Batu Putih : Bodohnya kita...

Labels: Batu Putih, BN, Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR, May 17 (theStarOnline) - It was the Cabinet that did not approve the use of indelible ink during the March 8 election, Election Commission (EC) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman disclosed Saturday.

He said he was told to take responsibility for agreeing to it.

"The Cabinet gave two very strong reasons why they did not agree to it – security and the law - Article 119, concerning the basic right for everyone to vote, and I agreed with them," he said.

It’s not easy being EC chairperson. I took the rap over the years,” Abdul Rashid said, adding that the commission wanted a review of election regulations.

He said that the commission should have a bigger control over the electoral process under Article 113 to Article 120 of the Federal Constitution.

“This would give us power to control abuses. One important aspect that has to be looked into immediately is the registration of electors registration,” Abdul Rashid said after launching the National Seminar on Elections 2008; Democracy at Work.

He said another power lacking in the EC was the power to take court action.

“When people say the wrong things we should be able to sue. A lot of scandalous things have been thrown about, including from the media, the mainstream or alternative media.

“They must be made to pay for the things they say because most of the things they have been saying are not true” he said.

Ku Li: PAS rule means living under syariah law - The Malaysian Insider

KUALA LUMPUR, May 15 — Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah reminded Malaysians that if PAS comes to power it would insist on the country becoming an Islamic state even though it is now part of the Opposition alliance that has control of five states.

The Umno division chief of Gua Musang, Kelantan was quoted in a recent wide-ranging interview with the Sin Chiew daily, a popular mass circulation Chinese language newspaper.

“If PAS were in power, their ideal would be to replace the Constitution with the Al-Quran, and to rule according to syariah law. They might even remove the rulers. There would be no rulers as we know them under syariah law, only a single spiritual head,” said the Kelantan prince also widely known as Ku Li.

He said Umno's ideology is very different from that of PAS and that is the reason it is constantly attacked by PAS. However, Umno will never turn the country into an Islamic state. “Under the Constitution, Islam is the official religion of the federation while non-Muslims can profess and practise their own faith freely.”

He pointed out that recently there were some people who had raised the issue of an Islamic state again. These people, Ku Li said, felt that some Umno leaders' stand about the Islamic state issue was not clear.

“Actually Umno has never thought of implementing the Islamic state because we adhere to the Federal Constitution. Nothing in the Umno constitution says that we will ever intend to change this country into an Islamic state.

“If we had wanted to, we would have done it when we were negotiating for Independence, or when we negotiated for the Federation of Malaya agreement in 1948. There was no MCA, MIC at that point. It was just Umno who negotiated with the British together with the rulers in 1948, when they decided not to proceed with the concept of Malayan Union. They don't have to wait till now.

“We have syariah law, but it is only used to govern the Muslims in personal matters. We are not going to encroach on the personal lives of others. Non-Muslims have the right to freedom of religion that is protected by the Constitution.”

On the current state of the party, Ku Li felt that today's Umno members and the leadership are not willing to make sacrifices. “They just want to please their leaders to retain the benefits they now enjoy. If Umno does not make a move to change soon, it will lose everything it has.”

He pointed out, “Yes, it's good to obey the leaders. But you have to make sure that the leaders are doing the right thing. It is incumbent on us to correct the leaders if we suspect that they are doing something wrong, which is harmful or disastrous for our community, for our country.”

He said there is no struggle without sacrifice. If not for the fact that Datuk Onn (Jaafar) and his team had been willing to undergo personal sacrifice to move ahead to form Umno and demolish the Malayan Union, there would not be a Malaysia today.

“We are the beneficiaries of their struggle. If we don't continue with this kind of spirit, what we have today will be gone. Our future generation, our children, our grandchildren will not benefit from the rights that we enjoy today. This is my message to Umno.”

Kes-kes kematian di PLKN terus dipinggir dan diketepikan oleh BN.

Thursday May 15, 2008 (theStar) - An opposition MP expressed dissatisfaction that emergency motions tabled to discuss the death of a national service trainee and the Internal Security Act were rejected by the Speaker.

M. Manogaran (DAP - Teluk Intan) said he was upset that there was no chance to debate both issues.

“If the death of a national service trainee is regarded as non-urgent to discuss in the Dewan, I do not know what else is urgent,” said Manogaran.

Manogaran was referring to Fong Po Kuan (DAP – Batu Gajah)’s emergency motion to debate the latest death of a trainee on Tuesday which was dismissed on the ground that it was not urgent.

