Karpal Singh says,"Investigate Zaki for corruption".............

DAP chairperson Karpal Singh today handed over to the King a tape recording of Chief Justice Zaki Azmi’s alleged admission that he had bribed a court staff.

The senior lawyer handed over the audio evidence to a palace staff at 4.45pm. He was denied entry into the tightly guarded Istana Negara.

The Yang di Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, and his personal secretary are not in the country.

The veteran opposition leader said that with the evidence, the King should convene a special rulers session to sack Zaki.

"I submitted the audio tape and another letter seeking for the special Rulers sessions to sack Zaki. This is a follow-up to the letter which I gave to the King last month over the same matter.

"Zaki has not denied what I have said nor has he relayed any intention to sue me for defamation. Hence, the tape recording proves that my claim is correct. I state it again, I challenge Zaki to sue me, for what I allege," he said.

Karpal also called on the newly formed Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to investigate Zaki under the Prevention of Corruption Act 1961.

On Feb 18, the DAP chairperson had revealed the audio recording to the media.

The recording was of Zaki's speech at a convention in Kuching last November on 'Integrity - the Catalyst of Sustainable Development'.

The recording, which is of poor quality, was said to consist of the part where Zaki talked about bribing court staff when he was a lawyer.

Ever since his appointment as the head of the judiciary, Zaki has come under constant fire from the Bukit Gelugor MP, who strongly believes that he is not fit to be chief justice in light of this open admission of having indulged in corrupt practices.

Zaki, however, has previously clarified the matter, claiming that the media had misinterpreted his comments at the Kuching conference in November.

Karpal had also lodged a police report against Zaki on Nov 13. However, till today Karpal said he had never been questioned by the police or the MACC.

Investigate Zaki for corruption

"I cannot understand why the authorities practise double standards. Here we have an allegation of corruption against Zaki, with his own voice admitting to it and yet the police and MACC have not began any investigations," he said.

"The CJ is an important and respected position in any country. If the CJ has admitted to corruption how can foreign investors have the confidence of placing their capital here?" he asked, adding that it would be wise for Zaki to step down.

Karpal also disclosed that he expects to meet with Zaki when the chief justice is scheduled to be in Penang to officiate the refurbishment of the High Courts there.

"I was invited personally by the CJ, and I will be present," he said.

Asked whether he expects fireworks, Karpal said there could be a war of words but he was a man of dignity and would not be involved in fights with the CJ.

If Zaki attends the function in Penang, it would be the second meeting between the two as Karpal and the chief justice were at the Federal court in Putrajaya two weeks ago for a case.

The Bar Council has also called on the chief justice to set the record straight.

And Zaki will say, "It sounds like me but its not me!" This is the hallmark of our judicial system. Luckily we have an old man in a wheelchair taking potshot on the whole corrupted system.......

UMNO Youth after Karpal's blood.....

DAP chairman and Bukit Gelugor Karpal Singh was confronted by a group of Selangor Pemuda Umno members at the Parliament tower block this afternoon. The shouting session culminated in a scuffle with the Segambut member Lim Lip Eng having his shirt tugged.

The group had been waiting at the parliament tower for Karpal and as soon as he arrived they surrounded him and started heckling him over his warning to Pemuda Umno yesterday.

He accused Umno Youth of having sent him two bullets while debating the Royal Address.

"Where did the celaka Pemuda Umno fellows get the bullets?" he had asked while pronouncing himself not afraid.

This afternoon, Karpal's aide finding his boss surrounded immediately summoned help and several DAP members came to the rescue.

They immediately got into a shouting session with the youth and that is when Lim's shirt was tugged.

However, by then the House security had summoned police help and the Karpal was escorted into the lobby.

BNBBC chief Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing who came to the tower building immediately condemned the Pemuda action.

"This is not the way. In politics there are bound to be people who provoke. We have to accept that this part and parcel of politics," he said.

Tiong lamented the security arrangement in the parliament and called on the Dewan Rakyat to immediately tighten arrangement.

In the chamber, Karpal and DAP members immediately raised a stink and demanded to know how the group could have made it into the compound and wait for Karpal.

Chong Chieng Jen (DAP-Bandar Kuching) said that they have been waiting since morning.

"What security is the House providing," he asked speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia.

Pandikar Amin said he will have to investigate but assured members everything was done to protect them.

"I am disabled but not intimidated by this. The police were there and they just watched," he said.

Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said not agreeing with Karpal was not an excuse to get physical with him.

"We must come up with a ruling that all parliamentarians must be protected," he said.

---------------------

Sekalipun Karpal Singh memang suka mencari pasal, PAS dan kebanyakan penyokong Pakatan Rakyat faham bahawa Karpal mewakili sebahagian suara kecil pengundi yang memang selama ini tidak puas hati dengan pelbagai isu. Dalam negara demokrasi, kita tidak sewajarnya menggunakan kekerasan sesuka hati.

Sebelum ini, UMNO cuba memprovokasi Tok Guru Nik Aziz dengan menzalimi dan menyiksa anaknya dengan memasukkan anaknya ke dalam ISA. Sekiranya Tok Guru Nik Aziz ketika itu mengarahkan penyokong PAS untuk mengangkat senjata dan berjihad, nescaya akan berlaku pertumpahan darah dari Kedah hingga ke Johor.

Sekiranya Anwar sewaktu reformasi dahulu mengarahkan penyokongnya mengangkat senjata menentang kezaliman BN, nescaya bergelimpangan mati penyokong UMNO dan golongan yang menentang UMNO.Tetapi, atas kebijaksanaan kepimpinan Pakatan Rakyat, kaedah aman digunapakai.

Ini berbeza dengan Najib dan UMNO suka benar mengugut bunuh. Nampaknya, UMNO sudah memulakan operasinya.........

This is getting out of control.The fact that the police should have chased away these intruders, but amazingly, even the police did not know how much of a breach of security happened. This thuggish and samseng attitude cannot be tolerated.

What would have happened if someone threw a C4 or attack with a parang?

I'm sure these UMNO youths will be let off with just a tap on their back. No action will be taken at all just like in the Lingam video case all marked NFA(No Further Action)

How's Najib gonna explain this?

* "Berikutan penangguhan itu, kerajaan terpaksa membayar pampasan berjumlah RM245 juta, iaitu RM177 juta kepada Plus, RM38 kepada Sprint dan RM30 juta kepada Akleh,"


* "Kenaikan kadar tol itu tidak seharusnya dilihat sebagai membebankan kerana mutu dan kualiti lebuhraya berkenaan terjamin, selain menjadi laluan altenatif di kawasan berkenaan."


* "Kewujudan lebuhraya berkenaan juga telah membawa rahmat kepada rakyat dan negara, dengan menggalakkan pembangunan, perumahan, perniagaan dan juga meningkatkan sosio-ekonomi penduduk sekitar.


Sekali lagi ucapan tahniah kepada mereka yang telah memberi mandat kepada UMNO/BN untuk menubuhkan gomen pada PRU-12 yang lalu seterusnya membolehkan UMNO/BN meneruskan agenda mereka.

Correct..Correct...Correct "NFA" on three in Lingam probe...

Three out of four persons being investigated in relation to the infamous V. K. Lingam video clip case, have been cleared of graft charges, the prime minister told Parliament today.

Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi told Wee Choo Keong (PKR-Wangsa Maju) in a written reply that the three cases had been marked “NFA” — which means no further action will be taken.

The file on one of the four persons originally investigated remain open. The PM did not name any of the four persons.

Abdullah said there was insufficient evidence to charge the three persons under the Anti-Corruption Act 1997.

The Lingam video clip was widely circulated on the Internet in 2007.

