| Najib Fobia Menghadapi Pakatan Rakyat! Posted: 27 Jan 2011 10:27 AM PST Laporan Cable News Network (CNN) yang bertajuk “Saudis discover new funding channels for Taliban, al Qaeda” memperlihatkan ketakutan Dato’ Sri Najib untuk berhadapan Pakatan Rakyat pada Pilihanraya Umum yang akan datang. Laporan CNN yang baru sahaja beredar beberapa jam lalu menyebut antara lainnya, Presiden Umno itu menyatakan rasa tidak puas hatinya kepada Kerajaan Arab Saudi kerana terdapat dua Putera Arab Saudi yang menyokong dan membiyai saya untuk Pilihanraya Umum yang akan datang. Laporan ini menyerlahkan ketakutan serta rekayasa Dato’ Sri Najib untuk menyekat kemaraan Pakatan Rakyat yang setiap hari berusaha membina dokongan rakyat terhadap usaha kami demi menyelamatkan Malaysia dari segala kepincangan yang disebabkan oleh kelemahan mentadbir pimpinan negara serta ketirisan akibat dari rasuah yang semakin membarah. Kehadiran Buku Jingga, sebuah dokumen yang mengandungi hasrat serta saranan Pakatan Rakyat demi menyelamatkan Malaysia dari terus parah akibat kerakusan dan ketidakcekapan pimpinan Umno-BN, memunculkan rasa takut Dato’ Sri Najib. Beliau sedar dokumen tersebut mendobrak ilusi upaya pemulihan yang didendangkan Umno-BN kepada rakyat. Presiden Umno itu pastinya tahu rakyat tidak akan menerima bulat-bulat pengumuman demi pengumuman yang digarap semata-mata memenuhi maksud iklan. Ketakutan ini malah membuat beliau enggan berdebat secara terbuka berkenaan kedudukan ekonomi negara dengan saya. Malah, Perdana Menteri tidak segan silu menyerang saya secara peribadi sedangkan hasrat debat terbuka itu semata-mata mahu menyampaikan maklumat yang tepat kepada rakyat Malaysia. Saya tidaklah terkejut sekiranya Perdana Menteri sanggup ke luar negara, bukan demi menarik pelaburan tapi semata-mata untuk menyekat dan mentohmah saya. Mereka sebenarnya sudah mula merasai angin Perubahan yang bakal melanda. Mereka sedar Rakyat Malaysia sudah mulai mual dengan segala macam kebobrokan. Kepimpinan Umno-BN sebenarnya fobia dengan kemaraan rakyat. ANWAR IBRAHIM |
| Laporan CNN Tidak Mengaitkan Anwar Ibrahim Dengan Kumpulan Pengganas Posted: 27 Jan 2011 10:22 AM PST Laporan CNN yang dipetik The Malaysian Insider ternyata menjelaskan Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim tidak mempunyai sebarang kaitan dengan kumpulan pengganas. Manakala itu kami berpendapat judul The Malaysian Insider iaitu “Muslim group with ties to Anwar accused of terror connections, says CNN” adalah mengelirukan dan tidak tepat. Di bawah adalah rencana CNN tersebut ————————————– Beirut, Lebanon (CNN) — In August last year, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak was not happy with Saudi Arabia. He complained that the Saudis appeared to be funding an opposition candidate, Anwar Ibrahim, in upcoming elections. What’s more, the Malaysian authorities suspected two senior Saudi princes of involvement. The Saudis launched an investigation, and uncovered something very different — and more alarming. A secret report seen by CNN concludes: “There is no evidence any Saudi official ever supported Anwar Ibrahim” and “claims of support from the Saudi royals named in the initial report [names redacted] were found to be without basis.” But the investigation found that hundreds of millions of dollars of Saudi money had been funneled to leading Islamist politicians and political activists overseas. It also found that al Qaeda and the Taliban were still able to use Saudi Arabia for fund-raising, despite numerous measures to choke off those sources of cash. According to a Saudi source who is not authorized to speak publically, “People close to the senior leadership of the Taliban live in Saudi Arabia and send money back” [to the Taliban]. Today he estimates the money reaching al Qaeda is “in the region of tens of thousands of dollars possibly hundreds of thousands.” The nine-page summary of the secret report states that the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political group present in many Muslim countries, was trying “through its many affiliated charities and organizations — often with the funding of unwitting private Saudi citizens — to spread its influence by providing support for candidates in Islamic democracies.” According to the report the payback was simple. “Once in power these candidates are expected to further the Brotherhood’s goals.” Al Qaeda was able to benefit from these secret funding mechanisms, according to the source, because some in the Muslim Brotherhood had “historic sympathies and connections” with members of the terror group — dating back to when Saudi Arabia and the CIA covertly funded the Afghan mujahideen to fight the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. The connections meant that money in Muslim Brotherhood hands was “occasionally” given to al Qaeda, the source said. The report reveals a complex web of Islamic charities and