PM gives commitment that impoundment of Bibles will not recur

Malaysia-Instinct.com

KUCHING: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has made a clear commitment to church leaders that the impoundment of Bahasa Malaysia Bibles (Alkitab) will not recur.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Idris Jala said Najib made the commitment during a dialogue with leaders from the Association of Churches Sarawak (ACS) yesterday.

“As far as the prime minister is concerned, he’s made a very clear commitment that the issue around withholding the Bibles and impounding them should not recur. He made it very explicit to the meeting today,” Idris told reporters after the dialogue.

The impoundment and stamping of 35,100 copies of the Alkitab at the Klang and Kuching ports had caused unhappiness among Christians, with church groups protesting that the move was unconstitutional and a desecration of the Bibles.

Idris said Najib informed the church leaders that he had written an official letter to the Christian Federation of Malaysia confirming that the 10-point solution to the Alkitab issue was a decision collectively made by the Cabinet, including himself as the prime minister.

“That’s a very big assurance,” Idris said, adding that copies of the letter were given to the leaders at the dialogue.

Idris also said Najib told the church leaders that the 30,000 Bibles impounded in Kuching had been collected by Gideon, the importer.

“With the 5,100 Bibles in Port Klang already collected, this means as of today there are no Bibles in the custody of the Home Ministry,” he said.

Hence, Idris said the 10-point solution was accepted by the churches, especially in regard to the Bibles.

He also said the Government recognised that there were other issues beyond the Bible issue and was committed to having dialogues with Christian groups to resolve the issues, as spelt out in point nine of the 10-point solution.

“The Prime Minister has said that Christian ministers in the Cabinet, including myself, would have regular meetings and dialogues with Christian leaders to look at issues other than the Bibles, such as mission schools and the teaching of certain subjects,” he said, adding that it would take time to resolve the issues and the Government would not hurry the solutions.

Idris said Najib also spoke about the need for national reconciliation.

“If there are hurts that exist between ourselves as a multi-racial, multi-religious society, it is important that we find ways to reconcile.

“That’s the whole nature of 1Malaysia. The lowest level of 1Malaysia is that we tolerate each other, the next level is when we accept each other, and the third and highest level is when we celebrate our differences,” Idris said.

He also pointed out that the Government had to take into account the interests of all religions, not just the Christians.

“We live in a society that’s diverse. Clearly, there are differences in the way we worship, but we need to accept and respect each other. We have to sit down together and find a creative solution that’s acceptable to all,” he said.- The Star

"Cops Identified Porn Star As Senior Minister Of The Government !"

IGP: Police have sufficient evidence to identify man in sex video

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have sufficient evidence to identify the man in the sex video implicating an opposition leader, Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar said Thursday.

He added that investigations into the video were expected to be completed next week.

“We are now ascertaining, who is the owner of the (Omega) watch handed to the police,” he told reporters here.

To a question on whether the woman in the video had been located and interviewed, Ismail said the “police have managed to talk to everyone involved in the sex video”.

On March 21, newsmen were shown a 22-minute video, showing a man resembling the opposition leader, having sex with a woman, by a man who identified himself only as 'Datuk T'. He claimed the video was recorded on Feb 21 in a local hotel room.

Early this month, a 'teaser' of the controversial video was loaded on popular social video site YouTube.

The one minute, 47 second clip showed a man in a towel and a woman in what appeared to be a hotel room.- The Star

PM thankful truth revealed over Altantuya murder allegations

Malaysia-Instinct.com

LAWAS: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is thankful the truth has been revealed over allegations linking him and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor to the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.

The Prime Minister said he was knew the truth would finally prevail in the allegations made by Malaysia Today founder and editor Raja Petra Kamaruddin in a statutory declaration in 2008.

“I've always considered the matter closed. It was only an issue in the realm of the court of public opinion,” he said, after launching the Seri Malaysia hotel here Thursday.

In a sensational interview over TV3 on Wednesday night, Raja Petra said he had made the allegations on the belief that the order came from PKR adviser and Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He added that his SD in 2008 which stated he was reliably informed that Rosmah was among those present at the crime scene on Oct 19, 2006, when Altantuya was killed, was based on information and demand by several individuals aimed at preventing Najib from becoming prime minister.

Raja Petra claimed these individuals were connected to several politicians, including Anwar, and that they had put pressure on him to do what he did to prevent Najib from taking over from Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who relinquished the post in 2009.

“I no longer accept the story. I think it's quite impossible. It can't be that the Prime Minister's wife would want to go to such a place; it's a jungle.

"I'm imagining, climbing up the hill, going into the jungle at night, at midnight, I think it's quite impossible,” he had said in an exclusive interview with TV3 Group Editor Datuk Ashraf Abdullah in Perth, Australia, recently.- The Star

"Opposition will kill Taib !"

Taib may lose Balingian and control over successor

from Free Malaysia Today » Nation by Pushparani Thilaganathan

KUCHING: With 48 hours to go before Sarawak makes its most politically defining decision, the latest ground reports indicate that the opposition has an upperhand in Balingian, the home seat of Chief Minister Taib Mahmud.

Money, promises of more development and the exotic looks of his new Lebanese wife Ragad Mahmud, it appears, are not enough to convince voters in this contituency of 11,887 voters, 9,523 of whom are women.

Ground reports last night put the fight at 60:40 in favour of the opposition.

Leading the opposition’s assault in Balingian is independent candidate Salleh Jafaruddin who has brought up intimate details of Taib’s political history, including the failed 1987 attempt to oust Taib from his post.

Salleh is Taib’s cousin. He was allegedly involved in an attempt to usurp Taib. The coup was allegedly engineered by their uncle, former governor Rahman Yaakob.

Vengeful Taib went on to wipe out the Rahman-linked entourage involved in the attempt.

Revealing the “worrying” situation to FMT late last night, an insider, well acquainted with Taib since the early 1980s, said the chief minister was “struggling” in Balingian against the collective might of Salleh and PKR candidate businesswoman Suriati Abdullah.

“It’s not looking good for him (Taib). He’s got 40%… Salleh is holding at 50% and PKR 10%. He’s struggling this time.

“It’s worrying…” said the insider.

Low-profile Suriati

In rural Sarawak where family ties run deep and loyalty is honour, Taib’s injustices against the Rahman’s family is damaging.

“Salleh (pix, left) is taking them back to incidents in 1987. The older folks here remember what happened in Oya.

“He is detailing situations and jogging their memory. They all know what Taib did to the Rahman family is wrong.

“Salleh is sharing inside information about Taib’s family, his children and how they have taken away land from the people,” he said, adding that Salleh, being from the constituency, was also well liked.

Against this scenario, Taib is facing an uphill battle.

More damaging to him, too, is the fact that Suriati is allegedly a victim of his land grab.

Fifty-year-old Suriati has kept her campaign low profile, chosing to engage her voters in small groups and telling them her story. And they are listening.

Her humble and approachable personality has much to do with her popularity in Balingian.

A Foochow Chinese convert, she speaks the local dialects fluently and moves around freely with the local folk.

After Taib

What happens in the event Taib falls?

According to the FMT insider source, that’s when trouble starts.

If Taib loses Balingian, the insider said that Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) deputy president Alfred Jabu Numpang will step in and assume the position of chief minister.

“But this, too, will be in the interim. People don’t like Jabu and this will create problems.

“But based on seniority, he takes precedence over Abang Johari (Tun Openg),” the insider said, adding hesitantly that “someone else” is waiting.

The insider, however, declined to reveal the identity of this “someone” except to say that he was “close to the family”.

On Tuesday, Taib, succumbing to increasing pressure to name his successor and announce a date for his departure, said he had identifed his successor and urged all to give the unnamed “younger” successor their undivided support.

