Bila diperkatakan perihal laporan perubatan terhadap kes liwat Anwar, pasti kita tidak akan lupa dengan satu nama yang amat sinonim dengan kes beliau pada tahun 1998 dulu iaitu Dr.Zahari Noor. Beliau adalah salah seorang Pakar Forensik (Terkanan) yang bertugas di Hospital Kuala Lumpur yang telah diarahkan bertukar ke Hospital Tg.Ampuan Afzan Kuantan (foto), gara-gara enggan untuk memberi kerjasama sepenuhnya bagi berkaitan kes tersebut. Adalah difahamkan, gara-gara sikapnya yang tidak mahu bersekongkol dengan penipuan dan kejahatan yang dilakukan oleh pihak terbabit dalam usaha membuat bukti-bukti palsu terhadap kes berkenaan maka beliau telah diarahkan bertukar. Beliau selepas itu menjadi Pakar Forensik di HTAA dan juga di Pantai Timur. Namanya kini sepi dan seolah-olah dilupakan terus oleh media arus perdana dan alternatif. Namun, krew kami di Kuantan yang pernah bertemu beliau di dalam sebuah masjid di sana, secara jelas mendapatkan maklumat tentang kes Anwar daripada beliau. Antara lain, beliau turut mengakui bahawa kes yang berlaku itu adalah rekaan dan ciptaan semata-mata. Pihak Hospital Kuala Lumpur telah dipaksa oleh polis untuk membuat dan meminda laporan perubatan Sukma serta lain-lain mangsa yang dikaitkan dengan Anwar.
Mereka dipaksa meminda bahawa kesemua mangsa itu memang telah diliwat oleh Anwar biar pun hakikatnya adalah tidak sama sekali. Bagi mereka yang tidak mahu terlibat dan bersekongkol dengan kerja jahat tersebut, maka akan ditukarkan. Namun, beliau bersyukur kerana kini selesa berpindah ke Hospital Tg.Ampuan Afzan Kuantan ketika itu. Maka itu, jika laporan yang memang sudah sahih menunjukkan mangsa tidak diliwat itu pun mahu dipinda supaya berlaku sebaliknya. Apatah lagi laporan yang dibuat oleh Dr.Mohamed Osman dari Hospital Pusrawi dulu. Kini, akhirnya kebenaran bagai kian terserlah apabila ketiga-tiga doktor pakar yang merawat Saiful Bukhari dalam kes liwat terbaru Anwar kini sebulat suara mengeluarkan kenyataan bahawa anak muda itu memang tidak ada kesan dan tanda-tanda diliwat. Apakah ketiga-tiga doktor pakar terbabit akan menerima nasib yang sama seperti Dr.Zahari Noor agaknya? Nantikan sahaja kesudahan episod misteri ini. Ternyata kini, bahawa kesemua laporan klinikal membuktikan yang Saiful “masih teruna”, dan wajarlah kes perbicaraan liwat yang bakal diadakan pada 1 Julai 2009 ini juga turut dibatalkan oleh Mahkamah Tinggi. Di bawah ini dipaparkan sedutan artikel berkaitan Dr.Zahari :- Selanjutnya…

KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 — Pakatan Rakyat (PR) is set to finally put together the framework for a more structured and permanent political structure in the partnership of PAS, PKR and DAP, which will see Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim put in place as chairman of a leadership council.
A “rapid response unit” comprising key members from the three partners will also be set up to counter political attacks with a uniformed message and mitigate the kind of gamesmanship and petty politicking which has seen the alliance rocked to its core in recent weeks.
But any notion of the new leadership council being a quick-fix for the open squabbling which broke out this week is likely to be tempered by the fact that wide ideological differences still exist in the alliance formed soon after last year’s general election.
The problems PR is still facing in Penang and Kedah as well as the Umno-PAS unity government talks suggest a lack of compromise so far between its leaders.
The Malaysian Insider understands that plans for a properly structured leadership council have been tabled to the leaders of the three parties as Datuk Zaid Ibrahim, brought into PKR ostensibly as the man to do this, follows up on plans to formalise the coalition.

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) — Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, who faces trial this month on sodomy charges, said his Pakatan Rakyat alliance would survive even if he is convicted and jailed.
Anwar has rejected the allegations levelled by a 23-year-old former aide as a conspiracy to derail his plan to topple the government.
He was found guilty of separate sodomy and corruption charges a decade ago in a case widely seen as politically motivated. In 2004 the sodomy conviction was overturned, allowing Anwar to go free after six years in jail.
“There is no question of the Pakatan Rakyat continuing, surviving. It will continue to defend the rights of the people and challenge the government, gaining strength from any conviction made against me,” Anwar told AFP.

