<b><span style="color: blue;">Many questions still remain over the court case and the future of the maid.</span></b><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13px;">COMMENT</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The initial sentence given to a Datin for abusing her maid caused an uproar in Malaysia, rocking the legal world and prompting an online petition for a stiffer punishment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, we should not be too quickly satisfied just because Rozita Mohd Ali was finally handed eight years in jail for abusing her domestic helper, Suyanti Sutrinso.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of the many questions we should ask is, how on earth Rozita initially received the lighter sentence: a good behaviour bond coupled with the chance to repent. This is no deterrent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Suyanti, who was only 19 at the time, was beaten within an inch of her life. What message does that send to others? What does that say about our judicial system?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We should also ask why the initial charge of attempted murder was commuted to one of “causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means”.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Why did Suyanti fail to seek compensation? We understand her need to move on after the abuse, but did her legal counsel fail her? Or was the public not made privy to any compensation demanded?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Would the higher courts have increased Rozita’s sentence without the public outrage and online petition?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When Rozita changed her plea and pleaded guilty, Sessions Court judge Mohammed Mokhzani Mokhtar handed down a RM20,000 good behaviour bond for a period of five years. The unbelievably light sentence caused fury among the people, especially after her lawyer said she had repented for her actions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rozita had pleaded guilty to causing grievous hurt to Suyanti using a variety of objects including a knife, a floor mop, an umbrella, an iron rod and a clothes hanger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Talk is easy. Her repentance could never erase the physical and mental anguish suffered by Suyanti. We don’t even know if the beating was a one-off event or had continued over many months.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In any case, the assault may cause post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Suyanti.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Someone I know who suffered from PTSD described it as debilitating. She said she feared being in the company of strangers, or even people in general. Those who suffer from PTSD withdraw from society. Sudden noises upset them. Certain objects or scenes may induce panic. They have difficulty eating and sleeping.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If Suyanti, constantly reminded of her ordeal, exhibits these symptoms in the future, she will have difficulty earning a living. How will she help her family if she cannot go out and work? She would suffer crippling financial losses, not just while recovering from her injuries but in the event of future PTSD attacks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If Suyanti has suffered life-changing injuries, how will she cope? Who will pay her medical bills?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was alleged that Suyanti was so traumatised by the beating and media attention that she was prepared to drop her police report.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Is there a systematic policy of not telling maids who have been victims of assault to seek financial compensation?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Suyanti must now live with the debilitating effects of the abuse on her physical and mental health. Any victim of bullying can tell you that the effects haunt them for many years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If Rozita has no financial resources to compensate Suyanti, MPs should demand that a fund be set up so that victims can seek compensation from the state.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Is there a political will to do more to stop the abuse of domestic workers?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>PETALING JAYA:</b> A human rights lawyer has dismissed the Anti-Fake News Bill 2018, saying it does not address the problem of fake news beyond imposing a stiffer penalty.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">New Sin Yew said apart from increasing the punishment for fake news, the proposed law did not add any value to existing legislation like the Penal Code, the Sedition Act 1948 and the Defamation Act 1957.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“We definitely have enough legislation in place to deal with false reports or information that is being circulated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“There is too much duplicity in legislation. The anti-fake news bill doesn’t change much in terms of prosecution because it still requires the cases to be referred to the courts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“The problem with going to court is that it is a slow and costly process. The Defamation Act has this problem, so does the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998,” he said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There is also the issue of deciding what is true, as courts can only rule based on the evidence available.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“The problem is, no one has a monopoly on the truth,” New said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Fake news is a problem, but how the government is dealing with it is too feudal. They are not dealing with the root of the problem. This is just a bad attempt at trying to prevent what is actually a problem.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When asked how the situation in Malaysia compared to other countries with anti-fake news laws such as Germany, New said the situations were different.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“In Germany, the government imposes an obligation on social media owners to deal with publications which are false. After a certain amount of complaints are received by the social media owner, the company has to deal with it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“The (German) government also empowers social media sites and communities to deal with fake news, but that is absent here.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">New added that stifling freedom of speech and expression was counterproductive to what the government was trying to achieve by tabling the anti-fake news bill.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Meanwhile, human rights lawyer Eric Paulsen told FMT that in Germany, the situation was totally different as the law required social media networks to remove hate speech and illegal materials.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“The context is different. In Germany there was a fake news campaign of hatred against migrants and asylum seekers, accusing them of rape which turned out to be false.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Further, in Germany, France and the US, there is a sophisticated campaign by state-sponsored entities and by Russia to spread misinformation, thus subverting their democracies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“None of these situations apply in Malaysia, and if there is any misinformation out there, the police and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission are fully empowered to act under existing laws.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Paulsen also drew a comparison to French President Emmanuel Macron, who on Jan 3 announced his plans for a new law to combat fake news and “propaganda” on social media.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Having been a victim of fake news during last year’s election, Macron reportedly said the new law would allow for a new emergency action to be taken against fake news during the election period, which would empower a judge to delete content, close a user’s account or block access to a website.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“The difference is, Macron is a real victim. In Malaysia, the government will use the ill-defined law (anti-fake news bill) to target unfavourable news, accusing them of being fake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Authorities are fully empowered to act, arrest, remand, seize mobile phones and computers, and even charge someone in court.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Then they will say, let the court decide, as though that is a fair thing.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Prior to Germany’s September 2017 election, the government on June 30 passed the Net Enforcement Act (NetzDG), a law which largely focuses on hate speech and fake news.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The NetzDG is aimed at “unlawful content” relating to offences such as making public falsified information or untrue assertions of facts that may seriously prejudice Germany’s external security or diplomatic relationships.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It requires major social media network platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to have a procedure to remove or block access to obviously unlawful content within 24 hours of a complaint, or within seven days for all unlawful content, subject to certain situations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Malaysia’s Anti-Fake News Bill 2018 was tabled in Parliament on Monday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Under the proposed law, it will be an offence to create, offer, publish, distribute, circulate or disseminate fake news.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is also an offence to directly or indirectly provide financial assistance to facilitate the spread of fake news or to abet the offence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The bill describes fake news as any news, information, data or report, which is wholly or partly false, whether in the form of features, visuals, audio recordings or any other form, capable of suggesting words or ideas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>PETALING JAYA</b>: Sekumpulan wanita warga Indonesia dan Malaysia yang dikaitkan dengan IS ditahan tentera Kurdish di Syria, kata pegawai badan hak asasi manusia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pegawai itu berkata kebanyakan wanita itu ditahan bersama-sama anak mereka.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dipercayai terdapat sekurang-kurangnya 15 warga Indonesia dan seorang wanita Malaysia dalam kalangan tahanan itu.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Akhbar Jerman, Die Welt, melaporkan awal bulan ini, lebih kurang 800 wanita warga asing yang menyertai kumpulan militan IS bersama anak-anak mereka ditahan tentera Kurdish yang disokong Amerika Syarikat, di utara Syria.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Akhbar Jerman itu menemu bual Pengarah Program Keganasan dan Counterterrorism Pertubuhan Hak Asasi Manusia, Nadim Houry, yang bercakap dengan ramai wanita semasa melawat beberapa kem tahanan di kawasan pegangan tentera Kurdish di Syria bulan lepas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Saya tahu terdapat warga Indonesia, sekurang-kurangnya 15 keluarga,” kata Houry kepada FMT menerusi emel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Saya tidak ternampak warga Malaysia, tetapi saya diberitahu terdapat satu keluarga.