Putrajaya perlu jelaskan pemberian kontrak biometrik kepada syarikat swasta...
Sambil memberi amaran, PKR berkata kegagalan Putrajaya menjelaskan persoalan tersebut hanya akan menyebabkan mereka bertindak mendedahkan lebih banyak maklumat mengenai syarikat teknologi maklumat itu
Hari ini, Ahli Parlimen Sungai Petani Datuk Johari Abdul dan Ketua Penerangan Pemuda PKR Lee Chean Chung berkata Menteri Dalam Negeri Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi tidak boleh berterusan melindungi
Bestinet Sdn Bhd yang bukan sahaja menyimpan data peribadi biometrik tetapi juga mempunyai hubung kait dengan parti pemerintah Umno.
"Kenapa kontrak yang begitu penting yang boleh memberi kesan kepada keselamatan negara diberikan kepada syarikat swasta?" kata Lee pada sidang media di Ibu Pejabat PKR, Petaling Jaya hari ini.
PKR semalam mendedahkan salah seorang pengarah Bestinet, ialah bekas Pengarah Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Datuk Tengku Omar Tengku Bot selain bekas Menteri Dalam Negeri Tan Sri Azmi Khalid.
Hari ini, Lee berkata seorang lagi pengarah syarikat tersebut ialah Aminul Islam Abdul Nor seorang warga Bangladesh yang mendapat status penduduk tetap di Malaysia.
"Ia akan menimbulkan ketakutan dan curiga kerana Bestinet ini akan menyimpan banyak maklumat termasuk pengawalan sempadan dan imigresen," kata Lee.
Lee dan Johari berkata Tengku Omar dan Azmi juga mempunyai kepentingan sama dalam syarikat lain seperti "Raffles Care."
"Melalui pengawalanya di JR Joint Resources Holding Sdn Bhd, Omar mengawal lebih 99% pegangan Bestinet.
"Seperti Bestinet – yang merupakan syarikat RM2 sebelum ini tidak menghantar rekod kewangan kepada Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia bagi tempoh 4 tahun. Begitu juga dengan JR Joint Resources apabila tidak berbuat demikian sejak 2010."
Putrajaya digesa menjelaskan mengapa projek data biometrik yang berkait dengan keselamatan negara diberikan kepada syarikat swasta, soal PKR

Bermula 15 Januari tahun ini, Bestinet.juga menguruskan pemohonan secara talian bagi pekerja warga asing untuk memperbaharui permit secara elektronik (ePLKS), insurans dan juga khidmat lain.
Johari dan Lee berkata Bestinet mengambil keuntungan besar melalui sistem monopoli pemprosesan visa dan sistem biometrik selain menaikkan kos mengupah pekerja asing.
"Apabila kenaikan kos tidak dikawal, maka ia akan mendedahkan risiko eksploitasi dan pemerdagangan manusia," katanya.
PKR juga mencabar Zahid dan Azmin untuk menjelaskan dalam tempoh 24 jam mengenai peranan mereka dan penganugerahan kontrak kepada Bestinet.
"Adakah ia keputusan Kabinet untuk meluluskan pemeriksaan kesihatan biometrik.
"Adalah amat malang apabila kedua menteri dan bekas menteri hanya berdalih mengenai isu tersebut dan tidak tampil menjelaskan kekeliruan rakyat," katanya sambil menambah mereka mempunyai lebih banyak maklumat untuk didedahkan.
The Star hari ini melaporkan kenaikan bayaran pemprosesan visa pekerja Indonesia menimbulkan kemarahan pengusaha agensi pekerjaan itu yang memberi amaran untuk menghentikan penghantaran tenaga kerja lapor The Star hari ini.
Menurut Persatuan Perusahaan Jasa Tenaga kerja Indonesia (Apjati), mewakili lebih 500 agensi, mendakwa bertindak menulis kepada Parlimen Indonesia dan Kementerian Luar dan Sumber Manusia di negara itu meminta supaya penghantaran pekerja ke Malaysia dihentikan serta-merta. – tmi
Bangladeshi given access to crucial data...
A Bangladesh citizen is among the directors of
Bestinet Sdn Bhd, an IT solutions company that developed and manages the
Foreign Workers Centralised Management System (FWCMS) for the Home
Ministry, PKR claimed today.
In a joint statement, PKR Youth information chief Lee Chean Chung and deputy information chief Naim Jusri said that Aminul Islam Abdul Nor, a Bangladeshi citizen with a Malaysian permanent resident (PR) status is also a shareholder of Bestinet.
As such, PKR has raised concerns about a programme containing border control and immigration data, such as the FWCMS, being handed to a company linked to a foreigner.
"How can such an important project be outsourced to a private company managed by a foreigner?" the duo asked.
Previously,
PKR revealed that former home minister Azmi Khalid is also one of the
directors for Bestinet, and had demanded both him and Home Minister
Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (left) to explain their roles in the awarding of the contract to the company.
