KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 — Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin and PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah were among Malaysian newcomers listed in “The 500 Most Influential Muslims in the World”, while PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat dropped out of the Top 50.

The Kelantan mentri besar since 1990, Nik Aziz was listed as the 42nd most influential in 2009. No Malaysian made it to the top 50 list this year.

The other newcomers from Malaysia are Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Dr Mashitah Ibrahim, the country’s first astronaut Datuk Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, and Professor Dr Muhammad Afifi al-Akiti.

Muhammad Afifi was one of the first Malaysians to be appointed to the Oxford University’s Theology Faculty after the 2005 London bombings.

The book also included the views of Mashitah, who is also a motivational expert on contemporary Islamic issues.

She entered the political scene six years ago by contesting the 2004 general election on Umno’s ticket.

Other Malaysian leaders who stayed on the list are Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim; Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak; SIS founder Zainah Anwar; vice president of the Penang consumer association Mohideen Abdul Kader; Raihan group members, Che Amran Idris, Abu Bakar Md Yatim, Amran Ibrahim and Zulfadli Mustaza; and world-renowned expert and writer in Islamic studies and modern law comparison, Professor Dr Mohammad Hashim Kamali.

Notable absentees from this year’s list were former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, activist and leader of Sisters In Islam (SIS) Sharifah Zuriah Aljefferi, and also academic expert Professor Emeritus Datuk Dr Osman Bakar.

“The 500 Most Influential Muslims in the World” was first published last year by The Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre.

Muslim personalities worldwide who make the list are considered influential and to have contributed to mankind.

The ranking covers 15 different categories including scholars, politicians, intellectuals, women, youth, scientists, personnel in the medical, technology and the media fields.

The top 10 in the list this time includes Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah Abdul Aziz Al Saud; Iranian leader Syed Ali Khamenei; Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyib Erdogan; chief Imam of Al-Azhar and University Al-Azhar leader Dr Sheikh Ahmad Muhammad Al Tayeb; Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono; chief of the international Muslim scholars Yusuf Al-Qaeadawi; social activist Amr Khaled; Brunei’s Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah; leader of Ikhwanul Muslimim Mesir Syeikh Mohammad Mahdi Akef; and Hamas leader Khaleed Mishal.

ZAID WE VOTERS WANT to KNOW, are you aware of the extent of the damage he has caused?

• UNCATEGORIZED

ZAID Ibrahim is bad news. He has proven he is not a party man and, worse, not a team player. Now hes thinking of forming his own party a move that could hurt the Opposition.That hes not a team player is borne out by his recent behaviour. If you join a political party, you dont go around criticising it left, right and centre in public. That hurts the partys image. And no matter how big your grouses are about the party for whatever reasons, you bring them up through the proper channels within the party, not by going to the media. If the party ignores you, then you resign honourably. After that, you can choose to keep your mouth shut or spill the beans about the party.
Zaid has been in politics a long time more than 20 years in Umno and hes even been a minister before; he should have known that very well. But hurting the partys image is exactly what he has been doing, especially since the PKR party elections started.
This has made him come across as someone who throws tantrums. Not only that; he told his rival for the PKR deputy presidency, Azmin Ali, to step down from the leadership. Then he went even further and asked the partys supremo, Anwar Ibrahim, to do the same.
He said both of them were the source of the partys problems and that they should stand aside so that the party could progress. He even offered himself as the alternative leader. This was prima donna behaviour. Some might even say, it was egotism personified.
What did he achieve by doing all these opprobrious things? He had Barisan Nasional leaders and members laughing their hearts out at the farce and feeling ecstatic that PKR was breaking apart without BN having to do a single thing against it. They are still! revelli ng in the spectacle of the Opposition being served up to the people looking misshapen and in tatters, complete with warts and bruises.
More than ever, and especially in the wake of the two BN victories in the Batu Sapi and Galas by-elections, BN has come to feel confident that the next general election would probably be a breeze for them.
Is Zaid aware of the extent of the damage he has caused? Will he take partial responsibility at least for PKRs and, by extension, Pakatan Rakyats drop in image and standing? Is he even aware that he has done much damage and is continuing to do it, or is his spoilt-child ego preventing him from seeing this fact?
From his interviews in the New Sunday Times and Mingguan Malaysia both published on Nov 14, it would seem the answer is no. And perhaps its because he doesnt care because he now says he may set up his own party.
He concedes on one hand that it may be just a small party, but on the other hand, he hopes that the party will encourage BN and PR to reform and transform. How could a small party perform such a major task?
He says he would be happy if his party won only one or two seats in Parliament. With that low a representation, how effective can it be? It would more likely be snuffed out by the giant coalitions. Even his declaration of wanting to be seen as a reformist who tried to help bring maturity to the process of democracy in this country is, in light of his recent antics, ironic.
Obviously, all of that has to do with Zaid Ibrahim the person. Including what he has just expressed in his interview with the New Sunday Times that he would like to return to Parliament in 2012. But Malaysian politics is not all about Zaid Ibrahim, and this he has disappointingly failed to see. Given his intellectual capacity, one would have thought he was sharper than that.
Only ! a month and a half ago, when he gave a dinner-lecture organised by Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia (SABM), he said the next general election would be very tough, and one of the reasons for it was that the incumbent government coalition would not give up its power without doing whatever it would take to retain it. He said in view of that, not only the Opposition but the awakened public as well should be vigilant.
He said the Opposition would have to be united and work many times harder because the next general election would be many times harder to win than in 2008.
He suggested to Haris Ibrahim, prime mover of a third force comprising hand-picked individuals of impeccable integrity to contest in the next general election, to instead offer the third-force candidates to PR instead of standing on their own. From standing with PR, said Zaid, they could achieve the goal of bringing about reform more effectively.
This is a tune quite different from the one Zaid is singing now. In fact, if he were to set up his own party, he would force three-cornered fights in constituencies where his party also chooses to stand, and this could draw votes away from the Opposition. As a result, it could help BN win those constituencies.
If BN wins big at the next general election, Zaid knows the process of reform could be further delayed. But instead of helping the Opposition cause, his setting up of a new party would subvert it. And it would contradict all that he said at the SABM dinner-lecture.
So which is the real Zaid? Which of the things he had been saying since he joined the Opposition until just before the PKR elections represent his true beliefs? How much credence do we give him now?
Is he truly the man of principle and idealism he prides himself to be? ManyMalaysians really wanted to believe he was. Some still do. But the way he is going, is he ins! tead jus t another politician like so many of them, and perhaps not even a mature one?
On Nov 9, when he called on Anwar to step down as leader of PKR and offered himself as successor, he said, Ill be a good leader. Coming from someone who sounded like a loser even before the PKR elections started, one finds that hard to imagine.

Let`s hand it to Amma she is nothing if not a force of nature. J Jayalalithaa, with her calm, Buddha-like expression and slow, measured speech, is a phenomenon in the murky world of desi politics. Andtrumpets! Bugles! The Caped Wonder from Tamil Nadu is back in the game once more. With her entree, the stakes have suddenly gotten sexier. Written off, diminished and lying low for a while, she made a dramatic reappearance in the political arena by offering an exclusive interview to Arnab Goswami on Times Now. If her calibrated quotes were designed to cause major ripples in Delhi, they scored big, with partners in the UPA`s assorted breadbasket scrambling for cover. Ostensibly, Amma was after scam meister 2G Raja`s head. But was that her main and only objective? Analysts think not.

The 2G scam has been around for a while. Amma had refused to get drawn into it at that stage. Raja brazened it out and laughed all the way to various banks, even as his critics thought the nation had been diddled out of close to two lakh crore rupees.

It is a number most people would find next to impossible to fathom. How much those 122 licences issued during the auction could have fetched, or should have fetched, remains in the domain of conjecture. By demanding his sacking at this critical point (when the Congress party is sweeping its stables clean of notably corrupt netas), Amma caused a mini quake. Her seren! e and co ntrolled demeanour as she outlined her plan to save the UPA and India from a possible mid-term poll, was perhaps this ex-actor`s most convincing performance to date. Not a muscle moved on her face as she went through her game plan without emotion, listing out her reasons for going public with her outrage.

