Berapa banyak pun pameran kartun yang ingin dibuat UMNO untuk menghentam pembangkang, itu terpulang kepada mereka, kata kartunis, Zunar atau nama sebenarnya Zulkiflee Anwar Ulhaque.
Namun yang dikesalkan beliau adalah sikap gelabah dan dwi-standard UMNO apabila pameran kartunnya yang mengkritik kerajaan dan pemimpin parti Melayu itu diserang oleh juak-juak mereka.
“Mesej saya kepada UMNO. Teruskan, buat seberapa banyak pameran kartun yang kamu mahu.
“Betul-betul tak ada maruah dan tak ada malu,” ujarnya.
Beliau berkata demikian mengulas pameran kartun UMNO yang bertemakan anti-DAP yang dipamerkan Biro Maklumat parti itu di tingkat bawah PWTC bersempena Perhimpunan Agung UMNO (PAU) yang sedang berlangsung.
Pada November lepas, pameran solo karya Zunar di Komtar, Pulau Pinang diserang sekumpulan samseng UMNO.
Dalam serangan tersebut, dua karya telah dirosakkan oleh samseng terbabit sehingga memaksa Zunar meminta bantuan Pasukan Simpanan Persekutuan (FRU) bagi mengawal keadaan.
Zunar dalam pada itu turut mempersoalkan sikap dwi-standard pihak berkuasa terhadap pameran yang dianjurkan beliau dan aktivis, Fahmi Reza.
“Bila saya dan Fahmi Reza buat pameran, kamu (polis) datang tangkap kami mengikut akta hasutan dan multimedia. Tetapi membisu bila UMNO yang buat.
“Saya bukan minta supaya polis menahan kartunis UMNO. Tetapi mengapa ada sikap dwi-standard dalam keadaan ini?” soalnya. – Roketkini.com
Siasatan atas 1MDB...
Seorang peguam kanan Mahkamah Agung Amerika Syarikat dilapor Utusan Malaysia berkata meskipun Jabatan Keadilan (DoJ) Amerika Syarikat (AS) telah memfailkan pelucut hak sivil ke atas aset yang didakwa mempunyai kaitan dengan 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), tetapi tidak ada tindakan mahkamah diambil ke atas 1MDB di AS.
Juga dilapor yang terdapat sedikit sahaja aktiviti berkaitan dengan kes itu dan tiada siapa yang dinamakan sebagai sasaran jenayah. Laporan penuh boleh dibaca di sini.
Peguam Negara Amerika Syarikat Jefferson Sessions pula dalam ucapannya di Global Forum on Asset Recovery di Washington DC, menyifatkan siasatan ke atas 1MDB segabai siasatan ke atas kes “kleptokrasi paling teruk”.
Katanya hampir separuh daripada kutipan hasil rasuah bernilai AS$ 3.5 bilion yang telah dirampas oleh kerajaan Amerika Syarikat datang dari saman sivil berkaitan 1MDB.
“Pegawai yang didakwa rasuah dan sekutu mereka dilaporkan menggunakan dana 1MDB untuk “perbelanjaan mewah” seperti AS$ 200 juta untuk hartanah di California Selatan dan New York, AS $ 130 juta dalam karya seni, AS$ 100 juta untuk muzik dan kapal layar AS$ 265 juta”.
“Secara keseluruhan, pegawai-pegawa 1MDB didakwa melakukan pengubahan wang haram lebih daripada AS $ 4.5 bilion menerusi urus niaga yang kabur dan kompleks dan syarikat cengkerang dengan akaun bank di pelbagai negara seperti Switzerland, Singapura, Luxembourg dan Amerika Syarikat,” katanya.
“Ini kleptokrasi paling teruk.”
“Hari ini, Jabatan Keadilan AS (DOJ) sedang berusaha untuk memberi keadilan kepada mangsa-mangsa skim yang dikatakan ini,” katanya.
“Itulah sebabnya kita semua mesti berbuat lebih banyak untuk mempercepat permintaan Bantuan Perundangan Bersama (MLA).
“Permintaan ini memastikan bahawa pendakwa mempunyai bukti bahawa mereka perlu membawa penjenayah ke muka pengadilan,”

Najib is a lost cause within
UMNO and the public...
Our beleaguered Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has resorted to all sorts of tricks to ensure his victory in the coming General Election, but it looks like defeat is staring him straight in the face. He can talk about winning by a two-thirds majority but he isn’t fooling anyone. If I were him, I would do a Mugabe and start building a nice hideaway in Dubai or someplace else that’s closer to home, like Koh Samui.
First, the PM’s strategy of working with PAS has gone awry. Even though PAS President Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang will remain his soulmate for years to come, PAS supporters have discovered that working with UMNO has created some distance between themselves and their friends in the coffee shops and suraus. They are embarrassed to even talk about collaborating with Najib.
Likewise, UMNO division supporters are so against working with PAS that they are willing to put up their own candidate if Najib uses his power to name anyone he wants for a seat. That’s why UMNO Kelantan will not cooperate with PAS; in fact, they have already started attacking PAS on the ground. They aspire to form a new government. I wish them well; at least they have guts.
Do you think Najib has many friends in the east? You must be joking. Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia, Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan and Datuk Seri Salleh Said Keruak are about all the friends he has. There is a lot of bravado and confidence in Najib’s camp, but the political reality suggests he is in deep trouble. No one in the east can give him undivided and unconditional support.
If he is so sure of support from his own party, then why did Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi have to resort to appealing to UMNO delegates one day before the General Assembly not to leave the PM alone? Zahid is not a Liverpool fan so it’s unlikely he was alluding to the song “You’ll Never Walk Alone” when talking about Najib.
I heard that Najib may enlist other “friends” in high places to join in the political attacks against Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and DAP. I would like to suggest to these friends to refrain themselves and not get too excited about helping the PM. He is a lost cause within UMNO, and much more so with members of the public. Everyone is just waiting to see him go. It would be tragic if these friends in high places misread the country’s political mood and made the cardinal mistake of backing a loser.
It would be more appropriate for them to refrain from taking sides, especially as neutrality is more in keeping with the traditions we have kept for so long. If they get involved, the people will see as them having a political agenda. The upcoming “mother of all elections” will be hot and volatile enough and will not need new reinforcements from the outside.
Let this battle be left to ordinary Malaysians. UMNO has enough leaders and firepower to blast off Tun Dr Mahathir, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, DAP and the rest of the Opposition to bits if that’s what they want to do. There is no need for others to join in. Only with such detachment in politics will the people continue to respect those in high places. - Zaid Ibrahim
