An example….for so long the intelligentsia have been so insulted…

BN government does not care one iota about their learned and professional opinion, let alone their sincere advice for the sake of the betterment of the nation…

for how long and how much more will the majority of the intelligentsia take everything lying down?

The people depend on their every and continued act of bravery in protest of injustice and falsehood.

Said a friend: BN suka “kamcing” dengan orang pandir-pandir (well, to employ the word “bodoh” here, nanti mereka tersinggung pula)…sebab dengan orang pandir-pandir BN boleh buat mereka ikut telunjuk BN yang sarat sesarat-saratnya dengan segala nilai yang lupa kepada KeEsaan Tuhan.

Mereka (BN) akan “membujur lalu, melintang patah” dengan kerana Kuasa dan Kekayaan dan untuk mengekalkan keduanya.

There is NO hope in BN to do much good for the nation’s future and generation.

Nazri shoots down Bar’s views at law confab

Soon Li Tsin Oct 29, 07 2:16pmMalaysiakini.com

De facto law minister Nazri Abdul Aziz is making his presence felt at the 14th Malaysian Law Conference but is not sharing any of the Bar Council’s views on judicial reform. The minister shot down various proposals raised by Malaysian Bar head S Ambiga in her welcoming address in Kuala Lumpur this morning. Ambiga said the crisis in 1988 had eroded public confidence in the judiciary and pointed out the importance of a truth and reconciliation process. However, Nazri told reporters later that the erosion of public confidence in the judiciary is a matter of perception. “That’s their perception which may not necessary be mine. What is (meant by) ‘public’? Does it mean 1,000 to 2,000 people or the whole nation? We respect opinions but the government has its own perception so we agree to disagree,” he said. “They (Bar Council) are talking from a legal point of view (but) we (the government) run a country. We’re looking from the summit of the mountain and they are looking (from) their eye level.” Exception to the norms The Bar president also called for the abolition of laws allowing for detention without trial, and revocation of emergency proclamations and emergency ordinances. “The council takes the stand that laws relating to detention without trial must be repealed in keeping with the country’s pledge to uphold universal values in all aspects of national development,” she said. “The powers of detention without trial remains an exception to the norms of any fair, just, equitable and democratic society.” Such laws include the Internal Security Act, Emergency (Public Order and Prevention of Crime) Ordinance 1969, Dangerous Drugs (Special Preventive Measures) Act 1985 and Restricted Residence Act 1933. Ambiga also called for the repeal of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 and Sedition Act 1948 as they have “outlived their use”. “We live in the age of the Internet now. There is little point in controlling the press if it only means that the news will easily find its way into cyberspace,” she told about 700 delegates present. Responding, Nazri maintained that these laws were still needed to keep peace and stability in the country. “There are laws that seem to be outdated but the peace and stability that you experience now is very much because of [...] fact that we have to stop some of the people raising emotional, racial issues,” he countered. It is not without a cost you experience the stability now. I still maintain that we still need these laws.” Asked whether Chief Justice Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim’s tenure will be extended, the minister said he hasn’t heard anything. “I have not heard anything. You can ask the prime minister tonight (when he attends dinner),” he added. ‘Undertake major reforms’ Declaring open the conference, Sultan Azlan Shah of Perak said public perception of the judiciary matters. “The principal quality that the judiciary must possess is impartiality. It means that judges are not only free from influence of external forces but also of one another,” he said. The former Lord President had the delegates in stitches when he mistakenly said “there are good lawyers and bad judges” (when he meant “bad lawyers”) before smilingly correcting his error. He also said judges should resist socialising with business personalities and other well-connected people. He added that it is time for the country to undertake major reforms in its commercial court structure and procedures to compete with other countries. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi cancelled his appearance at the opening ceremony at the eleventh hour, to officiate the launch of the East Coast Economic Region project. However, he is scheduled to read his keynote address at a dinner hosted by him for conference participants today. The three-day conference with the theme ‘50 Years of Independence’ covers a comprehensive selection of topics – from the Federal Constitution, the country’s legal system after 50 years, the rights of the stateless and indigenous people, freedom of expression in arts, freedom of information to the role of Asean in Burma.

