| Bersih: Arahan Tertinggi Umno Punca Tindakan Polis Posted: 28 Jun 2011 05:37 AM PDT Video Ihsan Malaysiakini Ketua Umum KEADILAN, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim memberi keterangan di Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah Dang Wangi, berhubung kenyataannya mengenai Perhimpunan Bersih 2.0.
Ketika ditemui pemberita selepas keterangannya diambil, Anwar berkata arahan pimpinan atasan Umno punca polis tidak berlaku profesional dengan menekan pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat berhubung penganjuran perhimpunan 9 Julai ini. "Inilah satu negara di mana keputusan mengadakan pilihan raya bebas dan adil dikecam media milik Umno. "Saya yakin dan percaya Polis tidak akan bertindak menghalang himpunan ini jika tidak mendapat arahan pimpinan atasan Umno," kata Anwar Kata Anwar, ia terbukti apabila polis membisu mengenai tindak tanduk terbaru Pemuda Umno dan Perkasa yang mengancam untuk membakar Ibu Pejabat KEADILAN, malam tadi. Namun pada masa yang sama, kata Anwar, polis menangkap aktivis Bersih dan pimpinan Pakatan rakyat untuk mengganggu hasrat rakyat yang mahu berhimpun secara aman, pada 9 Julai. Menurut Anwar, beliau menjangkakan lebih ramai pemimpin Bersih 2.0 ditahan sebelum perhimpunan itu dianjurkan. Ketua Pembangkang ini juga tidak menolak penggunaan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) digunakan bagi melindungi kepentingan penguasa Umno-BN. "Pemimpin yang korup dan zalim ini akan mengunakan apa sahaja alasan bagi mengekalkan pegangan mereka kepada kuasa," tegas Anwar. Anwar menegaskan bahawa Suruhanjaya Hak Asasi Manusia (Suhakam) turut menyeru pihak berkuasa supaya membenarkan perhimpunan aman itu dijalankan. Tegasnya, orang ramai mempunyai hak berhimpun dan menyuarakan pandangan, seperti mana yang termaktub dalam Perkara 10 (1) (b) Perlembagaan dan Perkara 20(1) Perisytiharan Hak Asasi Manusia Sejagat "Suhakam juga sudah membuat kenyataan bahawa himpunan ini harus diteruskan kerana ia selaras dengan hak kebebasan rakyat untuk berhimpun sebagaimana yang dijamin perlembagaan," katanya. Selain Anwar, dua Naib Presiden KEADILAN, Nurul Izzah Anwar, N Surendran, Ahli Parlimen Subang, Sivarasa Rasiah dan peguam, Fadiah Nadwa Fikri turut diambil keterangan oleh polis hari ini. |
| Prove The RM1m Demand, Johari Tells ‘Datuk T’ Posted: 28 Jun 2011 01:06 AM PDT PKR's Datuk Johari Abdul today demanded that "Datuk T" trio furnish evidence that he had asked them for RM1 million as payment to quit the party, maintaining that he is "completely" innocent of the "untrue" accusations. The Sungai Petani MP also reiterated that he had told the trio that he was convinced that the man in the infamous sex video was not Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. A new video clip emerged on the Internet today to attack Johari's credibility with suggestions he had asked "Datuk T", comprising Datuk Shazryl Eskay Abdullah, former Malacca Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Thamby Chik and Datuk Shuaib Abdul Lazim, for RM1 million. The latest video is a recording of Johari (picture) watching the sex video in a hotel room, accompanied by the trio. The 1.59-minute-long video, posted by pro-Umno blogger "Papagomo" today, carried a blog posting which quoted Shazryl as alleging that Johari was convinced that Anwar was the man in the sex clip, and that Johari had also asked for RM1 million for himself and RM1 million each for five other MPs who would "leave PKR" after viewing the video. The posting also quoted Shazryl as saying that Johari had demanded RM100,000 in "advanced payment", and that the PKR man had been paid half the amount. The latest video clip however contains no evidence to suggest he had asked for money. "Prove it that I took money, which bank account was it? Was it in cash or cheque? I cannot keep such a huge amount at home. "I have never received anything, nor have I offered to leave the party in return for payment. I do not need the money," Johari told The Malaysian Insider. The PKR MP stressed that he stood by what he said last week, saying that his self-made video "documentary" dissecting minute details had raised serious doubts about the sex video's authenticity. "They can say whatever they want. No one can testify to what I said in the (hotel) room that day… I don't want to waste (my) time (with them)," explained Johari. Titled "Johari Abdul admits the sex video actor is Anwar Ibrahim" (Johari Abdul akui bahawa pelaku