She spoke impassively while expertly crunching numbers and assuring everybody she could produce the 18 MPs needed to fill the gap if the DMK withdrew support to the UPA. She refused to reveal the identity of the `friendly parties` on stand-by, but it was abundantly clear Amma was on a roll! And there are very few politicians left who can match Jayalalithaa in full flow. She speaks eloquently and with complete authority that does not tolerate a single interruption (for once, the garrulous Goswami was rendered speechless).

She refused to be cornered on any issue, including the prickly one involving her far from cordial relationship with Sonia Gandhi (Amma`s response was mild and philosophical). Jayalalithaa stayed resolutely focused on corruption mega corruption and didn`t shy away from naming names (Ashok Chavan, Suresh Kalmadi). The message got through when Amma means business, watch out!

What was remarkable about Jayalalithaa`s scintillating interview (monologue is more like it) was the politically incorrect content she opted for. Blunt. To the point. Refreshingly outspoken, she delivered punches that were perfectly on target. Her bombshells had very little to do with Raja per se. This was Amma telling her admirers and opponents she`s done with sulking in the shadows and licking her wounds. She`s done with being pushed around and marginalized in her own state. And most importantly, she`s done with being petulant vis a vis the Madam in Delhi. Jayalalithaa is ready to rock!

And people who know the lady insist she is one tough custom! er. Know n to be ruthless and unsentimental when it comes to decimating those who stand in her way (loyal friends included), this is Jayalalithaa`s moment to recover lost ground and reposition herself at the state and national level. She candidly admitted she`d taken a few hits in the past, but asserted she was ready to go into battle with renewed ferocity. She spoke about `weak leadership` (Oh Manmohanji!), and our soft stand while dealing with Pakistan and China (hear! hear!). She also mentioned her desire to pump up defence budgets since our army was nowhere close to China`s in terms of strength and sophistication (too true). When was the last time we heard a politician state something as explosive on a national channel?

Jayalalithaa`s decision to go public with her politics is a staggeringly bold one. In a single shot, she conveyed several messages that will be hard for the Centre to ignore. She also issued veiled threats in the bargain suggesting the rise of people power that could trigger off an unstoppable protest movement. Amma grandly offered to lead it if Raja`s head was not delivered on a platter soon.

While DMK bosses go into a huddle, and others wait and watch, Amma has already achieved her objective. I am back! is Jayalalithaa`s war cry. Weak-hearted ninnies are busy ducking and looking for places to hide. Oh, about Raja and the multi-zulti crore scam all lines are busy on this route. Aap qatar main ho.

Netto on Zaids I Quit Decision

November 15, 2010

Terence Nettos Reaction to News of Zaid Ibrahims I Quit Decision

Apparently, Zaid Ibrahim is not convinced that difficult problems and decisions actually improve when they are allowed to simmer a little on a backburner.

Today comes news he has quit PKR, barely a year and a half after joining the party in what has become one of Malaysian politics more stormy individual odysseys.

Wealthy lawyer Zaid, on the threshold of his seventh decade in life, moves from impulse to execution in a breathless blur. The rich are different from you and me, observed the novelist F Scott Fitzgerald to his friend Ernest Hemingway. Yes, they have more money, quipped Hemingway, in apparent deprecation of Fitzgeralds suggestion that destructive neurosis is one of the commonest symptoms of wealth.

Only yesterday stormy petrel Zaid was seen publicly to muse on his predicament as an outcast in PKR and as unwanted in the larger Pakatan family.

Barely had his reflections if the word can at all be used to dignify his ramblings time to sink than Zaids off on his next breathless course: he announces he has quit PKR.

Not that that was unexpected. Zaid Ibrahim is like cargo come loose in the hold of a freighter: it has to be stacked right or jettisoned. Now that he has himself chosen to eject, PKR ought to compose a felt statement of gratitude for what he has done in drawing up last Decembers Common Police Framework for Pakatan Rakyat.

That done, its best to maintain a politic and dignified silence.

Time to check the fallout

After the pathological display of exhibitionism that was Zaids final weeks in PKR, the party, in reaction, should decline to parody the rhythms of reality TV. Instead i! t shoul d move with all deliberate speed to check the fallout from Zaids quitting and what it presages for a new party on an increasingly crowded opposition block.

That may entail doing the diametric opposite of what the partys now presumptive No 2s inclinations are for PKR Sarawak and Sabah. Those inclinations have neurosis written on them as much as the narcissism of the individual who has elected to depart the party.

A former leader of Malaysia's opposition Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) has accused the party of inflating membership figures to demand "political equity" in the opposition Pakatan Rakyat coalition.Former Selangor PKR secretary Mohd Nazmi Rosli said that having a large pool of members was vital in the seat negotiation process with its allies, the Democratic Action Party (DAP) and Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS)."If PKR's membership is lower than that of those parties, it cannot demand for many seats," he said, alleging that tell-tales signs emerging from the poor voter turnout during the divisional polls showed that the party does not have the 400,000 members that it claims to have.For example, he said, the Sungai Petani PKR division had boasted 3,222 members but only 202 participated in the polls."Likewise, the voter turnout in many of the divisions was barely 5% of the number of members the divisions claim to have," said Mohd Nazmi, adding that the size of the membership was vital in the negotiations for seats.He also claimed that PKR depended on the PAS machinery in the general and by-elections."This is also another sign that PKR does not really have the numbers," he said, adding that the party would find it difficult to win seats without the help of PAS.Despite that, he said, PKR still acted like it was the "boss" in the opposition coalition.In the 12th general election, PKR won 31 parliamentary seats, followed by DAP (28) and PAS (23).PKR won 42 state seats, in contrast with the 83 won by PAS and 71 by the DAP.Rul! ing Bari san Nasional coalition won 140 out of the 222 parliamentary seats and 307 out of the 505 state seats contested.

FEW could have anticipated the return of Datuk! Seri An war Ibrahim in such striking fashion prior to the March 8 elections. Released from incarceration in 2004, he continued to be a voice of conscience, rebel-reformer and thorn in the side of Barisan Nasional. Yet, he remained on the margins of mainstream politics.

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
That changed after the events of March 8 and a convincing victory in the Permatang Pauh by-election in August which led to his ceremonious return to parliament as leader of the opposition, transforming him into an indelible force in the unfolding of the political future of the country.

Detractors continue to point to Anwars failure to take over and form the next government on Sept 16 as an example of his lack of credibility; still, while much needs to be achieved to make the opposition a viable and lasting powerhouse, most of the five states governed by Pakatan Rakyat have proved largely stable, grappling reasonably well with the legacy of the previous state governments while attempting to implement and lay the foundation for the coalitions policies in these respective states. Two examples from Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim are his appointment of Low Siew Moi to head the Selangor State Development Corporation and his call for Universiti Teknologi Mara to open its doors, at least partially, to non-bumiputra and foreign students.

2009 will prove challenging for Anwar and Pakatan Rakyat. With the advent of a new prime minister which has historically led to a favourable shift in political sentiment towards the government they will have to consolidate their positions significantly in the Pakatan-led states and the Federal Territory by demonstrating powers of performance that will illustrate their commitment to the principles of accountability, transparency and openness.

The worldwide economic fallout will dominat! e and se rve as a test for the BN government in its handling of the ramifications of the downturn and the sacrifices it is willing to make. It is an opportune time for Anwar and the Pakatan government to come up with comprehensive alternative policies as a way to introduce and fortify the virtues of the Pakatan-devised New Economic Agenda. The PR opposition has already made significant strides by introducing a shadow cabinet and it remains to be seen how it can offer rational, deliberated alternatives to government policies.

The principal challenge confronting Anwar and the PR opposition will be their efforts at initiating real, credible moves towards transcending racialist politics and committing themselves to multi-cultural politics, as emphasised by Anwar and Parti Keadilan Rakyat president Datin Seri Wan Azizah Ismail at the partys recent national congress. They will have their work cut out to dismantle the racial conditioning that has determined the Malaysian political psyche since Independence and most significantly in the past three decades. The most immediate challenge is the Malay constituency, although the Pakatan Rakyat government has stressed that privileges enshrined in the Constitution will not be compromised.

Remember Anwar brought hope for a better M'sia

LETTERg

Who wants to be free? Who wants to be rid of the lies, deceit and oppression of the Barisan Nasional government? Well, certainly not those who dance to the tune of Zaid Ibrahim, former Umno man and ex-leader of the reactionary Muslim Lawyers Association.

At a time when a small and beleaguer opposition and civil society stood valiantly against a despotic government, the Muslim Lawyers Association was busy doing hatchet work for the tyrant Mahathir Mohamad.

