Tuan Guru Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat menyifatkan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim seorang yang tegas mempertahankan prinsip perjuangan.

Katanya, ketegasan itu sama seperti pernah ditunjukkan Nabi Muhammad saw semasa berhadapan dengan pelbagai fitnah pembesar Quraisy.

“Kerana ketegasan mempertahankan kebenaran perjuanganlah maka Nabi saw sanggup meninggalkan Kota Mekah menuju ke Madinah. Baginda tidak pernah bertolak ansur dengan pelbagai tawaran pembesar Quraisy.

“Anwar seorang yang mendokong prinsip ketegasan di atas kebenaran yang diperjuangkan selama ini,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan di sini.

Ketua Pembangkang tersebut dalam satu wawancara dengan sebuah akhbar hari ini menyebut kerjasama Umno dan PAS tidak akan menjadi realiti meski pun tanpa kehadiran Menteri Besar Kelantan.

Anwar dipetik sebagai berkata, Umno merasakan sekiranya mereka boleh tawan Nik Aziz, mereka boleh tawan PAS.

Mursyidul Am itu merakam ucapan tahniah sepenuh hati kepada Anwar di atas ketegasan beliau dalam perjuangan.

Menurutnya ketegasan itu merupakan sifat istiqomah yang ada pada pemimpin memperjuangkan kebenaran dan hak hakiki.

“Istiqomah bukanlah suatu nilai kedegilan, tetapi suatu kebenaran yang dituntut oleh agama.

“Prinsip mempertahankan kebenaran secara istiqomah sudah pasti akan menyemarakkan lagi perjuangan Pakatan Rakyat bagi menghadapi pilihan raya umum akan datang,” ujarnya.

Malaysian Lawyer Dropped From Anwar Trial Over Affair Claim

From AFP

In a sensational twist in Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim’s sodomy trial, a prosecutor has been dropped after being accused of having an affair with the star witness.

Defence lawyers said the surprise move bolstered its claim that Anwar, a former deputy premier who was sacked and jailed on separate sex and corruption counts a decade ago, is the victim of a political conspiracy.

The prosecution said it was dropping Farah Azlina Latif from its team in the ongoing trial, following claims she was romantically involved with Mohamad Saiful Bukhari Azlan, 25, who has accused Anwar of sodomising him.

“This can be very difficult for us but any personal matter, if it can have any implication in whatever form… will be handled very seriously,” attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail told state media late Tuesday.

“This move is also to ensure that the smooth running of the case is not affected,” the government’s top lawyer said, without specifying whether or not the claims were true.

An official at the attorney-general’s office confirmed his comments to AFP, and said that Farah Azlina would also be transferred to another department.

The defence said it had sought an official explanation from the prosecution after a leading Malaysian political blogger said on his website that the lawyer was in a sexual relationship with Saiful, who has a fiancee.

“The implications are serious,” Anwar’s lawyer Sankara Nair told AFP Wednesday.

“There is a perception that Saiful could have been given access to confidential information of the trial and that would compromise the integrity of the prosecution,” he said.

Sankara said the development strengthened claims that there was a conspiracy against Anwar, after Saiful testified that he met with high-profile individuals including Prime Minister Najib Razak before lodging his complaint.

The attorney-general however said that Farah Azlina, one of eight prosecutors in the Anwar case, had no access to confidential information.

The sodomy trial, which began in February and has been punctuated by lengthy delays, is set to resume on August 2 for a one-month session.

Saiful, who was an aide in Anwar’s office, has accused the 62-year-old of sodomising him in 2008. If convicted, Anwar could face up to 20 years imprisonment.

Sodomy, even among consenting adults, is illegal in Muslim-majority Malaysia.

Anwar has said he is the victim of a plot to prevent him from taking power, after the opposition made huge strides in 2008 elections, stunning the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition which has been in power for half a century.