High on the rumoured list is Awang Tengah Ali Hassan who is State Planning and Resource Management Minister II and State Public Utilities Minister. He is a confidante of Taib’s sister Raziah and her allegedly manipulative husband Robert Geneid.

Geneid, who engineered Taib’s marriage to his cousin Ragat (pix), is also behind the introduction of bomoh Stella into Taib’s life.

Sarawak conspiracy

Earlier this week, Sarawak Report’s Clare Rewcastle Brown said it was Raziah, Awang Tengah and Stella who decided on the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidates for the 10th Sarawak election.

“Awang Tengah was the only one (minister) privy to the meeting with them hours before Taib appeared at the PBB headquarters for the announcement of the state election candidates list,” she wrote.

She said the BN candidates were chosen “to keep hold of and protect the huge tracts of land and the possessions that they (Raziah and Geneid) have taken from the state”.

The report claimed that Raziah, Geneid and and Stella were “conspiring to take over from Taib”.

“They want to do whatever it takes to get Awang Tengah to take over from Taib, so that they can continue to grab money.

“Awang is commonly known to be at Raziah’s beck and call whenever she wants something from the state government.”

There are mixed feelings about Awang Tengah here. The business circle likens him to federal minister Shafie Apdal and call him the “broker”.

When probed, another FMT source simply said: “Don’t bother talking to him (Awang Tengah) if you don’t have RM50,000… “

UMNO is the same old shame !

Civic groups decry media control

from Free Malaysia Today » Nation by Patrick Lee

PETALING JAYA: Civil society groups have decried Barisan Nasional’s heavy control over information as the Sarawak state election approaches.

The Centre for Independent Journalism, Charter2000-Aliran and the Writers’ Alliance for Media Independence released a statement today that spoke of “a pattern of political control of information regarding the incumbent state government in an environment that already heavily favours them”.

It said that while urban residents in the state had no trouble getting information from opposition parties, their rural counterparts were not so lucky.

“Much of the population is in remote areas reachable only by boats, a communications option that is further limited by the 10-day campaign period set by the Elections Commission.

“The poor infrastructure and physical difficulties posed by the mountainous terrain mean that the media with the biggest reach is radio, which is under the government’s licensing control.”

The statement also pointed out the denial of airtime to opposition candidates.

At the same time, it added, critical issues such as the alleged rape of Penan women and those touching on native customary rights and Chief Minister Taib Mahmud’s alleged corruption had been under-reported, if not altogether censored.

The statement also quoted an April 13 report by Malaysiakini alleging that Umno-linked TV stations were ordered not to broadcast footage of heavily-attended opposition talks.

It also pointed out the punishment meted out to Sarawak Tribune executive editor Paul Si, who was suspended from his job for questioning Taib’s retirement claim.

The statement denounced the barring of activists such as Steven Ng, Wong Chin Huat and Haris Ibrahim from the state.

“While the Sarawak government has the power under Section 65 (I)(a) of the Immigration Act 1959/1963 to control who enters the state, this power has been abused to prevent non-Sarawakian activists critical of Taib from direct engagement with the people,” it said.

The groups also condemned the massive cyber attacks on websites critical of Taib’s reign, including whistleblower Sarawak Report and news portal Malaysiakini.

They urged the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to investigate and act against the perpetrators of the attacks.

PRN Sarawak: 1001 macam soalan untuk kitak jawab....

Dilema Taib

Seluruh Malaysia ternanti-nanti siapakah bakal pengganti Taib Mahmud walaupun beliau berjanji untuk berundur beberapa tahun lagi. Mantan PM Mahathir Mohamad dan Najib mungkin lebih faham mengapa Taib boleh berkata sedemikian. Mula-mula Taib berkata "beberapa tahun lagi". Setelah mendapati sokongan terhadap Barisan Nasional semakin merosot, beliau berkata "dua tahun lagi". Dalam masa beberapa hari sahaja pendirian Taib berubah walaupun pada mulanya tidak mahu terperangkap dengan tuntutan pembangkang.

Sudah tentu isu ini berpunca dari rasa tidak puas hati rakyat terhadap kekuasaan Taib di Sarawak. Walau bagaimanapun, mungkin, sekurang-kurangnya kesetujuan Taib untuk berundur akan mengurangkan sedikit perasaan tidak puas hati terhadap pentadbiran beliau.

Rasanya bukan setakat rakyat Sarawak sahaja yang mahu Taib berundur, malah rakyat di Semenanjung juga; akan pemerintahan terlalu lama satu hal tetapi yang jadi masalah apabila beliau didakwa terpalit dengan skandal-skandal besar pembolotan harta negeri. Benarkah? Mangsanya adalah rakyat Sarawak sendiri. Mungkin masyarakat Dayak lebih terasa akan penderitan ini. Tanyalah sama bakal Baru Bian. Justeru, sejauh mana pula rasa tidak puas hati ini akan diterjemah melalui kertas undi?

Soalan:

1. Apakah kelebihan Taib dan adakah beliau masih disayangi rakyat Sarawak?
2. Kenapa Taib tidak mahu meletak jawatan awal (selepas pilihanraya atau tahun ini)?
3. Wajarkah Taib memegang jawatan Ketua Menteri untuk sepenggal lagi?
4. Apakah ada keperluan mengekalkan Taib sebagai KM?
5. Kenapa Najib sebagai PM tidak membuat keputusan awal berkenaan jawatan Taib?
6. Perlukah Taib membersihkan namanya dengan pengisytiharan harta?

Sentimen kenegerian dan doktrin ketuanan

! Sedang d esakan Taib untuk berundur terus kedengaran. Rakyat Sarawak dimainkan dengan sentimen anak negeri. Kononnya kalau Pakatan Rakyat menang, seolah-olah orang dari Semenanjung "menjajah" Bumi Kenyalang ini. Rasanya rakyat lebih matang, BN itu sendiri berasal dari Semenanjung. Cuma yang berbeza adalah kolasi parti-parti yang bersekutu. Persoalan ini tidak timbul. Malah barisan calon-calon dari PR juga hampir semuanya adalah anak jati Sarawak.

Apabila isu anak negeri ini tidak mendapat tempat (lebih-lebih lagi di kawasan majoriti Cina), lalu BN menimbulkan isu siapa Baru Bian (gambar atas) untuk menggantikan Taib. Inilah yang dinamakan "doktrin ketuanan". BN menyasarkan masyarakat Melayu dan Melanau dalam hal ini. Mereka ditakut-takutkan dengan sentimen suku, bangsa dan agama. Mereka mahu golongan sasar ini terus mempertahankan "ketuanan Melayu-Melanau" dengan mengundi BN. Agar hak dan kedaulatan sebagai Melayu-Melanau terus terjaga.

Sepatutnya Taib harus berterima kasih kepada masyarakat Dayak. Taib mampu mempertahankan kuasanya sehingga saat ini dengan undi mereka termasuk dari komuniti yang lain. Tanpa kesudian rakyat Sarawak menerima Taib sebagai KM, beliau mungkin cuma sebagai YB biasa sahaja. Rakyat Malaysia, apatah lagi rakyat Sarawak dilupakan dengan fakta bahawa orang Melayu-Melanau cuma mewakili kurang 30% populasi Sarawak.

