Kata Anwar, pemilihan Murnie dibuat selepas perbincangan dengan pelbagai peringkat parti.-keadilandaily

 

Pahang PKR chief Fauzi to contest Indera Mahkota

Pahang PKR chief Fauzi Abdul Rahman has been announced as party candidate for the Indera Mahkota parliamentary seat in the upcoming 13th general election.

PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim said Fauzi would be replacing incumbent MP Azan Ismail, who would be contesting in Terengganu.
"Fauzi (right) is an old friend and we decided he should contest in Indera Mahkota," he told a ceramah in Balok Makmur, near Kuantan, last night.

In the 2008 general election, PKR won the seat when Azan defeated Salamon Ali Rizal Abdul Rahman of BN with a majority of 1,027 votes.

Fauzi had served as parliamentary secretary to the Information Ministry from October 1990 to May 1995. He was then parliamentary secretary to the Land and Cooperative Development Ministry from 1995 to 1997.

From 1997-1999, he was deputy minister in the Prime Minister's Department and was Kuantan Umno chief. On July 23, 2008, Fauzi resigned from Umno and joined PKR.

Fuziah to defend Kuantan

Meanwhile, PKR vice-president Fuziah Salleh will be defending her Kuantan parliamentary seat.

"We have decided that Fuziah (far left) will get to defend the Kuantan seat," Anwar told another rally in Kampung Sungai Isap 2, Kuantan.

At 2008 general election, Fuziah beat MCA candidate Fu Ah Kiow with a majority of 1,826 votes.

Fuziah garnered 18,398 votes, while Fu bagged 16,572 votes.

In the 2008 general election, BN lost two of the 14 parliamentary seats in Pahang, namely Indera Mahkota and Kuantan. - Bernama

Divisions back Wan Azizah to contest in S’gor...

A division chief says the arrival of the PKR chief in Selangor will unite the party in the face of a strong BN challenge. Selangor PKR grassroots leaders have responded positively to party president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail’s intention of contesting a state seat here, with six PKR division chiefs expected to hold their own separate press conferences in the near future in support of her.

A source told FMT today the divisions that support Wan Azizah’s candidacy in Selangor are Klang, Kapar, Kuala Langat, Hulu Langat, Hulu Selangor and Sungai Besar divisions.

The Klang division is expected to call for a press conference tomorrow to show their support for Wan Azizah.

He said the grassroots leaders opined that Wan Azizah’s arrival would raise party members’ morale and enhance unity in the face of a crucial general election battle.

He said some division chiefs have offered Wan Azizah the seats of Sementa or Pelabuhan Klang to contest.

PKR lost control of Pelabuhan Klang following the defection of its elected assemblyman Badrul Hisham Abdullah to Umno in 2010. Whereas in Sementa, the PKR candidate did not show up on the nomination day in 2008 GE, making BN the winner of the seat by default.

“Both seats are made up of Malay majority voters. We need a party heavyweight like Wan Azizah to convince them to vote for Pakatan,” he said.

There were also talks that Wan Azizah would stand in one of the state seats in the Shah Alam parliamentary constituency.

News about Wan Azizah’s return to active politics surfaced after she said she was eligible to contest in a state seat when asked yesterday.

New Straits Times reported that the wife of Anwar Ibrahim may be eyeing the Selangor Menteri Besar post.

Originally elected as Permatang Pauh parliamentarian in the 2008 general election, Wan Azizah resigned a few months later to make way for her husband’s return to politics.

Following that, she has been banned from contesting any parliamentary seats for five years.

Asked whether the division chiefs who supported Wan Azizah were not in favour of Selangor PKR chief Azmin Ali, Klang PKR division chief Yew Boon Lye denied this.

“This is not about factional fights. But since Selangor BN has appointed (Prime Minister) Najib Tun Razak as its chief, we think it would be good to have our party president to also come down.

“Pakatan’s chances in Selangor would be strengthened further if Azmin, (current MB) Khalid Ibrahim and Wan Azizah all win,” he said, adding that the party leadership would decide on the choice of MB if Pakatan retains power.

The Selangor legislature assembly would be automatically dissolved on April 22, ahead of Parliament which would dissolve on April 29.-FMT

UMNO/BN akan terus menipu untuk pertahan Putrajaya...