‘Hubungan Romatis’, DPP Digugurkan Dari Kes Anwar

By Anwar Ibrahim 11 Comments

Dari Malaysiakini

Peguam Negara Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail mengesahkan Timbalan Pendakwa Raya Farah Azlina Latif telah digugurkan daripada pasukan pendakwaan yang mengendalikan kes liwat Ketua Pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Beliau berkata langkah itu adalah susulan terhadap dakwaan bahawa Farah Azlina mempunyai “hubungan romantis” dengan saksi utama kes tersebut, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, yang mendakwa dia diliwat oleh Anwar pada Jun 2008.

Farah Azlina turut digugurkan daripada Bahagian Pendakwaan Jabatan Peguam Negara atas faktor yang sama, katanya dalam sidang akhbar di pejabatnya di Putrajaya, semalam.

Sidang akhbar berkenaan diadakan bagi menjelaskan perkembangan terkini sekaligus menjawab persoalan mengenai hubungan Farah Azlina dan Mohd Saiful seperti yang disiarkan oleh laman web Malaysia Today baru-baru ini.

Abdul Gani (atas, kiri) berkata, Farah Azlina terpaksa digugurkan bukan kerana beliau didapati bersalah tetapi bagi mengelakkan sebarang persepsi negatif daripada orang ramai terhadap pasukan pendakwa. Continue reading ‘‘Hubungan Romatis’, DPP Digugurkan Dari Kes Anwar’

Tindakan drastik Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN) menahan permit Suara Keadilan dan Rocket dilihat sebagai kebimbangan kritikal Umno BN menghadapi kebangkitan rakyat yang kian tegar mempersoalkan dasar-dasar kerajaan akhir-akhir ini.

Pasukan Pendakwa Kes Anwar Bercempera

By Anwar Ibrahim 13 Comments

Dari Harakah

Pasukan pendakwa kes Liwat II terhadap Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim bercempera ekoran dakwaan blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin, salah seorang anggota perempuannya mempunyai hubungan intim dengan saksi utama dan pihak yang mendakwa, Mohd Saiful Bukhari.

Ketua pasukan pendakwa itu, Solicitor-General 2 Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden bagaimanapun belum dapat mengesahkan samada ada timbalan pendakwaraya wanita itu akan digugurkan atau tidak dari pasukan itu.

“Saya tidak boleh beritahu apa-apa sekarang, saya akan bincang dengan pasukan saya dan lihatlah nanti pada 2 Ogos sama ada dia masih dalam pasukan ini atau tidak,” kata Mohd Yusof sebagaimana yang dilaporkan oleh sebuah laman web.

Sementara itu, peguam Anwar, Sankaran Nair berkata, pihaknya akan menghantar surat kepada Pejabat Peguam Negara bagi mendapatkan penjelasan mengenai dakwaan Raja Petra itu.

“Kita akan hantar surat kepada pejabat AG hari ini, petang nanti mereka akan dapatlah surat itu,” kata Sankaran.

Pihaknya akan menunggu jawapan rasmi dari pejabat Peguam Negara sebelum membuat apa-apa tindakan yang sesuai.

Bagi beliau, jika benar dakwaan Raja Petra ini, ia merupakan satu yang sangat buruk dan ia akan menjadi lagi buruk kalau ia dibiarkan tanpa penjelasan yang wajar.

“Ini akan memberikan implikasi yang serius terhadap perbicaraan ini. Kami mahu Peguam Negara mengesahkan atau menafikan dakwaan ini. Kamar Peguam Negara perlu tidak berpihak dalam hal ini kerana Saiful adalah pihak yang membuat aduan dan saksi utama pendakwa,” kata Sankara.

Raja Petra dalam blognya mendakwa Saiful mempunyai hubungan sulit dengan salah seorang anggota wanita pasukan pendakwaan terhadap Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Pemimpin kanan PKR, Peguam Sivarasa Rasiah mendakwa, beliau ada maklumat mengenai tuduhan ini.

Saiful sebelum ini membuat laporan polis diliwat oleh Anwar dan ekoran itu Anwar didakwa oleh pasukan pendakwa yang diketuai Yusof di Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur.

