| Kembali ke perkampongan Orang Asal Posted: 10 Apr 2012 06:23 PM PDT Sebelum saya bercuti selama 5 hari, saya membuat lawatan dan mengadakan ceramah di perkampongan Orang Asal di Kuala Krau.
Di Kampong Beredut dan Kg Paya Pelong, cedramah di sana dijayakan oleh Sdr Wak Rabidin Kasmawi, Ketua PKR Cabang Rompin dan Sdr Man Kadir, Timbalan Ketua PKR Cabang Temerloh.
Saya juga telah aturkan ceramah di Kg Penderas dan Kg Pian dan mengundang Bob Manolan, AJK AMK Pusat yang juga Ketua AMK PKR Cabang Bera.
Tetapi kedua-dua ceramah itu terpaksa dibatalkan kerana di Kg Penderas, isteri Sdr Chim sedang sakit, dan mengikut amalan Orang Asal kaum Jahut, tidak boleh diadakan sebarang aktiviti di rumah tersebut jika didalamnya ada orang yang sakit.
Di Kg Pian jua terpaksa ditangguhkan kerana berlaku kematian di kampong itu.
Pada hari semalam, kami adakan Majlis Santai dan Dialog di Kg Penderas di rumah Sdr Sulong. Kami menyediakan makanan dan minuman untuk 150 orang untuk tujuan santai tersebut. Malangnya Kamera saya berlaku sedikit kerosakan dan gambar-gambar yang diambil tidak dapat ditransferkan kepada komputer.
Hari ini, kami akan mengadakan ceramah di Kg Pasu juga untuk tujuan santai dan dialog. Sdr Basri Hok selaku tuan rumah dan Sdr Rahman akan membuat panggilan kepada penduduk kampong.
Didalam Majlis itu nanti akan diadakan sesi soal-jawab mengenai isu tanah dan pendidikan orang Asal, dan melihatkan kepada Majlis Dialog di Kg Penderas semalam, isu yang paling rapat dengan Orang Asal ialah isu tanah.
Sdr Roman Achai dan Sdr Mat Labu yang berucap bagi pihak Orang Asal semalam memfokuskan kepada dua-dua isu tersebut; dan kedua-dua mereka mengajak Orang Asal Kg Penderas supaya memperjuangkan Hak Orang Asal dengan membawa perubahan dengan menukarkan Kerajaan UMNO/BN kepada kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat.
Didalam minggu ini, saya akan melawat kesemua perkampongan Orang Asal di Kuala Krau termasuklah Kg Lubok Wong, Kg Pian, Kg Rekoh, Kg Mendoi, Kg Terbol dan Kg Seboi.
Kami masih kekal dengan slogan di perkampongan Orang Asal di kawasan ini iaitu TEK HEK MARUAH HEK!
Akhirnya, bek meh hek jinjuong ramai-ramai dan laungkan REFORMASI! | |

| Repeal of ISA is Commendable, But Provisions in New Law That Depart From Ordinary Principles Must be Reviewed Posted: 10 Apr 2012 04:16 AM PDT The Malaysian Bar commends the Honourable Prime Minister for fulfilling the promise he made on 15 September 2011 to abolish the Internal Security Act 1960 ("ISA"). Since its enactment more than fifty-one years ago, this piece of oppressive legislation enabling preventive detention without trial has been extensively condemned for being a gross violation of human rights, and for the cruel and indiscriminate abuse resulting from its use.
The Malaysian Bar is fully supportive of the Government's aim to combat terrorism, which represents an extraordinary threat to international and domestic peace and security. The Government's counter-terrorism policy and actions must strike a delicate balance between collective security and individual liberties, and be consistent with the rule of law.
In its Memorandum dated 19 July 2010 ("Memorandum")[i], the Malaysian Bar expressed its view that there is adequate legislation to combat terrorism and, where necessary, the existing legislation could be strengthened alongside improved safeguards and oversight mechanisms. Nonetheless, the Bar acknowledges that the replacement legislation — the Security Offences (Special Measures) Bill 2012 ("Bill") — and the amendments to the Penal Code, Evidence Act 1950 and Criminal Procedure Code ("Amendments") allow for the right to trial, and contain some provisions found in the laws of other jurisdictions[ii]. Furthermore, the maximum period of detention of twenty-eight days, after the arrest and detention period of twenty-four hours, is consistent with the Bar's position in its Memorandum.
Bar Council was invited by the Honourable Attorney General to provide its comments — although within a short period of time prior to this legislation being tabled in Parliament — and two meetings were held to discuss the Bill. We welcome the open-minded and frank dialogue with the Attorney General's Chambers, and note that some of our suggestions were accepted. Whilst we appreciate the Government's desire for quick action and the hard work of the Attorney General's Chambers in its study, and drafting, of the Bill and the Amendments, we urge that in future the consultation process be more extensive, and more time be provided for it.