Penyiasatan dan pendakwaan ke atas Anwar Ibrahim telah menimbulkan pelbagai persepsi dan spekulasi. Meskipun Anwar Ibrahim belum di dakwa secara rasmi di mahkamah, terdapat pelbagai kepincangan dalam siasatan dan dalam perjalanan kes ini. Berikut ialah 10 perkara misteri dan luar biasa yang timbul dalam kes Anwar.
.
1. Laporan Pengadu enggan diserahkan
Ini merupakan satu perkara yang luar biasa. Lazimnya, apabila seseorang yang dituduh dengan sesuatu kesalahan meminta laporan polis yang dibuat oleh pengadu, ianya akan dibekalkan dalam masa seminggu ke dua minggu oleh pihak polis. Tanpa laporan pengadu, orang yang tertuduh sukar membela diri kerana apa yang didakwa pun tentulah tidak jelas. Pengalaman penulis memohon laporan polis bagi membela anak guam membuatkan penulis hairan kerana penulis pernah beberapa kali mendapat laporan pengadu pada pagi yang sama penulis memohon. Kenyataan Hamid Albar bahawa laporan enggan diberi kerana pendakwaan belum dimulakan secara rasmi tidak masuk akal kerana masyarakat maklum Anwar telah ditahan oleh polis, keterangannya telah diambil dan beliau perlu membela diri dan reputasinya. Ini meyakinkan masyarakat bahawa laporan polis belum ada dan perbincangan sedang dibuat berhubung inti laporan tersebut untuk mendapatkan tarikh dakwaan yang paling sesuai.
2. Anwar ditangkap sebelum tempoh
Adalah sesuatu yang cukup memalukan apabila pihak polis memungkiri janji dan menangkap Anwar sebelum tempoh yang diberikan tamat. Tempoh diberi sehingga pukul 2 petang tetapi Anwar ditangkap sekitar pukul 1 petang. Mungkin polis terbawa-bawa sikap Pak Lah yang kerap membuat kenyataan palsu.
3. Anwar disabitkan bersalah sebelum dibicarakan
Apabila Pak lah diminta mengulas berhubung kes Anwar, Pak Lah dengan segera berkata bahawa memanglah penjenayah akan menafikan kesalahannya. Belum pun perbicaraan bermula, Anwar sudah disabitkan sebagai pesalah oleh Pak Lah. Pada masa yang sama, apabila Pak Lah diminta mengulas berhubung dakwaan ke atas najib dan Rosmah, Pak Lah dengan segera menyatakan bahawa Pak Lah berkeyakinan penuh bahawa Najib dan Rosmah tidak bersalah. Jika Mahathir dikaitkan dengan konspirasi perlantikan hakim, pak Lah selangkah ke hadapan dengan melantik dirinya sebagai hakim tidak rasmi. Selanjutnya…

PUTRAJAYA, June 30 – The Court of Appeal here today overruled the public prosecutor’s preliminary objections against Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s appeal to move his Sodomy II trial back to the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court.
The panel of three judges said they would continue to hear the merits of Anwar’s appeal tomorrow morning.
Justice Datuk Abdull Hamid Embong, who headed the bench today, told both sides to prepare their arguments to directly address the heart of the dispute by tomorrow, which focuses on whether the controversial certificate of transfer, signed by the Attorney General (AG) Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail is valid or not.
The court wants answers on three key points: the concept of “legitimate expectation” (which is basically the assurance then Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi gave Anwar’s wife and daughter that Abdul Gani will not be in any way involved in Anwar’s second sodomy case); the doctrine of necessity; and the question of perceived bias.
Anwar has consistently maintained that Abdul Gani, whom he accuses of having a hand in falsifying his records in the first sodomy case in 1998, is biased.
The Court of Appeal also granted a stay of proceedings in the KL High Court tomorrow.
The High Court was earlier scheduled to hear Anwar’s application against the public prosecutor for allegedly withholding important evidence connected to his trial.

