| Ganesan Singkir Nizar Dari DUN Perak Posted: 03 Aug 2010 12:55 AM PDT Dari Malaysiakini Menteri Besar Perak yang disingkirkan, Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin hari ini digantung dari persidangan dewan undangan negeri Perak selepas mengengkari arahan speaker, Datuk R Ganesan supaya duduk. NONEKetika membahaskan rang undang-undang usul perbekalan tambahan RM80 juta, masa yang diperuntukkan untuk Nizar selama 15 minit telah berakhir. Namun beliau terus berucap dalam nada yang kuat apabila pembesar suaranya dipadamkan. Sebelum itu, Nizar terus tidak mempedulikan arahan Ganesan agar beliau dirujuk sebagai 'Yang Yang Dipertua.' Nizar: Terima kasih Datuk Ganesan… Ganesan: Saya telah beri peluang untuk bahas. Tetapi jika ini berterusan saya akan ambil tindakan. Meskipun nama saya Ganesan, di Dewan ini, jawatan saya adalah Tuan Yang Dipertua. Nizar: Terima kasih Datuk Ganesan… Ganesan: Saya beri awak peluang terakhir! Nizar: Terima kasih Yang berhormat…[meneruskan ucapan] Dalam ucapannya, Nizar mendakwa RM50,000 digunakan oleh Zambry untuk diagihkan kepada cawangan MCA di Perak. Wang rakyat katanya, digunakan untuk tujuan parti. Rakannya dari DAP, Nga Kor Ming (Pantai Remis) yang marah dengan pendedahan itu kemudian melabelkan Zambry sebagai 'pelacur politik' yang kemudiannya sekali lagi menggamatkan dewan. NONENizar juga melemparkan tuduhan 'pengecut' ke atas BN kerana tidak membenarkan media menjalankan tugas kerana mematikan talian internet. Apabila masa 15 minit yang diperuntukkan berakhir, pembesar suara Nizar dipadamkan, namun beliau terus berucap dengan meninggikan suaranya. Khusaisi Abdul Talib (BN-Slim River) kemudian mula berucap dan dewan menyaksikan dua ADUN berucap pada masa yang sama. Nizar tidak menghiraukan arahan Ganesan supaya duduk dan tindakan itu memaksa beliau diarahkan keluar dewan. NONENamun Nizar enggan berbuat demikian. Bentara hanya berdiri di sebelahnya dan tidak cuba mengeluarkan menteri besar yang disingkirkan itu secara paksa. ADUN Manong, Datuk Ramly Zahari kemudian mencadangkan Nizar yang juga ADUN Pasir Panjang, digantung sebagai ahli Dewan dan cadangan itu disokong semua ADUN BN. Selepas pertikaman lidah kira-kira 30 minit, Nizar dan ADUN Pakatan Rakyat yang lain mengambil keputusan meninggalkan dewan. Sebelum itu, Menteri Besar Perak, Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir sempat membentang usul perbekalan tambahan RM80 juta daripada kumpulan wang disatukan untuk perkhidmatan bagi bacaan pertama. Usul itu disokong ADUN Sg Rapat, Datuk Hamidah Osman. |
| Affair Claim Could Disrupt Sodomy Trial Posted: 03 Aug 2010 12:21 AM PDT From New York Times Lawyers for the Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim moved on Monday to have sodomy charges against him dismissed, citing an allegation of a romantic link between a prosecutor and Mr. Anwar's accuser. Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, center, leaving court in Kuala Lumpur on Monday. The prosecutor, Farah Azlina Latif, was removed from the case last week after a Web site asserted that she was having an affair with Saiful Bukhari Azlan, a former aide to Mr. Anwar who says he sodomized him. The attorney general told news outlets that Ms. Farah was removed from the prosecution team to protect its credibility with the public. The prosecution, in a letter to the defense, has said it was unable to verify the accusations of an affair. At a hearing on Monday in the Kuala Lumpur High Court, where Mr. Anwar has been on trial since February, defense lawyers said the integrity of the prosecution had been compromised. "This just supports our contention from the beginning that this is all a farce, a politically motivated trial and trumped-up charges," Mr. Anwar said afterward. Arguments on the motion were scheduled for next week. On Monday, Mr. Anwar filed a complaint with the police against Mr. Saiful and Ms. Farah. Karpal Singh, Mr. Anwar's lead attorney, said that the defense was concerned that Ms. Farah might have passed court documents to Mr. Saiful, and that he wanted the police to investigate whether the two had violated the Official Secrets Act. A prosecutor, Yusof Zainal Abiden, on Monday characterized the Web site's accusation as "bare allegations" with no substance. The prosecution has said that Ms. Farah was junior member of the team with no access to confidential information. Mr. Anwar, a former deputy prime minister, was convicted of sodomy and abuse of power in 1998. Although that sodomy conviction was later overturned, he spent six years in prison. He has repeatedly said the new charges were another attempt to end his political career after the opposition made gains in the 2008 elections. |
| DPP’s Removal: Public Has Right To Know The Truth Posted: 03 Aug 2010 12:18 AM PDT From Malaysiakini In another place where justice is beyond political interference, a case like Sodomy 1would never have existed let alone a serial Sodomy 2. That Anwar Ibrahim is seen as a victim of political conspiracy can't be denied when even certain foreign governments still keep a close eye on the court proceedings and openly express their reservations and concerns. The latest scandal involving the key witness and protagonist in Sodomy 2 has resulted in the dismissal of the DPP engaged in the case. Romantic liaisons that develop in professional situations are known to happen but in the case of Sodomy 2 where the future of a high-profile defendant like Anwar Ibrahim is at stake, any hint of a professionally and ethically illicit affair has to be taken seriously. If RPK had not blown the whistle, it is open to conjecture what might have happened. In fact what has already happened should worry the public, and especially the defendant. As for RPK perhaps it is time we take him more seriously especially those who are responsible for upholding justice. It seems unfair to turn a patriot into a fugitive especially one who is only trying to help his country become a better place. The public has a right to know what happened in the DPP's dismissal and the defence counsel is right in calling a mistrial. There is no need for the cloak-and-dagger stuff because justice thrives in the light of transparency. The truth never hurt a good cause and the innocent. The public has a right to know the