Penduduk Pulau Pinang Kaji Sokongan Terhadap Pakatan Rakyat

Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi mencadangkan agar satu suruhanjaya ditubuhkan bagi mengkaji kepincangan terhadap pemerintahan PR, terutamanya DAP. Beliau juga menggesa agar penduduk Pulau Pinang mengkaji semula sokongan terhadap PR dan beralih semula kepada BN dalam pilihan raya umum ke - 13 yang akan datang. Klik sini untuk berita lanjut.

Kenapa nak kaji pemerintah samada pincang atau tak pincang, banyak kerja lain yang lebih penting dan mendesak sekarang ini yang dihadapi oleh orang melayu di Pulau Pinang.

Umno sepatutnya mengambil kesempatan ini untuk memulihkan semula kedudukan orang melayu dalam segala segi, letakkan semula kedudukan orang melayu pada garisan yang sama dengan bangsa lain agar kita dapat berlumba dengan lebih adil.

Secara mendapat berita bahawa secara kasarnya lebih 50% remaja atau golongan muda mudi melayu di P Pinang terlibat dengan dadah sintetik, habis seluruh kampung dilanda dengan masalah yang sama.

Banyak muda mudi melayu yang terlibat dengan aktiviti jenayah, dadah, dedah, rogol, dirogol, zina, rempit, samun, pecah rumah, curi motor dan macam-macam lagi. Sudah rasa tak selamat membesarkan anak-anak kita di sana.

Dalam taklimat dulan lepas di salah sebuah sekolah di Seberang Perai, wakil polis memberikan statistik yang menakutkan, hari-hari terdapat lebih daripada 5 kes rogol, 5 kes zina, 5 kes curi motor.

Yang paling mengejutkan apabila polis mendapati tandas Mobil bersebelahan masjid Kubang Semang merupakan pot atau hub aktiviti zina antara remaja berlaku hampir setiap minggu, dan polis mendedahkan bahawa remaja yang di tahan sendiri mengakui bahawa mereka sering menjadi tandas petrol station sebagai pot mereka melakukan aktiviti zina...!!!!

Kes kesusahan pula amat memilukan, cuba pergi lihat para nelayan di Kuala MUda, 3 hari pergi ke laut seekor ikan pun tak dapat bawa balik, anak-anak kelaparan, pendapatan tak seberapa, kerja tiada. Untuk makan ikan termenung (kembong) seumpama mahu makan masakan hotel.

Siapa nak bantu mereka kalau bukan orang melayu sendiri, takkan nak harap orang cina, atau bangsa lain membantu bukan bangsa mereka sendiri.

Kes anak luar nikah jangan nak cakaplah!, bersepah dan apabila di tambah dengan kesempitan hidup anak-anak ini bakal menjadi penjenayah yang berkeliaran di atas jalan, alamat kes jenayah akan meningkat tahun demi tahun, anak-anak orang melayulah, siapa lagi.

Cukuplah keluarkan cakap-cakap politik, baik Umno, Pas, Dap, PKR atau siapa saja, bila kalah cakap lain bila menang cakap lain. Buat kerja sudahlah...!

Enjin jet pejuang yang hilang generasi lama, kata Najib

Najib memberikan komen yang seperti mengambil ringan sahaja terhadap kehilangan 2 enjin jet F-5E yang berharga setiap satu lebih RM300 ribu. Lihat laporan di bawah dari utusan malaysia,

Enjin jet pejuang yang hilang generasi lama, kata Najib

06/02/2010 4:51pm

KUALA LUMPUR 6 Feb. – Semua usaha diambil untuk menemui semula dua enjin jet pejuang F-5E milik Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia (TUDM) yang hilang, yang dikesan di Uruguay, walaupun barang-barang itu bukan aset strategik kepada negara, kata Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Beliau berkata, kedua-dua enjin itu untuk kuasa jet pejuang F-5E berusia lebih 35 tahun kerana ia dibeli pada tahun 1972.

