DULU mereka mencadang; SEKARANG mereka menolak.

Inilah pemimpin yang menjaga kepentingan rakyat atau menjaga kepentingan diri?

 

Umno cadang Pusat batal Jambatan Kedua, NCER
·         Umno Pulau Pinang akan mencadangkan kepada Kerajaan Pusat supaya membatalkan semua projek mega yang dicadangkan di negeri ini, termasuk Jambatan Kedua Pulau Pinang dan Wilayah Ekonomi Koridor Utara (NCER).

Perkhidmatan feri Pulau Pinang yang mengalami kerugian operasi kira-kira RM14 juta setahun, juga mungkin dihentikan jika kerajaan negeri enggan mengambil alih operasi atau tambang tidak dinaikkan.

Perkhidmatan bas awam, RapidPenang yang memulakan perkhidmatan di negeri ini pada 31 Julai lalu, juga mungkin dihentikan.
 Setiausaha Badan Perhubungan Umno negeri, Datuk Azhar Ibrahim, berkata cadangan itu dibuat berikutan rakyat negeri ini tidak menghargai jasa kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) yang berjuang untuk kemajuan Pulau Pinang.

“Ketika BN sedang memajukan negeri, rakyat pula yang tidak mahu dengan menolak BN. Kita akan syorkan kepada Kerajaan Pusat supaya menghentikan semua projek mega dan projek Kerajaan Pusat di negeri ini,” katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang media selepas menghadiri mesyuarat Umno negeri yang pertama selepas Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-12, yang dipengerusikan Timbalan Pengerusi Badan Perhubungan Umno negeri, Datuk Seri Abdul Rashid Abdullah di Bangunan Umno di sini, semalam.
 Hadir sama, ketua Umno bahagian di negeri ini serta beberapa Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (Adun) yang menang pada pilihan raya lalu. Dalam pilihan raya itu, Umno menang 11 daripada 14 kerusi yang diwakilinya.

Antara projek mega yang dirancang oleh Kerajaan Pusat di Pulau Pinang termasuk pembinaan Jalan Lingkaran Luar Pulau Pinang (PORR) yang bernilai RM1.02 bilion dan monorel (RM1.2 bilion) di bahagian pulau serta Butterworth Sentral di Seberang Prai.

Jambatan Kedua Pulau Pinang sepanjang 24 kilometer menghubungkan Batu Maung dekat sini dan Batu Kawan di Seberang Prai, dijangka membabitkan kos antara RM3 bilion hingga RM4 bilion.

Azhar yang dilantik ketua pembangkang dalam Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) berkata, Umno Pulau Pinang mahu kerajaan campuran DAP dan Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) melaksanakan sendiri projek membangunkan negeri ini.
 Sambil menegaskan Umno bukannya mahu membalas dendam kerana kalah dalam pilihan raya lalu, beliau berkata, kerajaan negeri perlu membuktikan kebolehan dan kemampuan kepada rakyat negeri ini.

“Kita bukannya membalas dendam tetapi ia adalah tanggungjawab kerajaan baru untuk bangunkan Pulau Pinang,” katanya.

Diminta mengulas tindakan berkenaan boleh memberi kesan kepada rakyat, Azhar yang juga Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri kawasan Penaga, berkata: “Ini yang rakyat mahu, dan mahu pimpinan baru… rakyat yang pilih”.

Lim: PM didn’t get the people’s message

The government’s refusal to release the five Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) leaders detained under the Internal Security Act is proof that the administration has not heard the “message” of the people in the March 8 political tsunami.

syed hamid albarThis was the view of DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang who criticised Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar for denying the five - P Uthayakumar, V Ganabatirau, K Vasantha Kumar, R Kengadharan, and M Manoharan - their freedom.

“Hamid’s explanation is completely unacceptable. (His refusal shows) that the second (Prime Minister) Abdullah (Ahmad Badawi) administration has not really heard the voice of the people in the March 8 political tsunami for change towards a more democratic, accountable, just and progressive Malaysian society,” he said in a statement.

On Friday, Hamid said the government cannot simply react to political parties’ call in releasing Manoharan who won the Kota Alam Shah state seat by a 7,184-vote majority over incumbent Ching Su Chen of Barisan Nasional.

“We have to react towards what is public safety and peace and will make due considerations if there is no threat to national security,” he reportedly said.

No proof of links

Lim commented that Hamid’s reluctance to release the detainees is because the ISA detention of the Hindraf quintet last December, was the result of calls by Barisan Nasional component parties and had nothing whatsoever to do with national security.

