NFC denies paying fat paycheques

KUALA LUMPUR: The National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) today rubbished allegations that directors of the company have been receiving huge unjustifiable salaries.

In a statement today, NFC executive director Wan Shahinur Izmir Salleh clarified that the directors were earning nowhere near the overstated figures.

He said the relevant authorities have been given the information on their payroll and the bank statements to match.

"The highly exaggerated figures first emerged from a mysterious prank blogger who had drawn the media's attention to it. Since then, the blogger has disappeared and his erroneous post continues to be picked up by the public," Wan Shahinur said.

Today, DAP's Ipoh Timor MP Lim Kit Siang repeated the claim that the salaries of NFC directors collectively amounted to RM215,000 per month.

Lim alleged that Mohamad Salleh Ismail – the husband of Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil – draws RM100,000 salary monthly as NFC chairman.

He said their son Wan Shahinur Izmir, 31, is paid RM45,000 as executive director, while another son Wan Shahinur Izran, 27, earns RM35,000 as chief executive officer.

He said their daughter Wan Izzanah Fatimah, 25, allegedly draws RM35,000 a month as the other director.

PKR has distanced itself from that claim.

Police clearance

Wan Shahinur also said the public should not be unduly alarmed by such postings on the Internet that gave distorted and incorrect information.

"The facts are with the relevant authorities," he said.

He also reiterated that despite the assets of the company being frozen by the authorities, operations at NFC are continuing as normal so that nationwide beef supplies are not disrupted.

"The 4,500 head of cattle are not abandoned and 100 employees are not left jobless. As for operational expenses, the company has now to apply to the police for clearance before disbursements can be made," he added.

On the allegation by PKR today that he and his family had spent almost RM600,000 of NFC's money in credit card expenses for personal use, Wan Shahinur clarified that these are corporate cards and for business development expenses.

"There are no personal expenses as alleged. The business development expenses by the four directors reflect the magnitude of its (NFC's) multi-million ringgit sales," he said.

He also said that NFC would clarify other distortions that have affected public perception of the company.

Wan Shahinur said that the Auditor-General has at no time described in his 2010 report that the NFC was in a "mess".

"The word 'mess' has never been used in the report, and the public can download a copy of the audit report from the Jabatan Audit Negara (National Audit Department) website http://www.audit.gov.my/ to confirm it."

"Clearly this is another kind of false and mischievous allegation."

Crisis worsens: SPDP sacks 3 state reps, 1 MP

The Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) supreme council members, at a meeting in Kuching, have unanimously agreed to terminate the membership of four elected representatives from the party effective today.

They are Tasik Biru assemblyman Peter Nansian Ngusie, who is also assistant minister of industrial development, Mas Gading member of parliament Tiki Lafe, Bekenu assemblyman Rosey Yunus and Batu Danau assemblyman Paulus Palu Gumbang.

SPDP president, William Mawan Ikom, said the decision to terminate the party membership of the four elected representatives was made to avoid confusion among grassroots party members and the people on their position in BN.

"I wish them the best and with the termination of their membership, they are no longer SPDP members," he told reporters here.

On their position in the Sarawak BN Club, Mawan said anyone could form or be a member of the club, including the BN clubs overseas.

Mawan said that with the problem on the four elected representatives been solved, SPDP would now focus on its preparations for the general election and the party triennial general assembly to be held on March 17 in Bintulu.

The four elected representatives quit the party last week following disagreement with the party president.

Remaining SPDP 5 members quit party

10:50PM Jan 6, 2012

The crisis in the Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) took another turn today when the remaining four leaders of the so-called SPDP 5 announced that they were quitting the party effective tomorrow.

Peter Nansian, who is the assemblyperson for Tasik Biru, Rosey Yunus (Bekenu), Paulus Palu Gumbang (Batu Danau) and Mas Gading Member of Parliament Dr Tiki Lafe who have been at loggerheads with SPDP president William Mawan, announced their decision in a joint statement today.

The statement said the sacking of former party secretary-general Sylvester Entri last November was one of the reasons that prompted them to leave.

"We have to steadfastly maintain our principle as we have declared earlier that if they touch any of us, they touch all of us.

"The decision is also to prove that we are not troublemakers in the party and are not challenging the leadership.

"But since there appears to be no prospect for reconciliation, it is pointless for us to remain in the party," they said, adding that hostile moves were made against them by the party despite being advised by the Barisan Nasional top leadership to cool things down.

The four have also taken the stand that they want to concentrate on serving the people to their best ability through Barisan Nasional, rather than to fight for lofty posts or perks and causing protracted quarrel in the party.

With the decision, they also plan to form Sarawak Barisan Nasional Club in their respective constituencies as a vehicle and an interim measure to continue serving the people.

"We do not want to be a party to destabilise Barisan Nasional in any way because we need a strong and stable government to bring development and progress," they further said in the statement.

DAH BENAR-BENAR TAK BOLEH PAKAI UMNO/APCO NI


Untuk burukkan DAP, Berita Harian putar belit kenyataan Sasterawan Negara?


Semakin terdesak nampaknya UMNO/BN, selain dari Utusan yang menjadi Lidah Rasmi UMNO, Berita Harian juga diperkudakan untuk memburukkan parti dalam Pakatan Rakyat.


Untuk memburukkan DAP, Berita Harian edisi 14 Januari 2012 menyiarkan satu artikel yang bertajuk 'DAP binasakan identiti Melayu, Sasterawan desak selamatkan warisan sejarah' yang tidak tepat dan tidak betul menurut sasterawan Negara Prof Emeritus Dr Muhammad Haji Salleh.

'Jangan heret saya dalam perkelahian politik'

Sasterawan Negara Prof Emeritus Dr Muhammad Haji Salleh menyatakan kekecewaannya terhadap laporan sebuah harian berbahasa Me! layu ber hubung laporan yang mendakwa DAP "membinasakan" identiti Melayu.

Katanya, laporan Berita Harian bertarikh 14 Januari -- bertajuk "DAP binasakan identiti Melayu: Sasterawan desak selamatkan warisan sejarah"-- tidak betul dan tidak menggambarkan apa yang diucapkannya.

"Saya tidak menyebut kerajaan BN atau DAP dan mengharap orang yang berfikir dapat meneka - tetapi selama 50 tahun lebih orang Melayu sedikit demi sedikit lari ke Seberang, terperosok di rumah pangsa yang sempit dan kehadiran mereka di negeri ini, terutama di pulau, semakin menipis.

"Ramai daripada mereka miskin dan terdesak. Masalah yang dihadapi orang Melayu berusia lebih 50 tahun. Kerajaan sekarang baru saja beberapa tahun memerintah, dan baru saja cuba menangani masalah ini," katanya.

Dr Muhammad berkata, beliau tidak berminat menyokong kerajaan mana pun, sebaliknya hanya bertindak sebagai "pemerhati dan pengkaji orang Melayu dan orang Malaysia di Pulau Pinang" dan ingin mengetengahkan masalah mereka.

"Apa yang berlaku sejak lebih 50 tahun ini ialah tragedi orang Melayu dan orang miskin," kata pensyarah di Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) itu.