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Kebanyakan keluarga mempunyai anak, jadi walaupun saya tidak mengetahui maklumat lanjut tentang keluarga-keluarga ini, saya merasakan mereka juga (keluarga Malaysia) mempunyai anak.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Houry berkata Indonesia antara beberapa negara yang sudah membawa pulang beberapa keluarga pada 2017.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Lagi satu negara yang sudah membawa pulang warga mereka adalah Rusia. Tetapi masih ada yang belum dibawa pulang,” katanya.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Saya tidak berpeluang bercakap lebih lanjut dengan mereka kali ini.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Tetapi saya sudah bertemu dengan keluarga-keluarga warga Indonesia semasa lawatan sebelum ini pada Julai 2017, walaupun saya diberitahu Indonesia sudah membawa pulang sekumpulan wanita itu.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Houry tidak berkata jika terdapat wanita dari negara Asia Tenggara lain di kem tersebut dan apa yang berlaku kepada keluarga Malaysia itu.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Akhbar itu turut memetik Houry yang mengatakan 800 wanita dan kanak-kanak itu ditahan di 4 kem.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Mereka berasal dari lebih kurang 40 negara. Terdapat wanita warga Kanada, Perancis, Britain, Tunisia, Yaman, Turki dan Australia,” katanya sambil menambah, terdapat 15 daripada mereka berasal dari Jerman.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Houry berkata wanita di kem itu diberikan tahap kebebasan tertentu tetapi tidak dibenarkan meninggalkan kem.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mereka ditahan daripada pejuang IS yang ditangkap, katanya.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sesetengah wanita ditemubual Houry mengadu, mereka “dipukul dan dimalukan” semasa soal siasat dan dipaksa tinggal dalam keadaan tidak bersih dengan bayi mereka.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Wanita-wanita ini dalam situasi sangat sukar. Terutamanya bagi anak-anak kecil, keadaan sememangnya tidak baik,” kata Houry sebagaimana dipetik.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Houry berkata wanita-wanita tersebut mahu pulang ke rumah dan sanggup dijatuhkan hukuman jenayah di negara asal mereka.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Sesetengah wanita mahu sekurang-kurangnya menghantar anak mereka pulang,” katanya sambil menambah, kerajaan Eropah sepatutnya membenarkan anak-anak tersebut pulang.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Kanak-kanak itu tidak melakukan sebarang jenayah, mereka mangsa perang dan biasanya menjadi mangsa ibu bapa mereka yang radikal,” katanya.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kemungkinan dihantar balik</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pawel Wójcik, penganalisis keganasan Asia Tenggara laman bahasa Polish yang mengetengahkan isu semasa, mPolska24, berkata terdapat banyak keluarga dari Asia Tenggara masih dalam tahanan Angkatan Demokratik Syria dan YPG (Unit Lindungan militia Kurdish).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Orang Kurdish terbuka untuk rundingan dengan kerajaan bagi proses menghantar balik warga negara,” katanya kepada FMT.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Keluarga dalam tahanan Iraq mempunyai pilihan yang lebih sedikit kerana mereka lebih cenderung untuk mendakwa atau menjalankan hukuman mati ke atas mereka.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kata pakar itu, ia tertakluk kepada Malaysia untuk memutuskan apa perlu dilakukan dengan rakyatnya di sana.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Sememangnya terdapat keperluan untuk menyiasat peranan rakyat Malaysia dalam organisasi keganasan IS itu sebelum mereka dicekup oleh orang Kurdistan,” katanya.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Ini penting kerana dalam sesetengah kes, masih ada peluang untuk menjalankan deradikalisasi dan membantu wanita-wanita itu menyesuaikan diri semula dalam masyarakat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Bagaimanapun, dalam kes lain, contohnya wanita Malaysia yang menjadi ahli polis moral atau berkhidmat dalam ketenteraan atau pentadbiran IS, ia lebih sukar untuk kerajaan Malaysia menjalankan proses deradikalisasi atau menyesuaikan mereka semula.”</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Malaysia’s opposition coalition is known as Pakatan Harapan, or Pact of Hope.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It’s fitting for a group that has pinned its hopes on a nonagenarian former prime minister to wrest power from the ruling Barisan National (BN) coalition in a general election due by August but expected to be called as early as the end of the first quarter this year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The <a href="http://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/2127197/najib-vs-mahathir-malaysias-opposition-names-92-year-old"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">naming of Mahathir Mohamad as its prime ministerial candidate</span></a>, along with Wan Azizah as a deputy prime minister, at last week’s national convention showed how much hope Pakatan Harapan (PH) has invested in the upcoming vote.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The coalition must hope Mahathir, at 92, can endure what is expected to be a gruelling race and that, should he win, he would be magnanimous enough to hand the office to Wan’s husband, Anwar Ibrahim, the former deputy prime minister currently serving a five-year jail term for sodomy. Crucially, the coalition must also hope to secure a wave of support across 119 rural constituencies predominantly populated by Malays.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tempering that hope is the question of whether the coalition’s electoral machinery is robust enough to generate sufficiently widespread appeal to secure the the all-critical Malay vote.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In 2008 and 2013, PH performed well, as it leaned on the right-wing Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) to canvass the Malay voters in the rural areas where conservatism runs deep. But PAS abandoned the coalition in 2015 and now PH must work twice as hard to reach voters in the deep interiors of Peninsular Malaysia and in the states of Sabah and Sarawak. More critically, it will also have to face off against the well-oiled machine of the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition – and its leading party, the United Malay National Organisation (Umno), led by Prime Minister Najib Razak.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">What, me worry? Polls show Najib Razak’s corruption scandals are not a priority for voters. Photo: Reuters</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Signs of weakness</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Najib, prime minister since 2009, has been rocked by a series of corruption scandals – including the debacle over 1MDB, a government fund founded by Najib which faces money-laundering investigations in at least six countries. However, some polls show voters are more concerned about the rising cost of living and the health of the economy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Still, the ruling coalition looks vulnerable. It dipped from a winning 63.8 per cent of the popular vote in 2004 to 51.9 per cent in 2008, then to 47.4 per cent in 2013, although maintained a majority of seats in parliament.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://www.scmp.com/week-asia/article/2127075/think-gst-hurting-indias-modi-look-malaysia"><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Think GST is hurting India’s Modi? Look at Malaysia</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The decline prompted some analysts to speculate this is the year Umno – and Najib – could fall. Others, however, reject thisprediction as wishful thinking. Political scientist Bridget Welsh argued in her book The End of UMNO? that the resources Umno and BN command can withstand any challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Other factors, such as gerrymandering expected before the poll, could help Najib remain in power. In Lembah Pantai, Kuala Lumpur, the district where Anwar’s daughter Nurul Izzah is a second-term member of parliament, a surge of 7,000 new voters has prompted allegations of electoral manipulation.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Even if PH manages to win the simple majority of 112 seats in parliament required to form a government that doesn’t necessarily mean it can claim victory. Without any rules to ban party hopping, even if BN or UMNO lose the incumbency by a slim majority, Najib’s influence could persuade various MPs to join him, rather than Mahathir, to form government.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If such a photo finish ensues, the leverage of Sabah and Sarawak would increase almost instantly, as MPs in those states could offer themselves to the highest bidder.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Zaid Ibrahim, a Malay member of the opposition Democratic Action Party (DAP), and a former law minister under BN, said “Sabah and Sarawak would swing to PH”, especially if greater autonomy is granted to these two states.</span><br />

<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Is Mahathir the right man?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">More than half the rural constituencies form the Malay heartland, so it could take a physical toll on Mahathir to reach all of them. He has started campaigning in his home state of Kedah, attacking the government as “one of the worst kleptocracies in the world”.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How Malays responds to Mahathir, not merely in Kedah but across the whole of Malaysia, will depend on the magic of the former leader’s brand and will require a high turnout of voters, both new and old. Otherwise, the support among Malays may not be strong enough to unseat Najib.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The opposition has employed another tactic to persuade fence-sitters. Along with the announcement of its candidates for prime minister and deputy prime minister, the coalition confirmed the parliamentary seat allocations of Peninsular Malaysia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Bersatu party, led by Mahathir, will compete in 52 seats, PKR in 51 seats, DAP in 35 seats and Amanah in 27. Khalid Samad, the MP of Shah Alam, with Amanah, said: “To ensure electoral victory in the upcoming general election, the opposition needs to increase Malay support. To achieve this it is crucial that Mahathir be seen to be at the helm of PH and named as its candidate for prime minister. ”</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Thus, by naming Mahathir as its prime ministerial candidate, the coalition aims to debunk the ruling party’s propaganda line that DAP would dominate any PH government should it win power.