Zaid even made the toxic suggestion that the law minister should be appointed president of the Bar Council. Such is the outstanding pedigree of this newly minted champion of reform and good government.

The light dawned for him only after the 2008 election, when he suddenly developed an aversion for the much weakened BN, which was still reeling from the election blow. Now he has embarked on an ambitious enterprise to prematurely end Anwar Ibrahim's long and astonishing political career; a career with which our country's destiny is inextricably tied up.

I do not come to praise Anwar Ibrahim. I only say that after over 50 years of near hopelessness, the 2008 election success of Anwar's opposition coalition let in the first real hope that we would become a nation of free peoples.

If ever a man matched the moment brilliantly, it was Anwar in the run-up to the 2008 general election. He was masterly and inspiring, and he changed the country. Years earlier with his cry for reformasi, he helped create the conditions which would eventually lead to the March 8 tsunami.

His battle for reform from prison (and for his personal freedom) transformed civil society and energised the political opposition. Dissent against the State became widespread and dissenters bolder than ever before. And crucially, his battle cry caught the imagination of the young. Suffering but defiant, he emerged from six years of incarceration with the increased stature that he would need to mould the nation anew.

Now a dangerous and irresponsible game seems afoot to undermine Anwar and retard our country's great journey to freedom. It is an outrageous alliance of fiendish plotters and petty intriguers who are responsible for this enormous disservice to all Malaysians. They madly exaggerate every trifle and speak sanctimoniously about nothing in an endless series of media conferences.

If we are to become a mature democracy and dismantle the lawless apparatus of the BN government, we must take this journey with Anwar and Pakatan Rakyat. Political freedom will bring with it a fairer, and with time richer, and more efficient country.

The wastage of cronyism, corruption and lack of competitiveness will be ended. I do not say that all this is a certainty, but that Anwar and Pakatan Rakyat are the last best hope. As for the small-minded cavillers abusing Anwar and compromising PKR and Pakatan, I predict they will amount to nothing.

Our Great Escape from Military Dictatorship

by Terence Netto @www.malaysiakini.com (November 14)

The release yesterday of Aung San Suu Kyi by the Burmese junta and the jubilation her freedom must have brought to millions of her supporters in that unfortunate country prompts thoughts on the what-might-have-been in our country in May 1969.

This was when, in the immediate aftermath of the riots of May 13 that year, a shell-shocked Tunku Abdul Rahman was propositioned by top military officers: they said they would run Malaysia, put things in order, and then return the country to civilian rule.

Distraught over the bloodshed, mainly in Kuala Lumpur, and sporadic other parts of the country, the Tunku, who once boasted that he was the happiest prime minister in the world, sought opinions from a circle of advisers close to him.

One voice that of newly reappointed Home Affairs Minister Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman was unequivocally clear: he told the Tunku any cession of power to the military would be a one-way street. Dont hope to get the blessed thing (democracy) back again, cautioned Ismail.

The Tunku, no great devotee of democracy (under him in 1960, the dreaded Internal Security Act was promulgated) but a democrat nevertheless, quickly forgot that the military had approached him to offer help to restore normalcy.

History is more apt to highlight what its luminaries did than what they advised against doing. Activism trumps passivity in the historical imagination.

On the road to Mandalay

It would be interesting to know who among the circle close to General Ne Win, the strongman who led the coup in 1962 that placed Burma under rule by a! junta t hat lasts till today, might have voiced doubts about the move to launch a coup.

It is certain the secretive Ne Win would have consulted, though the circle of the consulted would have been small.

But as a rule, the officer corps is inured to conformity than to dissent. Once the numero uno makes a decision, all hands must be on deck. That is why the wisdom of democracy holds that the military must always defer to the civilian leadership.

Burmas military junta, by releasing Suu Kyi, has sent a grey shaft of light skittering across the subjugated mass of that country.

Whether that shaft would become like the dawn that comes up like thunder to borrow from one of Rudyard Kiplings more resonant poems (On the Road to Mandalay), is something we in Malaysia would wish for even as we applaud our narrow escape from military rule and salute the memory of the man who forestalled it.

Selangor water: Where do I sign, MB Khalid.(Part II)

My last two write up on the water issue (Write up No1, Write up No 2) invited some comments from my regular readers. Unfortunately, the activity is limited to a few people and I suspect the poor interest in commenting because the subject matter is not juicy enough and probably very academic in nature. However difficult it is, I believe the people of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur must analyze the issues surrounding the water deal carefully and makes a clear stand. It is no good making a stand based on party politics and not understanding the issues surrounding it especially when it has a direct bearing on us, Selangorians and Selangor immigrants.

My perspective of the water services is that it should be run efficiently within an optimal operating cost environment. It is not a trade-able commodity as it is a GOD given essence of life. It should not be use as a means to enrich a few people at the expense of millions of others. As the population increase water need to be distributed more efficiently and in a more equitable manner but it must be done within reach of significant majority of people.

From my understanding and analysis that has been the objective of the present Selangor Government. It agrees to transfer its water asset to PAAB, a newly setup government GLC which will then lease back the hard assets to Selangor. Selangor government wants to operate and manage the water business on its own because it believe it can do a better job in managing non revenue water and managing water treatment cost better. Currently Puncak Niaga expenses are top heavy despite that is making decent profit. It is a norm that after tax profit is usually not the true profit of a company as the true profit is much higher because or creative accounting.

The SSG has been engaging the water authorities. They have been asking them to exit the water business on a commercial basis. Unfortunately despite t! he initi al hiccups in coming up with an offer, an initial offer of RM5.7 bill was circumvented by the Federal Government within 48 hours before the 4 water operators decide on the offer by the state (Feb 18, 2009). The FG indicated that they will negotiate directly with these 4 operators directly.

This means that State Government is now competing with the Federal Government to buy out these 4 water operators. This does not augur well for the people. Why would the FG compete with the State Government? This would push the price of the takeover to be higher. Could it be that the FG wants to protect certain party interest in the matter? Fact remains from Feb 18, 2009 till now the FG has yet to make an offer.

In view of the complex negotiations and the disagreement on increasing the water rates by 37%, Puncak Niaga has failed to service its dues to the various water producers in the state. Their bond term is in default and the bonds security rating has been downgraded. There is a very strong indication that the FG is planning to bail out the bond holders by swapping existing bonds with triple-A government-backed bonds. The FG actions defy logic? Whose interest is the FG looking after?

Is it protecting the interest of the bond subscribers which are CIMB Holding Group, Hong Leong Bank and Great Eastern Life? Looking at the news it seems the bond holders are asking the government
to intervene? It is not clear how much the above company shares in the bonds that involves Syabas, RUN Holding SPV Bhd, PNHB, SPLASH, Viable Chip (M) Sdn Bhd and Titisan Modal (M) Sdn Bhd. Most of this companies are inter related and strong rumors are spreading that CIMB is one of the largest subscriber to these bonds.

The bondholders can halt the sliding of their bond rating and value by using their powers in taking over the companies and manage the problem by dis! cussing the issues directly with SSG. If the FG intervened, it can be read as political powers is helping the cronies and not the people of Selangor and this would be the second time the government is doing so.

The main issue today is the actual value of Selangor water asset. PAAB says it is worth RM 1 billion which in my mind is illogical considering the extensive network of pipes and other water related facility in the state. Audited figures confirm that the actual number of assets in Selangor to be the highest in Malaysia. Clearly, either PAAB is intentionally undervaluing the assets or SSG is inflating. Depending on who is talking, the answer is obvious. I believe the way out is to get a proper value of the asset and like Tan Sri Khalid says, arbitration is probably a way out. He is also right that it is best that a neutral foreign arbitrator should look at it.

The way I see it, the ball is in FG court. Only someone that is confident about his own position will call for an arbitration and if the opposing party disagree than it reflects badly on that party. Right now the people in Selangor must decide based on facts and not based on emotions. To understand the SSG position on the matter visit www.airuntukrakyat.net and to appreciate the Federal Government position visit www.paab.my. After reading and you feel that you wished to send an e-petition to the DYMM Agong, you can visit the site at HERE. Dont forget that you need to click the confirmation email that the system sends to you; otherwise your petition will not be registered.

Azmin all set to be the deputy, Nurul leading the veep race

By Syed Jaymal Zahiid

PETALING JAYA: With Zaid Ibrahim out of a picture, PKR might as well acknowledgement Azmin Ali as a brand new deputy president.