Dalam kenyatannya semalam, Dr Muhammad menegaskan, masih terdapat orang Malaysia yang "tidak berfikir dari sudut dan untuk parti" dan sebagai penulis, beliau ingin melihat dan berfikir dengan saksama.

"Harap jangan diheret saya ke kancah perkelahian politik. Pengarang ialah kata hati masyarakat dan kami ingin menjalankan tugas kami dengan jujur," katanya lagi.

Sehubungan itu, ekoran salah lapor itu, beliau berkata, Berita Harian bertanggungjawab secara etikal dan moral untuk menyiarkan penafiannya - Malaysiakini

BERSIH 2.0: Review of the PSC’s recommendations and EC’s responses

Note: Please download the full statement in PDF format to have a proper view of the table below

File link: 160112 PS comparison between Bersih2-PSC-EC FINAL

 

Press Statement: 16 January 2012

BERSIH 2.0: Review of the PSC's recommendations and EC's responses

 The Parliamentary Select Committee for Electoral Reform (PSC) ended its final public hearing last week on 12 January 2012. BERSIH 2.0 has compiled a table of comparison between BERSIH 2.0's recommendations for key areas of electoral reform, the PSC's recommendations in its interim report and the areas which the EC has committed to implement (see attached).

Out of the 41 recommendations made by BERSIH 2.0 on our 8 demands, election observation and constituency redelineation; the PSC in its interim report has fully adopted only four of our recommendations which are:

  1. Thorough and independent audit of the electoral roll
  2. Allow eligible voters living overseas to vote as absent voters
  3. Adopt advance voting for service voters
  4. Use of indelible ink

 

The PSC has partially adopted another four of BERSIH 2.0's recommendations which are:

  1. Display of supplementary electoral roll to be extended from 7 days to 14 days, instead of the BERSIH 2.0 recommendation of 30 days.
  2. Removal of RM10 objection fee and limit on number of objections allowed per person. However, PSC did not pick up BERSIH 2.0's further recommendation for any voter, regardless of constituency, to make objection and extension of 7-day notice to 14 days for objected person to attend public inquiry. Most alarmingly, the PSC completely ignored BERSIH 2.0's demand for transparent revision of principal or supplementary electoral rolls after certification, on which the EC holds unchecked power.
  3. Establish a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate allegations of non-citizens obtaining citizenship and participating as voters at Sabah. BERSIH 2.0 recommended for the establishment of an RCI to investigate all allegations of giving citizenships to non-citizens in exchange for votes.
  4. Extend absentee voting to East Malaysians living at West Malaysia and West Malaysians living at East Malaysia. BERSIH 2.0 recommended for postal voting to be extended to all eligible Malaysians expected to be out of their constituency and at least 250km away from closest absentee voting centre.

 

Disappointingly, the EC has publicly committed to three reforms, which correspond to only three of BERSIH 2.0's recommendations, which were also recommended by the PSC. These are:

  1. Use indelible ink in the 13th General Elections (GE-13)
  2. Implement advance voting for service voters
  3. Audit of electoral roll by engaging MIMOS Berhad

 

Other recommendations made by the PSC that are of deep concern to BERSIH 2.0 are the removal of objection period of nomination of candidates and removal of serial numbers on ballot papers. If implemented, the removal of serial numbers on ballot papers will open possibilities of ballot stuffing. To ensure secrecy of the ballot, BERSIH 2.0 recommends to maintain the serial numbers but also to distribute the ballot papers to voters at random. With regards to removal of objection period, BERSIH 2.0 disagrees with giving EC full discretion over eligibility of candidates. Voters should be allowed to express any objections they may have to any nominated candidate.

Overall, BERSIH 2.0 is of the view that the PSC interim report should have included all substantial recommendations to ensure that key reforms are implemented by the EC immediately. We are disappointed that the PSC made only a few recommendations despite having heard substantial recommendations from BERSIH 2.0 and other groups and individuals.

The EC's apparent lack of commitment and pro-activeness in implementing not only BERSIH 2.0's recommendations but also the PSC's recommendations indicates a serious lack of political will in facilitating deeply needed reforms in the electoral system. As the constitutional institution that is entrusted to manage electoral processes and uphold the rights of voters, the EC appears to be unwilling to fulfil its constitutional duties. BERSIH 2.0 reminds the EC that it is not answerable to any political master but to ALL citizens of Malaysia. The EC has therefore abandoned its constitutional role and responsibility to ensure electoral reform and good governance be practised and implemented before any elections can take place.

Electoral injustice in Malaysia has continued for far too long. Malaysians are increasingly aware of the flaws and injustice in the electoral system and taking a proactive roll to monitor the performance of the EC. If the EC intends to gain the confidence of the people of Malaysia, it must stop making excuses and immediately start taking steps to reform the electoral system to ensure free and fair elections in Malaysia.

The EC and the Najib Administration must recognise a clear fact: Malaysians will not accept anything less than a thorough and sincere reform of the electoral process. The 50,000 brave Malaysians who marched through the streets of Kuala Lumpur on 9 July 2011 in defiance of police violence and arrests have made their stand. Any false attempt of reform – like the Peaceful Assembly Bill – will invite not praises, but only backlash.

Salam BERSIH 2.0!

 

Steering Committee
Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (BERSIH 2.0)

The Steering Committee of BERSIH 2.0 comprises:

Dato' Ambiga Sreenevasan (Co-Chairperson), Datuk A.

Shahrizat’s family denies abusing NFC credit cards

PETALING JAYA: The National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) today denied that several members of Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil's family used the company's credit card to spend close to RM600,000 for personal purchases.

The allegation was made by PKR.

NFC chief executive officer Wan Shahinur Izran Mohamed Salleh said on Twitter that PKR was attempting to deceive and was insulting the public's intelligence. He was responding to a reporter's question.

He said NFC credit cards were used only for company expenditures.

"PKR will always make slanderous and defamatory statements," he said. "This is politics. We will cooperate in any investigation."

Izran, 27, is Shahrizat's son.

Yesterday, Izran said on Twitter that he and his family had been receiving threatening SMSes from anonymous senders and had made numerous police reports.

Earlier today, PKR strategist Mohd Rafizi Ramli claimed that Shahrizat's family spent a total of RM593,500 in 2009 using NFC credit credit cards.

Yesterday, NFC executive director Wan Shahinur Izmir, Izran's brother, said the company would continue with "business as usual" although its assets were frozen amid a probe by the police
and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.

Rafizi today lambasted that statement, saying that all executives in NFC should be suspended and a corporate administrator appointed to take over its management. He said a full audit should be conducted on the company.

NFC came under attack from the opposition parties , particularly PKR, after the release of the 2010 Auditor-General's Report, which said the publicly-funded corporation was "in a mess" and had failed to meet national targets for beef production.

Shahrizat's family has been accused of misappropriating RM250 million of public funds meant for NFC in the purchase of a luxury car and luxury condominiums in Bangsar and Singapore. PKR has also alleged that NFC beef was channelled to luxury restaurants owned by Shahrizat's family.

