Jepun tak bagi Anwar masuk negaranya...

Beliau kemudian mengambil pesawat keluar pada jam 10.45 pagi waktu Tokyo.

Anwar berlepas ke negara matahari terbit itu untuk membentangkan kertas kerja untuk Yayasan Nippon.

Dalam kenyataannya malam ini, Anwar berkata, pejabatnya sudah menyemak dengan kedutaan Jepun berhubung keperluan penerbangannya minggu lalu dan tidak dimaklumkan sebarang halangan.

Justeru, beliau mendesak Wisma Putra menjelaskan perkara itu, terutamanya berhubung “laporan terkini” yang menyebabkan beliau dilarang.- malaysiakini 

Ini menunjukan betapa kerajaan BN dah goyang dengan Anwar... kalau kerajaan Jepun tak bagi masuk maksudnya ini mesti berlaku diatas desakan kerajaan Malaysia... tiada sebab lain yg munasabah untuk kerajaan Jepun melarang Anwar masuk ke Jepun...

Anwar barred from entering Japan...

I arrived at Narita International Airport at 6.45 this morning from Kuala Lumpur but was barred from entry by the Japanese immigration authorities and was told to board the first flight back home or face deportation.

When I asked why I was not allowed to enter, they told me that it was because of my previous conviction in 1999. I told them this could not be a valid reason on account of the fact that prior to this I had already entered Tokyo without hindrance on three previous occasions in 2006, 2009, and 2012.

I told the immigration authorities there must be some mix-up in this matter and protested that it was not proper for them to bar me from entering the country without a bona fide and valid reason. 

As I persisted in asking for an explanation, they finally told me that they had to take this action “because of a latest report” possibly in 2013.

I then had no choice but to take the next flight home at 10.45 am.

I had gone to Tokyo on a personal invitation by Mr Sasakawa, Chairman of the Nippon Foundation, to present a paper on Muslim Democrats. 

As a routine pre-travel procedure, my office had made inquiries with the Japanese Embassy in Kuala Lumpur last week and was informed that there would be no issues outstanding which would be an impediment to my entering the country.

I protest in the strongest terms this unwarranted action of the Japanese government in refusing me entry and denying my legitimate rights to travel freely without let or hindrance. It is indeed inconceivable for one of the world’s leading democracies to take this unprecedented action under such tenuous grounds and leaves me with the impression that hidden hands may be at work here.

In this regard, I demand an explanation from the Malaysian Minister of Foreign Affairs, in particular, as to what role Wisma Putra has played in this scandalous episode in respect of the so-called “latest report” that has purportedly led to my being forcibly evicted from Japan.- Sdr.Anwar Ibrahim

 

UMNO kangkong salahkan PR pasai harga barang naik...

PKR hari ini mempersoalkan tindakan Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor yang menyalahkan orang tengah ekoran kenaikan harga barangan dan perkhidmatan.

“Kenyataan menteri ini cubaan mengalih pandangan umum daripada isu sebenar, bahawa kenaikan harga barang timbul daripada kegagalan dasar pentadbiran Datuk Seri Najib Razak untuk menangani kenaikan inflasi yang mendadak,” kata Pengarah Komunikasi PKR Fahmi Fadzil (kanan).

Fahmi justeru menyifatkan kenyataan Tengku Adnan itu sebagai tidak berasas dan tidak bertanggungjawab kerana peningkatan inflasi itu sudah pun diingatkan oleh Ketua Pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Anwar, kata Fahmi, dalam kenyataannya sebelum ini menyebut, kadar inflasi Malaysia meningkat 2.4 kali ganda dari 1.2 peratus (Disember 2012) kepada 2.9 peratus (November 2013).

Tengku Adnan yang juga setiausaha agung Umno semalam dilapor menyelar sikap orang tengah yang cuba mengambil kesempatan memburukkan kerajaan dengan menaikkan harga barang.

Ku Nan: Mereka sokong pembangkang

Beliau mendakwa, orang tengah itu cuba menimbulkan kebencian rakyat kepada kerajaan BN dengan menaikkan harga barang yang jelas akan membebankan rakyat.