Based upon official total expelled by a celebration today, his usually contender, vice-president Mustaffa Kamil Ayub, with usually 3,401 votes, is doubtful to catch up with a 14,751 votes Azmin has garnered so far after three weeks of voting.

This equates to Azmin, additionally a vice-president, has a 11,350-vote lead after 165 of a celebration groups finished polling, despite concerns which a low voter turnout via a routine have placed a legitimacy of PKR's approach elections debut under severe scrutiny.

The remaining 57 groups will opinion this weekend before PKR strictly announce a final formula during a party's November 26-28 congress.

'With or but Zaid, PKR will walk upon valiantly'

Azmin all set to be the deputy, Nurul leading the veep race

By Syed Jaymal Zahiid - Free Malaysia Today

PETALING JAYA: With Zaid Ibrahim out of the picture, PKR may as well declare Azmin Ali as the new deputy president.

Based on official figures released by the party today, his only contender, vice-president Mustaffa Kamil Ayub, with only 3,401 votes, is unlikely to catch up with the 14,751 votes Azmin has garnered so far after three weeks of voting.

This means Azmin, also a vice-president, has a 11,350-vote lead after 165 of the party divisions completed polling, albeit concerns that the low voter turnout throughout the process have placed the legitimacy of PKR's direct elections debut under severe scrutiny.

The remaining 57 divisions will vote this weekend before PKR officially announce the final results during the party's Nov 26-28 congress.

Meanwhile, daughter to PKR supremo, Anwar Ibrahim, Nurrul Izzah is poised to be the party's youngest vice-president, leading the race with 11,042 votes.

Second in the race is party chief strategist Chua Tian Chang or Tian Chua with 9,524 votes while he is trailed by party elections director Fuziah Salleh and Penang Deputy Chief Minister 1 Mansor Othman with 7,878 and 7,448 votes respectively.

Victory for Nurul Izzah and Tian Chua, observers say, would lessen Azmin's influence, although only slightly, given that most of his men are poised to dominate the party's top posts.

Close race for Youth chief

Leading the Wanita chief race is incumbent and a known Azmin backer Zuraida Kamaruddin with 4,510 votes while her contender, Suraya Sudin, is some 2,000 votes behind with 1,181 votes gathered so far.

The battle for the youth chief post is also said to be a proxy battle between Azmin and his former rival for the No 2 post Zaid, with Shamsul said to be in the former's camp while Badrul, affectionately known as Chegu Bard, a known supporter of the latter.

Allegations of malpractices and fraud have triggered Zaid's withdrawal from the deputy presidential race. The former law minister has also announced his decision to quit the party.

The prime minister, the private investigator, the murder of a Mongolian model, and 114 million euros

In one statement, one of the bodyguards said they were paid 100,000 Malaysian ringgits ($36,000) to commit the murder. In another statement, one said they blew up the body because Altantuya begged them not to kill her because she was pregnant. The idea was to make it impossible to identify the father.

By Jonathan Manthorpe, Vancouver Sun

The remaining loose ends are being tied off in the seemingly determined efforts to ensure Malaysia's prime minister, Najib Tun Razak, is not embroiled in the still unresolved murder by two of his bodyguards of a Mongolian model and translator.

Distancing the prime minister from the murder also creates some space between Najib and 114 million euros ($160 million) in "consulting fees" paid by the French warship manufacturer DCN for Malaysia's order of two Scorpene submarines when Najib was defence minister.

Malaysia's law minister, Nazri Aziz, has told parliament that authorities have closed the case against private investigator P. Balasubramaniam, the man who tied Najib to the 2006 murder of 27-year-old model Altantuya Shaariibuu.

Altantuya worked as translator for Najib and his close friend and adviser on defence matters, Abdul Razak Baginda, in the negotiations with the French.

Balasubramaniam has said she told him she was to be paid $500,000 for her part in the submarine deal.

Balasubramaniam was facing charges of making false statements after he made a statutory declaration in July, 2007, that Najib, then the deputy prime minister, was Altantuya's lover and involved in her murder.

The private detective said Najib had handed Altantuya on to become his friend Baginda's lover when the opportunity for Najib to become prime minister presented itself.

Two of Najib's bodyguards, Chief Insp. Azilah Hadri and Cpl. Sirul Azhar Umar, were convicted of Altantuya's murder in April last year.

But the day after Balasubramaniam filed the declaration, he made another one saying the first was written under duress.

He then left the country, but popped up in Britain last year to say the first statement implicating Najib was the correct one. When last heard of, Balasubramaniam was in India.

Law Minister Nazri said the case against the private eye was being dropped because "although there are contradictions between the two statutory declarations, the contradictions do not affect the outcome of the trial" of the bodyguards.

This leap of logic has left many Malaysians gasping.

Although they are well used to seeing their legal system tailored to political requirements, the events around the Altantuya case have stretched credibility beyond the bounds of reality.

Balasubramaniam entered the case in 2006 when he was hired by Baginda. Baginda had recently jilted Altantuya, but she refused to accept the end of the affair and wanted her share of the 114 million euros the French state-owned shipbuilder DCN had paid to a consulting company set up by Baginda.

Altantuya took to demonstrating loudly outside Baginda's house in Kuala Lumpur and he hired Balasubramaniam to keep her away from him.

But on the evening of Oct. 19, 2006, the two bodyguards bundled Altantuya into a car and drove her to the jungle outside Kuala Lumpur, where they shot her in the head and blew up her body with C-4 military explosives.

In one statement, one of the bodyguards said they were paid 100,000 Malaysian ringgits ($36,000) to commit the murder. In another statement, one said they blew up the body because Altantuya begged them not to kill her because she was pregnant. The idea was to make it impossible to identify the father.

With oversight that defies imagination, no one asked either of the bodyguards during the 159-day trial who had given them the money to kill her.

But very early in the proceedings, before any significant evidence had been heard, the judge saw fit to dismiss charges against Baginda, saying there was no case for him to answer.

Baginda promptly hightailed it to Britain, where he has remained since.

But there are still a couple of dangerous loose ends in the story over which the government of Prime Minister Najib does not have full control.

One is that the government of Mongolia has said it will fund a civil suit by Altantuya's family against the Malaysian government and Baginda.

The other is that French prosecutors continue to investigate the 114-million euros kickback given by DCN to secure the submarine sale to Malaysia.

Police Raja Di Malay-sia murder by shooting dead: But claim 16 year old and boy & 2 others seasonal criminals

To start off with a 16 year Mohd Shamil Hafiz Shafie, Mohd Khairul Nizam (20) and Mohd Hanafi Omar (22) boy cannot be seasonal criminal’s. Even if they were seasoned criminals why weren’t they arrested, prosecuted and when found guilty put in jail?
This is the due process of law and the rule of law.
But why this police murder and justify it by saying they are seasoned criminals? This new IGP Tan Sri Ismail Omar is just as cruel, lawless minded and abuses his powers like Tan Sri Musa Hassan. Tan Sri Gani Patail won’t prosecute the policefor murder and the Home Minister Hishamuddin Tun Hussien does not care.

Last Indian poor heritage Railway Village, Sentul, “ethnically cleansed" by UMNO. Why temporary solutions only for Indian poor by UMNO, PKR, DAP and P

YTL has agreed to sell the units at RM 45,000 each, which is the current market price for low cost flats in KL.

Over 200 families who have been living in Kampung Railway for over 50 years were asked to move out to make war for development.

But to the contrary the Malay muslim Kg. Baru villagers have each been offered RM 4 million as compensation, and a part of Kg Baru to be preserved as the only Malay muslim enclave in the heart of K.L city.

To add insult to injury UMNO Wilayah Minister gets his Indian Deputy Minister mandore to grant “temporary flats for Kg Railway residents (NST 15/11/10 at page S 3).

Why is it when it comes to the Indian poor it is almost always a temporary solution.

Beginning with Hindu temples and cemeteries, 523 Tamil schools and Indian villages, it is almost always a temporary solution by UMNO, PKR, DAP and PAS alike, but only for the poor Indians. In bi-racial One Malay-sia this does not happen to the poor Malays, orang asli, Kadazan, Iban or even poor Chinese who have hundreds of new villages as their social safety net. But there are almost zero permanent Indian villages with land titles as a social safety net.

