Orang jahat dah bebas ibu...

Polis mengiringi MP Lembah Pantai Nurul Izzah Anwar ke rumahnya di mana beliau dibenarkan secara ringkas untuk mengemaskan dirinya

Nurrul dilihat meninggalkan pusat tahanan polis di Jinjang pagi ini dengan memakai baju kurung yang sama sewaktu beliau ditahan semalam.

"Alhamdulillah... Nurul Izzah berada di rumah sekarang untuk menguruskan dirinya sebelum dibawa ke balai polis Dang Wangi untuk merakamkan kenyataan.

"Harap tidak direman. Beliau masih ditahan. (Beliau) dibenarkan untuk mengemaskan dirinya. Akan pergi ke Dang Wangi sekejap lagi," kata ibunya Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail dalam Facebooknya.

Bagaimanapun, menurut peguam Nurul Izzah, R Sivarasa, pihak polis turut berada di rumah naib presiden PKR itu untuk mengambil salinan ucapan beliau yang disampaikan di Parlimen pada 11 Mac lalu.

Pada 11.15 pagi, Nurul Izzah dikesan berada di ibu pejabat polis daerah Dang Wangi.

Menurut Sivarasa, kenyataan Nurul Izzah akan dirakamkan dan tidak ada perintah reman yang akan didengar.

Nurul Izzah ditangkap di Balai Polis Dang Wangi petang semalam, apabila beliau tiba untuk memberikan kenyataan mengenai penglibatannya dalam perhimpunan Kita Lawan pada 7 Mac.

Ketua Polis Negara Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar berkata, Nurul ditahan bawah Akta Hasutan bagi membantu siasatan polis terhadap perhimpunan tersebut dan ucapannya di Parlimen yang menyentuh sistem kehakiman negara.

No remand, but Nurul Izzah's ordeal not over...

Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar has been freed on police bail after spending a night in police detention.

However, she will have to report back to the police on April 16.

"I think its quite clear that my arrest is a blatant abuse of power by none other than the IGP and Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

"The prime minister is responsible for allowing transgressions against Parliament," Nurul Izzah told reporters after her release.

She said Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar (right) should be focusing on arresting hardcore criminals, instead of arresting dissenting voices.

She was also informed that her sister Nurul Nuha Anwar would be questioned next.

"Nurul Nuha will be questioned next and no one can escape this abuse by the IGP. He should be focusing on getting hardcore criminals, protecting Malaysia and getting Sirul, a convicted murderer, to atone for his sins," Nurul Izzah said.

Echoing her lawyer R Sivarasa, Nurul Izzah asserted that she has immunity granted under Article 63(2) of the Federal Constitution and thus should not be prosecuted for her speech.

Arrest an affront to her rights as MP

"It's such an onslaught and an affront to my rights, which will also affect the rights of other Members of Parliament, the greater issue of freedom of expression, which means highlighting of the key fundamental issues of the rakyat are put at stake.

"We're talking about an affront that has taken the democracy of Malaysia hostage," the PKR vice-president said.

Nurul Izzah said that there has never been anything like her arrest based on a speech made in Parliament since 1978.

"Since 1978 there has not ever been a Member of Parliament investigated. This a
crucial issue and will leave an impact on Malaysians," the eldest daughter of jailed Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim said.

She also pointed out that the actions of the government and the police are an "embarrassment and a complete betrayal of the trust of Malaysians".

Asked about the next course of action, Nurul Izzah said they will take this matter to court.

"We will take action. We will ensure that such an abuses will not continue under this regime," she stressed.

Repeating his client's stand, Sivarasa said Nurul Izzah's arrest was completely malicious and illegal.

"The excuse to go her house to get a copy of her speech was a complete bullshit. We could've given it to them should they have asked," he told reporters.

Other Pakatan Rakyat leaders and activists who have been detained for the Kita Lawan rally are PAS Youth treasurer Mohd Fakhrul Razi; PKR secretary-general Rafizi Ramli; Jingga 13 head coordinator Mohd Fariz Musa; PKR Youth chief Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad; Kelana Jaya PKR Youth leader Saifullah Zulkifli; DAP Youth chief and MP for Rasah Teo Kok Seong; and activists Adam Adil Abdul Halim and Mandeep Singh. - mk

Polis cari Nurul Nuha pula...