However, Zahid had continued maintaining his silence as Azmi merely said that there was no "hanky-panky" in the deal, without elaborating further on the matter.
Zahid has received flak before for the Home Ministry's decision to outsource foreign worker permit renewals to MyEG Services, another private entity.
The outsourcing resulted in higher fees for employers who wish to renew the permits of their foreign workers, while also increasing levy on insurances not bought through MyEG.

The arrangement had reportedly caused tension among labour agencies and the Nepali government when they were informed that they must use the new system.
"Bestinet not only will make huge profits through monopolising the eVDR and biometric system. The company will also cause the increase in cost to hire foreign workers.
"When the increase in cost is not monitored, it will expose foreign workers to risks of exploitation and human trafficking," Johari and Lee said.
The two PKR reps again challenged Zahid and Azmi to explain within 24 hours about their roles and the contract awarded to Bestinet.
"It is unfortunate that both the minister and former minister have kept mum on the issue together and would not come forward to end the doubts of the people so far.
"If they do not do so, we will reveal further information that is 'very critical'," they said.
Of late, the PKR lawmakers had also raised concerns that Malaysia's national security was at risk due to the use of the new system.
They feared that the information in the system was related to border control and immigration, and the sensitive information could be used to threaten the security and sovereignty of the country. - mk.tmi
Altantuya...
The Federal Court has ruled that Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri and Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar are guilty of murdering Altantuya Shaariibuu. Sentencing them to the gallows offers some measure of justice to Altantuya and her family, but despite the highest court’s ruling the wound that this case has afflicted on this country’s soul has not been healed.
People are still demanding answers to many unanswered questions. There can be no closure to this gruesome and senseless murder until they know why she was killed in the first place. Ordinary men and women want to know if Altantuya was killed by Azilah and Sirul , under instruction from someone else.
They want to know if the offer of Ringgit 100,000 to Sirul ( Siruls own admission) was true, and who made the offer. They also want to know what was the instruction given to the two commandos ;the exact words used to “assist Razak” as the judge puts it. They want to know why there were changes to the prosecutors and the High Court judge hearing the case.
They want to know if Najib Razak knew Altantuya despite his much publicized mosque declaration that he did not. They want to know why Bala the private investigator and his family were asked to leave the country.
Federal Court judge Datuk Suryadi Halim Omar reportedly said Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Najib Tun Razak’s former aide-de-camp DSP Musa Safri never instructed Azilah on how to assist Razak Baginda, that Azilah was merely told to meet with him. How does the judge know this for sure?
That bothers me. Altantuya was here to ask for money from Razak that she claimed was due to her. She was not waging a war against the country. She did not bring along commandos from Mongolia to kill someone if her demands were not met. Razak/Musa Safri could easily have asked a friend to mediate and see Altantuya on their behalf.
Even if they had wanted a man in uniform, someone from the Cheras police station—helped perhaps by an immigration officer—would have sufficed. All they needed to do was persuade Altantuya to leave the country peacefully if her claim was frivolous. I am anxious to know what was on Musa’s mind when he decided to introduce Razak to Azila and Sirul.
When you ask people whose job is to eliminate and destroy to “assist” you, and they are in possession of C4 explosives, you cannot expect them to engage in peaceful and polite negotiations. You expect them to do exactly what they were trained to do: take orders, ask no questions and kill if necessary.
Many people want to know what Musa’s exact instructions were. Did Musa, for example, give any kind of caveat to say no harm should come to the girl? Some are happy with the AG’s explanation for why he chose not to call on Musa during the trial, and obviously the judges are within their rights to convict a murderer without any known motive.
But in the real world, nothing like that ever happens. In the real world, a prosecutor would want to present the full story, for only a madman kills for no reason. Everyone else has a motive for doing something.
That’s why there has to be closure for this case. Our country will forever be seen as callous with human lives , with no regard for the truth, until the mystery surrounding Altantuya’s murder is solved. I believe there are things we don’t know about the murder, and the conduct of the police and the AG regarding the matter has hardly been beyond reproach.
Justice is about more than compliance with the letter of the law. It’s more than just a court decision, for the court can only do so much based on the materials the AG and the Police put forward. Justice in this case requires the country to have an independent inquiry to ascertain why the case unfolded as it did and to determine if the roles played by the Police and the AG were aboveboard.
Although we cannot depend too much on Royal Commissions of Inquiry nowadays to determine the truth, if we can get enough men of courage and integrity to conduct the inquiry we might be able to get some justice. So far we have found two men guilty. There could be more if the truth were allowed to finally surface.
I may be a lone voice in seeking to know more about the murder of Altantuya, but for our system of government to operate well we need to have enough conviction to raise questions and get answers when we are in doubt. We need to defend what is just and right. I hope the Opposition Leader (who has been unusually silent on this matter) will be willing to support my proposal for a full inquiry.
We need to make sure that we have not left important clues behind, and remove all doubt that the stakeholders in our justice system might have been less than honest in dealing with the case.- Zaid Ibrahim