Deputy Speaker Datuk Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said although the trainees’ well-being was a matter of concern, the Government had already taken steps to improve the health and safety levels at the camps.

Earlier, M. Kulasegaran’s (DAP - Ipoh Barat) emergency motion related to the Internal Security Act (ISA) was also rejected by the Speaker.

Opposition Leader Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, in a statement issued yesterday, also said her emergency motion to urge the Government to make the Lingam tape report public and to table the report in Parliament was also rejected.

She said that the motion should have been allowed if the Government was serious in restoring the integrity of the judiciary.

“We believe it was more than constipation and we want justice for our daughter,” said Hui Min’s mother Chin Kwee Choo, 52.

“How can a healthy girl die all of a sudden like this?” she asked.

Hui Min, from Geo Kosmo NS Training Camp in Kuala Kubu Baru, died at Slim River Hospital on Wednesday at 10.45pm after complaining of constipation.

The distraught mother said that despite passing with flying colours in her SPM examination last year, Hui Min did not have big dreams. The 7As scorer only wished to be a tour guide.

“She has never been anywhere else except her own country,'' said Chin.

“It was her dream to travel overseas and experience the world by herself. Now, it will remain just a dream.”

Chin said she and her husband Jong Sing were not satisfied with the explanation that their daughter died of toxic megacolon.

“We want to know what happened,” she said during a press conference organised by Pandamaran state assemblyman Ronnie Liu here yesterday. Chin and her husband had sought help from Liu, who had arranged a lawyer for them.

The Selangor exco member joined other DAP voices in demanding that the NS programme be scrapped in view of the number of fatal cases, most of them involving girls.

"Kita penuhi sekitar mahkamah Jalan Duta pagi ini bagi mengiringi sahabat dan rakan kita yang akan didakwa," katanya.

Ketua Penerangan PAS, Haji Mahfuz Omar pula menyeru semua ahli dan penyokong berkumpul seawal mungkin di mahkamah Jalan Duta dengan memakai t-shirt Bersih atau sekurang-kurangnya baju kuning.

"Mohamad Sabu, Tia Chua dan lain-lain ditahan semata-mata kerana menuntut pilihan raya yang adil dan bersih. Hari ini, kita buktikan solidariti kita dengan mereka. Pastikan kehadiran kita untuk mengiringi mereka dengan memakai t-shirt Bersih atau sekurang-kurangnya baju kuning," tegas beliau.

Mohamad Sabu ditangkap pihak polis di Plaza Tol Bukit Tambun, Seberang Perai Selatan, kira-kira pukul 8.45 malam tadi.

Sebelum itu, beliau dikepung oleh kira-kira enam buah kereta peronda polis berdekatan Sunway City di Ipoh ketika dalam perjalanan membawa rombongan perkahwinan anak perempuannya menuju ke rumah pengantin lelaki.

Setelah peguam Asmuni Awi yang juga Ahli Jawatankuasa PAS Pusat berunding dengan polis yang mengepungnya, Pengarah Jawatankuasa Perhimpunan Aman Rakyat anjuran Bersih 10 November lalu itu telah dibenarkan pulang ke Butterworth dengan diiringi konvoi polis dan diminta menyerah diri di balai polis di sana.

Sebaik tiba di Plaza Tol Bukit Tambun, keluarga dan rakan-rakan yang mengiringi Mohamad Sabu berusaha menyekat polis dari menangkap beliau.

Bagaimanapun, dengan menggunakan kekerasan, polis pencegah rusuhan (FRU) berjaya memecahkan sekatan keluarga dan rakan-rakan Mohamad Sabu.

Oleh kerana beliau enggan turun dari keretanya, polis memecahkan cermin kereta Mohamad Sabu, merentap beliau bersama tiga yang lain di dalam kereta itu, digari seperti penjenayah lalu dipaksa ke IPD Seberang Perai Selatan.

Setelah mengetahui penangkapan itu, lebih seribu penyokong berhimpun di sekitar ibu pejabat polis daerah itu. Kira-kira separuh dari mereka ialah penyokong-penyokong berbangsa India.

Tidak lama selepas itu, Mohamad Sabu dipercayai dibawa ke Kuala Lumpur untuk dibicarakan pagi ini.

Tian Chua pula telah ditangkap oleh Ketua Inspektor Koh Fei Chew dari Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah, Bukit Aman di Pejabat Suaram di Johor Bahru, jam 5:15 petang semalam.

Kedua-dua mereka dipercayai ditangkap di bawah Seksyen 27(5)(a) Akta Polis.
