[PRESS STATEMENT] LFL: N.Surendran’s Sedition Charges Jeopardises Anwar’s Final Appeal

LFL: N.Surendran's Sedition Charges Jeopardises Anwar's Final Appeal

LFL views with serious concern the two sedition charges against N. Surendran for statements made in his capacity as Anwar Ibrahim's lawyer. The first charge against Surendran was for mere criticism of the Court of Appeal's judgment convicting Anwar; whereas the second charge was for comments relating to the case made after attending a case management hearing on behalf of Anwar at the Federal Court.

The alleged seditious statements made were in fact the crux of Anwar Ibrahim's legal defence at the Federal Court appeal. It is shocking and unacceptable for a lawyer to be charged for statements made in relation to his client's case, and even more so for statements which also form the basis of the client's legal defence.

Needless to say, these charges have enormous ramifications on the independence of the Bar and the right of lawyers to defend their clients and to act without fear or favour. The public will be adversely affected if lawyers begin to fear criminal charges for speaking out on behalf of their clients.

The right to a fair trial crucially includes allowing lawyers to carry out their duties without threat or intimidation from the authorities. In this case, Anwar Ibrahim's right to a fair hearing in the impending Federal Court appeal on 28 and 29 October 2014 has been seriously jeopardised by the sedition charges which has had a serious impact upon Anwar's entire legal team.

It is unacceptable for the Federal Court to proceed with Anwar's appeal with these sedition charges hanging over the head of one of his key lawyers for the appeal.

LFL urges the Attorney-General to urgently review and drop the charges against Surendran. In addition, the AG should also similarly review and drop all charges against all other persons charged under the Sedition Act and work towards the eventual repeal of this draconian law as promised repeatedly by the Prime Minister.

[PRESS STATEMENT] On Najib Razak’s GST Claims

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 12:16 AM PDT

PRESS STATEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
12 SEPT 2014

Prime Minister Najib Razak's claim yesterday that I had agreed to the imposition of GST back in 1992 is both disingenuous and misleading.

Even then in Parliament I had made it explicitly clear that the GST must be carried out in a "transparent and efficient" manner and by that I had stated that certain pre-requisites must be met before implementation.

These included proper governance, transparency, no leakages and wastage, and safeguards against corrupt practices. I had also emphasized that the GST should start at a low level.

These pre-conditions not being fulfilled, that was why the GST was never implemented during my watch as Finance Minister.

Tuduhan Akta Hasutan satu penindasan, kata bekas peguam negara

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:57 PM PDT

TMI

Pertuduhan hasutan yang bertalu-talu terhadap wakil rakyat pembangkang dan individu lain dilihat sebagai “penindasan” dan bukannya pendakwaan, kata bekas Peguam Negara Tan Sri Abu Talib Othman mengkritik tindakan Jabatan Peguam Negara untuk mengkaji semula kes selepas pertuduhan dikenakan.

Abu Talib berkata, luar biasa bagi Peguam Negara Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail yang juga pendakwa raya mendakwa dulu, kemudiannya membuat keputusan untuk kajian semula.

“Kita mesti berlaku adil dengan melakukan pendakwaan dan bukannya penindasan,” kata Abu Talib kepada The Malaysian Insider dalam satu temuramah khas di Kuala Lumpur semalam.

Abu Talib, yang menjadi peguam negara pada 1980 hingga 1993, berkata demikian ketika mengulas kenyataan Gani pada Selasa pihaknya mengkaji kes terhadap pensyarah undang-undang Universiti Malaya Profesor Madya Dr Azmi Sharom dan beberapa lagi yang dihadapkan dengan tuduhan mengikut Akta Hasutan 1948.

Gani berkata, ia adalah amalan biasa bagi pihak pendakwaan dan beliau akan menjalankan tugasnya dengan penuh tanggungjawab, adil, tepat dan telus tanpa pengaruh mana-mana pihak.