Umno BN akan menggunakan pelbagai penipuan asalkan pilihan raya umum (PRU) nanti tidak dimenangi Pakatan Rakyat.

Aktivis Hishamuddin Rais berkata, strategi berterusan Umno BN itu bagi memastikan kemenangan berpihak kepada mereka.

Katanya, mereka menjadikan PRU ke-13 bukan sekadar pertarungan merebut undi tetapi perlawanan penipuan untuk mengekalkan kuasa.

“Umno BN tidak akan mudah menyerah mandat kepada Pakatan Rakyat. Mereka tetap akan meneruskan penipuan.

“Sebagai orang terlibat langsung dengan Bersih, saya melihat perlawanan ini bukan perlawanan satu undi untuk satu pengundi. Kami dapati setiap hari ada aduan mengenai kehilangan nama dalam senarai pengundi.

Mereka hanya boleh mengundi untuk Parlimen tapi tidak boleh untuk Adun, alamat ditukar dan pelbagai lagi.

“Tan Sri Khalid (Ibrahim) contohnya sebagai Menteri Besar Selangor, mestilah mengundi di Selangor, tetapi ditukar kepada Seksyen 16 dalam kawasan Lembah Pantai.

“Ahli Parlimen Lembah Pantai, Nurul Izzah Anwar pula pada PRU 2008 menang dengan undi 2,000 dan sekarang mereka (Umno BN) mulakan proses memasukkan pengundi tambahan sebanyak 19,000. 

Walaupun Izzah membawa kes ini ke mahkamah tapi segalanya dikawal, ini yang berlaku,” kata Ahli Jawatankuasa Pemandu Bersih itu.

Beliau berkata demikian pada Forum ‘PRU 13, Ke Mana Malaysia?’ anjuran bersama Strategic Information and Research Development Center (SIRD) dan Malaysiakini di Dewan Perhimpunan Cina Kuala Lumpur-Selangor (KLSCAH), malam tadi.

Antara panelis lain ialah Editor Malaysiakini, Steven Gan; Pegawai Eksekutif Pusat Kewartawanan Bebas (CIJ) dan Produser Radio BFM, Sharaad Kuttan. Turut hadir, Timbalan Ketua Penerangan Angkatan Muda KEADILAN (AMK), Rozan Azen Mat Rasip.

Mengulas lanjut, Hishamuddin turut memberi contoh penipuan Umno BN.

“Seperti yang berlaku di Felda Sungai Tengi, Kuala Kubu Bharu. Presiden Persatuan Anak Peneroka Felda Kebangsaan (Anak), Mazlan Aliman dihalang dari memasuki Felda itu hanya untuk berceramah.

“Berapa nilai Felda itu? RM100 juta? RM200 juta. Bagaimana pula Putrajaya berharga berbilion-bilion, bertrilion-trilion? Sudah tentu mereka akan mempertahankannya habis-habisan,” kata beliau.

Tambah Hishamuddin, jika penipuan itu berterusan, rakyat tiada pilihan selain turun ke jalan raya sekali lagi.

“Dalam negara dunia ketiga ini, ‘real’ politik itu tidak wujud. Yang wujud adalah kekuasaan melalui wang ringgit. Ini dipraktikkan oleh Umno BN.

“Cara paling berkesan untuk menumbangkan rejim ini dengan turun ke jalan raya dan mendesak supaya dua pemimpin tertinggi dalam Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) yang dikaitkan dengan Umno BN berundur dan menubuhkan SPR yang benar-benar bebas supaya PRU bersih dan adil.

“Beberapa minggu lalu pilihan raya umum diadakan di Kenya. Apa yang berlaku? SPR Kenya memainkan peranan dalam memastikan parti pemerintah terus menang, keadaannya sama denganapa yang berlaku dalam negara kita,” tegasnya. – NS

Selangor Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim won his defamation lawsuit against former MACC chief Datuk Seri Ahmad Said and the government earlier this month.

Khalid wants contempt of court order against ex-MACC chief, AG's Chambers...

Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim has instructed his lawyers to initiate contempt of court proceedings against former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan and the government for failing to abide by a court order to publish a public apology.

A front-page public apology addressed to Khalid was to be published in The Star and the New Straits Times four days from March 19, when a consent judgment was entered against Ahmad Said and the Attorney-General's Chambers in a defamation suit filed by Khalid.