The Chinese poor have at least 507 Chinese New Villages nationwide (The Star 11/8/10 at page N 18) to where they can fall back on.

All these are because the poor Indians are politically powerless and economically weak.

HRP’s Project 15/38 is the only way forward.

80% of PKR members do not want Anwar as their leader

You say that Najib became a PM without mandate from the people? Then what do you call Anwar?

By Punchme Rant

Democracy is a political form of government in which governing power is derived from the people.

Derived from the people!

And how do the people determine which leader that they want?

Votes.

Does it matter that the aspirant leader is young or is new in the party? Nah, democracy doesn't care for all of that, what matter are the votes. You get the votes, you'll become the leader.

So what do you call a party where the highest leader became the leader without any votes from members? Certainly not a party that practices democracy.

I'm telling you right now there are 80% of PKR members who do not want Anwar as their leader.

What? You think I just made that figure up? You think its bullshit? Ok then, let’s find out for sure. So how do we do that?
In the spirit of democracy, let’s vote! I'm telling you the PKR members will vote him out.

But how do you want to vote out someone that was never voted in? How to know whether the 80% figure is made up? So you mean even if there are 80% of PKR's members that want Anwar out, they can't do anything?

Ok so I want to be the 'de facto' leader for PKR, where do I sign up? What? Who am I? No reputation? Hello, did you read what I wrote up there? It doesn’t matter squat what you think, all I need is to get the votes.

Duh! The 'de facto' leader position is not open to ordinary members like me. In fact it's not even open to anyone besides Anwar. I must be a moron to even ask.

You say that Najib became a PM without mandate from the people? Then what do you call Anwar?

If you became a leader through votes, you know that you are there because of the votes. The members know that too. So if the leader screws up, members can only kick themselves as they are the one who voted the person in, and they'll know better come the next election.

That's what you call a democracy.

Yeah I can hear what you're saying now. This man is an idiot!

How do you feel that, whenever you want to talk some sense to UMNO, they'll dismiss you as pendatang and ask you to go balik India or China?

No intelligent debate, no mature discussion.

Ok how about this, how do you feel that, whenever you want to talk some sense to PKR, they'll dismiss you as Trojan horse or power crazy and ask you to go and die with BN?

And what about washing dirty linen in public? Then what do you call Malaysia Today? It's like the biggest laundry service in Malaysia. The thing is you only cheer when it is UMNO's linen.

What do you say? Some things should be discussed only in private? For the sake of what? Unity? Sensitivity? The people are not mature enough to digest all the info? They’ll jump to conclusions based on their narrow thinking?

You mean like how UMNO treats racial & religious issues?

Ok now it's the end of the day.

To the PKR supporter, of course all of this doesn't matter. Transparency, integrity, democracy and all the other crap doesn't matter. What matters is to kick BN out.

And to UMNO's supporters, of course corruption, abuse of power doesn't matter. What matters is to preserve 'Ketuanan Melayu'.

What? My English is no good? That’s why you’ll just dismiss this letter and ask me to screw myself?

Yeah I thought so too.

A Response to "So you want to Rumble, Let's Rumble"

DSAI is only human and he makes mistakes too.

By GM, Penampang Sabah

Dear Raja Petra, in your latest no holds barred article, you talked about the third force, The Peoples Declaration, and you also gave Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim much criticism. In the comments field you talked about how you have earned your right to criticize DSAI as well.

If I am not mistaken, DSAI won the post of President of UMNO Youth (name of the post back then, now Ketua Pemuda) against Datuk Suhaimi Kamaruddin by a razor thin 10 votes, you campaigned for DSAI. You were also very active in/headed the Free Anwar Ibrahim Campaign. You went through much hardship (ISA) because of the campaign (correct me if I’m wrong). In 2008 you were on the ground to ensure that the opposition coalition made an impact by campaigning for them with a lot of effort put in.

My opinion is that you have indeed earned your right to criticize DSAI. However, it does not look like criticism at all to me, regardless whether you curse or swear at DSAI, or maybe even call him names. With the pain and frustration that you have undertaken to support DSAI through the years, I see your criticism towards DSAI more like you are advising him. I am a very strong and die hard supporter of PKR, but I have a weakness. My weakness is that I am not able to vision PKR beyond DSAI.

I have to admit that I have always been pro-opposition, I was happy that DSAI was released from prison earlier than expected, I was happy that PAKATAN did very well in the 2008 GE, and I will be very happy if PAKATAN captures Putrajaya in the next GE, super happy if DSAI become Prime Minister.

I agree that DSAI does have weaknesses and that he had made a lot of mistakes. Terrible ones, especially the September 16th promise to take Putrajaya by crossovers. Based on information that I have heard, the September 16th attempt was really going to happen but it did not (thank God) due to pressure from top Pakatan leaders to not allow it. DSAI has also admitted that he had chosen many wrong candidates in the 2008 GE.

DSAI is only human and he makes mistakes too. He was advised to not proceed with the September 16th attempt. DSAI will not make decisions based on what he reads in the comments fields or maybe even the letters/emails that are being sent to him. We need political heavyweights to advice and guide DSAI in order for him to make decisions. Despite all this, we also need to give him a break as he does have other problems to handle currently, like his court case (sodomy 2), the Hindraf video footage shot outside his residence, and etc.

I have been on the ground to silently campaign for PAKATAN RAKYAT. Unfortunately, I am a very bad speaker. People tell me to get local issues in Sabah to be relevant in my cause instead of using your exposes of corruption as it is not relevant in Sabah (which I cannot understand why it isn’t relevant). I was also advised to join PKR, but every time I go to PKR HQ in Sabah, the office is closed. I contacted the PKR information Chief by SMS to ask for help in processing my membership and all he says is we will meet later. Maybe it’s my luck. I keep telling myself to be patient as they are busy with party elections.
It’s frustrating for me.

The internet is a very powerful tool. If I am not able to convince the rural people to choose PAKATAN instead of SAPP or the BN using oratory skills, maybe I can do so in writing and try to convince the urban and internet savvy potential voters. Why I say potential voters is because a huge number of young Sabahans have not registered as voters but are angry at the BN, yet they are divided to choose between SAPP and PAKATAN. Is this considered as being a third force?

I would like to thank you Raja Petra for posting all my letters to MT. Datuk Halik Zaman is doing very well on posting all his “on the ground campaigns” and “PKR membership registration” on Sabahkini.net and I urge that the same be done in Penampang by PKR. To unseat the current Penampang MP will be a mammoth task and we need to start now.

I am not sure whether I am contributing to the “third force” cause, but I hope I am.

Regards,
GM

Malaysians4Change Part 3: Countdown 30-Days to General Election

The PACA is extremely crucial to the election campaign as there will be extensive cheating on polling day and the candidate without PACAs will definitely lose the election.

By pywong

Item 1.3 Election Campaign Knowhow & 2.3 Online SOP - Study Election CampaginWhen we first saw the original Malay version of "Countdown 30-days to General Election", we were amazed. It could only have been produced by a very experienced and brilliant campaign director and that person had to be from PAS as they were the only ones in the opposition who had such extensive experience. We have translated it to English and simplified it for civil society. With this Countdown Chart, we can quickly identify what needs to be done to execute an election campaign. Others can also determine which area suits their expertise for which they wish to contribute their efforts.

There is a role for everyone. Imagine an army of 400,000 volunteers to fight for change during elections. The scale of organisation is daunting. But that is what it takes to be free.

We hope the Pakatan component parties will acknowledge PAS's expertise and leadership in election campaigns and allow them to lead future election campaigns. This is probably wishful thinking as many people are governed by their ego instead of their common sense. This Countdown Chart will be the master framework upon which all M4C election campaign SOPs will be based. The M4C Road Map Part 2 is a component of this chart focusing on PACA. Keep visiting this site often as we will be updating it with more material on PACA.

We have presented this at an early stage for two reasons:

1. The PACA is extremely crucial to the election campaign as there will be extensive cheating on polling day and the candidate without PACAs will definitely lose the election.

2. PACA duties offer the lowest entry barrier to civil society as it is fairly standardized and easy to pick up. So training PACA volunteers is relatively easy compared to other campaign activities.

3. All we ask from a volunteer is 1 day a year to fight for change to bring Freedom to Malaysia. Over a 5-year period, that is only 5 days! We have also enclosed this file as an attachment. It is clearer than the copy displayed online. Please distribute it to your friends to spread the word. To print, use A3 size paper and otherwise the print will be too fine for reading.