“Mendakwa seseorang adalah perkara yang sangat serius kerana  ia memberi kesan kepada kredibiliti, kedudukan dan maruah tertuduh.

“Ia akan menyebabkan tertuduh dalam terganggu emosi. Malah, jika pertuduhan ditarik balik kemudian pun, kerosakan sudah berlaku," katanya.

Abu Talib berkata, sepanjang tempoh perkhidmatannya, beliau hanya memberikan persetujuan kepada pendakwaan sekiranya terdapat 90% bukti untuk melakukan sabitan.

Katanya, pendakwaan dibuat berdasarkan undang-undang, keadilan dan pertimbangan kepentingan awam tanpa dipengaruhi pihak ketiga.

Beliau berkata, kenyataan Gani untuk mengkaji semula pertuduhan hanya memberi gambaran keputusan mengenakan dakwaan terhadap tertuduh dibuat tanpa pertimbangan teliti dan serius terhadap semua fakta yang ada.

“Adakah beliau (Gani) mengakui tidak adil dan telus apabila melakukan dakwaan, dan itu sebabnya mengapa beliau  mengkaji semula kes sekarang? Mungkin beliau perlu beri penjelasan,” katanya.

Abu Talib berkata, bukan tugas pihak pendakwa mendapatkan sabitan tetapi memastikan keadilan terhadap pertuduhan dan mangsa.

Beliau berkata, Dr Azmi hanya mengulas mengenai undang-undang atau menjelaskan undang-undang.

“Malangnya, makna menghasut sangat luas. Di sinilah peguam negara perlu menggunakan kebijaksanaan beliau dalam keputusannya untuk melakukan pendakwaan,” katanya sambil menambah pada zamannya hanya terdapat satu atau dua kes hasutan bagi pendakwaan.

Abu Talib, yang enggan menyebut sebarang nama berkata, terdapat personaliti yang membuat kenyataan hasutan kaum dan agama yang lebih serius tetapi tidak dikenakan dakwaan.

“Beliau tidak diperlukan untuk memberi penerangan tetapi ia amat ideal bagi meningkatkan keyakinan dalam soal pentadbiran keadilan dan jawatannya,” kata Abu Taib merujuk kepada Gani.

Pada Rabu, Majlis Peguam Malaysia menyeru Gani menarik balik dakwaan hasutan terhadap Azmi, pemimpin pembangkang dan aktivis.

Presidennya Christopher Leong berkata Gani pada pembukaan Undang-Undang Tahun 2013 menyatakan “setiap orang perlu mengemukakan pandangannya tanpa penalti dan perlu ada satu semangat toleransi di seluruh rakyat”.

Majlis peguam akan mengadakan mesyuarat agung luar biasa pada 19 September bagi membincangkan resolusi berkenaan Akta Hasutan 1948.

Mahasiswa daripada university awam di seluruh negara juga menyertai hartal (protes) yang dianjurkan Persatuan Mahasiswa Universiti Malaya sebagai solidariti terhadap Azmi.

Pada 2 September, Azmi didakwa menghasut berdasarkan kenyataannya dalam satu artikel bertajuk “Ambil laluan krisis Perak bagi mengakhir kebuntuan Selangor, kata Pakatan”, yang diterbitkan dalam sebuah portal berita pada 14 Ogos.

Ahli politik Sabah David Orok juga didakwa mengikut undang-undang yang sama pada 3 September kerana didakwa menghina Islam dan Nabi Muhammad menerusi Facebook dua bulan lalu.

Sejak awal bulan ini beberapa ahli politik pembangkang termasuk Ahli Parlimen Padang Serai N Surendran (PKR), Ahli Parlimen Shah Alam dan Ahli Jawatankuasa Pusat PAS Khalid Samad serta wakil rakyat Seri Delima RSN Rayer (DAP) didakwa mengikut Akta Hasutan.