After the Hindraf rally on Nov 25, the five were subjected to a slew of charges for sedition and illegal assembly. They were eventually detained for being linked to terrorist organisations.

lim kit siang dap pc 130208 seriousHowever the police or the PM has yet to disclose any proof of these links.

“Having myself being detained twice for a total of 35 months under the ISA, I can vouch that ISA detentions had been used as political instruments to suppress dissent which have no relationship whatsoever with national security,” the DAP stalwart asserted.

In 1969, Lim was detained under the ISA for 18 months. He was again victim to ISA during Operation Lalang in 1987 and was held without trial for 17 months.

Lim also said that releasing the Hindraf five will serve as a litmus test whether BN component parties will speak up against the arrogant, undemocratic and unjust policies and attitudes forced on them by Umno Ministers and leaders.

“Let the immediate and unconditional release of the Manoharan and the other four Hindraf leaders from ISA detention be the first test of MCA, MIC and Gerakan post-March 8 political tsunami.

“Firstly, whether the MCA, Gerakan and MIC ministers and deputy ministers are prepared to ask the Cabinet next Wednesday to end the ISA abuse and detention of the five Hindraf leaders.

“Secondly, whether MCA, Gerakan and MIC national leadership are prepared to submit a joint memorandum to the prime minister for the immediate and unconditional release of the Hindraf five from ISA,” he challenged.

Cabinet stonewall

The Ipoh Timor parliamentarian also criticised the first Cabinet meeting last Wednesday for creating all-round national disappointment as there were no positive indications that the second Abdullah administration would be a reformist one.

“Proposals for far-reaching judicial reforms to address the two-decade long subversion of the independence, integrity and quality of the judiciary came up against a stonewall in the Cabinet,” he said.

zaid ibrahim“Even the unsatisfactory and inadequate proposal by the de facto law minister Zaid Ibrahim that the government should apologise to the judges who were victims of the 1988 judicial crisis could find no acceptance,” he added.

Last week, Zaid mooted the idea that the government needed to apologise to former Lord President Salleh Abas and other Supreme Court judges who were sacked in the fallout of the 1988 judicial crisis.

However, the minister and reformist lawyer said the cabinet was still considering it and it was speculated that his view had been rejected by the rest of his colleagues during the cabinet meeting.

4 Sebab mengapa Tuanku sangat murka Idris!


Oleh kerana Idris Jusoh dan kuncu-kuncunya sudah terlalu biadap dan derhaka pada Sultan, maka disini diperturunkan sebahagian sebab musabab mengapa Tuanku sangat murka kepadanya. Maklumat ini diperolehi dari sumber yang sangat rapat dengan pihak Istana Terengganu!

Tuanku SANGAT MURKA kerana :

1)   Idris Jusoh memasukkan duit royalti minyak sebanyak RM800 juta ke dalam akaunnya. Duit itu diuruskan oleh Wan Farid, Wan Hisham & Khairy Jamaluddin!
2)   Projek Monsoon Cup adalah silap mata sahaja. Ia untuk Idris dan puak-puaknya mengaut duit dengan sebanyak-banyaknya!
3)  Sebelum PRU-12, Idris telah menjual seluas 30,000 ekar tanah pada tauke cina dengan mengambil jutaan duit lagi untuk diri dan kroninya!
4)   Dan ada sebanyak 25 KES lagi dalam tangan Tuanku Sultan!
Tuanku Sultan melantik Datuk Mat Said kerana hanya beliau seorang sahaja yang berani melawan Idris Jusoh dan puak-puaknya.
Pak Lah pula pertahankan Idris kerana beliau mempunyai kepentingan dalam projek-projek untuk baham duit rakyat!  
“Wahai rakyat sekelian, marilah bangkit menyokong Tuanku Sultan! Baginda bertindak demikian semata-mata untuk mempertahankan hak rakyat!
Jangan biarkan Tuanku bersendirian berdepan dengan puak-puak yang selama ini berlagak membela rakyat, padahal merekalah perompak harta rakyat!”

Land scam tremor in Penang

Penang could soon be rocked by a major land scam that had siphoned off millions from the state government coffers under the BN-rule.

The new DAP-led Penang government has set its sight on finding out how millions of ringgits of the people’s money were lost in land improprieties under the previous administration.

lim kit siang dap pc 130208 guan engDescribing it as the biggest land-financial scandal ever in Penang, Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng found that the land dealings for the past few years had caused the state government to lose millions.