dalam video seks ialah Anwar Ibrahim), the video highlights and replays a comment made by the PKR leader when watching the video. The PKR MP is seen in this clip as being very friendly with the three men, laughing and joking with them several times during the sex video screening. "Of course I am friendly to them, I know them personally. Shuaib is my uncle, Rahim was a former Umno supreme council member and Eskay is from Sungai Petani… I did not know that day that they were going to show a sex video before I watched the video myself. "I have to respect my uncle even if I do not agree with what he did. If I see Shuaib again, I would kiss his hand, he is my elder," explained the PKR man. A magistrate's court in Kuala Lumpur was told last week that US authorities had identified the man in the controversial sex video screened by "Datuk T" as Anwar. The "Datuk" T trio were fined RM5,500 after pleading guilty to their involvement in the screening of the video on March 21. |
| Buku Rakam Ketakutan Zaman Dr M Posted: 27 Jun 2011 10:23 PM PDT Bukan sahaja dunia politik bergelora apabila Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim melancarkan Reformasi pada 1998, tetapi pergolakan antara kaum intelektual dan budayawan juga yang tidak kurang hebatnya. Bagaimanapun, dalam tempoh lima tahun kemudiannya – yang dilabelkan sebagai zaman getir dan pahit – golongan inilah yang dilihat sebagai ‘tidak berguna’, sekali gus mengumpul pelbagai gelaran negatif. Dalam Minda Tertawan: Intelektual, Rausyanfikir dan Kuasa, penulis Raja Ahmad Aminullah mengambil tindakan berani merekodkan semua gelaran itu, termasuklah pengampu, ‘pahlawan kesiangan’, laih, terkembiri dan terpalit dengan ‘sindrom cium tangan’. “Sebenarnya terlalu ramai golongan intelektual apatah lagi yang disebut ‘era reformasi’ 1998-2003 memilih apa yang dianggap mereka sebagai jalan selamat tapi sebenarnya merupakan suatu penzaliman terhadap ilmu yang mereka miliki,” tulisan dalam bab “Ruang Ketiga” itu dipetik. Raja Ahmmad – yang terkenal sebagai aktivis budaya dan pemilik galeri seni rupa terkenal di ibu negara – merumuskan, walaupun wujud gelombang subterranean (bawah tanah) melalui muzik, teater dan penulisan, golongan itu dipinggirkan di arus perdana. Malah, tambahnya, bagi sebahagian ahli politik, ia dianggap sebagai “bahan bakar” dan “ramuan” apabila diperlukan. Dalam buku setebal 127 halaman itu, Raja Ahmad bagaimanapun nampak segan-segan menyebut secara langsung pihak yang dikritianya. Oleh yang demikian, membaca koleksi esei-esei budaya ini menyebabkan kita sering terjumpa pihak yang hanya dirujuk sebagai “bekas menteri itu”, “seorang teman” dan “penceramah agama dan motivasi itu”. Fenomena ‘jangan petik saya’ Dengan gaya santai, Raja Ahmad banyak mengungkapkan kebisuan golongan budayawan dan intelektual melalui kisah dan anekdot ringkas bagi menggambarkan budaya takut pada masa itu. Antaranya, beliau merakamkan sifat kritikal golongan itu yang gundah dengan perkembangan politik semasa tetapi ironisnya sering pula mengakhiri perbualannya dengan kata-kata “don’t quote me” (jangan petik saya). Bagi Raja Ahmad, kumpulan itu lebih bertindak sebagai “pengumpul rungutan” daripada membentuk dasar, menulis buku atau mengimarahkan wacana. Beliau sampai kepada kesimpulan itu apabila menghadiri sesi perbincangan semasa Pesta Buku Antarangsa Kuala Lumpur pada tahun 2005 yang didominasi pesara penjawat awam. Ketika membincangkan tentang relevansi karya sastera klasik Melayu, bekas pegawai kerajaan yang hadir mengambil peluang “menyenaraikan rungutan” terhadap orang politik, jabatan awam, agensi budaya dan orang muda. “Soalan yang saya rasa mendesak untuk keluar daripada halkum saya ialah: apakah yang telah mereka lakukan sewaktu menjawat jabatan-jabatan kanan di agensi-agensi dan jabatan-jabatan tersebut,” Raja Ahmad dipetik sebagai berkata. Bagaimanapun, di sebalik kisah-kisah negatif itu, Raja Ahmad juga tidak lupa menyanjung tokoh akademik, antaranya seorang bekas naib canselor Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) yang dikatakan dituntut letak jawatan kerana menyindir menteri. Profesor sindir menteri disingkir Semuanya hanya gara-gara profesor itu Dr Zohadie Barjae dikatakan membaca pantun Sasterawan Negara Usman Awang dalam majlis makan malam universiti yang berbunyi: “Siakap senohong, gelama ikan duri, bercakap bohong, lama-lama jadi menteri”. Bagaimanapun, membicarakan pergolakan antara 1998 hingga 2003, tidak lengkap tanpa menyentuh