Bercakap kepada pemberita selepas melakukan lawatan tinjauan di Kampung Baru di sini hari ini, katanya, nilai enjin tersebut ialah kira-kira RM303,000 setiap satu.

"Kedua-duanya adalah enjin yang sangat lama... bukan enjin canggih. Jadi ia bukan satu aset strategik kepada negara. Ia bukanlah seperti enjin Sukhoi atau F-18,” kata beliau.

Katanya, enjin pesawat itu bukan lagi untuk pesawat barisan hadapan dari aspek kemampuan dan teknologi.

Semalam, Peguam Negara, Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail berkata, kerajaan Uruguay telah mengesan dua enjin yang hilang itu dan usaha-usaha sedang dilakukan untuk membawanya balik. – Bernama

Komen Saya:

Kalau enjin yang berat bertan-tan, dan di bawah jagaan organisasi yang sepatutnya sentiasa berada di depan dalam hal-hal keselamatan negara, berjaya dicuri dengan selamba oleh hanya 2 orang sahaja, bagai mana dengan lain-lain hal terutamanya isu-isu maklumat rahsia yang menyentuh keselamatan negara?

Kalau di negara lain sudah pasti ada menteri yang akan meletakkan jawatan mengambil tanggungjawab terhadap kejadian yang amat memalukan itu, patutlah negara kita tidak semaju negara-negara tersebut. Kita kena tinggal dalam segala segi.

Melayu perlu ambil iktibar kemelut politik Pulau Pinang

Laporan dari akhbar utusan yang mengambil kesempatan dari isu kritikan terhadap pentadbiran kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang yang disensasikan bagi mendapatkan mileage politik.

Melayu perlu ambil iktibar kemelut politik Pulau Pinang

BUKIT MERTAJAM 4 Feb. - Kemelut politik di Pulau Pinang seharusnya menyedarkan orang Melayu betapa kerajaan negeri yang diketuai DAP dan Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) sebenarnya tidak ikhlas memperjuangkan nasib mereka.

Bekas Exco Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK), Mohammad Afandy Yusof berkata, kemelut itu jelas menunjukkan wajah sebenar kepimpinan DAP-PKR yang hanya berlumba-lumba mengejar keuntungan politik dan peribadi.

Lebih malang katanya, rata-rata pemimpin PKR sanggup akur dengan tindak-tanduk DAP dan enggan bersuara semata-mata takut kehilangan jawatan.

"Banyak iktibar yang boleh direnung bukan sahaja isu gerai peniaga kecil Melayu yang diroboh tetapi juga sikap biadab pemimpin DAP sebelum ini yang memperlekehkan agama Islam.

"Lihat sahaja keceluparan pemimpin DAP yang pernah mengaitkan syariah Islam dengan golongan ekstremis. Semua ini seharusnya memberi kesedaran kepada orang Melayu," katanya pada sidang akhbar di sini hari ini.

Mohammad Afandy yang meninggalkan PKR pada Ogos 2008 berkata, dakwaan Ahli Parlimen Bayan Baru, Datuk Zahrain Mohamed Hashim yang menyifatkan Ketua Menteri, Lim Guan Eng sebagai cauvinis dan diktator seharusnya membuka mata orang Melayu.

Menurutnya, rentetan beberapa isu membabitkan orang Melayu termasuk tindakan kerajaan negeri meroboh gerai-gerai peniaga kecil Melayu membuktikan janji Guan Eng sebelum ini tidak ubah seperti 'tin kosong'.

"Guan Eng kononnya akan mengikut cara pemerintahan Khalifah Umar Abdul Aziz dan kini terbukti ia hanyalah gimik politik murahan untuk mengaburi mata pengundi Melayu.

"Keadaan sekarang tidak ubah seperti lubang sedang digali oleh pemimpin-pemimpin ini yang akhirnya akan menimbus masa depan orang Melayu sendiri," katanya yang juga bekas Ketua Penerangan PKR Bahagian Bayan Baru.