“The land scam has caused colossal financial losses to the state government running to tens and tens and tens and tens of millions,” he told journalists.

Dissatisfied with the findings of an earlier Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) investigation done in 2006, the state government has now set up a three-man special investigating team headed by the Deputy Chief Minister I Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin, to carry out its own probe in the scam.

Others in the committee are Deputy Chief Minister II Prof  P Ramasamy and state executive councillor Phee Boon Poh.

The committee would start its probe in the land scam next week, using findings of an earlier Anti-Corruption Agency investigation for a head-start.

The ACA has briefed Lim and Fairus on its investigation and findings on Friday.

Although Lim has not given any time frame to complete it, the committee is being expected to fast track its probe into the scandal.

Once it has completed its investigation, government insiders said Penangites would be in for a shock to discover the extent of misappropriation of land and public funds under the previous administration.

Missing files

Former Deputy Chief Minister Abdul Rashid Abdullah (2004-2008) was the executive councilor handling the land portfolio under the previous state administration.

Abdul Rashid, who lost in the Sungai Bakap state constituency in the recent general election, was among the vocal Umno leaders involved in the illegal demonstration against the DAP-led state government near Komtar on Friday March 14.

During the rally, he addressed the crowd in calling on Penang Malays to defend the New Economic Policy and Malay privileges, which supposedly have come under threat from the new state government.

All official executive documents on land dealings in Abdul Rashid’s Komtar office were among the files that had allegedly gone missing from most executive councilors’ offices before the new state government was sworn in.

The present state government learnt about the land scam when perusing documents available at the state and district land offices, and state secretariat.

Insiders said initial random checks on previous land dealings had disclosed improprieties worth more than RM100 million.

Taking appropriate action

The state government was dissatisfied with ACA investigation, which was carried out during former Chief Minister Koh Tsu Koon’s administration, when it discovered its findings were shallow and, failed to recommend proportionate legal action or identify the land-scam major players.

“The legal action recommended was not proportionate with the amount of money siphoned off in this scam.

“It simply does not make sense to initiate lesser legal action in a land scam of this magnitude,” Lim said, while declining to deliberate on the issue.

Once the special team completes its probe, the state government would get a clearer picture on the amount of money, the acreage and number of lands, and individuals, agencies or companies involved in the scam.

Improprieties are learnt have happened in acquisition, conversion, development and title transfer of land with the bulk of them had allegedly took place in Penang mainland.

“It would help us to initiate proportionate and appropriate action against the culprits,” Lim said.

Pesanan Khas untuk Orang Melayu di Pulau Pinang

Posted by Raja Petra
Sunday, 16 March 2008

Pada kebiasaanya apabila saya menulis tentang situasi semasa saya
menulis didalam Baahasa Inggeris tetapi akibat dari beberapa situasi
semasa di PP baru baru ini, saya merasakan adalah perlu bagi saya
menulis di dalam Bahasa Melayu bagi memastikan penulisan saya ini dapat
di baca oleh semua peringkat rakyat di seluruh Negara terutama di PP.

Kejatuhan kerajaan BN di PP pada PRU ke12 baru baru ini terjadi akibat
kegagalan kerajaan BN menangani masalah rakyat secara umumnya. Jika
rakyat bahagia di bawah kepimpinan BN, sudah tentu ianya tidak akan di
gulingkan di 5 negeri Dan nyaris nyaris kalah di seluruh semenanjung.

Sebagai rakyat, Kita sepatutnya berfikiran lebih matang Dan tidak
mengikut rentak permainan politik puak puak tertentu. Kerajaan baru ini
dilantik oleh rakyat ini bukanlah untuk selama lamanya tetapi hanya
untuk tempoh 5 tahun. Kalau kerajaan pusat berhajat membuat pilihanraya
lebih awal, rakyat mungkin memilih selepas 3 tahun.

Kuasa di tangan rakyat. Kita perlu memilih pemimpin yang baik Dan
berwawasan. Tidak guna Kita pilih orang orang tertentu kerana semata
Mata dia orang melayu atau Islam tetapi melayu itu pada warna kulitnya
Dan Islam itu hanyalah sekadar pada songkoknya sahaja Dan perangai macam
syaitan atau mencuri duit rakyat secara terang terangan.