Mohd Yusof mendakwa peranan timbalan pendakwaraya wanita itu hanya minima sahaja kerana dia tidak termasuk secara rasmi dalam pasukan pendakwaan beliau.

Wanita itu hanya dibawa masuk untuk membantu mengumpulkan data dan mengambil nota semasa perbicaraan kerana salah seorang anggota pendakwaan telah meninggalkan pasukan itu.

“Jadi, saya tidak boleh kata dia digugurkan dari pasukan ini, kerana dia bukan anggota pasukan ini sebenarnya, bukan macam (DPP) Noorin (Badaruddin), atau Wong (Chiang Kiat), atau saya. Dia dibawa untuk membantu tetapi sekarang kita sekurang-kurangnya ada tiga peguam yang boleh menyusun, dan kadang-kadang Noorin juga mengambil nota.

“Selin itu, dia (wanita yang dikaitkan) juga adalah pendakwaraya, peguam. Dia juga ada kes yang kena kendali. Jika kita putuskan tidak masukkan dia dalam pasukan kita bulan depan, ini kerana kita boleh kendalikan kes ini tanpa dia…juga kerana dia ada kes lain yang perlu diuruskan,” kata Mohd Yusof.

By Shazwan Mustafa Kamal

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s lawyers have demanded that Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail respond to Raja Petra Kamaruddin’s claims of a female deputy public prosecutor being romantically involved with the lead witness in Anwar’s on-going Sodomy II trial.

Fugitive blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin had alleged in a blog posting recently that a female deputy public prosecutor, a junior member of the prosecution team in Anwar’s trial, is having an “affair” with lead witness Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.

Lead counsel for Anwar’s defence team Sankara Nair said that the Attorney-General or the prosecution team had yet to respond to Raja Petra’s allegations, stressing that if the matter were left unaddressed, it could affect the on-going trial proceedings which is set to continue this coming August 2.

“This will have serious implications in the trial, we want the Attorney-General to confirm or deny these allegations. The Attorney-General’s chambers has to be impartial and prove to do so in its dealings, even though Saiful is the complainant and the prosecution’s material witness,” Sankara told The Malaysian Insider this morning.

Sankara said that the defence team will be submitting a letter to the Attorney-General’s office today, demanding that the Attorney-General step in and provide answers to Raja Petra’s claims.

“We will be sending a letter to the Attorney-General’s office today. They should be getting it (the letter) in the afternoon,” said Sankara.

Sankara also said that they would have to wait for an “official response” from Abdul Gani before they can proceed with any further action.

But the prosecution team say that they are still undecided on whether the female deputy public prosecutor named by Raja Petra would be dropped when the case resumes next month. Continue reading ‘Anwar Demands A-G Respond To RPK’s ‘Affair’ Allegations’

Penjawat Awam Wajib Menunaikan Amanah Yang Dipertanggungjawabkan

Prinsip asas pentadbiran awam adalah jelas: ketaatan kepada ‘government of the day’. Dan prinsip ini digunapakai di seluruh dunia. Dalam erti kata lain,biar pemerintah datang dan pergi, penjawat awam harus terus mencurahkan khidmat bakti kepada negara dan rakyat.

Sikap Pegawai Pembangunan Negeri Pulau Pinang, Nik Ali Wan Yunus nyata sangat mendukacitakan. Meskipun Nik Ali merupakan pegawai lantikan persekutuan,tetapi memandangkan beliau merupakan penjawat awam yang berkhidmat di Pulau Pinang,maka keakuran beliau kepada Kerajaan Negeri harus diletakkan sebagai prioriti.

Biarpun ada kecenderungan politik, penjawat awam harus kekal neutral dan telus,demi menjunjung integriti dan akauntabiliti perkhidmatan awam.Asal saja sesiapa yang memerintah,maka taat setia penjawat awam harus diberi. Prinsip ini sewajarnya digunapakai di negeri-negeri Pakatan Rakyat.Penjawat awam harus kekal menjadi tiang seri.