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The election seems certain to be a nail-biting affair – provided it is conducted in a free, fair and orderly manner – promising major implications for the future of Malaysia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The fact PH’s seat allocations have been settled well ahead of the election bodes well for the opposition, showing a united front. Come what may, Mahathir knows this is his final electoral hurrah and he must make it count</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Suspek BR, yang merupakan pemandu peribadi janda kaya itu, pada percubaan pertama didakwa menghidangkan bakso yang dicampur racun tikus kepada mangsa. Namun, mangsa langsung tidak terkesan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Berang melihat Sulasi masih hidup, BR dua hari kemudian menyajikan bubur yang dicampur racun jenis tirex kepada mangsa. Namun percubaan kali kedua ini juga gagal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Putus asa dengan kejadian itu, kedua-dua suspek nekad datang ke rumah Sulasi lalu mencekik mangsa hingga mati.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mayat mangsa yang dibuang ke dalam sungai ditemukan tidak lama kemudian dan kedua-dua suspek kini ditahan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Polis Indonesia yang menjalankan proses lakon semula kes pembunuhan pada Jumaat mengesahkan hanya dua suspek terlibat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Motif kejadian dipercayai akibat dendam membabitkan hutang.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><a href="https://www.themalaysianinsight.com/bahasa/s/33296/"><b><span style="color: red;">Ali Imran</span></b></a> · Diterbitkan pada 19 Jan 2018 2:13PM</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"SAYA tunjuk dulu semua dokumen ini pada semua, kalau tidak nanti ada yang tak percaya pula."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Begitulah cara Shahrir Samad, pengerusi Lembaga Kemajuan Tanah Persekutuan (Felda) memulakan sidang media “Perkembangan Terbaru Berkaitan Tanah Felda di Jalan Semarak” pada 15 Januari lalu.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Berbanding cara konvensional sesebuah sidang media yang dimulakan dengan ucapan, beliau terus “lompat” kepada isi utama hari itu iaitu pemulangan semula tanah milik Felda yang dipindah milik melalui beberapa transaksi meragukan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wajahnya yang tersenyum sepanjang majlis berlangsung sudah cukup untuk menggambarkan kepuasan melihat kontroversi terbesar organisasi itu dapat diselesaikan dalam masa satu tahun sembilan hari selepas mengambil alih jawatan pengerusi daripada Isa Samad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dalam tempoh sama, beliau turut mengambil beberapa tindakan lain demi mengukuhkan Felda seperti menyusun semula barisan pengurusan, penstrukturan semula aset serta mengukuhkan kedudukan kewangan organisasi itu.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Antara tindakan drastik yang diambil ialah mengarahkan peletakan jawatan semua ahli lembaga pengarah Felda Investment Corporation (FIC) pada Januari serta penjualan aset seperti kereta mewah dan hotel Grand Plaza Service Apartment di London.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dua aset milik FIC di London dan Kuching juga sedang disiasat SPRM atas dakwaan pembelian pada kadar jauh lebih tinggi daripada kadar pasaran yang mengakibatkan kerugian kepada anak syarikat Felda itu.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bagi Shahrir, sasaran beliau untuk tahun pertama menjalankan tugas sudah pun berada di landasan yang tepat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sidang media yang dianggap paling panas dalam sejarah penubuhan Felda sepanjang penubuhannya 62 tahun lalu dibuat tidak sampai tiga jam selepas pihak Synergy Promenade Sdn. Bhd (SPSB) menandatangani dokumen penyerahan semula tanah Felda di Jalan Semarak.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dengan gaya beliau yang bersahaja, ahli Parlimen Johor Bahru ini mengemudi sesi yang berlangsung di Menara Felda dihadiri puluhan wartawan mewakili akhbar, portal berita, stesen TV dan radio baik daripada yang pro kerajaan mahupun pro pembangkang.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Shahrir turut menggunakan perkataan "let's start the magic" untuk memulakan sesi tayangan gambar dokumen yang ditandatangani kedua-dua pihak. Penulis melihat ia sebagai satu penggunaan perkataan yang “makan dalam” kerana ia ibarat memberi gambaran keseluruhan kemelut ini.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jika diamati betul-betul, setiap rentetan melibatkan isu ibarat satu pertunjukan magis. “Persembahan” pertama adalah bagaimana beberapa keping tanah milik negara (melalui Felda) boleh dipindah milik dengan sebegitu mudah.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Shahrir sendiri beberapa kali meluahkan kekecewaan beliau kerana sewaktu Felda berniat mahu meletakkan kaveat persendirian ke atas tanah, ia tidak mendapat kelulusan daripada Jabatan Tanah dan Galian Wilayah Persekutuan sehingga beliau perlu memohon campur tangan Ketua Setiausaha Negara Ali Hamsa barulah ia berjaya dilakukan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Satu lagi “silap mata” adalah pemberian status wakil penuh (PA) yang dibuat tanpa dilaporkan kepada lembaga pengarah.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mengikut rekod, PA itu dianugerahkan pada 3 Jun 2014 dan hanya dilaporkan kepada lembaga pengarah pada 2 September tahun yang sama.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Magika yang paling agung adalah bila PA melaksanakan beberapa transaksi jual beli tanah dan melalui transaksi inilah pemindahan hak milik tanah dipindahkan menjadi hak milik SPSB.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Menurut Shahrir, ini hal paling aneh ialah penjual (atas kapasiti sebagai PA) adalah SPSB dan yang membeli juga adalah SPSB. Kerana itulah penulis meletakkan transaksi ini sebagai silap mata terbesar atas semua silap mata yang berlaku.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Maka apa cara terbaik untuk melawan magis? Caranya adalah mendedahkan helah sang ahli silap mata.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bila orang ramai sudah dapat tahu helah si ahli silap mata, secara automatik dia tidak lagi akan dipanggil ahli silap mata.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Orang ini pasti tidak akan selamanya mahu dikecam masyarakat. Justeru dia pasti mahu membersihkan namanya dengan apa sahaja cara yang terdaya.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bila hal ini berlaku, persepsi lain pula akan timbul. Sebahagian masyarakat akan percaya ini benar-benar pertarungan menegakkan kebenaran manakala sebahagian lagi akan melihat ia hanyalah sebagai lakonan pentas yang siap dirangka skrip dan jalan ceritanya.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Shahrir sedar hal ini. Kerana itulah bagi beliau, persepsi negatif bukanlah hal yang akan diendah kerana beliau ada tanggung jawab yang lebih besar untuk memastikan hak Felda terpelihara.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Boleh dikatakan sesuatu yang agak pelik dalam sesebuah sidang media apabila inti dokumen yang ditandatangani dipaparkan kepada warga media tanpa sebarang tapisan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Namun bagi Shahrir ini sesuatu yang amat penting untuk dilakukan. Beliau mahu rakyat percaya bahawa situasi ini satu perkara yang serius dan ia benar-benar berlaku demi kepentingan negara.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bukan setakat menunjukkan isi dokumen, Shahrir turut menggunakan peluang ini untuk mengulas butiran dokumen itu.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bahkan beliau turut menunjukkan persetujuan dua ahli lembaga pengarah SPSB lengkap dengan tandatangan mereka yang beliau sifatkan sebagai “sangat penting” untuk memastikan proses pemindahan semula pemilikan tanah berjalan lancar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Kalau ikutkan saya nak tunjuk (dokumen) yang ‘original’ tapi kita lepas tanda tangan cepat-cepat hantar ke peguam," jelas beliau.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bagaimanapun, apabila cuba diperangkap dengan soalan “siapa pemilik SPSB?” pantas beliau menjawab: "Saya tidak tahu siapa pemilik sebenar tetapi ahli lembaga pengarahnya adalah seperti dalam dokumen itu, yang dua orang itu."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jika ada yang fikir sidang media yang diadakan itu satu bentuk “tutup buku”, sebenarnya kisah ini belum selesai.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Di pihak Felda, laporan polis tidak akan ditarik balik serta audit forensik yang sedang dijalankan akan diteruskan seperti biasa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Apa yang penting, Felda mahu tangani isu ini dengan telus. Shahrir sendiri tidak mengelak sebarang soalan yang dikemukakan wartawan sepanjang berlangsungnya sidang media.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"I could just issue a press statement and walk away, you know," jawab Shahrir bila ditanyakan sejauh mana Felda telus menangani isu ini.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sebaliknya dapat dilihat sejak mula isu tanah Jalan Semarak dibangkitkan, pihak Felda dan Shahrir sendiri tidak pernah lokek masa mahupun tenaga menjawab segala persoalan yang dibangkitkan baik melalui sidang-sidang media mahupun soalan secara bertulis.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Transparency is now...saya jamin integriti di Felda akan jadi budaya Felda. Tidak akan ada isu yang disapu ke bawah meja," ulas Shahrir lagi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bagi beliau, Felda kini mahu “balik ke asal”. Beliau mahu muafakat peneroka kembali utuh, dan para peneroka bersama Felda terutamanya dalam aktiviti penghasilan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Bersama Felda” diertikan Shahrir sebagai kesudian seseorang peneroka menjual hasil kepada Felda tidak kiralah sama ada penanaman dibuat menggunakan modal sendiri mahupun modal yang dipinjam daripada lembaga.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dalam pertemuan khusus penulis dengan Shahrir pada Disember lalu, beliau ada menyebut aspirasi beliau menjadikan lebih ramai peneroka yang menanam menggunakan modal sendiri tanpa perlu berhutang dengan Felda untuk mendapatkan modal usaha tanah.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Kita mahu lahirkan lebih ramai peneroka bebas hutang. Sekarang baru ada dalam 9,000 daripada lebih 100,000 peneroka. Jumlah ini kita perlu tingkatkan,” katanya.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bagaimanakah aspirasi ini akan dapat direalisasikan? Sama-sama kita nantikan gerak kerja Felda yang seterusnya. – Bernama, 19 Januari, 2018.</span><br />