Shahrizat, who is also Wanita Umno chief, has denied that she was involved in any wrongdoing. However, she faces growing calls to quit as minister, not only from the opposition parties, but from within Barisan Nasional and Umno as well.

Last week, she said she was going on leave for three weeks.

Kadir: Indelible ink alone won’t ensure free elections

Former minister and veteran Umno member Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir said that introducing indelible ink would not ensure free and fair elections and there are more pressing issues that need to be addressed.

In a recent interview, he said he believed it was more important that both sides of the political divide should be given equal access to the media, that the civil service should be politically neutral, and that money politics should end.

Kadir (right) told a story of a villager he met, who told him, "DAP is evil. If they win, they want to abolish the monarchy."

The villager said the information came from the radio and newspapers.

"All the radio, all the newspapers, all the televisions… it carries only one voice," he said.

"What the radio and the newspaper say is accepted as the gospel truth. (Most) of our population is like that. This means that other opinions do not go down (to the people).

"That is not the situation to have a free and fair election," he lamented.

"When I was the minister of information (under fifth prime minister Abdullah Badawi) I felt that way but I was not strong enough to change that."

He suggested that both parties should work out short-term and long-term solutions to deal with this situation.

"Maybe a few Astro channels for free, then some allocations by RTM and TV3, just for three months or so before the election.

"But after the election they must do something for the long-term," adding that serious applications for newspaper permits should be allowed as it is a constitutional right.

No sympathy for money politics

Kadir also said that the civil service should be neutral during elections.

"You cannot have (various government agencies) in the kampungs, eating and sleeping with the people, giving them money, having feasts all the time; spending rakyat's money, but campaigning for one side.

"That is something fundamental that should be corrected." he said.

In addition, Kadir wants "blatant distribution of cash" to buy votes to be banned.

"Very ugly and very primitive!" he said of the practice.

He said that he was given stacks of notes to distribute when he was helping in by-elections.

I said I wouldn't do it, give it to others.. All my life I never used money for politics," recounted the 73 year old politician.

He claimed he even had ministers telling him that money was necessary for politics and criticised this belief as just a means to justify corruption and abuse of power.

In his heart he believed it could be done without money as shown in Singapore and other countries in the world.

Even if money was used, the process should be as transparent as possible.

PSC should be given more time

Kadir's recommendations were also part of electoral reform coalition Bersih 2.0′s demands, which it were mostly ignored during the first round of recent reforms to the electoral system.

The Elections Commission (EC) is implementing several changes to the electoral process, as recommended by the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on electoral reform.

Some recommendations in its interim report include the use of indelible ink, reforms in postal voting, and that the EC should be allowed to enforce election laws.

The committee has six months until March this year to make recommendations to improve the electoral process.

NONEKadir, who is also deputy president of the NGO Angkatan Amanah Merdeka (Amanah), lamented that the recommendations so far are only minor changes that do not address the issues.

Nonetheless, he praised Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak (left) for forming the committee and said that it should be given more time to propose and implement its recommendations.

"The government should not have the elections before the PSC finishes its work," he said, adding that the work could be done by June, but several more months were needed to implement it.

"And now it looks like they are planning to hold the election around March or April. That I think is not wise, the rakyat would really revolt.

"This would show that the PSC was set up just 'for drama'. Even if they win (the elections) again, I think the rakyat won't accept the verdict," said the former Kulim-Bandar Baharu MP of 30 years.

Kadir is the eldest son of a founding member of Umno, and had been politically active since second prime minister Abdul Razak Hussein's administration.

In addition to being the former information minister, he also served as the culture, arts and tourism minister during Dr Mahathir Muhammad's administration
.

A tiger may change its stripes

Former Malaysia's prime minister Mahathir Mohamad smiles as he speaks at his office in Putrajaya outside Kuala. The man who made Malaysia part of the "East Asia Miracle" with a massive inflow of foreign direct investment doesn't think much of it today. Reuters/Bazuki Muhammad

Writing articles about Southeast Asian politics was once a journalist's purgatory. The sun's rise was less predictable than a Singaporean election. Nothing was less important than a Thai change of government. Vietnam and Myanmar were in authoritarian straitjackets. And Malaysia was dominated by

one party and one man.

Suddenly it's a different story. Thailand is a bi-colour nation. Aung San Suu Kyi is back on the campaign trail. Even Singapore's ruling has suffered ballot box humiliation. But it is in Malaysia that political ferment is producing something genuinely heady.

Anwar Ibrahim, the leader of Malaysia's opposition party, was days ago acquitted by a court of charges of sodomy. He returned to Kuala Lumpur this weekend to prepare for elections next year. Ibrahim has long argued that the charges he faced arouse only from his rivalry with Malaysia's former ruler, Mahathir Mohamad.

Ibrahim, recently in Mumbai, rhetorically questions whether his country can resist the winds of political change that have swept the Arab world and are stirring Myanmar.

Rivals
Anwar is attracting eyes for two reasons. One, the rivalry between him and Mahathir has almost no precedence in Asia in terms of length, intensity and international interest. Challenged to find a parallel, Anwar could only come up with the Sheikh Hasina vs Khaleda Zia battle in Bangladesh. But the Malaysian struggle is clearly a quantum level higher in its animosity.

Both Mahathir and Anwar, in public and private, say that while personality was an issue so was policy.

Malaysia is often cited as the quintessential "Asian tiger." It was an almost textbook case of a country that used cheap labour and business friendly policies to attract foreign manufacturers to spur export-driven growth. This "New Economic Policy" was Mahathir's baby. And it worked.http://www.hindustantimes.com/Images/HTEditImages/Images/15_01_pg-20a.jpg

Malaysian incomes increased fourfold under him. A country that, as he liked to say, used to be confused with Malawi became an international brand.

But the NEP had a local bias: the bumiputera system. This was a drastic and pervasive reservation system that favoured the Malay community in everything from college seats to government contracts to public housing — and all at the cost of the smaller Chinese and Indian populations. When launched it was seen as a politically and socially useful means to give a boost to the more numerous but poorer Malays.

Limping
Today Malaysia's economy is limping. Its labour is now expensive, so many of the export-oriented factories are fleeing to Indonesia, Vietnam and China. The economic stats are still robust, but mainly on the back of global demand for the country's tin, petrochemicals and palm oil.

Mahathir's successors have each recognized that the bumiputera system must be reformed or abolished if Malaysia is to develop its own entrepreneurial class. Even Mahathir concedes reservations have been flawed. "The NEP has largely been a success, and an impressive one," he wrote in his memoirs, but it "has also created a disabling culture of entitlement among many other Malays."

The present prime minister, Najib Razak, is known to believe that the reservation system and export-dependency have stunted entrepreneurship among Malays. Anwar was among the first Malay leaders to publicly say the bumiputera system had run aground. But his criticism goes much further: the NEP has devolved into kleptocracy. Yes, the lot of Malays has improved, but a handful have done criminally well. Anwar argues "nine families" control the country's wealth. And the rot is worst at the head: the opposition says it is the relatives and inner circle of people like Mahathir and Najib who have enriched themselves, leaving the majority of Malays to live off of crumbs.