Malah dakwanya, kebiadaban pemimpin DAP juga terserlah apabila Ketua Staf Pejabat Ketua Menteri, Jeff Ooi secara terang-terangan menyifatkan PKR perlu 'dibersihkan daripada pemimpin-pemimpin sampah'.

Sehingga kini katanya, tiada pemimpin PKR yang berani bangkit menepis dakwaan itu kerana takut hilang jawatan sehingga lebih rela menghentam Zahrain walaupun pemimpin itu mengkritik demi kepentingan parti.

Komen saya:

Cukuplah orang melayu asyik menyalahkan orang lain untuk menjaga kebajikan mereka. Sebelum inipun ketua menterinya bukanlah Melayu, dan parti yang memerintah dulupun bukanlah parti melayu. Orang Melayu di sana masih tak sedar-sedar untuk menaikkan diri mereka sendiri tanpa mengharapkan sesiapa, mereka lebih selesa sekadar menjadi pekerja makan gaji dan tauke-tauke industri yang bergiat maju di sana hampir keseluruhannya adalah bukan Melayu.

Jangan kita salah bangsa lain apabila mereka tak membantu untuk menaikkan bangsa kita sendiri, itu lumrah manusia. Cuba lihat fakta mengenai P Pinang tentang populasi penduduk:

Cina 41.8%

Melayu 40.3%

India 10.8%

Lain-lain 7.1%

Dari segi populasi, kaum yang dominan adalah kaum Cina, dari segi ekonomipun kaum Cina yang menguasai. Kalau kita sendiri tak berubah, jangan harap nak maju. Kalau nak berniaga, asyik secara haram dengan mengadakan gerai-gerai haram, jangan nak marah pemerintah apabila kena roboh.

Najib Tawarkan Jawatan Dalam Kerajaan Kepada Bekas CEO Petronas, Hassan Merican

Setelah bersara daripada menerajui satu-satunya syarikat yang disenaraikan dalam top 500 fortune company, TanSri Hassan Merican kini dalam perbincangan dengan Perdana Menteri kita bagaimana negara boleh memanafaatkan kepakarannya dalam menjadikan Malaysia sebuah negara yang lebih baik.

Dalam satu segi, PM kita memang berfikiran jauh dan sentiasa tidak mensia-siakan segala sumber yang ada demi kepentingan rakyat Malaysia. Banyak nama-nama besar dalam dunia perniagaan atau korporat yang telah diserapkan dalam senarai jentera pentadbiran kerajaan seperti Amer Sham, Idris Jala, Nor Muhammad, dll.

Tapi harus diingat bahawa dunia perniagaan dengan dunia politik adalah sesuatu yang amat berbeza umpama minyak dengan air, sampai bilapun tak boleh bercampur. Dunia politik matlamatnya adalah kekuasaan manakala dunia perniagaan matlamatnya adalah keuntungan.

Biasanya apabila seseorang yang hebat dalam dunia korporat terjun masuk ke dalam dunia politik, mereka secara tiba-tiba akan menjadi lembab, dan terhimpit. Kalau mereka masuk dalam jentera kerajaan mereka akan menghabiskan masa mencipta prosedur demi prosedur yang tak kesudahan bagi menyusahkan rakyat.

Mungkin PM perlu mengasingkan dahulu kedudukan pemimpin politik dengan jentera kerajaan, hilangkan dahulu campur tangan politik dalam pentadbiran kerajaan termasuklah aktiviti-aktiviti surat sokongan, projek-projek swasta berbau politik, persepsi serta peranan "kabel" dalam mendapatkan projek kerajaan, tidak menganaktirikan kawasan di bawah pemerintahan parti pembangkang dan lain-lain.

Anwar Ibrahim Dari Kaca Mata BBC

Profile: Anwar Ibrahim

Anwar Ibrahim is well aware of the perils and pitfalls of Malaysian political life.