Ahli Parlimen Seputeh Teresa Kok (DAP), Ahli Parlimen Batu Tian Chua (PKR) dan aktivis Haris Ibrahim juga berdepan dengan perbicaraan kerana dakwaan menghasut.

Jika sabit kesalahan, mereka boleh dikenakan denda sehingga RM5,000 atau penjara sehingga tiga tahun, atau kedua-duanya.

Wakil rakyat berisiko kehilangan jawatan mereka jika mahkamah mengenakan denda RM2,000 atau lebih, atau sekurang-kurangnya setahun penjara.

Anwar denies supporting GST during time as finance minister

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:56 PM PDT

TMI

The goods and services tax (GST) system must be executed transparently and efficiently, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said in denying the prime minister's claim that he had agreed to impose the GST while he was finance minister more than two decades ago.

The opposition leader said Datuk Seri Najib Razak's claim was "disingenuous and misleading", and stressed that the tax system was never implemented under his watch.

Anwar said he had made it clear in Parliament then that the proposed tax system must be carried out in a transparent and efficient manner, and that certain prerequisites had to be met before its implementation.

“These included proper governance, transparency, no leakage and wastage, and safeguards against corrupt practices and I had also emphasised that the GST should start at a low level.

"These pre-conditions have not been fulfilled and that was why the GST was never implemented during my watch as finance minister,” Anwar said in a statement today.

Anwar’s response comes in the wake of Najib’s speech when closing a briefing session on the GST two days ago, where the prime minister had said that he was not the first finance minister to push the GST.

“The first finance minister who said that the government wanted to impose GST in his budget speech in 1992 was Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim,” Najib had said on Wednesday.

Najib had also said that the GST was not new and had been announced by three previous finance ministers, including Tun Daim Zainuddin and Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

Najib added that the tax system slated to be implemented in April next year would not burden Malaysians.

Aktivis Ali Abd Jalil lebih rela untuk terus meringkuk di lokap polis daripada ditahan semula selepas diikat jamin. Peguamnya, Fadilah Md Fazil berkata Ali bimbang akan didakwa sekali lagi selepas ini berhubung kesalahan melibatkan Akta Hasutan sekiranya diikat jamin. "Tadi bila kita jumpa dia dan tanya apa yang dia mahu, dia minta supaya beri masa sehingga Isnin untuk ikat jamin,” katanya. Beliau berjaya menemui Ali di lokap polis, di bangunan kompleks mahkamah di Shah Alam hari ini. Siswa di sebuah institut pengajian tinggi swasta itu dibawa ke mahkamah hari ini untuk proses jaminan namun berkeras untuk terus berada di lokap, katanya. "Lagipun dia tak mahu diikat jamin kerana keadaan dia dalam penjara Sungai Buloh, OK. Dia gembira,” kata Fadilah. Tambahnya, Ali juga tidak menerima sebarang gangguan di penjara itu. “Fizikal dia pun OK. Dia kata dia dapat banyak pengalaman dan belajar banyak perkara dalam penjara," katanya pada kita... Beliau kali pertama dihadapkan di Mahkamah Sesyen Selayang pada hari Isnin lalu atas tuduhan menerbitkan penerbitan berbaur hasutan mengikut Seksyen 4(1)(c) Akta Hasutan 1948. Tuduhan tersebut adalah berhubung tulisan di laman Facebook bernama “Regimen Anarki” yang didakwa dimiliki Ali. Beliau dibebaskan dengan ikat jamin RM5,000 selepas mengaku tidak bersalah atas tuduhan tersebut. Bagaimanapun, pemuda itu kemudiannya ditahan semula sebaik diikat jamin pada hari sama. Penahanan itu berhubung satu tulisan di satu lagi laman Facebook, didakwa miliknya sendiri, yang didakwa menghina sultan Selangor.

Leaked examination papers, an indicator that cheating is perfectly fine?

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 02:03 AM PDT

TMI

Leaked test papers for a Year 6 examination must be a new low in Malaysia.