PM Najb Kata, "Malaysia, Tanpa Kaum Cina , Tiada Masa Depan"

READ HERE FOR MORE
I came across a very interesting headline on the Nov 3rd edition of Sin Chew Daily.

Its front page flashed the catchy Najib: Malaysia without Chinese has no future.

A very bold statement and direct recognition of the role played by the Chinese community by the prime minister.

Being well aware of UMNO-BNs divide-and-conquer tactics in the last five decades, I decided to translate it into English and Malay.

Interestingly, the bold statement was read by Najibs deputy Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yasin. Usually when a UMNO president (Najib in this case) affirms the position of the non-Malay, its deputy will use it back in the Malay community to backstab his boss.

Unfortunately, in this case Muhyiddin had to read Najibs speech because the latter was ill. It would be weird for the former to perform the backstabbing.

NAJIB: MALAYSIA, TANPA KAUM CINA, TIADA MASA DEPAN

Serdang, 2 November

Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak mengakui bahawa Malaysia tidak akan mempunyai apa yang ada sekarang ini jika tiada kaum Cina yang menyumbangkan keusahawanan, profesionalisme dan dedikasi, dan tujuan Visi 2020 tidak akan mungkin dapat dicapai.

Dia memuji kaum Cina atas sumbangan signifikan mereka dalam ekonomi negara. Sebagai tulang belakang ekonomi, masa depan Malaysia adalah suram tanpa sokongan daripada kaum Cina.

Dia mengatakan bahawa orang Cina hidup di tujuh benua di dunia. Ramai daripada mereka menjadi pengusaha-pengusaha yang berjaya, profesional-profesional, pegawai-pegawai awam dan ahli akademik di negara masing-masing. Jelas, orang Cina memberikan sumbangan yang signifikan kepada negara di mana merekatinggal . Mereka selalu terkenal kerana keusahawanan, daya adaptasi dan dorongan kuat untuk kemajuan mereka, kata Najib.

Orang Cina di Malaysia adalah contoh terbaik. Kaum Cina telah membe! ntuk tul ang belakang ekonomi kita melalui perusahaan-perusahaan kecil dan menengah. Antara syarikay-syarikat yang terkenal dan berjaya adalah Cina, kata Najib apabila membuka Forum Ekonomi Cina Dunia Kedua. Oleh kerana sakit, ucapannya dibacakan oleh Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yasin.

Dia percaya suatu hari akan datang tiga daripada lima kawasan ekonomi terbesar dunia akan berasal dari Asia, iaitu China, Jepun dan India.

Kita boleh belajar dari China dan Asia tentang perdagangan bebas, pasaran terbuka dan pelaburan asing sebagai cara untuk kemakmuran, kata Najib.

Dia menunjukkan bahawa sementara Asia telah muncul sebagai lokomotif ekonomi dunia, ia tetap di belakang teknologi Barat.

Namun melalui kerjasama pelbagai hala dan pelaburan antara Barat dan Asia, ini akan merangsang pemikiran baru di Asia sehingga Asia lebih kompetitif secara global.

Najib: Malaysia, Without Chinese, Has No Future

Serdang, Nov 2nd

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak confessed that Malaysia would not be what it is today if not because of the Chineses enterprises, professionals and dedication, and the goal of Vision 2020 will not be achievable.

He praised the Chinese for their significant contribution to the economy. Being the backbone of the economy, without the support of the Chinese, Malaysias future will be bleak.

He pointed out that the Chinese live across all continents of the world. Many of them are successful entrepreneurs, professionals, public officers and academicians in their respective home countries. Obviously, the Chinese make significant contribution to the country where they belong. They are always well known for their entrepreneurship, adaptability and drive for progress, said Najib.

The Chinese in Malaysia is the best example. The community forms the backbone of our economy! through the many small and medium enterprises. Some of the well known enterprises are Chinese, said Najib when opening the Second World Chinese Economic Forum. Due to illness, his speech was read by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yasin.

He believed the day would come when three of the five largest economic regions will be from Asia, namely China, Japan and India. We can learn from China and Asia on free trade, open market and foreign investment as the way forward for prosperity, said Najib.

He pointed out that while Asia has emerged as the economic locomotive of the world, it remains behind the West technologically. However through multilateral cooperation and investments between the West and Asia, it will stimulate the new thinking in Asia so that it can be more competitive globally.

'With or without Zaid, PKR will stride on valiantly'

By Syed Jaymal Zahiid

PETALING JAYA: PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution currently dismissed naysayers' predictions of adverse implications in a celebration with Zaid Ibrahim's goal to quit.

He pronounced PKR is moving forward as well as was already upon 'the right track', stressing it has been creation strides even before Zaid joined a celebration last year following his sacking from Umno.

"We accept his preference as well as you hold a party's tip care have selected to pierce forward," Saifuddin told a press conference during a celebration headquarters here.

A week after withdrawing from a emissary presidential race, Zaid done an expected announcement which he is ready to quit a party.

He has been flaying PKR's tip care in recent day as "sick", following what he described as their rejection to quell malpractices in a party's maiden approach polls.

The former Umno male was facing a difficult battle in a celebration polls against favourite, PKR vice-president Azmin Ali, for a No 2 post.

Azmin is pronounced to have perceived a subsidy of celebration supremo Anwar Ibrahim amidst a controversy over a celebration choosing which has dented PKR's image.

Several PKR leaders, including those from Azmin's camp, as well as observers hold Zaid's exit would start a celebration image, generally between progressive civic Malay voters.

Leaders similar to outgoing emissary president Syed Husin Ali have certified which a former law minister's deficiency would have an impact but maintained which it won't start a celebration in a long run.

Saifuddin echoed Syed Husin's views, observant which a deficiency of Zaid, would not have any major disastrous impact.

"When you initial proposed out people were pessimistic of a chances but you right away you are leading a antithesis coalition.

"We are upon a right track by being a in! itial ce lebration to exercise approach polls," he said, reiterating which this was additionally completed in Zaid's absence.

Legitamacy of polls in question

Despite allegations of widespread malpractices, Saifuddin insisted a party's ongoing approach elections is a hallmark in a country's political history.

However, a polls have been injured by a shockingly low voter audience which has called in to subject a party's democratic ideals as well as a legitimacy of a ongoing celebration elections.

Dozens of a party's divisions have recorded staggeringly low voter audience via a 3 weeks of a polling process, with a little recording a below 10 percent turnout.

Some suggested which it signalled a protest against a purported mistreatment of Zaid but Saifuddin again shot down a notion.

"Even when Zaid was still contesting, a voter audience remained during about 7 to 8 percent," he said.

Meanwhile, Saifuddin additionally doubtful claims done by emissary presidential contender Mustaffa Kamil Ayub upon a jurisdictional crisis between a secretary-general's bureau as well as a party's central choosing cabinet (JPP).

Mustaffa, PKR's Perak chief, purported there was division by a Saifuddin's bureau upon JPP's affairs as well as called for a celebration polls to be postponed until all purported irregularities are addressed.

"There is no subject of a jurisdiction issue. The JPP chairman Dr Molly Cheah has already responded to a memorandum sent by Mustaffa. He was asked to give sum to await his allegations," pronounced Saifuddin when queried upon a matter.

Selangor to reclaim money for botched lunch

By Rahmah Ghazali

UPDATED SHAH ALAM: The Selangor government is seeking to recover the amount that Yayasan Selangor paid in advance to an event management company for its 40th anniversary luncheon.

The luncheon was scheduled for today but Yayasan has cancelled it following decisions by the Sultan of Selangor and Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim not to attend.

Khalid told a news conference here that Yayasan, a welfare foundation established by the state, had paid RM100,000 for the rental of canopies.

Asked whether the money would be reimbursed, he said, “Yes, yes, I should think so” as he concluded the conference. He did not give any more detail.

It was reported last week that the event would cost Yayasan RM300,000, an amount that both the Sultan and Khalid have described as exorbitant.

There is some confusion about the proportion paid in advance, with some officials saying it was 90 percent of the total.

According to PKR’s Shuhami Shafie, the state assemblyman for Sri Muda, Yayasan had paid two instalments.

“We understand that they have made two payments to the company,” he told an earlier press conference. “First it was RM150,000. The second payment was RM140,000.”