Saya ingin menarik perhatian pembaca semua kepada beberapa peristiwa
yang berlaku selepas ke kalahan BN. Dato Dr Koh Tsu Koon telah
menunjukkan watak yang amat matang Dan terpuji apabila beliau menerima
kekalahan BN di PP Dan memberi jaminan bahawa akan memastikan peralihan
kuasa kerajaan negeri akan di lakukan dengan aman. Kita lihat kerajaan
PP paling mula mula di bentuk di semenanjung selepas PRU 12. Sikap
seperti ini harus Kita tauladani. Ianya mengambarkan kematangan
berpolitik di pihak Dato KSK.

Saya amat terkilan apabila melihat berita TV3 pada 13/3/08 Dan surat
khabar pagi ini dimana UMNO Pulau Pinang meminta kerajaan pusat menarik
balik semua projek mega di PP kerana rakyat sudah menolak BN Dan UMNO di
PP. Adakah masuk di akal apabila, UMNO PP meminta supaya perkhidmatan
bas Syarikat RapidKL di PP di hentikan Dan biarkan kerajaan baru PP
mencari penyelesaiannya. Hari ini saya amat terkejut apabila membaca
artikel di dalam Malaysiakini dimana IGP mengarahkan supaya orang ramai
tidak berhimpun di Komtar Dan pada sebelah petangnya tersebar berita
mengatakan yang perhimpunan yang telah melibatkan hampir 2000 orang di
lakukan oleh UMNO.

Orang UMNO selama Hari ini kononnya berdisiplin Dan senatiasa meminta
permit polis apabila mengadakan sesuatu perhimpunan kini telah
menunjukkan belang mereka. Tanpa kebenaran polis Dan tidak mengindahkan
arahan IGP, mereka berarak di PP. UMNO PP telah melakukan PERHIMPUNAN
HARAM. Pada penilitian saya, mujurlah pihak polis di Malaysia ini sangat
professional dimana mereka telah bersikap neutral Dan mengambil langkah
langkah mengawal keadaan. Sebaik baiknya pihak polis mengambil tindakan
keatas pemimpin UMNO ini yang dengan terang terangan melanggar undang
undang negara. Undang undang tidak membezakan pesalah diri segi warna
kulit atau parti politiknya.

Apakah tujuan sebenar UMNO di Pulau Pinang?Siapakah pencetus isu
perkauman di PP secara khususnya. Adakah ianya di lakukan bagi
menimbulkan insiden insiden di mana membolehkan perintah darurat dapat
di laksanakan di PP? Jika tuan tuan menonoton TV, tuan tuan dapat
melihat sendiri bagaimana Pak Lah memberi amaran terbuka kepada Lim Guan
Eng supaya janagn bermain dengan isu perkauman Dan hak hak orang melayu
diPP. Apa yang di cakap oleh Pak Lah ini masuk di akal atau tidak? Guan
Eng cuma menjelaskan bahawa selepas ini kerajaan PP akan melaksanakan
tender terbuka Dan tidak lagi melakukan “direct nego” sepertimana yang
di amalkan oleh kerajaan BN sebelum ini. Mengapa Pak Lah mengaitkan
kenyataan ini dengan hak hak orang melayu? Dari pengamatan saya, Pak Lah
telah menimbulkan isu perkauman Dan bukan Lim Guan Eng. Kenyataan Pak
Lah di sambut oleh UMNO PP. Kalau perkhidmatan bas dihentikan, tentunya
rakyat akan sengsara Dan memberontak. Inikah niat UMNO PP atau Pak Lah
sendiri. Jika Ada pemberontakan, keseluruhan Negara akan terjejas Dan
bukan sahaja di PP. Apakah yang Ada dalam kepala otak pemimpin UMNO PP
ini? Adakah Pak lah Dan UMNO PP mahu menimbulkan keadaan dimana kerajaan
pusat boleh mengumumkan “perintah darurat” di PP Dan lepas itu kerajaan
akan di ambil oleh kerajaan sementara. Saya juga terkejut apabila
mendapati Orang Melayu juga membuat perarakan yang sama di Selangor. Ini
memberi gambaran bahawa perkara ini di lakukan dengan perancangan rapi
dari pihak atasan.