Kenyataan Ketua Setiausaha Negara juga tampak mengecewakan,apabila melihat tidak ada keperluan Nik Ali untuk dipersalahkan,malah punya hak untuk mempertahankan diri dan dipertahankan. Kononnya Nik Ali dimalukan. Prinsip ini tidak pula digunakan apabila Nazri Aziz menyerang pegawai Kementerian pembangunan Usahawan dan Koperasi apabila timbul isu permit teksi satu masa dulu.Sewaktu Tukiman Nail dihadiahi penyapu oleh Khir Toyo,tidak juga dipertahan sedemikian rupa.Apakah kerana yang menyerang penjawat awam ini politikus Umno maka mereka perlu senyap?

Penjawat awam merupakan nadi kepada pembangunan negara. Malah merekalah tunjang kepada kestabilan sesebuah kerajaan. Justeru jangan dicemar profesionalisme mereka.

Business Council Mum Over Rosmah Ad

From The Nutt Graph
By Jacqueline Ann Surin and Koh Lay Chin

The Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU), which conferred the prime minister’s wife an award in New York in April, has remained mum about whether it was the party which placed a congratulatory advertisement in the New York Times (NYT) for her.

BCIU president Peter J Tichansky did not respond to e-mail queries to confirm that the council paid for the NYT ad that congratulated Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor for receiving the inaugural and little-known International Peace and Harmony Award.

The Nut Graph sent two e-mail enquiries to Tichansky to ask him to confirm who had actually paid for the award. The first e-mail was sent on 2 June after Tichansky wrote to us to express regret that a “well-intended gesture of welcome and congratulations honoring Malaysia’s First Lady” as the award recipient may have become a “political issue”.

The second e-mail to Tichansky was sent on 15 June after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced in Parliament on that day that BCIU was the organisation that placed the ad. Najib’s statement in Parliament was the first time the government publicly denied that it had paid for the ad. Throughout The Nut Graph’s reporting of the issue, the Prime Minister’s Office did not respond to our queries despite being given several opportunities to comment over a period of one month.

The NYT had originally told The Nut Graph that the ad, signed off “from family and friends in USA and Malaysia” was placed by “an ad agency on behalf of the Malaysian government.”

Eighteen days later, the NYT said it had made a mistake. But it would not reveal who actually took out the ad nor clarify how executive director for community affairs and media relations, Diane McNulty, could have made such a mistake. Instead, NYT’s director of public relations, Abbe Serphos, repeated that the ad was signed by “Family and friends in the USA and Malaysia”. Only when pressed did she reply: “In our internal systems the ad was reserved as a Government of Malaysia ad, but in fact the ad was not placed by the Government of Malaysia.”

Tichansky has not responded to either e-mail from The Nut Graph. In addition, Tichansky also did not respond to questions about when the award was conceived and by whom, what criteria were used in conceptualising the award, who the other nominees for the award were, and how Rosmah qualified for it.

In his first and only e-mail to us on 2 June, Tichansky had reiterated BCIU’s “respect for [Rosmah’s] humanitarian and charity work”, saying she was a “deserving recipient of BCIU’s award”.

Tichansky (source: BCIU.org)
After Najib’s statement in Parliament, Tichansky did not answer why the BCIU would sign off the ad as “family and friends [of Rosmah] in USA and Malaysia” instead of representing itself in the ad. He also did not answer the question as to how the BCIU could represent Rosmah’s family and friends.

The NYT has declined to disclose how much the ad cost. However, according to some estimates, full-page ads taken out in the NYT suggests that the cost of such advertisements ranges from US$180,000 to US$230,000. This amounts to between RM580,000 and RM740,000 for a one-page ad.

The congratulatory ad for Rosmah which appeared on 16 April 2010 was a two-page colour spread that would have cost far more. Continue reading ‘Business Council Mum Over Rosmah Ad’

Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak membayar sebuah firma perunding politik yang berpangkalan di Washington RM50,000 (US$15,000) untuk membantunya memastikan rencana pendapat pengarang yang ditulisnya, diterbitkan di akhbar-akhbar utama di Amerika Syarikat.