Polis kini mencari anak kedua kepada ketua pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Nurul Nuha, hanya beberapa jam selepas anak sulungnya, Nurul Izzah, dibebaskan.

Nurul Nuha memberitahu Malaysiakini bahawa polis memaklumkan perkara itu kepadanya ketika beliau berada di ibu pejabat polis daerah Dang Wangi hari ini.

"Saya didekati oleh mereka (polis). Mereka akan maklumkan (kepada peguam) bila mereka mahu saya pergi ke balai polis,” katanya.

Katanya, polis ingin menyiasat mengenai perhimpunan Kita Lawan namun tiada butiran lain yang diberikan.

Nurul Nuha merupakan antara tokoh utama yang mengepalai kempen menentang hukuman penjara yang dijatuhkan ke atas Anwar, dan sering muncul di perhimpunan Kita Lawan. - mk

Orang jahat suruh ibu tidoq lokap malam ni...

Jadi tindakan keras di bawah Akta Hasutan 1948 diteruskan dengan penangkapan naib presiden PKR, Nurul Izzah Anwar hari ini (16 Mac).

Ini tidak menghairankan jika dilihat dari modus operandi polis dalam menangkap pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat dengan alasan memanggil mereka untuk merekodkan kenyataan mereka mengenai kesalahan lain.

Ahli parlimen Lembah Pantai itu telah ditahan di ibu pejabat polis daerah Dang Wangi pada jam 3:30 petang ini, apabila dia datang untuk memberi kenyataan berkenaan kaitannya dengan perhimpunan Kita Lawan di Kuala Lumpur pada 7 Mac.

"Saya telah ditahan di bawah perintah penolong pengarah kanan D5 (Unit Khas Rahsia) Bukit Aman,” tulisnya dalam sepucuk ‘tweet’.

Nurul Izzah ditemani oleh peguamnya dan Ahli Parlimen Subang, R. Sivarasah bersama-sama dengan pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat lain.

Portal dalam talian The Malaysian Insider melaporkan bahawa pada kira-kira jam 2.30 petang, Nurul Izzah memberitahu pemberita yang beliau telah dimaklumkan bahawa dia akan disiasat di bawah Seksyen 9 (5) Akta Perhimpunan Aman 2012, menyertai senarai yang semakin panjang pemimpin-pemimpin dan penyokong Pakatan yang disiasat di bawah undang-undang yang sama. 

Walaupun selepas bersetuju untuk datang ke balai polis hari ini, Nurul Izzah berkata yang ASP Muniandy telah datang mencari beliau di rumah ayahnya di Segambut pada hari Jumaat.

Penangkapan beliau hari ini berikut laporan yang dibuat oleh bekas Ahli Parlimen Bandar Baru Kulim, Datuk Zulkifli Noordin pada 12 Mac, yang mendakwa bahawa terdapat kecenderungan menghasut dalam ucapannya ketika membahaskan Titah Ucapan Diraja di Parlimen pada minggu lepas.

Agensi berita nasional Bernama memetik Zulkifli sebagai berkata bahawa kritikan Nurul Izzah kepada badan kehakiman adalah "sangat menghina" kerana dia telah menuduh ahli-ahlinya "menjual jiwa mereka kepada syaitan" untuk menegakkan sabitan ayahnya atas dakwaan liwat.

Zulkifli juga berkata yang laporan polis telah dibuat atas alasan bahawa Nurul Izzah telah menyentuh mengenai perkara-perkara yang telah dikecualikan daripada imuniti parlimen. 

Portal atas talian Malaysiakini sementara itu, memetik Sivarasah sebagai berkata (terjemahan): "Prinsip asas di Parlimen ialah ahi-ahli parlimen mempunyai imuniti. Tanpanya tidak akan ada Parlimen itu."