truth. There is high public interest in Sodomy 2. It is not only the defendant on trial but the whole country, in particular the judiciary. There have been some disturbing aspects in the case such as the accuser seeing a police officer and the country's PM before making a police report. This lends the case to the criticism it may be politically contaminated. Then there is the troubling refusal of the court to grant the defendant and his legal team access to crucial statements made by the accuser to the police. It seems to be a fundamental breach of Natural Justice 101 to deprive someone accused of a crime not to be able to know what he is being accused of and the alleged relevant circumstances. Even in Islam you need four witnesses. Justice must not only be done but be seen to be done is a well known maxim. And it is here that the incumbent administration is seen to falter. Its unwillingness to make the judiciary a highly respected and independent public institution by pursuing every avenue to reform it results in the decision of the country's Chief Justice, Zaki Azmi, not to pursue the findings of the CJ Lingam video royal inquiry. Whither justice? His reasoning that the CJ Lingam scandal dealt with the past and he is more concerned about the future does leave many Malaysians in total bewilderment. Is this the new guiding principle of responding to the findings of royal commissions? Should we close all the police stations because every reported crime is about the past? If everything that happened in the past should be forgotten life will be so much more expedient, more than dropping the C J Lingam scandal. If judge-fixing has been found to be a problem, those who have allegedly contaminated the judiciary must not be allowed to go scot free. Is that not why cruel dictators are still held to account for their crimes against humanity many many years after their evil deeds? It is utter nonsense to introduce a 'past principle' to close the Lingam video scandal because the judiciary exists to deal with the past. Justice is about judging past deeds good or bad, and making a proper judgement. What sort of precedent is being set? The role of a royal commission is to establish the truth and facilitate the bringing to account of those who are culpable and exonerating the innocent. We fail those in the commission who laboured to give us the truth by not building on their efforts. The country is often criticised for its disturbing practice of selective prosecution, of dropping cases that should be pursued and pursuing cases that should be dropped. The Lingam video scandal is classic proof. According to the Malaysiakini report, 'The royal commission of inquiry set up to probe the scandal subsequently recommended that former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad and five others, including Lingam, be investigated under various laws for their covert role in the appointment of judges.' In the public interest and for justice's sake if not the reputation of the judiciary itself, why can't the proceedings of the royal commission be allowed to reach a natural and credible conclusion? Its abortion will only perpetuate the suspicions and allegations and undermine the judiciary's integrity and credibility. Yet we see Anwar Ibrahim relentlessly hounded in Sodomy 2, another classic proof of this disturbing practice of selective prosecution, usually motivated by politics. Surely there has to be greater respect for a royal commission and the rule of law which demands that justice must not only be done but be seen to be done. When you have certain people who seem above the law then justice is like another Penan rape victim who is left to cry in silent anguish. When there are lingering doubts as to the purity of the judiciary and the contamination evidenced by the Lingam royal commission inquiry findings, it is utter nonsense to simply brush the commission's recommendations aside. In the extreme, in this case which has widespread public interest, the CJ's decision can be construed as a contempt for justice, even a disrespect for the function of a royal commission, an affront to every justice-minded Malaysian and I hope the learned judge, who should be passionate about justice and set the pace, will change his mind. Since 1988 and after a public government apology and financial compensation, the ghost of political interference in the judiciary still haunts the corridors of justice that only a proper follow through with the royal commission's recommendations may exorcise. What happened in the past to the country's top judge is sufficient grounds for further investigations. If justice has not been done to the past how can anyone talk about the future. What future? |
| Anwar Buat Laporan Polis, Teliti Undang-Undang Syariah Posted: 02 Aug 2010 09:12 PM PDT Dari TV Selangor Ketua Pembangkang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim hari ini membuat laporan polis bagi menggesa polis menjalankan siasatan sama ada seorang daripada pasukan pendakwaan, Farah Azlina Latif menyalah guna kuasa yang menjejaskan perbicaraan kes. Beliau bimbang, besar kemungkinan Saiful Bukhari Azlan menerima akses kepada maklumat sulit berkaitan perbicaraan kes konspirasi terhadapnya, meliputi keterangan saksi lain mahupun keterangan beliau sendiri. Anwar membuat laporan polis terhadap Farah Azlina dan Mohd Saiful di bit polis Kompleks Mahkamah Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur sebaik sahaja perbicaraan ditangguh kira-kira jam 11 pagi. Dalam laporan itu, Anwar menggesa polis menyegerakan siasatan terhadap Farah Azlina dan Mohd Saiful yang didakwa menyalahi Akta Rahsia Rasmi 1972. "Saya buat laporan polis menegaskan isu yang sama dokumen keterangan saksi dan semua keterangan rahsia saya percaya telah disampaikan kepada Saiful. Ini mencemarkan kedudukan pendakwaan. Sebab itu peguam kemuka permohonan untuk menggugurkan pertuduhan yang dianggap tidak ikut takrif kebebasan dan pendakwaan yang telus. Saya telah bagi keterangan pada polis supaya segerakan siasatan," katanya. Anwar, Ketua Umum Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) juga sedang meneliti kemungkinan untuk mengheret Saiful mengikut akta undang- undang syariah lantaran hubungan sulit mereka. "Peguam syariah, Kamar Ainiah sedang teliti," kata beliau. |