The Bill vests extraordinary and wide-ranging powers in the Government. The Bar expresses its concerns regarding, inter alia, the following issues[iii], which deserve further study and debate.
(a) Preamble — the validity of the Bill is not dependent on the invocation of Article 149 so long as it contains safeguards consistent with fundamental liberties.
(b) Section 3 (Interpretation) — the definition of "security offences" includes an act that is prejudicial to national security or public safety.[iv] Such a definition is too wide. Instead, a more precise, and better, definition can be found in the United Nations Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism:
Any act intended to cause death or serious bodily injury to a civilian, or to any other person not taking an active part in the hostilities in a situation of armed conflict, when the purpose of such act, by its nature or context, is to intimidate a population, or to compel a government or an international organization to do or abstain from doing an act.
(c) Section 4 (Power of arrest and detention) — the extension of the period of detention for a duration of not more than twenty-eight days should be subject to judicial oversight, instead of by way of decision of a police officer of or above the rank of Superintendent.
(d) Section 6 (Power to intercept communication) — this power should be exercised by a judge, and solicitor-client communications must be protected.
(e) Parts IV (Special Procedures Relating to Sensitive Information) and VII (Evidence) — it is here that the Malaysian Bar has its greatest concerns, and where there are radical departures from the current rules of evidence. The use of a summary of the evidence (as opposed to the evidence itself) and the lowering of the admissibility threshold will pose a serious impediment to a fair trial.
In particular, the radical departure from the ordinary rules of evidence may negatively impact on the accused's right to a fair trial. Counter-terrorism laws, policies and decisions must not usurp the very rights and freedoms that the terrorists themselves are threating.
We appreciate the assurance of the Attorney General that there will be continuous study and review of the Bill and the Amendments, and that the Malaysian Bar's contribution will be welcomed.
Apart from the ISA, the other legislation that now remains for the Honourable Prime Minister to consider amending — to rid our statute books of all arbitrary detention laws — are the Dangerous Drugs (Special Preventive Measures) Act 1985 and Prevention of Crime Act 1959, on the assumption that there will be no re-introduction of the Emergency (Public Order and Prevention of Crime) Ordinance 1969.
The Malaysian Bar encourages and supports the Prime Minister to continue on a path of law reform that is consonant with international human rights norms. Lim Chee Wee

10 April 2012 | | Altantuya Came to Malaysia to Meet Najib, Claims Her Father Posted: 10 Apr 2012 02:07 AM PDT The Malaysian Insider Murdered Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu came to work in Malaysia to specifically meet Datuk Seri Najib Razak, her father has alleged. Dr Setev Shaariibuu said today that when he asked his daughter a few years back the purpose of her trip to Malaysia, she said she had to "meet important people." "I asked her what was her purpose of travelling to Malaysia. She showed me a picture… taken in Paris. Three people were in it — Abdul Razak Baginda, Najib, and Altantuya. "She said 'I have to meet important people', and pointed to Najib," he told reporters, through Mongolian interpreter Tsoggerel Och. Shaariibuu (picture) said he did not know who Najib was when he saw the photograph several years back. "She told me she had something to decide with Najib. I told her it was not worth it but she went anyway. "A lot of witnesses have seen this picture," said a visibly-tired looking Shaariibuu. The father of the murdered Mongolian woman has offered himself as a witness to the on-going Scorpene submarine sale probe by French authorities, claiming his daughter's death was linked to the case. Shaariibuu said today his testimony would be able to "connect the dots" between her death and the Scorpene case, and that he will say "what he knows at the right time." "She went to Malaysia against my will," he said softly. Altantuya's one-time lover Abdul Razak, who was a close associate of Najib, was acquitted of a charge of abetting two Special Action Squad members — Azilah Hadri and Sirul Azhar Umar — to commit the murder in 2006. The murder was committed between 10pm on October 19, 2006, and 1am the following day at a clearing in Shah Alam's Mukim Bukit Raja. While Abdul Razak was acquitted, his co-accused Azilah and Sirul were found guilty and sentenced to death. Setev has also filed a RM100 million civil suit against the government and the convicted duo in June 2007, seeking compensation for the hardships his spouse and two grandchildren have suffered because of Altantuya's death. | |

| Apakah harapan Pakatan Rakyat di DUN Chembong? Posted: 09 Apr 2012 09:22 PM PDT  DUN N26 Chembong dalam Parlimen adalah antara DUN yang bewarna-warni dalam senario politik di Negeri Sembilan. Sebelum PRU 11 tahun 2004, DUN Chembong adalah di dalam Parlimen Telok Kemang. Hanya pada PRU 11 barulah DUN Chembong dimasukkan dalam Parlimen Rembau.