"Mungkin mereka patut bubar saja Parlimen, dan menggunakan rejim autoritarian, dan bukannya demokrasi," kata ahli parlimen Subang itu.

Di media sosial, pengkritik undang-undang lapuk itu mengutuk penahanan Nurul Izzah sebagai tidak perlu dan keras. 

Menurut Ketua Penerangan PKR, Fahmi Fadzil, Nurul Izzah akan ditahan semalaman di lokap balai polis Jinjang dan perbicaraan tahanan remannya telah ditetapkan pada esok ham 10:00 pagi (17 Mac).

Aktivis, Adam Adli Abdul Halim dan Mandeep Singh yang ditahan pada 14 Mac berkaitan dengan perhimpunan Kita Lawan, pada masa ini juga ditahan di lokap Jinjang selepas polis mendapat perintah reman terhadap mereka selama tiga hari.

Selain daripada tindakan keras ke atas Kita Lawan yang menyaksikan Nurul Izzah menjadi pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat yang ketujuh disiasat di bawah PAA, penahanannya juga meletakkan beliau di nombor 85 dalam senarai tindakan hasutan pentadbiran Najib.

Akhbar harian Bahasa Inggeris The Star hari ini (16 Mac) melaporkan bahawa empat orang lelaki – aktivis Azrie Situ, 25, Suleiman Liku Markus Situ, 32, Erick Jack William, 29, dan Joseph Kolis, 29 – telah didakwa kerana menghasut di Mahkamah Sesyen Kota Kinabalu kerana memiliki bahan-bahan yang berkaitan dengan hak-hak negeri dalam Persekutuan.

Keempat-empat mereka, yang mengaku tidak bersalah, adalah antara sembilan yang ditahan di Tamu Tuaran pada jam 09:50 pagi 1 Februari kerana memiliki bahan yang didakwa menghasut, yang menurut polis dikaitkan dengan sebuah laman sesawang, Sabah Sarawak Keluar Malaysia.- Alyaa Alhadjri,theantdaily

As expected, Nurul Izzah picked up in Sedition dragnet 

Gomen mengakui ia bertanggungjawab ke atas RM11bil hutang 1MDB ...

Kerajaan Najib akhirnya mengakui bahawa ia akan bertanggungjawab ke atas AS$3bilion (RM11.11 bilion) hutang 1MDB Global Investment Ltd (1MDBGIL) sekiranya 1MDB gagal membayar hutang.

Dalam jawapan bertulis di Parlimen kepada Tony Pua (DAP-Petaling Jaya Utara), Kementerian Kewangan berkata surat sokongan oleh kerajaan kerana hutang itu akan menjadi "berkesan" jika aset 1MDBGIL ini tidak boleh menutup hutang yang terkumpul.

Ini adalah kali pertama kerajaan telah mengaku ianya bertanggungan bagi hutang 1MDBGIL,berdasarkan surat sokongan yang dikeluarkan apabila 1MDB mengeluarkan bon pada tahun 2012 dan 2013.

Kerajaan pada mulanya menafikan kewujudan surat itu, yang telah didedahkan oleh ahli parlimen pembangkang, termasuk Pua.

Ia kemudiannya mengaku wujudnya surat itu tetapi enggan menyatakan bahawa surat tersebut sebagai satu bentuk jaminan yang akan membuat kerajaan bertanggungjawab untuk hutang itu.

Walau bagaimanapun, dalam jawapan ringkas kepada Pua hari ini, Kementerian Kewangan berkata jika 1MDBGIL boleh membayar balik hutang dengan menggunakan aset, surat sokongan akan menjadi "berkesan".

Pua dalam soalannya bertanya sama ada kerajaan perlu membayar AS$3 bilion hutang itu sekiranya 1MDBGIL tidak dapat membayar balik wang tersebut.

Sementara itu, dalam satu lagi jawapan bertulis, Kementerian itu berkata 1MDB tidak mengambil jutawan Low Taek Jho bekerja dengannya, dan semua keputusan yang dibuat adalah oleh lembaga pengarah dan pemegang saham.

Gov't admits it is liable for 1MDB's RM11bil debt...