Wha..? Another monopoly and very high risk of abuse of authority?

and it comes from SUHAKAM?

————————————————————————

Suhakam: Lantik JTM jadi ejen tunggal pekerja asing

PUTRAJAYA 18 Okt. – Suruhanjaya Hak Asasi Manusia (Suhakam) mencadangkan kerajaan melantik Jabatan Tenaga Manusia (JTM) sebagai agensi tunggal yang bertanggungjawab membawa masuk pekerja asing ke negara ini.

Pesuruhjaya Suhakam, Datuk N. Siva Subramaniam berkata, pada masa ini terdapat lebih 200 syarikat diberi kelulusan oleh kerajaan untuk mengambil pekerja asing, namun masih terdapat banyak ejen yang beroperasi secara haram.

Katanya, JTM yang diletakkan di bawah Kementerian Sumber Manusia lebih mengetahui mengenai keperluan tenaga asing dalam sektor-sektor tertentu di negara ini.

Menurut beliau, sekiranya langkah itu dilaksanakan, kemasukan pekerja asing dapat dikurangkan dan sekali gus menyelesaikan pelbagai masalah berkaitan.

‘‘JTM lebih mengetahui bidang mana yang kritikal dan memerlukan pekerja asing. Kadangkala ejen tidak tahu soal ini. Yang mereka tahu hanya bawa masuk seberapa banyak pekerja asing.

‘‘Setelah masuk ke Malaysia, kadangkala pekerja asing terbabit tidak mendapat pekerjaan seperti yang dijanjikan, selepas itu bermulalah segala macam masalah hingga ada yang mengambil kesempatan tinggal secara haram di negara ini,’’ katanya pada sidang akhbar di sini hari ini.

Terdahulu, Siva Subramaniam mengadakan lawatan ke pusat pekerja asing di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa KL (KLIA) dekat sini. Turut hadir ialah Timbalan Ketua Imigresen KLIA, M. Saravana Kumar.

Menurut Siva Subramaniam, jika diberi kuasa membawa masuk pekerja asing, JTM juga boleh mengadakan perbincangan dengan rakan mereka di negara-negara lain berhubung pengambilan pekerja asing ke Malaysia.

‘‘Saya pasti agensi yang sama seperti JTM turut ditubuhkan di negara-negara seperti Indonesia, India, Bangladesh dan sebagainya.

‘‘Selain itu, JTM juga boleh mengadakan perbincangan dengan pihak kedutaan asing di negara ini ketika proses kemasukan pekerja asing dari negara masing-masing dijalankan,’’ ujarnya.

Beliau menambah, Suhakam akan mengemukakan cadangan itu kepada kerajaan dalam tempoh terdekat.

‘‘Cadangan ini bukan bertujuan untuk merosakkan perniagaan ejen-ejen pengambilan pekerja asing sebaliknya mahu memastikan keselamatan negara dan rakyat terjamin,’’ katanya.

Kebebasan berpolitik semarak dalam Parti Keadilan Rakyat!

Rakyat bebas dengan rentak politik mereka tanpa diugut, digertak, ditekan dan ditarikbalik keistimewaan mereka…

Ahli bebas keluar atau masuk parti, dengan pandangan politik masing-masing tanpa sebarang halangan.

Berbeza dengan Umno-BN yang dilaporkan oleh bekas ahli-ahli mereka…sebagai menyusahkan hidup mereka.

Dan walaupun puluhan ribu dah keluar parti, nama mereka tetap disimpan oleh Umno…

Najib dan Umno pandir tentang politik alternatif.

Mereka tidak akan faham betapa bagusnya mereka yang terasa nak keluar parti, keluar dengan rela…

Sebenarnya, Umno-BN lah yang sudah menjadi tidak releven pada majoriti rakyat jelata yang berada dalam kesempitan hidup, tiada tempat untuk mengadu…kecuali jika menjadi ahli Umno-BN; itupun lihat dulu kem mana yang disokongnya.   Yang pentingnya Umo-BN hanya menunggu masa untuk untuk pupus.

