Sultan Selangor kasi warning JAIS dan MAIS, tangkap mereka yang murtad bukan mereka yang kunjung rumah urut...

Sultan minta JAIS jangan campur tangan dalam ops rumah urut...

Pihak berkuasa agama Selangor diingatkan untuk tidak terlibat dengan agenda politik mana-mana parti dan kekal bebas menjadi institusi berkecuali, titah Sultan Selangor.

Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah dalam titahnya berkata, terdapat pemimpin politik yang mengambil kesempatan terhadap Majlis Agama Islam Selangor (Mais) dan Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (Jais) untuk mempergunakan isu berkaitan agama Islam.

"Pada masa sekarang, terdapat segelintir ahli politik yang mahu mengambil kesempatan untuk mempergunakan isu berkaitan agama Islam dan mempersoalkan tindakan institusi agama Islam seperti Mais dan Jais sebagai agenda politik mereka," titah baginda sempena program Menghadap Sultan Selangor oleh kakitangan Jabatan Agama Islam di Shah Alam pagi tadi.

Hadir sama  ialah Menteri Besar Selangor Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim.

"Beta mahu semua pihak di Mais dan Jais mengelakkan diri daripada terlibat dalam agenda politik mana-mana parti sekalipun," titah baginda.

Sultan Selangor sebelum ini murka dengan Ahli Parlimen Shah Alam Khalid Samad apabila beliau mencadangkan pengurangan kuasa Mais ekoran insiden rampasan Bible berbahasa Melayu dan Iban di pejabat Persatuan Bible Malaysia (PBM) di Damansara.

Baginda bertitah, dalam setiap penguatkuasaan, Jais seharusnya melakukan persiapan rapi dengan membawa peralatan penyiasatan untuk serbuan termasuk kamera video, kamera, diari, peralatan dan saksi yang boleh dipercayai.

Selain itu, sultan turut mengingatkan Jais agar tidak keterlaluan dalam melaksanakan penguatkuasaan mereka dan menghormati penganut agama lain.

"Dalam penguatkuasaan undang-undang, Jais perlu bertindak dalam lingkungan tugas yang melibatkan kesalahan terhadap isu agama Islam saja tanpa mengganggu tugas dan bidang kuasa Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan seperti penguatkuasaan terhadap rumah urut dan sebagainya.

"Ini bagi mengelakkan tohmahan terhadap jais yang mengambil tindakan bukan dalam bidang kuasa mereka dan lebih menumpukan perkara remeh sedangkan isu-isu besar tidak diberikan keutamaan," titah baginda.

Baginda bertitah, Jais seharusnya memberikan tumpuan kepada penguatkuasaan kes berat melibatkan ajaran sesat, isu murtad, ceramah tanpa  tauliah dan isu berkaitan ceramah politik di masjid dan surau yang  boleh mencemarkan akidah serta menyebabkan perpecahan umat Islam.

Baginda turut mengakui Jais dan Mais melalui pelbagai rintangan serta tohmahan yang tidak berasas terhadap beberapa isu sebelum ini.

"Namun, kita perlu sedar dalam mengharungi arus pemodenan, cabaran memelihara Islam amatlah besar.

"Ini kerana, generasi masa kini sering terdedah dengan pelbagai berita dan maklumat palsu yang mengelirukan dan kadang kala boleh memesongkan akidah umat Islam," titah baginda.

Kakitangan Jais dan Mais juga diingatkan untuk saling bekerjasama dan melakukan tugas peguatkuasaan dengan berhati-hati berdasarkan Prosedur Operasi Standard (SOP) mereka.

"Jais perlu mengelak bertindak kasar dan mengenepikan hak seseorang individu di bawah undang-undang," titah baginda, dan menambah, prosedur yang teratur akan membolehkan nama baik Jais terpelihara. – tmi

Hands off massage parlours, sultan tells Jais...

Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah today told the Selangor Islamic Affairs Department (Jais) to stop focusing on raiding massage parlours.

In his speech to the Jais staff today, Sultan Sharafuddin said the department should only take action within its job scope and not infringe on the job scope of the local authorities.

"Taking action against massage parlours (rumah-rumah urut) is the responsibility of the local authorites," he said at the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah building today.

He added that this was also important so as to avoid criticism of Jais for focusing on trivial matters.

'Emphasise apostasy instead'

He pointed out that Jais should instead give emphasis on issues of apostasy, deviations from the teachings and political speeches in mosques and suraus that he said can affect the sanctity of Islam.

Stressing further, the sultan said Jais, similarly, should emphasise the understanding of Sunni Islam since it is the "main core of belief of the Muslims in the country".

"The failure of Muslims to understand Sunni Islam will give way to deviant teachings," he said.

The sultan then urged both Majlis Agama Islam Selangor (Mais) and Jais to remain as "neutral institutions".

He had earlier commented on several politicians who had taken advantage in using issues related to Islam, by questioning the actions of Mais and Jais as part of their political agenda.

"I want Mais and Jais to avoid getting involved in any party's political agenda," he stressed.- mk

Ini bukan 1998, Khalid bukan seteru saya...