Six days had passed since the deadline expired, said Khalid in a statement today, but the apology read in court by the former MACC head had yet to be published.

"I'm very disappointed with Ahmad Said and the government for willing to go against the court order and risking contempt of court despite having agreed to terms before Kuala Lumpur High Court Judge Datuk Lau Bee Lan to publish a public apology on the front page of the newspapers.

"However, Ahmad Said and the government are irresponsible for purposely refusing to fulfil their end of the bargain within four days, as decided by the High Court," said Khalid.

Ahmad Said had read out an apology to Khalid before Justice Lau for accusing the menteri besar of abusing his powers by using state funds to maintain his personal car and to purchase 46 cows for Aidiladha celebrations in Bandar Tun Razak parliamentary constituency in 2009.

The former MACC head, however, defended his action on the grounds that the statement was not said with the intention of harming Khalid's reputation, but merely in response to reporters who had posed a question during a press conference on Feb 20, 2009 about investigations on the plaintiff.

Khalid had initiated the defamation suit against Ahmad Said, the MACC and the government for the libellous statement that he had abused his power as menteri besar.

The menteri besar added that Ahmad Said and the government had "failed" to execute the court's order although they were reminded of the matter by his lawyer.-fz

UMNO maki hamun,aib dengan video lucah,gelar dia peliwat,tudah dia agen Yahudi, tapi orang mai beribu2 ke ceramahnya...

Ceramah Jelajah Merdeka Rakyat di Tapak Pasar Malam MPS,Gombak malam 29hb Mac 2013 Gambar2 di bawah sudah cukup untuk menjelaskan segala2nya. Mungkin pasai ni kot Najib tak berani umum bila PRU 13...

Dalam keghairahan mahu menawan Putrajaya, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim tidak mahu memandang remeh terhadap saingan sengit yang mampu diberikan musuh politik mereka BN.

Dalam ceramahnya di Gombak, Kuala Lumpur malam tadi, ketua umum PKR itu meluahkan sikap hati-hatinya itu untuk kerusi Gombak, Pandan dan Lembah Pantai.

Ketiga-tiga kerusi itu akan ditandingi tokoh heavyweight PKR, iaitu Azmin Ali (timbalan presiden), Rafizi Ramli (pengarah strategi) dan Nurul Izzah (naib presiden yang juga anaknya) dalam pilihan raya umum akan datang.



"Fokus yang Umno mesti tumbangkan (adalah) Azmin di Gombak, Rafizi di Pandan dan Nurul Izzah di Lembah Pantai," katanya.

Dalam pilihan raya umum 2004, Azmin menewaskan calon BN Said Anuar Said Ahmad dengan majoriti 6,867 undi.

Nurul Izzah membuat kejutan dengan memalukan penyandang kerusi Lembah Pantai Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil, yang juga ketua Wanita Umno dan menteri kabinet pada masa itu dengan majoriti 2,895 undi.



 Manakala Rafizi pula akan membuat penampilan sulungnya dalam pilihan raya dengan turun ke kerusi yang disandang bekas presiden MCA Datuk Seri Ong Tek Kiat.

Ong bagaimanapun belum tentu terpilih mempertahankan kerusi itu daripada asakan Pakatan.

Sementara itu, tanpa memberikan sebarang perincian, Anwar mendakwa mendapat maklumat daripada sumber "sebelah perdana menteri" bahawa terdapat lebih banyak "fitnah" berkaitannya akan disebarkan dalam masa terdekat.



"Saya dapat maklumat dari sebelah Datuk Seri Najib, (dalam masa) dua tiga minggu lagi, lagi kacau, lagi dahsyat, lagi teruk dia (dari sebelah sana) punya caci dan fitnah," kata Anwar.

Kata Anwar, taktik itu tidak mensasarkan untuk mengolah krisis keyakinan terhadap beliau tetapi sekadar cukup "menimbulkan kecurigaan" bagi merencatkan kebangkitan rakyat.



"Mereka tidak mahu timbulkan krisis keyakinan dan mereka juga tidak kisah sama ada ia benar atau tidak benar.

"Mereka cuma mahu timbulkan sedikit kecurigaan sahaja," katanya.

Terbaru, Setiausaha Agung PKR Datuk Saifuddin Nasution Ismail mendakwa menerima maklumat bahawa video seks palsu menampilkan Nurul Izzah dan Menteri Besar Selangor Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim (dalam dua video berasingan) akan disebarkan.



