Malaysia minta Isreal melobi agar KL jadi tuan rumah Persidangan Gas Dunia...

PKR mendedahkan bahawa Umno BN memohon bantuan dari Israel sewaktu melobi untuk menjadi tuan rumah Persidangan Gas Sedunia (World Gas Conference) yang akan berlangsung pada 4 hingga 8 Jun depan.

Setiausaha Agung PKR, Datuk Saifuddin Nasution Ismail berkata, pendekatan merayu bantuan Israel itu turut mendapat restu dan nasihat Wisma Putra.

"Keadilan mempunyai bukti yang mengesahkan sikap talam dua muka Umno yang secara diam-diam merestui hubungan dua hala di antara Malaysia dan Israel sedang ia menyerang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sebagai ejen Israel," kata beliau pada sidang media di lobi Parlimen hari ini.

Beliau turut  menunjukkan satu surat dari wakil Malaysia kepada wakil Israel yang mengesahkan bahawa Wisma Putra telah merestui pendekatan merayu bantuan dan sokongan Israel demi mendapatkan hak penganjuran sebuah persidangan antarabangsa.

Penganjuran persidangan itu, kata Saifuddin dikendalikan oleh Persatuan Gas Malaysia yang diwakili oleh Petronas dan dinasihati mantan Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Persidangan itu adalah persidangan terbesar yang akan mengumpulkan syarikat-syarikat minyak dan gas dari seluruh negara.

Justeru, Saifuddin mendesak Wisma Putra dan Tun Mahathir menjelaskan pendirian mereka berhubung perkara itu kerana ia bertentangan dengan solidariti rakyat malaysia yang memperjuangkan hak rakyat Palestin.

"Sikap Umno dan pimpinan mereka yang menentukan dasar Wisma Putra adalah bertentangan dengan keinginan rakyat Malaysia yang tidak mahu ada sebarang hubungan diplomat menentik sama ada secara langsung atau tidak langsung dengan Israel," katanya yang juga Ahli Parlimen Machang.-harakahdaily

Gov't sought Israeli vote to host gas meet...

PKR has documentary evidence to prove that the Malaysian government had sought Israel’s support and vote for it to host the World Gas Conference scheduled to be held on June 4-8.

 

The party’s secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail (left) said he has obtained reports, letters and other documents as proof of Umno’s hypocrisy over its ties with Israel.

“The conference gathers major oil and gas companies from all over the world.

"The organisation of the conference is based on vote by members of the International Gas Union (IGU) which includes Malaysia, Russia, Israel, Brunei, Indonesia and some others.

“The government had lobbied to hold the conference and sought Israel’s help to support Malaysia’s candidacy as host.

“Malaysia also indirectly offered to manage the registration and accommodation of Israeli representatives who attended the 2005 IGU Conference in Tianjin, China,” Saifuddin told the media in parliament house today.


He said the manner taken to seek Israel’s help and blessings, and also to seek Wisma Putra’s advise towards the organising of the event by the Malaysian Gas Association (MGA), which represents Petronas, and former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad as advisor, is questionable.

Saifuddin claimed PKR has evidence of Mahathir’s and Wisma Putra’s blessings for the MGA to appeal for Israel’s support towards getting the rights to organise the triennial conference.

The PKR secretary-general also showed a letter written by a Malaysian representative to his Israeli counterpart, which verifies that Wisma Putra had approved the approach used for Malaysia to seek Israel’s support.
 

Evidence of Umno's hyprocrisy

“Umno leaders’ attitude in determining Wisma Putra’s policy is against the desire of Malaysians who do not want any diplomatic relations with Israel.

“This expose proves Umno leadership’s hypocrisy on issues pertaining to ties with Israel as it shows they want to establish diplomatic ties, and also proves that they are willing to bow down to get Israel’s support.

“PKR urges Wisma Putra and Mahathir to state their stand on allowing the organisers to appeal for help from Israel as this is against the solidarity of Malaysians in supporting the Palestinian cause,” said Saifuddin.

For the past few weeks Umno and its media have been attacking Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim over his Wall Street Journal interview claiming that the Permatang Pauh MP supported the Israeli cause.

Anwar, however, claimed that the mainstream media had taken the report and his statement out of context.

Foreign Minister Anifah Aman had also said that Malaysia does not have ties with Israel.-malaysiakini
