Bekas IGP: Bukti memadai untuk siasat semula SD Bala Posted: 08 Apr 2013 11:16 AM PDT Bekas ketua polis negara Tan Sri Musa Hassan berkata terdapat bukti yang mencukupi untuk membuka semula siasatan ke atas kes pengakuan berkanun kedua mendiang P Balasubramaniam. Beliau berkata demikian ketika diminta mengulas sama ada dakwaan oleh peguam Americk Sidhu bahawa peguam kanan Tan Sri Cecil Abraham bertanggungjawab ke atas pengakuan berkanun kedua Balasubramaniam mencukupi untuk membolehkan polis membuka semula siasatan. Malaysiakni sebelum ini meminta penjelasan Cecil namun peguam kanan itu enggan mengulas. Pengakuan kedua Balasubramaniam mendakwa SD pertama, yang mengaitkan pengerusi BN Datuk Seri Najib Razak dengan pembunuhan wanita Mongolia Altantuya Shaariibuu, dibuat dalam keadaan tertekan. Ketua polis negara Tan Sri Ismail Omar sebelum ini menegaskan polis tidak akan membua semula siasatan kes berkenaan sekiranya ia hanya “perkara lama yang diungkap dengan cara baru”, melainkan terdapat bukti baru. “Saya tidak tahu apa dia maksudkan dengan ‘perkara lama diungkap dengan cara baru’. Tapi kenapa tidak (buka semula siasatan)? Ada bukti baru,” katanya. |

Malaysia’s Najib Unveils Poll Manifesto Similar to Anwar’s Posted: 08 Apr 2013 04:08 AM PDT Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak pledged to fight corruption, bring down living costs and build a pan-Borneo expressway if his coalition retains power in elections due in a matter of weeks. These were all policies mooted by opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim in his manifesto released six weeks earlier than the one Najib's governing National Front unveiled at a weekend rally in Kuala Lumpur. The Election Commission meets this week to set a date for polls after the prime minister dissolved parliament on April 3. "They had the benefit of time to study our manifesto over the past month and incorporate some elements," Ong Kian Ming, a political analyst at Kuala Lumpur's UCSI University and an opposition election strategist, said by phone. "Unlike us, there's nothing in there about electoral reform. That's something a lot of people are concerned about." In the lead-up to the polls, Najib has boosted government spending, distributed a second round of cash handouts to the poor, and raised salaries of civil servants, police and the military. He also delayed implementing a goods-and-services tax and froze plans to wind back state subsidies on essential items. The manifesto offers increased handouts for the poor, and lowered car costs and broadband fees. "My sincere apologies to all Malaysians if we have done anything wrong," the prime minister said in a speech at the rally, broadcast live on national television. "At the end of the day, we are ordinary humans. If we are given a strong mandate, I can assure you that we will do better in the next five years." Housing, Health Najib promised more specialist graft courts and greater public disclosure of government contracts if the National Front is allowed to extend its 55 years of unbroken rule. Among the pledges are more affordable housing, and improved health care and transportation, including a high-speed rail link between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. "A lot of the ideas have already been mooted by the opposition, like lowering car prices, cheaper Internet and a pan-Borneo highway," James Chin, professor of political science at the Malaysian campus of Australia's Monash University, said by phone yesterday. "Najib talked mostly about things that are popular with the people. He didn't give details on macro- economic issues like implementing GST and cutting state subsidies." To stay in power, Najib, 59, must see off a resurgent opposition led by Anwar, a former deputy prime minister. Brokerages including Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Citigroup Inc. expect an even closer election result than in 2008, when the National Front retained power by its narrowest margin since Malaysia's independence from Britain in 1957. The risk of the ruling coalition losing seats in the election has helped make the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index Southeast Asia's worst-performing benchmark in 2013. The stock gauge is down 0.3 percent this year, compared with a 14 percent gain in the leading index in Indonesia and a 7 percent increase in Thailand's benchmark gauge. Najib, who inherited a country in recession when he replaced Abdullah Ahmad Badawi as leader mid-term in 2009, wants a mandate to complete his economic and government reforms started less than three years ago. He's focusing on his track record in boosting investment and improving incomes as he seeks a popular mandate for the first time. Malaysia's economy has shown resilience in the face of the global slowdown, expanding by more than 4 percent for each of the 13 quarters to the end of 2012, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Private investment has tripled since Najib began his economic-transformation program in September 2010, rising 25 percent last year to 139.5 billion ringgit ($46 billion), according to government data. Almost half of the voters surveyed in a poll by the Merdeka Center for Opinion Research said fighting graft is a more pressing issue for the next government than taming inflation or boosting foreign investment. The survey of 1,021 voters was conducted from Jan. 23 to Feb. 6 on the country's peninsula and had a margin of error of 3.07 percent. While Malaysia moved to 54th from 60th place among 176 countries in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index last year, it was ranked last for bribery among 30 nations surveyed. About 3,000 executives from 30 countries were asked whether they'd lost a contract in the past year because competitors had paid a bribe. In Malaysia, 50 percent said yes, the Berlin-based advocacy group said. The National Front is "committed to doing much more to combat the scourge" of corruption, according to its manifesto, which emphasized its experience in government and urged voters not to "gamble away" the future. Anwar's three-party People's Alliance opposition coalition comprises his own multiethnic People's Justice Party, the Chinese-majority Democratic Action Party, and the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, which wants to expand Shariah law. The opposition currently holds 75 of 222 parliamentary seats, while Najib's alliance has 137, according to the Malaysian parliament website. Anwar predicted a minimum 10-seat majority for his alliance in a March 8 interview. Najib's manifesto said Malaysia would seek a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council to play a greater role in regional peace, promoting moderate Islam and inter-faith harmony. A National Front government would support the establishment of a Palestinian state, and humanitarian efforts in Gaza, the West Bank, southern Thailand and Mindanao in the Philippines, it said. |
KENYATAAN MEDIA: Maklumbalas Dan Analisa Manifesto Barisan Nasional Posted: 07 Apr 2013 11:27 PM PDT Apabila politik nasional lebih banyak berkisar kepada persoalan dan perdebatan dasar (bukannya politik perkauman, kebencian dan cacian peribadi), rakyat berpeluang untuk menilai sendiri perbandingan program ekonomi dan kerajaan yang ditawarkan oleh parti-parti politik. Justeru, saya menyambut baik peluncuran Manifesto Barisan Nasional dan ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk membentangkan analisa perbandingan di antara Manifesto Rakyat dan Manifesto Barisan Nasional.

Annual BR1M Cost Will Balloon to RM11b in Public Fund Posted: 07 Apr 2013 11:24 PM PDT Barisan Nasional's (BN) pledge to pay out the People's 1 Malaysia Aid (BR1M) annually would cost taxpayers as much as RM11 billion a year by 2023, and not solve the woes facing lower-income households, PKR said today. It added that the pledge to make the popular cash handout a permanent policy also signalled a failure to understand the underlying problems affecting Malaysia's economy. "This approach is not that smart because it will lead to big spending without changing the economic structure when this RM7 billion to RM11 billion spent yearly can be used to reduce prices, abolish tolls and reduce car prices," party strategy director Rafizi Ramli (picture) told reporters here. Rafizi said estimates show that BN's aim to increase BR1M to RM1,200 from the current RM500 would cost RM7.2 billion in the first year of its distribution and RM11 billion by 2023. "It is not going to solve their problems or elevate their economic standing," said Rafizi in an immediate response to BN's elections manifesto unveiled on Saturday. |