Soalan:

1. Apakah suku lain selain Melanau tidak layak mengepalai pentadbiran kerajaan Sarawak?
2. Apakah Sarawak akan lebih mundur sekiranya berlaku perubahan pentadbiran kepada PR?
3. Apakah hak istimewa orang Melayu dan Bumiputera akan berubah sekiranya PR m! enerajui pentadbiran?
4. Apakah PR benar-benar bersedia menerajui Sarawak?
5. Adakah BN semakin dibenci disebabkan sentimen "Taib"?
6. Apakah Melayu-Melanau Sarawak terbelenggu dengan doktrin "pecah dan perintah"?
"Penjelmaan" Projek dan Akta Kesalahan Pilihan Raya 1954

"Pilihanraya", tentu sekali. Akan disertakan dengan pelbagai janji. Politik pembangunan ini berlaku di mana-mana sahaja seluruh Malaysia. BN kata "Beruntung orang Sarawak dapat banyak pembangunan". Tetapi saya masih kurang pasti siapa yang lebih untung; rakyat atau kroni? Setiap kali pilihanraya pun-tidak kira samada Pilihanraya Kecil mahupun pilihanraya Umum, rakyat sentiasa disajikan dengan bantuan-bantuan khas berupa wang ringgit mahupun perkhidmatan dan yang pasti; projek-projek dan projek sehingga "projek-projek" ini dilihat perkara lumrah dalam mana-mana pilihanraya.

Baiklah, di bawah ini saya senaraikan antara projek-projek yang diluluskan untuk Sarawak dalam tempoh terdekat ini dan semasa tempoh berkempen.

1. RM32 juta untuk projek loji rawatan air bersih di Kanowit
2. RM45.48 juta bagi projek pembangunan di Belaga
3. Jambatan RM25 juta menyeberangi Sungai Pandaruan menghubungkan Brunei
4.RM28 juta projek air bersih di Miri
5. RM51.6 juta projek Rumah Mesra Rakyat negeri Sarawak

Di atas ini cuma disenaraikan lima projek yang diumumkan dan masih banyak lagi projek-projek yang telah didedahkan melalui akhbar-akhbar utama dan media elektronik lainnya.

Kita tidak pasti apakah projek-projek ini akan memberi kesan kepada pengundi untuk terus mengundi BN? Pada masa yang sama secara tidak langsung mendedahkan walaupun Sarawak ditadbir oleh BN sejak puluhan tahun. Masalah air, elektrik dan infrastruktur terus menghantui penduduk. Apa! kah ini yang kita namakan sebagai kerajaan yang baik? Walhal hasil negeri cukup memberangsangkan.

Satu lagi perkara yang cukup jelas. Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) seolah-olah menutup mata terus dengan segala janji dan projek pembangunan yang ditawarkan padahal ia cukup untuk meletakkan situasi ini kepada unsur rasuah sepertimana terkandung dalam Undang-Undang Malaysia, Akta 5, Akta Kesalahan Pilihan Raya 1954, Bahagian III, Perbuatan-Perbuatan Rasuah.

Soalan:
1. Dengan segala projek ini, adakah Sarawak masih ketinggalan dari segi pembangunan sejak bergabung dengan Malaysia pada 1963?
2. Selain faktor geografi, mengapakah pembangunan infrastruktur di Sarawak perlahan berbanding negeri-negeri di semenanjung?
3. Apakah wajar segala jenis janji pembangunan-peruntukan-bantuann diberi secara besar-besaran semasa pilihanraya?
4. Wajarkah jentera kerajaan disalah guna untuk kempen Pilihan Raya Negeri ini?
5.Apakah tanggapan rakyat berkenaan lambakan projek-projek ini semasa tempoh berkempen?
6. Apa pandangan SPR berkenaan janji pembangunan dan bantuan-bantuan sedemikian di dalam tempoh kempen? - Hafiz Zainuddin

Apakah Najib boleh lega dengan pengakuan RPK....

Datuk Seri Najib Razak berkata beliau berterima kasih kerana kebenaran bahawa beliau dan isterinya Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor tidak terlibat dalam kes wanita Mongolia Altantuya Shaariibuu akhirnya muncul.

Perdana Menteri berkata beliau tahu yang kebenaran mengenai dakwaan dibuat editor blog Raja Petra Raja Kamaruddin menerusi akuan bersumpah (SD) pada Jun 2008 akhirnya akan terdedah satu hari.

Saya selalu menganggap perkara ini sudah tutup, kata beliau sambil menambah, ia hanya satu isu dalam mahkamah pandangan umum.

Datuk Seri Najib Razak said today he was thankful that the truth had been revealed about allegations linking him and his wife to the Altantuya murder case.

Blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin said in an interview with TV3, which was aired yesterday, that he was merely writing accusations made by others against Najib and Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor over the murder of Altantuya Sharibuu.

Ive always considered the matter closed, said Najib after launching the Seri Malaysia hotel here today.

It was only an issue in the realm of the court of public opinion, added the prime minister.

Anwar Ibrahim godam Akhbar Libration Perancis!

Sungguhpun Najib kata dia tak terlibat dalam pembunuhan Altantuya Shaaribu,persoalan2 asas berikut tetap menjadi tanda tanya.....

1. Apakaj motif pembunuhan tersebut?
2. Siapa yang mengarah pembunuhan tersebut?
3. Kenapa perlu gunakan peledak C4?
4. Bukankah Razak Baginda dan pegawai2 UTK itu rapat dengan Najib,ta! k mungki n dia tak tahu.
5. Kenapa dan Siapa mengarah maklumat2 imigresen Altantuya Shaaribu dipadam?

Selagi 5 soalan ini tak dijawab, aku masih anggap kes pembunuhan Altantuya belum selesai dan Najib perlu membersihkan dirinya.

cheers.

"The Sarawak Church betrays Jesus Christ !"

Church accepts Najib’s efforts to appease Christians

By Clara Chooi

KUCHING, April 13 — The Sarawak Church has accepted with open arms the government’s efforts to temper the Christian community’s anger over the Alkitab bibles row, saying today it considered the 10-point solution as a “statement of regret and appeal for forgiveness”.

“As a body that brings together a wide cross-section of the Christian community in Malaysia, we know about the sinfulness of man and have experienced the forgiveness of God.

“As such, we receive these expressions with all the sincerity with which they are offered,” Association of Churches Sarawak (ACS) chairman Right Reverend Datuk Bolly Lapok said after attending an hour-long meeting with the Datuk Seri Najib Razak here this evening.

The Prime Minister had summoned a meeting with church heads at the Hilton Hotel today in an apparent bid to pacify the community ahead of the coming state polls this Saturday.

According to ACS secretary-general and head elder of the church, Ambrose Linang, this is the first time a prime minister had personally initiated such discussions with church leaders in Sarawak, which is home to the country’s largest Christian population.

Christian furore was sparked off following the ministry’s move to impound two separate consignments of the holy books at the Port Klang and Kuching port here as they contained the word “Allah”.

ACS secretary-general Head Elder Ambrose Linang said today’s meeting did not touch on politics or the state election. — Pic by Choo Choy May

The government is still locked in a legal dispute with the Catholic Church over the use of the word “Allah” to refer to God by non-Muslims as Islamic enactments in 10 states prohibit this practice.

With the Sarawak polls looming, the Barisan Nasional administration scrambled to pacify the Christian community and relented to its demands by ordering the release of the books and later drafting the 10-point solution to resolve all future disputes in the matter.

“The 10-point solution is a statement of regret and appeal for forgiveness expressed by the government of Malaysia with respect to the impounding and stamping of the Bahasa Malaysia bible, the Alkitab, resonates deep within the Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM).

“We believe the government’s proposal represents a basis for further dialogue and engagement towards a viable long-term and comprehensive solution,” said Bolly.

He noted that the CFM felt the process of negotiation with the government over other issues affecting ties between the Church and the State should not be buried.

“Its constituent bodies are currently undertaking their own internal consultations prior to responding collectively to the 10-point resolution proposed by the government.

“We call for patience and perseverance and continued prayer and quiet reflection as we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us in our deliberation,” he said.

According to Ambrose, the meeting, which involved 14 church leaders within the ACS body had also touched on topics including the livelihood of the Christian community, the church’s mission schools and other pertinent issues.