Maximizing the recovery

But according to Yayasan’s general manager, Ilham Marzuki, the amount paid so far was only 50% of the RM300,000.

“We are doing our best to maximize recovery,” he told FMT in a text message.

At his news conference, Shuhaimi rebuked Selangor Umno deputy chief Noh Omar for “lying” about the cost of the luncheon.

News reports yesterday quoted Noh as saying the event would have cost the state RM800,000.

“It’s a blatant lie,” Shuhaimi said. “The Menteri Besar has given his explanation. He has said it would have cost around RM300,000. And he has promised the state assembly that he would investigate the matter.

“Noh doesn’t have to lie even if he wants to appear as a hero in order to get the Prime Minister’s attention.”

He suggested that Noh, who is the Minister of Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry, focus instead on explaining an alleged delay in the supply of fertilisers to the country’s farmers.

He said the farmers were supposed to have received the supplies last month .

He alleged that the fertiliser contract was given to an “Umno crony in Selayang” under dubious circumstances

S'gor-owned KDEB to be probed

Meanwhile the Selangor legislative assembly also approved a motion to investigate state-owned Kumpulan Darul Ehsan Berhad (KDEB) for its “lackadaisical management” in developing a plot of land in Sepang.

It also approved the setting up of an independent body under the state government to probe the company and table the findings to the state assembly.

The motion, which was submitted by Shaari Sungib (PAS-Hulu Klang), cited that KDEB and its investment arm KHSB developed 10 acres of land in Dengkil sold to a third party named Syarikat Temasik Sehati Sdn Bhd through a joint venture at a low price, despite its strategic location.

According to Shaari, the land was sold at RM4.16 million without taking into account its premium payment that would be borne by KHSB.

In result, he said the state subsidiary would instead get returns of RM37,026.40 or RM3,875.81 per acre.

Setiausaha PKR Pahang: Politik naungan punca kemelut

Oleh Muda Mohd Noor

PETALING JAYA: Setiausaha PKR Pahang Razali Alias berkata kemelut dalam PKR telah menjejaskan sokongan rakyat kepada parti itu.

Menurutnya, kemelut itu berlaku kerana semua pemimpin PKR mahu bernaung di bawah restu Ketua Umum, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

"Ini politik yang tidak sihat. Semua berpunca daripada politik naungan kerana masing-masing mahu duduk di bawah ketiak Anwar. Semua mahu menjadi orang Anwar, menjadi orang yang dinaungi Anwar," katanya ketika dihubungi hari nini.

Beliau mengulas kemelut PKR yang menyaksikan calon timbalan presiden yang juga Pengerusi Wilayah Persekutuan, Datuk Zaid Ibrahim menarik diri dan meletakkan semua jawatan parti.

Razali menambah, masa depan PKR kini bergantung kepada sejauh mana pimpinan parti menangani kemelut itu.

Zaid, bekas menteri undang-undang juga dikatakan akan bertindak untuk keluar PKR.

"Kemelut PKR ini berpunca daripada pemilihan secara langsung yang menyebabkan terdedah pelbagai kemungkinan. Pemilihan secara langsung, ada baik dan ada buruknya. (Tetapi) yang buruk telah tersebar keluar, kini orang membuat persepsi buruk terhadap PKR, orang lihat PKR lemah.

Apa yang berlaku sekarang ialah wujud suasana tidak sihat dalam PKR. Sedikit sebanyak terjejas untuk menghadapi pilihanraya umum akan datang," katanya.

PKR dalam pemilihan pucuk pimpinan dari cabang (bahagian) hingga presiden melaksanakan satu ahli satu undi - di mana setiap ahli boleh memilih.

Zaid yang menyertai PKR Julai tahun lalu menarik diri dari pertandingan timbalan pesiden kerana mendakwa berlaku ketidaktelusan dan penyelewengan jumlah pengundi. Beberapa pemimpin lain turut menyuarakan perkara sama.

Naib Presiden PKR Azmin Ali kini mendahului seorang lagi calon, Mustaffa Kamil Ayub. Bagaimanapun, keputusan penuh akan diumumkan dalam kongres parti akhir bulan ini.

Bagaimanapun, Pen! gerusi P KR Perak, Osman Abdul Rahman berkata kemelut dalaman adalan perkara biasa bagi parti politik dan persatuan.

"Dalam isu PKR saya tidak nampak PKR kurang sokongan. Sokongan rakyat macam dulu juga. Saya yakin PKR akan berjaya dalam pilihanraya umum akan datang," katanya.

The Case of Rosli Dahlan: MACC will cover up the Powerful but will make sacrificial lambs of the Innocent

by Din Merican

In my posting of September 16, 2010 entitled The MAS Story: Of Arrogance and Folly, I wrote about the arrogance of Tajudin Ramli and how he is still free and wealthy despite causing MAS to suffer losses of RM 8billion. I questioned why no action has been taken against him. I questioned what the MACC is doing with the expose that Attorney-General (AG) Gani Patail is involved with Tajudins henchman, Shahidan Shafie. I even questioned of A-G Gani Patails manipulations in criminal investigations.

The Fixer and Evidence Fabricator

The matters that I raised are shared by the Member of Parliament for Kubang Kerian and PAS Vice- President, YB Salahuddin Ayub, who has again reminded the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to take action on the RM8 billion loss incurred by Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAS). YB Salahuddin said the matter had long been raised in Parliament, and a formal letter of complaint was also sent to PAC chairman, Dato Seri Azmi Khalid:

I have raised the issue of the two letters which I sent to PAC chairman, Azmi Khalid on 13 December

PAC chairman, Dato Seri Azmi Khalid

2009 and again on 30 August 2010, in which I appealed PAC to take certain actions on losses suffered by MAS amounting to RM8 billion.

I have also raised these issues in two letters followed by my debate in Parliament, he told a press conference at the Parliament lobby.

That A-G Gani Patail is involved in manipulations and selective prosecution is now confirmed in a strongly worded public letter by ! Datuk Ma t Zain bin Ibrahim, former KLs Officer in Charge of Criminal Investigations (KL OCCI). This is what Datuk Mat Zain had to say of A-G Gani Patail :

In short, the delay in completion of the investigation was due to theunprofessional manner the IP (Investigation Paper) was handled by the AG Chambers, and in particular by Tan Sri Gani Patail himself. I can say without fear of favour that if there were misleads then it was Gani Patail who misled and if there was manipulations of evidence then it was he who initiated them.

A-G Gani Patail is involved in manipulations, and selective prosecution is now confirmed in a strongly worded public letter by Datuk Mat Zain bin Ibrahim, former KLs Officer in Charge of Criminal Investigations (KL OCCI)

I highlighted the Global Settlement that Tajuddin Ramli is seeking with all the Government Linked Companies (GLCs) that have sued him including MAS. Iexpressed my concern that Lawyer Rosli Dahlan will be made a scapegoat, and that in the end the Global Settlement will result in all the criminal cases against Tajuddin which have been identified by Dato Ramli Yusuff, former Director CCID PDRM, to be permanently buried. That his crimes which have been NFA (No Further Action)d by the A-G Gani Patail will not be re-opened.

Criminal cases against Tajuddin which have been identified by Dato Ramli Yusuff, former Director CCID PDRM are to be perm! anently buried.

I also questioned about Lawyer Rosli Dahlan whom I suspected was losing stamina and resolve as a result of his own case which is being dragged on by the MACC. My suspicion that the MACC is being used to oppress Rosli Dahlan has now been confirmed by the public letter of Dato Mat Zain as follows:

It only shows that MACC and the Chambers are prepared even to go to the extent of affirming false affidavit to screen Gani Patail from legal punishment.

However, my concerns may have appeared to be a criticism of Rosli Dahlans integrity. That was not what I intended. I wanted to explain why Roslis case was important in our quest for truth and justice. It is about the hazards when a man of integrity has to go through on a solo mission to expose the abuses of those in corridors of power. Rosli may have been slighted by what I wrote. Since then, I have not been able to get in touch with him. I can now understand why.

It only shows that MACC and the AG Chambers are prepared even to go to the extent of affirming false affidavit to screen Gani Patail from legal punishment.

