildings and upon completion of the tunnelling beneath their shops allow the land to be returned to the owners. However, in less than 24 hours, Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) chairperson Syed Hamid Albar said the compulsory acquisition of the Jalan Sultan lots - where the KVMRT would run underground - was necessary because under land laws, landowners also owned the land that lies below ground. "We have to do compulsory acquisition of the land. It means that subsequently, they have to alienate the land above," Syed Hamid told reporters after a memorandum of understanding signing with Puspakom Sdn Bhd on Thursday. Syed Hamid added that although they were currently working on a solution to allow the traders to return to Chinatown, "there is no guarantee that it would eventually be returned to the owners". This again, as in the past, shows what MCA leaders say are meaningless and just a "damage control exercise" whenever controversial issues afflicting the Chinese community arise. In particular, can anyone really trust Chua to represent us? In dealing with such issues since Merdeka, the MCA continues to dish out crap, never sticking its neck out for the Chinese community. The biggest joke in this Chinatown issue is this: Why is the Transport Minister Kong Cho Ha keeping mum? Isn't he from MCA? Is the SPAD chairperson more powerful than Kong? Of course the answer is that the Umno SPAD chairperson is more powerful. Kong is keeping mum because his useless ministerial position - rendered useless by Kong due to his inaction - is more important than the Chinese community. If he objects, he will be removed by Umno, just like what happened to former MCA president Ong Tee Keat who foolishly knocked his head against the brick wall of the multi-billion-ringgit Port Klang Free Zone (PKF) financial scandal. Kong, after taking office, displayed his 101 percent loyalty to the powers that be by immediately sweeping the PKFZ probe under the carpet, thus safeguarding his ministerial position. Under such circumstances, do you really expect the dumb Kong or the MCA to defend the interests of the Chinese community or give a damn for a Chinese heritage zone? It is really appalling to note that, of late, non-Umno ministers have been reduced to just puppets, toothless leaders who are completely subservient to Umno and the powers that be. These ministers are powerless to Umno-formed and Umno-linked commissions, committees, boards, etc. So Malaysians, isn't it crystal clear that it does not really make any difference whether there are MCA, Gerakan or MIC ministers after the next general election? As for the Malays, only the cronies of Umno Malays will continue to prosper while the majority of Malays continue to struggle in poverty.

What is Merdeka without free and fair elections? Posted: 25 Aug 2011 11:31 PM PDT As we draw near to Merdeka Day, I begin to reflect on the real meaning of Merdeka. We may have gained independence from the British in 1957 but have we gained true freedom from our colonial masters? Have we grown as a nation united with one common goal or vision? Or have we become more disunited since 1957, having lost our direction as to where we are heading to as an independent nation. Despite 54 years of independence, are we really free when we have oppressive laws in place, such as the Internal Security Act (ISA), the Emergency Ordinance and The University and University Colleges Act (UUCA)? For me, the real meaning of Merdeka is achieved when we have freedom to determine our destiny through a free and fair electoral system. As a young Malaysian, I realise the importance of being an agent of change, not because we want change for the sake of change, but because we want real change that will transform this nation to be an Asian tiger once again. Many took part in the Bersih 2.0 rally because they know how unjust the Malaysian electoral system is. On July 9, Malaysians braved tear gas and water cannons because of their strong desire to see real change for a better Malaysia. These are the true present generation of Merdeka warriors in the 21st century. It is simply incomprehensible that as a nation, we still have to rely on archaic laws, such as the recently used Emergency Ordinance on Malaysians who had no intent to declare war on His Majesty but merely to demand free and fair elections as a tax payer and as an ordinary citizen. It is simply unacceptable for a modern nation like Malaysia to depend on such laws which are increasingly being used as a political tool for oppression to scare Malaysians into submission when they have done no wrong but merely to wish for a more transparent and corrupt free electoral system. It is with this backdrop, that the BN government has clearly lost its moral authority to rule with their brutal crackdown on Bersih participants during both pre and post-July 9peaceful rally. What moral authority does BN have when freedom of assembly and freedom of speech under the Federal Constitution is rendered meaningless? Instead, oppressive laws such as the Police Act are being used as a political tool to deny us of our basic human rights by giving flimsy and lame excuses such as protecting public safety and security. We should not be cheated of our basic freedoms, but rather we must draw inspiration from the Bersih 2.0 rally when the true spirit of Merdeka was on display, when Malaysians from all races walked together hand in hand demanding free and fair elections. These are the true Malaysians who have overshadowed the celebration of Merdeka Day this year. Merdeka to me means freedom from fear, as well as freedom from oppression. It is a precious personal characteristic that we must have as ordinary Malaysians fighting for our basic freedom in determining our destiny as Malaysians. If we truly love our country, we must take up the fight for freedom and justice in our land. The most basic fight for freedom now is for free and fair elections. It is only when this is achieved, that we can at last experience the real meaning and true spirit of Merdeka.