In the grainy clip, Lingam is recorded having a telephone conversation apparently with a minister and appears to be brokering judicial appointments.

The video clip which was recorded by Loh Gwo Burne, who is now the PKR MP for Kelana Jaya, sparked a major public outcry.

A Royal Commission was set up to investigate the videp clip but the findings were inconclusive regarding Lingam’s role in any alleged brokering of judicial appointment.

During the hearing, Lingam famously said “it looks like me, it sounds like me,” when questioned if he was indeed the man in the clip.

The V. K. Lingam video clip scandal was a significant contributing factor towards the Barisan Nasional (BN) government’s poor performance in last year’s general elections.

Four investigation files were opened by anti-corruption officers, the prime minister said in Parliament today.

Three of the cases were “deferred” to the Attorney-General’s Chambers, while one was marked “NFA” by the director of the legal and prosecution department in the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.

Of the three cases “deferred” to the Attorney-General’s Chambers, two were marked “NFA” while the remaining case remains open.

Wee told reporters later that the director of the legal and prosecution department did not have the power to decide on a case but to only investigate.

“This is unheard of and first time as a lawyer. Why are they taking so long? The last time they said that the paper has already been sent but now they say it is for further investigation,” he said.

UMNO/BN offers RM20 million to jump ship.......

Two Pakatan Rakyat state assemblypersons today filed a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) claiming that they were offered millions to quit their respective parties and become independents or join Barisan Nasional.

According to a Bernama report, DAP's Keshvinder Singh (Malim Nawar) and PKR’s Abdul Yunus Jamsari (Kuala Kurau) filed the report at the MACC office in Ipoh.

Speaking to reporters later, Keshvinder alleged that he received various offers from numerous agents claiming to represent Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

One of the agents, he said, was a local freelance Chinese-language journalist. Among others, the DAP leader claimed that he was offered RM20 million to quit his party and declare himself as an independent as well as express support for BN.

The lawyer-turned-politician also claimed that he had received other offers such as being appointed Perak MIC chief if he chose to join the BN component party as well as being appointed as a state executive councillor.

He said the exco appointment offer was the latest since BN seized control of the state government earlier this month.

"I urge Najib to come forward and explain the matter because this shows that the federal government is corrupt and desperate," he added.

Logging concessions

Meanwhile, Abdul Yunus claimed that he was offered cash between RM3 and RM8 million. Apart from this, the PKR politician also claimed that he was offered logging concessions if he agreed to quit his party.

He alleged that the offer was made by several agents comprising businessmen who claimed to be representing the Perak leadership.

The duo were accompanied by seven Pakatan Rakyat representatives - Ramli Tusin (Semanggol), A Sivasubramaniam (Buntong), Chan Ming Kai (Simpang Pulai), Chang Lih Kang (Teja), Sum Cheok Leng (Bercham), Leong Mee Meng (Jalong) and Khalil Idham Lim Abdullah (Titi Serong).

BN took control of the state after four Pakatan Rakyat reps quit their respective parties. Three later declared themselves 'BN-friendly' independents while the other rejoined Umno.

Will they or wont they............... you guys should play smart. Let them, esp. when Najib is about delivers the RM20 million, take a few photos or video and pass it to MACC.

However with that evidence too, I doubt MACC will act. In fact MACC wont have the balls to take any action. There goes MACC short for Malaysian Agency for Cows and Cars.............

2 bukit & 1 batang........

As if it is not enough, even Sarawak is now putting a leg in it.Could it have been destiny? I have no idea. Perhaps BN's leaders should consult the feng shui masters what the Year of Ox has in bag for it.

If we include the Bukit Lanjan state assembly seat in Selangor, the upcoming four by-elections have their own significance, not unlike a mini general election.

The Bukit Selambau state seat in Kedah is a predominatly rural mixed constituency with Malay and non-Malay voters making up approximately half of the electorate. Bukit Gantang in Perak is a semi-rural Malay-dominated mixed constituency. Bukit Lanjan in Selangor, meanwhile, is an urban predominantly Chinese mixed constituency.

Batang Ai in Sarawak is an inland Dayak constituency. Although there are fewer than 10,000 voters in Batang Ai, this constituency carries enough weight to create phenomenal changes. BN's fortress lies across the South China Sea, and while a storm may be fermenting in East Malaysia, Batang Ai could as well be the catalyst.

From the northern part to the central part of peninsular Malaysia, and across the South China Sea to the tiny inland constituency in Sarawak, this battle front forms the Maginot Line for Barisan Nasional.

Prior to the second world war, France built the world famous Maginot Line aimed at checking the advances of German troops. The French government was well aware that this was going to be the lifeline of national defence, and the survival of the republic was very much tied to the integrity of this defence line.

However, this defence line finally gave in to the advancing German troops, forcing the French to retreat in all the subsequent battles, eventually leading to the downfall of the country.

From Kedah to Sarawak, these four by-elections have one significance. If BN loses all four, or most of the battles, a domino effect is well forming.

The consequence: the public will turn away from the ruling coalition for Pakatan Rakyat. Besides, the morale within BN will also be crushed, and the rift among its component parties widening. But will things really happen this way?

Judging from the prevailing atmosphere now, indeed things don't seem to work in BN's favour. There are plenty of dissatisfaction among the people. This, coupled with BN's sluggish pace of reform, will very likely develop into some kind of massive tidal wave.

UMNO is too preoccupied with taking over the Perak state administration, while its leaders engrossed with party elections--not much time to bother about what the public feel.

Such shortsighted and short-term manoeuvres have their shares of lapses and oversights. Perhaps, this is what we call "destiny," which could never be exempted nor evaded. - Tay Tian Yan/Translated by Dominic Loh/Sin Chew Daily

---------------------

Apa yang jelas sebab musabab pilihanraya kecil di dua bukit dilambatkan adalah bertujuan;

1. SPR sekarang bertungkus lumus cuba menghilangkan daftar pemilih yang memihak kepada PR. Sudah pasti nanti ramai hantu-hantu, jembalang dan toyol tetiba hidup bergentayangan di Bukit Selambau & Bkt Gantang.

2. UMNO paksa SPR mengadakan PRK ini ikut agenda mereka sendiri. SPR sekadar pengampu UMNO dan bukan lagi sebuah badan bebas.

3. Propaganda gila-gila yang digembar gembur oleh media siang malam dan banyak lagi isu-isu sedang dikorek untuk memburukkan PR.

4. UMNO terpaksa menggunakan SPRM sebagai agen untuk memburukkan tokoh-tokoh pembangkang.

5. UMNO dah ketaq atas bawah kerana rakyat dah tahu tembelang mereka. Bulan Mac ini dapat pula saf-saf pemimpin baru yang rekod buruk sudah diketahui orang ramai.

Berdasarkan kepada pengalaman kita semua, banyak jabatan gomen termasuk SPR dan SPRM di pergunakan untuk tujuan politik gomen khususnya UMNO.

Malaysia is getting famous these days for the wrong reasons.

Kisah benar Nizar dan Paduka Seri Sultan Perak.......

Assalamualaikum,

Terlebih dahulu saya bermohon beribu kemaafan. Situasi semasa memerlukan saya sepenuh masa menangani beberapa permasalah akibat rampasan kuasa (coup d”etat) oleh UMNO BN pada 5 februari 2009.

Ini sejarah hitam bagi rakyat negeri Perak apabila dengan zalim dan rakusnya Timbalan Presiden UMNO, Najib Tun Razak mengadap DYMM Sultan Perak pada pagi 5 Feb. 2009 untuk merompak hak rakyat tersebut melalui pintu belakang.