Anwar malam tadi turut mengumumumkan Azmin dan seorang lagi naib presidennya Tian Chua akan mempertahankan kerusi yang dimenangi mereka dalam pilihan raya lalu di Gombak dan Batu.

Pengumuman pemilihan Tian Chua dibuat di kawasan Parlimen itu dalam ceramah sebelumnya.-malaysiakini

An UMNO friendly frog insulting Hindu deities...

UMNO-backed member of parliament Zulkifli Noordin's public insult to the Hindu religion as captured on a video clip now available on YouTube has been condemned by PKR vice president N Surendran.

"The words uttered by Zulkifli Noordin amount to one of the worst ever attacks upon a major religion in this country," said Surendran in a statement toHarakahdaily today.

The five-and-half minute undated clip (see link below) shows Zulkifli (right), sacked in 2010 by PKR and who was subsequently appointed as BN ally Perkasa's vice president, mocking Hindu deities.

In it, he recalled his conversation with a man in Jalan Masjid India, whose shop selling Hindu religious paraphernalia had been destroyed by flood water. Zulkifli mocked the seller by asking him why the Hindu deities in the shop did not protect it from flood.

Among others, Zulkifli, using a familiar accent to mock Malaysian Indians, described one of the Hindu deities as "tuhan kepala gajah".

"The more sophisticated one even has a blinking LED light," he told his audience, before recounting his conversation with the seller on the damage to his business.

"Tuhan pun kena ka? (Was God also destroyed?)" he asked the Hindu business owner. "Apa macam tuhan pun kena? (How come God was affected too?)"

He said people were jostling to buy damaged statues being sold at discount, including a lady who bought the elephant deity, or 'Ganesha', which had a broken trunk.

"I asked her why buy this damaged god, she replied, 'Never mind, I will go home and stick a plaster to it'.

"Their god has to be plastered!" Zuklifli jested, greeted by laughter from the audience.

"They knew it's stupid," he added.

Second attack by UMNO spokesman

Zulkifli then went on to mock the Ganges River, believed by Hindus to be sacred, as well as the tradition of coconut-breaking.

Surendran (left) said Zulkifli's speech was not only an offence under section 298A of the Penal Code for causing disharmony, feelings of enmity, hatred or ill-will, but also  a "vicious attack" on Malaysian Indians, the majority of whom are Hindus.

"This vicious attack by Zulkifli Noordin is a great affront to Malaysian Indians, the majority of whom are practising Hindus.

"We call upon the Inspector General of Police and the Attorney General to immediately investigate and charge Zulkifli Noordin under section 298A. PM Najib Razak's continued protection and support to his close ally PERKASA and its members such as Zulkifli Noordin proves the dishonesty and emptiness of BN's 1Malaysia slogan," said Surendran.

The remark by Zulkifli is the second by an UMNO propagandist directed at Hinduism.

Last month, Chinese-Muslim convert Ridhuan Tee Abdullah, a virulently pro-UMNO spokesman who appears on government-organised religious talk shows, made fun of the Hindu festival of Thaipusam, complaining of the traffic congestions caused by it.

(Watch Video)Saksikan Zulkifli Al-Kataki Menghina Agama Hindu

 A shop selling Hindu prayer equipment

Ridhuan's remark, which appeared in his article published by Sinar Harian, prompted a strong response from Vell Paari, the son of the former MIC strongman Samy Vellu, who threatened to quit the Indian-only party if the government failed to take action. At press time, however, Vell is still a member of MIC.

Though Islam is strongly opposed to any form of idol-worship, the Qur'an explicitly warns Muslims against insulting other religions, particularly deities worshipped by non-Muslims.

"And do not insult those they invoke other than Allah, lest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge. Thus We have made pleasing to every community their deeds," runs verse 108 in Surah al-An'am of the Qur'an. -harakahdaily

UMNO/BN dalang mendaftarkan rakyat sebagai pengundi tanpa pengetahuan mereka...

Umno-BN didakwa terlibat dalam kegiatan mendaftarkan rakyat Malaysia yang berada di luar negara sebagai pengundi demi memastikan parti itu terus berkuasa sebagai kerajaan di negara ini. 