tentang Anwar dan perdana menteri pada waktu itu Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Ini kerana, perseteruan dua tokoh penting ini dilihat sebagai pencorak utama kepada keadaan politik pada hari ini. Dalam buku ini, Dr Mahathir nampaknya dirakam sebagai antara penyumbang ke arah wujudnya “budaya takut” yang berpanjangan dalam masyarakat kita. “Selepas berakhir zaman tersebut, sebahagian mereka masih lagi termangu-mangu mengenangkan apa yang berlaku sekitar tahun 1998-2003 tersebut,” tulisan dalam bab “Merentas Waktu” itu dipetik. Malah, Anwar yang dikatakan menjadi mangsa “tindakan aib” pula digambarkan mempunyai wilayah pengaruh yang tersendiri, bermula dar zaman gerakan pelajar sekitar tahun 1970-an sehingga jadi “pembantu setia” Dr mahathir sehingga tahun-tahun 90-an. “…pengaruh (Anwar) tetap ada walau tidak semestinya sama dengan pernyataan-pernyataan dan kenyataan politiknya,” tulis Raja Ahmad lagi. Sama ada Anwar membuat comeback, Raja Ahmad tidak mampu memberikan jawapan pasti. Bagaimanapun, katanya, terserah kepada pada masa, keupayaan diri sendiri serta kesediaan kawan dan penyokongnya untuk terus percaya pada perjuangannya |
| Dakwa BERSIH Guling Kerajaan, Kabinet Najib Mula Gentar Posted: 27 Jun 2011 08:10 PM PDT Bahang perhimpunan Bersih 2.0 yang bakal berlangsung 9 Julai nanti semakin dirasai oleh kerajaan Umno-Barisan Nasional (BN) hingga wujud tanggapan bahawa rakyat berhasrat menggulingkan kerajaan menerusi demostrasi jalanan. Ini berikutan hampir 81 orang aktivis- aktivis Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) dan ahli badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) yang dilaporkan kini telah ditangkap dengan pelbagai alasan kurang munasabah. Sehubungan dengan itu Naib Presiden PKR, Nurul Izzah Anwar menyifatkan kerajaan pimpinan Perdana Menteri Najib Razak merasakan seolah-olah ditentang oleh rakyat walhal isu yang disuarakan semata- mata bersabit tuntutan perubahan dalam sistem demokrasi negara. “Saya fikir pihak media juga perlu menilai justifikasi penahanan dan saya juga ada risalah yang dianggap membahaya oleh kerajaan memperincikan tuntutan Bersih 2.0. Antaranya saya fikir membahaya untuk BN iaitu untuk mengukuhkan institusi awam, menghentikan rasuah dan politik kotor. “Jadi sekali lagi perkara ini langsung tidak boleh diterima akal,” ujar beliau di lobi parlimen pagi tadi. Tiga puluh orang aktivis PSM termasuk ahli parlimen Sungai Siput, Dr Micheal Jayakumar yang ditahan polis ketika mengedarkan risalah “Udahlah… Bersaralah” di Pulau Pinang semalam didakwa atas alasan berhasrat untuk menentang Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan menghidupkan fahaman komunis. Mereka kini masih ditahan di bawah Seksyen 112 Kanun Keseksaan. Nurul Izzah kemudian berkata, kerajaan Umno-BN khuatir akan maklumat yang dimuatkan di dalam risalah “Udahlah… Bersaralah” berhubung indeks persepsi rasuah termasuk indeks demokrasi dunia sampai ke pengetahuan rakyat. Jelas beliau, sekiranya rakyat terdedah akan kepincangan yang berlaku dalam sistem demokrasi negara maka reputasi kerajaan Umno-BN akan terjejas lebih-lebih lagi menjelang Pilihan Raya Umum akan datang. Sehubungan dengan itu Nurul Izzah bersama ahli parlimen Pakatan Rakyat yang lain mendesak agar polis membebaskan aktivis-aktivis yang ditahan dengan kadar segera kerana ianya bertentangan dengan prinsip demokrasi negara. |
| BN vs Bersih And The Biggest Joke In Town Posted: 27 Jun 2011 08:04 PM PDT Do you know what the biggest joke in town is? It is Khairy getting a death threat. Guess, who sent it? Now everyone is getting a death threat. If you join the rally there is also a threat of arrest. Police has announced that there are many ways to thwart the rally. Already, they have arrested a number of PSM supporters at the toll booth, who were expected to be in Penang for the road-show. Fancy, the handsome Khairy, who is the darling of UMNO Youth getting a death threat. A ladies-man no doubt, who will expect the Wanita to swoon at his smile, and even men get a kick when he speaks about getting a death threat. But it is true, and he has lodged a police report. Just days ago he has renewed his vow to carry on with the march, even though it was not endorsed by the Home Ministry, which got Hishammuddin foaming at the mouth. But this time, he has hinted albeit ever so slightly that UMNO Youth will infiltrate the Bersih march as supporters instead. What are his true intentions, no one knows. What a budak (youth) this one is, and can he be trusted? But Bersih 2.0 welcomes everyone, whether friend or foe. The magic of Bersih 2.0 will transform everyone in the true spirit of cleanliness, fairness and democracy. Any one attending the march will be blessed in their effort to transform Malaysia into a democracy. The Government is dead set against the March for one reason only. Many of them will crash in the election. Many will even lose their deposits. The election will be the door to their timely exit. The Government still thinks that the people owe them a living. They are willing to plot and scheme, hoodwink the people, even spending millions to buy votes so that they can survive the election and continue to lord over us. They are not going to surrender to the will of the people. That is why they are so against Bersih 2.0. BN implosion at hand Why give all the excuses that a one-day rally will threaten national security? Why say that it will affect Tourism? Why say that traders and taxi drivers are going to lose millions in revenue? Why say that it will affect Malay unity? First and foremost, the Malays are not united is because UMNO refuses to accept the true path of Islam. Instead of looking out for the Malays it continues to condemn PAS, which is undeniably an Islamist Party. It also condemns Malay DAP members as window dressers for the DAP. It condemns PKR as a dirty party. And yet they talk about Malay and Muslim unity. Why can't the Government just come out and tell the truth that BN is going to implode if Free and Fair Elections are held? Why employ gangsters like Perkasa to rile the nation and promote racial conflicts? Why call on BN sympathizers to condemn the Rally? The excuses are so lame that it makes the people feel that our government is being helmed by a group of morons. Why condemn Ambiga as an Islamic threat? Why picture Anwar as a sex maniac? Najib Razak's latest comment that the Nation should decide for themselves whether it was Anwar in the Sex Video is so lame!! How can Malaysians continue to accept Najib as our National Leader? It is so unprofessional of him, to meddle in such trivial matters. Frankly, he is a big disappointment to Malaysians who looked up to him and his expensive so-called 1Malaysia campaign. Since his inception as Prime Minister, nothing has gone right in this country. The Executive Branches of the Government have grown bolder in their effort to contain the people. They have given up their independence to be subservient to a 'banana government'. As the country's economy slides further down into a 'critical mess', the clowns in the government are still trying to hoodwink the public with cheap magic tricks. Dipping their hands into the last remaining financial bodies and institutions like Khazanah, EPF, Tabung Haji, Felda, the wealth of the country is slowly diminishing. One day it will be all gone, before they finally hand over the reins of power to the people. There is always a morning after As July 9th approaches, there will be many more controversies, as the government forces a last ditch effort to break the will of the people. There will be more deadly threats, arrests and the threatened use of the ISA to detain Bersih leaders. Ops Lalang 2 will hover menacingly over the nation. There may even be Emergency Rule declared to contain and control the movement of the people. If there, then perhaps, it is what Malaysia needs. Najib and BN will be signing the own political death warrants. Pakatan need not do much after that. Just imagine the economic impact. Already investors are terrified, who would want to build a factory or contribute to Najib and Rosmah’s funding for their overseas trips then? One thing is for certain. The Bersih 2.0 Democracy March is perceived as a grave threat to Barisan Nasional. Or more specifically, the UMNO elite. They are not about to stand by and let it happen. They think the march will open up a Pandora’s Box that will swallow up BN and themselves. All their future dreams will be turned into a bad nightmare. They simply cannot accept the fact that they cannot lord over us anymore. Their serfdom is disappearing and they will once again be ordinary men, just like us. So, now that you know, please make a stand. Malaysians, don’t lose courage at this stage. Soldier on, the outcome won’t be as bad as you fear although the new dawn may not come immediately. But maybe a short and fairly tranquil BN twilight before the new sun dawns bright and cheerful |