Pada 2 Feb 2009 (Isnin) , saya mengadap DYMM Sultan Perak di Istana Kinta bagi mempersembahkan 2 pucuk salinan surat perletakan jawatan YB Jamaluddin(Behrang) dan YB Osman (Changkat Jering) bertarikh 30 Jan 2009, dan surat dari YDP Dewan (Speaker) YB Sivakumar kepada SPR memohon di laksanakan pilihanraya kecil kedua-dua DUN tersebut.

Ketika itu UMNO-BN di ketuai oleh Najib Tun Razak masih dalam proses memerangkap beberapa wakil rakyat PR khususnya YB Dato’ Nasaruddin (ADUN Bota yang telah menyeberangi ke PKR) pada 25 Jan 2009, dan ADUN Jelapang YB Hee Yit Fong.

Perhubungan dengan YB Jamaluddin dan YB Osman telah terputus mulai 26 Jan 2009. Keluarga dan orang terdekat termasuk ketua umum PKR, DSAI, juga gagal. Hanya setelah surat perletakan jawatan dikemukakan baharulah kedua mereka muncul bersama Najib Tun Razak. Semasa kemelut itu juga YB Dato Nasaruddin (BOTA) dilapurkan hilang dibawa oleh 2 orang ADUN UMNO yang kononya mereka diarah menjemput YB Dato Nasa bertemu Raja Muda. Dia akur dengan pelawaan palsu tersebut dan bersetuju bersama kedua-dua adun umno menaiki pacuan empat roda dan trus hilang entah kemana, khabarnya dilarikan kepada dakapan Najib Tun Razak.

Dilaporkan oleh isteri YB Dato’ Nasa, Datin UMI bahawa suaminya hilang mengikut dua orang adun umno pergi bertemu Raja Muda tetapi rupa-rupanya untuk dibelutkan oleh umno agar YB Dato’ Nasa kembali semula kepada umno-BN walaupun telah bersumpah dikhalayak ramai 10,000-15,000 orang pengundi Bota pada 30 Jan 2009 untuk tidak akan berganjak dan kembali kepada UMNO. Pertemuan YB Dato Nasa denga saya di pejabat MB pada 29 Jan 2009 bersama ahli-ahli exco dan pimpinan PKR Perak juga menjanjikan benda yang sama. Bila ditanya oleh warga media adakah YB Dato Nasa akan kembali kepada UMNO oleh kerana pertukaran Pengerusi Perhubungan UMNO negeri kepada Najib Tun Razak, namun jawab YB Dato Nasa, “Insya Allah, tidak”.

Ketika itu kedapatan YB Hee dari Jelapang juga turut lesap dan putus hubungan, sehingga YAB ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang selaku SU Agong DAP memberi amaran mana-mana ADUN DAP yang putus hubungan dalam tempoh 24 jam di kira telah meletak jawatan.

Ketika itu, keputusan SRP pula menafikan hak dan permohonan YB Speaker untuk diadakan PRK di Behrang dan CGKT Jering. Maka tiada pilihanraya kecil, ini pula atas desakan dan campur tangan UMNO BN mengarahkan pengerusi SPR yang baru dilantik (tetapi diberi amaran kerana bertanggungjawab tersungkurnya UMNO BN di KT ) untuk jangan diadakan PRK di Behrang dan Cgkt Jering. (Bertentangan dgn Perlembagaan Persekutuan 113). Untuk pengetahuan semua, SPR tidak boleh menolak mana-mana permohonan dari mana-mana Speaker di Malaysia untuk isytihar PRK apabila ada surat dari wakil rakyat tersebut yang meletak jawatan. Peranan SPR dalam Perlembagaan Malaysia hanyalah sebagai pelaksana sahaja dan bukanya pemutus untuk tolak atau meragukan mana-mana surat yang pada pandangan Speaker adalah sah.

Maka pada 4 Feb 2009, selaku MB serta ketua DUN, saya mengadap DYMM memohon perkenan agar dibubarkan DUN Perak untuk mengembalikan hak rakyat Perak membuat pilihanraya baru dan secara sahnya memilih kerajaan baru. DYMM Sultan menyatakan akan mengkaji dan menghubungi saya kemudian, saya akur. DYMM Tuanku mengucapkan kepada saya, “Innallaha maa Sobirin” (Sesungguhnya Allah bersama orang2 yang sabar) dengan senyuman sambil menggoyang-goyangkan kedua tangan Tuanku.

Kesokan harinya 5 Feb 2009, (khamis) jam 10.00 saya bersama-sama YAB PM Pak Lah berada di Bgn Serai merasmikan majlis mekanisasi pertanian penanaman padi seluas sekitar 200 ekar secara moden oleh Sime Darby. Namun keseluruhan berita telah digelapkan walaupun ada liputan media meluas. Jam 11.45 pagi saya menerima perintah DYMM Sultan untuk mengadap di Istana Kinta. Maka saya memohon laluan dari YAB PM dan terus menuju Istana . Sesampainya di Istana, DYMM Sultan telah sedia menanti bersama Penasihat Undang-undang, (LA).

Saya terus angkat sembah dan duduk (cukup luar biasa sebab yang biasa apabila dititah atau mohon mengadap, sayalah yang akan menunggu DYMM Sultan didalam bilik khas). DYMM menyatakan kepada saya:-

1. Kesemua 27 ADUN BN telah dipanggil mengadap dan setuju trus dengan BN

2. Adun Bota (YB dato Nasa) telah bersetuju kembali kepada UMNO-BN

3. Ketiga Adun Behrang, Cgkt jering dan Jelapang juga telah dipanggil mengadap dan bersetuju keluar PR dan menjadi ahli Bebas serta menyokong BN, menjadikan 31 orang. (28 +3)

4. Maka sekarang BN ada majoriti dan PR cuma ada 28 ADUN.

Saya sudah terlintas dihati yang sesuatu tak kena akan terjadi makanya ,
saya mohon mencelah dari DYMM Sultan dan mengambil masa sekitar 15 minit untuk mengutarakan hujah dan point berikut:-

i. Saya hanya memohon perkenan kebawah DYMM Tuanku untuk dibubarkan DUN Perak dalam hak dan kuasa yang dianugerahkan saya sebagai MB dan ketua DUN.

ii. Kembalikanlah hak rakyat untuk memilih kerajaan baru yang sah dan bermaruah.

iii. Saya mahu mendaulat dan memartabatkan institusi Istana sebagai institusi ulung dan teragung di kacamata rakyat.

iv. Bila DUN dibubarkan, rakyat akan lihat bahawa Tuanku cukup adil dan tidak menyebelahi mana-mana pihak sekali gus rakyat akan menjulang dan menghormati institusi Istana kerana mengembalikan hak rakyat untuk membuat pilihan semula. Ini Keadilan yang kita laung-laungkan.

v. Saya ajak DYMM Tuanku Sultan meredhai dan bersyukur di atas anugerah Ilahi dalam sambutan Jubli Perak dengan Allah SWT memanjangkan usia DYMM Tuanku hingga ke 82 tahun. Saya seru agar merealisasikan kesyukuran atas nikmat ini dengan mengembalikan hak rakyat serta pengampunan dari Allah SWT

vi. Saya nyatakan dengan jelas jika Tuanku bubarkan DUN, rakyat akan turut bersyukur dan berterima kasih tidak terhingga kepada Tuanku dan rakyat akan menjulang institusi Istana.

vii. Disebaliknya saya nyatakan bahawa jika hak rakyat ini tidak diberi (dengan tidak membubarkan DUN) maka dikhuatiri rakyat akan menghina dan hilang hormat kepada institusi di Raja dan Tuanku sendiri.

