Rose Ismail’s testimony was outrageous.

By Anwar Ibrahim 5 Comments

Categories: Anwar, Isu Semasa and Sidenotes

Attention: Datin Rose Ismail
For the record, I am highlighting the views regarding the RM3 billion caper (see Hafiz Yatim’s report in Malaysiakini below) of former US Ambassador to Malaysia, John Malott ,which appeared in my blog under comment. In the interest of respectable and responsible journalism, Rose Ismail should respond to them.

I also wish to remind her and others like her in the NST and other mainstream media that sycophancy comes at a price. You should report with integrity since the media serves to inform not mislead the Malaysian public.–Din Merican

She claims that she based her article on another article called “Pacific Whim” in the American magazine, The New Republic. The truth is, she wanted to write a smear on Anwar, so she left out anything in the New Republic article that did not support the allegations she wanted to make. For example, the New Republic wrote:

“Roughly once a year from late 1994 to early 1998, in conjunction with two government- affiliated Malaysian think tanks, the center organized elaborate three-day conferences that brought together the prime minister and deputy prime minister of Malaysia, various government ministers from other East Asian countries, and a delegation of U.S. senators and American CEOs.” Continue reading ‘Rose Ismail’s testimony was outrageous.’

Anwar Named Selangor’s Economic Advisor

By Anwar Ibrahim 2 Comments

Categories: Agenda Baru, Anwar, Demokrasi, Ekonomi, Hebahan, Isu Semasa and Sidenotes

Anwar Ibrahim will get a chance to implement emerging new theories of economic development now that he’s been appointed economic adviser to the Selangor state government.

The appointment was announced today by Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim in a bid to enlist a wider array of experience from within Pakatan Rakyat to boost its standing as pacesetter among Malaysian sates where economic development is concerned.

Khalid’s administration was recently beset by internal dissension, with a couple of executive councillors opening feuding over matters ranging from the trivial to the important.

Anwar’s presence in the state’s inner councils would lend it prestige and have a diminishing effect on internal politicking.

Oh Tuhan! Tunjuki Aku Untuk Terus Menegakkan Keadilan

By Anwar Ibrahim 24 Comments

Categories: Agenda Baru, Anwar, Catatan, Demokrasi, Hebahan and Isu Semasa

Saya dan Azizah ke Bangsar menziarah sahabat Father OC Lim yang sedang pulih kesihatannya setelah pembedahan jantung. Beliau merupakan paderi yang tegas memperjuangkan hak asasi dan keadilan. Malah semasa saya merengkok di penjara, beliau sering mendoakan kesejahteraan saya dan moga segera dibebaskan dari cengkaman kezaliman.

Ada secebis kisah menyayat hati tatkala beliau masuk ke kamar bedah IJN. Adik perempuannya menanyakan samada tanda salib boleh diletakkan di samping adiknya. Doktor Muslim tersebut membenarkan dengan syarat dimasukkan dalam sampul plastik yg disediakan. Namun sebelum dimasukkan bius (anestatik), doktor membisikkan ke telinga Father OC Lim, “biasanya bagi pesakit Muslim, saya bacakan Al Quran; dan saudara seorang Nasrani, sila beritahu bahagian mana dari kitab Injil yang harus saya bacakan?”

Father OC menjawab sayu,”dari Psalm 23.”

Maka segera dibacakan doktor peringatan Tuhan agar tidak gentar dan meyakini kudrat Tuhan. Pesakit khusyuk dan tenang sehinggalah sedarkan diri 4 hari kemudiannya.

Kami mendoakan semoga beliau segera sembuh, berjuang sambil mencatat pengalamannya.

Memenuhi Undangan Habibie Center

Categories: Aktiviti, Antarabangsa, Anwar, Asia Tenggara, Catatan and Demokrasi

Saya ke Jakarta kelmarin memenuhi undangan Habibie Center untuk acara Memantapkan Konsolidasi Demokrasi dan Mengakhiri Masa Transisi: Agenda Bangsa 2009-2014. Selain siri diskusi, turut diadakan pertandingan debat mahasiswa, expo dan pertunjukkan seni serta majlis penyerahan Anugerah Habibie (Habibie Award).

Acara pidato berkenaan demokrasi serantau tak dapat saya penuhi kerana ka mahkamah memberi keterangan untuk kes saman akhbar New Straits Times. Turut hadir ialah Wakil Presiden Indonesia, Boediono; mantan Presiden, BJ Habibie; Gabenor Lembaga Ketahanan Nasional (Lemhanas), Prof. Dr. Muladi SH dan mantan Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan, Prof. Wardiman Djojonegoro.

Mengulas tentang Habibie Award, Prof. Wardiman menyatakan ianya sebagai inisiatif untuk mendorong pengembangan sumberdaya manusia agar terus berkarya dalam ilmu dasar, teknologi, falsafah dan kerekayasaan. Manakala Wakil Presiden pula dalam ucapan beliau mempertahankan rekod Indonesia di era demokrasi yakni kestabilan ekonomi yang lebih baik dari kebanyakan negara jiran lainnya dan yang paling utama adalah perjuangan menegakkan hukum dan hak asasi.

Majlis berakhir dengan bacaan puisi oleh saudara Taufik Ismail berjudul Renungan dan Doa Untuk Bangsa (Setelah 64 Tahun Merdeka).

“Sebuah rumah sakit kedatangan seorang pasien pria,
Dari kartu penduduk ternyata 64 tahun umurnya,
…
Karena terbiasa suap-menyuap terbentuklah ilusi,
Bahawa harta orang lain tak apa diambil jadi milik sendiri,
Dan disuapkan ke mulut sendiri,
….
Rabbana
Karuniakan kapada bangsa kami
Kemampuan membedakan antara benang putih dan benang hitam
Didalam hutan ditengah malam
Kemampuan membedakan rezeki halal dan rezeki haram
Sehingga akhlak bangsa menjadi cemerlang…..”

Saya, Wakil Presiden, Habibie, menteri dan para hadirin mendengar dengan khusyuk dan hiba. Bagaimana agaknya jika berpuisi di khalayak bersama para menteri di Malaysia?