In times past, including a case last year, the leaks were either for SPM or STPM examinations but now, even primary school children are not spared such an incident.

Yesterday, the Education Ministry moved the Science paper test to September 30 because of a leak that was provided through social media. Today, the ministry said those who sat the English paper will also have to re-sit the paper as it was also leaked.

Are there any more papers that have been leaked for the Year 6 examination that tests nearly 500,000 across Malaysia?

And is this another indicator of Malaysia, where the moral compass has gone awry and where parents of even the young don’t understand between right and wrong?

Why would anyone want to buy examination answers for their 12-year-old child? Is passing an examination more important than the lessons learnt in school?

Are we teaching children that it is perfectly fine to cheat at examinations just so that they can get ahead of their peers in life? Won’t this be the new culture that they will take with them through their school life?

Cheating at any level is wrong, be it for a primary school examination or even at secondary and tertiary level. What more in life.

This year’s leaks tell us that some people don’t think so. They think they can get away with it because it is easily done and it is just an examination for 12-year-olds.

They are wrong.

It is this kind of cheating that leads to corruption, one of Malaysia’s biggest banes and one reason why there is so little trust in the authorities these days. But this kind of cheating will create a bigger trust deficit.

In future, no one will trust any school or university certificate or degree because cheating and examination paper leaks have spread to the most basic level of examinations – the UPSR.

Is it too late to nip this in the bud if it has reached the UPSR? Do we still know right from wrong? Can we go back to a time where at least examination papers are taken seriously and not just a commodity that can be bought or sold?

The nub of the matter is simple. It is not just Putrajaya that must take action but all of us, because our future generation depends on us sticking to the straight and narrow.

‘Anwar takes the difficult but principled stand’

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 12:50 AM PDT

Malaysiakini

YOURSAY 'It was good of Anwar to apologise and state the fact of the matter.'

‘Sorry your highness, I was following constitution’

Kim Quek: Through PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim's statement, one can see the contrast between Anwar and PM Najib Razak.

The former has stood up bravely to uphold the supremacy of the constitution and constitutional monarchy, while the latter has twisted PKR's stand to present one nominee as an act of betrayal of the sultan, the Malays and Islam.

Such slander is hypocrisy of the highest order, as Umno-BN has always nominated only one candidate for the posts of prime minister, menteri besar and chief minister since independence in 1957, as rightly pointed out by Anwar.

As prime minister, Najib's despicable conduct has put Malaysians to shame. Now that the apology is over, Pakatan must stay on its course to nominate PKR president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, for the sake of preserving our system of parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy.

Hank Marvin: Given the circumstances Anwar was absolutely right. Now let us listen to what Umno has to say.

But as of now, the Malay party has been hypocritical. Two decades ago, it was Umno who went around asking the power to appoint MB to be abolished. Now they are upholding it as they know only through the palace they can hold on to power.

Hbasill: It is great that DSAI (Anwar) has stood his ground and politely told the sultan that the state constitution is supreme.

However, the real challenge for me is how DSAI is going to handle PAS because his mishandling may force a big number of PKR supporters to move their allegiance to DAP or BN.

DSAI is in muddy waters as he himself must be angry with the latest twist to the MB saga because of PAS. The opposition supporters are watching.

As I see it PAS must be axed for the non-Malay supporters to continue supporting PKR. Let's see what unfolds next.

NewMalaysia: Yes, this is what we want to see in true political courage to stand firm to protect the interest of the people and the constitution.

Despite all the adversities, the people can see clearly that PKR and DAP tried their best to uphold the constitution and the spirit of democracy.

PKR and DAP are bound to name only one candidate because only Wan Azizah command the majority support from the state assemblypersons, any other candidate will automatically be disqualified.

If the sultan insists on someone clearly without the majority support, then there’s no need for Khalid Ibrahim to resign.

Kyrie Eleison: Anwar, you could not have said it better. Unless this country starts to respect the constitution and the rule of law, we will descend into anarchy very soon. This is what I really feared most.