Wahai bangsa Ku di Pulau Pinang, saya pinta: Gunakanlah kekuatan akal
fikiran Kita sebelum membuat sesuatu tindakan. Janganlah cepat melatah.
“Pikiak jauh sikit”. Jangan bagi malu bangsa Kita ini. Kita kena tunjuk
yang Kita ini mempunyai IQ Dan EQ yang tinggi Dan setanding dengan
masyarakat maju di dunia ini. Rakyat PP ini tak sama dengan rakyat di
negeri lain. Di dalam darah Kita Ada darah pelbagai keturunan Arab,
Turki, India,hindustani, eropah DLL. Kita sepatutnya lebih celik Dan
lebih intelek lagi. Saya pinta semua rakyat merenung sejenak Dan memikir
sejauh mana BN telah menolong rakyat. Memang menjadi tanggungjawab mana
mana kerajaan membina hospital, sekolah, longkang, jalan Dan sebagainya.
Itu fakta yang kina kena faham. Kalau kerajaan BN tak bina semua ini,
sudah tentu rakyat dah lama buang depa. Selama ini rakyat menerima depa
kerana pada fikiran rakyat politik perkauman itu penting bagi memastikan
orang melayu tidak di pinggirkan. Realitinya, politik perkauman
merugikan negara Dan banyak pihak Dan hanya menguntungkan sebilangan
kecial orang orang UMNO yang mempunyai kuasa Dan kedudukan .Kalau BN
benar benar bagus, mengapa rakyat menolak BN di PRU ke 12.

Saya ingin bertanya kepada rakyat PP yang telah mengambil bahagian di
demonstrasi haram di Komtar pada hari ini . Kerajaan yang di bentuk ini
baru berumur 1 minggu. Sudahkah rakyat di tindas? Adakah hak hak orang
orang kita telah di nafikan? Belum apa apa lagi kita dah melatah.
Sebenarnya siapa yang melatah dan tak senang duduk sehingga menggerakkan
rakyat yang tak tau hujung pangkal dengan mengadakan perhimpunan haram
di PP?

Ini adalah orang orang yang menjadi kaya raya dengan duit rakyat di PP
selama ini. Dengan UMNO mereka mendapat projek merata rata. Mereka
mendapat projek bukan diatas kekuatan teknikal atau mental. Projek
projek mereka semuanya ada kaitan dengan politik UMNO - “aku bagi hang
projek, hang jangan lupa aku“. Projek ini memperkayakan orang orang
tertentu dan bukan semua orang melayu.

Saya ambil contoh Dato Amin Shah yang kini telah muflis. Orang yang
tidak ada pengalaman di dalam pembinaan perkapalan telah di beri kontrak
hampir 5 billion ringgit untuk membina 6 buah kapal perang secara
rundingan terus. Tidak perlu ada tender. Dimana kapal kapal ini hari
ini? Setelah lewat lebih dari 8 tahun, apa yang sudah jadi dengan kapal
kapal ini. Sedarkah tuan tuan hari ini sebuah berada di tengah laut,
satu masih lagi tidak di terima oleh pihak TLDM (tapi di paksa terima)
dan kini berada di limbungan lumut kerana gagal mengikuti spesikasi.
Yang 4 lagi kat mana? Bayang pun tak dak? Habuk besi pun tak dak?
Tahukah tuan tuan bahawasanya semua duit berkaitan projek ini dah habis
di bayar. Mana pi duit ini semua? Mana kapai?

Sebenarnya kalau kita tempah kapal ini di luar negara secara terus,
harganya di 1/3 dari harga 5 billion dan ianya dah lama siap dah. TLDM
hari ini dapat memantau laut PP dengan lebih selamat. Mana perginya duit
duit ini? Saya minta tuan tuan fikirkan sendiri. Tahukah tuan tuan
dengan 5 billion berapa banyak rumah dapat di sediakan untuk rakyat,
berapa banyak monorel dapat di buat di PP - rakyat tak payah sangkut di
dalam kesesakan lalu lintas. Duit ini duit siapa - duit rakyat dimana
duit ini digunakan untuk memperkayakan orang orang tertentu. Begitu juga
dengan projek PORR dan projek jambatan Pulau Pinang yang kedua. Ke semua
ini tiada tender. Kalau di buat tender harganya jauh lebih murah. Duit
selebihnya boleh digunakan untuk rakyat. Mengapa duit rakyat hendak di
gunakan untuk memperkayakan orang tertentu.