</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>KUALA LUMPUR</b>: Petaling Jaya Selatan MP Hee Loy Sian told the High Court that the Dewan Rakyat speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia had breached freedom of speech in Parliament when he rejected questions related to 1MDB.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the hearing before Justice Kamaluddin Md Said in chambers, Hee’s lawyer N Surendran said that Pandikar had violated Article 63(2) of the Federal Constitution that guarantees freedom of speech in the Dewan Rakyat.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“We said that several Federal Court decisions have stated that courts can inquire into the Dewan Rakyat’s decision when the Speaker had exceeded his jurisdiction.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Everyone including the house of representatives is subordinate to the Federal Constitution,” he told reporters after the hearing.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, senior federal counsel Shamsul Bolhassan representing Pandikar, argued that courts cannot question any proceedings in the Dewan Rakyat.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Any decision made by the Speaker is an integral part of the proceedings in the Dewan Rakyat.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Two recent Federal Court decisions had affirmed the legal principles in parliamentary privileges and non-justifiability of its’ proceedings,” Shamsul said, referring to two cases related to former Selangor speaker Teng Chang Khim’s decision in the state assembly.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a recent ruling by the Federal Court on Aug 2017, it was decided that the courts cannot interfere into the proceedings in the Dewan Rakyat or state legislative assemblies.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The apex court had previously allowed Teng’s appeal to challenge two lower court decisions that did not rule in his favour.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He had declared the Port Klang state seat as vacant in 2011 after its former assemblyman, Badrul Hisham Abdullah was absent in the state assembly for six months.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Badrul later filed a lawsuit to nullify Teng’s decision.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Justice Kamaluddin had fixed Feb 19 for a decision on whether Hee’s suit should be struck out.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pandikar had previously applied to strike out Hee’s suit on the grounds the suit had encroached into parliamentary privileges.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hee took Pandikar and Dewan Rakyat secretary Roosme Hamzah to court last year for rejecting his questions related to 1MDB.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The PKR MP is seeking a court declaration that Pandikar’s decision to reject his questions related to 1MDB dated July 21, 2017 be made null and void.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hee had requested to ask the government whether it had raised any objection on the United States Department of Justice’s (DoJ) forfeiture suit.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He also wanted to know the whereabouts of businessman Low Taek Jho (Jho Low) as well as the status of Low as a Malaysian citizen as he was alleged to have obtained citizenship in one or more other countries.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 15px; padding-left: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Azalina Othman Said had said Hee’s action had tarnished the good name of the Dewan Rakyat.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Pemimpin PH dalam konvensyen menjelang PRU 14</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rata-rata pimpinan AMANAH yang ditemui selepas berakhirnya Konvensyen Pakatan Harapan hari ini mengambil sikap berlapang dada selepas menerima keputusan agihan kerusi Parlimen di Semenanjung yang paling sedikit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Presiden AMANAH, Mohamad Sabu yakin akan memenangi kesemua 27 kerusi Parlimen yang diperuntukkan kepada parti berkenaan pada Pilihan Raya Umum ke-14 (PRU-14) nanti.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“InsyaAllah, kita akan menang semua (kerusi),” jawabnya ringkas sejurus turun dari pentas utama selepas selesai sidang media.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sementara itu, Pengarah Komunikasi AMANAH, Khalid Samad pula memberitahu parti berusia dua tahun tersebut berjaya memperoleh kerusi Parlimen yang sebelum ini dituntut.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Kita dapat kebanyakan kerusi (Parlimen) yang kita mahu. Dan kerusi yang AMANAH dapat adalah kerusi yang berpotensi tinggi boleh menang,” katanya.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ahli Parlimen Shah Alam berkenaan menafikan kononnnya AMANAH terpinggir dalam proses rundingan agihan kerusi dengan tiga sekutunya yang lain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sebaliknya, beliau berpendapat keputusan tidak semestinya menyaksikan kerusi yang banyak ditandingi akan mampu dimenangi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Daripada jumlah kerusi yang banyak, belum tentu boleh menang. AMANAH dapat kerusi yang terbaik,” tegas Khalid lagi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Perutusan yang diberi nama ‘Muafakat Pakatan Harapan’ itu menyaksikan Bersatu membolot paling banyak kerusi Parlimen di Semenanjung iaitu 52 daripada 165 kerusi dan diikuti PKR sebanyak 51 kerusi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sementara itu, DAP diperuntukkan 35 kerusi manakala AMANAH hanya memperoleh 27 kerusi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tawar-menawar </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ditanya tentang peranan tawar-menawar AMANAH bersama rakan Pakatan Harapan, Ketua Pemuda AMANAH Nasional, Sany Hamzan pula berpendapat partinya tidak hilang kuasa rundingan tersebut.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Kita tidak hilang kuasa tawar menawar. Soal pembahagian kerusi ini bergantung pada kekuatan parti. Kita tahu PRU-14 ini, undi Melayu adalah undi penentu.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Jadi, sudah tentu kita memberi peluang yang agak luas kepada Bersatu sebab kita tahu Bersatu ditubuhkan berteraskan Melayu.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Oleh itu, sudah tentu Bersatu boleh menggantikan tempat Umno-BN untuk menarik sokongan pengundi Melayu khususnya yang tinggal di luar bandar,” jelasnya.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sany turut menyifatkan rundingan pembahagian kerusi di peringkat Dewan Undangan Negeri (Dun) dijangka akan memberi lebih ruang kepada AMANAH.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Ada satu lagi perbincangan kerusi di peringkat Dun. Saya difahamkan di sinilah AMANAH akan memainkan peranan sangat penting berdasarkan kekuatan jentera (pilihan raya) kita di peringkat akar umbi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Selama dua tahun ini, AMANAH bekerja kuat dan kekukuhan Pakatan Harapan banyak digerakkan AMANAH. Peranan AMANAH terus di akar umbi sekali gus membantu kemenangan calon Pakatan Harapan di peringkat Parlimen,” jelasnya lagi.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pengerusi Pakatan Harapan Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad berkata, yang menjayakan agihan kerusi PH hari ini adalah AMANAH.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Beliau berkata demikian dalam ucapan beliau di Konvensyen Pakatan Harapan yang diadakan di IDCC Shah Alam hari ini.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Semalam dalam satu rundingan yang diadakan, pemimpin kanan Pakatan Harapan (PH) telah mencapai kata sepakat berhubung pembahagian kerusi Parlimen untuk ditandingi dalam Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-14 (PRU14) nanti untuk Semenanjung Malaysia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Persetujuan yang dicapai menetapkan PKR akan bertanding 51 kerusi, Bersatu 52, DAP 35 dan AMANAH 27. Jumlah kerusi Parlimen untuk dipertandingkan di Semenanjung Malaysia ialah 165.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Butiran keputusan kata sepakat berkenaan kemudian telah diumumkan oleh Ketua Sekretariat PH, Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah melalui perisytiharan Muafakat Pakatan Harapan pada Konvensyen PH itu hari ini.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Turut diumumkan Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad telah dinamakan sebagai calon Perdana Menteri (PM) PH sekiranya PH berjaya mengambil alih Putrajaya dan Presiden PKR Dr Wan Azizah Wan pula diumumkan sebagai Timbalan Perdana Menteri (TPM).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Sunday, January 7, 2018</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sections of the American mainstream media is on a witch hunt to take down President Donald Trump. Talk show hosts, late night commentators and others are leading the charge as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The latest is a book Fire And Fury written by a Michael Wolff (two fs) that says Trump is insane, mentally unstable, psychologically disturbed, deranged etc to hold the office of the US President.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This book is coming out AFTER an almost year long quite ridiculous effort to prove that Donald Trump is a Russian agent. To be more exact - an agent of Vladimir Putin - who is of course another Darth Invader bad boy of the pro-blood-shedding Western death cults.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway here are some simple Sunday morning facts about Donald Trump that may be useful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Donald Trump finished high school circa 1964 as a military cadet at the New York Military Academy. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>Here is a picture of Trump at the military academy. He is 2nd from the left.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After that in 1968 Donald Trump graduated from the super Ivy League Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Economics. </span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>Anil Ambani - Chairman of the Reliance Group, billionaire industrialist</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Trump graduated from the Ivy League Wharton School, the alma mater of some of the greatest industrialists, businessmen and billionaires in the world. These are facts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Donald Trump then went ahead to build his business empire. The less informed identify Trump as a TV personality but that was just Trump's pre-planning to position himself for his run for the presidency. He wanted to become a household name first.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Trump's greatest success is his multi-billion dollar business empire. Trump says he has made over US$8 billion from his business. And he is still making more money. These are facts. That is indeed a clever businessman. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In politics, Trump has no experience. Hence his rookie outing as a presidential candidate had to be a cleverly thought and well prepared move. He has won the presidency as the 45th president of the United States, with no previous record in politics, defeating not just 'deep state'candidates but also the mega media machinery that was against him. This is another humongous achievement. These are facts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Within the first 12 months of being in office, Trump has become the first and most decisive US President yet to cut off US$2.0 billion military aid to Pakistan. These are facts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This means US$2 Billion less human blood shed, killing and destruction in Pakistan and elsewhere where Pakistan sends its terrorists. Trump is now pondering cutting more aid to Pakistan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In my view, Trumps greatest achievement thus far is the revamping of the US tax regime, particularly cutting corporate taxes from a whopping 35% down to a more sensible 20%. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This will free up TRILLIONS of dollars for American companies - to reinvest, to expand production, to employ more workers, to pay dividends to shareholders, to buy yachts, to buy Rolls Royces etc. Their country is about to take off. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since Donald Trump became President less than 12 months ago, the US economy is taking off. Wall Street has gone skyrockets. The Dow Jones has breached 25,000 for the first time. When I lived in the US in the mid 80s, the Dow was at around 1400.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here is the Dow Jones chart from March 2017 until 5th January, 2018.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When Donald Trump became president, the Dow Jones was around 20,000. Now it has reached 25,295. That is an explosion of over 26 % in under 12 months !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The NYSE (where the Dow Jones is computed) now has a market capitalisation of almost US$20 TRILLION !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In 12 months of Trump's presidency the NYSE has added ALMOST US$5 TRILLION to their wealth !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All these are facts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It does not sound very insane or deranged or psychologically disturbed.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When you do wrong, you apologise. This is what former prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, has done. It takes a lot of courage for a person to humble himself and say the three magic words, “I am sorry.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He could have done this ages ago, but at this stage, it is irrelevant. Malaysia is suffering and the ordinary man in the street fares the worst. Mahathir has apologised for the deeds he committed while in politics, and we should move on to rebuild Malaysia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Usually, a person who apologises is seen as magnanimous, but what if the people to whom the apology is directed demand more than a mere apology?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Like it or not, each and every one of us has been affected by Mahathir’s policies in one way or another. You could say, that we are all Mahathir’s children, some treated more preferentially than others. Those who could not bear his authoritarian ways, simply left or rebelled. His favourites excelled.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mahathir became involved in politics in the 1940s but stamped his mark on Umno, twenty years later. He could never see eye to eye with Tunku Abdul Rahman and an open letter in 1969 purportedly coming from Mahathir, which demanded Tunku’s resignation, prompted Malaysia’s first PM to expel him from the party.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mahathir was a good teacher. He told us to jump and we asked, “How high?” We obeyed him without question.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">His book, “The Malay Dilemma”, gave the Malays a new sense of identity and an ego to match. He dared to defy the white masters, and this increased his stature in the eyes of the Malays. One of his students is the current PM, whose father plucked him from the political wilderness and made him a senator in 1972. The rest is history.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today, Malaysia reaps what Mahathir has sown. We marvel at the skyscrapers, in the Mahathir-tropolis, but it was built at great cost. Malays who were dirt poor, were lifted out of poverty. He created a massive Malay middle-class, who enjoyed many perks and opportunities previously denied them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The only problem was that many people lived in a moral vacuum. Greed and selfishness triumphed, just like Mahathir’s Petronas twin-towers. Today, he must be aware that he created a monster. He has admitted that removing Najib Abdul Razak is not enough and that Umno has to go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Before, struggling non-Malays did not hesitate to settle and work abroad, whilst the Malays prevaricated about change. This is no longer true. Malays are now part of the brain drain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The wealthy non-Malays are also part of the problem. They do not know the suffering of their poorer cousins. They keep their noses clean, and avoid upsetting the ruling party, for obvious reasons.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mahathir has apologised, but that is not enough for some people. Nothing in this world is perfect. No marriage, spouse, house, car, holiday or medical treatment is perfect. We make the best of what we have.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mahathir’s critics accuse the opposition of being fragmented. They claim that Mahathir is only interested in continuing his legacy. They refuse to accept a woman PM. They refuse to accept a non-Malay PM. They refuse to use Mahathir and tap his skills to overthrow the present government. They do not offer an alternative solution, or alternative candidates, and yet many of them would rather spoil their votes in GE14.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Talk about cutting off their noses, to spite their faces.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you really want change, go and vote, do not spoil your vote. If you do that, you will give Umno another five years of rule. In those five years, Malaysia may deteriorate to a state that would be unrecognisable to the rakyat of Malaysia, today.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>SHAH ALAM</b> - Ahli Parlimen Pokok Sena, Datuk Mahfuz Omar mendedahkan bahawa beliau mengambil maklum sebarang 'serangan' ke atasnya selepas beliau keluar daripada Pas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ini termasuklah kenyataan daripada pemimpin Pas yang meminta agar beliau melepaskan jawatan sebagai Ahli Parlimen Pokok Sena.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Katanya, beliau hanya tersenyum tatkala mengetahui mengenai perkhabaran tersebut.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Saya tunggu lagi apa orang nak kata, biar diorang keluar habis.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Saya senyum sahaja baca surat khabar hari-hari," katanya kepada Sinar Online.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dalam pada itu, mengulangi kenyataan beliau semalam, Mahfuz berkata beliau akan mengulas semua isu berkaitan pengundurannya daripada Pas dalam masa lima hari daripada sekarang.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Seminggu selepas ini saya akan isytiharkan semua perkara," katanya lagi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sinar Harian hari ini melaporkan kenyataan Setiausaha Agung Pas, Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan yang menyarankan agar Mahfuz melepaskan jawatan selaku Ahli Parlimen selepas menghantar surat pemberhentian menjadi ahli Pas kelmarin kerana dibimbangi pendapatannya sebagai wakil rakyat adalah haram.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Takiyuddin berkata, ini memandangkan bekas Naib Presiden Pas itu masih terikat dengan baiah atau lafaz sumpah sebagai calon Pas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Malah menurutnya, jika Mahfuz melanggar baiah itu, beliau juga berdepan laknat ALLAH SWT dan seluruh umat Islam.</span><br />

PAS mendokong fikrah yang jelas, bahawa kerjasama bersama (Pakatan Rakyat pada waktu itu)adalah dibina dengan berpegang kepada dasar bantu-membantu dalam menegakkan keadilan dan menentang kezaliman.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Namun hari ini Hadi Awang berkata “...bahawa parti yang diterajuinya itu bersedia untuk menjadi pendokong kuat kepada Umno sekiranya parti tonggak BN itu mentadbir negara dengan ikhlas serta kembali kepada ajaran Islam.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bagaimana seseorang yang kuat agamanya mampu berubah sekelip mata dengan menyatakan sokongan secara terbuka?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jika ingin mentadbir negara ini dengan adil dan saksama rujuk dan khatamkan Piagam Madinah. Kembalilah pada ajaran Rasulullah (saw) dan bukannya perjuangan sesat yang membolehkan baiah sehingga menceraikan isteri jika tidak sehaluan dengan prinsip parti.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lihat bagaimana Rasullullah (saw) memimpin,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Masyarakat Islam, Yahudi dan Nasrani yang mendiami bumi Madinah disatukan melalui piagam yang cukup penting dengan situasi dan keperluan mereka iaitu Piagam Madinah yang menghendaki setiap individu menjadikan keamanan dan kesejahteraan negara sebagai keutamaan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Setiap anggota masyarakat tidak kira agama, bangsa mahupun kaum haruslah sentiasa menjadikan kestabilan dan keamanan negara sebagai satu keutamaan dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Inilah yang menjadi antara inti pati kandungan Piagam Madinah yang digariskan oleh Rasulullah (saw).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>PETALING JAYA</b>: Will Prime Minister Najib Razak’s hand in calling for the next general election be forced (GE14) by the likelihood of Anwar Ibrahim being released as early as April?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That is the argument posited by Ucanews when commenting on speculation that GE14 will be held in March or April.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Bangkok-based news portal said Najib is likely to call for a general election after the Chinese New Year to capitalise on using the festive celebration to make inroads into regaining some of the votes from the second biggest ethnic group in the country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first day of Chinese New Year falls on Feb 16 and the festival ends 14 days later with Chap Goh Meh on March 2.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was previously reported that Anwar might be released as early as April, though no reasons were given as to why this is so.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On Nov 6 last year, Anwar’s daughter, and Lembah Pantai MP, Nurul Izzah, had been quoted as saying that the family were hopeful that the former opposition leader would be out of the Sungei Buloh prison a month or two before his expected June 2018 release date.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anwar was jailed for five years in February 2015 after being convicted of sodomy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, he could be released early as prisoners are usually given a one-third reduction on their jail term for good behaviour. He has so far served 35 months out of his 60-month sentence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Though the former deputy prime minister would still be ineligible from standing as a candidate due to his conviction, the government is aware of his drawing power and eloquence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Najib may also be advised on the timing based on the expected positive mood in the financial markets during the Lunar New Year festive period, according to Ucanews.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In 2013, Najib waited till the last possible month before Parliament would automatically dissolve, and elections would need to be called. He made the announcement on the dissolution of Parliament on April 3, and the general election was held on May 5.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This time around, he has until June 24, which is when the term of the current Parliament lapses. The polls must then be called within two months, but the prime minister has the prerogative to dissolve Parliament earlier.