Tafsiran “Muktamad” Speaker Kangaroo Court

Dari Merdeka Review
Oleh Ooi Heng

Parlimen Malaysia membuka lembaran sejarah kegelapan baru hari ini setelah bersidang dalam kekecohan “ala-Kangaroo court”. Umum sedia maklum bahawa Kangaroo sejenis binatang yang menjadi lambang khusus Australia. Tetapi hari ini dengan Speaker yang acap kali menitikberatkan bahawa segala keputusan Speaker adalah “muktamad” meskipun “modus operandi” keputusan muktamad Speaker Parlimen Australia jauh berbeza dengan “modus operandi” “keputusan muktamad” Speaker Parlimen Malaysia. Rakyat dunia 1Malaysia cukup bernasib baik kerana berkesempatan melihat dari dekat kejadian-kejadian yang mencorakkan Kangaroo court meskipun apa yang berlaku adalah sesuatu yang memalukan Malaysia apabila dilihat dari jauh oleh masyarakat antarabangsa termasuk negara yang dilambangkan oleh Kangaroo.

Dalam kekecohan yang telah dilaporkan segera oleh laman web berita, aku yang berperut buncit memerhatikan sesuatu yang wajar dibangkitkan dalam ulasanku mengenai peranan Speaker dalam Kangaroo court yang juga berperut buncit yang kononnya “above politics” semasa kekecohan berlaku.

Aziz Bari: Politik Apa Yang Zaid Mainkan?

Dari TVSelangor

Sebagai seorang ahli politik yang bergerak dalam satu pasukan, Datuk Zaid Ibrahim tidak boleh sewenang-wenangnya bertindak melulu hanya kerana tidak berpuas hati tentang beberapa perkara dalam parti lalu membuka ruang kepada musuh untuk menyerang PKR dan Pakatan Rakyat, ujar Prof Dr Abd

ul Aziz Bari.

“Sebagai ahli parti beliau boleh bercakap apa yang dia hendak. Tetapi saya rasa sebagai pemain dalam pasukan dia kena bertanggungjawab dan cerdik

sikitlah.

“Jadi saya tidak fikir apa yang dilakukan oleh Zaid itu sebagai tindakan yang bijaksana. Maknanya dia tidak puas hati, dia bakar kapal,” ujar Aziz.

Aziz yang juga pensyarah undang-undang berkata, Zaid perlu bertindak profesional jika ada pun ketidakpuasan hati dalam isu pemilihan parti misalnya, kerana sebagai seorang yang dikatakan komited dengan perjuangan, tindakan beliau juga hendaklah rasional dan mendokong perjuangan parti.

Menurut Aziz, semua maklum dalam soal pemilihan ada kelemahan kerana ini kali pertama dan PKR berhadapan dengan ahli-ahli yang tidak biasa dengan
proses ini selain daripada sabotaj luar dan sebagainya, dan dia(Zaid) kena bersabarlah.

“Sebagai seorang yang kononnya komited dengan perjuangan

mendemokrasikan Malaysia baru, dia tidak sepatutnya mengambil jalan ini kerana ini akan menjadi bahan kepada musuh-musuh atau mereka yang tidak mahu berubah ini.

“Jadi saya rasa Zaid telah tersilap besar dan dia dengan tidak semena-mena menyediakan peluru untuk mereka yang tidak suka demokrasi, yang tidak suka
pembaharuan Malaysia,” tambah Aziz lagi.

KEADILAN Komited Mengangkat Martabat Rakyat

Dari Suara Keadilan

Ketua Umum KEADILAN, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim berkata sekiranya Pakatan Rakyat diamanahkan untuk menubuhkan kerajaan pusat pada Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13, beliau berjanji untuk menurunkan harga minyak keesokkan harinya.

Anwar menegaskan ini bukan janji manis atau cakap kerana sebagai bekas Menteri Kewangan yang memegang jawatan itu selama lapan tahun, beliau tahu keuntungan hasil pendapatan mampu menampung keputusan yang bakal dilaksanakan itu.

“Saya tahu di mana wang disimpan, keuntungan Petronas sahaja melebihi RM70 bilion setahun, malah royalti minyak Sabah mencecah RM1.2 bilion tetapi harga minyak tetap dinaikkan tanpa ada belas kasihan kepada rakyat bawahan. Minyak banyak tapi harga naik.

