Polis perlu juga siasat pemimpin BN yang punya ‘kekayaan melampau’
PORT DICKSON – Penasihat Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sedia disiasat berhubung dakwaan mempunyai simpanan sebanyak RM3 bilion seperti mana didedahkan bekas Penolong Gabenor Bank Negara, Datuk Abdul Murad Khalid beberapa tahun lalu.
Anwar yang juga Ketua UMUM Pakatan Rakyat (PR) berkata, beliau tidak gentar dengan dakwaan itu, tetapi mahu siasatan turut dijalankan terhadap beberapa pemimpin Barisan Nasional (BN) yang memiliki ‘kekayaan melampau’
“Sila siasat, saya tidak takut, saya juga minta diwujudkan satu suruhanjaya bebas untuk menyiasat kesemua harta yang hilang secara bebas termasuklah siasatan terhadap diri Khairy (Ketua Pemuda UMNO) sendiri terutamanya.
“Fitnah ini dibuat sejak 1998 lagi tetapi sehingga sekarang mereka tidak boleh membuktikan apa-apa pun,” katanya kepada Sinar Harian selepas menghadiri program bersama masyarakat India di Estet Sua Betong di sini, semalam.
Ahli Parlimen Permatang Pauh itu turut menolak dakwaan Khairy bahawa beliau memiliki simpanan dalam beberapa ‘master accounts’ dan pernah disiasat Badan Pencegahan Rasuah (BPR) tetapi tidak menemui sebarang bukti.
“Selama 11 tahun dakwaan seperti ini dibuat, saya tidak takut kerana saya tidak bersalah, yang perlu berasa takut adalah Khairy sebab beliau mampu mengumpul kekayaan sehingga beratus-ratus juta, di mana beliau dapat kekayaan tersebut?” katanya.
Khairy sebelum ini meminta polis menyiasat Anwar susulan kenyataan Datuk S Nallakarupan yang mendakwa Anwar mempunyai pelbagai sumber kewangan yang besar seperti mana didedahkan Abdul Murad Khalid dalam kenyataan pada tahun 1999.
Diminta mengulas peluang calon Pas, Zulkefly Mohd Omar memenangi pilihan raya kecil Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Bagan Pinang, Anwar yakin dapat menembusi kubu kuat BN kerana sokongan yang ditunjukkan pengundi di situ amat baik sekali.

How many times have you found yourself wishing you could reestablish Islam in the hearts of people? Or free Masjid al Aqsa? Or be a leader of the Islamic Revival? Alhamdullilah, Ustadh Anwar Ibrahim, former Malaysian Prime Minister and Islamic Activist, spoke to our community this past Sunday and gave us amazing tips on how we as Muslim Americans can make our sky-high dreams come true, bi’idnillah.
Ustadh Anwar began his Sunday visit to the MCA with a special dinner hosted by MAS. MAS members were able to ask him questions and ask for his advice on the current Islamic Revival. In the evening, Ustadh Anwar discussed Islam, freedom and democracy. While his words were filled with jewels, there were a few gems in his message which I felt are particularly relevant to our North-American community:
1- We are American Muslims and our movements are based in North-America. Thus, we should not aspire to implement what other “majority Muslim populated” countries are implementing “back home.” We need to work within the reality of our context.
2- In America, our rights and freedom is often much greater and much vaster than those given in “Muslim” countries. Let’s take that freedom and get to work, bi’idnillah ta’ala.
3- Our message must be filled with justice all across the board. It is not justice to blast the United States for Abu Ghuraib and ignore the plight of the oppressive and brutal jail practices of “Muslim” governments upon their own people. Both must be condemned, and we must ensure that our message is consistent regardless of the others’ religious beliefs, or lack thereof.
Brothers and sisters, it’s time to get to work! Ustadh Anwar discussed the names of past and contemporary scholars whom he consulted throughout his work as an activist, some of whom have passed. Listening to Ustadh Anwar speak with ma sha’ Allah such wisdom and experience, barak Allahu fee, I began to wonder, where will I be in a few decades? Akhi, where will you be in a few decades? What about you ya okhti? We’ve got the organizations and the framework to get moving, bi’idnillah and we’ve been blessed with amazing, experienced activists to give us advice and words of guidance. There is a ton of work to be done… the question is: you game?

Anwar Ibrahim, the man poised to become Malaysia’s new prime minister, is profiled in today’s Voice. The full text of the email interview with him has been reproduced below:
To start off, why are you attempting to remove the current government from power?
In a democracy, imperfect though it is in Malaysia, you need two legitimacies to govern: a moral legitimacy and a political one.
The moral legitimacy stems from your entire deportment whilst governing – transparency of conduct, rule of law, separation of powers, integrity of office bearers, and the like.
The political legitimacy results from your effective command of the electorate and its legislators.
The National Front of Malaysia, in power for 51 years now, has been oozing its moral legitimacy to govern for at least a decade now. The judiciary was corrupted, the police force became dysfunctional, the civil service was reduced to a rubber stamp, money politics infected political parties, and matters to do with race and religion became a minefield. The economy is sluggish, now approaching quagmire status and the government has offered no solution to the problem of widespread joblessness, rampant inflation and the decline in foreign direct investment. In sum a tragic state of affairs after 51 years of governance.
The National Front’s political legitimacy was premised on its command of a two-thirds majority in Parliament. Once before it lost that majority — in 1969 when race riots flared in the aftermath of that loss.
On March 8th this year, it lost that majority in the general election, the 12th in the nation’s history. A psychological threshold was breached and in its wake, there was mounting discovery that the emperor has no clothes.
The divestment of the moral and political legitimacy to govern has brought the National Front to the current impasse. The opposition coalition wants to end this stalemate by inviting government legislators to join in our campaign of national regeneration.

On Wednesday, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair appeared in Gaston Hall as part of the Common Word Between US and You: A Global Agenda for Change Conference. The gathering at Georgetown, intended to encourage dialogue and promote peace between Muslims and Christians, comes after similar events at Yale Theological Seminary and Cambridge University in 2008.
Blair appeared as part of the World Leaders Forum alongside former Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia (and former Georgetown Professor) Anwar Ibrahim, former Prime Minister of Norway Kjell Magne Bondevik , and the Grand Mufti of Bosnia-Herzegovina Mustafa Cedric. Riz Khan, host of the Al-Jazzera program that bears his name, moderated the discussion.
