| Khir Toyo Terhalang Dari Segi Moral Untuk Bercakap Pasal Kepentingan Rakyat Selangor Posted: 02 Aug 2010 01:47 AM PDT KENYATAAN AKHBAR 02 OGOS 2010 Kerajaan Negeri Selangor sentiasa merai pandangan pelbagai pihak berkaitan pentadbiran dan dasar-dasar termasuk dasar pemberian diskaun, insentif dan sebagainya. Apa yang penting bagi kerajaan ialah akhirnya rakyat Selangor yang layak, dapat menikmati hasil dari dasar dan ketetapan tersebut. Ini tidak terkecuali di dalam mencari jalan terbaik mengenai permasalah air di negeri ini. Kerajaan Persekutuan harus ingat kemelut air di Selangor bermula apabila Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas) dibenarkan menaikkan tarif air tanpa mengambil kira beban tanggungan rakyat yang masih merangkak di dalam kemelut ekonomi global. Kerajaan BN yang di pimpin oleh YB Dr Mohd Khir bin Toyo telah menandatangani perjanjian konsesi air dengan Syabas dimana syarikat itu dibenarkan menaikkan tarif sehingga 37% pada 2009, 25% pada 2012, 20% pada 2015, 10% pada 2018 dan 5% pada 2021. Jelas, Kerajaan Pusat bukan sahaja gagal untuk membantu rakyat Selangor untuk mendapatkan kemudahan air yang murah malah gagal pula mengambil tindakan ke atas Dr Khir yang telah memberi konsesi secara cuai kepada syarikat kroni. Dr Khir sepatutnya merasa malu untuk bercakap soal kepentingan rakyat Selangor dalam apa-apa topik sekalipun, baik air mahupun pasir kerana kecuaiannya telah menghalang hak rakyat Negeri Selangor daripada mendapatkan pekhidmatan air yang terbaik. Akibatnya Kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat hari ini terpaksa berhadapan dengan syarikat konsesi yang tamak dan berani menuntut jumlah yang terlampau jika Kerajaan Negeri mahu mengambilalih pengurusan air Selangor yang bertujuan untuk memberi perkhidmatan air yang baik dengan harga yang berpatutan kepada rakyat. Rakyat Selangor berhak untuk mengetahui cerita sebenar dan bagaimana Dr Khir seharusnya dihalang dari segi moral untuk memberi pandangan terutama dalam hal tatacara mentadbir negeri ini. Oleh itu, Kerajaan Negeri menggesa agar mendeklasifikasikan dokumen perjanjian air dan segala laporan audit yang berkaitan agar rakyat tahu perkara yang sebenar. Kerajaan Persekutuan harus melihat perkara ini dengan serius apabila membincangkannya di dalam mesyuarat kabinet Rabu ini. Kerajaan Negeri juga langsung tidak gentar dengan ugutan saman mahkamah RM1 billion yang dilakukan oleh Syabas walaupun mereka mendapat sokongan Kerajaan Pusat. Sebaliknya, Kerajaan Negeri sentiasa membuka pilihan untuk mengambil tindakan mahkamah ke atas Syabas di atas kegagalannya memenuhi perjanjian konsesi dengan penuh tanggungjawab yang telah mengakibatkan kerugian tidak kurang dari RM8 Billion. Kerajaan Negeri akan terus mengambil langkah-langkah wajar untuk memberi kefahaman kepada rakyat Selangor bagaimana kerajaan terdahulu telah menganiaya rakyat melalui pemberian konsesi kepada syarikat kroni ini. Kita yakin rakyat Selangor menyokong penuh usaha Kerjaan Negeri mempertahankan hak air ini dan sentiasa mendoakan kejayaan kita. FAEKAH BINTI HUSIN |
| Anwar Lawyers Want Malaysian Opposition Leader’s Case Dropped Over Affair Posted: 01 Aug 2010 07:54 PM PDT From Bloomberg Lawyers for Malaysian Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim asked for the sodomy charges against him to be dropped following accusations last week that a member of the prosecution team had an affair with the main witness in the case. "The integrity of the entire prosecution is compromised," Defense lawyer Karpal Singh told judge Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah. Singh said that as a result of the alleged affair, Saiful would have had access or been aware of papers from the investigation and he called for the entire team to resign. Junior deputy public prosecutor Farah Azlina Latif was dropped from the team after allegations that she was romantically linked to Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, Anwar's accuser, surfaced on a news website, the New Straits Times reported on July 28, citing Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail. A letter dated July 26 to Solicitor-General II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden asking him to deny or confirm the allegations is still unanswered, said Anwar's lawyer Sankara Nair. Anwar is currently being tried for sodomy after the 24- year-old former male aide filed a complaint with police in June 2008. Sodomy, defined as "carnal intercourse against the order of nature," carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in Malaysia, even if the act is between two consenting men. He has denounced the charge as a "malicious accusation" that was trumped up" by political opponents. At the start of the trial, Anwar said he planned to subpoena Prime Minister Najib Razak to testify in the trial, accusing the premier and his wife, Rosmah Mansor, of conspiring to frame him. "The trial serves to distract Anwar and the opposition from what they're supposed to be doing," said Ibrahim Suffian, director of the Merdeka Center, an independent research institute near Kuala Lumpur. But "it also undercuts Najib's credibility as being a reformist. The majority feels that it's a political trial" so it lacks credibility, he said. Anwar, a former deputy prime minister who was widely tipped to be the next leader of the country, faced similar allegations in 1998 when he fell out with then-premier Mahathir Mohamad. He was sentenced to nine years in jail for sodomy and a separate corruption charge. He was released from prison in 2004 after the conviction was overturned. Barred from politics until April 2008, Anwar won a seat in his former constituency in Permatang Pauh in August that year. The trial, which began on Feb 3 after a series of delays following the defense team's efforts to get certain documents, was put on hold again as Anwar's lawyers made another attempt to see the prosecution's medical evidence. |