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Federal Constitution states that a general election needs to be called when Parliament is dissolved or it reaches a maximum term of five years. The current Parliament kicked off its term on June 24, 2013.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>KUANTAN</b>: A 16-year-old teenager, who was allegedly abducted by a man impersonating a policeman yesterday, was found safe in Raub today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Raub district police chief Supt Wan Mohd Zahari Wan Busu said Nur Syaminn Nabila Mohd Shapawi was found at 11.05am at a bus station after she contacted her family members and informed them that she was in town.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“The victim claimed to have boarded the bus from Kuala Lumpur to Raub and was immediately picked up at the bus station and taken to Raub Hospital and Kuala Lipis for an examination,” he said when contacted here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wan Mohd Zahari said police were still trying to locate the suspect who pretended to be a police sergeant who was recently posted to the Sungai Ruan police station, when he abducted the victim.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The dark-skinned, thin suspect, who introduced himself as Faiz, was believed to have tricked the victim’s mother by saying he needed the girl’s help to take his newly-purchased motorcycle from a shop in Sungai Ruan to his house, which was in the vicinity. The last she saw was her daughter leaving in the suspect’s car.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“We hope the public will not speculate or make assumptions regarding the case as investigations are ongoing,” he said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He said the case was being investigated under Section 363 and Section 170 of the Penal Code for abduction and impersonating a public servant.</span></div>

<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">BREAKING RUMOUR : MAJOR COMPONENT TO PULL OUT OF BN . . .</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Had a pow wow with some Bersatu and DAP folks this morning. Tomorrow is Bersatu's General Assembly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The General Assembly starts at 8:00 AM at Aras 7, Ideal Convention Centre Shah Alam, IDCC Mall, Jalan Pahat L 15/L, Seksyen 15, Shah Alam. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The BN is over folks. They are dead. There is serious doubt and infighting going on inside UMNO. Super Moron's gatekeepers have built a solid wall around the him. He is totally cut off from reality. He does not even know whether he is coming or going. The smart beggars in the entourage are singing his praises to the sky and lining their own pockets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Amidst all this I just heard something else. A major component party of the BN will announce a pullout from the BN. The time of the announcement has been suggested but I do not wish to reveal it here. Or by any private email either. Sorry. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once they make the announcement it is game over for the BN. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">More importantly, much much more importantly it is also a very clever move because it will put a cap on the "power sharing" that must fall into place with a Pakatan Harapan government. Meaning there will NOT be confusion, chaos or any one party holding an overwhelming majority in a Pakatan government. It will add significant "stability" to Pakatan Harapan. So dont worry folks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Just keep this in mind : "Zero Votes For The BN"</span><br />

<b><span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My comments</span></b> : <span style="color: blue;"> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I dont know if this moron was born stupid or if he was dropped on his head. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There is an election around the corner. In Malaysia every constituency has significant non muslim minorities. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The only places where the non Muslims do not really matter are Kelantan and maybe Terengganu. Obviousoly Hadi wants to keep the two states in the stone age.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When pas-pis-pus mursyidul am was struck by heart problems he went to the US for treatment. Obviously the kafir health and medical policies there have created a more Islamic system of health care.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Using jin to chase away the jembalang. But the jins were not able to heal him. The kafir doctors had treated him successfully before.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Oleh <a href="http://detikoffline.blogspot.my/2017/12/mengapa-harapan-yakin-akan-ada-kjaan.html"><b><span style="color: red;">Liew Chin Tong</span></b></a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Malaysia akan mempunyai kerajaan baru sekiranya Umno kalah 40 kerusi di Semenanjung Malaysia kepada Pakatan Harapan (HARAPAN).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jika 50 peratus pengundi Melayu memilih HARAPAN, pakatan pembangkang malah akan menubuhkan kerajaan dengan dua per tiga majoriti. Ini adalah realiti.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Justeru, saya terkejut dengan hakikat bahawa sesetengah penganalisis politik dan ahli politik enggan memahami dinamik pilihan raya dan demografik berkenaan faktor yang akan menentukan keputusan pilihan raya umum (PRU) akan datang.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Klise politik dan realiti</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Masalah paling besar di kalangan yang kononnya cerdik pandai ini adalah mereka suka mengulangi klise yang mereka sendiri tidak faham.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sesetengah mereka tidak anggap pengundi Melayu akan menukar undi secara beramai-ramai.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Penilaian mereka ini menggunakan hujah bahawa meskipun pengundi Melayu mengundi pembangkang sebelum ini, tiada pertukaran undi yang ketara di kalangan pengundi Melayu yang tetap mengundi Barisan Nasional dalam dua pilihan raya umum yang lalu.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dengan itu, mereka cuba menjustifikasikan teori mereka. Mereka melihat Sabah dan Sarawak sebagai agen perubahan dan bukannya Semenanjung.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82VVW8b0S6afrO0YHY5d0AqtwERNa5r7kEaRvGZ4kolwjVvkaDQOLs7eVtoS38OxbY3S89NCg3MzWFgunjAo-jUrmbXtvxM9CLH2wdrGBYDnt_7AE5qb76lbkGnkMCnHQJQ4L7zGWiV5D/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="1000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82VVW8b0S6afrO0YHY5d0AqtwERNa5r7kEaRvGZ4kolwjVvkaDQOLs7eVtoS38OxbY3S89NCg3MzWFgunjAo-jUrmbXtvxM9CLH2wdrGBYDnt_7AE5qb76lbkGnkMCnHQJQ4L7zGWiV5D/s400/2.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Menurut perkiraan saya pula, perubahan di Sarawak tidak ketara kerana gambaran yang diberikan kerajaan Sarawak yang seolah-olah mengamalkan politik pro-autonomi, selain keadaan muka bumi negeri itu.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sementara Sabah pula mempunyai situasi yang menarik. Pada PRU 2013, pembangkang cuma menang 3 kerusi parlimen. BN menang beberapa kerusi dengan kurang daripada 50 peratus undi popular yang disebabkan oleh pertembungan lebih daripada dua penjuru.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kini dengan kehadiran Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal sebagai pemimpin pembangkang baru di pantai timur, serta mendapat sokongan dari kalangan Kadazan-Dusun-Murut, pembangkang sebenarnya mampu menang sehingga 10 kerusi parlimen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bagaimanapun, pertarungan utama masih lagi di Semenanjung.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pertarungan rebut Semenanjung</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dalam PRU lalu, Umno menang 88 kerusi parlimen seluruh negara. Empat belas daripada jumlah itu adalah di Sabah dan satu di Wilayah Persekutuan Labuan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Daripada 73 kerusi di Semenanjung, kira-kira 30 daripada jumlah itu merupakan kawasan parlimen yang sangat kecil, selalunya sama saiz dengan jumlah peneroka Felda, selain terletak di kawasan pedalaman.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFUDPHhbMc6EwYXIuK_LoJ1oRqKFK4M8sNOe_uQjz_8KhjMGV5xU87Ze06m6ghn4szsEIJ5Ia6EQapNmlsAeunD4u_wxBlFkqRCVRoMESUKmjIG1iNID072gXghpSihNXA-oEKQHzxlu1V/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="1000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFUDPHhbMc6EwYXIuK_LoJ1oRqKFK4M8sNOe_uQjz_8KhjMGV5xU87Ze06m6ghn4szsEIJ5Ia6EQapNmlsAeunD4u_wxBlFkqRCVRoMESUKmjIG1iNID072gXghpSihNXA-oEKQHzxlu1V/s400/3.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Meskipun dengan pertukaran undi yang besar di kalangan pengundi Melayu, tidak mudah Pakatan Harapan memenangi kerusi-kerusi ini.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lebih 40 kerusi yang lain adalah kerusi campuran dengan majoriti Melayu yang mempunyai jumlah pengundi bukan Melayu yang agak besar menetap di kawasan itu. Kebanyakan kerusi ini terletak di kawasan separa bandar di mana sejumlah besar generasi mudanya tinggal di Kuala Lumpur dan kawasan metropolitan lain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pada PRU 2013, Pakatan Rakyat memenangi 80 daripada 165 kerusi. Ketika ini, PAS memegang 14 kerusi yang tidak lagi boleh dianggap kerusi HARAPAN. DAP pula kalah di Teluk Intan pada pilihan raya kecil pada 2014.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ketika ini, HARAPAN memperoleh parlimen Pagoh melalui penyertaan Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin dalam barisan pembangkang. Wakil HARAPAN keseluruhannya menyandang 66 kerusi di Semenanjung.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Cabaran pilihan raya untuk HARAPAN adalah untuk memenangi 100 daripada 165 kerusi di Semenanjung.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglPwowAPdCVyAxwbef58o7YNZjSqBMirvQhQbuye42kwsyjMQDbr7PnCKdxyy_6K_B0tLLu-78DKTrajoB4ntJcs4cFftSpZJyQdhu73zSbRmNwH5KDkBWcXtZW9c837UI_SgPi6464WJM/s1600/4.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="1000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglPwowAPdCVyAxwbef58o7YNZjSqBMirvQhQbuye42kwsyjMQDbr7PnCKdxyy_6K_B0tLLu-78DKTrajoB4ntJcs4cFftSpZJyQdhu73zSbRmNwH5KDkBWcXtZW9c837UI_SgPi6464WJM/s400/4.jpeg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sekiranya berjaya dicapai, ia bererti pertukaran undi yang besar di kalangan pengundi Melayu yang juga bereti pemilihan lebih ramai ahli parlimen Melayu berbanding bukan Melayu.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kedua-dua situasi ini penting bagi berdepan cabaran selepas pilihan raya dalam penubuhan kerajaan yang stabil oleh HARAPAN.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dengan kemenangan HARAPAN ke atas 100 atau lebih kerusi di Semenanjung, dengan 15 hingga 20 kerusi tambahan dikongsi bersama HARAPAN dan parti sekutu di Sabah dan Sarawak, ia dapat menjamin sebuah kerajaan baru ditubuhkan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mampukah HARAPAN menangi 100 kerusi di Semenanjung?