“Adalah mustahil Umno-BN mengatakan tidak ada peruntukan untuk membantu rakyat miskin sampai jeti dan jambatan roboh di Batu Sapi. Kita berjanji sekiranya kita tubuh kerajaan di Putrajaya kita merubah semuanua ini dalam tempoh dua tahun,” tegas Anwar di hadapan lebih 1,000 penduduk Kampung Bahagia yang merupakan kubu kuat BN.

Atas dasar ini Anwar berkata beliau terus melawan Umno-BN yang mengabaikan derita rakyat serta mengkayakan kroni dan kaum kerabat mereka.

Beliau memberitahu hadirin jentera umno sedang membuat lawatan sambil mengedarkan ‘hadiah’ menjelang pembuangan pada 4 November.

“Itulah Umno, dia datang terhegeh-hegeh beri hadiah dan duit, kemudian minta mengundi kita mereka. Apa dia ingat kita kuli, hamba dia? Kita rakyat merdeka.

“Bila mereka (umno) datang beri beras, ambil! Dia beri zink satu, minta sepuluh! Dia bagi wang, ambil! Bila masa mengundi nanti, ingat, pangkah KEADILAN!” kata beliau diikuti sorakan hangat dari penduduk.

Menegaskan pendirian beliau, Anwar berkata Umno-BN melalui jentera kerajaan telah mencuba sedaya-upaya untuk menghalang perjuangan beliau.

“Umno-BN takut dengan saya kerana perjuangan saya membela rakyat. Dia mahu tangkap, biar dia tangkap. Dia pukul, memang dia pukul saya. Dia telanjang, biar! Dia penjarakan saya, tak apa tetapi bila saya keluar penjara, lawan tetap lawan!” tegas beliau diikuti sorakan meriah.

Ceramah Anwar diteruskan dengan lawatan ke Kampung Bokara dengan sambutan kira-kira 200 penduduk menunggu di sebuah rumah penduduk tempatan.

“Jika kita berjaya menang Putrajaya, insya Allah dalam masa dua tahun kita akan rubah Sabah,” tegas beliau lagi.

Belanja Tanpa Kelulusan Bukti UMNO BN Khianat Amanah Rakyat

Oleh Mohd Rahidi Hassan

SELURUH pemimpin Umno-Barisan Nasional yang dipimpin Perdana Menteri, Dato’ Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak sepatutnya bersedia berundur dari tampuk kuasa dengan seberapa segera.

Sudah terbukti mereka tidak mampu memerintah dan menguruskan hasil mahsul negara dengan baik.

Dalam Laporan Audit 2009 yang dibentangkan kepada Jawatankuasa Kira-kira Awam Negara (PAC) di Parlimen, Ketua Audit Negara, Tan Sri Ambrin Buang mencatatkan bahawa, Kerajaan Persekutuan telah terlebih belanja RM4.83 bilion tahun lalu.

Ini merupakan defisit kedua tertinggi selepas tersasar bajet operasi RM5.7 bilion pada tahun sebelum itu.

“Ini menunjukkan masih terdapat kelemahan dan perancangan kewangan dan pengurusan,” Laporan Ketua Audit dipetik.

Lebih tegas Ambrin menegur Kerajaan Umno-BN, dengan memberi penekanan bahawa bahawa perbelanjaan sepatutnya hanya dilakukan selepas mendapat kelulusan.

When Malay Leaders Fail….

By Hussein abdul Hamid

These Malays who are the leaders in UMNO….they were once decent people. There were once Malays who had the well-being and welfare of other Malays in their hearts. They wanted the Malays to succeed in education, in business and they wanted the Malays to be able to stand with pride amongst the other races in Malaysia. They started their life in politics with these thoughts.

It changed when Mahathir took his place as Prime Minister. This was no ordinary man. He had intellect. He had intelligence. He worked hard and he knew exactly what he wanted and how to go about getting it. He was a man who had the power to do much. If only he had used his power for good rather then for evil.

As he was talking about racial harmony he understood the need of the racial divide to keep the people off balance and he used the racial divide to weave his politics of divide and rule. As he consolidated his hold on his cabinet he understood the need to have Minister who were corrupt, weak of the flesh and susceptible to the lure of money and every other imaginable persuasion so that he could use these weaknesses to exert control over them. Truly Mahathir is a disciple of Machiavelli – adept in using cunning and deceitful tactics in politics!

What happened with Pak Lah totally defined Mahathir. Nothing matters except what Mahathir wants. Not what UMNO, Barisan Nasional, the people or what the country wants. He will have his way no matter what. God did not give him the grace to understand that others are different in thoughts and deeds to him. In the end that will be the epitaph of this man.