viii. Saya zahirkan kepada DYMM Tuanku dimanakah maruah kerajaan UMNO BN dengan mengambil 3 orang wakil rakyat (Jamaluddin, Kapt Osman dan Hee) sebagai penyokong mereka semata-mata hendakkan simple majoriti, yang mana 2 daripada mereka (Jamaluddin dan Osman) telah dituduh oleh pimpinan UMNO terdahulu dari itu sebagai mengambil rasuah meluluskan projek perumahan di Perak Tengah bernilai RM180juta dan menerima habuan serta sedekah seks (yang mana projek tersebut tidak wujud pun! Sengaja diada-adakan oleh pihak BPR pusat untuk mejatuhkan kerajaan PR). Kedua mereka akan menghadapi perbicaraan di mahkamah session Ipoh pada 10 Feb 2009. Saya juga katakan kepada DYMM Sultan seandainya pertuduhan ke atas mereka lekat, maka apa akan terjadi kepada kerajaan itu kelak. Dan jika pertuduhan itu digugurkan oleh mahkamah, sudah tentu rakyat jelata akan melihat sebagai campurtangan pihak Istana dan ini akan mencemarkan imej dan kedaulatan Istana.

ix. Saya beri maklum bahawa jika dibubarkan DUN Perak seluruh institusi Istana di Malaysia pasti akan mendapat penghormatan tertinggi dikacamata rakyat jelata dan masyarakat dunia dalam dan luar negeri akan turut menghormati DYMM Tuanku. Kekebalan dan kekuasaan diraja telah lama dirobek dan cuba dihapuskan oleh UMNO sewaktu dibawah pimpinan Tun Dr Mahathir. Semua institusi kesultanan di Malaysia akan mendapat imej baik dek keputusan bijak dan arif oleh Tuanku.

x. Saya sebut secara verbatim kata-kata DYMM dalam sebuah buku yang Tuanku hadiahkan kepada saya sewaktu menjawat jawatan MB pada bulan Mac 2008 dahulu. Buku berjodol “Constitutional Monarchy, Rule of Law and Good Governance” (Selected essays and speeches,by HRH Sultan Azlan Shah, edited by Professor Dato’ Seri Visu Sinnadurai, tahun 2004, saya bacakan kepada Tuanku berbunyi, “under normal circumstances, it is taken for granted that the Yang di Pertuan Agong would not withold his consent to a request for the dissolution of Parliament. His role is purely formal”.

Selepas saya baca ayat tersebut sepatah demi sepatah, maka dengan penuh takzim dan lembut ungkap, saya merayu agar Tuanku berpegang dan mengotakan kata-kata Tuanku tersebut. Bahkan saya sebut bahawa buku tersebut dan kata-kata Tuanku di dalamnya menjadi rujukan penghakiman semua negara Commonwealth sebagai suatu peradaban undang-undang yang luhur.

xi. Saya mengingatkan kepada DYMM Tuanku bahawa banyak negara seperti Singapura, Indonesia, Filipina, Mesir dan Iran yang dahulunya ada institusi di Raja, namun apabila keputusan Istana berpihak kepada mana-mana kumpulan dan mengenepikan kehendak hak rakyat, maka kini institusi tersebut telah hilang.

xii Saya merayu bahawa pada ucapan sambutan Jubli Perak pada 3 Feb 2009, di Istana Iskandariah Kuala Kangsar, ucapan Tuanku, ucapan Raja Muda dan juga ucapan saya telah menitik beratkan soal keadilan, hak rakyat dan good governance. Siaran tersebut telah dibuat liputan langsung oleh TV Bernama dan akhirnya saya dengan penuh rendah diri dengan Nama Allah, memohon kepada DYMM Tuanku agar di bubarkan DUN Perak.

Sebaik-baik sahaja habis saya sebut perkara di atas, DYMM Tuanku telah mengangkat sedikit wajahnya dan melihat saya sambil bertitah, “Saya tidak akan bubarkan DUN dan MB kena letak jawatan”.

Dengan spontan saya terus mengangkat sembah keampunan seraya berkata, “Ampun Tuanku, patik pohon sembah derhaka”.

DYMM Tuanku bangun meninggalkan majlis dan seperti biasa, saya bersalam dengan Tuanku sambil mencium tangan Tuanku dan beredar bersama LA. ( Perbualan saya dengan LA selepas insiden ini akan saya lakarkan sedikit masa lagi).

Maka bermulalah suatu cetusan krisis perlembagaan (Constitutional Crisis) yang amat menyedihkan sehingga kini. Kesemuanya ini berlaku oleh kerana kebiadaban UMNO BN pimpinan Najib altantuya memperkakaskan SPR yang enggan mengisytiharkan PRK di DUN Behrang dan Cgkt Jering dan seterusnya rampasan kuasa ikut pintu belakang oleh Najib altantuya pimpinan UMNO BN. Ini tindakan tidak bermoral UMNO yang merampas hak rakyat.

Kini kenyataan-kenyatan dari pimpinan UMNO yang menyanggah dan mengecam hebat tindakan jahat Najib altantuya membuat rampasan kuasa kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat negeri Perak, seperti dari Tengku Razaleigh, Tun Dr Mahathir, Rais Yatim dan ramai pakar perlembagaan seperti Dr Abd Aziz Bari dari UIAM, menyatakan bahawa saya masih MB yang sah disegi undang-undang dan kes seperti ini pernah terjadi kepada Almarhum Sultan Idris pada tahun 1974, yang mana almarhum Sultan tidak boleh menyuruh atau memecat MB ketika itu Allahyarham Tan Seri Ghazali Jawi (bapa YB Tajol Rosli). Tuanku terpaksa bernazar untuk menyimpan misai dan janggut selagi MB ketika itu tidak mahu letak jawatan.

Akhirnya Perdana Menteri ketika itu Tun Hussein Onn terpaksa masuk campur dan mengarahkan MB letak jawatan. MB ikut perintah PM tetapi bersyarat. Lepas itu barulah Almarhum Tuanku Sultan mencukur janggut misainya di Pangkor. Cerita ini masyhur. Semua orang tahu bahawa Tuanku Sultan ketika itu juga akur kepada ketetapan di dalam Perlembagaan Perak. Krisis ini berpanjangan………..

Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia yang dwi-standard.........

Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) mendapati, wujud bukti kukuh yang menunjukkan Menteri Besar Selangor, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim menyalahgunakan kuasanya dalam isu penyelenggaraan kereta dan pembelian lembu korban. Ketua Pesuruhjaya SPRM, Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan berkata, pihaknya mendapati terdapat bukti bahawa Khalid telah menyalahgunakan kuasanya dalam penyelenggaraan kereta peribadinya dan pembelian 46 ekor lembu korban bernilai RM110,400 untuk sambutan Aidiladha pada Disember tahun lalu di kawasan Parlimen beliau di Bandar Tun Razak.

Ahmad Said berkata, perkara itu akan diserahkan kepada Jabatan Peguam Negara untuk tindakan susulan.

"Kita akan cadangkan tindakan undang-undang dan sebagainya diambil memandangkan kita mempunyai bukti yang kukuh terdapat penyalahgunaan kuasa bagi kedua-dua kes tersebut.

"Walaupun kita boleh membuat keputusan untuk membuat dakwaan tetapi suruhanjaya merasakan, adalah lebih baik jika Jabatan Peguam Negara yang membuat keputusan.

Khalid dalam satu kenyataan yang dikeluarkan hari ini di Shah Alam enggan mengulas mengenai kenyataan Ahmad Said itu.