This is borne out by the numbers: income inequality began rising dramatically within the Malay comunity from 1990 onwards. A troubled government has simply stopped printing the statistics in recent years. Kuala Lumpur's leaders denunciations of the West and attempts to portray themselves as defenders of Islam are, in the opposition's view, little more than attempts to divert attention from their pocket-lining.

Corruption
It was policy but more perks that led to the famous battles between Mahathir and the then finance minister Anwar during the Asian financial crisis of 1997. Mahathir accused Anwar of adhering to close to the IMF line. But while his boss was denouncing George Soros and financial speculators, Anwar's ministry was showing there was no evidence  this was true. "Soros was attacking the Thai bath, but he wasn't touching the ringgit," says Anwar.

Things came to a head when Anwar was told to ready a 2 billion ringgit (1 Malaysian ringgit = $ 0.31903) bailout for Mahathir's son's sinking shipping line. "I didn't say no. I said it had to go through the process, including being placed before Parliament," says Anwar. "He saw this as insubordination." After the financial crisis the accusations of corruption and worse followed. "Before that we had no problems."

Anwar, who wants the reservation system to be needs-based and a more liberal politybe introduced to Malaysia, combines all this with Islamic piety. He likes to tell other Malaysian Muslims of the example of millions of Indian Muslims living in secular and open India. The Malaysian ruling party uses Islam but, Anwar argues, their hypocrisy is evident to all.

Consider: the government sentenced a young Malaysian model for un-Islamically drinking beer in 2009 even while Mahathir's son holds the multi-million dollar franchise for San Miguel beer.

"Najib says the same things about Malaysia's problems as I do, but he doesn't do anything," says Anwar. Ultimately it's about "whether you're prepared to share your money."

The Malaysian prime minister has attacked him for daring to criticise the bumiputera system. But enough lower-income Malays, who joke the NEP is short for nepotism and who have been seen only the claws of the Asian tiger economy, are rallying to Anwar — along with the majority of Indians and some Chinese — that his party came within a whisker of victory in the last election.

"I'm dubbed a traitor to the Malay race," he smiles. "But corruption knows no race. Look at the Arab spring. The most conservative countries in the world, even their the people had to react to the abuse of power and wealth."

BN tag won’t work on informed Sarawak voters

Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) president James Jemut Masing has said that the Barisan Nasional can no longer depend on its usual election campaign tagline of 'No Barisan Nasional, No Development' in Sarawak.

This is because the current voters are "not only young but well educated and are very well-informed of happenings around them", he said at a dinner organised by the party's Bintulu branch here last night.

Masing said the Internet has changed the scenario now.

"It is both a blessing as well as a curse for us. Because of the Internet, we now have the alternative or social media and they have more readership than the mainstream media.

"These alternative media have better reach and are read by different strata of society. Thus, our population, especially those in urban and semi-urban areas, are well informed of happenings around them," he said.

Masing said they were also more prosperous and had more needs than just the basic requirements.

"So, trying to entice them with minor rural projects or other development projects is no longer practical or effective. Thus, we need to work hard and work smart," he said.

'Try some honesty'

He said one of the ways was for the elected representatives to be very sincere and honest with them.

"If we cannot deliver, we must tell them so. We must also always go down to the ground.

"I find that voters are more willing to accept the faults of YBs who work continuously and are always easy to reach throughout their term and not become visible only when the election is around," he said.

He said this was based on his own experience when he was in the opposition for eight years and could not offer any development project or aid to the people.

"All I had was time and more time, which I gave them. Election after election the voters reciprocated and I won with an increased majority in every election," he said.

Masing said the Barisan Nasional (BN) government will still be in power after the next general election. The 13th general election is due by April 2013.

He advised the rural voters, most of whom are Dayaks, to support the BN because it has a credible track record of being fair to all.

"You must not experiment with the untested leadership of the Pakatan Rakyat as they are neither united in opinion nor in direction," he said.

BN hardsells Terengganu minorities    

Meanwhile in Terengganu, the Chinese and Siamese who make up only about five percent of the electorate are told their support for the BN is vital for the coalition to remain in power in the state, according Menteri Besar Ahmad Said.

"You must not neglect your responsibility to vote wisely because a wrong decision can prove to be costly in terms of your future," he said at a programme to fete the Chinese and Siamese communities in the Besut district, Besut night.

Ahmad, who is also chairman of Terengganu BN, said these communities must exercise their right to vote as every vote counted in a general election.

He said a peaceful and politically stable Terengganu would be able to implement various development programmes for the benefit of the people, including the minority communities.

At the event, 100 elderly people from the Chinese and Siamese communities received aid from the state government.

Memorandum saya kepada SPAN – isu paip yang belum diganti

Yang Berhormat Dato' Ismail bin Kasim
Pengerusi Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara (SPAN)

Assalamualaikum w.b.t Yang Berhormat Dato' Ismail,

MEMORANDUM BAGI MEMPERCEPATKAN PROSES PENGGANTIAN PAIP DI KAWASAN BANGSAR, LEMBAH PANTAI, KUALA LUMPUR

Dengan hormatnya saya merujuk kepada perkara di atas.

Saya ingin menarik perhatian Yang Berhormat Dato' Ismail berhubung permasalahan ketara yang berlaku di kawasan Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur iaitu gangguan bekalan air akibat daripada kekerapan berlakunya paip pecah di kawasan berkenaan.

Saya difahamkan melalui maklumat daripada pihak Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (SYABAS) bahawa paip-pai yang digunakan di kawasan Bangsar ini dari jenis 'AC' (Asbestos Cement) yang telah berusia 25 tahun masih digunakan dan ketidakupayaan untuk menampung tekanan air di kawasan berkenaan.

Menurut rekod daripada pihak SYABAS juga, dalam tempoh 2 bulan yang lepas, sebanyak 27 kes paip pecah telah direkodkan di kawasan Taman Lucky, Bangsar dan perkara yang sama berlaku di kawasan sekitarnya.

Buat Pengetahuan Yang Berhormat Dato' Ismail, saya dimaklumkan oleh pihak SYABAS bahawa mereka telah memaklumkan tentang keperluan penggantian paip di kawasan Bangsar ini kepada pihak Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara (SPAN) menerusi satu lawatan tapak yang diadakan pada 13 Disember 2011 lalu. Walaubagaimanapun, program penggantian paip yang telah dirancang oleh pihak SYABAS terpaksa ditangguhkan berikutan arahan pihak SPAN untuk menangguhkan pelaksanaan semua program-program pengurangan air tanpa hasil (NRW) dan ini termasuklah Program Penggantian Paip Lama yang dilaksanakan di bawah perbelanjaan CAPEX (perbelanjaan modal) sehingga cadangan penstrukturan semula perkhidmatan bekalan air di negeri Selangor, Kuala Lumpur dan Putrajaya selesai sepenuhnya.