PETALING JAYA, June 28 – Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today questioned the sincerity of the prime minister in announcing a new merit-based scholarship programme obviously aimed at winning back Chinese voter support from Pakatan Rakyat (PR).
“Last time, when I said it, I was called a Chinese agent. Now that Najib has said it what are you going to call him? Is he now a Chinese agent and traitor to the Malays?” said Anwar sarcastically when asked today about the new scholarships to be based purely on merit.
The Opposition Leader has been frequently labelled a “traitor” and “Chinese agent” by Umno leaders since he launched PR’s reform agenda.
Anwar’s PR has successfully used its Ketuanan Rakyat, or supremacy of the people, slogan to differentiate itself from Umno’s Ketuanan Melayu, or supremacy of the Malays, rallying cry which has caused concern even among non-Malay Barisan Nasional (BN) parties.

A. INTRODUCTION
1. Aung San Suu Kyi said in 1991 that it is not power that corrupts but fear. She said that fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it while the fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.
2. Fundamental liberties are the people’s “armour” against such fear. They are the great equalisers between rich and poor, strong and weak. They are universal values that preserve the dignity of every human being. They are found in many religious beliefs and philosophies and in the Constitutions and declarations of nations. The ideas are not new.
3. In the aftermath of the Second World War the United Nations General Assembly saw fit to adopt the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) on the 10th of December 1948 recognising in their preamble the “disregard and contempt for human rights” which had taken place during the war that resulted in “barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind”
4. That was 61 years ago. When the world was reeling from the atrocities of war and the infliction of the worst abuses by man upon man. In a world gone mad the UDHR sought to set minimum standards upon which human beings were to interact with each other. We must now examine if we have all indeed met this minimum standard.

Johor Bahru - Setelah perbicaraan kes liwat Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim ditunda kepada 8 Julai 2009, kini pelbagai pihak mempertikaikan kesahihan kes tersebut. Kini pelbagai dakwaan berlakunya konpirasi untuk menjatuhkan imej Ketua Pembangkang itu.
Mohd Saiful Bukhari mendakwa didalam blognya bahawa apa yang disumpahnya adalah benar. Manakala Majlis Pegum telah mengeluarkan kenyataannya mendakwa kes tersebut perlu digugurkan kerana tiada bukti jelas berlaku liwat pada laporan perubatan Mohd. Saiful.
Blog Gerakan Anti-PKR pula mendakwa tujuan Anwar pergi ke Amerika Syarikat pada minggu hadapan bertujuan melarikan diri dari kes tersebut dan meminta simpati kepada presiden Berek Obama. Blog itu meminta pihak berkuasa menahan pasport Anwar.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 – Board members of Petroliam Nasional (Petronas) stood their ground this week and have politely turned down a bid by Prime Minister Najib Razak to admit a key political aide as a director of the national oil corporation.
Government officials close to the situation told The Straits Times that the board in a meeting on Wednesday had reaffirmed its decision a month previous not to admit Omar Mustapha as a director because he had defaulted on his scholarship loan agreement with Petronas two decades earlier.
The board, which was directed by Datuk Seri Najib to reconsider its decision last month over Omar’s proposed appointment, also decided it would send a delegation to brief the Prime Minister on the matter in the coming days.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 — National oil company Petronas’s net profit declined by 13.9 per cent due to low oil prices and high production costs.
The group reported RM52.5 billion in net profit compared with RM61 billion the previous year.
Petronas CEO and president Tan Sri Mohd Hassan Marican does not expect oil prices, currently around US$50 a barrel compared with a high of over US$140 last year, to improve any time soon.
“Fundamentals do not justify the prospect of high prices,” he told the media during a briefing on the group’s financial results.
“Demand is down and spare capacity has increased. My own opinion is that the current prices are due to speculative trading and the depreciation of the US dollar. We are still in a low price and high-cost environment till the global economy improves.”
The Petronas group’s revenue increased by 18.4 per cent to RM264.2 billion compared with RM223.1 billion the previous year.

Politicians often speak from both sides of their mouths. The PM recently said that it was the religious duty of Muslims to be united.
No doubt this is true and there is nothing wrong with Muslims in Malaysia sitting down and discussing important issues that affect that community.
Similarly, there is nothing wrong if those who believe in non-racialism to sit down to find ways to unite all Malaysians regardless of race.
The problem is timing. If it is a religious duty, why now and not before?
umno 63 anniversary dinner 110509 03Previously, when Umno controlled a huge majority in parliament, they did not offer to share power with PAS.
They even sneered at PKR’s sole representative in the 2004 parliament, thinking that party was a bleep and headed for political oblivion.
Now, much weakened, Umno is throwing the olive branch at PAS, hoping to snare some sort of positive response.
Similarly, the MCA is also extending a friendly hand to the DAP, which it insists is a Chinese party. But what has been sustaining the DAP throughout the years is its non-sectarian framework.