Peguam Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim amat kesal dengan kenyataan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) yang dilaporkan berkata terdapat bukti kukuh menunjukkan menteri besar Selangor itu menyalahguna kuasanya berhubung penyelenggaran kereta peribadinya serta pembelian 46 lembu korban. Mengulas kenyataan Ketua Pesuruhjaya SPRM Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan pagi ini, Sankara Nair berkata, menjadi amalan suruhanjaya tersebut selama ini tidak mendedahkan pada umum hasil siasatan yang dijalankannya.

Aku juga hairan,kalulah SPRM mempunyai bukti yang cukup, dengan kuasa yang ada padanya dakwa sajalah Khlalid Ibrahim. Mahkamah yang akan menentukan sama ada SPRM mempunyai bukti yang cukup atau tidak dan mahkamah juga akan menjatuhkan hukuman. Tugas SPRM hanya untuk menyiasat bukan membuat kenyataan dan andaian secara terbuka seperti yang dilakukan oleh Ahmad Said.

Helloooo En. Ahmad Said sekiranya,setelah berpuluh laporan dibuat pasal isu rasuah serta penglibatan Najib Tun Razak,bakal PM dalam kes pembunuhan Altantuya dan engkau mendapati ada bukti-bukti yang cukup untuk mensabitkan Najib Tun Razak,bakal PM sudikah engkau bertemu dengan media dan menyatakan bahawa terdapat bukti yang cukup untuk mendakwa Najib Tun Razak,bakal PM Malaysia? Aku rasa tidak……pasai nanti teloq engkau jadi kecut…

Jadi cara Ahmad Said bercakap kepada media berkaitan dengan seorang MB bukan dari UMNO/BN menunjukkan pegangan politiknya yang sama sekali bertentangan dengan tanggungjawabnya supaya berkecuali.

Anwar Ibrahim said,"I regret that it has been over eight months now and there is no sign of any action being taken by the Anti-Corruption Agency, now the much touted Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission(MACC)."

"The MACC has completed its task and I believe their recommendation is naturally to prosecute. I don't think they have any other choice (as) the facts are clear (and) incontrovertible (and) cannot be challenged.

"The only issue is that there is no political will and criminals are being protected by the institution of governance.

"How do you then defend a situation where there is clear evidence of a criminal act by the AG and the IGP, and (there is a) recommendation to prosecute by the commission but until today no action has been taken?" he said.

Perak - another round of wayang kulit.......

One thing that Najib hasnt done after plotting the downfall of the PR gomen in Perak, is that he has not been able to buy the Speaker of DUN Perak, V Sivakumar.

The speaker V. Sivakumar has just suspended MB Zambry Abdul Kadir and his 6 excos members from attending the state legislative assembly for a period of 18 months and 12 months respectively – for contempt of the assembly.

How could Najib miss out this important aspect of the conniving scheme is rather puzzling? But one thing is sure that Najib and the federal gomen will have restless night trying to rescript the plot so as to avoid a snap election in Perak.

With the MB and his 6 excos suspended, the political equation has changed,which means that PR has regained its majority of 28 seats against BN’s 24 seats

The question now, will PR seeks an audience with Sultan of Perak to dissolve the assembly or MB Zambry will have the honour to do it? This impasse has a negative impact on the state and its people. Just hold snap polls to end this deadlock. However UMNO/BN is so intent on avoiding another electoral battle.

However, the gomen will find an even much faster way to rule the state indefinitely by means of declaring a state of emergency like it did in Kelantan in the 1978. But, hopefully it wont just happen yet.

According to Pat Lah, the move to suspend Perak MB Zambry Abdul Kadir and his 6 excos is tantamount to disrespecting the sultan's decision. "The speaker cannot do it (suspend the seven) - the menteri besar and excos were appointed by the sultan legally".
“This (the suspension) is a plot. It is a plot with bad intention to oust the BN government in Perak" he added.
MCPX"The speaker cannot do it (suspend the seven) - the MB and excos were appointed by the Sultan legally. This kind of action can be regarded as not respecting the sultan's decision.

Helloooooo......what about disrespecting the rakyat's decision? It was the rakyat who chose PR over BN to rule Perak, but Najib and his bag full of $$$ created pandemonium in the administration. Who initiated the plot? Who hijacked the PR wakil rakyat to Pekan and Putrajaya?

Meanwhile, Perak MB Zambry Abdul Kadir said he and the 6 exco members will take “follow-up” actions following their suspensions by the state legislative assembly’s Rights and Privileges Committee.

He declined to say what the actions would be but said that the suspensions were made “in total disregard to the power of the Sultan of Perak to appoint the Menteri Besar and the executive council.”

One wonders why Zambry didnt think about any "follow-up" action when he was 'illegally' installed as the Perak MB?

What's next for UMNO/BN?

Pat Lah wants the MB to make a police report and ultimately bring the issue to court. But does these action provide an effective and definitive solution? Article 72 spells out the privileges of the all state legislative assemblies, whereby the validity of its proceedings cannot be questioned in court. Thus going back to the Perakians will be much of a better choice.

Meanwhile Zambry and his goons will invoke the name of Sultan by accusing PR disrespecting the sultan's decision and at the same time will be chanting the UMNO mantra of “Hidup Melayu!” Again UMNO/BN is dragging the Sultan for another round of their wayang kulit..........

It sad to see that everything that UMNO/BN touches turn to shit..........

Anwar laments inaction by MACC against BN agents involve of enticement............

Opposition leader and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) de-facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim alleged that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had yet to act against Barisan Nasional (BN) agents including former Kedah Menteri Besar and Kedah BN chairman Datuk Seri Mahazir Khalid despite concrete evidence of enticement recorded by commission officers themselves.

Revealing this in the Dewan Rakyat during his debate on the royal address, Anwar in speaking about the alleged bribes, kidnapping and threats used to lure Pakatan Rakyat (PR) elected representatives to leave the party or jump ship said Kulim assemblyman Lim Soo Nee who was one of those who were lured had been used as a bait by the commission to gather evidence against the agents.

“On April 11, 2008, I received a report that BN agents representing Mahazir had offered Lim RM4 million to defect to BN, and this sum was later raised to RM5 million,” he said.

“Arrangement to introduce Lim to Mahazir and the Deputy Prime Minister were also promised,” he added.

Anwar said Lim who was harassed with this offers and persuasions throughout April, May, June and July 2008 lodged a report with the MACC and collaborated with the commission which made a CCTV recording of a meeting between Lim and Mahazir arranged at a hotel in Seberang Jaya at the end of 2008.

“However till today there has been no follow up and I understand that the officer in charge of the investigations had been transferred out of Kedah,” he said.

Anwar when met outside the Dewan was however non-committal when asked if he had a copy of the CCTV recording saying: “You will know at the right time.”

“Lim told us the ACA did it professionally- the voices and visuals are clear,” he said adding that the party lawyer was also present at the time the recording of the negotiations was being taken.

Anwar claimed there was ample evidence, enough to prefer charge.

“This is a test for the MACC and its independence after all the support and belief that we have shown for the new council,” he said during the debate.

He said he had proof and statements to show that there have been attempts by BN agents to entice PR assemblymen in Kedah to leave the coalition and thus cause the downfall of the PR leadership in Kedah led by Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak.

Among these were Tan Wei Shu who received threats to his life in the form of bullets, while his colleague and Kedah executive council member V.Arumugam had received threats that he will face the same fate as the late Lunas assemblyman Joe Fernandez who was shot to death, harassed by two men and had the rear windscreen of his official car smashed with a brick. Anwar questioned the delays and lapses in police and MACC investigations into reports of these threats and harassment.