Berikutan situasi itu Ahli Parlimen Klang, Charles Santiago mempersoalkan kredibiliti Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) sebagai badan bebas apabila mendedahkan kes penduduk Klang yang menetap di luar negara seperti  United Kingdom; Ireland dan Australia yang nama mereka didaftar tanpa pengetahuan.

Yang menghairankan, katanya, bagaimana maklumat seseorang rakyat itu diperolehi dan boleh didaftarkan sebagai pengundi tanpa kebenaran.

“SPR sebagai badan yang mengendalikan pilihan raya perlu bersikap adil dengan menjalankan siasatan dalaman berhubung perkara ini dan membuat laporan polis terhadap pihak terlibat.

“Apa yang menghairankan ia melibatkan Umno-BN kerana informasi diterima bagi pendaftaran Dinesh a/l Siva Kumar, 32, dibuat oleh Penolong Pendaftar Umno, Hishamuddin Kassim. Bagaimana perkara ini boleh berlaku? Siapa yang menandatangani borang pendaftarannya?

“Ia juga seolah-olah mengaitkan pihak Imigresen, SPR dan Umno-BN dalam komplot ini,” katanya dalam sidang media di sini hari ini.

 

Bapa Dinesh, K Siva Kumar, 64, menjelaskan dia terkejut apabila mendapati anaknya didaftarkan sebagai pemilih untuk mengundi bagi pilihan raya di dalam negara. 

Katanya, anaknya bertugas sebagai jurutera dan menetap di United Kingdom lebih 10 tahun tidak pernah mendaftar diri sebagai pengundi atau mewakilkan seseorang untuk tujuan berkenaan.

“Saya  membuat laporan polis pada 31 Januari lalu tetapi apa yang mengecewakan ialah SPR yang tidak bekerjasama dalam perkara ini.

“Menerusi emel, SPR hanya menyatakan pendaftaran anak saya dibuat pada 7 Mac 2012 oleh Hishamuddin yang kemudiannya ditamatkan perkhidmatan pada 27 April 2012 atas beberapa kesilapan pendaftaran dilakukan.

“SPR dilihat melindungi Hishamuddin dan Umno-BN apabila tidak menjawab beberapa emel saya iaitu 18, 19, 21 dan 26 Mac lalu,” katanya mengenai aduan dibuat kepada SPR Selangor.-selangorku

 UMNO man implicated in fraudulent voter registration...

An Umno member who was a former assistant registrar of voters for the Election Commission (EC) has been implicated in a non-consensual voter registration exercise. These activities, the DAP claimed today, could have involved many voters over the years.

Klang MP Charles Santiago said he and his team have traced the non-consensual registration of S Dinesh, a 32-year-old Malaysian currently residing in Britain, to a man who used to serve as assistant registrar for Umno.

These assistant registrars are political party members who help out in  the registration of voters, after EC endorsement.

The man allegedly registered Dinesh in March 2012. Dinesh's father, S Sivakumar, said his son had never registered as a voter as he is now based in the UK.

Charles said checks with the Selangor EC showed that it was indeed this Umno member who had carried out the registration. 

His role as an assistant registrar has since been terminated, allegedly for fraudulent voter registration, Charles further claimed.

He said he wants to know how many more of such fraudulent registrations have been carried out by the man, so as to ensure there are no discrepancies in the electoral roll.

So, how did he get information about Dinesh? 

"The problem here is that we need to know how many people were registered in a similar way by this man," he said.

Charles also questioned how the Umno member obtained Dinesh's details and information that the latter was residing in the UK.

"No layman could have provided this information. It must have come from a government agency. And the agency that would have all this information is obviously the Immigration Department," he said.

Dinesh was registered as a voter on March 7, 2012 and checks with the EC reveal that he is now eligible to vote in Charles' parliamentary constituency of Klang and for the Kota Alam Shah state seat.

Charles said this could also be a case of impersonation and false information. "So, who was impersonating (Dinesh)?" he asked.

"The EC should file a police report and get the police to act against this assistant registrar," he said, adding that he would accompany Sivakumar to the Selangor EC office to demand full details on Dinesh's registration as a voter in an attempt to find out the person who had impersonated him.

Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy has also complained that his 25-year-old daughter, who also resides in the UK, has been registered as a voter without her knowledge.

Charles said he has received information about many other similar cases of citizens residing abroad being registered as voters in Malaysia, without their knowledge.-malaysiakini

Harian Metro kata, "Kalau iklan daripada kerajaan pembangkang Pakatan Rakyat, mereka tidak menerimanya"...