“The PM said he was very sympathetic to our schools and pledged his commitment,” he said.

When asked if politics and the state election had been brought up during the meet, Ambrose said, “No”.

“No, nothing about politics. We are non-partisan, we never talk about politics,” he said.

He also denied that discussions had touched on the brewing Allah controversy that is still trapped in the courts.

“It is a very good gesture of the prime minister whereby in the ninth point of the 10-point solution, he said he himself would be committed to meeting with representatives of all faiths.

“We are personally very touched by that,” he said.

Najib dan Taib Mahmud tak tunai janji PRK Batang Ai April 2009....

Peruntukan jutaan ringgit yang ditabur Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak dan Ketua Menteri Sarawak, Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud pada Pilihan Raya Kecil Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Batang Air, pada April 2009 bukti jelas kepimpinan itu gagal menunaikan janji.

Pengarah Pilihan Raya KEADILAN Sarawak, Nicholas Bawin anak Anggat berkata, sebagai bukti, pengumuman BN sebanyak RM3.4 juta kononnya untuk membaiki rumah-rumah panjang penduduk di kawasan itu sehingga kini tidak dilunaskan.

Begitu juga janji membaiki jalan raya di Parlimen Lubok Antu-Bulo dengan pengumuman RM13 juta, Zon Industri Agrikultur RM630 juta bagi kemudahan pelancongan, Kompleks Polis Daerah Lubok Antu, Kompleks Kuarantin Imigresen dan Kastam (CIQ) Lubok Antu, Pejabat Daerah Lubok Antu serta Engkilili yang turut diumumkan Barisan Nasional (BN) bernilai RM59.83 juta. Namun semua itu sekadar janji dan ternyata pengumuman BN setiap kali pilihan raya sekadar pengumuman semata-mata, katanya kepada Keadilan Daily.

Najib pada 7 April lalu meluluskan peruntukan RM3 juta untuk membina sebuah masjid bagi Parlimen Santubong. Beliau juga mengumumkan peruntukan RM4.5 juta untuk penyelidikan ikan empurau, sejenis ikan air tawar yang hampir pupus di Sarawak. Beliau turut meluluskan peruntukan sebanyak RM1 juta bagi menampung pembinaan masjid baru bagi kampung Sebuyau pada 13 April lalu.

Nicholas yang juga Ketua Cabang KEADILAN Batang Air menegaskan, sekiranya BN menang lagi pada pilihan raya negeri kali ini, segala janji yang ditabur di seluruh negeri itu ketika ini hanya janji semata-mata.

Saya mengajak seluruh rakyat Sarawak agar jangan tertipu dengan janji yang semakin banyak ditabur dan diumumkan BN sepanjang kempe! n piliha n raya Sarawak kali ini. Ambillah iktibar apa yang dilakukan BN di Batang Air pada PRK lalu, katanya.

PRK Batang Air diadakan pada 7 April 2009 yang menyaksikan calon KEADILAN, Jawah Gerang tewas lebih 1,000 undi dengan BN mengumumkan pelbagai janji mencecah jutaan ringgit.

Najib juga mengakui semua janji itu akan ditunaikan selepas PRK namun sehingga kini memungkirinya. Pada pilihan raya kali ini, KEADILAN menawarkan Nicholas sebagai calonnya untuk menawan DUN itu di mana beliau hanya tewas pada pilihan raya negeri 2006 kira-kira 800 undi sahaja.

Nicholas, graduan dari Institut Teknologi Mara (ITM), kini dikenali sebagai UiTM merupakan aktivis sosial dan terkenal sebagai pejuang Tanah Hak Adat Bumiputera (NCR) di Sarawak. Beliau juga merupakan bekas Timbalan Pengerusi Majlis Adat Istiadat Sarawak dan cukup memahami tuntutan rakyat khasnya masyarakat Iban yang majoritinya mendiami DUN Batang Air.

Selain itu, Nicholas juga merupakan bekas Ahli Lembaga Pengarah Sarawak Electricity Supply Corporation sekaligus calon sesuai di DUN itu yang antara masalah yang membelenggu penduduk adalah ketiadaan bekalan air dan elektrik.

Ceramah Pakatan di S'wak terus hangat....

Meskipun terus dipulaukan media arus perdana, ceramah Pakatan Rakyat di Sarawak terus menjadi tarikan masyarakat di Sarawak.

Di Sri Aman, lebih 1,000 orang bagi mendengar ceramah DAP oleh pemimpin veterannya, Lim Kit Siang.

Ini dikatakan ceramah terbesar yang pernah diadakan di Sri Aman sejak hari penamaan calon.Selain kehadiran lebih 1,000 orang, majlis itu berjaya mengutip RM8,252 sumbangan daripada penyokong DAP.

Meskipun hujan renyai, hadirin tidak berganjak apabila Kit Siang mula berucap sambil dipayungkan oleh seorang penyokong DAP. Menurutnya, pertelagahan antara Najib dan Taib membuktikan ketua menteri lebih 30 tahun itu tidak berhasrat melepaskan jawatannya.

"Jika bukan kerana ahli parlimen dari Sabah dan Sarawak, Najib sudah menjadi ketua pembangkang di Parliament. Sebab itu beliau tidak berani memaksa Taib letak jawatan, kata Lim.

Calon DAP untuk kerusi Kota Sentosa di Kuching, Chong Chieng Jen, juga datang membantu rakannya, Leon Donalad, calon Simanggang. Simanggang adalah kerusi majoriti pengundi Iban yang terletak di bandar Sri Aman.

Katanya, pembinaan infrastruktur di Kuching dipercepatkan oleh kerajaan BN setelah pembangkang menawan kerusi Kuching. "Lagi awak tolaknya (parti pemerintah BN), lagi baik dia akan layan awak.

"Jadi kita mesti bagi tahu BN, kita mahu hospital baru (tetapi) kita juga mahu undi DAP! katanya merujuk kepada pengumuman Najib berhubung pembinaan sebuah hospital baru, tiga hari lalu. Ceramah DAP di Miri yang menampilkan calon PKR bagi kerusi Senadin, Michael Teo, pula menarik kehadiran tidak kurang 4,000 orang.

Antara pencermahnya termasuk pengerusi DAP Sarawak, Wong Ho Leng, timbalan ketua m! enteri P ulau Pinang, P Ramakrishnan, ahli parlimen Taiping Nga Kor Ming, ahli parlimen Bukit Bintang Fong Kui Lun, ahli parlimen Kota Kinabalu Hiew King Cheu dan exco Pulau Pinang Chow Kon Yeow.

DAP holds its first open-air ceramah in this quiet town of Sri Aman, attracting a crowd of over 1,000, the biggest since nomination day. RM8,252 is raised from the crowd so far.

Tonight, DAP candidate for Kota Sentosa in Kuching, Chong Chieng Jen, comes to reinforce his comrade, Leon Donalad, the candidate for Simanggang. Simanggang is an Iban-majority rural seat that encompasses Sri Aman town.

Aiming to quell the 'development politics' of BN, he cites the examples of several infrastructures at Kuching construction of which were sped up after the opposition won in the constituency.

"The more you reject him (the ruling BN), the better he will treat you. "So we must tell BN, we want the new hospital, (but) we also want to vote for DAP!" he cries, referring to the construction of new Sri Aman Hospital announced by Najib two days ago.

According to DAP Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi who is the emcee, the police have instructed the organisers to stop the ceramah. Sri Aman police had earlier told DAP that open-air ceramah are not allowed here. However, Ooi only asks the crowd to move closer to the stage to avoid obstructing traffic. The fiery ceramah continues with Klang MP Charles Santiago taking over the stage.