banks — often involved in funding legitimate humanitarian projects — as unwitting facilitators of the illicit transfers. And it says that over several decades “a handful of Saudi and other Arab individuals and organizations” were supporting “the same groups that Arab, U.S. and European governments have long suspected of having close ties to extreme militant organizations that have been accused of supporting terrorist activities around the world.” The problem facing Saudi authorities is huge, the source told CNN. “Eighty-six percent of all Islamic charities are based in Saudi Arabia” making “monitoring all their activities difficult.” The problem was compounded by several other factors, he said. Saudi Arabia “has the world’s fourth largest migrant workforce, 7 million legal workers, 3 million illegal.” Many of them use unregulated Islamic Hawala money transfer banks where a deposit in one country can immediately be picked up in another with no paper trail to trace it. The Hawala networks were identified by the U.S. Treasury Department last year as a significant channel for funding the Taliban and other insurgent groups. Funds are also collected from innocent unsuspecting pilgrims on the Hajj that attracts millions of Muslims to Mecca, Islam’s holiest site every year. The report says Saudi Arabia has made a major effort “to block terrorist financing” that has been “monumental in scope and far reaching in their success.” But it concluded: “Increased diligence and efforts are warranted.” The Saudi source tells CNN that the country still has a fundamental problem which shows how money channeled through the Muslim Brotherhood could evade detection for so long and why al Qaeda can still get funding from the desert Kingdom. “Despite promises since 2002 that Saudi would put in place institutions to thwart funds getting to AQ, nothing has happened to build an oversight agency,” he says. The money being funneled illegally he says is “not the amount of money it was 4 or 5 years ago,” but without a national agency “like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission” to oversee the charities further progress is going to be limited. |
| Akankah Tunisia Menjadi Keping Domino yang Pertama? Posted: 27 Jan 2011 06:54 AM PST Dari Blog Jalan Telawi Awal bulan ini, warga Tunisia telah berjaya menyingkirkan presiden mereka menerusi satu revolusi popular yang pertama dalam sejarah moden negara-negara Arab. Kepantasan revolusi ini merebak semestinya memberikan isyarat jelas kepada negara-negara Muslim lain yang masih lagi tegar mempertahankan kerajaan otokratik dan diktator. Jangka hayat panjang rejim sebegini dijamin menerusi keupayaannya dalam menekan suara-suara bantahan dengan jentera-jentera kerajaan yang dikawal, terutamanya institusi ketenteraan. Apa yang berlaku di Tunisia menzahirkan bahawa bila mana salah satu jentera kerajaan tidak berfungsi – seperti yang berlaku kepada pihak tentera ketika mereka gagal bergerak secara efektif – jentera-jentera lain seperti media dan kehakiman akan turut gagal berfungsi. Apakah ini merupakan detik seperti runtuhnya Tembok Berlin bagi warga Timur Tengah? Apakah negara-negara Arab lain yang mengguna pakai modus operandi yang sama dalam amalan penindasan politik bakal ditumbangkan juga? Pada tahun 2005, dalam satu ucapan di Forum Dunia Amerika Syarikat (AS) – Islam di Doha, saya mengungkapkan bahawa pendemokrasian bakal muncul di Timur Tengah jauh lebih awal dari yang diramalkan, dan saya mengkritik dasar luar AS dengan menyifatkannya sebagai "dasar talam dua muka." Ketika pentadbiran Bush mendukung kebebasan dalam melancarkan perang melawan keganasan, AS tetap teguh bersekutu dengan negara-negara yang secara terang-terangan mengamalkan dasar penindasan untuk mengekang masyarakat awam dan menggagalkan demokrasi. Di bawah pentadbiran Obama, dasar talam dua muka ini masih lagi wujud. Walaupun dalam ucapan bersejarahnya di Kaherah di mana beliau secara khusus memuji wakil kerajaan, pentadbiran Rumah Putih masih terus bekerjasama dengan pelbagai otokrat dari Timur Tengah. Dari perspektif para demokrat di rantau itu, dasar talam dua muka AS ini adalah disebabkan pendemokrasian akan mengakibatkan wujudnya kerajaan yang kurang cenderung menyokong agenda dan tuntutan AS terutamanya pentadbiran yang disifatkan Islamik oleh AS. Merujuk kepada Tunisia, adalah mustahil Zine el Abidine Ben Ali mampu kekal menerajui negara selama 25 tahun tanpa dukungan dari Amerika. Kenyataan bahawa rejim kleptokratik pimpinan beliau akhirnya tumbang merupakan peringatan keras bahawa sesebuah kerajaan yang ditegakkan melalui penindasan ke atas rakyat takkan bertahan lama. Kita telah menyaksikannya di Iran pada tahun 1979 menerusi kejatuhan dramatik Shah, dan juga pada tahun 1998 ketika rakyat Indonesia mengecap nikmat demokrasi secara aman setelah hampir tiga dekad ditadbir di bawah kepimpinan tentera. Masalah yang menghantui