Once the deputy prime minister and tipped for the country's highest office, he fell out with top leaders and was beaten, jailed and disgraced.

Released from prison, he emerged as the de facto head of a newly invigorated opposition and appeared poised to challenge the ruling coalition's 50-year hold on power.

Then new - yet familiar - claims against him were made, setting the stage for fresh political turmoil.

Sexual misconduct

Massive street demonstrations took place in 1999 when Mr Anwar was jailed for abuse of power.

Just a year earlier, his star had appeared to be in the ascendant. He was widely expected to succeed then Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad.

Mr Anwar's wife has supported him throughout the accusations

But there were growing tensions between the two men, particularly over economic policy and, in September 1998, Mr Anwar found himself sacked and arrested over allegations of sexual misconduct.

The trial which followed led to a six-year jail term for corruption. In 2000 he was found guilty on a second charge, of sodomy with his wife's driver, and jailed for a further nine years, to be served concurrently with his other sentence.

Mr Anwar opposed both convictions, supported by his wife - politician Wan Azizah Wan Ismail - and a hardcore of supporters. In late 2004 Malaysia's Supreme Court overturned the sodomy conviction, freeing him from jail.

Although banned from politics until April 2008, Mr Anwar emerged as the de facto opposition leader - acting as a unifying figure for Malaysia's diverse political groups.

Unprecedented gains

And as Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi's popularity plummeted over ethnic tensions, inflation and corruption gripes, the opposition began to look like more of a credible force.

Elections in March 2008 confirmed the shift. The ruling coalition saw its worst results in 50 years, while the opposition made unprecedented gains. The government had never looked weaker - or the opposition forces stronger.

Mr Anwar said he had enough lawmakers to topple the government and that he was waiting for the right moment.

Then new - but familiar - allegations emerged against him. A 23-year-old former aide accused him of sodomy.

Once again Mr Anwar denies the claims, saying they are part of a government conspiracy to undermine his increasingly strong opposition alliance.

"There is no basis for this whole fabrication and malicious attacks. It is just a repeat of the 1998 script. You can see the pattern," he told reporters soon after the accusations came to light.

Radical Islam

Even despite the allegations against him, Mr Anwar cuts a controversial figure.

To his backers, including many supporters in the international community, he is the leading force for reform in Malaysia.

The cries of "reformasi" on the streets of Kuala Lumpur following his first arrest, and his courting of the international media during his time as Mahathir's deputy, led many in the West to portray Mr Anwar as an Asian renaissance man, leading the charge against a corrupt "ancien regime".

But many Malaysians, particularly non-Muslims, see it quite differently, pointing to Mr Anwar's political roots in radical Islam.

He made his name as a student leader, defacing English language signs at the University of Malaya and founding Malaysia's Islamic youth movement, ABIM.

Many local Chinese people, who make up the largest ethnic group after the Muslim Malays, doubt that Mr Anwar has left his radical Islamic roots far behind.

Mr Anwar maintains that he is a unifying figure, not a divisive one.

But the fresh allegations against him could well have a disturbing effect on Malaysia's political stage.

Anwar Ibrahim sodomy trial finally begins in Malaysia

Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has pleaded not guilty at the start of his long-delayed sodomy trial.

Prosecutors say he sodomised a male aide, and they claim that traces of Mr Anwar's DNA were found in medical tests on the man making the allegations.

Mr Anwar has consistently denied the charges, calling them a conspiracy aimed at breaking his increasingly strong political movement.

Homosexual acts are illegal in Malaysia and he faces up to 20 years in prison.

This is not the first time the charismatic opposition leader - who was once the deputy prime minister until his sudden sacking in 1998 - has faced a sodomy claim.

Many of Mr Anwar's supporters turned up at court to cheer him on

He served six years after an earlier conviction, which was subsequently overturned on appeal. After his release he led the opposition to election gains in 2008.

Mr Anwar represents a major challenge to Prime Minister Najib Razak, whose coalition has held power for more than 50 years.

