PKR Says 49,000 Stateless Children Denied Proper Schooling

Posted: 02 Jan 2013 01:15 AM PST

PETALING JAYA: The schooling year for 2013 starts today and yet 49,000 Malaysian children cannot attend school because they lack proper papers which certify them as Malaysian, PKR vice- president N Surendran claimed today.

These children are deemed to be stateless due to the government denying them birth certificates and MyKads.

Surendran said this number is based on census data and population statistics, adding that his claim did not include figures in Sabah and Sarawak, which could be even higher.

He said the National Registration Department's (NRD) statistics showed that in Sabah, there are about 50,000 eligible persons lacking proper documentation.

"It is shocking and inexcusable that children are being denied schooling in Malaysia. The Barisan Nasional government is aware of the problem but has failed to resolve it," he said in a press statement.

He cited two orphans, Hari (12) and Haran (14), who have never been to school because the NRD has refused to issue them with MyKads.

"Until today, their homeless shelter continues to make attempts to enrol them in school," he added.
Surendran highlighted two more cases in Perak and Johor involving nine-year-old Sri Darchatinni and 10-year-old Logeswaran Sarathrajan, who have been turned down repeatedly by the schools because they are officially not Malaysian citizens.

He is appalled at the actions of the government and saddened by the plea of concerned parents which seem to always fall on deaf ears.

"Although these children are Malaysians born here, they are forced to register as foreigners and have to pay additional fees," he said, referring to stateless children who are allowed to enrol in school by kind school administrators.

He added that they face problems registering for exams and are not able to attend university.
Surendran cited the controversial case of 17-year-old, B Reshina, who remains without proper documentation despite a public campaign on her behalf last year.

"These children are citizens by operation of law by virtue of Article 14 of the Federal Constitution. It forbids any child from being rendered stateless in Malaysia," he said.

He called upon Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and the government to resolve this issue quickly without having more children to suffer.

Zuraida Kecewa SYABAS Gagal Selenggara Pam Air

Posted: 02 Jan 2013 01:00 AM PST

PETALING JAYA 2 JAN : Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas) digesa memberi respon segera berhubung masalah ketiadaan bekalan air di beberapa kawasan Selangor.

Ahli Parlimen Ampang, Zuraida Kamaruddin berkata masalah ketiadaan air itu berlaku di kawasan Ampang, Gombak dan Pandan.

Katanya, banyak rungutan yang diterima oleh penduduk yang meminta Syabas membuat penjelasan terperinci berhubung masalah itu yang kini berlarutan selama seminggu.

"Bekalan air terputus sejak minggu lepas iaitu bermula 28 Disember dan pada 31 Disember kembali pulih, bagaimanapun, pada 1 Januari hingga hari ini, bekalan air terputus lagi.

"Apabila dihubungi pihak Syabas memaklumkan bahawa lima buah pam air di Wangsa Maju mengalami kerosakkan dan tidak boleh digunakan," katanya dalam sidang media di Ibu Pejabat PKR.

Zuraida mempersoalkan tindakan Syabas yang tidak membuat penyelenggaraan serta pemeriksaan secara berkala terhadap rumah pam itu sehingga ia rosak serentak.

Jelasnya, ia membuktikan bahawa Syabas sebenarnya tidak mengambilkira perancangan jangka panjang dalam aspek penyelenggaraan, sistem naiktaraf, pemantauan berkala, sistem sokongan yang lebih efektif dan pengurusan berwibawa.

"Jika begini cara Syabas menguruskan bekalan air, seeloknya pengurusan air ini dikembalikan kepada Kerajaan Negeri Selangor. Sepatutnya Syabas memperuntukkan sebahagian pendapatan syarikat untuk kerja baikpulih dan penyelenggaraan," katanya.

Sekitar Lawatan YB Dr Xavier Jayakumar Sempena Program Jelajah Demi Rakyat Bersama DSAI Ke Sabah

Posted: 31 Dec 2012 01:00 AM PST

31 Disember, 2013 Kuala Penyu, Beaufort, Sabah - YB Dr. Xavier Jayakumar Exco Negeri Selangor mempertikaikan apa yang telah dilakukan dengan dana bajet bagi 2013 oleh kerajaan Negeri Sabah berjumlah RM4.09 Bilion sedangkan negeri Selangor sebuah negeri terkaya di Malaysia dengan bajet hanya sebanyak RM1.63 Bilion.