And now to where we are at now. Does Najib ever stop to look at the people in the country that he is Prime Minister of as individuals? Does this Din who is so fond of issuing threats and ultimatums from his Ministry of Home Affairs ever stop to think that these people that he issues those threats and ultimatums are made up of individuals – Malay, Chinese, Indians, Sikhs, Ibans, young and old, men and women…that each and every one of these individuals are able to think for themselves and decide what they want to do with their life and their votes? Or are all these leaders on an ego trip?

“Ego: The fallacy whereby a goose thinks he’s a swan”

For me the spectacle of Najib trying to impose some semblance of dignity and authority to the position of Prime Minister of our country is sad because:

“The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply” Kahlil Gibran.

Najib you cannot build a house on sand. It is futile for you to expect the people of this country to allow you to govern them until you have earned that right.

For one you were not chosen to be Prime Minister of this country by the people – Pak Lah did! So you came into office with blood on your hands–Pak Lah’s blood. It was a well-organized assassination. UMNO at its best. Not only were Mahathir and you able to turn UMNO against their own President but also you even managed to get the people of Malaysia to come along for the ride.

At that point of time Najib presented a clear break from the excesses of Pak Lah and the ‘excesses’ we most disliked was the power (real or imagined) then being wielded by Khairy Jamaluddin. We would even have accepted Mahathir back as Prime Minister if it meant we could rid ourself of that young upstart call KJ!

So that alone meant that Najib came in as Prime Minister on a high. But wither goes Najib after that? The growing unpopularity of a once much loved and popular Prime Minister affectionately called Pak Lah had propelled Najib, albeit with much help from Mahathir, into a post he badly needed to ensure his political survival even as another potentially deadly threat looms -ALTANTUYA!

In my humble opinion where Najib erred was in his handling of the Altantuya situation. His early appointment as Prime Minister was not, as he thought, the solution to this problem. It merely gave him time to regroup. He should have used his entry into office to sit down quietly and figure out what he could do to diffuse the Altantuya problem – not use the Prime Minister’s office as a refuge from it.

Yes there were questions about his past judgement in his days as MB of Pahang and in Federal Politics that could embarrass him on a personal and political level but who in UMNO did not have skeletons in the closet? There were worries about the propensity of Rosmah to act more ‘Presidential’ then Najib but even this, with common sense, could be managed.

In other things political Najib had vision but lack substance. He was unable to maintain the mood of the people. When Pak Lah took over from Mahathir there was much hope for change for the better and this was reflected in the results of the emphatic 2004 election victory that the people gave to Pak Lah.

But this mood changed quickly when promises are not followed by action especially in today’s over wired news availability through the Net. As impressive as Pak Lahs “Work with me not for me” utterances were…cakap bukan serupa bikin…and his inability to rein in KJ costs him the Prime Minister’s job.

But Najib was unable to build on this. What he has done quite well without help from any quarters is to dig a hole too deep for him to climb out of – and there is nobody around willing to give him a helping hand to escape oblivion. Ahhhh the arrogance of power overcomes all of us…not just the strong and powerful, not just the little Napoleons…but also even those Mata Mata in uniforms on their money seeking beats around the streets of our towns and cities! They fail to understand that Malaysia belongs to many who are already dead, the few that are now living and the countless numbers that are still unborn!

For over fifty years you leaders in UMNO have been beating this country of ours to near death. It would do you all good if you stop to understand that we are all individuals amongst the faceless masses that you see. Go listen to what they have to say. Go understand what they aspire to. Or, better yet, understand that like you, they simply want the right to earn a decent living, a roof over their heads and the freedom to live their live to the best of their ability in peace.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. ~Chief Seattle, 1855

If you understand this, then maybe you will understand the need to have compassion, decency and aspire to do well to others in your time as Prime Minister…in your time in life. ….but maybe…just maybe…it might be too much to ask of you and of those in Barisan Nasional.

Malaysia’s Appeals Court Refuses to Throw Out Sodomy Charge Against Opposition Leader Anwar

From Canadian Press

Malaysia’s Appeals Court rejected Monday a bid by opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim to have a sodomy charge against him dropped, amid allegations of an affair between a government prosecution lawyer and the key witness.

Anwar faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of sodomizing Saiful Bukhari Azlan. Anwar insists the government concocted the charge in 2008 to sideline him after his opposition alliance made unprecedented electoral gains. Government authorities deny conspiring against Anwar.