It appears that the representation letter which Rosli wrote to MACCs Dato Sri Abu Kassim Mohamed did not contain any of the grovelling of a broken men begging for mercy on bended knees. On the contrary, it is a letter written by a man with full conviction of knowing right from wrong, a man seeking justice because he is entitled to it. I now know why neither the MACCs Abu Kassim nor A-G Gani Patail responded to Rosli because he refused to beg in his letter. The conclusion that we can draw is that the MACC will cover up for the powerful but will make sacrificial lambs of the innocent.

Do not make Lawyer Rosli a sacrificial lamb!

Roslis appeal letter is a bit of a sad letter, written during the last Ramadan, with the hope to be released on the 3rd anniversary that the MACC abused him and inflicted on him and his family the nightmare in 2007. It has become a long nightmare. While his friend and client, Dato Ramli Yusuff, who was the principal accused person, has been long acquitted, Roslis life and career is still in suspension.

"It is not their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah; it is your piety that reaches Him." (Qur'an 22:37) The symbolism is in the attitude - a willingness to make sacrifices in our lives in order to stay on the Straight Path. Each of us makes small sacrifices, giving up things that are fun or important to us. A true Muslim, one who submits his or herself completely to the Lord, is willing to follow Allah's commands completely and obediently. It is this strength of heart, purity in faith, and willing obedience that our Lord desires from us.

In a few days time, Muslims will celebrate Hari Raya Aidil Adha. Muslims will slaughter sheep and cattle as sacrifice to God and to cleanse their sins. I say this to Abu Kassim Do not make Rosli a sacrificial lamb!

The letter from En Rosli Dahlan to Datuk Abu Kassim of MACC is as follows :

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

YDH Dato,

Per: Mahkamah Sesyen Kuala Lumpur Kes Tangkap No: 62-449-2007 Pendakwa Raya lwn- Rosli Bin Dahlan

Adalah dengan hormatnya saya merujuk kepada perbicaraaan yang akan disambung pada 6hb hingga 8hb September, 2010.

Dengan penuh rasa insaf dan rendah diri, saya memohon perhatian dan pertimbangan Dato untuk menarik balik pertuduhan terhadap saya sebelum atau pada tarikh sambung bicara akan datang. Besarlah hati saya, jika Dato sudi mengambil kira fakta dan alasan-alasan ringkas seperti berikut:

a) Hubungan saya dengan Dato Ramli Yusuff adalah sebagai rakan sekuliah sejak dari universiti. Memang menjadi kelaziman saya membantu sesiapa jua yang memerlukan nasihat guaman. Hal ini boleh ditanyakan kepada kenalan dan sahabat handai termasuk ahli Kariah di Masjid kawasan saya. Apatah lagi dalam hubungan akrab rakan seperjuangan, saya bersenang hati memberikan khidmat nasihat guaman kepada Dato Ramli Yusuff sepertimana juga dengan Dato Nordin Hassan dan keluarganya. Hal ini boleh ditanyakan kepada Dato Nordin Hassan sendiri. Perkara tersebut tidak sedikit pun menjejas kredibiliti mana-mana pihak kerana ianya dibuat secara telus dan profesional;

b) Berhubung integriti dan keperibadian saya sejak di universiti, Dato boleh bertanyakan sendiri kepada Prof Tan Sri Dr Mohd Kamal Hassan yang merupakan ahli Lembaga Penasihat SPRM. Dato juga boleh bertanyakan keperibadian profesional saya kepada Tan Sri Dato Robert Phang yang menganggotai panel Pencegahahan Rasuah SPRM. Sebelum kejadian ini, reputasi saya sebagai seorang peguamcara Melayu/Islam adalah tanpa sebarang cela;

c) Sejak bermulanya pe! rkara in i, saya telah mempertikaikan kesahihan pengeluaran Notis dibawah Seksyen 32(1)(b) yang dibuat terhadap saya oleh TPR SPRM;

d) Jawapan saya melalui Akuan Berkanun bertarikh 20hb September, 2007 adalah perisytiharan tulus dari saya bahawa saya tidak terbabit dalam apa jua harta Dato Ramli Yusuff atau sebarang penyelindungan keatasnya. Malah, saya memberikan perakuan bahawa saya able, ready and willing memberikan apa jua maklumat lanjut jika diperlukan. Tuan TPR dan/atau penyiasat SPRM tidak pernah menghubungi saya untuk meminta saya memberikan penjelasan dan tiada satu pun rakaman percakapan saya pernah dibuat sebelum saya ditangkap;

e) Amatlah memilukan apabila pada bulan Ramadhan 2007, saya diperlakukan secara kasar, ditangkap dengan bergari sehingga luka dan ditahan semalaman dalam lokap SPRM dan kemudiannya dikenakan pertuduhan di Mahkamah dengan cara yang amat mengaibkan sehari sebelum Aidilfitri. Aib, hiba dan duka dihati tidak dapat digambarkan dan masih menjadi ingatan pahit bagi diri saya, isteri dan anak-anak saya;

f) Perbicaraan yang telah berjalan kini menunjukkan bahawa keterangan para saksi SPRM setakat ini mengesahkan bahawa saya hanya diperlukan sebagai saksi dan tidak terbabit dalam apa jua salahlaku yang disyaki;

g) Malahan, pihak utama yang dituduh iaitu Dato Ramli bin Yusuff telah pun dibebaskan dan dilepaskan daripada kesemua pertuduhan oleh beberapa Mahkamah;

h) Pada setiap waktu, saya sentiasa berkerjasama dengan pihak SPRM;

i) Sejak kejadian ini, kerjaya saya telah mengalami mudarat, terlebih lagi saya banyak berurusan dengan syarikat asing yang lazimnya mengkaji latarbelakang peguam yang akan dilantik. Ini jelas apabila google search nama saya akan menunjukkan tindakan SPRM terhadap saya yang memberikan gambaran negatif bahawa saya di tuduh dengan kesalahan di bawah a! kta anti rausah. Saya boleh memberikan banyak contoh tentang pertanyaan yang diterima firma saya yang mempersoalkan kewibawaan saya sebagai seorang peguamcara;

j) Amatlah menjerihkan untuk membersihkan nama yang telah teronar ditambah pula dengan kos guaman tinggi yang terpaksa saya tanggung. Malah, bukan saja saya, isteri dan anak-anak mengalami aib yang teramat sangat, malah kaum keluarga besar saya juga mengalami tekanan perasaan yang sama.

Dalam bulan Ramadhan Kareem ini, saya dengan rendah diri memohon ihsan dan pertimbangan Dato supaya perkara ini dapat diselesaikan tanpa perlu diputuskan oleh Mahkamah. Apapun perasaan yang terbuku dihati saya, waktunya telah tiba dimana saya perlu redha ianya sebagai ketentuan Allah.

Secara peribadi, saya menyokong kewujudan dan peranan SPRM sebagai satu institusi keramat yang diperlukan demi membanteras gejala rasuah di negara ini. Namun, akan menjadi satu kedukaan jika institusi ini dianggap oleh masyarakat awam sebagai telah disalahgunakan sehingga memangsakan orang orang yang tidak bersalah.

Andaikata sahutan hati saya ini menyentuh naluri insaniah Dato, saya yakin kita dapat berkerjasama memainkan peranan masing-masing demi menegakkan kebenaran dan perlaksanaan undang-undang dengan tulus dan ikhlas mematuhi prinsip Rule of law.

Amatlah malang jika rayuan saya ini tidak menerima sambutan dipihak Dato sebagai usaha saya mencari penyelesaian dan perdamaian dalam perkara ini. Janganlah sampai penolakan rayuan saya ini akhirnya memaksakan kepada proses undang-undang yang tidak berkesudahan yang tidak akan membawa kepada sebarang manfaat kepada kita dan juga masyarakat amnya.

Sebaliknya, persetujuan Dato untuk menamatkan prosiding pendakwaan dengan menarik balik pertuduhan terhadap saya akan menjadi satu petanda baik bahawa SPRM adalah satu institusi yang b! erani me ngambil langkah yang betul demi menegakkan kebenaran. Ini akan menjadi satu pembukaan lembaran baru dalam sejarah SPRM dibawah teraju Dato sebagai Ketua Pesuruhjaya SPRM.

Semoga kita diberi hidayah dan mendapat afiah dan hasanah dibulan Ramadhan yang penuh barokah ini.Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri Minal Aidil Wal Faidzin.

Besarlah hati saya jika menerima jawapan segera dari pihak Dato.

Sekian, terima kasih.

Yang benar,

ROSLI DAHLAN