Immunity

Anwar also gave a lengthy history lesson on the immunity enjoyed by Malay Rulers quoting history books and his experience in drafting the amendments which led to the Rulers using this immunity when he was a minister in the government. “I know the history behind this and the
discussions that went on in Cabinet pertaining this,” he said.

Anwar also questioned UMNO over their failure to address the disrespect to the rulers when their party members protested in front of the palaces of Perlis and Kuala Terengganu when they disliked the rulers choice for Mentri Besars.

Now you are talking so much about supporting the rulers following the protests in front of the palace in Kuala Kangsar following the Sultan's decision to appoint BN as the new state government following the resignation of three PR state assemblymen from their respective parties to become independents aligned to the BN.

Perak - Zamry dan Exconya digantung...........

MB Perak Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir digantung serta merta dan dilarang daripada menghadiri sesi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Perak selama 18 bulan. Sementara enam Anggota Majlis Mesyuarat (Exco) kerajaan negeri digantung selama 12 bulan daripada menghadiri sesi DUN juga berkuatkuasa hari ini. Speaker DUN Perak V. Sivakumar mengumumkan keputusan itu selepas Zambry dan enam Exco berkenaan tampil di hadapan Jawatankuasa Hak dan Kebebasan DUN di sini hari ini.

Kesemua tujuh Adun BN itu sebelum ini diberi notis saman supaya tampil di hadapan jawatankuasa itu berikutan aduan Adun Canning (DAP), Wong Kah Woh, bahawa majlis angkat sumpah jawatan mereka bertentangan dengan Undang-undang Tubuh Negeri Perak dan menghina DUN kerana Menteri Besar Ke-10, Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, belum meletak jawatan secara rasmi.

Sivakumar berkata setelah meneliti aduan tersebut, beliau mendapati satu kes prima facie terhadap Zambry (Adun Pangkor), Datuk Ramly Zahari (Manong), Datuk Saarani Mohamad (Kota Tampan), Hamidah Osman (Sungai Rapat), Zainol Fadzi Paharuddin (Sungai Manik), Mohd Zahir Abdul Khalid (Kamunting) dan Dr Mah Hang Soon (Chenderiang).

"Keputusan ini diambil selepas mendapati kesemua mereka gagal dan tidak memberikan sebarang penjelasan dalam Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Hak dan Kebebasan yang diadakan hari ini.

"Mereka telah gagal menawarkan sebarang penjelasan atas tindakan mereka yang menghina Dewan Undangan Negeri," kata Sivakumar dalam satu kenyataan akhbar empat perenggan di sini lewat petang ini.

Selain Sivakumar, Jawatankuasa Hak dan Kebebasan DUN dianggotai Husin Din (Pas-Selingsing), Chan Ming Kai (PKR-Simpang Pulai), Ong Boon Piow (DAP-Tebing Tinggi), Loke Chee Yan (DAP-Kepayang) dan Sum Chok Leng (DAP-Bercham), manakala wakil tunggal Barisan Nasional (BN) ialah Datuk Hasbullah Osman (Temenggor).

Sebelum itu, kesemua tujuh Adun terbabit telah dipanggil untuk memberi keterangan pada pukul 3 petang di Bilik Mesyuarat Bahagian Kewangan, Bangunan Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri di sini.

Zambry dan enam Exco itu yang dilihat keluar dari bilik mesyuarat itu pada kira-kira 3.30 petang enggan memberikan sebarang komen kepada pemberita yang menunggu.

This is nothing new, the Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat has previously made some absurd and illogical decisions, such as rejecting motions and suspending members, among others. Now it is the turn of the BN to taste its own medicine. After all the new MB hasnt even warm his seat. Politics can be very amusing........

Gomen Perak dah jadi cacamerba. Tak tau siapakah MB yang sah. Jalan yang elok sekali adalah bubar saja DUN Perak dan adakan pilihanraya.

Saya harap gomen Pat Lah tidak akan cuba kekal kuasa dengan mengistiharkan darurat seperti pernah dilakukan di Kelantan pada tahun 80'an dulu...........

PKR's Elizabeth Wong offer her resignation........

Elizabeth Wong, who has been thrust into controversy following the release of her nude photographs, has offered to resign as Selangor state executive councillor and Bukit Lanjan state assemblyman. She told a news conference at the PKR headquarters today that she would discuss with Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim arrangements for the handover of her responsibilities.

Wong, 37, is the state executive councillor in charge of tourism, consumer affairs and environment. In an emotionally-charged news conference and surrounded by about 30 supporters, Wong said the incident was an underhanded attempt by certain quarters to smear her reputation.

"My personal life and privacy have been violated. These people have conspired to undermine my credibility both as a Selangor state executive council member as well as a Parti Keadilan Rakyat leader," she said.

Wong, who was intermittently wiping her tears throughout the news conference, also maintained that she did not break any law.

"I have done nothing wrong. I wish to state that I am not ashamed of my sexuality as a woman and as a single person. I have broken no law," she said.

"I stand by the fundamental principle in a democracy that everyone has a right to privacy," she added.

Wong said that the decision to offer her resignation as the Selangor executive councillor and state assemblyman was made in the interest of the party.

"Although the smear campaign directed towards me has caused me a lot of anguish, I am aware that the real objective is to discredit Parti Keadilan Rakyat," she claimed.

Wong said she believed that the "attacks" to discredit the party would continue with greater intensity.

"Accordingly, I have decided to make a stand in the interest of the party and its struggle for the people," she said.

Wong lodged a police report at the Damansara police station on Sunday following the circulation of her nude photographs.

source:BERNAMA

I despised people who would stoop so low to intrude and violate into one's privacy. At the same time I feel Eli Wong should be patient and wait until the police finish their investigation. Only then she should decide whether to stay or leave. She has done a wonderful job and with an excellent track record................

Ku Li - "Nizar masih MB Perak yang sah"...........

“Biar saya lanjutkan apa yang pernah saya katakan mengenai status Menteri Besar”

Perlembagaan adalah undang-undang tertinggi di negara ini. Ia merupakan asas dan sumber kepada kuasa undang-undang, dan Raja-Raja telah bersumpah untuk mempertahankannya.

Menurut Perlembagaan, Dato’ Seri Ir Haji Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin adalah Menteri Besar sehinggalah beliau meletak jawatan atas kerelaannya, atau disingkirkan melalui undi tidak percaya menerusi persidangan dewan undangan negeri. Perlembagaan tidak mempunyai sebarang peruntukan untuk menyingkirkannya melalui cara lain, termasuk melalui petisyen atau arahan daripada mana-mana pihak berkuasa.

Dua prinsip perlu dijelaskan:

Pertama, kerajaan yang memerintah diasaskan menurut undang-undang dan prinsip yang terdapat dalam Perlembagaan. Inilah yang membezakan di antara kerajaan yang dibentuk secara sah dan yang dibentuk secara kekerasan melalui undang-undang rimba.

Kedua, kerajaan yang dibentuk secara sah menurut Perlembagaan memperolehi kuasanya daripada mandat yang diberikan rakyat, hanya melalui cara itu. Mandat diberikan oleh rakyat kerana kerajaan itu dibentuk menurut Perlembagaan, dan pemimpin-pemimpinnya mereka pilih melalui pilihan raya yang bebas dan adil.

Kita perlu menguji mandat ini secara berkala. Pada waktu-waktu penting seperti apabila sesebuah kerajaan akan dibentuk atau dibubarkan, Perlembagaan memperuntukkan kaedah ujian yang formal dan definitif untuk mengukur sejauh mana mandat rakyat diperolehi oleh kerajaan berkenaan.