Anwar has insisted the sodomy charge be dropped after allegations surfaced that a young female prosecution attorney involved in the trial had an affair with Anwar’s accuser, the 25-year-old male former aide Saiful.

Neither the female attorney, nor Saiful responded to the affair allegations.
Anwar’s defence team has argued that attorney Farah Azlina Latif might have leaked confidential information to Saiful, tainting the case against Anwar. The prosecution has dropped Farah Azlina from its team, and said she was a junior member who played a minor role in the case.

The High Court last month ruled the alleged affair may be true because the prosecution did not directly confirm or deny the accusation, but it said it didn’t compromise the prosecution’s integrity.

The Appeals Court upheld that ruling Monday, said defence lawyer Sankara Nair.

“Justice was not served … the right to be heard was not there. It was an absurd judgment,” Anwar said.

The defence team will now take its argument to the country’s top court, the Federal Court, Nair said. That move will further delay Anwar’s sodomy trial, which has been deferred since Aug. 16.

It is the second time Anwar has been accused of sodomy, a crime in this Muslim-majority country. He was imprisoned for six years starting in 1998 for sodomy and corruption. The sodomy conviction was later overturned.

Kroni Perlu Dikorban, Jika Mahu Pulih Ekonomi

Dari tv Selangor

Keghairahan Umno-BN menghabiskan wang rakyat pada kempen berslogan dan projek tidak bermanfaat, dan meminggirkan soal melaksanakan dasar-dasar yang efektif punca Malaysia corot dalam indeks daya saing dan rasuah.

Tahun demi tahun, Malaysia gagal mendapat tempat di kumpulan teratas indeks antarabangsa. Yang terbaru, Forum Ekonomi Dunia melaporkan Malaysia terus jatuh dari tahun ke tahun, dari tempat ke 21 ke 26, dalam Indeks Daya Saing sedunia.

Ketua Pembangkang Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim berkata Umno-BN perlu mengorbankan kroni-kroni bagi memulihkan imej dan ekonomi negara di persada antarabangsa.

Beliau menggesa Kerajaan Pusat supaya meneliti saranan Forum Ekonomi Dunia yang menggesa Malaysia mengambil langkah drastik untuk memulihkan kebebasan badan kehakiman dan institusi awam bagi menghentikan kecorotan prestasi negara dari tahun ke tahun.

Anwar menjelaskan ekonomi Malaysia akan terus tempang, dan rakyat akan terus tertekan, jika Perdana Menteri Najib Abdul Razak terus melindungi kroni-kroni Umno-BN yang selama ini mendorong pemerintah untuk mencabul sistem politik, ekonomi dan undang-undang.

Sistem kehakiman yang benar-benar bebas dan tidak memihak kepada kekuasaan adalah ciri-ciri utama yang meletakkan negara seperti Switzerland mengungguli carta 10 ekonomi terbaik di dunia.

Najib digesa merenung keresahan rakyat dan pelabur apabila rasuah dan penyelewengan kuasa semakin membudaya lalu membawa kerosakan yang bukan kepalang.

“Perdana Menteri silih berganti, janji demi janji tapi tidak diperkota. Lihat sahaja isu pembubaran dan pembatalan ISA sampai sekarang tidak terjadi, rasuah masih lagi meluas, digunakan penswastaan 1 Malaysia termasuk kes Sungai Besi diberikan kepada kroni yang melibatkan projek berbilion ringgit yang tidak diberikan secara telus” jelas Anwar

Laporan Daya Saing 2010-2011 Forum Ekonomi Dunia yang dikeluarkan baru-baru ini membuktikan gagasan Dato Seri Najib dalam membangunkan Negara tidak membuahkan hasil malah membebankan rakyat.

Beliau berkata, kerajaan persekutuan hanya mengejar slogan dan pencapaian astetik 1 Malaysia, tanpa perlaksanaan dasar-dasar wajar.

Berhadapan dengan kedudukan ekonomi sebegini, ternyata generasi akan datang terpaksa jua menanggung permasalahan yang diakibatkan oleh ketirisan seperti rasuah, kelemahan pengurusan serta tamak membolot khazanah negara.

“Bila ditanya, mereka kaitkan pula dengan soal Melayu dan Bumiputera. Melayu mana dan Bumiputera mana yang dapat keuntungan? Hanya Melayu keluarga dan Bumiputera kroni. Kita pertahan majoriti yang miskin dan kelompok india, Cina, Kadazan, iban dan Dayak yang terpinggir. Ini mesti juga diberi perhatian. Ini negera kita dan kita berhak pertahankan hak kita,” tambah Anwar