Putrajaya has admitted that the letter of support it issued to 1MDB Global Investment Limited, a  subsidiary of debt-laden 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), will be effective if the company failed to repay a US$3 billion (RM11.1 billion) loan it took last year. 

However, Finance Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said 1MDB Global Investment Limited needed to utilise its internal funds, including all its assets first before the Federal government stepped in.

"If all these steps have been taken and the company is still facing a shortfall in resolving its loan, then the government's support letter will be effective," he said in a written reply to Tony Pua (DAP-Petaling Jaya Utara) today.

The strategic investors wholly-owned subsidiary, 1MDB Global Investment Limited, had issued a bond to raise US$3 billion in March last year, for which Najib’s government had provided a “letter of support”.

According to the offering circular issued by Goldman Sachs, 1MDB Global Investment will "either on-lend all of the nett proceedings of this offering" to Abu Dhabi Malaysia Investment Company (ADMIC) or "use the nett proceeds of the offering to fund its investments in ADMIC".

However, in its latest financial statements for the year ended March 2014, 1MDB had said that the remaining nett proceeds had been utilised by the company for working capital and debt repayment purposes.

Of the US$3 billion bond, US$283 million was paid to global investment bank Goldman Sachs International for certain commissions, fees and expenses while US$1.56 billion is invested with a licensed financial institution.

Meanwhile, in another written reply to Datuk Dr Tan Kee Kwong (PKR-Wangsa Maju), Najib said businessman Low Taek Jho had never worked in 1MDB.

"All 1MDB business decisions and dealings are conducted by the management and 1MDB board of directors," he said in a three-line reply.

Criticism has been mounting over 1MDB, the wholly-owned Finance Ministry investment vehicle, established in 2009, which had chalked up debts of up to RM42 billion.

Scrutiny on it has grown more intense recently following whistleblower site Sarawak Report's exposés last week. This has piled further pressure on Najib and prompted opposition politicians, former Umno leaders and anti-graft bodies to demand a thorough investigation into the fund.

Najib ordered the country's auditor-general to "independently verify 1MDB's accounts", with the findings to be passed to the Public Accounts Committee, which in turn reports to Parliament.

Last week, Auditor-General Tan Sri Ambrin Buang told the media that the national auditor's inspection of 1MDB's account had started, but did not set a time frame to complete the audit.

The national auditor's finding on 1MDB is key as it precedes further action by PAC, as well as the police's own investigation. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said the forces own probe into 1MDB would be contingent on the national auditor finding any "discrepancies or indications of wrongdoing".

Singapore's Business Times reported that Putrajaya had issued 1MDB a RM970 million loan, after a Cabinet meeting last month to discuss injecting funds into the debt-laden investor.

Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah revised the figure downwards to RM950 million, telling Parliament this morning that the fund was a standby credit for the firm, and expressed confidence that the company's cash-flow problems would be solved with an IPO (initial public offering) for its power plant assets, which had been postponed twice now. - tmi

1MDB: Masalahnya bermula dari TIA lagi...

Masalah kewangan 1MDB tidak akan berlaku jika kerajaan mengambil iktibar dari kecelaruan Terengganu Investment Authority (TIA) yang kerugian beratus juta tanpa satu projek dimulakan, demikian tegas Ahli Parlimen Kuala Terengganu Datuk Raja Kamarul Bahrin Raja Ahmad Shah.

Menurut Raja Bahrin, TIA dengan modal aset permulaan RM5 bilion telah mengalami masalah dari awal kerana perancangan yang lemah dan tidak cekap sehingga diambil alih oleh 1MDB kurang setahun selepas ditubuhkan.

"Apa yang dipersoalkan..., mengapa orang yang sama gagal di TIA menerajui semula 1MBD. Nampaknya kerajaan tidak mengambil iktibar atas kegagalan TIA," soalnya dalam sidang media hari ini.

Beliau berkata, tiga individu yang sama menjadi penggerak utama TIA iaitu Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, ahli perniagaan Jho Low dan Datuk Shahrul.