Arahan terbaru SPR 'menyusahkan', kata DAP Posted: 25 Aug 2011 09:37 PM PDT DAP hari ini mempertikaikan arahan terkini yang dikeluarkan Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) supaya penolong pendaftar daripada parti politik mengemukakan salinan kad pengenalan bagi setiap pendaftaran pengundi baru. Setiausaha Publisiti DAP Tony Pua berkata arahan berkenaan tidak menyelesaikan masalah yang timbul, termasuk pendaftaran ke atas pemegang taraf kerakyatan penduduk tetap. Sebaliknya, arahan berkenaan menyusahkan penolong pendaftar berkenaan untuk menjalankan tugas mereka, katanya dalam satu sidang media hari ini. Beliau berkata demikian ketika mengulas satu arahan yang dikeluarkan oleh pejabat SPR Selangor kepada parti politik pada Isnin lalu. Surat berkenaan menyatakan bahawa arahan berkenaan digunapakai memandangkan SPR telah menolak hampir 50 peratus borang pendaftaran pemilih yang dikemukakan oleh penolong pendaftar lantikan. "(Pendaftaran) ditolak disebabkan penolong pendaftar mendaftar mereka yang telah mati, alamat tidak sama di dalam kad pengenalan, mereka yang telah mendaftar sebanyak dua kali serta terdapat juga yang mendaftar penduduk tetap," surat berkenaan dipetik. Pua berkata, langkah itu juga akan mengehadkan jumlah pengundi yang akan dapat didaftarkan oleh parti politik. Pua berkata, tindakan itu juga tidak adil kepada DAP, yang telah menerima pujian daripada SPR kerana menghantar rekod pendaftaran pengundi "paling bersih." Sedangkan terdapat parti tertentu yang didakwa menghantar rekod pendaftaran yang mempunyai kadar kesilapan yang amat lebih tinggi. "Kadar kesilapan (data) kami adalah kurang daripada 10 peratus. "Mereka sepatutnya hukum parti politik yang hantar data bukan-bukan, yang mempunyai lebih daripada 40 peratus data yang direka-reka, atau (individu) yang telah mati," katanya.

Editor Utusan, wartawan dilepaskan dengan amaran Posted: 25 Aug 2011 09:37 PM PDT Seorang editor kanan dan seorang wartawan akhbar harian bahasa Melayu - Utusan Malaysia - diberi amaran oleh Mahkamah Tinggi Shah Alam hari ini kerana menerbitkan satu artikel yang menyerang kredibiliti seorang peguam dalam perbicaraan kes pembunuhan Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya. Hakim Datuk Akhtar Tahir juga mengarahkan ahli parlimen Padang Serai N Gobalakrishnan hadir di mahkamah untuk menjelaskan komennya yang disiarkan dalam Utusan yang mengkritik peguambela Manjeet Singh Dhillon. Hakim memberitahu ketua pengarang Utusan, Datuk Abdul Aziz Ishak dan wartawannya, Raja Syahrir Abu Bakar bahawa kenyataan dalam artikel tersebut adalah dilarang kerana kes tersebut masih berjalan. Manjeet (kanan) membangkitkan perkara itu minggu lalu dan berkata artikel itu adalah serangan peribadi terhadapnya kerana mendakwa dia "selalu burukkan kerajaan". Artikel itu mengulangi dua kali bahawa Manjeet adalah anggota pasukan peguam yang mewakili ketua umum PKR, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dalam perbicaraan kes liwat yang sedang berjalan sekarang, tetapi sebenarnya ia tidak betul.