Saya minta tuan tuan berfikir sejenak dari segi sejarah. Sejak 1800, PP
and Singapura di jajah oleh British. Dua duanya pulau. Kedua dua pulau
ini di gunakan bagi tujuan yang sama iaitu untuk perdagangan bebas dan
mengekspot hasil bumi dari Semenanjung. Rakyat pun sama. Kebanyakannya
pedagang dari seluruh pelusuk dunia. Waktu Merdeka, PP dan Singapura
sama tarafnya. Hari ini dimana Singapura dan di mana Pulau Pinang? Bagi
rakyat PP yang tidak pernah sampai ke Singapura, cuba pergi tengok rumah
mereka, pangsapuri mereka, jalanraya mereka, taraf ekonomi mereka. Baru
baru ini saya menaiki MRT dari Orchard Road sampai ke Changi…jauh tu
bang oi.. bayar S$0.70 cent.

Pergi tengok berapa bersih dan luasnya flat mereka. Hidu sendiri udara
mereka dan nikmati kebersihannya. Pokok menghijau di merata rata dan
Kerajaan Singapura hari ini ingin menjadikan Pulau Singapura sebagai
sebuah Pulau yang berkonsepkan terusan air di merata rata. Mengapa
Singapura boleh melonjak jauh kedepan walaupun minyak tak ada, air pun
tak ada, hasil bumi pun tak ada. Asasnya mereka tahu mencari dan
menguruskan wang dengan telus. Pergi tengok Sungai Singapura dan
bandingkan dengan Sungai Pinang. Hari ini, orang Singapura boleh terjun
dan mandi dalam Sungai Singapura. Di Pulau Pinang, hampir semua sungai
dah di jadikan longkang. Sungai pun dah nak pupus dan di gantikan dengan
longkangs. Pergi tanya rakyat Singapura adakah mereka menganggap
kerajaan mereka itu kuat makan rasuah. Jawapannya tidak.

Pemimpin UMNO Pulau Pinang hari ini bukanya fikirkan hal dan kepentingan
rakyat. Mereka pentingkan hak peribadi mereka. Mereka takut rahsia
rahsia mereka terbongkar. Mereka takut kekayaan mereka di siasat. Dari
1000 orang Melayu di PP yang kaya berapa kerat ja yang betul betul kaya?
Yang kaya kepala kepala UMNO yang duduk diatas . Kerana takut mereka
melaga laga kan rakyat? Kalau benar DEB itu berjaya habis kenapa sampai
la ni pun tak selesai selesai! Patut dah habis pada tahun 1991. Kalau BN
tu bagus sangat, kenapa DEB tak selesai sampai hari ini. Adakah inaya
tidak dapat diselesaikan atau sengaja tak nak di selesaikan? Jadi rakyat
, saya pinta janganlah cepat melatah.

Orang Melayu kena fikir secara rasional. Mungkin kerajaan baru ini
mempunyai kaedah kaedah yang lebih baik dari DEB. Bagi lah depa peluang
untuk buka langkah. Ini belum apa apa lagi dah buat demonstrasi haram di
jalanan. Kita tengok. Kalau depa tak boleh buat untuk kita macam depa
dok janjikan kita buang mereka 5 tahun lagi. Apa kita nak takut. Biar
kita tengok sejauh mana kebolehan mereka. Biar kita tengok dulu apa yang
mereka janji tu mereka boleh buat tak. Jangan melatah.Tak rugi mana
pun.. tak lama mana pun.. itulah kuasa rakyat.. rakyat boleh mengakkan
kerajaan dan rakyat juga boleh menjatuhkan kerajaan.

Akhir kata, saya pinta Rakyat semua di seluruh negara terutama orang
melayu di PP tanpa mengira latar belakang politik kita. Kita harus
pentingkan negara dari pentingkan UMNO. Marilah kita bersama sama
bekerjasama memastikan kerajaan yang kita lantik ini berjalan lurus dan
bersih dan berkhidmat untuk kita. Hari ini ada perimbangan kuasa. Ianya
bagus untuk rakyat. Peluang untuk menyalahguna kuasa dan wang kini agak
sukar. Jadi duit lebihan ini akan di belanjankan untuk rakyat. Ianya
bagus untuk rakyat dan bukan untuk pencuri duit negara. Kalau depa tak
buat kerja yang kita harapkan untuk 5 tahun akan datang, kita akan buat
pertimbangan semula pada PRU ke 13. Fikirkan apa yang saya kata. Kita
orang melayu harus menunjukkan kematangan dari segi IQ dan EQ. Kenalah
tunjuk pandai sikit. Jangan cepat melatah.