dunia Arab tetap mengejutkan: monopoli kekayaan dan kuasa oleh segelintir elit politik, kemerosotan infrastruktur, sistem pendidikan yang jumud, kepincangan dalam perkhidmatan kesihatan serta bebanan pendapatan dalam menghadapi kenaikan harga barang dan kos hidup. Rasuah dan nepotisme menjadi raja di sebalik tiadanya kebertanggungjawaban dan ketelusan. Sememangnya semua ciri tersebut merupakan acuan terbaik sebuah pergolakan politik: peminggiran politik dan ekonomi ke atas rakyat serta perompakan kekayaan negara oleh elit pemerintah. Ianya merupakan satu realiti yang tidak dapat disucikan oleh propaganda – kerana rakyat boleh menyaksikannya di YouTube dan Facebook – walaupun dicuba dengan pelbagai kaedah oleh pemerintah. Pastinya, tiada seorang pun pemimpin Arab yang akan mengakui kebejatan ini, sebaliknya akan menzahirkan kewarakan dan menabur janji untuk terus memperbaiki tahap ekonomi rakyat. Adalah sesuatu yang bodoh bagi kerajaan di rantau itu sekiranya menganggap bahawa apa yang berlaku di Tunisia ini sebagai kes terpencil. Permasalahan ekonomi dan politik yang mencetuskan revolusi merupakan sesuatu yang luar biasa terhadap negara tersebut. Seseorang hanya perlu berjalan di sepanjang kaki lima di Kaherah dan Karachi, atau merayau-rayau di pekan-pekan terpencil di Algeria dan Afghanistan untuk melihat bagaimana sengsaranya kemiskinan dan penindasan sehingga mampu memusnahkan martabat diri seseorang. Pemerintah otokratik yang telah terbiasa dengan kedaulatan mutlak barangkali akan mengubah fikiran mereka. Kebangkitan di Tunisia didorong oleh hasrat untuk mencapai kebebasan dan keadilan, dan bukan kerana ideologi tertentu. Faktor keganasan Islam, yang sering dijadikan kambing hitam oleh para diktator di Timur Tengah untuk menghalalkan kezaliman mereka, perlu dipertimbangkan semula atau dibakulsampahkan terus. AS juga harus mengambil pengajaran tentang mitos bahawa diktator yang sekular merupakan taruhan terbaik dalam melawan golongan Islamis. Revolusi, sama ada yang bersifat sekular atau keagamaan lahir dari keinginan sejagat untuk memartabatkan hak. Persamaan di antara revolusi di Iran dan pergolakan di Tunisia adalah kebangkitan rakyat yang telah sekian lama menderita di bawah pemerintahan yang menindas. Apakah revolusi di Tunisia ini mampu menjana kebangkitan warga Arab dan mengubahnya kepada pembebasan Timur Tengah? Tatkala Tunisia bergerak ke dalam kelompok negara-negara Timur Tengah yang memartabatkan demokrasi seiring dengan negara seperti Turki, namun untuk kebanyakan negara Islam lain, demokrasi masih lagi merupakan sesuatu yang sukar dikecap. Pakatan pembangkang di negara-negara seperti Mesir kini sudah menemui harapan baru menerusi perkembangan yang berlaku di Tunisia. Bantahan-bantahan di Kaherah dan di wilayah-wilayah sekitarnya telah mengubah tanggapan yang selama ini menganggap bahawa bangsa Arab dan umat Islam bersifat pasif dalam politik dan senantiasa cenderung terhadap otoritarianisme. Namun, apakah mereka akan diberi peluang yang adil? Rakyat Palestin pernah memilih pemimpin mereka menerusi pilihan raya namun kuasa Barat telah campurtangan dan mengubah peraturan pilihan raya tersebut. Kenyataan asasnya adalah jelas iaitu AS mesti menghentikan sokongan terhadap pemimpin-pemimpin diktator dan kuku besi sama ada di Timur Tengah, Pakistan atau di Asia Tenggara. Apa yang berlaku di Tunisia sewajarnya diamati sebagai fajar baru bagi demokrasi di dunia Arab dan Islam. *Diterjemahkan oleh Najwan Halimi dari artikel berjudul "Will Tunisia Be the First Domino?" tulisan Anwar Ibrahim yang diterbitkan di laman The Wall Street Journal pada 26 Januari 2011* |
| The Unfinished Malaysian Corruption Story Posted: 26 Jan 2011 11:08 PM PST By Tunku Abdul Aziz I was honoured last month by the Australian Corporate Lawyers Association with an invitation to deliver the International Keynote Address at their 2010 Conference at the Sydney Hilton. Three hundred corporate lawyers participated in the two-day conference, with some 400 attending the ACLA Awards Dinner. I was invited to perform a similar task last year by the association, but to my regret and utter shame, I was forced to cancel, at great cost to my Australian hosts, my appearance in Melbourne, their 2009 conference venue. I found myself a reluctant patient at the Gleneagles Hospital in Kuala Lumpur, with a serious lung infection. The doctor pumped, yes, pumped enough antibiotics into my body to float a destroyer and maybe keep our two valiant submarines happily submerged forever. It transpired that I had picked up a virus in the Netherlands while attending an ethics conference at the Amsterdam Free University. I was very surprised, to say the least, when I received a repeat invitation from ACLA very early this year. I asked the organisers, in jest, if they realised that they were taking a risk as the same thing might happen again. Overcoming Corruption: A Regional Challenge