Saya konsisten menyatakan betapa pencemaran mesjid, gereja dan rumah ibadat yang berterusan amat membimbangkan. Rakyat harus waspada dengan muslihat individu atau gerombolan yang mewakili kalangan terdesak menghasut rakyat dengan memperalatkan isu kaum dan agama.

Tindakan polis dan Menteri Dalam Negeri membuat penangkapan ramai dan menggunakan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri amat dicurigai. Adalah dikhuatiri langkah tersebut adalah percubaan mengalih perhatian dari gerombolan terlibat. Kami membantah keras penggunaan ISA dalam apa jua keadaan sekalipun.

Dalam menangani kemelut kini, kami ulangi saranan agar pertemuan antara kaum dan agama dianjurkan di setiap peringkat agar permasalahan ini tidak membarah di kalangan masyarakat.

Mengulas soalsiasat polis ke atas Azizah semalam, saya kesal kerana setelah dua tahun, Azizah masih disoal siasat polis bersabit kes fitnah terhadap saya.
Pendakwa heboh kononnya siap dengan kes yang kukuh sejak tahun lalu. Tetapi selepas 25 Januari pun mereka masih mengganggu keluarga saya.
Alhamdulillah Azizah dapat menempuh dugaan tersebut dengan yakin. Didoakan semoga khianat mereka akan terbongkar dan muslihat mereka gagal.

ANWAR IBRAHIM

From Reuters

Malaysia’s opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim goes on trial next week on sodomy charges for the second time, confident he will win and believing the government’s mishandling of a religious row has bolstered the opposition’s political standing.

Anwar, 62, was this Southeast Asian country’s deputy premier and prime minister-in-waiting until 1998, when he was ousted from government, accused of corruption and sodomy and eventually jailed at the height of the Asian economic crisis.

In an interview with Reuters on Tuesday, Anwar said the ongoing row over whether Christians can use the word “Allah”, in which 11 churches and other religious buildings have been attacked, had hurt “the credibility of the government”.

Anwar was released from prison in 2004 after the top court overturned his sodomy conviction, and went on to build up his three-party People’s Alliance coalition. (more…)

Could the move by the police to record Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail’s statement yesterday see the PKR president ending up on the witness stand early to testify in her husband’s sodomy trial?

The one-hour interrogation of Wan Azizah a week shy of Anwar Ibrahim’s Sodomy II trial has raised eyebrows.

As the defence team was not given the prosecution’s witness list, speculation is rife the PKR president’s name may end up on it following the latest development.

PKR vice-president R Sivarasa , who accompanied Wan Azizah to the Tropicana police station said he found it strange that police would called her now, two years after the alleged sodomy.

Sivarasa, who is also part of Anwar’s defence team said Wan Azizah was being questioned as an “alibi witness”.

“I find it strange for the police to record a statement from Wan Azizah just when the trial is scheduled to start.”

“Anyway she had given her statement to the police and it is consistent. I only find it odd they decide to question her only now and not earlier,” the Subang MP said. (more…)

Polis dilihat sebagai cuba mengenakan tekanan terhadap keluarga Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim apabila menyoal siasat isterinya hari ini,lebih dua tahun selepas siasatan ke atas tuduhan liwat dijalankan.

Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail yang juga Presiden Keadilan terpaksa memberi keterangan sebagai saksi kepada Penolong Penguasa Polis Lily Choo atas arahan pihak atasan polis.

Tindakan polis itu mengejutkan dan menimbulkan pelbagai tanda-tanya kerana perbicaraan Anwar dijangka bermula pada minggu depan manakala siasatan telah siap dijalankan lama sebelum ini. (more…)