A Letter of Tribute from a Malay Mother to Penang CM - Lim Guan Eng

Lim Guan Eng is a Malaysian opposition politician who spoke out
against the rape of a schoolgirl by a government minister. For
speaking out Lim Guan Eng was sentenced to three years imprisonment,
the schoolgirl to three years ‘protective custody’, the minister has
so far not been charged. [The Choice, Radio 4, BBC, May 1998]

No one familiar with the authoritarian regime that rules Malaysia with
an iron rod will be surprised, though they may be shocked by the
severity of the sentences.

Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Tamby Chik was Chief Minister of the State of
Malacca. He raped a 15-year old schoolgirl. Because of the rape
accusation and pending corruption charges he was forced to resign. To
date, no charges have been brought against him for the rape, the
corruption charges have been dropped.

The 15-year old schoolgirl was initially detained for 10 days without
parental consent. She has subsequently been sentenced to 3 years
‘protective custody’ in a house for ‘wayward girls’. At the subsequent
trial of Lim Guan Eng the girl gave evidence that she had a sexual
relationship with the minister (under Malaysian Law, under age sex
constitutes Statutory Rape).

Lim Guan Eng raised the anomalies of the case, after the girl’s
grandmother (the girl’s guardian), one of his constituents, brought
the case to him and sought his help. On 28 February 1995, Lim Guan Eng
was charged under the Sedition Act for prompting ‘disaffection with
the administration of justice in Malaysia ‘. On 17 March 1995, an
additional charge was brought under the Printing Presses and
Publications Act for ‘maliciously printing’ a pamphlet containing
‘false information’, specifically that he had used the term
‘imprisoned victim’ to describe the rape victim.

At his first trial in 1997, Lim Guan Eng was convicted on both counts
and fined RM 15,000 (US $6,000). The State appealed to the Court of
Appeal against the ‘leniency’ of the sentence. At a subsequent hearing
before the Court of Appeal (1 April 1998), the sentence was increased
to 3 years imprisonment. A consequence of the sentence is that Lim
Guan Eng will be automatically barred as a member of parliament and is
likely to be declared bankrupt.

The sentence is currently pending an appeal. Should the sentence on
Lim Guan Eng be upheld and enforced by a higher court, Amnesty
International will list him as a ‘prisoner of conscience’, for
expressing his political views. If enforced, this will be the second
time Lim Guan Eng has been imprisoned for expressing his political
beliefs. In 1987, in a crackdown on government opponents and
activists, he was imprisoned for 18 months without charge or trial.

The persecution of Lim Guan Eng is seen as not just an attempt by the
government to silence a prominent critic, but also to serve as a
warning to others. His constituents have been denied representation in
parliament.

Freedom of expression and respect for democratic institutions and
human rights does not exist in Malaysia . The Prime Minister justifies
his iron rule as necessary to keep Malaysia on the path of economic
success. The so called Malaysian economic miracle now lies in ruins.
In a histrionic outburst, Mahathir bin Mohamad, desperate to blame
others for his own shortcomings and failings, blamed foreign
speculators and agents of foreign powers. In addition to the Draconian
and repressive Sedition Act and Printing Presses and Publications Act,
Malaysia also uses the Internal Security Act (which grants the power
for indefinite detention without charge or trial) to silence critics.

December 1996, non-government organisations attempted to hold a forum
to discuss abuses of police powers. The organisers of the forum were
threatened with detention under the Internal Security Act, the forum
has been suspended indefinitely.

Amnesty International has adopted Lim Guan Eng as a Prisoner of Conscience.

Even if I fail and have to go to jail, I have no regrets. I have no
regrets of going down fighting for the principles of truth and
justice. And pursuit of human rights, especially women’s rights. There
can be no women’s rights if women rape victims are considered equally
responsible, and even detained, whilst the accused remain free. — Lim
Guan Eng

There are injustices in the law which are mind-boggling … The lesson
is clear - choose your rapist carefully … As a woman, especially a
Muslim woman, I am angry, disgusted and ashamed … As a mother, I now
have real fears for my daughter. What protection can we hope for our
daughters if, in the interests of politics, a minor can so easily be
sacrificed? — Marina Mahathir, daughter of the Malaysian Prime
Minister

HE IS NOW THE CHIEF MINISTER OF PENANG ! ALL I CAN SAY IS SYABAS!

From the Editor : How many of Malaysian Leaders dare to voice up for Justice ???