For starters, boleh cuba periksa siapa dia 2003 orang yang menerima wang zakat dari Najib tu…

MIUP bukti PKR ada masalah dalaman – Najib

PEKAN 7 Okt. – Penubuhan Parti Bersatu India Malaysia (MIUP) oleh bekas Ketua Bahagian Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Kepong, Datuk S. Nallakaruppan memberi gambaran PKR kini berhadapan dengan masalah dalaman yang mampu menggugat keutuhan parti tersebut.

Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak berkata, walau apa juga yang berlaku dalam PKR, beliau tetap menunggu kenyataan rasmi daripada Nallakaruppan tentang pendiriannya terhadap penubuhan MIUP itu.

‘‘Mungkin ada masalah dalaman yang besar dalam Parti Keadilan, sebab itulah Datuk Nalla tidak bersama lagi dalam Keadilan dan mengambil keputusan untuk menubuhkan partinya sendiri.

‘‘Saya tunggu komen setelah Datuk Nalla mengeluarkan kenyataan rasmi tentang pendiriannya itu,” kata Najib kepada pemberita selepas menghadiri Majlis Penyampaian Sumbangan Zakat di sini hari ini.

Semalam, Nallakaruppan yang juga seorang ahli perniagaan mengumumkan penubuhan parti politik baru MIUP yang mewakili kaum India dengan beliau sendiri akan menjadi Presiden parti itu.

Menurut Najib, dalam sistem demokrasi berparlimen, pihak- pihak tertentu boleh menubuhkan parti politik dan terpulang kepada rakyat untuk menentukan siapakah yang mereka hendak beri sokongan.

Timbalan Perdana Menteri menjelaskan, sokongan yang bakal diperoleh juga tertakluk kepada dasar-dasar yang diperjuangkan oleh parti berkenaan.

‘‘Terpulang kepada rakyat untuk menentukan siapa yang mereka sokong. Dasar yang diperjuangkan juga ditentukan oleh parti yang ditubuhkan oleh Datuk Nalla itu,” ujarnya.

Terdahulu, dalam ucapannya pada majlis tersebut Najib berkata, semakin ramai golongan korporat di negara ini mulai sedar akan kepentingan untuk mengeluarkan zakat.

Beliau memberitahu, kesedaran tersebut juga mencerminkan kejayaan pemerintahan negara yang mampu mentadbir negara dengan baik dan berkesan.

Najib berharap kecemerlangan itu dapat dikekalkan bagi membolehkan ekonomi negara dapat berkembang dengan lebih baik.

‘‘Umat Islam di negara ini sepatutnya bersyukur kerana penduduk miskin mendapat pembelaan yang sewajarnya dan kita perlu mengambil iktibar daripada kejadian yang menimpa masyarakat Islam di negara luar,” katanya.

Pada majlis itu, seramai 2,003 penduduk kurang berkemampuan menerima wang zakat sebanyak RM200 setiap seorang yang disumbangkan oleh beberapa syarikat seperti Amanah Raya, Naluri dan Felda. Tokoh korporat dari Pahang yang turut menyumbang ialah Datuk Sharif Shamsudin.

An emulation of another party is not an easy admission, is it?

Surely the Opposition is a very good thing for the people with the likes of BN as a ruling coalition – as admitted by Gerakan’s Youth Chief: “…the problems on bureaucracy inefficiency, ‘little Napoleans’ and corruption…” stick like glue under the BN’s governance of the nation.

And surely BN knows that the Opposition does not exist to win mere few votes – the Opposition is the mirror of the people’s sentiments. Let loose the avenues for freedom of expression and BN will see the REAL sentiment of the people.