Ujarnya kemana pergi peruntukan tersebut sedangkan Sabah merupakan negeri termiskin di Malaysia?? Katanya lagi rakyat Sabah terus di tipu oleh pemimpin BN negeri contohnya sepanjang perjalanannya untuk menghadiri program di Kuala Penyu, Beufort , beliau melihat banyak gelong-gelong air sedang dipasang disepanjang jalan menjelang piliharaya tetapi dimaklumkan airnya akan disalurkan lima tahun lagi pada PRU lima tahun akan datang dan lepas lima tahun berikutnya baru meter dan paip air dipasang kerumah-rumah rakyat di sesuatu kawasan.

Ini bermakna rakyat Sabah terpaksa menunggu sekurang-kurangnya 3 pilihanraya (15 tahun ) untuk mendapat bekalan air bersih ke rumah mereka.      


Ujarnya lagi dengan bajet RM1.63 Bilion tersebut, Kerajaan Negeri telah berjaya melaksanakan beberapa program 'Merakyatkan Negeri Selangor' (MES) dan mampu memberikan
20 meter padu air percuma kepada rakyatnya disamping program Mesra Usia Emas, Tawas, Anak Masuk Universiti dan sebagainya.

Ini diperjelaskan oleh beliau dalam beberapa siri ceramah yang diadakan di Kuala Penyu, Beufort dan Tuaran dan Sandakan sempena program Jelajah "Demi Rakyat" bersama Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahin ke sabah pada 29 dan 31 Disember baru-baru ini.

Ujarnya lagi setelah 49 tahun Sabah ditadbir oleh BN  dan parti-parti pro BN sebelum-sebelum  ini, rakyat Sabah masih dicengkam kemiskinan walaupun satu ketika dahulu sabah merupakan sebuah negeri yang terkaya dengan hasil buminya.

Rakyat Sabah masih dinafikan kemudahan asas seperti bekalan air bersih, letrik dan jalanraya yang sempurna di bawah pentadbiran UMNO / BN di banyak tempat di seluruh Negeri Sabah.

Ujarnya lagi pimpinan BN baik di peringkat pusat mahupun negeri telah menyapu bersih kekayaan negeri tanpa memperdulikan tahap kehidupan rakyatnya.

Tegasnya lagi rakyat Sabah tiada pilihan lain sebaliknya "Ini Kali lah" untuk mereka menukar pentadbiran kerajaan BN yang terus menindas rakyat dalam PRU ke 13 tidak berapa lama lagi. Ini adalah peluang keemasan bagi rakyat Sabah untuk bangkit merubah sistem pentadbiran sedia ada demi masa depan mereka dan anak-anak mereka.

ROSMAH SHOCKER: Deepak bought 19 pieces of jewellery worth US$ 3.9 MILLION for PM’s WIFE?

Posted: 02 Jan 2013 12:58 AM PST

Malaysia Chronicle

PKR strategic director Rafizi Ramli dropped another bombshell on Wednesday, the latest in a series of expose’s revealing the extent and amount of corruption Prime Minister Najib Razak and his wife have been allegedly involved in.

Waving a sheaf of invoices obtained from a “third-party source”, Rafizi showed how controversial businessman Deepak Jaikishan, through his company Carpet Raya Sdn Bhd bought 19 pieces of exclusive custom-made jewellery, mostly diamond rings, from top Hong Kong jewellers allegedly for Najib’s wife Rosmah Mansor.

“Deepak has to come forward with more details and Rosmah has to come forward to clear the air because the word ‘cincin’ (ring) is a sensitive matter in Malaysia. The invoices so far show that Deepak’s carpet firm paid for the jewellery but Rosmah’s name is not there. Even so, these are very serius allegations made by Deepak and must be investigated,” Rafizi told a press conference on Wednesday.