Pindaan undi pos dijadual dibentang Oktober Posted: 24 Aug 2011 11:38 PM PDT Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) mengumumkan hari ini bahawa ia berhasrat untuk menukar pengundi pos kepada 'pengundi awal', ekoran dakwaan berlaku penipuan undi menggunakan undi pos. Bercakap kepada pemberita di Kuala Lumpur, pengerusi SPR, Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Yusof (kiri) berkata pindaan undang-undang itu diperlukan untuk membolehkan ia dirangka untuk pembentangan di sidang Parlimen Oktober ini. "Hasrat kami adalah untuk mengubah status semua anggota polis dan Angkatan Tentera dan pasangan mereka,yang menjadi pengundi pos, kepada 'pengundi awal', yang boleh mengundi dua atau tiga hari sebelum hari mengundi," kata Abdul Aziz. Bagaimanapun, katanya, mereka yang bertugas jauh dari kem dan tidak boleh hadir untuk mengundi awal, masih boleh memohon menjadi pengundi pos. Katanya, ini termasuk mereka yang bertugas di pos sempadan atau bertugas membuat rondaan di laut. Bercakap dalam taklimat mengenai tuntutan BERSIH 2.0, Abdul Aziz berkata, dibandingkan dengan undi pos, pengundian awal adalah sama seperti pengundian biasa dan terbuka kepada penelitian ejen-ejen parti politik.

Uyghur Chinese Muslims subjected to prejudice Posted: 24 Aug 2011 02:13 AM PDT It is true that Chinese Muslims can now perform Hajj in some small numbers. It is also true there are some Chinese-style mosques in certain areas. However, these developments are a drop in the bucket if you consider the Muslim population in China is at least forty million. There must be some token religious freedom to get cooperation in business from the western world, hence these few drops in the bucket of liberalisation. On the ground, however, the bottom line is that the Uyghur Muslim Chinese, who are a Turkic people, cannot use their own language in their own schools. This is exactly what Istanbul did to the Kurds in East Turkey for many years, although with the gradual resurgence of Islam in Turkey, Kurds can now use their own language without being arrested (as they had been for many years). Likewise, the beginnings of Acehnese dissent many years ago only involved the right to use an Islamic curriculum in their public schools, which they were forbidden to do by Jakarta, who insisted they use the nationalized Pancasila school materials that treated Islam on a par with all other religions. Pancasila had been purged of all Muslim terminology or specific teachings. It was only after years of being refused this exemption from Pancasila-based elementary and secondary education that the Acehnese, who are 98 percent Muslim, became totally rebellious. An American student, who had come to NW China to study the Chinese language, found he had made a mistake, and after a few years' effort, went back to the USA. The mistake was that his Uyghur friends were routinely humiliated by the local Han Chinese (most of whom have been 'transmigrated' to this area), in a manner that was reminiscent of prejudice against blacks in the American South in the 1950's. Indeed, the Uyghur's may be considered the 'niggers' of China, and the American student was consorting with 'niggers'. The American was a fine scholar, whose affection for the Chinese was ruined by this experience. He is now a graduate student in mathematics in the USA. Why is it, in the modern world, that people, who have nothing in common with neighbouring people, are so often required to live by force of arms within a polity that has nothing to do with them, and then treated so badly for their efforts? And then deprived of even their own language in the process. The Southern Thai Muslims (Malay by race) are poor and unwanted in the same way. Why should they be interested in a Buddhist school curriculum originating in Bangkok? And why should this region be one of the poorest in Thailand? It seems that Malaysia is now setting another bad example, by exposing to deportation another five Uyghur Chinese who were arrested this month. And this incident in the month of Ramadhan, occurred amid criticism over Malaysia's recent deportation of 11 others to China. This is indeed appalling. The least that this Muslim-dominated government could do is to them give access to the United Nation's officials. The Uyghur are clever people, and they have access to certain modernised facilities, which you can see in photos from NW China. Sooner or later, however, they are going to win their own integrity back again, either within or outside of present-day China. Their plight deserves to be more widely understood by westerners who are going through a certain adulation of the Chinese economic achievements, and repeating their well-known blindness to the human rights abuses of peoples being thoroughly and cruelly oppressed by those peoples with whom they wish to do business. Interestingly, these Uyghur Turkic peoples were among the original settlers of modern-day Muslim Turkey, who are the Muslims most closely related to the European West. Only the Balkan Muslims are closer, and only after unspeakable sufferings of their own. We owe the Uyghurs our attention and our whole-hearted support, as we finally gave to the Balkans. AZRIL MOHD AMIN is vice-president, Muslim Lawyers Association of Malaysia.