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Meskipun tanpa mempertimbangkan kerusi di Kelantan dan Terengganu, sudah ada sekurang-kurangnya 40 kerusi yang dimenangi BN dengan majoriti kecil di pantai barat Semenanjung yang boleh dimenangi HARAPAN. (Demi menjaga kepentingan strategi, saya tidak akan namakan kerusi-kerusi ini, namun pembaca boleh membuat kajian sendiri untuk mengetahui kerusi-kerusi ini.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kelompok 1 – Perlis/Kedah - 10</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kelompok 2 – Pulau Pinang/Perak Utara - 7</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kelompok 3 – Selangor Utara/Perak Selatan - 8</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kelompok 4 – Muar (Johor) - 5</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kelompok 5 – Johor Selatan - 6</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kelompok 6 - Pahang - 4</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kerusi di Perlis dan Kedah kebanyakannya adalah kerusi dengan majoriti besar Melayu. Dengan faktor Mahathir, Kedah akan mempunyai dinamiknya sendiri.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kerusi marginal BN di pantai barat yang selebihnya adalah kebanyakannya mempunyai maksimum 65 peratus pengundi Melayu, yang bererti ia merangkumi jumlah pengundi bukan Melayu yang agak besar. Bagi kerusi pantai barat, faktor PAS boleh diabaikan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pertembungan tiga penjuru rugikan Umno</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Saya sebelum ini berhujah bahawa Umno akan mendapati strategi pertembungan tiga penjuru akan menutup peluang Umno berbanding HARAPAN untuk menang di kerusi marginal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Di kerusi campuran dengan majoriti Melayu, pengundi bukan Melayu lebih cenderung mengundi calon HARAPAN berbanding Umno atau PAS.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sekiranya sentimen antikerajaan di kalangan pengundi Melayu ketika ini bertahan, sesetengah penyokong Umno dan PAS pada PRU 2013 akan turut mengundi HARAPAN.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_rymltfExuzTltQokXn2aasQN697W3FSTujPX7HN8IpJDA21dzhfsc2zR_FMD6LLpF1GM_AIy3xx7veQDRkaYTqSa-mefDHRUX_XwNvcwye_xhyphenhypheneKiiegn7ylYh_VFufKF9XgoElKOMpz/s1600/5.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="1000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_rymltfExuzTltQokXn2aasQN697W3FSTujPX7HN8IpJDA21dzhfsc2zR_FMD6LLpF1GM_AIy3xx7veQDRkaYTqSa-mefDHRUX_XwNvcwye_xhyphenhypheneKiiegn7ylYh_VFufKF9XgoElKOMpz/s400/5.jpeg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Umno pula memerlukan penyokong setia Presiden PAS Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang untuk mengundi calon Umno berbanding memberikan undi kepada PAS di kerusi pantai barat yang mana PAS tidak mempunyai peluang untuk menang.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tidak mengejutkan sekiranya dalam masa terdekat ini Umno yang akan mengarahkan agar strategi tiga penjuru tidak digunakan. Perdebatan tentang tiga penjuru ketika ini, termasuk di kalangan penyokong pembangkang, sebenarnya hanya membuang masa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Timbalan Perdana Menteri yang juga merupakan Timbalan Presiden Umno Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi dan Menteri Kebudayaan dan Pelancongan Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz masing-masing memberi amaran secara terbuka berkenaan strategi tiga penjuru yang mungkin merugikan Umno.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Difahami, kerusi Bagan Datok (kerusi Zahid) dan Padang Rengas (kerusi Nazri) merupakan kawasan pantai barat seumpamanya yang saya gambarkan di atas.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kejutan lain buat Umno adalah apabila Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak mengadakan mesyuarat dengan pemimpin Umno Kelantan baru-baru ini di kediaman Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dalam mesyuarat itu, Najib diberitahu bahawa Umno Kelantan tidak berhasrat bertembung dengan PAS di setiap kerusi. Keengganan pemimpin peringkat negeri Umno untuk bekerjasama dengan PAS telah membantutkan strategi rapuh pertembungan tiga penjuru Najib.</span><br />

<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Medan pertempuran separa bandar</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Memandangkan HARAPAN (dan begitu juga sebelum ini Pakatan Rakyat) sebelum ini lebih berpengaruh di kawasan bandar, memahami jiwa pengundi separa bandar adalah penting bagi menjamin kemenangan pembangkang.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">HARAPAN perlu mencipta pakatan pembangkang mesra rakyat yang berpotensi menang yang mampu menarik sekurang-kurangnya separuh daripada pengundi Melayu dan melonjakkan sokongan yang besar daripada bukan Melayu.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Saya tidak pernah kata ia kerja mudah. Apa yang saya kata adalah Umno dan BN kini sangat rapuh di kawasan separa bandar di pantai barat, iaitu kerusi campuran dengan majoriti Melayu yang dimenangi BN dengan majoriti tipis pada PRU 2013.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dari satu sisi, kawasan-kawasan ini ibarat “Rust Belt” pembangkang, iaitu kawasan yang dulunya mempunyai industri yang pesat membangun namun kini terjejas akibat ekonomi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jika Umno kalah lebih kurang 40 kerusi ini dengan pertukaran undi yang memihak kepada HARAPAN, semestinya ia akan melahirkan sebuah kerajaan baru.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">RA ra Rasputin</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lover of the Russian queen</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There was a cat that really was gone</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ra ra Rasputin</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Russia's greatest love machine</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was a shame how he carried on. - Boney M, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AaTvyIuvE0&feature=youtu.be"><span style="color: red;">Rasputin</span></a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Contemporary historians had credited the allegedly amorous relationship between Russian Queen, Tsarina Alexandra, and the mystic Grigori Yefimovic Rasputin with the eventual fall of the Russian monarchy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">According to Wikipedia, in late 1906 Rasputin began acting as a healer to Alexei, the only son of Tsar Nicholas II and his wife. Alexei, who was the heir to the throne, suffered from haemophilia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rasputin was a divisive figure, seen by some Russians as a mystic, visionary, and prophet, and by others as a religious charlatan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The high point of Rasputin's power was in 1915, when Nicholas left St Petersburg to oversee Russian armies fighting World War 1, increasing both Alexandra and Rasputin's influence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As Russian defeats in the war mounted, however, both Rasputin and Alexandra became increasingly unpopular. In the early morning of 30th December 1916, Rasputin was assassinated by a group of conservative noblemen who opposed his influence over Alexandra and the Tsar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finally the people rose against the Tsar and on the nights of July 16 and 17, 1918 the Tsar, his wife and five children were put to death. Their horrifying end was no better than that of King Louis XVI of France and his hated Queen, Marie Antoinette, 125 years earlier.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But the Russian monarchy was not alone to fall victim of mystics and religious deviationists. Many other empires, kingdoms and sultanates had also fallen under the spell of Rasputin-like characters. Some perished as a result.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These characters – male and female – came in many forms and varied names. They are called shamans, soothsayers, astrologers, bomoh, kiyai, pandit and pujari to name a few.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That emperors and empresses, kings and queens, sultans and sultanahs were so prone to being influenced by these usurpers was beyond comprehension. Maybe they thought they were dewa and devi and were generally detached from the real world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dwindling Monarchy</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In this day and age, however, there aren’t that many emperors, kings, sultans and sheikhs left to be exploited by modern day Rasputins.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As of this year, out of 193 member countries of the United Nations, only 28 have monarchs and most of them are constitutional figure heads.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But we in Malaysia are special. In addition to one supreme ruler – the Yang di-Pertuan Agong – we have nine state rulers (Sultan, Yam Tuan and Raja).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Around us many countries had done away with monarchy. At the time of Indian independence in 1947, there were 565 princely states with maharaja and maharani. Today there are none. They ceased to exist from 1971 when the Privy Purse was abolished.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Indonesia too had many kingdoms and sultanates. Some 220 kingdoms and sultanates had existed in Indonesia but today only a handful remain largely as cultural and historical entities. Countries like China, Vietnam, Laos and Burma had all done away with the monarchy totally.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Back to the shamans, soothsayers, astrologers, bomoh, kiyai, pandit, pujari, pawang buaya and ahli sihir, many have gone through transformation and adaptation, and continue to remain influential.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They are present at palace ceremonies and cultural celebrations of the rich and famous. Some of them – Muslims and non–Muslims - are known to have considerable influence over important state matters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hopefully our Rulers, being Muslims and guardians of the Islamic faith, are mindful of the deviant (khurafat) practices of these people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In Saudi Arabia, one of the few absolute monarchies in the world, sihir (black magic) is punishable by death.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also be mindful that in this day and age of instantaneous communication and the prevalence of social media, nothing is secret and sacred.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wallahua’lam. Only God knows</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>SUBANG JAYA</b>: Former finance minister Daim Zainuddin has questioned if the RM60 billion East Coast Railway Link (ECRL) project was a form of investment to the country, or if it is actually a loan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He said if the government has to repay the cost of the project — which reportedly will be funded through a loan from the Export-Import Bank of China — then it is the latter, not an investment like Putrajaya had claimed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“If it’s true that the project brings in money, then okay. How much investment does it bring (to the country)?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Does the train (ECRL) bring in money?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“If it’s a loan, it has to be paid back. If it has to be paid back, is that an investment? If you’re an investor, what would you say?