Malaccan: Anwar has taken the difficult but principled stand and is the leader the country desperately needs. And his wife took the matured position to be the better Muslim and politician.

Even among royalty and religious leaders, despite their privileged lives and high stations, many have failed to live up to what this couple have sacrificed and their leadership.

If history is written fairly, they will be counted among the great sons and daughters this nation has birthed and that God has created.

Speaking Sense: If what Anwar says is correct, the question must now be asked: why do the palace advisers suddenly find the need to ask for more than one name this time when it is already very clear that the nominating Pakatan Rakyat coalition has a clear majority in the House?

And another question: was Najib hypocritical or lying when he accused PKR of disrespect for the sultan?

Malaysian 53: It was good of Anwar to apologise and state the fact of the matter. There is nothing more to explain because Anwar’s few sentences says it all.

It is either HRH is wrongly advised or has not been properly briefed of the consequences of a stalemate and the possibility of the ‘selected’ MB losing the vote of confidence in the House.

Many of us dread to see the embarrassment that will befall the royal house on such a situation.

Proarte: Based on what Anwar has revealed, BN looks very hypocritical and sadly it also appears as though the Selangor monarchy is dancing to the tune of Umno.

The sultan must be seen to be neutral in a constitutional monarchy, otherwise the raison d’être of the institution is negated.

Furthermore, Selangorians may begin to question the relevance of the monarchy. This would be the regrettable outcome if Umno’s carries out an unconstitutional and undemocratic attempt to influence the sultan.

Anonymous #57883242: Like it or not, Anwar is the only politician in Malaysia that has true courage to say what needs to be said.

MalaysiaMyhome: This is a defining moment in the history of our nation. I respect the sultan, but I respect the constitution too. Anwar and gang are just upholding the constitution and that’s why they have my support.

LAPORAN POLISkami AMK Shah Alam ingin membuat laporan atas tindakan menggugat hak ketua Pembangkang parlimen Malaysia, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (DSAI) untuk mendapatkan satu perbicaraan yang adil dalam rayuan beliau di Mahkamah Persekutuan No: 05-46-03/2014 (W), 05-47-03/2014 (W) dan 05-48-03/2014 (W) (Mahkamah Rayuan Jenayah No W-05-19-01/2012) (Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur Perbicaraan Jenayah No 45-9-2009) Datuk Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim v Pendakwa Raya. Rayuan ini adalah ditetapkan untuk bicara pada 28 & 29 Oktober 2014. Pada 18 & 19 Ogos peguambela DSAI, N.Surendran telah ditahan dan dituduh  di bawah Seksyen 4 (1)(c) Akta Hasutan semata-mata kerana beliau mengeluarkan kenyataan yang berkaitan dengan pembelaan DSAI di Mahkamah Persekutuan dan merupakan hujah-hujah sama yang bakal dikemukakan di Mahkamah Persekutuan ketika pendengaran nanti. Kenyataan ini adalah dalam bentuk kritikan terhadap Penghakiman Mahkamah Rayuan yang mensabitkan DSAI. Pada hari-hari sebelum beliau dikenakan tuduhan, laporan-laporan  polis telah dibuat oleh pihak seteru DSAI dari UMNO di seluruh negara secara terancang terhadap peguam DSAI tersebut. Jelas tindakan terhadap peguam DSAI ini adalah berniat jahat untuk membawa tekanan dan intimidasi terhadap pasukan peguam pembela DSAI dan secara langsung menghalang DSAI dari mendapatkan satu pembelaan serta pendengaran yang sempurna di Mahkamah Persekutuan nanti. Tindakan membawa tuduhan di bawah Akta Hasutan tersebut terhadap peguam bela DSAi ini adalah satu penghinaan Mahkamah Persekutuan dan merupakan satu gangguan serius terhadap prosiding mahkamah dan sistem keadilan Negara. Kami menuntut supaya tindakan menghalang DSAI daripada mendapat perbicaraan adil dihentikan segera dan  tidak ada apa-apa intimidasi seterusnya terhadap mana-mana peguambela DSAI. Kami memohon satu siasatan yang bebas dan segera dilakukan atas perkara yang serius ini yang melibatkan integriti system keadilan Negara dan tindakan diambil tanpa mengira pangkat atau jawatan mana-mana pihak yang terlibat. Sekian laporan kami.