"Di sinilah permulaan tangan-tangan ghaib dan penglibatan Jho Low menyebabkan kecelaruan kedua bernama 1MDB. Inilah sebenarnya permulaan penggerak utama Jho Low dalam TIA dan seterusnya 1MDB," katanya.

Jelasnya, inilah yang sepatutnya menjadi pengajaran tetapi sudah menjadi trend mengulangi perbuatan yang sama di dalam 1MDB dengan kerugian lebih besar, RM42 bilion.

Menurut Raja Bahrin, TIA ditubuhkan atas idea Najib Tun Razak dan Kerajaan Terengganu dengan Datuk Shahrul sebagai CEO.

TIA ditubuhkan kerana mencontohi  Norway Sovereign Wealth Fund (Tabung Pelaburan Norway) yang merupakan contoh terbaik dunia dalam pelaburan wang minyak negara untuk generasi akan datang yang diperoleh daripada keuntungan tunai hasil minyak bukan daripada pinjaman bank. 

Jelas Raja Bahrin, perbezaan TIA adalah daripada pendapatan masa depan, daripada minyak dan wang pinjaman.

"Tabung Warisan Minyak sejak 1975 semasa Menteri Besar Tan Sri Wan Moktar telah habis digunakan. Masalahnya, Terengganu sudah tidak lagi dapat royalti sejak 1999 tetapi hanya menerima wang ehsan yang tidak ada ketentuan atau ketetapan formula peratusan yang akan diterima.

"Anehnya di sebalik sandiwara ini semua, mereka buat-buat lupa akan tindakan BN sendiri yang telah membatalkan royalti kepada Terengganu apabila PAS memerintah Terengganu dan menggantikan dengan wang ehsan.

"Bagaimana wang ehsan boleh diambil kira pendapatan akan datang kerana ehsan tidak ada satu angka atau jumlah yang ditetapkan. Inilah sandiwara BN dalam justifikasi menubuhkan TIA," katanya.


Justeru katanya, kerajaan Terengganu lebih bijak membatalkan TIA apabila menyedari bayaran faedah pinjaman sahaja RM800 juta setahun tanpa projek dikenal pasti, TIA dibubarkan dan lahirlah 1MDB. – harakahdaily

1MDB merely repeating TIA’s mistakes...

The problems plaguing 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) is the result of repeating the same mistakes as its predecessor, Terengganu Investment Authority (TIA), a Terengganu MP said today.

PAS’ Kuala Terengganu MP Raja Kamarul Bahrin Raja Shah Ahmad said that 1MDB was merely a “new cinema with the same actors”, comparing it to TIA.

He also said that while TIA and 1MDB were different "movies", they had the same actors - Datuk Seri Najib Razak, businessman Jho Low and Datuk Shahrol Halmi.

Raja Bahrin also said it was a farce that approval was needed to bring back US$1.1 billion into Malaysia but added that Low had said in emails exposed by website Sarawak Report that Bank Negara's approval was not needed to move US$600 million to Cayman Islands.

TIA was set up in 2008 as a sovereign fund to manage future oil royalties for Terengganu, but in 2009 was converted into 1MDB by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

He also said that although the state government pulled out when the loan was being syndicated to TIA, some actors were paid over RM200 million in commissions.

"The Terengganu state government got cold feet because no project was identified, but in the process of syndicating the loan, somebody got rich very fast, RM250 million had been paid out for nothing.

Raja Kamarul pointed out that TIA took a RM5 billion loan and yet no projects had taken off by the time it was turned into 1MDB.

“We need to know, the RM5 billion is under whose liability? Who is paying for it?” Raja Kamarul asked during a press conference at the Parliament lobby today.

“TIA was a full-dress rehearsal, while 1MDB was the final implementation,” Raja Kamarul said.

Raja Kamarul described the situation akin to a person falling into the same snake pit twice, only to be bitten by a larger snake the second time around.

“The international actor remains the same, a Malaysian by the name of Jho Low (left),” he said.

The young tycoon Taek Jho Low was instrumental in the setting up of TIA and now he has been alleged to have been orchestrating 1MDB’s dealings as well, raking in millions in the process. - mk