'Malicious and frivolous'

Mr Anwar's much anticipated trial has already been delayed many times, and could easily have been put back yet again.

His lawyers tried a last-ditch effort to ask for advanced access to medical evidence, DNA and CCTV tapes, which they say are key in providing a proper defence.

But a judge decided there was no reason to delay proceedings any further, and Mr Anwar finally faced his 24-year old male accuser, Saiful Bukhari Azlan, in the High Court.

Mr Saiful said Mr Anwar had demanded sex in a Kuala Lumpur apartment.

"I was angry and afraid," Mr Saiful told the court, according to Reuters news agency. "I rejected his offer. I said I didn't want to do it."

The prosecution say that Mr Anwar's semen was found in medical tests on Mr Saiful, and say they plan to bring evidence of this to the trial.

But Mr Anwar maintains his innocence, and has called the sodomy allegation "malicious" and "frivolous".

"It is trumped up by political masters using the prosecution for that purpose," Mr Anwar told the High Court.

He believes he is only on trial for political reasons, and in an interview with the BBC before the trial, he referred to the claims against him as a "nasty conspiracy".

"We are committed to democratic ideals and some of us may have to pay the price," he said.

Rights groups have also criticised the trial. Amnesty International accused the government of using "the same old dirty tricks in an attempt to remove the opposition leader from politics".

There were huge protests after Mr Anwar's first conviction for sodomy a decade ago. He was freed on appeal in 2004.

ANALYSIS

Roger Hardy, BBC Islamic affairs analyst

Anwar Ibrahim's political journey has taken him from charismatic student leader to deputy prime minister and now his country's most prominent opposition politician.

He is a formidable political campaigner because of his popular appeal and because he has succeeded in putting together a coalition that straddles Malaysia's ethnic divisions.

This could be a make-or-break moment in Mr Anwar's tempestuous career. But for the current prime minister, Najib Razzak, putting him on trial is a politically risky strategy.

Cerita Perbicaraan Anwar Ibrahim Di BBC News

Cerita perbicaraan Bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim menjadi salah satu topik hangat yang paling ramai di baca hari ini dalam portal BBC News. Berikut laporan yang ditulis dalam portal tersebut:

Malaysia's Anwar denounces sodomy trial as 'corrupt'

The Malaysian opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim, has appeared in court to face charges of sodomy for the second time in a decade.

Mr Anwar denounced the proceedings as the "machinations of a dirty, corrupt few" as he entered the courtroom in the capital, Kuala Lumpur.

He could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

Mr Anwar served six years after an earlier sodomy conviction, but led the opposition to election gains in 2008.

The gains represented a major challenge to Prime Minister Najib Razak, whose coalition has held power for more than 50 years.

'Dirty tricks'

Mr Anwar was accompanied by his wife and two daughters as he entered the courtroom. Dozens of his supporters shouted "reform, reform".

After a brief hearing, the court was adjourned until 0630GMT.

The 62-year-old former deputy premier has consistently maintained the charges against him are a political conspiracy.

In an interview with the BBC before the trial began, Mr Anwar said: "I think from the very start we'll state our position and fight it out, and expose their nasty conspiracy.

"We were committed to a reform agenda. We are committed to democratic ideals and some of us may have to pay the price.

"The image of the country is severely damaged by their actions, and I think they should not underestimate the strength and wisdom of the Malaysian people."

Government officials deny there is any plot against him.

The sodomy allegations have been levelled by a 24-year-old male former aide.

On Friday, the Federal Court upheld a lower court's ruling that Mr Anwar could not have access to medical evidence held by prosecutors.

Mr Anwar's lawyer said the refusal had had "an emasculating effect in our preparation of the defence".

Rights groups have criticised the trial.

Amnesty International accused the government of using "the same old dirty tricks in an attempt to remove the opposition leader from politics".

There were huge protests after Mr Anwar's first conviction for sodomy a decade ago. He was freed on appeal in 2004.

All homosexual acts are criminal in Malaysia.