A DAP ceramah at Jalan Merdu draws about 4,000 people, although more are still arriving. DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng is scheduled to speak later tonight. DAP candidate for Padungan Wong King Wei says this state poll is th! e dirtie st ever election in Sarawak history. "The people must stay with us to counter this 'dirtiest ever' election," he says.

It starts to drizzle just as DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang starts his speech. More than half of the 1,000-strong crowd who are without umbrellas are leaving the venue as they are without umbrellas, leaving only those with umbrellas to soldier on although Lim is still in the midst of his speech.

A party worker is holding an umbrella for Lim while he speaks on the allegedly corrupt 30 years of CM Taib's rule.

Lim points out that the apparent bickering between Najib and Taib over the latter's departure plan shows that Najib has failed to show Taib the exit.

"If not for the MPs from Sabah and Sarawak, Najib would have become opposition leader in Parliament. That's why he dares not force Taib to step down."

Lim Guan Eng's last kopek in Kuching....

DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng swept Kuching off her feet last night in his final swing at the capital city before Saturdays election, entertaining thousands with jokes, songs and more anti-Pek Moh tales.

The Penang chief minister, standing on a makeshift podium outside the CH101 coffeeshop at the MJC New Township in Batu Kawah, was in his element as he delivered his speech to a crowd that numbered to at least 6,000 people.

Families, couples and individuals, some hugging the colourful plush Ubah toy in their arms, clambered to the venue and stood shoulder to shoulder for hours to listen to Lim and other Pakatan Rakyat leaders (PR) speak.
They clogged the street in front of the coffeeshop that stretched out for over 200 metres, gathering around Lim and four projector screens that were set up outside the five-foot way in front of the shoplots. When there was no longer any standing room on the road, the crowd was forced to watch the leaders from the large park facing the shophouse, some standing on chairs to get a better view.

Deftly switching from Bahasa Malaysia to English and then to Hokkien, Mandarin and come Cantonese, Lim urged constituents to ubah (change) their present leadership and opt for PR.

The leader thundered the Ngap sayop battle cry numerous times to further stir the high-spirited crowd, using the infamous phrase in Sarawak football that means easy to beat.

My friends, this is a very crucial election because if we can show that we dare to oppose the Barisan Nasional, we can bring about change not only in Sarawak but also in Malaysia.

On April 16, if we can vote for the rocket (DAP) and PR, against the BN, this will be the end of the corruption practised by (Chief M! inister Tan Sri Abdul) Taib Mahmud for 30 years, he said.

Taib, he said, was growing desperate in his struggle to retain power in Sarawak and had employed underhanded tactics to boost his campaign.

Many online sites cannot be accessed. He is doing what Hosni Mubarak and Ben Ali did. He is closing free online websites so that people will not know what is going on, he said.

A view of the large crowd which turned up for the ceramah last night, April 13, 2011.Lim was referring to reports of the distribution denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks on several sites of late, including online news portal Malaysiakini and the anti-Taib Sarawak Report blog.

They can shut us down for a day but not forever. On April 16, let us shut down Taib Mahmud himself, can we do that? he asked. The crowd shouted Yes! in response.

Lim also spoke on the numerous allegations of corruption against Taib, including the chief ministers purported sale of large hectares of valuable land to cronies at below market rate.

This is not satu Malaysia (1 Malaysia), this is sapu Malaysia (wipeout Malaysia), he said, leaving the audience in stitches.

The prime minister comes here and now he says BN can win two-thirds. Support has naik (improved). Naik apa? Barang naik! (prices up).

We export oil but the prices of oil have risen. Sarawak has oil but yet the prices go up. Who suffers? You suffer.

But Taib says you suffer, its OK. As long as I dont suffer, you can suffer, its your problem, he said.

Lim also told the audience of the Global Integrity Report that showed that Malaysia had lost RM888 billion in illicit capital outflow in the past decade. This one, not I say... this one Washington said so no way I can lie. What is illicit funds outflow? It is corruption money, duit kopi.

If we divide that sum between us, we have to use a massive calculator because it has too many numbers. But if we divide it, then each Malaysian will be RM33,000 richer, he said.

The crowd jeered in response.

He pointed to his experience as chief minister in Penang, promising voters here that under a PR government their lives would flourish under fairer policies.

In Penang, every senior citizen is given RM100 each year. The young get free Wifi. If Penang can do, then Sarawak also can do. Here, we will give you not RM100, but RM600, you want or not? he said, inviting screams of yes! from the audience.

Mau ubah (want change)? Mau tak? he said. Then ubah on April 16. If not, there will be no hope and all business opportunities will be given to Pek Moh and his children.

Charged up from the speech, one man from the audience pumped his Ubah toy in the air and shouted, Say goodbye to Pek Moh! Feeding off the crowds response, Lim belted out the popular Nobody song made famous by Wondergirls, a South Korean all-girl group.

We should sing! If we can create change, we can sing to Pek Moh the Wondergirls song. Do you know it? I want nobody, nobody but you! I want nobody, nobody but you! he said, singing the chorus.

But Lim said the lyrics of the song should be tailored to match the peoples message to Taib. If we can win on April 16, we can sing to Pek Moh. You want to sing together? Lets sing now, sing to Pek Moh. I want no money, no money for you! I want no money, no money for you! he sang.

Lim even convinced the crowd to clap twice at the end of each sentence and they played along with the chief minister, clapping merrily as they echoed the altered lyrics of the song in unison. I know you have some fondness for BN. But things have cha! nged, Li m said.

Taib has ruled in Sarawak for a record 30 years, making him the countrys longest-serving chief minister.

Jom ubah! Ngap sayop! April 16, let us write history in Batu Kawah. Only when we do can we achieve a miracle in Sarawak and in Malaysia.

All eyes in Kuching are on Batu Kawah and all eyes in Sarawak are on Batu Kawah, he said, before ending his speech.

The DAP is said to be facing an uphill battle in its quest for Batu Kawah, a long-time SUPP stronghold.

The party has fielded Christina Chiew, its youngest candidate at 27 years old, who will face off with the seats incumbent assistant minister in the Chief Ministers Department Tan Joo Phoi.

After Lim addressed the crowd, the crowd surprisingly did not disperse and stayed on to listen to other headliners including PKRs Batu Lintang candidate See Chee How, PKR vice-president Chua Tian Chang and PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Md Akin.

Across the state, similar ceramahs held by the opposition force were reported to have drawn similarly large turnouts over the past few days.

In Taib's stronghold, PKR taps into vein of discontent

The opposition gained some sense of the spreading discontent against the powers-that-be from what transpired at a PKR rally in Bandar Baru Mukah on Tuesday evening.

The township is in Balingian, the bailiwick of Chief Minister Taib Mahmud, where he is being challenged by Suriati Abdullah (left) of PKR, and by an estranged cousin, Salleh Jafaruddin, who is running as an independent.

Bandar Baru Mukah is smack in Melanau country. If any strand of Sarawak's dizzying ethnic mosaic ought to be happy with the state's administration, dominated in the last 40 years by members of this minority, it is the Melanau.

The size of the crowd - something like 600 people - a number said to be unusual for an opposition-held ceramah in these parts; the attempted disruptions by BN stooges and the endurance of the crowd despite the disruptions; their favourable reaction to what the speakers said about the situation in the state - all attested the prevalence of discontent among the people over issues ranging from abuse of land rights to environmental degradation.

The speakers were PKR supreme council member Faris Musa, candidate Suriati and former deputy minister Dr Tan Kee Kwong, all competent PKR publicists, though not exactly stellar draws.

But from the crowd's reception to their raising of issues that were clearly of concern to Mukah's residents, the speakers succeeded in conveying the message that political change must come to the state as otherwise matters for the people would get worse.

Concern over mega-smelter

The issue alluded to by the speakers that stirred the most concern was emissions from the billion-ringgit aluminum smelting plant, located 25 kilometers from Mu! kah town . Effluent from the plant is dumped into the sea off the Mukah coast between 1 and 2am every night.