Perkara yang dimaklumkan oleh pihak SYABAS ini tidak selari dengan janji yang telah dibuat kepada pihak Persatuan Penduduk Bukit Bandaraya untuk mengantikan paip yang sedia ada (dalam Rolling Plan Kedua, RMK ke-10).

Oleh yang demikian, saya menggesa agar pihak SPAN dapat mempercepatkan proses penggantian paip sepertimana yang telah dijanjikan dan bersama-sama surat memorandum ini juga, saya lampirkan sokongan penduduk setempat yang turut sama menggesa agar masalah ini diselesaikan segera.

Segala kerjasama daripada pihak Yang Berhormat Dato' Ismail dan SPAN amatlah dihargai demi kesejahteraan dan keselesaan penduduk setempat dan didahului dengan ucapan terima kasih.

" Demi Malaysia yang Lebih Baik "

Sekian. Wassalam.

Love your country Vote wisely

Malaysians must start to LOVE the right thing and in the right way. My earlier posting Love is a dangerous game to play with! highlights generally about love between two sexes and how it can be good or it can hurt as well.

Love - A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person.

Patriotic - Feeling, expressing, or inspired by love for one's country.

Over the decades of propaganda by the ruling regime, the people are inclined to think that only by loving the ruling government will they be recognised as patriotic that love the country. A misconception of loving the government first and nation second.

The second misconception by the regime after having ruled for over five decades begins to think and act like the nation wealth belongs only to them and the rakyat are their servants to toil with.

The third misconception is the ruling regime demand that the rakyat must be appreciative and grateful of what the government is doing.

These misconceptions must be promptly eradicated from the rakyat's mind or else the future of this nation will be in ruin.

There can be no love for a ruling government but only categorized as, good, poor or bad governance. The rakyat need not be appreciative or be grateful to the government for what they are doing, for better or worst, as they are elected and paid for to do their jobs of running the nation.

This nation can and will only be bankrupted or destroyed by those holding the power and not the rakyat. Patriotism cannot be questioned by the ruling government for covering up their wrong doings wh! en rakya t woke up and protested against them.

GE 13 is just round the corner and voters must start grading the performances of umno/bn rule for the past five decades. Leave love and patriotism aside as they cannot be used to gauge the performances of the government. You can love and like PM Najib but put that as personal. The scrutiny must be deep rooted into the overall long term results that will benefit the country and rakyat and not short term or ad hoc give away, once every five years.

This coming GE, voters must be very attentive of who they are going to vote in to form the next government. They must ask a lot of questions and find the answers themselves, for example, why giving out a one time off RM500 cash to those earning 3K and below now. Why not look into a long term solution for those earning 3k and less, ensuring high purchasing power from the 3k. Can they own a home, a kanchil & regular meals for a family of four with the 3k?

They said, what goes up must come down but I do not see the truth in the prices of consumer goods nor the corruption index and what is the ruling government going to do about it?

If you are patriotic and love your country, you must make the right choice by voting in a credible, competence and clean government with integrity that treated all Malaysians as equal and with respect. Failing to do so will see the nation that you love and being patriotic about in ruin.

GE 13 : LOVE YOUR COUNTRY VOTE WISELY

HAI ! TERSELAK KE TERLUCUT KAIN ?


Dalam usaha memberi tekanan kepada Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak untuk bertanggungjawab terhadap skandal projek ternakan lembu Perbadanan Fidlot Kebangsaan (NFC), PKR hari ini membuat satu lagi pendedahan mengenai dakwaan penyalahgunaan dana NFC.

NONEKali ini, dakwa pengarah strategi PKR Rafizi Ramli, empat ahli keluarga Menteri Wanita, Keluarga dan Pembangunan Masyarakat Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil membelanjakan RM593,500 pada tahun 2009 dengan kad kredit yang wangnya dari dana NFC.

Menurut Rafizi, empat ahli keluarga yang memegang jawatan pengurusan dalam NFC telah menggunakan kad kredit yang bayarannya dituntut dari NFC bagi perbelanjaan antara RM122,402 dan RM182,525 setiap seorang.

Mereka adalah suami Shahrizat, Datuk Mohammad Salleh Ismail, iaitu pengerusi NFC, anak lelaki mereka yang berusia 31 tahun, Wan Shahinur Izmir (pengarah eksekutif), seorang lagi  anak mereka Wan Shahinur Izran yang berusia 27 (ketua pegawai eksekutif) dan anak perempuan mereka Wan Izzanah Fatimah (pengarah) yang berusia 25 tahun.

"PKR tidak ada pilihan kecuali terus membongkarkan pelbagai penyelewengan yang ada di dalam rekod kami untuk meningkatkan tekanan politik terhadap Datuk Seri Najib Razak
untuk bertindak dengan telus dan tidak berdolak dalih," kata Rafizi dalam satu kenyataan hari ini.

azlanMenurutnya, petang esok pada jam 2 petang, aktivis PKR yang diketuai Fariz Musa akan membuat satu lagi laporan di Balai Polis Dang Wangi mengenai perbelanjaan kad kredit oleh keluarga Ketua Wanita Umno itu yang didakwa melampaui batas.

Mengenai kenyataan Izmir, semalam, bahawa NFC masih menjalankan "perniagaan seperti biasa" walaupun Sabtu lalu kerajaan mengumumkan bahawa aset syarikat berkenaan telah dibekukan sementara menunggu sisatan, Rafizi mempersoalkan sama ada Najib hanya membuat kenyataan kosong tanpa memberikan arahan khusus, atau NFC mengingkari arahan yang dikeluarkan oleh kerajaan.

Katanya, tindakan "membekukan aset NFC" sepatutnya bermakna:

  • Sebarang perbelanjaan selain dari membayar gaji pekerja-pekerja yang bertugas dalam operasi penternakan lembu (seperti yang dimandatkan dalam perjanjian pembiayaan oleh kerajaan) perlu dibekukan;
  • Pengurusan sedia ada yang terdiri dari kaum keluarga Shahrizat tidak dibenarkan membuat sebarang keputusan bersabit operasi, kewangan, sumber manusia dan keputusan-keputusan penting lain;
  • Sebarang pemindahan wang keluar dari NFC, termasuk pembayaran gaji dan perbelanjaan syarikat-syarikat lain yang dimiliki oleh keluarga Shahrizat perlu dihentikan serta-merta; dan
  • Sebarang keputusan mengenai aset atau struktur syarikat dan pelaburan tidak dibenarkan dibuat bagi mengelakkan pemindahan aset.
Menurut Rafizi, secara lazimnya dalam amalan korporat yang berdasarkan tata kelola yang baik, apabila seseorang disiasat akibat tuduhan pecah amanah, beliau tidak dibenarkan masuk ke pejabat dan digantung serta-merta bagi mengelakkan cubaan menghapuskan bukti.

"PKR mengulangi desakan supaya Najib bertindak lebih berani dengan menggantung penglibatan kaum keluarga Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil di dalam operasi NFC dan melantik pentadbir korporat (corporate administrator) untuk mengambil alih pengurusan dengan mandat membongkar semua penyelewengan yang telah berlaku," katnya lagi.

NFC paid RM600,000 credit card bill for Shahrizat’s family...