A despicable piece of journalism Posted: 24 Aug 2011 12:55 AM PDT The Council of Churches of Malaysia welcomes the apology tendered by the Malay language daily Sinar Harian over its article 'Matlamat Gerakan Kristian' (Objectives of the Christian movement) published on Aug 23. They have admitted that the information published in the article is inaccurate and in error. However we note that there has been no expression of remorse. The suggestions that Christian groups would encourage immoral activities as part of an attempt to propagate their faith is clearly preposterous, erroneous, inflammatory, and a flagrant attack on another religion. It is our view that any reasonable person would have found the article totally offensive, not just to the Christians in our country but to all decent-minded and peace-loving people. This despicable piece of journalism, and other stories like it, should never be repeated. The management and the editorial department of Sinar Harian must now prove the sincerity of their apology by publicly stating what measures they are taking to ensure that stories of this nature are never published again in their newspaper. Unless there are systemic changes in their editorial processes, and proper procedures and guidelines are put in place, there is no guarantee that the newspaper, or others like it, will not repeat the harm done on another occasion. A respected and responsible newspaper must ensure at all times that it is never a party to callous and insensitive reporting bent on destroying the good relationship among the religious communities in our country. Rev Dr Hermen Shastri is general secretary, Council of Churches of Malaysia.

PAS: 'Daftar pemilih kotor' untuk tumbangkan S'gor Posted: 23 Aug 2011 10:22 PM PDT Dewan Pemuda PAS Pusat mendakwa pihaknya mempunyai "daftar pemilih kotor" yang didakwa boleh menumbangkan kerajaan negeri Selangor pada pilihan raya umum akan datang. Timbalan Pengerusi Lajnah Pemulihan Demokrasi dan Mobilisasi Mohd Adram Musa berkata pihaknya mempunyai data seramai "puluhan ribu" yang didakwa "pengundi klon". "Apa yang kami ada, daftar pemilih kotor yang sudah cukup untuk menjatuhkan kerajaan negeri Selangor. "Adakah ini kerja-kerja seperti mana yang disebut oleh perdana menteri yang berkata melakukan apa sahaja untuk mengambil balik Selangor? "Apa yang kami ada, sudah cukup (untuk) menjatuhkan kerajaan Selangor," katanya. Menurutnya lagi, berdasarkan analisis pihaknya jumlah pengundi klon itu, membolehkan BN merampas sekurang-kurang sepuluh kerusi DUN di negeri itu. Sehubungan itu, beliau mendesak Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya dan Jabatan Pendaftaran Negera menjelaskan jumlah pengundi dari daftar pemilih yang telah digugurkan dan yang akan digugurkan. Pihaknya memberi masa 14 hari kepada kedua-dua pihak tersebut untuk membuat penjelasan. [Baca berita penuh]

Liwat II: Pakar buntu ditanya sperma dimasukkan Posted: 23 Aug 2011 09:41 PM PDT Pendakwa dalam perbicaraan kes liwat terhadap Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim hari ini membangkitkan Kemungkinan sperma sengaja dimasukkan ke dalam dubur pengadu, dan oleh itu berkemungkinan ada orang ketiga yang mempunyai akses kepada sperma tertuduh. Peguamcara 11, Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abidan (kiri) bertanyakan soalan tersebut kepada saksi ketiga pihak pembela, Dr David Wells - pakar patologi forensik Australia - mengenai kemungkinan tersebut. Kemungkinan itu ditimbulkan oleh Yusof ekoran dakwaan pihak peguambela Datuk Seri Anwar bahawa berlaku pencemaran dan gangguan keterangan mengenai bagaimana sperma itu boleh masuk ke dalam dubur pengadu Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan. Yusof: Jika seseorang memasukkan sperma itu, dia mesti ada sperma orang berkenaan? Wells: (berfikir seketika) Perkara ini saya serahkan kepada pakar DNA. Ahli kimia, Dr Seah Lay Hong, dalam keterangannya sebelum ini berkata, beliau menemui sperma dari sampel air mani yang diambil dari dubur Saiful. Seorang lagi ahli kimia, Dr Nor Aidora kemudiannya mendakwa beliau membandingkan DNA tersebut dan mendapati ia milik Anwar. Wells (kanan) juga ditanya mengenai jangka hayat sperma, dan menurutnya ia boleh bertahan antara 36 dan 48 jam. "Saya tidak selesa jika mengambil sampel selepas 36 jam," katanya. Dalam kes Saiful, sampel tersebut diambil dalam sampel dalam 56 jam - iaitu dua hari - selepas kejadian liwat itu didakwa berlaku apabila dia pergi ke Hospital Kuala Lumpur. [Baca berita penuh]