Since the plant began operations a few years ago, the vegetation for miles around the plant has withered and birds for the swiftlet-breeding industry in Mukah have virtually disappeared.

"Clearly, the aluminum smelter has damaged the environment in and around the Mukah township," said Tan, who was the evening's main speaker.

"The disposal of effluent from the plant in the waters off Mukah will have long-term effects on the health of the people," he continued.

"The effects on the vegetation and on bird life are already plain for all to see, but the effects on the health of human beings will take years to register and by then it will be too late," added the medical practitioner, who was a former deputy minister of land and cooperative development from Gerakan in the BN government before he joined PKR in 2009.

PKR target: Reduce Taib's majority

Tan told the crowd that Sarawak was a rich state in natural resources but up to a half-million of its young have had to leave the state to find employment in Johor, Penang, Selangor and Singapore, including the migration abroad of the tertiary-qualified.

"Your riches have been reduced to poverty, the diversity and wealth of your environment brought to degradation and damage to your health," he said. "All this is not due to the politics of development; it is the result of the greed of leadership that cannot distinguish between their interest and the interest of the people," he told the crowd. "The election is your chance to change your fate and the fate of your children," he asserted.

Later, Tan told Malays iakini that from the size of the crowd and its reaction to PKR's message, Suriati's chances of reducing Taib's customary large winning margin were good though an upset was improbable. -terence netto

I am confused..Who killed Althantuya ?

1. The master spinner, RPK did it again. His interview with TV3 Now hits the the headlines of all major pro government media. From a tactical point of view, I disagree with timing of the interview but from the content point of view, he is consistent on the issue on hand. Unfortunately, many people jump to the conclusion for failing to appreciate RPK artful style of writing. He is asking the police to investigate his SD but it seems the authorities is not interested.

2. The court may well have come to a conclusion that the two UTK officers did it but that does mean that the responsibility of the crime starts and end there. In the movie National treasure, Harvey Keitel who acted as an investigator told Nicolas cage that someone has to go to jail, NC did just that. He assisted Harvey in ensuring that someone is caught and sent straight to jail. The scenario is not much different in the murder of Althanthuya.

3. It seems that our investigators refused to go into the details of the issues. They are more interested to solve the immediate cause of the crime. There isnt any need to probe further. RPK may say whatever he likes in whatever style he wants. The basic questions remains:

(a) Who actually orders it?
(b) Whats their motivation?
(c) Why were explosives used?
(d) Who and why did the immigration deleted AS records.

4. Until such times when the above questions are satisfactory answered, it is only reasonable for the people to believe that the trilogy of murder,submarines and Razak et al is indeed a high level conspiracy. It is as if the government wants the people to believe just that by not pressuring the authorities to probe and release all details. Maybe we need an RCI here.

Sarawakians fighting to be heard

Umno should understand what the majority of Sarawakians are craving for now.

Sarawakians are striving for their own amour propre just as Umno in 1946 was driven by an overpowering desire to retain the Malay amour propre.

Umno fought for liberation from oppression.

This is the philosophical basis of the political developments in Sarawak at the moment.

Just as Umno fought for Malay self-esteem, that same desire must be recognized to exist in the bosoms of every self-respecting Sarawakian today.

Any self-respecting Umno member must therefore stand in solidarity not opposed to the desire of Sarawakians to get the same self-respect.

So, what did Umno fight against? It fought against colonial domination.

Why was it important for Umno to do so?

Let me quote Frantz Fanon, whose book The Wretched of the Earth, I think is read by so many people in the world.

In a speech before the Congress of African Writers, Fanon said: Colonial domination, because it is total and tends to over-simplify, very soon manages to disrupt in spectacular fashion the cultural life of a conquered people.

This cultural obliteration is made possible by the negation of national reality, by new legal relations introduced by the occupying power, by the banishment of the natives and their customs to outlying districts by colonial society, by expropriation, and by the systematic enslaving of men and women.

Colonial power

Is this what is happening to the people of Sarawak since Chief Minister Taib Mahmud took over some 30 years ago?

Though not a colonial power in its true sense, Taib took over as the colonizing power.

When he did, in the ensuing years as in a colonial situation, dynamism is replaced fairly quickly by a su! bstantif ication of the attitudes of the colonising power.

In other words Taib did indeed become the new White Rajah. The once oppressed creature now adopts many of the values so detested by him and he now becomes the new oppressor.

The once colonized person then throws himself in frenzied fashion into the frantic acquisition of the culture of the occupying power.

Umno should have understood this, because it started with the same fired up idealism to get rid of colonizing power.

It must understand that colonial exploitation and poverty drove the native more and more to join an open, organized revolt.

The necessity for an open and decisive breach is formed progressively and imperceptibly.

Those tensions which hitherto were non-existent come into being.

International events, the collapse of whole sections of neo-colonial empires such as those exemplified by Tunisia and Egypt and the contradictions inherent in the colonial system strengthen and uphold the natives combativity while promoting and giving support to a new consciousness.

What has taken place since Taib took over was the imposition of autocratic rule of one man which led in turn the imposition of neo-colonial values.

Reaping what we sow

It was a mistake for Taib and others to imagine such imposition did not create repercussions.

It did and now, we are reaping what we sowed.

The widespread revolt against Taib and by extension against Umno and BN because they support the perpetuation of Taibs colonial values, is really an expression of the collective will to be liberated.

Hence we find the themes behind the social expressions being altered.

We find less and less of bitter, hopeless recrimination and less also of that violent, resounding, florid writing which on the whole serves to reassure the colonising power.

Taibs neo-colonialist mindset was perceptive enough to have encouraged these modes of expression and made their existence possible! .

By giving outlets for such expressions including stinging denunciations, the exposing of distressing conditions and passions, such articulations are in fact assimilated by the Taibs government in a cathartic process.

To aid such processes is in a certain sense to avoid their dramatisation and to clear the atmosphere.

But as Taib is to find out, such a situation can only be transitory.

In fact, the progress of national consciousness among the people modifies and gives precision to the literary utterances of the native intellectual.

Intellectual invitation

The continued cohesion of the people constitutes for the intellectual an invitation to go farther than his cry of protest.

The lament first makes the indictment; then it makes an appeal. In the period that follows, the words of command are heard.

What replaced the pliant and submissive mindset is the taking up, powerful articulations and clarification of themes which are typically nationalist.

A struggle which mobilises all classes of the people and which expresses their aims and their impatience, which is not afraid to count almost exclusively on the peoples support, will of necessity triumph.

So why do we condemn Umno? Because now it is time to denounce certain Pharisees.

By perpetuating the rule of the new colonial masters, we are in fact standing on the side of the oppressors.

We, who started as genuine nationalists have now become retarded nationalists denying others a right to attain that national consciousness.

We have to set our mistakes aright.

By siding with Taib, we are making the fatal mistake of treating the expression of liberation by Sarawak as just transitory.

That can prove to be our own undoing.

Raja Petra Bakal Melompat....?

Apa Hairan Lah, Kan DAP Pun Berhasrat Nak Join BN ?

Mana mungkin seorang yang dibenci Barisan Nasional boleh mendapat tempat di Buletin Utama TV3suku. Mengapa TV3suku tidak temuramah Anwar Ibrahim, Kak Wan, Husam Musa, Mahfuz Omar secara mereka menemuramah Raja Petra Raja Kamaruddin?

Ada kemungkinan, Raja Petra sudah mendapat tempat di hati UMNO terutamanya di hati Najib Tun Razak. Semua ini mungkin ada kaitan dengan hubungan Raja Petra bersama John Soh Chee Wen, yakni bekas pimpinan MCA itu.