NONEIn an effort to pressure Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to accept responsibility for the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) scandal, PKR today made another expose on the alleged abuse of NFC funds.

Four family members of Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, spent a total of RM593,500 in 2009 with credit cards, with the money coming from the NFC funds, PKR strategy director Rafizi Ramli claimed today.

Rafizi, who is in charge of the party's expose on the NFC, said the four family members who hold management posts in NFC had swiped the credit cards that are charged to NFC for expenses of between RM122,402 and RM182,525.

The four are Shahrizat's husband Mohammad Salleh Ismail, who is NFC chairman, their 31-year-old son Wan Shahinur Izmir (executive director), another son Wan Shahinur Izran aged 27 (chief executive officer) and 25-year-old daughter Wan Izzanah Fatimah (director).

"Our expose will be continued until Najib takes action to indicate that he and his colleagues in cabinet accept full responsibility over the abuses that happened in NFC," said Rafizi in a statement today.

He revealed that PKR activists led by its central leadership council member Fariz Musa will make another police report against the credit card expenditure at Dang Wangi police station at 2pm tomorrow.

On Izmir's statement yesterday that NFC is still doing "business as usual" despite Najib's announcement on Saturday that the its assets have been frozen pending investigations, Rafizi questioned whether Najib has made an empty announcement or NFC has gone against the freeze order.

He noted Izmir's statement revealed that Shahrizat's family is still free to utilise NFC funds and operate the company, which is prohibited if a freeze order has been issued.

He stressed that freeze order should include:

1. Any expenditure apart from paying salaries of employees in charge of cattle farming operations (as stipulated by the government agreement) should be frozen;


2. The current management consists of Shahrizat's family members is not allowed to make any decision related to the operation, finance, human resource and other important decisions of the company;

3. Any transfer of funds from NFC, including the salary payment and expenditures of other companies owned by Shahrizat's family, must be halted immediately;

4. Any decision related to the assets or structure of the company and investment should not be allowed to avoid asset transfer.

Rafizi also demanded that Najib suspend Shahrizat's family members from their posts and ban them from entering the office, before appointing corporate administrator to take over the company in line with good corporate governance.

Shoul! d the pr emier fail to do so, Rafizi threatened to expose more NFC irregularities which are in the possession of PKR.- malaysiakini

No Indian face in Pakatan banners

GEORGE TOWN: There was no Indian face in the Pakatan Rakyat banner displayed at its national convention in Alor Setar last Saturday .

And this has riled up Pakatan and DAP Indian members. They feel that the omission was not a mistake, but a deliberate attempt by Pakatan leadership to show that only Malays and Chinese counted in the coalition.

The DAP Indian members are angry that their party supremo Karpal Singh pictorial montage was not included in the banner.

It was Karpal, as a lead counsel, who fought and got Anwar Ibrahim acquitted from the Sodomy II charge last Monday.

"How could Pakatan leadership forget Karpal?" they asked.

Human Rights Party secretary-general P Uthayakumar said that Barisan Nasional, for all its shortcomings, at least showcased Indian faces.

But by omitting an Indian face altogether from its official banner, he said Pakatan had indicated of things to come if it were to capture Putrajaya.

He claimed it was reflective of Pakatan future policies to undermine and sidestep Indian representation at the highest level of its decision-making hierarchy.

"Pakatan Malay and Chinese leaders demonstrated that they will make do without constructive Indian representations if they have federal powers," alleged Uthayakumar.

He said Pakatan may have omitted Indian face because its leaders thought they can make do with only Malay and Chinese votes.

He reasoned that it was maybe because Indian community does not form a majority in the country's 222 parliamentary constituencies despite having 715,099 registered voters as of general election 2008 electoral roll.

Since 1957, he alleged that Umno had has gerrymandered constituencies, with sizeable Indian population, to politically paralyse the community.

Sungai Petani, Padang Serai, Batu Kawan, Ipoh Barat, Bagan Datoh, Teluk Intan, Hulu Selangor, Kuala Selangor, Kota Raja, Klang, Teluk Kemang, Rasah and Cameron Highlands are among seats in question.

Compared to Sabah's 25 federal and 60 state seats with 837,584 registered voters, he noted that Pakatan leaders have shown more political zest to look into the north Borneo state affairs.

Meanwhile, Kota Alam Shah assemblyman M Manoharan has been receiving calls since Saturday over the Pakatan banner.

He said the callers, including his constituents and Pakatan supporters, raised questions on whether "Pakatan was only interested in Indian votes, not Indian representations let alone their problems".

Hasan: PAS parasites out to get me

PETALING JAYA: Former Selangor state executive councillor for religious affairs, Hasan Ali, questioned the Selangor government's haste in dismissing him from the state administration, blaming it on the work of "parasites" within PAS.

The Gombak Setia assemblyman, however, declined to reveal the identity of the parasites.

"I will be having roadshows after this and the details of these people will be revealed in my speeches," said Hasan who was speaking at a press conference today at his residence in Taman Tun Dr Ismail.

Hasan was dropped from the state government by Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim last Friday .

The decision was made after the PAS leadership sacked Hasan from the party last weekend for allegedly going against party interest.

In his defence, Hasan said he had applied for leave from Khalid since his dismissal from PAS to contemplate his next course of action, which Hasan claimed Khalid had approved .

"Technically, I was dropped from the state office while I still have time to file an appeal with PAS. Probably, Khalid overlooked this detail. Someone must be in a hurry to fill up my post," said Hasan.

He urged PAS to return to its original struggle of upholding Islamic principles rather than embarking on agendas set by the "parasites".

"I urge the youth wing, who share the same ideals as I, to move PAS back to the ideals of our former president,the late Fadzil Noor," said Hasan.

'No vested interest'

On his future plans, he said he would use the roadshows to expose the "parasites" whom he alleged to have infiltrated many other institutions, including student movements.

"And I have no vested interest in this. I'm doing this to defend the sanctity of Islam, the Malays and the monarchy," he said.

In an immediate reaction, PAS vice-president Mahfuz Omar said that he would not want to comment on Hasan's allegations that there were "parasites" within the party as the latter was no longer a party member

"Let him say what he wants. I don't know if he means the party president (Abdul Hadi Awang), himself or party spiritual leader, Nik Aziz Nik Mat," said Mahfuz in jest.

He also said that he was not affected by any of Hasan's comments as the latter was no longer a party member.

"If he was still a party member, then his statements are akin to an Umno member making such statements against the party," said the Pokok Sena MP.

On Hasan's decision not to appeal against his sacking, Mahfuz said he would respect the state assemblyman's decision saying it would benefit both Hasan and PAS.

"And I wish him well in his endeavour and it is his right to continue with his struggle through means other than PAS," he said.

Yesterday, Hasan said he would not appeal against his sacking, saying there was no reason for him to remain in PAS any longer.

On the matter of Hasan's replacement in the Selangor state government, Mahfuz said that party secretary-general, Mustafa Ali, would give the name to Khalid today.

