Azizah memaklumkan yang sahabat saya yang juga bekas Naib Presiden KeADILan, Datuk Sheikh Azmi Sheikh Ahmad kini berada di Hospital Kulim untuk rawatan susulan penyakit kencing manis beliau.

Saya ada nukilkan dalam catitan terdahulu sebelum ini mengenai lawatan saya dan Wan Azizah menziarahi beliau di Subang Jaya Medical Centre.

Beberapa pimpinan KeADILan Bahagian Permatang Pauh ada menziarahi beliau di Kulim setelah dimaklumkan Azizah.

Saya dan keluarga mendoakan agar Sheikh Azmi terus berada dalam keadaan baik dan sentiasa cekal mendepani cabaran, InshaAllah…

International Herald Tribune:

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia: Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said Monday he was warned to either reveal the whistle-blower behind a video tape alleging judicial corruption or risk prosecution.

Anwar accused the government of trying to delay a proper investigation and to divert public attention from the allegations of judicial misconduct raised by the video.

In a statement, Anwar asked why the Anti-Corruption Agency was more concerned about conducting a “witch hunt” for the person who made the tape than investigating the actual allegations.

Last month, Anwar released the video clip in which a prominent lawyer is allegedly taped brokering the appointment of top judges in 2002.

However, he only showed eight minutes of the original 14-minute video footage and refused to release the remainder to protect the identity of the man who secretly took the video at the lawyer’s house with his mobile phone.

Anwar said Anti-Corruption Agency officials quizzed him on Monday for a second time in three weeks and ordered him to surrender the original complete video footage by Thursday or face prosecution.

Anwar’s statement said he remained concerned for the safety of the whistle-blower if the rest of the tape is released.

The video shows the lawyer talking on his mobile phone to a person identified as a senior judge.

The lawyer allegedly talks about how he helped get the judge appointed to his current post and discusses plans to elevate him further with the help of a tycoon and a senior politician.

The government has said it is willing to offer witness protection, including plastic surgery and a new identity, to lure the whistle-blower to come forward.

It has appointed an independent panel to investigate the authenticity of the video, but activists say the panel lacks sufficient power and should expand its probe to look into the conduct of judges.

Judges are appointed by the king on the prime minister’s recommendation. Rights groups and lawyers have called for an impartial commission to oversee the appointments.

waliwibowo memberi respon:

Nampaknya saudara sekarang tersangat aktif dengan gagasan Demokrasi, HAM, dan Pluralisme setelah terkeluarnya saudara dari tim kepimpinan pemerintah. Jarang benar sekali sekarang saudara menyebut nama2 saperti al-Bana, Syed Qutub, Maududi dan sealirannya sapertimana yg gah semasa di ABIM dulu.

Perjalanan perjuangan saudara saperti bersimpang siur.

Saudara dilihat saperti seorang oportunis dengan mengambil pendekatan popular semasa. Pada awalnya saudara mirip ke IM, kemudian lompat ke tim pemerintah, dan kini tim oposisi dengan membawa gagasan popular semasa Demokrasi, HAM dan Pluralisme. Selepas ni mau kemana?

Sdr waliwibowo,

Saranan saya di Universiti Georgetown bersama Syed Hussin Nasr dan lain-lain ialah penegasan bahawa sebarang dialog akan hanya bermakna seandainnya semua aliran – ittijahad – dilibatkan. Selama ini gerakan islam dipinggirkan oleh Amerika Syarikat dan sekutu mereka. Gagasan saya jauh berbeda, maka saya tetap mengadakan pertemuan dengan pimpinan Jamaat Islami di Pakistan, meneruskan hubungan dengan pimpinan Ikhwan di Mesir, mengiktiraf hak Hamas di Palestin atau merujuk kepada pandangan ulama saperti Sheikh Yusuf Al Qardhawi dan Sheikh Taha Jabir Al Elwani.

Mungkin sdr hanya menelaah liputan media rasmi milik Umno-BN. Sepanjang Ramadhan, jika sdr teliti muatan dalam blog adalah madrasah ruhiyyah dan penghayatan Al-Quran sebagai “jil qurani yun farid” (meminjam ungkapan Sayyid Qutb).

Dan seperti yang pernah disarankan oleh Hasan Hudhaibi – du’ah la qudhah – berdakwah bukan pantas menghukum. Usaha kita perlulah mengarah kepada penyebaran risalah dengan hikmah.
