UMNO tarik balik usul hudud di Selangor...

Ketua Pembangkang Selangor Datuk Mohd Shamsudin Lias berkata beliau menarik balik usul yang mempersoalkan mengenai kebarangkalian melaksana hudud di Selangor hari ini kerana timbul banyak kekeliruan.

Jelasnya, usul berkenaan ditarik balik kerana ia masih boleh ditanya dalam sesi perbahasan dan tidak perlu dikemuka melalui usul khusus.

Bercakap ketika dihubungi Malaysiakini, ketua pembangkang itu berkata perkara itu diputuskan dengan persetujuan pemimpin BN Selangor.

"Ia bukan rang undang-undang persendirian. Ia hanya bertanya kepada kerajaan (negeri) sama ada mereka mahu laksanakan hudud (atau tidak).

"Kalau macam ini, kita boleh tanya dalam perbahasan," katanya kepada Malaysiakini.

Speaker DUN Hannah Yeoh dijangka akan mengeluarkan kenyataan berhubung perkembangan tersebut hari ini.

Salahkan akhbar bahasa Cina

Jelas Shamsudin lagi, kekeliruan timbul sebelum ini apabila ramai pihak menyangka BN Selangor memajukan usul untuk melaksanakan hudud di Selangor.

Beliau seterusnya menyalahkan akhbar berbahasa Cina yang menumpukan perkara itu.

"Saya fikir silap faham ini berlaku kerana terlalu banyak akhbar Cina menghubungi saya untuk bertanya tentangnya," katanya tanpa menyebut nama akbar tertentu.

Menurutnya juga, tindakan menarik balik usul selepas ia diluluskan speaker untuk dibahaskan juga adalah satu perkara biasa.

"Itu perkara biasa. Usul ini, kalau kita tengok dalam sidang DUN dan Parlimen boleh ditarik sebelum atau pada tarikh ia akan dibacakan," katanya.

Sebelum ini, anggota Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Sungai Air Tawar, Kamarol Zaki Abdul Malik membawakan usul itu di bawah Peraturan 26, Peraturan-peraturan Tetap Dewan Negeri Selangor.

Usul tersebut berbunyi:

"Bahawa Dewan yang mulia ini menggesa kerajaan negeri Selangor mengkaji kebarangkalian pelaksanaan undang-undang hudud pada masa hadapan di negeri Selangor selaras dengan peruntukan Perlembagaan Persekutuan perkara 3 iaitu Islam sebagai agama Persekutuan".

Usul itu yang diterima Speaker DUN Selangor, Hannah Yeoh mencetuskan pelbagai perbincangan termasuklah daripada MCA dan GERAKAN yang merupakan sekutu Umno di dalam BN.

MCA dan GERAKAN juga menggesa agar Yeoh tidak meluluskan usul tersebut.

Yeoh dijangka akan mengeluarkan kenyataan berhubung perkembangan tersebut hari ini.- mk

Selangor Umno withdraws hudud motion...

Selangor Umno has retracted its motion urging a study on the feasibility of implementing hudud in the state, state opposition leader Mohd Shamsudin Lias said today.

Shamsudin, when contacted by Malaysiakini today, said the U-turn was due to the "misunderstanding" that the motion has caused.

He said Umno’s motion was only for a feasibility study on hudud and not for the actual implementation of the theocractic law in the country’s most urbanised state.

Shamsudin (right), who is also Sungai Burong state assemblyperson, blamed the Chinese press for the confusion.

"I think this misunderstanding happened because too many Chinese newspapers contacted me to ask me about it (the motion)," he said when contacted today.

"It is not a member's bill. It is only to ask the state government whether they want to implement hudud (or not)."

Shamsudin said BN has decided it can still raise the matter during the regular state assembly debate sessions.

"That way, we can ask during the debate," he said.

Selangor Umno stirred up a hornet’s nest this week over the motion proposed by Sungai Air Tawar assemblyperson Kamarol Zaki Abdul Malik, which Selangor state assembly speaker Hannah Yeoh subsequently accepted.

This curiously prompted MCA, Umno's largest partner in the BN coalition, to attack Yeoh, who is also a DAP assemblyperson, for accepting the BN motion.

Yeoh in response reminded her critics that she is speaker for all parties, regardless of political affiliation.

Shamsudin also played down Selangor Umno’s move to abruptly withdraw the motion after a political storm.

“It is normal . If you look at other state assemblies or parliament, motions can be retracted before or on the date they are to be read,” he said.- mk

Hannah Yeoh: I'm speaker for all parties...

Selangor state assembly speaker Hannah Yeoh has explained that she allowed the motion to debate the hudud issue because she is the speaker for all parties.

Therefore, she added, her personal view does not matter.

"When I am the speaker, I am no longer a DAP or Pakatan Rakyat member," she told a press conference.

Yesterday, Yeoh approved  a motion proposed by Umno state assemblyperson for Sungai Air Tawar Kamarol Zaki Abdul Malik, asking the Pakatan-ran Selangor government whether they want to implement hudud or not. It was not a bill to propose the implementation of the Syariah law in the state.

BN component parties - MCA and Gerakan - both opposed the bill.

MCA vice-president Chew Mei Fun said she deplored the the motion because there was no consensus among the BN component parties on the implementation of hudud until now.

Hannah, meanwhile, said she was in a dilemma because she would be blamed no matter what she decided.

“If I do not accept this proposal, Umno will say I am anti-Islam. Had I received it, MCA will say I am playing around with hudud. What would you do if you become me?” she asked reporters with a smile.

The bill has subsequently been withdrawn - mk.