"Kita sedar banyak orang tengah ini lebih menyokong pembangkang. Apa yang dilakukan adalah buat satu kaedah supaya rakyat benci kepada BN. Ini tidak adil.

“Kenapa hendak buat cara ini," beliau dipetik sebagai berkata kepada pemberita selepas sambutan Maulidur Rasul bersama komuniti Acheh Malaysia di ibu negara.

Dalam kenyataannya hari ini, Fahmi menggesa Tengku Adnan serta parti pemerintah menghentikan “retorik tidak berasas” dan berusaha mengetengahkan dasar bagi menangani inflasi dengan efektif.

Ia antaranya, tambah Fahmi lagi, menurutnkan harga petrol, memecahkan monopoli perniagaan gula dan penarikan balik cukai barangan dan perkhidmatan (GST) serta pelbagai yang dicadangkan, seperti tol dan tarif elektrik.

“Sekurang-kurangnya kerajaan Umno-BN wajib menangani ketirisan dan rasuah yang mengakibatkan berbilion ringgit wang rakyat lesap begitu sahaja, seperti yang dilaporkan saban tahun dalam Laporan Ketua Audit Negara,” katanya.-malaysiakini

So now price hikes are Pakatan's fault...

Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor has accused pro-opposition middlemen of deliberately increasing the prices of goods and services, in order to incite hatred against Barisan Nasional (BN).

He made the preposterous claim that "they have played a major role in siding with the opposition and inciting the rakyat's hatred towards Barisan Nasional".

That is the most ridiculous piece of excuse and accusation made by a BN minister to date, which represents the sheer bankruptcy of ideas in the federal cabinet to deflect blame for the tide of rising prices in the country.

If Pakatan Rakyat indeed controlled the economy through these 'middlemen', Barisan Nasional would have lost Putrajaya in the last general election.  In fact, why wait for elections to be over before these alleged “pro-opposition middlemen” raise prices?

If stirring discontent against BN is the objective, they should have done it before the elections, and not after!

It is of the biggest irony when the minister pointed out unscrupulous middlemen raising prices because it has been BN policy over the past three decades to cultivate crony businessmen to dominate, monopolise and control many basic goods and services.

Whose middlemen, Pakatan's or BN's?

The price of rice has been rising because Bernas Bhd, a private company owned by Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary was given the monopoly right to import rice on behalf of rice-traders, making fat and easy profits while causing the price of these rice to rise.  The same applies many other basic goods such as sugar.

Tenaga Nasional Bhd was forced by the BN government to purchase a majority of its electricity from independent power producer at prices significantly higher than what it could produce on its own, causing the tariffs to increase.

The prices of medicine in our hospitals are up to 148 percent higher than in Australia, because the government forces our hospitals to purchase them through the designated “middleman”, Pharmaniaga Bhd.

Hundreds, if not thousands of projects are awarded annually by the government at higher cost and lower quality, purely because they are given via our renowned 'Ali Baba' system. In this system, the a crony middlemen gets awarded an inflated contract and subcontracts substantial portions of the works, if not all of it to actual businesses to carry out the work.

One such infamous project is the RM482 million Shah Alam Hospital that was awarded to Sunshine Fleet Sdn Bhd, but was sub-contracted lock, stock and barrel to a subcontractor for RM451 million in 2007. The project has stalled with no visibility of completion despite hundreds of millions of ringgit paid.

Ku Nan's Freudian slip

Hence these are all the pro-BN cronies and middlemen who have been causing inflated and rising prices in the country. What’s more, when the government spends wastefully and extravagantly like the above, the country’s debt rises in tandem, forcing massive subsidy cut and the painful inflation we are facing today.

Tengku Adnan claims that the pro-opposition “middlemen have consistently preached that if Barisan Nasional wins, the prices of goods and services will increase as BN stands for Barang Naik”.

Let me challenge the Federal Territories minister to name any such “pro-opposition businessman” who had raised prices of basic goods and services needed by Malaysians at large.

If the minister is unable to do so, he should withdraw his remarks and stop looking for kangkung excuses to cover up for BN.

Instead, he must demand that the cabinet review or terminate all the above BN-crony monopoly and middlemen contracts, which cause prices to increase and the rakyat to suffer. - malaysiakini