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“(You would say) it’s not an investment, it’s a loan.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Daim was speaking to reporters after a closed-door dialogue session here today, urging the government to bring investments into the country so job opportunities will be made available to the people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He said this is a matter that has to be dealt with immediately, considering the fact that the public, including university graduates, are facing difficulty securing employment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Investments are important to create jobs. There are reports stating that many can’t get a job.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“So the government should create an environment where investors will come in, resulting in job opportunities.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“I read a report by Malaysian Trades Union Congress which spoke about retrenchment. So we have to address this issue immediately,” he said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Certain quarters have expressed concern over investments from China in Malaysia, especially on the aspect of the country’s sovereignty.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Prime Minister Najib Razak, however, has denied such claims, saying the government will continue to protect Malaysia’s independence.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Mazliwati Abdul Malek Chua</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>KOTA KINABALU</b>: The question of whether Malaya is masquerading as Malaysia has indeed opened the proverbial can of worms, particularly on the issue of reviewing the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), says Parti Warisan Sabah.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Warisan supreme council member Mazliwati Abdul Malek Chua said the question asked by political activist Zainnal Ajamain and reported by FMT, was a bombshell that could seriously hamper any attempt to discuss the MA63.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“When Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman said the Sabah government is in the process of negotiating MA63, who are they negotiating with?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“By right, according to Article VIII of the MA63, Sabah should be negotiating with the Federation of Malaya.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“We do not see this government of Malaya anymore. In its place, we see the federal government but it does not and should not represent the government of Malaya,” she said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mazliwati, a lawyer, said any negotiation or review of the MA63 would require the presence of all representatives from the four signatories, that is Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and the United Kingdom of Britain (Singapore left Malaysia in 1965).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She added that it was also not enough to only include Sabah, Sarawak and Malaya in the discussion as the MA63 was an international treaty and was filed with the United Nations (UN).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She said to have the current federal government sit as the representative of the Federation of Malaya was wrong because the current federal government comprised leaders from Sabah and Sarawak as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“The presence of Sabahans and Sarawakians in the federal government means this is not a Federation of Malaya.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Yet, the government of the Federation of Malaya must exist and cannot be represented by mere appointees.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“We are talking about an international treaty here, which means government to government,” she said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mazliwati said Sabahans and Sarawakians were tired of the political games played by the BN government when it came to delivering what was due to them, and were eager to go back to the discussion table to address the breaches committed over the past five decades.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She pointed out that many leaders in Sabah, and especially in Sarawak, were more than ready to present their case but could not proceed further other than talking to the press and delivering sugar-coated statements about upcoming “negotiations” or discussions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“The truth is, they also do not know who to talk to because the prime minister is not a representative of the Federation of Malaya. He is the representative of Malaysia. Why should we talk to him?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Musa said he is in the process of negotiating the agreement, presumably with the current federal government, which means he either doesn’t know MA63 or he is duping the people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“I don’t see any other way. But I hope it will not take another 50 years before we see any progress. Sabahans demand their rights now, as 54 years is long enough a wait.”</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">KEHILANGAN kedua-dua kaki, menggunakan kerusi roda dan berisiko ditembak mati tidak menghalang Ibrahim Abu Thurayeh, 29 untuk memprotes tindakan Donald Trump mengisytiharkan Baitulmaqdis sebagai ibu kota Israel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Malah, sebelum maut ditembak oleh askar Israel, protes semalam bukanlah protes dan pertembungan pertama Ibrahim dengan askar Israel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ibrahim yang didakwa kehilangan kedua-dua kakinya pada 2014 dilaporkan sebelum ini aktif menyertai pertembungan diantara penduduk Palestin dan askar rejim Zionis di bandar Gaza dan Tebing Barat.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dalam kebanyakan foto yang merakam Ibrahim, soldadu OKU berkenaan dilihat dengan berani mara berkerusi roda sambil mengibarkan bendera Palestin, tatkala rakan seperjuangan tunduk mengelak hujan peluru getah dan bom pemedih mata.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hamba ALLAH S.W.T. tersebut akhirnya gugur semalam selepas ditembak di sempadan berhampiran bandar Gaza.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mangsa yang dibawa ke hospital al-Shifa di bandar sama diisytiharkan meninggal dunia oleh petugas perubatan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ketika ini, beribu-ribu lagi rakyat Palestin berterusan bersemangat bangkit untuk menentang penjajahan haram oleh Israel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ekoran pengisytiharan 'muka tak malu' Presiden Amerika Syarikat, dijangka lebih hebat lagi protes-protes yang akan bukan sahaja dijalankan di Palestin, malah di seluruh dunia.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Walaupun negara-negara paling berpengaruh di dunia seperti Amerika Syarikat 'membenarkan' kewujudan negara haram Israel, semangat juang penduduk Palestin tidak pernah rapuh walaupun sudah ramai yang gugur menyembah bumi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bayangkan jika ada penceroboh pecah masuk rumah anda dan mendakwa sebahagian rumah anda kononnya hak milik mutlak mereka.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tak cukup dengan itu, 'jiran-jiran rumah' di sekeliling 'rumah' anda buat tidak peduli dan tidak tahu, malah ada jiran yang bersetuju dengan kata penceroboh tersebut.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">WASHINGTON</span>: An estimated 40,000 people traveled from around the world to take up arms for the Islamic State group as it occupied territory in Syria and Iraq and declared a caliphate in 2014.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A few hundred are believed to still be fighting as IS struggles to survive, having lost most of its territory to campaigns by Western-backed Syrian and Iraqi coalition armies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But what happened to the rest?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Many thousands were certainly killed in the intense fighting, but US experts believe many have survived, posing a formidable threat going ahead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“The issue is: how many have died? How many are still there and willing to fight? How many have gone elsewhere to fight?” said Seth Jones, director of the International Security and Defense Policy Center at the Rand Corporation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“How many have given up? I don’t think we have a good answer.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">International counterterror groups are putting huge efforts into answering those questions, working hard to name, count and track IS foreign fighters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In France, officials say, around 1,700 people went to Iraq and Syria since 2013 to join IS. Of those, 400 to 450 have been killed, and 250 returned to France.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said on December 8 that about 500 are still in the Iraq-Syria theater, and for them it is now very hard to return to France.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But that leaves another 500 whose whereabouts are unknown, many of them with the skills of war, wielding weapons and making bombs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">‘One-way ticket’</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Terrorism specialist Bruce Hoffman of Georgetown University estimated during a conference Wednesday that “thousands” have escaped the war zone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Today, some of them are most likely in the Balkans, lying low for the time being, waiting for the opportunity to infiltrate themselves to the rest of Europe,” he said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some have traveled to other jihadist fronts, according to Thomas Sanderson, of the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ Transnational Threats Project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For example, he said, at least 80 IS fighters from Morocco, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Yemen have joined since May the IS-allied Abu Sayyaf insurgents battling government forces in the southern Philippines.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Local people in the northern Afghanistan province of Jowzjan have told AFP that French-speaking IS veterans — from France or northern African countries — have recently set up camp there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And they also have the option of other conflict zones in northern Africa, like Libya, Somalia, Yemen and elsewhere where jihadist groups akin to IS are conducting violent insurgencies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The defeat of IS on the battlefield in Syria in Iraq did not close off escape routes. IS fighters were able to blend in with civilian refugees or bribe their way to sneak into Turkey.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Many don’t have much choice but to continue to fight: they never had a plan to return to their home countries, where they face imprisonment in most cases, according to Jones.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“For many, it was a one-way trip. They wanted to live in the caliphate, permanently. So we don’t see a major move back.”</span></div>