PESTA POLITIK BR1M SEDANG BERLANGSUNG

RM4 juta BR1M diagih 

 
Mengikut laporan berita dari Utusan iaitu seramai 7,836 penduduk dalam kawasan Ampang berpeluang menerima bantuan RM500 di bawah program BR1M....

Ini tidak lain bagi aku menunjukkan bahawa selama lebih 50 tahun UMNO/APCO-BN berkuasa di Selangor, manakala kawasan Ampang ini termasuk sebagai kawasan perbandaran di pinggir Bandar Raya Kuala Lumpur, masih ramai yang miskin rupanya....selama 50 tahun jugalah UMNO/APCO yang memerintah negeri Selangor membiakkan kemiskinan ini tanpa bantuan....hari ini pulak, depa terhegeh-hegeh menghulurkan bantuan RM500 dengan menggunakan platform UMNO/APCO sebagai nak menunjukkan depalah juara dalam memberikan bantuan....

Datuk Ismail Kijo selaku Penyelaras Parlimen Ampang yang dilantik UMNO/APCO dipetik berkata : ''Berdasarkan statistik, Ampang merupakan kawasan paling ramai didiami penduduk miskin bagi kawasan perbandaran di Selangor yang layak menerima BR1M itu''

Dengan kata-kata itu, memang sah bahawa selama lebih 50 tahun UMNO/APCO mentadbir Selangor ikut suka depa....rakyat marhaen dan miskin langsung tak dipedulikan....tetapi la ni, disebabkan politik dan keingin! an nk ta wan balik Selangor.....bantuan di bawah BR1M dipolitikkan.

Kemudian pula, laporan utusan menyebutkan : ''Namun bagi yang ketinggalan masih boleh mendapatkan borang permohonan bantuan itu di Pejabat UMNO Bahagian Ampang sehingga 10 Februari ini''

Lanjutan tarikh penghantaran borang ini pada mulanya ditegaskan tidak akan dilanjutkan....tetapi mungkin sebab nampak UMNO/APCO dapat memanfaatkan untuk tujuan politik, mungkin itulah juga sebabnya  dilanjutkan hampir sebulan lagi.....dan itu sebabnya juga, UMNO/APCO tanpa segan silu cuba menjadi juara mengedarkan borang yang sebenarnya depalah juara memiskinkan rakyat selama 50 tahun ini.....kalau UMNO/APCO-BN ni telus dalam mentadbir....pasti dah banyak masalah selesai....tapi rupanya tidak....sejak tahun 1969 dari peristiwa 13 May....ummat Melayu masih lagi di takuk lama, malah aku rasa semakin teruk kalau dicampurkan dengan masalah sosial, akhlak, budaya, penyalahgunaan dadah, jenayah, dan sebagainya......

-Bancuh-

Apa ini?

Media Statement by DAP Parliamentary Leader and MP for Ipoh Timor Lim Kit Siang

"Temporary freeze" of NFC assets meaningless unless the collective monthly salaries of Shahrizat family in NFC also slashed by two-thirds  from RM215,000  to some RM71,000

Lim Kit Siang

The.announcement by the National Feedlot Corporation (NFCorp) executive director Wan Shahinur Izmir Salleh that It's "business as usual" and NFCorp operations are uninterrupted despite the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's announcement two days ago of the temporary freeze of the National Feedlot Centre assets offends the most elementary sense of right and wrong of decent Malaysians.

It raises the critical question nagging thinking Malaysians whether the "temporary freeze" of NFC assets was nothing but a charade and a conjuror's sleight-of-hand to  appease an increasingly outraged Malaysian population - including more and more disillusioned Umno and Barisan Nasional members - but with little real meaning for the operations of NFC as appears to have been confirmed by Izmir.

When were  the assets of NFC frozen? Who froze the NFC assets  and who have the authority and what are the circumstances to  unfreeze the NFC assets?

Most important of all, how much of the NFC assets have actually been frozen as Malaysians would not be surprised if NFC has been reduced to an empty shell with the many dubious corporate manipulations and hanky-lanky misusing NFC funds completely unrelated to the original objective to promote a high-impact project to ensure a higher level of beef self-sufficiency as have been publicly exposed in the past three months.

Can Najib specifically answer the many questions about the "temporary freeze" of NFC assets - the who, when, where, how and what assets have been  frozen and what value?

When Izmir announced that it's "business as usual" despite the "temporary freeze" of NFC assets, what hit Malaysians in the face is the realization that the gross abuse of public funds is continuing without any let-up, as in the extravagance with which the Shahrizat family members are paying themselves in the NFC project.

Shahrizat's husband Dr. Mohammad Salleh Ismail as NFCorp Chairman draws $ 100,000 salary monthly, 31-year-old son Izmir draws RM45,000 monthly as executive director, another son Wan Shahinur Izran aged 27 draws RM35,000 a month as CEO while 25 year-old daughter Wan Izzanah Fatimah draws RM35,000 as the other director - a handsome total sum of RM215,000 monthly as salaries for Shahrizat's husband and three children all to be traced to the largesse from the cabinet in approving and resulting in the RM300.000 "cattle condo" s! candal.< br>
Ordinary Malaysians are outraged that after more than six months after the revelations and strictures by the Auditor-general about the NFC "mess", nothing has been done whether by the cabinet or NFC to put things right. What is worse, there is a complete absence of remorse or admission of grave wrong and injustices in the gross misuse of NFC funds.

What is the meaning and purpose of the "temporary freeze" of NFC assets six months after the Auditor-General 2010 Report had first been submitted to the Cabinet and government when there has been no "hair-cut" on  the Shahrizat family in the NFCorp to curb their extravagant salaries and  lifestyles?

The least Malaysians expect in any meaningful "temporary freeze" of NFC assets would be two-thirds cut in the monthly salaries of  the NFCorp chairman, executive director, CEO and the other director from their total monthly salaries of RM215,000 to some RM71,000!

Will this be discussed in the cabinet tomorrow? Which Minister would dare to broach this subject in Cabinet tomorrow?

Reformasi Najib dicemari Muhyiddin

Terdapat tanda-tanda wujud golongan ekstrem dalam Umno yang menghasut supaya pihak pendakwaraya membuat rayuan berhubung kes tuduhan liwat melibatkan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim yang dibebaskan oleh Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur pada 9 Januari lalu.

Sebagai bukti, sokongan terbuka Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin terhadap aduan Azlan, bapa kepada Mohd Saiful Bukhari supaya Peguam Negara memfailkan rayuan terhadap kes ini.

Malah Muhyiddin, dilaporkan oleh pihak media pada 12 Januari lalu, telah meminta Peguam Negara memberi pertimbangan terhadap permohonan rayuan ini, jika dibuat, demi kepentingan rakyat.

Langkah ini menjadi bukti terdapat percanggahan dakwaan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak bahawa pembebasan Anwar membuktikan reformasi yang dilaksanakan benar-benar memberi kesan.

Dalam satu wawancara yang disiarkan oleh Asian Wall Street Journal pada 13 Januari lalu, James Hookway menulis:

"Pemimpin Malaysia Najib Razak menyatakan pembebasan pemimpin pembangkang Anwar Ibrahim minggu ini sebagai bukti beliau serius tentang reformasi politik, malahan mengajak diadakan pertarungan dalam pilihan raya supaya beliau boleh disinggirkan dari memegang kuasa."