Dan sekiranya hasil tulisannya itu disiarkan, maka perdana menteri akan mengeluarkan bayaran tambahan RM50,000 sebagai habuan untuk ‘yuran kejayaan’ kepada perunding berkenaan.

Perkara ini didedahkan menerusi dokumen yang difailkan di bawah Akta Pendaftaran Agen Asing oleh firma Quinn Gillespie & Associates (QGA), sebuah badan perunding perhubungan awam dan pelobi yang terkemuka di Washington DC.

Menurut dokumen yang diperolehi oleh Malaysiakini, QGA diberi tugas oleh sebuah lagi firma perunding, Kumpulan The Laurus, bagi cuba menyakinkan akhbar utama di Amerika bagi menyiarkan artikel Najib.

Kumpulan The Laurus, sebuah firma perhubungan awam yang diragui dengan laman webnya yang masih dalam pembinaan – juga diberikan tanggungjawab mengendalikan perkhidmatan perhubungan awam ketika lawatan seminggu Najib ke Washington DC dan New York dari 10 hingga 16 April tahun ini.

Najib, yang diiringi oleh isterinya, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor berjumpa dengan Presiden Amerika, Barack Obama pada 12 April lalu di Washington.

Pasangan itu kemudiannya berlepas ke New York bagi upacara penyampaian Anugerah Keamanan dan Harmoni Antarabangsa 2010 kepada Rosmah. Majlis gilang gemilang dan jamuan gala itu turut dihadiri oleh bintang-bintang Hollywood. Continue reading ‘PM ‘Tabur’ RM50k Untuk Dapat Liputan Akhbar Amerika’

PRESS STATEMENT
22nd July 2010 at Dewan Negara by Dr. Syed Husin Ali

The quality of some answers provided by the Ministries, to me is very disappointing. Questions are usually not fully answered and much of the important parts of the questions are not adequately addressed. The recent answer provided by the Defence Ministry, to a question in regard to the list and value of contracts awarded by the Military, only provided the list of Companies awarded contracts, however the value of the contracts given out was not disclosed, and no reason was given for the omission.

Similarly, a question regarding the Police report lodged against Airod Sdn. Bhd. was practically ignored. The answer from the Prime Minister’s department merely stated that there was nothing further to do, as there was no credible evidence. No report was given on the investigations carried out. It seems that there is a lack of accountability in the Parliament, an act indirectly mocking the nobility of the Upper House.

The unappealing attitude towards questions in the Parliament is worrying, and somewhat signals bad transparency on the part of the government. It is hoped that the ministries will put more effort in addressing the questions in the future.

Nazir Lebih Tahu Mengapa FDI Penting Untuk Najib.

29/07/10 0 comments

Oleh YB Dr.Dzulkefly Ahmad, MP Kuala Selangor

Saya ditanya oleh pihak media mengapalah FDI begitu penting sangat untuk Malaysia dalam situasi kini, sejurus selepas penglibatan saya dalam Forum Ekonomi Negeri Selangor sempena Majlis Dialog Bejt 2011. Saya cuba rumuskan di sini jawapan tersebut untuk pengetahuan umum.

Benar, mengikut Laporan Pelaburan Dunia (WIR, 2009), yang diterbitkan baru baru ini oleh Perdagangan dan Pelaburan Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu (UNCTAD) telah mengesahkan bahawa pelaburan asing langsung (FDI) Malaysia merosot 81 peratus kepada US$1.38 bilion (RM4.43 bilion) pada 2009 daripada US$7.32 bilion (RM23.47 bilion) pada 2008.