Gerakan Youth calls for a single BN party

Oct 5, 07 10:56amMalaysiakini.com

In an unusual move, Gerakan Youth chief Mah Siew Kong today called for the merger of all 14 parties in the ruling BN coalition in order to achieve national unity. “The time has now come for us to be one single party, the BN Party,” he said in his opening speech at the Youth wing’s annual meeting which started today at the party’s headquarters in Kuala Lumpur. His proposal received a thunderous support from his party members. Umno Youth chief Hishammuddin Hussein, who is also the BN Youth chief, was seen nodding at Mah’s suggestion but did not clap along with the crowd. “The creation of one party from a coalition of all component parties would need much effort, commitment and cooperation from everyone,” added Mah. “Discussions too are needed to be done and can take some years but Gerakan Youth believe that after 50 years of independence, we have to take the first step to unite all 14 component parties to become one,” he said. Mah also took a swipe at the opposition parties, claiming that they would twist and exploit current issues to win votes. “The opposition will seek victory without considering the nation’s interest by playing up racial issues and religious sentiments,” he said. He said that the DAP would be playing the Chinese sentiments while PAS would be evoking the Malay sentiments in the run-up to the general election. PKR, he charged, would be playing the sentiments of both the races just to win some votes. Mah also touched on the rampant corruption epidemic which is plaguing the nation today. “We still face the problems on bureaucracy inefficiency, ‘little Napoleans’ and corruption. We know there are officials who are corrupt. Until today, how many of them have been dismissed?” “The government need to take firm action against these bad apples… we have to show them that enough is enough and we mean business,” he said. Later, speaking to reporters, Mah said his suggestion was not to imply that current ties among BN component parties were not good enough. “Someone has to take the first step. A great number of issues have been turned racial lately,” he said. Listen to grouses Meanwhile, Gerakan Wanita head Tan Lian Hoe, in her opening remark to her delegates, said the government should allow for a proper and free platform for the people to air their grievances, however sensitive the issues might be. “It is only right that the government listen to their grouses. The government should be more open and transparent in dealing with issues affecting the rakyat, especially when they involve sensitive issues,” she said. She added that the government should exercise “maturity, prudence as well as great responsibility” in searching for acceptable solutions to problems of sensitive nature. “Unless we address these sensitive issues head on in an open and transparent manner, the seeds of dissatisfaction and the conflict among our grassroots will continue to spread,” she warned. “The people are worried about their future and that of their children and grandchildren in 50, 100, 500 or 1,000 years from now. “Their fear and worries stem from the direction that the country is heading to since the independence. “There is the question of diminishing integrity, the issue of meritocracy, excessive focus on Islamic issues, weaknesses in public administration, the abuse of power by those in authority, judicial integrity, security and others,” she added in her hard-hitting speech. She said that everyone should stop exploiting sensitive issues that hurt others as political tools to gain support. “We must learn to live in harmony according to the principles of the Federal Constitution, Rukun Negara and the 2020 vision.” She also touched on the alarming crime rate in the country, urging the government to carry out a comprehensive study to identify the sources of the problem and address them appropriately. “We must remember failure to secure the safety in our own country will spell disaster.” http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/73241

Why then become Pak Turut(s)?

AND LITTLE WONDER THE PEOPLE HAVE NO TRUST IN THE POWERLESS INDEPENDENT BODY…Moreover, a panel easily irked by a bunch of reporters is clearly suspect in carrying out their duties in the calm manner expected of them. Of course they must answer ALL questions posed by the people…of course all things happening to them are quite the normal expectations…they are expected to manage them well…resign if they can’t stand the heat… the future of the nation is at stake…pathetic when learned people become mere puppets… ———————————————————————————————————————————————— Haidar: We have no power