Kenyataan terbaru beliau menafikan Najib dan Rosmah terlibat sepenuhnya di dalam pembunuhan AlTantunya. Tak tau berapa tan duit beliau dapat kerana membuat kenyataan sebegitu secara umum. Saya harap tiada.

Sebenarnya Tulang Besi telah mendengar perkara ini sudah agak lama. Penubuhan MLCM pun ada kena mengena dengan usaha UMNO memecahkan dan melemahkan Pakatan Rakyat. Syukur kepada Allah kerana MLCM gagal memainkan peranan di dalam memecahkan Pakatan Rakyat dan sokongan rakyat kepadanya.

Akhirnya, MLCM terpaksa mengaku kalah dan terpaksa mengisytiharkan mereka tidak akan bertanding 3 penjuru dengan Pakatan Rakyat.

RAJA PETRA BAKAL DIGUNAKAN UNTUK MENGAITKAN ANWAR DENGNA VIDEO BLUE RAHIM THAMBY CHIK?

Artikel terbaru Raja Petra bertajuk "Indonesian have more principles than Malaysians". Soal saya kepada Raja Petra adalah mengapa artikel tersebut hanya mengandungi contoh-contoh ahli politik Indonesia yang terpalit dengan skandal seks sahaja? Sedangkan dari pengalaman Tulang Besi, jauh lebih ramai ahli2 politik Indonesia yang terpaksa meletak jawatan kerana skandal kewangan ataupun skandal salah guna kuasa.

Tapi, mengapa dalam artikel ini, Raja Petra hanya mengambil contoh skandal2 seks sahaja?

Kita lihat sahaja sambung temuramah Raja Petra besok malam. Saya yakin besok Raja Petra akan mula menyebarkan fitnah terhadap Anwar Ibrahim.

S! aya mema ng dah lama agak Raja Petra akan melompat. Susah kita hendak mempercayai orang yang menolak Hadeeth Nabi SAW.

Ingat, beliau pernah di tangkap ISA dan tidak mustahil beliau telah di "turn-over" sewaktu dalam tahanan.

Sekian

Mana Pulak Datangnya Kad Pendaftaran jam OMEGA tu?????

NOTA EDITOR: Syabas kepada Anak Sungai Derhaka kerana menaikkan isu ini. Maknanya, selepas ini kita kena terima "kenyataan" bahawa Anwar telah pergi melakukan seks dengan pelacur dengan membawa jam dan kad "warranty" jam sekali. Benda yang tiada siapa yang siuman dalam dunia ini buat.

Kahkahkah terkantoi lagi UMNO dan Najib.

Omega : Kad pendaftaran jam datang dari mana pulak?


Kata Timbalan Pengarah Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah, Datuk Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani berkata polis telah menyerahkan kad pendaftaran jam itu kepada syarikat yang mengedarnya bagi tujuan pengesahan siapa pemiliknya.

Kad pendaftaran jam??

Kebanyakkan barangan mewah yang dikeluarkan untuk pasaran biasanya mempunyai nombor siri yang dicetak dan biasanya ianya akan disertakan dengan warranty card dan pembeli juga akan diberikan kad pendaftaran barangan itu.

Kad pendaftaran dan warranty card ini biasanya tidak diusung kehulu kehilir oleh pembeli barangan tersebut, biarpun barangan itu merupakan sebuah beg tangan hatta ianya Prada sekalipun takut nanti orang kata gila. Kad tersebut pasti akan ditinggalkan di rumah.


Tapi berita dibawah ini menceritakan sebaliknya.. ianya menceritakan bahawa pemilik jam Omega yang dikatakan dicuri oleh China Doll itu seolah-olah membawa kad pendaftaran atau melekatkan kad pendaftaran tersebut pada jam yang dipakainya dan menayangkannya kehulu kehilir apa cerita ni??

Adakah pemilik jam Omega itu memang gila kerana memakai Jam Omega itu bersama dengan kad pendaftarannya sehingga ianya ditemui oleh China doll itu? atau jam tersebut baru dibeli?

Tapi hari tu Datuk T kata dia telah menyerahkan hanya Video dan jam sahaja kepada polis.. dari mana datangnya kad pendaftaran ni?

Jurucakap The Swatch Group (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, pengedar jam Omega di negara ini menjelaskan setiap jam Omega mempunyai ! nombor s iri yang dicetak pada jam sebagai jaminan untuk membolehkan pengguna menuntut ganti rugi sepanjang tempoh jaminan dua tahun.

Katanya, nombor siri tidak direkodkan oleh syarikat pengedar berkenaan sebaliknya hanya direkodkan oleh penjual dalam kad jaminan.

Tanya kawan aku MiloSuam - Persoalannya di sini, bagaimanakah Polis memperolehi kad pendaftaran jam Omega tersebut? Bukankah kad pendaftaran seperti ini diperolehi semasa jam Omega tersebut dibeli? Secara logiknya, pihak Polis telah menerima kad pendaftaran jam ini daripada Dato T. Maka persoalan yang lebih penting ialah, dari mana Dato T dapat kad pendaftaran jam Omega tersebut?- MiloSuam

Identiti Pemilik Jam Omega Akan Diketahui
KUALA LUMPUR, 11 April Identiti pemilik jam tangan jenama Omega yang diserahkan kepada polis berhubung kes rakaman video aksi seks didakwa melibatkan pelaku dilaporkan mirip Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim akan diketahui tidak lama lagi, kata polis.

Timbalan Pengarah Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah, Datuk Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani berkata polis telah menyerahkan kad pendaftaran jam itu kepada syarikat yang mengedarnya bagi tujuan pengesahan siapa pemiliknya.

Sebelum ini kita telah memberikan tempoh seminggu untuk syarikat itu memberikan jawapan, namun sehingga kini tiada sebarang jawapan diberikan, katanya di sini hari ini.

Jam tangan itu dilaporkan merupakan antara dua bukti, selain rakaman video seks, yang diserahkan oleh ahli perniagaan Datuk Shazryl Eskay Abdullah serta bekas Ketua Menteri Melaka Tan Sri Rahim Thamby Chik dan Bendahari Perkasa, Datuk Shuib Lazim kepada polis bagi tujuan siasatan berhubung video itu.

Jam itu dilaporkan ditemui di bilik aksi seks berkenaan berlaku. Dalam satu sidang akhbar sebelum ini, Anwar, yang ditanya mengenai jam tangannya berkata, jam tangan beliau ada pada isterinya, Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Ismail.

Semalam pula, pada satu sidang akhbar di Kuching, ketika ditanya kenapa jam itu tidak diserahkan kepada polis, Anwar berkata polis tidak memint! a jam it u dan biarlah polis yang minta.

Acryl Sani, ketika ditanya sama ada polis akan memanggil Anwar untuk menunjukkan jam itu, berkata: Kita perlu selesaikan soal identiti pemiliknya sebelum mengambil langkah susulan. Keutamaan kita (ialah) pada siasatan video dahulu, baru jam dan lain-lain lagi, katanya.

Ketika ditanya mengenai perkembangan siasatan kes rakaman video itu, beliau berkata ada beberapa perkara kecil perlu dikemaskini dan siasatan mungkin dapat diselesaikan dalam minggu ini dan kertas siasatan dapat dihantar semula ke pejabat Peguam Negara untuk semakan dan perbincangan lanjut.

Ada beberapa perkara membabitkan keterangan perlu diberi gambaran semula. Walaupun ada keterangan kecil yang telah diambil tetapi ianya juga penting bagi membantu siasatan, katanya.

Siasatan polis itu dibuat berikutan laporan yang dibuat oleh Anwar pada 22 Mac yang menafikan bahawa dirinya adalah lelaki dalam video berkenaan.