was the title of my address. I assured them that there was really no need to feel concerned about the state of health of corruption in the region. I treated them to a amusing little anecdote about the then newly appointed President of the World Bank, James Wolfensohn, who at a meeting with senior colleagues, said that something had to be done to reduce corruption in borrowing countries in Asia, Africa and South America. He said that many saw the Bank as part of the problem of corruption. His advisers told him that he should not ever again mention "corruption" as this would upset the Bank's many clients. The fact that they were all corrupt, and kleptomaniacs to a man, did not seem to matter. The subject was a taboo in polite society. When Wolfensohn, feeling a little hot under the collar, asked what he should call it then, he was told, quite unabashedly, to refer to it as a 'C' word. The point of this true story is that we have all come a long way since and, in a perverse sort of way, so has corruption. Corruption never sleeps. Malaysia is, ethically speaking, in dire straits. Mahathir founded his administration on corruption, lies and subterfuge. He lied to the nation about the many schemes that were blatantly dishonest. Worse, they were criminal, such as gambling with the EPF money, your money and mine, to corner the international tin market and later the country's reserves to speculate on the currency market, pitting himself in the latter case against George Soros. The country lost billions. Mahathir succeeded in planting and nurturing a culture of impunity and disinformation that, even long after he left office, has continued to flourish. Of course, the man who cut his business teeth minding a stall at the Pekan Rabu in Alor Setar during the Japanese Occupation can explain all this away by saying that whatever he did, it was done in the national interest. We have heard it all before. The lawyers represented, and advised, many large Australian companies. They knew their stuff, kept themselves abreast of the region's economic, social and political developments. There was not an awful lot I could tell them that they did not know already about our appalling standards of public ethics, and the pervasive nature of corrupt practices that both define and circumscribe the way we conduct our business transactions both in and out of the corridors of power. They had heard about our many agencies that provide ample opportunities for the acquisition of personal wealth and abuse of power. What amazed them, though, was the report about some of our frontline immigration officers stashing away millions of dollars of bribe money. Corrupt officials do not enforce the law, and this has led to easy access into the country of drug and human traffickers and other illegals. And our corruption has turned Malaysia into a conduit for human trafficking into Australia. When we add to this the corruption in the ruling elite, the police, the judiciary, the customs and other key institutions, we have a thoroughly ugly picture of a country fuelled and driven by ethically reprehensible behaviour. I warned the Australians that we welcome their investment, but it is only fair to warn them that doing business in Malaysia required more than the usual due diligence because Malaysians were surprisingly adept at turning corruption into a low risk and high return business venture for themselves, "leaving you holding the baby." The system tolerates and encourages it. A lady in the audience asked if there was anything that could be done to take Malaysia back to the pre-Mahathir values. The short answer is yes, there is. It is possible by turfing out the present administration so that a thorough and complete review of policies and procedures could be put in train to ensure relevance, with mechanisms for checks and balances firmly put in place. All institutions will have to justify their existence and those that are no longer relevant will be closed down. Institutions that have been rendered dysfunctional will be strengthened. The deadwood and the corrupt will be encouraged to take early retirement and meritocracy will be the sole criterion used to determine suitability to lead. I am absolutely convinced that transforming the administration is not only desirable, but absolutely essential if this country is to succeed in claiming its right to a seat at the top table, among the clean nations that will shape the future of the world. Change, and complete change, is the answer. Malaysians must decide the kind of future they want. I am anti-national by Najib's latest definition because I speak the truth in a foreign country about Malaysia's unsavoury reputation for massive corruption. I suppose living off corruption as many of our leaders do with panache and impunity is part of being a true Malaysian. — mysinchew.com * This is the personal opinion of the writer or publication.