Beh Lih Yi Oct 3, 07 8:28pmMalaysiakini.com

The three-member panel probing the authenticity of the ‘VK Lingam’ video admitted that it is powerless, including in compelling witnesses to come forward or to extend protection for them. “We have no power,” was the blunt remark from panel head Haidar Mohd Noor. He was speaking at a packed press conference after chairing the panel’s maiden meeting, which lasted for three hours, at the Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) office in Kuala Lumpur. Haidar, who is the former Chief Judge of Malaya, was repeatedly asked why witnesses would want to testify before the panel if they cannot be accorded any form of protection. At one point, he said witnesses could turn to departments like the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) for protection. Earlier, Haidar urged those with personal knowledge regarding the video clip or could help in ascertaining its authenticity to come forward. Another panel member, former Court of Appeal judge Mahadev Shankar said although there was no protection, witnesses should come forward “for the sake of Malaysia”. “The truth is the best armour, justice is the best protection,” he stressed. The third panel member, National Service Training Council chairperson Lee Lam Thye, was also present but refrained from making any comments. Lingam will not be called Meanwhile, Haidar also said that it does not plan to call senior lawyer VK Lingam to appear before the panel because it is “not our role” to do so. “If he wants to come… I don’t know,” he said. At this juncture, Mahadev interjected: “By the way, do you (journalist) know where he (Lingam) is? Have you got a hotline to (contact) him by any chance? Maybe you can help us.” On the criticisms regarding the panel’s limited terms of reference, Haidar said: “(We have to go) step by step and then leave it to the government to decide.” This morning, the panel met with Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail, Inspector General-of-Police Musa Hassan and ACA director-general Ahmad Said Hamdan. However, Haidar refused to divulge what had transpired during the meeting apart from saying that the panel would work closely with these agencies in discharging its duties. The panel is expected to hold a second meeting with the AG, IGP and ACA top brass in two week’s time to discuss the evidence that have been gathered. Haidar also did not reveal in detail as to how the panel was going to technically verify the authenticity of the clip. He said the panel had yet to decide on the form of the investigation, and whether it would be carried out as an open inquiry. The panel has 30 working days from Sept 27 - the day they were appointed by Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak - to complete its task. The time frame could be extended if need be. Mahadev also distributed copies of the letter of appointment – which included the panel’s terms of reference – to reporters. (see below) ‘Don’t throw stones at us’ In a related development, Haidar sidestepped questions regarding the objections raised over his appointment to head the panel. “I don’t want to enter into an argument. There is no point, there is no end to it,” he said, adding that the conscience of the panel members were clear in carrying out their role. This issue was first raised by Mahadev (far right) at the onset of the press conference when he told reporters that he was “very distressed” by the comments posted on websites and blogs regarding Haidar and Lee. “I ask all of you out there, don’t throw stones at us until we have finished our inquiry. “I respect freedom of speech, you can say what you want, but if you want us to do our work well as an independent panel, let us finish our work first as best as we can,” he added. Referring to a group of protestors who gathered at the Suhakam office this morning, Mahadev said: “Try and avoid demonstrating outside our door and all that, please-lah.” “We have got no vested interest here in what we are doing. All we want to do is to finish our job as quickly as possible and go home,” he added. The formation of the panel was prompted by the video clip released by PKR on Sept 19. The clip showed Lingam talking on the phone, purportedly with current Chief Justice Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim on the appointment of ‘friendly’ senior judges. The issue ignited an uproar, with numerous quarters calling for a royal commission of inquiry to look into the slide in the Malaysian judiciary. About a week after the clip emerged, Ahmad Fairuz issued a denial via de facto law minister Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz. Ahmad Fairuz, who was the chief judge of Malaya in 2002, said that it was not him at the end of the line. Lingam, who was said to be abroad when the video clip emerged, has yet to comment on the matter although he was said to have returned to the country.

SPECIAL REPORT: The Lingam tape

Sep 24, 07 2:26pm

The grainy eight-minute video footage was taken in 2002 at senior lawyer VK Lingam’s Kelana Jaya house. At that time, Mohamed Dzaiddin Abdullah was chief justice. Appointed in 2000, he was seen as a fresh break from his two previous predecessors – Mohd Eusoff Chin (1994-2000) and Abdul Hamid Omar (1988-1994).

Dzaiddin was to retire in 2003, and the video showed Lingam expressing concerned that the outgoing CJ was moving his ‘men’ into top judiciary posts. The conversation revolved around the urgent need to get Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim, then chief judge of Malaya – the judiciary’s No 3 – appointed as Court of Appeal president (No 2) and then chief justice (No 1). There was also the plan to get former attorney-general Mokhtar Abdullah, who was then a Federal Court judge, to replace Ahmad Fairuz as No 3.

To do that, Lingam had roped in tycoon Vincent Tan, a close crony of then prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, and Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, a key minister in PM’s Department. They were to talk to Mahathir on the appointment of judges.

Postscript

Ahmad Fairuz was appointed Court of Appeal president in December 2002 – months after the telephone conversation. Dzaiddin stepped down as CJ in 2003 and he was replaced by Ahmad Fairuz. Mokhtar, however, could not take the No 3 post as he was in coma after suffering from a fall in August 2002. He died in 2003. Ahmad Fairuz’ term as CJ will end in October 2007.

On Sept 19, Malaysiakini broke the story on the Lingam tape with the following report:
