Bekas banduan kongsi pengalaman sedih Anwar di penjara...

Di sebalik tirai besi, tiada siapa menyangka, kehadiran Ketua Umum KEADILAN, Saudara Anwar Ibrahim membuka lembaran baharu kepada penghuni-penghuni Penjara Sungai Buloh.

Sulaiman Ajik, 49 yang baru dibebaskan selepas dipenjara enam bulan hadir ke pejabat Suara Keadilan berkongsi cerita dan pengalamannya bersama Anwar.

“Kali pertama melihat Anwar di dalam sel waktu itu, saya cukup sayu dan sedih. Tidak dapat digambarkan bila seorang pemimpin seperti beliau meringkuk di penjara dalam keadaan sedemikian rupa.

“Tapi beliau tidak mudah patah semangat. Dalam penjara pun, beliau selalu beri kata-kata semangat pada semua banduan-banduan lain,” kata Sulaiman menceritakan detik-detik awal ketika melihat sosok tubuh pemimpin berjiwa besar di hadapannya waktu itu.

Sulaiman(gambar,bawah) berkata, masa Anwar banyak dihabiskan dengan mentelaah buku agama dan membaca Al Quran. Malah Anwar juga mengimamkan lebih 300 jemaah banduan dan petugas-petugas penjara serta menyampaikan tazkirah seusai solat.

“Beliau langsung tidak menyentuh isu politik, semua pengisian adalah berbentuk nasihat dan bagaimana mahu menjadi manusia yang baik dan berguna kepada manusia.

“Tetapi yang menariknya apabila Anwar memberi tazkirah, para banduan seolah-olah terpaku dan sentiasa ternanti-nanti pada esoknya apa yang ingin Anwar sampaikan,” katanya yang tidak ralat gambarnya disiarkan Suara Keadilan.

Sulaiman dipenjarakan atas dakwaan memiliki barang curi selepas mendakwa dirinya diperdaya untuk membeli sebuah laptop daripada seorang pelajar.

Menceritakan pengalamannya lebih lanjut, Sulaiman berkata keadaan sel penjara sangat menyeksakan bagi individu seusia Anwar.Apatah lagi, bekas Ahli Parlimen Permatang Pauh itu turut menderita sakit belakang.

Mungkin selepas mendapat bantahan peguam, katanya, Anwar diberikan sebuah meja sebagai alas tempat tidur.

“Tetapi yang sedihnya hanya tilam nipis sebagai pengalas perbaringan. Untuk bantal pula atas inisiatif banduan-banduan yang lain yang mengumpulkan lipatan kain dan dimasukkan ke dalam sarung sebagai bantal untuk Anwar tidur,” ceritanya sayu.- Keadilan Daily

'Suara dari penjara' untuk Wan Azizah...

 Tanpa jasadnya di Permatang Pauh, kehadiran Ketua Umum PKR Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim tetap dirasai dengan kemunculan sekeping surat daripada beliau menggesa pengundi menyokong isterinya, Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

Melalui surat itu Anwar berkata, dia akan terus bersabar menghadapi nasibnya yang kini dipenjara di Sungai Buloh.

“Insha-Allah, saya akan terus bersabar dan perkuat tekad berjuang (dalam menghadapi lima tahun penjara)," katanya.

Menurut bekas timbalan perdana menteri itu negara kini "bergelut dengan pelbagai tindakan kezaliman dan mendera rakyat" serta beban cukai termasuk GST.

“Sekali lagi saya mohon sokongan saudara-saudara memilih Dr Wan Aziah Ismail mewakili Pakatan Rakyat untuk meneruskan perjuangan menegak keadilan dan membela nasib rakyat,” katanya.

Anwar dilucutkan haknya sebagai ahli parlimen selepas disabitkan kesalahan di mahkamah.

Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya menetapkan 7 Mei ini sebagai hari mengundi bagi memilih calon menggantikan Anwar.

Pakatan diwakili Wan Azizah yang juga Presiden PKR. Beliau dicabar tiga lagi calon, termasuk dari BN, Suhaimi Sabudin dan dua calon bebas.

Surat Anwar itu ditulisnya ketika menghadiri perbicaraan di Mahkamah Syariah Kuala Lumpur semalam. - mk

 

Support Azizah, Anwar pens letter for voters...

