Kerana satu panggilan telefon dari JPM, berita Rosmah wajar jadi menteri ditarik balik...
Ekoran panggilan telefon dari Pejabat Perdana Menteri, laman web Astro Awani online telah menarik balik satu berita mengenai cadangan bekas Ketua Pengarang New Straits Times Datuk A. Kadir Jasin (gambar) yang mencadangkan agar isteri perdana menteri Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor dilantik sebagai menteri.
Berita itu tidak ada lagi dalam laman web sejak tengahari semalam selepas disiarkan sehari sebelum itu. Namun begitu tulisan asal kadir masih disiarkan oleh laman ini.
Ketika dihubungi, seorang kakitangan Astro Awani memaklumkan, ia dibuang atas arahan Pejabat Perdana Menteri.
Namun pengarang laman ini ketika dihubungi enggan memberikan sebarang pengesahan dan meminta pihak atasannya menjawab persoalan ini.
Kadir pula ketika dihubungi menegaskan beliau tidak tahu-menahu arahan penarikan balik penyiaran berita tersebut.
Beliau enggan memberi komen lain mengenai hal itu dan berkata artikelnya yang bertajuk "PAU 2013: Antara Cinta dan Jasa" yang disiarkan Ahad lalu adalah pandangan sebagai rakyat jelata dan wartawan.
"Saya tidak tahu-menahu mengenai adanya arahan menarik balik berita Astro Awani atau mana-mana portal media, maka pertanyaan itu saya tidak boleh jawab.
"Bagaimanapun artikel adalah berdasarkan atas hak saya sebagai wartawan dan rakyat yang bebas menyuarakan apa sahaja asalkan ia tidak melanggar undang-undang dan peraturan dalam perlembagaan," katanya.
Beliau juga turut menjelaskan catatannya dalam blog boleh digunakan oleh mana-mana media untuk diubah menjadi berita asalkan pihak tersebut memetik sumber artikel yang diperolehi.
Sebelum ini, Datuk Seri Najib Razak dalam Perhimpunan Agung Umno 2013 memuji isterinya, Rosmah, di atas jasanya kepada negara.
Selain, bertungkus-lumus membantu mangsa banjir, Najib mendedahkan Rosmah juga dikatakan berjasa kerana berjaya membebaskan seorang pelajar Malaysia yang ditangkap pihak berkuasa Mesir akibat disyaki sebagai pengintip dengan hanya menggunakan pengaruhnya menelefon isteri Presiden Mesir Suzanne Mubarak (isteri kepada Hosni Mubarak).
Lebih dari itu, Rosmah juga dikatakan mengguna pengaruhnya dengan keluarga Diraja Arab Saudi untuk membebaskan pelajar Malaysia yang terkandas di Mesir semasa kebangkitan Arab Spring untuk memasuki negara itu tanpa menggunakan visa.
Susulan dari itu Kadir dalam tulisan diblognya, mencadangkan Rosmah perlu diberi jawatan menteri, malah mungkin jawatan perdana menteri.
Mengulas kenyataan Najib yang memuji isterinya ketika Perhimpunan Agung Umno itu, Tokoh Wartawan Negara itu berkata, pendedahan perdana menteri menyebabkan kedudukan Menteri Luar dan menteri lain harus dikaji kerana ternyata ia tidak setanding dengan Rosmah dalam menyelesaikan krisis antarabangsa.-TMI
Kadir Jasin not aware if PMO directed Astro Awani to remove report on Rosmah post...
An alleged call from the Prime Minister’s office apparently resulted in the Astro Awani website removing a report on a blog posting by former New Straits Times group editor-in-chief Datuk A. Kadir Jasin which had suggested that Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor be appointed as a minister.
The report is no longer on the site since yesterday afternoon after it was published on Sunday.
When contacted, the website editor Noor Azam Shairi refused to confirm the matter and requested that questions be directed to his superiors instead.
Kadir told The Malaysian Insider he does not know of any directive to remove his post.
“I do not know of any directive to take down any reports from Astro Awani or from any news site, so I cannot answer the question.
“But my posting is based on my right as a journalist and a citizen who is free to voice his views on anything as long as it does not contravene any laws,” he said.
He said the media is free to report the contents of his blog as long as it was credited.
In his winding up speech at the Umno general assembly last Saturday, Prime Minister and Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Raak had highlighted two instances when Rosmah, his wife, had helped Malaysia.
One was when she contacted the Egyptian president's wife in securing the release of a Malaysian student who was arrested on suspicion of being a spy.
The second incident was when Malaysian students were stranded in Egypt during the Arab uprising.
Najib had said Rosmah had used her good relations with the Saudi Arabian royal family to allow the students to enter the country from Egypt although they did not have visas.
Based on the revelations by Najib, Kadir had suggested that Putrajaya re-evaluate the positions of several Cabinet ministers including Datuk Seri Anifah Aman (Foreign Affairs), Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed (International Trade and Industry), Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (Education) and Datuk Rohani Abdul Karim (Women, Family and Community Development).
"It is very apparent that none of these ministers are as effective as Rosmah in handling international crisis," Kadir had said in his blog posting.
He suggested that these "non-performing" ministers be dropped, which would also see a reduction in the number of ministries. This, he said, would also save Putrajaya a lot of money.
Although the 13th general election was over, Kadir had said that Najib and Rosmah's supporters could push for her to be appointed as a Senator before she is made a minister.
"Even the prime minister's position might not be beyond Rosmah's reach if she can win the trust and support of the public," Kadir had noted.
"Once she has been made a minister, then nobody can accuse Najib and the Cabinet of abuse of power for allowing Rosmah to use government facilities. The perfect Cabinet portfolio for Rosmah would be Minister of Special Affairs," Kadir had dryly remarked.- TMI