Jadi, kita adakan pilihan raya untuk menguji sejauh mana sokongan di kalangan rakyat yang diperolehi oleh seseorang calon pimimpin. Persoalan dikemukakan dalam pilihan raya yan dikawal oleh undang-undang dan persetujuan yang mendahului masa.

Jika pilihan raya tidak diadakan, atau sekiranya pilihan raya itu diragui kebebasan dan keadilannya, maka persoalankeabsahan kepimpinan tidak dapat ditentukan.

Walau seramai mana pun orang berarak dan meneriakkan nama anda, semuanya itu tidak diambil kira. Anda perlu membuktikan bahawa anda mempunyai sokongan pengundi melalui pilihan raya yang bebas dan adil.

Sama juga, Perlembagaan menyediakan satu kaedah definitif untuk menguji sama ada seseorang Menteri Besar atau Perdana Menteri masih mempunyai majoriti di Dun atau Parlimen. Kita akan kemukakan undi tidak percaya di Dun atau Parlimen.

Apa yang akan diambil kira nanti ialah keputusan persidangan tersebut. Ia tidak mengambil kira sebanyak mana akuan bersumpah, peralihan sokongan, sidang media dan perisytiharan yang dibuat. Ia juga tidak mengambil kira berapa banyak bentuk pengiklanan, pameran, tarikan dan tenaga yang ditanggung bagi menghadapi persoalan tersebut.

Bagi menguji secara formal mandat kerajaan sekarang, sama ada di Perak, Sabah atau kerajaan Persekutuan, persoalan perlu dikemukakan kepada rakyat melalui pilihan raya negeri, atau menerusi persidangan melalui undi formal di dewan. Inilah ujian-ujian yang diambil kira dalam demokrasi berperlembagaan kita.

Inilah juga apa yang diertikan sebagai demokrasi berparlimen. Untuk menyingkir atau membentuk kerajaan melalui cara selain itu akan menyalahi Perlembagaan, melunturkan kuasa undang-undang dan berhadapan dengan risiko pembentukan kerajaan yang haram.

Pihak berkuasa yang sah hanya boleh ditubuhkan melalui kaedah demokratik seperti yang disebut oleh Perlembagaan. Kuasa yang sah dan betul berbeza sepenuhnya daripada kuasa buas yang boleh dibeli, jual atau dirampas menggunakan kekuatan.

Peguam Sirul minta kes Altantuya dibicara semula.....


Koperal Sirul Azhar Umar, salah seorang tertuduh kes pembunuhan wanita Mongolia, Altantuya Shaariibuu hari ini meminta dia dibebaskan ataupun sebagai alternatif, mengisytiharkan sebagai kesilapan perbicaraan bagi membolehkan ia didengar semula membabitkan kesemua tiga tertuduh.

Peguamnya, Kamarul Hisham Kamaruddin membuat penghujahan pagi ini di hadapan Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi Mohd Zaki Md Yasin.

Selain Sirul, turut dituduh ialah anggota Unit Tindakan Khas, Cif Inspektor Azilah Hadri.

Azilah, 33, dan Sirul Azhar, 37, diperintahkan membela diri atas tuduhan membunuh Altantuya di lokasi antara lot 12843 dan 16735 Mukim Bukit Raja, Selangor antara 10 malam, 19 Oktober hingga 1 pagi 20 Oktober 2006.

Tertuduh ketiga, Abdul Razak Baginda, penganalisis politik, sudah pun dibebaskan akhir tahun lalu.

Awal bulan ini, Sirul berkata, dia telah "menjadi kambing hitam yang harus dikorbankan untuk melindungi rancangan dan niat jahat mereka."

Sirul yang juga tertuduh kedua dalam kes pembunuhan Altantuya berkata, dia tidak mempunyai sebab untuk mencederakan apatah lagi mengambil nyawa mangsa dengan begitu kejam.

"Saya tidak pernah mengenali mangsa di dalam kes ini dan tidak pernah mempunyai sebarang urusan peribadi atau sebaliknya dengannya. Saya juga tidak mengenali Abdul Razak Abdullah Baginda dan tidak mempunyai urusan.

"Saya merayu kepada mahkamah ini untuk mengambil kira sepanjang perbicaraan kes ini, saya mengikuti prosiding dan menyaksikan bagaimana beberapa saksi penting pendakwaan terutama dari D9 Ibu Pejabat Polis Kontinjen yang mereka cerita, tidak bercakap benar dan sentiasa mengubah cerita apabila disoal balas," katanya.

Sambil mengesat air mata, Sirul merayu kepada mahkamah yang katanya berada dalam kedudukan serta mempunyai kuasa untuk menentukan hidup dan matinya, supaya tidak menghukumnya.

Katanya, Azilah meminta pertolongannya untuk membuat rondaan di sebuah banglo di Bukit Damansara iaitu rumah rakan Deputi Superintendan (DSP) Musa Safri yang dimaklumkan mempunyai `masalah perempuan'.

source: mStar online

Dari awal lagi kes Altantuya ini telah menimbulkan banyak pertanyaan dan syak wasangka. Bermula dengan pertukaran hakim dan diikuti dengan pertukaran pasukan pendakwa seoalah-olah memberi gambaran bahawa ada sesuatu yang tidak kena.

Sirul sendiri pernah berkata,"
Saya merayu kepada mahkamah ini untuk mengambil kira sepanjang perbicaraan kes ini, saya mengikuti prosiding dan menyaksikan bagaimana beberapa saksi penting pendakwaan terutama dari D9 Ibu Pejabat Polis Kontinjen yang mereka cerita, tidak bercakap benar dan sentiasa mengubah cerita apabila disoal balas."

Dalam keadaan kalam kabut ini maka tak hairanlah kalu mahkamah mengambil keputusan untuk membuang kes ini kerana tidak ada bukti-bukti sahih bagi membabitkan pihak tertuduh. Seorang tertuduh dah terlepas. Apakah mungkin dua tertuduh ini menerima nasib yang sama dengan Razak Baginda? Sebaliknya makhamah mungkin mendapati ada lembaga hitam yang tak dikenali yang pasang dan meletupkan C4 tersebut.

The unfortunate Altantuya was probably forced to go naked,raped before being murdered so brutally by these UTK gangsters........

Akhir cerita, Altantuya mati katak sajalah.....sedangkan pembunuh-pembunuhnya bebas & berketawa riang.........

Baca di sini dan sini.

Bila SPR berfikir macam budak-budak...........

Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) menafikan jurang tempoh hampir dua bulan berlangsungnya pilihan raya kecil Bukit Gantang dan Bukit Selambau dipengaruhi ataupun kerana tekanan Umno dan Barisan Nasional (BN).

Sebaliknya, SPR menjelaskan, bulan Mac tidak sesuai untuk diadakan kedua-dua pilihan raya kecil berkenaan disebabkan pelbagai faktor termasuk keperluan suruhanjaya itu sendiri membuat persediaan.Sambil mengakui ini kali pertama sesuatu pilihan raya kecil diadakan dalam tempoh agak lama, hampir dua bulan sejak wujudnya kekosongan, Timbalan Pengerusi SPR, Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar berkata, hari pengundian 7 April merupakan masa yang sesuai dan selesa bagi semua pihak.

"Kita ada 60 hari (untuk mengadakan pilihan raya kecil), mengapa tidak menggunakan dengan baik 60 hari dan membolehkan semua orang gembira dan selesa membuat persiapan menghadapi pilihan raya kecil.

"Bulan Mac sebenarnya tidak sesuai kerana faktor keselamatan dan ketegangan serta banyak aktiviti dijalankan bulan depan," katanya beliau kepada mStar Onlinelewat malam tadi.