19 pieces worth RM13mil in just 3 months

Showing invoices from firms including Firestone Co. Ltd and Dehres Ltd, Rafizi – a UK trained auditor – confirmed he had called up the companies to verify the invoices were genuine. He also furnished bank-in and payment slips, pointing out that the spate of purchases spanned a suspiciously short period of just 3 months.

Although, Rosmah’s name is not shown on the documents, her love for fine jewellery and diamonds is legendary. Deepak’s list of jewellery purchased from Hong Kong is stunning and, if his allegations are true, would certainly befit her taste.

The 19 pieces of jewellery consist of:

> 7 diamond rings,

> 4 diamond earrings

> 2 diamond bracelets

> 3 diamond necklaces

> 1 emerald ring

> 1 emerald bracelet and

> 1 ruby bracelet.

“RM13 million in 3 months…That’s a lot of jewellery to buy,” Rafizi said, reiterating that the documents and Deepak’s claims justified a probe by authorities at the very least.

Diamonds ‘bribe’ for land deal?

Rafizi added that the allegations took on a serious note given that Deepak has already accused the first couple for accepting millions for corruptly sanctioning a Ministry of Defence land deal.

Indeed, Deepak – a former close friend of Rosmah’s – had previously complained he had paid Najib’s family “millions” for giving the go-ahead for the land deal which also involves Selangor Umno Women’s chief Raja Ropiaah. However, the news was blacked out by the government-controlled mainstream media.

“In past, we weren’t sure. It was just Deepak’s accusations against Rosmah. But now we have with us solid documents that diamonds were purchased as Deepak had alleged for Rosmah and in connection with the Ministry of Defense deal. On this basis, we have to challenge the MACC to respond,” Rafizi told Malaysia Chronicle at the sidelines of the conference.

According to Rafizi, the documents came from “third-party” sources and not directly from Deepak.

“It may be that Deepak is not happy with Najib and Rosmah or the RM30million he received was too little. This maybe why he says he will continue to reveal more scandals. But that does not make the corruption go away, it doesn’t mean that Najib and Rosmah are less guilty or more guilty. What it means is that there is obviously something very wrong with this land deal and it must be fully investigated.”

Not frivolous allegations

The scandal came to a boil following last week’s disclosure by public-listed Boustead Holdings Bhd, which is 61%-owned by the Armed Forces pension fund, that it would pay RM30million to Deepak and RM130million to Raja Ropiaah to buy over the land.

Instead of being placated, Deepak went on the offensive, vowing he would continue with his ‘revelations’ against Rosmah and to push on with the publication of his tell-all book - The Black Rose.

“The LTAT RM160million deal may be to silence Deepak as we believe but the MACC has refused to act so far. Why is the MACC not acting,” PKR MP for Selayang William Leong, also at the press conference, told reporters.

“And now, there are these documents showing the diamond purchases for Rosmah [as alleged by Deepak]. There is sufficient evidence for the MACC to initiate a probe on veracity of the invoices and then begin a corruption probe against Rosmah, Najib, Raja Ropiaah and Deepak. But why hasn’t it done so? The diamond purchases are not frivolous allegations. The Boustead deal is also not an excuse for the MACC not to investigate. Now is the test for the MACC to use its powers to probe. I call on the MACC chief and the police chief to act without fear of favour.”

William, who is a lawyer by training, said the powers accorded to the MACC under Section 30(1) (a) of the MACC Act were wide and strong. The MACC could order anyone to attend before it to be examined orally; the MACC may order any person to produce any boo, document, record or accounts; the MACC may order any person to furnish a statement in writing on oath or affirmation setting out all such information required by it.

Additionally, a person ordered by the MACC to attend examination is required to disclose all information which is within his or her knowldege or which is available to him or her; he or she must answer any question put forth truthfully and to the best of his or her knowledge and shall not refuse to answer on the grounds it tends to incriminate him or her. Failure to do so would be an offence, said William.

“The Chief Commissioner’s (Abu Kassim Mohamed) continued silence in the light of Deepak’s disclosures and the MACC’s failure to investigate will lead to the MACC’s image being further tarnished,” said William.

“In faling to use its vast array of powers of investigation and prosecution against those who have committed corru[tion without fear of favor shows that the MACC is nothing more than a paper tiger, only taking action against those without political clout or who have fallen out of favor.