Meskipun negara-negara ASEAN juga mengalami penurunan kemasukan FDI, ternyata tidaklah separah Malaysia. Thailand mendapat pelaburan sebanyak US$4.44 atau RM14.24 bilion sementara Indonesia sebanyak US$2.60 billion atau RM8.32 billion sekaligus meletakkan Malasyia, antara negara tercorot sebagai negara pilihan pelaburan pelabur asing langsung bersama dengan Cambodia, Brunei dan Timor-Leste. Vietnam juga mendahului kita sekarang ini.Keadaan menjadi lebih buruk lagi tatkala diperhatikan bahawa bukan sahaja kemasukan FDI menjunam, pengaliran keluar dana tempatan adalah juga yang terbesar berbanding semua negara ASEAN sebanyak RM25.77 bilion.

Apakah makna semua ini? Mengapa FDI faktor penting dalam ekonomi negara? Selanjutnya…

As Malaysians digest the latest sexual scandal in town, a debate has swept in over which is worse – liwat or zina (sodomy or adultery).

“If Saiful’s sexual affair with the girl is his personal business, then why not the sodomy trial,” wrote one commentator.

“It is the same (in that both are considered sins in some cultures) isn’t it – zina and liwat. You can say under civil law there is specific provision to (nail) anwar but under Syariah law there is also punishment for zina.”

Behind Exhumation of Simon Bolivar Is Hugo Chavez’s Warped Obsession

From Washington Post
By Thor Halvorssen

Upon Julius Caesar’s murder, a struggle erupted over who would control his legacy. Octavius, Caesar’s great-nephew, manipulated his position as Caesar’s heir to wrest power from his rivals. He made Caesar a god and raised a temple, using Caesar’s remains to underscore their connection. Symbolism was crucial, and to dispel any doubts about his legitimacy, Octavius added “Julius Caesar” to his name.

Shortly after midnight on July 16, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez reached back in time. He presided at the exhumation of the remains of Simón Bolívar — Latin America’s greatest independence hero, who helped liberate the region from Spain in the 19th century, and the object of Chávez’s personal and political obsession.

Saiful’s Alleged Affair: Possibility of Sodomy II Mistrial

As public misgivings grow, there are calls for the sodomy trial against Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim to be suspended until a probe has been completed on allegations that Saiful Bukhari Azlan’s neutrality as the key witness has been compromised because of a sexual affair with a member of the prosecuting team.

“We are looking at a possible mistrial if the allegations are true. I think everyone was shocked when the news came out, but let’s get it right. From the beginning, by the fact of their status in the case, this was never a personal affair between two people,” Anwar’s lawyer Sivarasa Rasiah told Malaysia Chronicle.

“If true, there is a fundamental and serious conflict of interest. And this is why it is important that the court orders a probe as soon as possible.”

Obama’s Failure in Burma

Friday, July 23, 2010

With Secretary of State Hillary Clinton attending the ASEAN Regional Forum this week, it is an opportune moment to examine U.S. efforts to engage with Burma (also known as Myanmar). When President Obama was inaugurated, many in the international community were particularly enthusiastic about a return to U.S. multilateralism to address global problems. Nowhere was this more necessary than in the case of Burma, where a brutal military dictatorship has for decades both oppressed its people and failed to yield power, despite losing democratic elections in a landslide in 1990.

Many observers of the nascent administration, myself included, applauded Clinton’s announcement in early 2009 of a full review of U.S. policy towards Burma. I understood that some creative thinking would be valuable, having spent eight years as the U.N. special rapporteur on human rights in Myanmar, trying to address the problems created by the junta. Yet since those early days, the Obama administration has made a series of inexplicable missteps. Selanjutnya…

Apa Hak Nong Chik Isytihar Status Tanah Kg Baru

Dewan Pemuda PAS Wilayah Persekutuan (DPPWP) mempersoalkan kenyataan Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan dan Kesejahteraan Bandar, Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin yang mengatakan hampir kesemua tanah di Kampung Baru sudah dikeluarkan hak milik dari senarai Enakmen Penempatan Pertanian Melayu (MAS) 1950 ke bawah Kanun Tanah Negara (KTN) 1965.