Reformasi segera atau BERSIH 3.0 Posted: 23 Aug 2011 01:54 AM PDT Pemuda PAS menyokong pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat yang bertegas tidak akan menyertai jawatankuasa khas parlimen yang dibentuk kerajaan kerana ia sekadar gimik politik perdana menteri semata-mata. Bagi Pemuda PAS penubuhan jawatankuasa yang tidak tertakluk dengan tarikh pilihan raya umum ke- 13 tidak akan membawa apa-apa makna terhadap sistem pilihan raya yang sedang dibualkan sekarang. Pemuda PAS mahukan kerajaan konsisten terhadap semua lapan tuntutan BERSIH dan tidak bersikap retorik dalam menghadapi kemarahan rakyat. Jika pilihan raya umum dilangsungkan dalam keadaan jawatankuasa khas parlimen tidak sempat membuat apa-apa resolusi, apakah maknanya penubuhan jawatankuasa ini? Ini lebih membawa maksud penghinaan terhadap parlimen itu sendiri. Tidak ada ertinya Pakatan duduk dalam jawatankuasa itu jika semua tuntutan tidak dilaksanakan dalam pilihan raya umum nanti. Pemuda PAS mempersoalkan bilakah kerajaan akan melaksanakan reformasi pilihan raya jika pada pilihan raya depan tidak sempat dilaksanakan? Adakah kerajaan mahu rakyat menunggu sehingga pilihan raya umum ke-14, atau lebih lama dari itu? Ini membuktikan bahawa Datuk Seri Najib Razak sendiri tidak ikhlas dalam melakukan usaha pemulihan sistem pilihan raya. Jawatankuasa khas parlimen sekadar tempelan bagi mengambil hati rakyat yang masih terluka. DPPM mengingatkan kerajaan bagaimana sistem pilihanr aya di Malaysia menjadi bahan ketawa masyarakat antarabangsa - daftar pemilih yang meragukan; pengundi klon di mana-mana; pemastautin tetap mendapat hak kewarganegaraan sekelip mata dan diberikan kelayakan mengundi; serta undi pos yang terdedah tembelangnya dengan beberapa pendedahan bekas anggota tentera. Apakah alasan paling konkrit untuk diberikan melainkan reformasi keseluruhan dalam sistem pilihan raya? Rakyat keseluruhannya amat mengharapkan perubahan drastik dan total dalam sistem pilihan raya yang semakin pincang. Sistem pilihan raya di Malaysia sudah tidak dipercayai lagi untuk dijadikan sandaran. Menunggu sehingga selepas pilihan raya umum ke-13 akan menghilangkan kesabaran rakyat. Pemuda PAS bimbang rakyat akan melakukan sendiri reformasi tersebut tanpa menunggu pilihan raya. Pemuda PAS mengingatkan kerajaan bahawa zaman retorik politik sudah berlalu kerana rakyat semakin cerdik membaca permainan politik BN. Tiga bulan yang dijanjikan oleh BERSIH masih ditagih dan masa semakin suntuk buat kerajaan BN melakukan usaha. Laksanakan segera reformasi pilihan raya sebelum pilihan raya ke-13 jika tidak mahukan hukuman rakyat dalam BERSIH 3.0. Riduan Mohd Nor merupakan ketua penerangan Pemuda PAS.