Anwar Ibrahim berkata situasi yang dialami Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim kini berbeza dengan keadaan semasa beliau berdepan dengan Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad pada tahun 1998.

Tegasnya, menteri besar Selangor itu tidak akan dipecat dengan tidak adil dan menjadi musuh ketat PKR

Katanya, Khalid sendiri sudah mendapat bayangan mengenai rancangan untuk menggantikan menteri besar sejak 15 Januari.

Namun, keputusan akhir akan dibuat secara muafakat di kalangan pemimpin Pakatan, walau Khalid tetap berkeras untuk tidak meletak jawatan menteri besar.

“Saya tidak fikir ianya betul untuk mengumpamakan perisitiwa penuh dendam pada 1998 itu dengan situasi sekarang dan isu yang timbul. Saya tampil untuk melawan Umno, bukan untuk memperteguhkan Umno.

“Bila sampai waktu yang sesuai, sekiranya perlu, say akan jelaskan. Apa yang orang ramai perlu tahu, kita sudah memerhatikan proses mesyuarat kaunseling dan nasihat (dengan Khalid) berlangsung berulang kali,” katanya.

Bercakap kepada pemberita di ibu pejabat PKR hari ini, Anwar bukan sahaja menyifatkan Khalid sebagai seorang kawan, tetapi juga seorang saudara.

Beliau turut mengingatkan Khalid bahawa menteri besar itu mengetuai jentera kempen pilihan raya kecil DUN Kajang, yang akan membolehkan Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah dilantik menggantikan beliau.

Anwar berkata, Wan Azizah serta Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang dari PAS dan Lim Kit Siang dari DAP sudah melakukan pertemuan demi pertemuan berhubung 'Langkah Kajang' untuk menggantikan Khalid.

Malah, Khalid juga menyertai salah satu mesyuarat tersebut di Shah Alam, kata Anwar.

Maka, isu tersebut tidak perlu digembar-gembur menjadi permusuhan yang pahit, katanya.

“Sebab itulah saya mengelak dari menjawab tuduhan dari budak-budak bawah. Kadang-kadang, mereka melampau sedikit dan nasihat saya agar mereka sentiasa ingat dan fokus pada perjuangan bersama parti.

“Tidak perlu jadi melampau,” katanya dalam sidang media tersebut.- mk

Anwar: This is not 1998, Khalid's not my enemy...

The Selangor menteri mesar will not be unfairly sacked by PKR and turned into a bitter enemy, like what happened between Dr Mahathir Mohamad and himself in 1998, Anwar Ibrahim said today.

Stressing that Khalid has been clued in on the plan to replace him since Jan 15, the PKR de facto leader said the final decision would be made through a Pakatan consensus, even as Khalid dug in and refused to budge from office.

"I don’t think it is correct to equate that sort of  the rancorous exchange in ’98 and the situation now and the issues raised. I came out to fight Umno, not to strengthen Umno.

"At the right time, if compelled to, I will explain. What the public needs to know is that we have observed this process of umpteen meetings of counselling and advice (with Khalid)," he told reporters at the PKR headquarters.

Anwar (right) called Khalid a friend and even a family member, and reminded that Khalid also headed the Kajang by-election campaign, which helped make it possible for Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail to replace him.

Anwar said since January, PKR president Wan Azizah, PAS president Hadi Awang and DAP's parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang have had a series of meetings on the so-called 'Kajang Move' to replace Khalid.

'No need to hype the crisis'

At least one of the meetings even roped in Khalid and was held in Shah Alam, Anwar said. Therefore, there was no need to hype the crisis into a bitter, long-drawn-out fight among bitter enemies.

"Because of that I avoided answering some of the allegations made by the younger politicians (budak-budak bawah). They sometimes go overboard a little and my advice to them is keep check and focus on the facts and the common party fight. There is no need to turn offensive," Anwar said.

During the press conference, Anwar also mostly gave the same answer to different questions about divergent views from PKR’s partners in Pakatan.

Yesterday, the powerful PAS syura council has declared its support for Khalid, while DAP veteran leader Lim Kit Siang expressed worry that Pakatan’s demise was merely days away.

"You are asking us to fight? What for?" Anwar asked reporters in jest.

He said that all views expressed by Pakatan coalition members will be listened to and taken into account before a final decision is made.

"We take into account (these views) and we respect them but we have to make a decision - who is finally chosen as the MB of Selangor is under PKR’s purview," he said.

When pressed by reporters for a solution to the quandary, Anwar would only urge people to wait and see.

He said that a clearer picture would probably emerge after the disciplinary board meeting today and a PKR central leadership committee meeting tomorrow. And he himself is waiting for the Aug 17 meeting to see what PAS finally decides.

Anwar also shrugged off a petition campaign by Selangor state assemblypersons to pressure Khalid to quit, saying the immediate focus now was on the PKR party leaders meeting tomorrow.

Anwar, who was once the prime minister-in-waiting, was sacked from government and from Umno in 1998 by Mahathir when he refused to resign. This sparked off the reformasi movement and marked the beginnings of PKR. - mk