Mesyuarat penggal kedua Parlimen ke-12 bermula esok.SPR memutuskan tarikh pilihan raya kedua-dua kerusi berkenaan Jumaat lalu.Kedua-dua pilihan raya kecil berkenaan akan diadakan serentak pada 7 April dengan hari penamaan adalah 29 Mac iaitu sehari selepas berakhirnya Perhimpunan Agung Tahunan Umno.

Ketika ditanya sama ada keputusan SPR itu bertujuan memihak kepada Umno dan BN, Wan Ahmad berkata: "Itu tidak betul... ia tidak memberi kelebihan kepada BN, Umno."

"Itu tanggapan tidak betul, bahawa tempoh yang panjang ini memihak kepada BN sahaja, tetapi ia memberi peluang kepada mana-mana parti yang akan bertanding untuk bersedia dan menghadapi pilihan raya (kecil) ini," ujar beliau.

Malah tegas beliau, SPR memutuskan tarikh-tarikh berkenaan bukan kerana adanya tekanan daripada Umno dan BN.

"Faktor untuk mewujudkan keselesaan kepada semua, tidak kira kepada BN dan Umno.

"Semua pihak harus lihat dari sudut positif kerana keputusan SPR memberi kebaikan dan keselesaan kepada semua," katanya.

Beliau mengakui bahawa pihaknya juga mempertimbangkan laporan dalaman bahawa persekitaran semasa di Perak yang agak tegang tidak sesuai untuk mengadakan pilihan raya kecil.

"Suasana di negeri Perak... kita ada maklumat keadaan politik yang tidak stabil dan aktiviti politik yang panas, aktiviti kempen akan meningkat dan boleh mengancam ketenteraman awam kalau betul-betul tidak bersedia," katanya.

Beliau juga mengakui bahawa pihaknya mengambil kira pemilihan dan perhimpunan tahunan Umno hujung bulan depan.

"Kalau orang faham betul-betul... kita hendak semua orang selesa... Umno mengadakan pemilihan parti, jika BN menghadapi dalam keadaan tidak selesa... kita hendak semua parti selesa dan menghadapi pilihan raya dalam keadaan yang tenang," katanya.

Dari segi logistik, jelas Wan Ahmad, pihaknya memerlukan masa untuk melatih pekerja pilihan raya yang 90 peratus terdiri daripada guru. Katanya, sebahagian besar guru terbabit merupakan mereka yang baru diambil bertugas sempena pilihan raya kecil, pekerja-pekerja berkenaan memerlukan latihan secukupnya.

"Pegawai pilihan raya negeri telah meminta agar diberikan masa yang secukupnya untuk melatih mereka, yang akan melalui dua pusingan latihan iaitu latihan teori dan latihan amal sebab ramai pekerja pilihan raya adalah muka baru.

"Oleh itu, SPR juga mengambil kira aspek ini bagi membolehkan mereka menjalankan tugas dengan baik dan penuh keyakinan," katanya.

Kerusi Parlimen Bukit Gantang melibatkan 650 pekerja manakala kerusi Bukit Selambau pula kira-kira 450 orang.

source:mStar online

SPR boleh mengadakan PRK pada 21/3,22/3,28/3,29,4/4,5/4...semuanya tarikh hari sabtu dan ahad tetapi kenapa pilih 7/4?

Kononnya, 60 hari membolehkan semua orang gembira dan selesa membuat persiapan menghadapi PRK adalah alasan yang paling biol. Samada 60 hari,30 hari atau 10 hari orang tak pernah gembira dan selesa menghadapi sesuatu PRK.

Satu lagi alasan yang diberi SPR ialah bulan Mac tidak sesuai untuk diadakan kedua-dua pilihan raya kecil berkenaan disebabkan pelbagai faktor termasuk keperluan suruhanjaya itu sendiri membuat persediaan. Hellooooooo...tugas SPR adalah mengendalikan pemilu atau PRK dan mendaftar pemilih. Itu saja kerja SPR. Pemilu 5 tahu sekali. Pendaftaran pemilih ongoing dan PRK jika keadaan memerlukan. Jadi apakah jadah dibuatnya sepanjang masa ini? Cakap sajalah tak boleh buat bulan Mac,pasai UMNO nak adakan AGM....cukup!

SPR berkata"Pegawai pilihan raya negeri telah meminta agar diberikan masa yang secukupnya untuk melatih mereka....." Helloooo...pegawai pilihanraya ini 99% adalah orang yang sama,nak latih apa lagi? Mungkin SPR nak melatih macam mana nak menipu kot!

Kenapa hari mengundi dibuat pada hari Selasa 7 April 2009? Hari itu bukanlah hari yang sesuai kerana hari Selasa itu "a working day" dan sudah tentu majikan tak akan lepaskan pengundi untuk balik mengundi. Datuk Wan...U punya otak letak kat mana?

SPR boleh cakap apa saja,tapi yang jelas tingkahlaku SPR sememangnya menjadi pak turut UMNO/BN. Alasan yang Datuk Wan bagi tu macam budak-budak sekolah yang masih berhingus........... Pendek kata semua ini adalah diatur untuk memberi advantage kepada UMNO/BN, jangan dok mai kelentong di sini............

Malaysia's new PM faces referendum in April polls……….

Malaysia's incoming Prime Minister will face his first referendum in two simultaneous by-elections just days after taking office in early April.

The polls, to be held a month after the government's rollout of a second stimulus package, will also gauge public acceptance of Najib Razak's management of a country whose exports are tumbling and whose economy looks set to slide into its first likely recession in eight years.

The outcome of the votes will not alter the national political power balance, but opposition victory will keep Anwar Ibrahim and his alliance on track as contenders to win power in the next general elections due by 2013.

Anwar's People's Alliance won control of five of Malaysia's 13 states and denied the government its iron-clad two-thirds parliament majority in last year's general elections. It has also won two by-elections in the last six months, but suffered a recent setback after losing control of the state of Perak in a political coup by the National Front.

"Whether intended or not, the timing of the two polls means it will be seen as referendum on Najib as Prime Minister," said Ibrahim Suffian, director of respected opinion pollster the Merdeka Center for Opinion Research.

The by-elections, called after the death of an MP in Perak and the resignation of a state lawmaker in neighbouring Kedah state, will be held simultaneously on April 7, the Election Commission announced Friday. The polls are a just week after Najib takes office as Malaysia's sixth Prime Minister with poll ratings that stand at 41 percent versus 46 percent for incumbent Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

That the polls will happen only after Najib's United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) party completes internal elections where Najib stands unopposed as party president, will allow the party to close ranks before heading for the vote. The Democratic Action Party (DAP), one of three members of the People's Alliance, accused the Election Commission of giving UMNO, the lead component in the National Front, an unfair advantage.

"The fractious and internecine UMNO party elections until March 28 had been the primary consideration of the Election Commission ... so that the campaign will be held after the UMNO elections and Najib has become the Prime Minister," said DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang.

Observers are keenly watching how voters will take to the second stimulus package that Najib, who is also finance minister, will table in parliament on March 10.

Najib has not revealed any details about the spending plans beyond the fact that it will be larger than the 7 billion Malaysian ringgit ($1.94 billion) stimulus announced in November. Najib on Thursday announced a 21 million ringgit allocation from the second stimulus package would be given to mission schools in the eastern states of Sabah and Sarawak, where Anwar has been trying to make inroads.

Campaigning will be especially intense for the Bukit Gantang parliament seat in Perak, where public anger over the coup against the Pakatan Rakyat remains high. Merdeka Center's poll of Perak residents released on Thursday found 66 percent of respondents said they rejected the Najib-engineered takeover.- by Razak Ahmad