PKR de-facto leader Anwar Ibrahim has written a letter to voters in Permatang Pauh urging them to vote for his wife, PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

The parliament constituency in Penang will witness a by-election on May 7 after the seat was declared vacant following Anwar’s conviction and incarceration.

Wan Azizah will be facing Umno's Suhaimi Sabudin and two others in the contest.

Anwar, who wrote the letter when he attended the Kuala Lumpur Syariah Court of Appeal proceedings yesterday, thanked the voters for supporting him in the past.

"Insya'allah (God willing) I would persevere (in facing the five-year jail term) and continue to fight on.

"The country is facing numerous tyrannical actions and the government is abusing the people, including the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

"I hope you would support Wan Azizah as the PKR and Pakatan Rakyat candidate to uphold justice and to represent you," he said.

Permatang Pauh is considered a stronghold of Anwar. He held the seat since 1982 until his first imprisonment in 1999.

In the 1999, 2004 and 2008 general elections, Wan Azizah stood in the seat.

She then resigned to pave the way for a by-election when Anwar’s five-year ban from active politics expired in July 2008.

Anwar won the by-election and defended the seat in the 2013 national polls.

The former opposition leader was found guilty by the Federal Court on Feb 10 with sodomising his former aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.

Yesteday, he was at the Syariah Court of Appeal to hear the decision on having senior lawyer Zainul Rijal Abu Bakar removed from representing Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Jamil Khir Baharom and two others, in his qazaf (bearing false witness) appeal.

Anwar has always maintained that the charge was fabricated by his political rivals but the government has denied this.- mk

Wan Azizah goes shopping to make a point about GST...

Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, who is Pakatan Rakyat's candidate for the Permatang Pauh by-election, took her campaign to a mini mart in Penanti to make a point about the goods and services tax (GST).

She spent about 30 minutes walking from aisle to aisle at the Jimat mini mart, looking at food and household items such as canned sardines, instant noodles and women's sanitary pads that are subjected to GST.

After cashing out the items she bought, which included various food stuff, household items and baby items, she told pressmen that for necessities over RM200, a family would have to pay RM11.23 for GST.

"I have many children and grandchildren too. I also go shopping for household items often. The GST will burden the people, especially the poor every time they need to buy their household items.

"If wealthy people like Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad complains about the GST, then what about the ordinary citizens?" she said, in reference to the former prime minister's criticism against implementation of the consumption tax by the present administration under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Dr Wan Azizah said the GST was unfair to those in the low-income group, rubbishing claims that now everyone had to pay tax, adding that the people were being forced to pay for Putrajaya's mismanagement of the economy.

She said when her husband Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was deputy prime minister and finance minister in the 1990s until he was sacked in 1998, the national budget recorded surpluses.

"Now we see a deficit budget recorded every year. The nation's debt has hit a critical level," she said.

Asked if the GST was giving her an advantage in the by-election, Dr Wan Azizah said PR could also win on many other issues.

"There are more issues than the GST... like 'beli jet dan cuci rambut' (buying jet and washing or styling hair)," she said.

PKR's campaign is going with the tagline: "Demi Rakyat: Bantah GST, Tegakkan Keadilan" (For the people: oppose GST, uphold Justice) in its campaign. The GST is the Pakatan Rakyat coalition's number one issue.

PKR strategy director Sim Tze Tzin said the coalition had found the issue to be the main concern of the people during their house-to-house visits around the Permatang Pauh constituency so far.

He said what was amazing was they found that Barisan Nasional supporters were also concerned about GST, not only PR supporters and fence-sitters.

Meanwhile, BN leader Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong said the opposition was taking advantage of the situation and confusing the people.

The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department said there was a difference between the real impact of the GST and the actions of unscrupulous traders hiking up their prices.

He said it was true that Putrajaya must step up on its enforcement exercise but both sides of the political divide should also be united in standing up against irresponsible and profiteering traders.

"The people cannot just blame the government whenever a trader hikes up his prices. It cannot be simply the government's fault.

"If wantan mee is up RM1 or so, do you just blame the government? Flour is zero-rated but washing liquid is not, so that is another issue. Traders must explain if they hike up their prices beyond what is reasonable," he told reporters during a walkabout this morning at the Sama Gagah market, where he campaigned for BN's candidate Suhaimi Sabudin.

The MCA deputy president said the objective of the federal government was still to ensure the people do not suffer and that out of over 170 countries implementing GST, Malaysia was among the more caring ones with many items categorised as zero-rated. – tmi