Ku Li slams PM for ’stunning ineptness’

Veteran Umno politican Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah today fired his latest salvo against Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for his “stunning ineptness” in the appointment of the Terengganu mentri besar.

ku li tengku razaleigh interview 241106 significant“Abdullah’s statement yesterday that ‘the appointment of anyone but Idris Jusoh as Terengganu menteri besar is unconstitutional’ is wrong,” said Razaleigh in a hard-hitting press release late this afternoon.

“As in the recent crisis in Perlis, the prime minister’s actions suggest stunning ineptness in managing fundamental relationships and straightforward functions of government.”

According to Razaleigh, the situation in Terengganu is a “crisis of government, not of the constitution”.

“The sultan acted within his powers in appointing the person who, in his judgment, is likely to command the confidence of the majority of the members of the State Assembly.

“Ahmad Said’s appointment is effective and he is now mentri besar of Terengganu. It is up to the properly convened State Assembly to test him with a vote of confidence in due course,” said Razaleigh, referring to Terengganu sultan’s choice.  

ahmad said idris jusoh terengganuHe said that “petitions, threats, coercion and declarations of support” for the prime minister and his candidate, Idris - who was mentri besar in the previous state government - had no bearing on the legality of the sultan’s appointment.

“Perhaps we have forgotten what it is like to conduct ourselves with good manners and due respect for the constitution and the sovereignty of the ruler,” lamented Razaleigh, who himself is a Kelantan prince.

Last week, Razaleigh, who was former party vice-president, had offered himself as a candidate to challenge Abdullah in the upcoming Umno polls, due to be held in August.

He has also called for the entire ruling Barisan Nasional to step down to take responsibility for its worst electoral setback in history.

Umno’s leadership in jeopardy

Razaleigh also expressed concerned that the crisis in Terengganu would affect Umno’s control of the oil-rich state.

“This storm in Terengganu is just the latest in a series of crises brought on by an apparent failure to understand how state powers work relative to federal ones.

“This is alarming because the Barisan government now has five opposition-controlled states to contend with out of the nine in Peninsular Malaysia. The mishandling of chief ministerial appointments in Perlis, and now in Terengganu, mean that our leadership in two other states is now in jeopardy.”

In the wake of March 8 general elections, Razaleigh - who is Kelantan’s Gua Musang Umno division chief - has sent a letter to all party leaders urging them to convene an extraordinary general meeting to discuss the electoral debacle.

However, he has received lukewarm support for the idea.

In a latest development, MB-designate Ahmad said that he had full backing from the sultan and will start work tomorrow.

Tidak Hormat pada Raja !!!

2 minggu yang lepas, saudara Lim Kit Siang dikritik orang umno bahawa beliau tidak hormat pada pemangku raja Perak kerana mempersoalkan keputusan Pemangku Raja Perak Raja Dr Nazrin Shah melantik adun PAS, Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin sebagai menteri besar Perak yang baru.
Saudara Lim kemudiannya memohon maaf kepada Raja Dr. Nazrin. Tetapi pada hari sabtu kemudiannya, sebilangan ahli umno berkumpul di Ipoh kononnya untuk meluahkan ketidakpuasan mereka terhadap Lim Kit Siang walaupun beliau telah memohon maaf.

Namum begitu, apa yang berlaku di Terengganu sekarang adalah perkara yang sama !
Adun-adun umno Terengganu serta Pak Lah dan pucuk pimpinan umno membantah keputusan Raja Terengganu iaitu Yang Dipertuan Agong - Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin melantik adun Kijal Ahmad Said sebagai menteri besar Terengganu yang baru.
Memburukkan keadaan lagi apabila keahlian Ahmad Said dipecat umno dua hari lepas ekoran penerimaan surat watikah dari Istana.

Sebab pemecatan keahlian Ahmad Said adalah kerana beliau engkar kepada arahan Pah Lah yang melantik Idris Jusoh sebagai menteri besar. Apakah ini munasabah ? Seorang ahli dewan undangan negeri yang dilantik menjadi menteri besar oleh Istana dianggap BERSALAH ???? Apakah ini cara pemerintahan KUKU-BESI/DIKTATOR UMNO ??? Sehinggakan arahan Raja diengkari !!! Apakah kuasa Pah Lah lebih tinggi dan besar daripada Raja ????

TIDAKKAH TINDAKAN UMNO INI DIANGGAP SEBAGAI BIADAP DAN TIDAK MENGHORMATI RAJA !!!!

KENAPA TIDAK RAKYAT MALAYSIA YANG MENCINTAI RAJA-RAJANYA MEMBANTAH AKAN TINDAKAN UMNO YANG LIAR INI !!!!