Ketika ditanya mengenai perkembangan siasatan berhubung kes memuat naik video seks itu ke sebuah laman web, Acryl Sani berkata polis menerima salinan asal dan tidak tahu siapa yang memuat naik video itu.

Soal siapa dan bagaimana ianya diedarkan awak kena tanya Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Komersial yang sedang siasat, katanya. Ketika ditanya mengenai identiti seorang wanita dalam rakaman video seks itu, Acryl Sani berkata polis masih lagi mengesan identiti dan lokasi wanita itu berada.

Police tracing the owner of Omega watch
KUALA LUMPUR: Police are ascertaining the ownership of an Omega wristwatch which was handed over to the police in connection with the investigation into a sex video featuring a man resembling Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.

CID deputy director Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said police had sent the luxury watchs registration card to the distributor to ascertain its ownership.

We have given the company two weeks to reply but have not received any yet, he told reporters here.

Businessman Shazryl Eskay A! bdullah, former Malacca chief minister Rahim Thamby Chik and ex-Perkasa treasurer Shuib Lazim, collectively known as the Datuk T trio, said they had handed over the watch, allegedly taken from the room where the sex act was recorded, to the police along with the sex video.

At a news conference previously, Anwar, who was asked about his watch, said it was being kept by his wife Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

Yesterday at a news conference in Kuching, Anwar, who was asked why the watch was not handed over to the police, said the police had never asked for it. Acryl Sani, when asked whether the police would ask the opposition leader to produce his watch, said the police would have to establish the ownership of the watch that was handed over to them before making any further move.

Our priority is on the probe into the video, and then the watch and other matters, he said. He indicated that they might be able to establish the watchs ownership soon.

Penduduk Kapit Keluar Sambut Anwar....

Kegiatan harian pekan Kapit terhenti seketika apabila ribuan penduduk keluar beramai-ramai mengalu-alukan lawatan Ketua Pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim ke kawasan yang terpencil di bumi Sarawak itu.

Anwar menaiki feri dari pelabuhan Sibu untuk perjalanan melalui Sungai Rejang yang memakan masa selama tiga jam sebelum sampai ke destinasinya. Lebih dua ribu penduduk meyambut ketibaan beliau serta rombongan.

Sambil melaungkan "Hidup Anwar, Hidup PKR" masyarakat Kapit yang majoritinya kaum Iban berpusu-pusu dan berbaris panjang untuk menerima tetamu mereka.

Lawatan Anwar dan sambutan yang diterimanya menandakan Pakatan Rakyat menembusi kawasan pendalaman Satawak yang paling jauh yang dikenali sebagai "Pulau Kapit" kerana perjalanan hanya boleh dilakukan melalui jalan sungai.

"Kami sangat gembira Datuk Anwar datang ke Kapit. Kami sayang kepadanya kerana dia bela nasib rakyat miskin," kata seorang wanita pertengahan umur.

Malah suasana sesak di jalan raya pekan Kapait apabila ramai pemandu menghulurkan tangan mereka untuk bersalaman dengan Ketua Umum Parti Keadilan itu.

"Kapit kami beri kepada PKR, memang kami sudah benci dengan ini BN. Pemimpin mereka tidak pernah datang melawat kami, hanya datang setakat terminal feri sahaja," kata seorang lagi penduduk Kapit.

Sejurus tiba di terminal feri Kapit Anwar memulakan program beliau dengan berjalan disekitar pekan itu untuk menemui penduduk.

Kapit mempunyai dua kawasan Dewan Undangan Negeri iaitu N54 Pelagus dan N56 Baleh. Kedua-dua kerusi ditandingi oleh KEADILAN masing-masing oleh Edward Sumbang ak Asun dan Franky Bendinang ak Majah.

Pelagus mempunyai 14,550 pengundi manakala Baleh kira-kira 10,500 pengundi berdaftar.

"Please sympathize with Ah Siang ... Kill Taib, Kill UMNO, Kill BN !"

Pakatan victory in Sarawak catalyst for future Putrajaya win, says Kit Siang

By Shazwan Mustafa Kamal

April 13, 2011

Pakatan Rakyat rallies across the state have drawn massive crowds. — Pic by Choo Choy May

KUALA LUMPUR, April 13 — A Pakatan Rakyat (PR) win in Sarawak this coming April 16 could lead to PR taking over federal power in the upcoming general elections, Lim Kit Siang said today.

The DAP parliamentary leader has urged Sarawakians to reject Barisan Nasional (BN) — specifically Chief Minister Tan Sri Taib Mahmud and Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 1 Malaysia policy “sham”, saying that a unified vote against BN in the hornbill state would lead to other states falling to the federal opposition.

“If on April 16, the voters of Sarawak vote in clear and unequivocal terms for Peh Moh (Taib) to go and signifying to Najib that his signature 1 Malaysia policy is a sham degenerating into a “1 T-shirt, 1 Tupperware” circus, then “416” will presage a greater Malaysian political tsunami in the 13th national elections where more states could fall to Pakatan Rakyat — and even the Putrajaya seat of federal power,” said Lim in a statement.

Lim said that PR has so far received favourable response from voters in Kuching, Sibu, Bintangor, Sarikei, Bintulu and Miri.

The veteran politician said that polling day this Saturday would go down in the country’s history as another “major milestone” to reclaim the birthrights of all Sarawakians and Malaysians to become “full, equal and free citizens” of the country.

“The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, has also turned the Sarawak state general election into a national general election by “closing down” Putrajaya for six days and directed his entire Cabinet to plunge into the election campaign in Sarawak.

“Polling day on April 16 has therefore become not only an inquest into the 30-year rule of Peh Moh in Sarawak but Najib’s two-year Prime Ministership,” said Lim.

Kit Siang says April 16 will be a litmus test for both Taib and Najib. — File pic

According to Lim, signs of BN losing its grip in Sarawak was imminent with MCA president Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek and Gerakan’s Tan Sri Dr. Koh Tsu Koon campaigning in the state to “save” the Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) from electoral defeat.

“I can sense the outrage of SUPP founders and veteran members who in their fifties, sixties and seventies had utter contempt for MCA and Gerakan leaders and principles — but now George Chan and his 2011 band of SUPP leaders hope to be “saved” by MCA’s Chua Soi Lek and Gerakan’s Koh Tsu Koon when these two leaders cannot save their own parties in Peninsular Malaysia!” added Lim.

PR is confident of Sarawak’s urban vote on polling day this Saturday, but BN appears to have a lock on its rural interior — to ensure the desired two-thirds state assembly majority.

However, positive reports continue to stream in for Pakatan Rakyat (PR) from across all 71 state constituencies, offering the pact hope that it can take on BN.

Although its leaders prefer to stay cautious, the consistent turnouts at its rallies and encouraging responses from constituents have led them to admit that their confidence level have outpaced their own expectations.

All three PR parties — PKR, DAP and PAS — have declared that they would increase their seats but stopped short of saying that Sarawak would fall into its hands after Saturday.

This is the first state-wide election the newborn alliance is contesting under the PR umbrella and is the pact’s rehearsal for the coming federal election, which has to be called by 2013.

While the contest is said to be a referendum on BN’s waning popularity in East Malaysia, it will also serve as a litmus test for PR to prove its popularity has grown since its shock victories in the tsunami of Election 2008.

But opposition party sources are concerned over rumours that BN’s final push in its campaign would come in the form of a major handout to PR’s lost opposition ally, Sarawak National Party (SNAP), which is contesting against PKR in 26 seats.

This, said sources, was tailored to split the opposition vote and guarantee a BN victory.

Sarawak will head to the polls to decide the next state government this April 16.

A total of 979,796 are eligible to cast their ballots, with the Chinese community forming the largest segment of the electorate, followed by Ibans, Malay/Melanaus, Bidayuhs and Orang Ulus.