Hasrat kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang untuk menyiarkan iklan program pembasmian kemiskinan di negeri itu ditolak oleh sebuah akhbar utama berbahasa Melayu.

Difahamkan bahawa akhbar Harian Metro tidak mahu menjual ruang iklan kepada parti pembangkang.

"Kerajaan negeri mahu membeli iklan bagi program pembasmian kemiskinan untuk menghapuskannya pada tahun ini dan untuk mendaftar keluarga yang berpendapatan rendah.

"Kami pergi ke Harian Metro dan mereka berkata sekiranya iklan daripada kerajaan pembangkang Pakatan Rakyat, mereka tidak menerimanya," kata Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng dalam sidang medianya pagi ini.

Bercakap selepas merasmikan saluran internet DAP Ubahtv, Lim berkata Harian Metro kekal dengan pendiriannya itu sekalipun dimaklumkan iklan tersebut tidak bersifat politik dan ia adalah daripada kerajaan negeri.

"Ini satu yang perkara yang pelik di Malaysia... Kami mahu memberi duit, tapi mereka tak mahu," katanya.

Harian Metro rejects Penang gov't adverts...

The Pakatan Rakyat-led Penang government has been refused advertising space for its poverty eradication programme by a prominent Malay languange daily.

It was told by Harian Metro that the daily would not sell advertising space to opposition parties.

"The state government wanted to purchase advertisement for our poverty eradication programme, to eradicate poverty by this year and to get the low income families to register...

"We went to Harian Metro and they said as the advertisement is from an opposition Pakatan Rakyat government, they would not accept it," Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng lamented at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

Speaking after launching DAP's Internet channel UbahTV, Lim said Harian Metro maintained its stand even when informed that the advertisements were not political and were from the state government.

"This is strange in Malaysia... we want to give people money, they don't want," Lim added.

Malaysiakini had contacted New Straits Times Press (NSTP)'s advertising department but a senior manager refused to comment.  

Almost all major newspapers and electronic broadcast stations in Malaysia are owned either directly, or through proxy, by the ruling BN coalition or related political interests, opening the media to manipulation by the ruling coalition.

The only exception being one newspaper owned by a business tycoon and several online news portals that can be considered independent.

Government and opposition-sponsored online news websites also dot the landscape, with some claiming to be independent, but whose benefactors are suspect.

This has led to skewed news coverage which in the mainstream sites seemingly demonising the opposition and withholding the right of reply for major accusations.

Even independent media still faces extreme restrictions as they continue to be regulated by draconian laws that disadvantage if not muzzle the media such as the Printing Presses and Publications Act and the Sedition Act.-malaysiakini

Sulu mahu pungutan suara,setelah ribuan orang Sulu diberi MyKad biru percuma...

Kalau ikut balik sejarah, selepas berakhir era komunis dan konfrantasi antara Malaysia dan Indonesia pada 1965, ini merupakan kali pertama negara berdepan dengan konfrantasi ketenteraan dengan pihak luar yang menceroboh kedaulatan negara ini.

Ops Daulat sudah masuk minggu ketiga. Sekarang… kalangan pemimpin dan pengganas SULU sedang diburu oleh pihak keselamatan Malaysia.

Senarai Pengganas Sulu Yang Diburu?

1.Jamalul Kiram – Kononnya Sultan Sulu
2.Agbimudin Kiram – Bekas Pegawai Pentadbir Muda di Pejabat Daerah Kudat, Sabah.
3.Haji Kiram – Tinggal di Sandakan & mempunyai seorang anak yang berkahwin dengan kakitangan kerajaan
4.Haji Kaluang – ahli “Majlis 8″ komander Barisan Pembebasan Kebangsaan Moro (MNLF) dan pembiayan pencerobohan siri Lahad Datu
5.Amirbahar (anak kepada Esmail iaitu adik kepada Jamlul Kiram)
6.Aidani - Penduduk Semporna, berperanan sebagai penjaga senjata api dan dikatakan telah menyimpan senjata api di lokasi rahsia di Semporna.