Semasa PRU 7 tahun 1986 calon BN hanya dicabar oleh calon Bebas dan Nasma (Parti Nasionalis Malaysia). Kedua-dua calon Bebas dan Nasma ini hilang deposit.
Semasa PRU 8 tahun 1990 calon BN dicabar oleh calon Semangat 46. Calon BN dengan majoriti besar.
Semasa PRU 9 tahun 1995 calon BN dicabar oleh calon Bebas. Sekali lagi calon Bebas hilang deposit.
Semasa PRU 10 tahun 1999 calon BN dicabar oleh calon Parti Keadilan Nasional. Calon PKN tewas, akan tetapi mendapat 38.35% undi.
Manakala semasa PRU 11 tahun 2004, calon BN dicabar oleh calon PAS. Calon PAS tewas, dengan undi yang menurun ke 19.29% undi sahaja.
Pada PRU 12 tahun 2008, calon BN dicabar oleh calon PAS. Calon PAS tewas, dengan undi yang sedikit meningkat ke 29.56%.
Apakah Pakatan Rakyat di Chembong untuk PRU 13? Untuk memenangi DUN Chembong harus memperolehi lebih 50% undi, sedangkan pencapaian terbaik pencabar BN sebelum ini ialah pada tahun 1999 dengan 38.35% undi. | | Keselamatan murid terancam Posted: 09 Apr 2012 05:59 PM PDT  MENYEBERANGI jalan raya yang sibuk dan berdepan risiko kemalangan adalah perkara biasa yang terpaksa ditempuhi pelajar Sekolah Agama Labis untuk menimba ilmu berikutan ketiadaan jejantas mahupun lampu isyarat di kawasan berkenaan.
LABIS 9 April - Sebahagian besar murid Sekolah Agama Labis terpaksa 'menggadai' nyawa melintasi jalan raya yang sibuk untuk pergi dan balik dari sekolah sejak lebih 10 tahun lalu terutama mereka yang tinggal di kawasan berhampiran seperti Taman Perling, Taman Wira dan Kampung Sungai Gatom. Khuatir dengan situasi itu yang boleh mengundang kecelakaan, penduduk merayu pihak berkuasa membina jejantas bagi kemudahan murid dan orang ramai yang ingin melintas jalan berkenaan. Burhannuddin Ibrahim, 53, berkata, sekiranya kerajaan tiada perancangan membina jejantas di kawasan berkenaan, pemasangan lampu isyarat dan lintasan pejalan kaki mungkin mampu mengatasi masalah itu. http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2012&dt=0410&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Johor&pg=wj_01.htm | |

| PTPN will be abolished once PAKATAN RAKYAT forms the Government. Posted: 10 Apr 2012 06:52 AM PDT 
PKR Supreme Council Member cum PKR Sabah Secretary Dr Roland Chia urged for the abolishment of PTPN loan that is currently imposed by the present BN government to students pursuing tertiary education. Dr Roland Chia was making this call in view of numerous complaints from worrying and stressful students and parents who took the PTPTN now regret taking the loans. Firstly, they have to start paying back the PTPTN loans 6 months after graduation whether employed or not. If not they will be blacklisted and penalties will be imposed due to late payment. Whilst another group of students especially from the inner most interior region of Sabah despite having offer letters to pursue tertiary education but unable to register due to additional administration costs imposed by the educational institution and also travelling costs i.e flight costs to travel from Sabah to Kuala Lumpur. As far as PKR & Pakatan Rakyat is concern, PTPN loans will be scrapped once the Pakatan Rakyat is given the mandate to form the next federal government. In the state of Selangor the Pakatan Rakyat State Government, policy of students of Selangor birth , who has gain admission to tertiary educations locally were given a once off monetary aid of RM1000 to offset miscellaneous costs have been implemented. Every Malaysian has a right to education. Education is one of the necessities of life and nations which have developed have the best education systems are not surprisingly world leaders in almost every arena. As long as someone wants to get an education and is qualified to attend a certain course, then he or she must be given the right to pursue that knowledge. Is it fair if just because a person does not have the money, he or she is denied education while someone who is mediocre but has the money gets it? Turkey is one of the model countries in the world that provided free education from primary up to tertiary education despite being a net importer of Oil/ Crude Petroleum Oil i.e. a country that doesn't have the wealth of oil and gas. Malaysia despite being an oil rich country with PETRONAS having an annual profit of RM60 Billion cannot even provide the basic necessity of education to her citizens. In Buku Jingga Pakatan Rakyat Sabah, the state Sabah will be given greater autonomy in implementing educational policies when the Pakatan Rakyat Sabah is given the mandate to govern the state – Dr Roland Chia added. | |