[KENYATAAN MEDIA] Mendukung Prinsip Keluhuran Perlembagaan Serta Menjunjung Sistem Raja Berperlembagaan dan Demokrasi Berparlimen

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 03:13 AM PDT

KENYATAAN MEDIA
UNTUK EDARAN SEGERA
9 SEPTEMBER 2014

Parti Keadilan Rakyat (KEADILAN) dan Pakatan Rakyat tegak atas prinsip keluhuran perlembagaan serta menjunjung sistem raja berperlembagaan dan demokrasi berparlimen. Ini jelas dalam perlembagaan KEADILAN dan kenyataan muafakat bersama pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat.

Dato' Seri Najib telah bersama dengan pimpinan UMNO sejak 1983 dan 1993 takkala menyokong pindaan perlembagaan bagi menjelaskan bidang kuasa Duli Yang Maha Mulia Yang Di-Pertuan Agong selaras dengan prinsip raja berperlembagaan.

Kenyataan Dato' Seri Najib semalam adalah keterlaluan kerana menafikan pendirian KEADILAN yang tuntas menjunjung kedaulatan undang-undang dan sistem raja berperlembagaan.

Dato' Seri Najib juga sedia maklum bahawa dalam sejarah pemerintahan UMNO sejak negara merdeka 1957, UMNO dan Perikatan, dan kini Barisan Nasional hanya mengemukakan satu nama Ahli Dewan Negeri atau Ahli Parlimen untuk jawatan Ketua Menteri, Menteri Besar, atau Perdana Menteri.

Selaku Perdana Menteri, Dato Seri Najib sewajarnya jujur dengan pendirian parti beliau dan Kerajaan Barisan Nasional dan tidak menyerang KEADILAN kerana mematuhi amalan yang sama.

Merujuk kepada kenyataan media istana Selangor yang ditandatangani oleh Setiausaha Sulit Kepada Duli Yang Maha Mulia Tuanku Sultan semalam, pihak kami akan terus merafak sembah dan memohon keampunan Duli Yang Maha Mulia Tuanku Sultan seandainya keputusan kami mematuhi Undang-undang Tubuh Negeri Selangor dan amalan ("convention") sejak 1957 menyebabkan terguris perasaan Duli Yang Maha Mulia Tuanku Sultan.

KEADILAN mengulangi pendirian untuk menjunjung kedaulatan Raja-raja Melayu, dan institusi raja berperlembagaan. Ini juga telah ditegaskan dalam warkah-warkah Dato' Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Presiden KEADILAN kepada Duli Yang Maha Mulia Tuanku Sultan Selangor.

Rohingyas living in 21st century Concentration Camps

Posted: 07 Sep 2014 07:41 AM PDT

Atrocities continue to be committed against Myanmar's Muslim Rohingya who appear to be doomed for destruction if the international community persists in overlooking their plight.

Through decades of systematic discrimination worse than even the apartheid system, hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas are treated worse than animals and confined in 21st century concentration camps.

They are denied their right of citizenship, cut off from the mainstream of economic activity, living in abject poverty, and deprived of schools and medical care.

The Myanmar government continues to commit the genocide of minority Muslims in Buddhist-majority Myanmar with impunity.

For those who remain sceptical, here's NYT journalist Nicholas Kristof's report on the plight of the Rohingyas that would turn our stomachs:

Wan Azizah can succeed with team effort, says Guan Eng

Posted: 07 Sep 2014 12:40 AM PDT

TMI

DAP is standing by Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail's nomination as Selangor Menteri Besar even as its coalition partner, PAS, continued to dismiss her as unqualified and incapable for the post.