Ketika pengganas di Lahad Datu Sabah bersungguh-sungguh untuk menawan Sabah, mereka lupa UN sudah pun membuat pungutan suara lebih 50 tahun dahulu. Mereka ingat, mereka boleh menang dengan pungutan suara dengan cara menghantar beratus-ratus ataupun beribu-ribu orang mereka bagi mendapat kad pengenalan percuma melalui projek IC Mahathir dan menetap di Sabah sebagai warganegara Malaysia.

Sabah dimiliki Malaysia secara perjanjian yg sah. Ibarat tindakan Jamalul Kiram III dengan konco-konconya ini seperti seorang ayah yang cuba merampas anak orang lain pula.

Kami ucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada pihak keselamatan negera yang menjalankan tugas mempertahankan nyawa rakyat Sabah amnya dengan baik sekali.

Cuma harapan kami melihatkan kawasan di sekitar Sabah yang cukup terbentang luas itu, pada hemat dan pendapat kami Malaysia perlu diperbanyakkan radar dan drones terutamanya di Timur Sabah. Tidak perlu meletakkan lebih banyak anggota.

Yang peliknya bagi kami, mengapa di “main frontier” yang sangat kritikal dengan Abu Sayyaf serta ancaman lanun, kita cuma letak “Coast Guard” sahaja untuk menjaga tempat “panas” sebegitu rupa? Mengapa? Coast Guard ini biasanya hanya sesuai jika mahu mengawal pelarian/boat people sahaja.

Contohnya, seperti di Itali dan Greece mereka menggunakan “Coast Guard” untuk menjaga bot-bot pelarian dari Afrika. US Coast Guard (pengawal pantai) untuk menjaga dan mengawal kemasukan pelarian dari Cuba di Florida.

Kita beli senjata, kita lantik agen. Beli peralatan senjata bagi komisen kepada agen. Harga RM1 bilion jadi RM 4 bilion.

Sepatutnya yang beli senjata bukannya orang politik tetapi jenaral perang itu sendiri yang menetukan peralatan senjata yang mana mereka mahukan daripada A sampai Z.

Pengganas SULU masuk pun tidak berjaya dikesan.Pengganas SULU bawa keluar senjata pun tidak berjaya dikesan

Dan betulkan kami jikalau kami tersilap maklumat. Mungkin kita (Malaysia) satu-satunya negara di dunia yang lantik PTD (civilian) untuk mengetuai National Security Council (Majlis Keselamatan Negara). 

Sepatutnya jawatan tersebut lebih sesuai diberikan kepada seorang yang betul2 tahu tentang urusan keselamatan negara dan bukan seorang pegawai PTD yang masih berhingus atau seorang pegawai PTD yang sombong dan bongkak, kononnya dia tahu segala2nya, pada hal otaknya penuh dengan taik lembu kondo!-f/bk

Bodyguard to 'Imam Tua' shot dead in Kg Simunul...

A Sulu militant was shot dead after he assaulted Malaysian security forces personnel with a ‘barong’ (a type of machete) during a search on a house in Kampung Simunul, Semporna, today.

Sabah police commissioner Hamza Taib said the incident occurred when the security team was carrying out an integrated mopping up and search operation in the village at 8.40am.

He said the man, in his 60s, suddenly tried to hack the body of a member of the security personnel using the sharp object.

“During the assault, the security personnel managed to fire a shot at his assailant. However, our man suffered no major injuries.

“Initial investigation found that the assailant was the bodyguard and an aide to a Sulu terrorist known as ‘Imam Tua’,” he told a press conference at the operation centre in Felda Sahabat 16 in Lahad Datu today.

‘Imam Tua’ is one of the terrorists killed in the gun battle with the national security forces at the water village on March 2, which also claimed the lives of six Malaysian policemen.

Hamza said following a search on the house, the security forces team arrested two women, aged 45 and 30, who were the wife and daughter of the militant.

Both of them did not have any valid travel documents and were currently detained under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma), he said.

He said four men were also arrested during the operation.

Hamza said the national security forces had so far killed 68 terrorists, while arresting 121 individuals to facilitate investigation under Sosma and 443 others under other Acts.

Meanwhile, Hamza said village chiefs and household heads in Kampung Tanjung Batu would be allowed to join the assessment team and the National Security Council staff to assess the damage on their houses and village before they were allowed to return home on Saturday.

However, he said only villagers with complete documents would be allowed to return home, while those without documents would be placed in a temporary settlement.-malaysiakini