Hookman berkata Najib beriya-iya benar untuk menonjolkan dirinya sebagai pemimpin yang melaksanakan reformasi yang paling berkesan sejak merdeka.  Beliau memetik Najib sebagai berkata,

"Apabila penghakiman dijatuhkan, segala ketegangan yang menyelubungi perbicaraan selama ini secara tiba-tiba hilang dan rakyat secara tiba-tiba sedar bahawa terdapat isu-isu lain yang lebih penting dari isu Anwar, seumpamanya pertumbuhan ekonomi. Apa yang penting sekarang ini ialah kita melangkah maju ke hadapan."

Najib kemudian menerangkan langkah-langkah reformasi yang sedang dalam proses untuk dilaksanakan, seperti menjadikan pilihan raya lebih telus, mengurangkan tapisan media, menghadkan kuasa untuk menahan seseorang tanpa bicara, dan lain-lain.

Berbangga dengan perubahan-perubahan ini, Najib berkata langkah-langkah ini menjadikan Malaysia sebagai rakan baru Amerika Syarikat dalam "mempromosi politik demokrasi dan perdagangan bebas di rantau Asia dan Timor Tengah."

Beginilah kata-kata yang digunakan oleh seorang pemimpin yang menyuarakan hasratnya untuk mencapai objektik politik melalui jalan demokrasi bagi memastikan Malaysia diiktiraf, dihormati di kalangan masyarakat demokrasi antarabangsa.

Rayuan bercanggah dengan reformasi Najib

Berhubung sikap Najib terhadap isu Anwar, gesaan timbalannya Muhyiddin supaya dibuat rayuan kelihatan janggal, terutamanya ketika pemimpin-pemimpin dunia mengirimkan mesej penghargaan, mengesahkan keputusan kehakiman itu sebagai langkah yang tepat untuk mengakhiri perbicaraan itu yang dianggap sebagai pencabulan ke atas keadilan dan penganiayaan politik.

Sekiranya Muhyiddin dan termasuk beberapa pemimpin pelampau Umno yang lain tidak mengetahui, fakta-fakta yang dikemukakan oleh pihak pendakwaraya dalam kes perbicaraan Anwar tersangat lemah dan wujud penipuan.

Jika hakim Dato' Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah memutuskan Anwar bersalah pada hari itu maka keputusan ini boleh mengaib dan menjejaskan kedaulatan negara.

Bagi mereka yang mengikuti kes perbicaraan ini dengan dekat, sepatutnya apabila satu-satunya bukti – DNA – yang menjadi tempat penggantungan pihak pendakwaraya bagi menyokong hujahnya (selain dari kata-kata daripada pengadu sendiri), yang telah dapat dipatahkan oleh pakar DNA dari Australia maka keseluruhan kes ini sepatutnya telah musnah.

Kes pendakwaan hampir musnah

Dr Brian McDonald, seorang pakar genetisis molekular terkenal, menyatakan bahawa air mani tidak boleh hidup lebih lama dari 56 jam dalam dubur.

Setelah 56 jam, air mani tidak boleh hidup 48 jam lagi selepas itu dalam pejabat pegawai penyiasat polis di dalam bilik di kawasan beriklim tropika. Inilah apa yang didakwa, iaitu sampel air mani Anwar telah menjelajah dua tempoh masa tersebut sebelum tiba di makmal pakar kimia.

Dakwaan bahawa air mani itu masih berada dalam keadaan yang baik, kata nDr McDonald berdasarkan laporan ujian DNA pakar kimia kerajaan Dr Seah Lay Hong menunjukkan air mani bukan yang asli sebagai ganti dikemukakan kepada bilik makmal.

Jika anda meragui kredibiliti Dr McDonald, beliau ialah ahli Australian Biomedical Society dan berkhidmat sebagai ahli Human Genetics

Society, ketua pegawai genetisis di New South Wales dan ahli Australian Forensic Science Society.

Beliau mengemukakan kepada mahkamah kredential beliau setebal lima muka surat termasuk menyenaraikan buku-buku, kertas kerja dan artikel yang ditulis dalam subjek DNA.

Hujah dan bukti

Adalah sesuatu yang signifikan apabila pihak pendakwaraya gagal mematahkan hujah dan bukti Dr McDonald berhubung DNA.

Begitu juga dengan Dr Seah yang dipanggil semula untuk memberi bukti untuk mematah hujah Dr McDonald oleh Timbalan Pendakwa Raya II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden.

Mohd Yusof berkata kes pendakwaan bertarikh 3 Februari 2010 ini adalah berdasarkan aduan Saiful dan DNA Anwar ditemui dalam duburnya.

Tanpa ragu lagi, ini membuktikan Anwar bersalah dakwa beliau, walaupun semua doktor yang memeriksa Saiful telah mengesahkan bahawa tidak terdapat bukti tusukan ke dalam dubur Saiful.

Memandangkan sekarang ini bukti DNA telah dibuang maka kes ini bergantung hanya kepada kata-kata Saiful.

Sejauh mana kredibiliti dan kesahihan bukti daripada Saiful?

Jawapannya terdapat dalam keputusan pihak pendakwaraya yang mendakwa sodomi yang berlaku di antara Anwar dan Saiful adalah secara sukarela, berbanding sodomi yang dipaksakan seperti yang didakwa oleh Saiful.

Ini menunjukkan pihak pendakwaraya sendiri tidak bersetuju dengan dakwaan Saiful. Jika pihak pendakwaraya tidak percaya dengan apa yang dikatakan oleh Saiful, kenapa mahkamah mempercayai kata-kata beliau?

Rayuan menemui jalan buntu

Persoalannya bolehkah bukti-bukti yang tidak menyokong pengadu, (pihak pendakwaraya menyatakan mereka tidak yakin seperti mana dalam kertas dakwaan), dijadikan bukti kukuh untuk kesalahan jenayah yang boleh mengakibatkan tertuduh dipenjara selama 20 tahun?

Pemimpin-pemimpin Umno yang ekstrem yang enggan menerima keputusan penghakiman ini kerana ingin menyingkir Anwar dari medan politik harus merenung betul-betul perkara ini.

Sekiranya terdapat rayuan, bolehkah panel hakim duduk bersama dalam Mahkamah Rayuan termasuk Mahkamah Persekutuan, yang kebanyakan daripada mereka mengikut telunjuk pemimpin-pemimpin politik, menjawab persoalan ini?

Jika mereka berbuat demikian maka dunia akan mentertawakan Malaysia, dan ini akan mencetuskan krisis keyakinan dalam sistem perundangan dan seterusnya akan membantut pertumbuhan ekonomi negara?

Akhirnya, adakah mereka yang ekstrem dalam Umno ini benar-benar pasti bahawa ketidakadilan terhadap Anwar ini boleh menyekat kebangkitan rakyat atau sebaliknya menghumban Umno ke dalam tong sampah politik negara.