Its secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said the PKR president and Kajang assembly member would be able to succeed with team effort, as she is already proven to be academically superior and politically experienced.

Lim, who is Penang chief minister, said Wan Azizah should be given a chance to perform, in view of her record in excelling in the field of medicine and in leading the PKR since 1999.

"When I first took over as chief minister, I also had no experience," Lim said. "But in the last election (in 2013), under my leadership, we won by a bigger mandate than in 2008."

He said although he did not have much experience, he had a team that showed that the Pakatan Rakyat government could deliver.

"So I think it is basically a team effort," he said today, when asked to comment on PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang's assertion that Dr Wan Azizah was neither capable nor qualified to be menteri besar.

Lim said Dr Wan Azizah was the first Malaysian to be awarded a gold medal in obstetrics and gynaecology before graduating as an ophthalmologist at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.

"In terms of intelligence she is far superior to many of us," he said.

Noting her qualification as a specialist in a medical field, he said: "I am sure she is also equally qualified for other positions. I don't see why she is qualified to be an ophthalmologist but not qualified for other posts."

He added that the DAP supported her also because of her leadership of PKR since 1999 when she became party president of the party (then called KeAdilan) after her husband, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who has been the de facto head of the party, was imprisoned.

Lim was speaking to reporters after officiating at a charity event at the Silver Jubilee Home for the Aged in Penang.

Hadi had told a dialogue session for PAS members in Terengganu on Friday that he was not keen for Wan Azizah to be menteri besar, not because she is a woman, but because she was neither qualified nor capable.

He said a leader of a state had to fulfil many criteria, including the ability to answer in legislative houses like the Parliament and the state assembly.

Asked about a PAS faction called Parti Ummah Sejahtera Malaysia (PasMa) and its aim of ensuring that PAS stayed within Pakatan Rakyat, Lim said this was an internal issue for PAS.

"I think it is not appropriate for me to make any comment, to avoid us being construed as interfering in the internal affairs of PAS," he said, adding that PAS was facing an upcoming assembly amidst turbulence within its ranks.

Sesuatu meragukan bila pemimpin pembangkang dapat tempat di waktu perdana TV3

Sangat jarang pemimpin pembangkang dapat muncul dalam berita televisyen di waktu perdana di Malaysia.

Ini kerana RTM terikat sebagai agen penyiaran kerajaan yang lurus bendul dan sempit manakala stesen televisyen swasta TV3 dimiliki oleh syarikat Umno iaitu Media Prima Bhd.

Ahli politik pembangkang yang dialu-alukan oleh akhbar arus perdana juga amat sedikit kerana sebab yang sama.

Jika mana-mana ahli politik pembangkang mendapat 15 minit waktu utama itu, biasanya selepas mereka berpaling tadah kepada Barisan Nasional (BN) atau pandangan mereka merosakkan pakatan mereka sendiri.

Senarai mereka yang mendapat masa perdana dan di halaman utama akhbar sebelum ini adalah bekas ahli politik PAS Selangor Datuk Dr Hassan Ali, bekas Ahli Parlimen PKR Datuk Zulkifli Noordin, Datuk Seri Zahrain Mohamed dan Wee Choo Keong.

Jadi apa yang membuatkan Presiden PAS Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang mendapat 15 minit waktu perdana di Buletin Utama TV3 malam tadi?

Adakah akhbar milik Umno Utusan Malaysia menyokong pendirian beliau mengenai kebuntuan menteri besar Selangor dalam edisi Ahad hari ini? Mesti ada sebab mengapa Hadi menjadi kesayangan media BN.

Lagipun inilah ahli politik yang dicerca di waktu perdana sebelum ini kerana Amanat Haji Hadi yang dikeluarkan kira-kira 30 tahun yang lalu.

Beliau diserang habis-habisan kerana berusaha melaksanakan undang-undang jenayah Islam hudud.

Tetapi sekarang, Hadi mendapat ruang masa perdana untuk menjelaskan pendirian beliau mengenai kebuntuan pelantikan menteri besar Selangor.

Dan Utusan Malaysia membuat keputusan pandangan beliau adalah betul: Presiden PKR Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail bukan calon yang sesuai untuk jawatan tertinggi itu.

Sudah tentu Hadi harus mengambil peluang untuk menjelaskan sikapnya. Ini sebuah negara demokrasi.

Tetapi beliau perlu ingat semua yang disahkan oleh Utusan atau mendapat tempat di waktu perdana berita televisyen biasanya berakhir dengan tentangan daripada rakan mereka sendiri.

Media pro-kerajaan hanya mengambil pendapat anda jika ia menyokong agenda mereka. Dan anda akan digugurkan bak kentang panas apabila anda mengatakan sesuatu yang sukar bagi perjuangan mereka.

Tetapi Hadi sedar semua ini. Beliau bukan budak baru dalam  politik. Melainkan jika beliau fikir boleh mainkan media pro-kerajaan seperti yang dilakukan sekutunya di Selangor, beliau perlu tahu beliau bekerja dengan sekutunya daripada Pakatan Rakyat (PR).

Itu tidak wajar untuk sekutu anda sendiri. Bukan sesuatu yang kita jangka daripada pemimpin parti Islam yang keputusannya berdasarkan kepada tradisi suci Al-Quran dan sunnah Nabi Muhammad.

Lagipun, Hadi hanya seorang ahli politik dan seperti kebanyakan mereka, jika tidak semua ahli politik pun, beliau percaya kepentingan yang kekal, bukan kawan yang kekal.

Something’s rotten when opposition leaders get prime-time focus

Posted: 06 Sep 2014 10:02 PM PDT

Very few opposition leaders get to appear on prime-time news in Malaysia. Mainly because the state broadcaster RTM sticks to the straight and narrow government news while private broadcaster TV3 is owned by Umno-linked Media Prima Bhd.

And very few opposition politicians get endorsed by mainstream newspapers for exactly the same reasons, too.

If any opposition politicians get their 15 minutes of fame, it is usually after they have defected to Barisan Nasional (BN) or their views damage their own coalition.

The list of those who get the prime-time and pages treatment is not that long and includes former Selangor PAS politician Datuk Dr Hassan Ali, former MPs Datuk Zulkifli Noordin, Datuk Seri Zahrain Mohamed and Wee Choo Keong.

So what can one make of PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang who had his 15 minutes of fame on TV3′s prime-time news Buletin Utama?

Or that the Umno newspaper Utusan Malaysia has endorsed his stance on the Selangor menteri besar impasse in its Sunday edition today? There must be a reason Hadi has become the darling of the BN media.

After all, this is the politician who has been vilified on prime-time news for his Amanat Haji Hadi issued some 30 years ago. He has been demonised for seeking to implement Islamic criminal law hudud.

But now, Hadi gets prime-time space to explain his stand on the Selangor MB impasse.

And Utusan Malaysia has decided that his views are right about PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail is not the right candidate for the top job.

Of course, Hadi should take the opportunity to explain himself. It is a democracy. But he must remember all those who have been endorsed by Utusan or on prime-time television news usually end up opposite their own colleagues.

That the pro-government media only takes your opinion if its supportive of their agenda. That you can be dropped like a hot potato once you say something inconvenient to their cause.

But Hadi knows this. He is no political greenhorn.

Unless he thinks he can outfox the pro-government media as he has done his allies in the Selangor MB impasse, he should know that he is working with the kryptonite of the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) coalition.

And that is nothing short of being evil to your own allies. Not something one would expect from the leader of an Islamist party, whose decisions are based on the Quranic traditions of Prophet Muhammad.

Then again, Hadi is just a politician and like most if not all politicians, he believes in permanent interests, not permanent friends.
