LKS on ISA

by Citizen Journalist Chan Lilian

This is for my own personal reflections. Please view the above video and hear what YB Lim shared about his detention under the ISA twice.

So, in my entire life, I never even dream that I will one day sit down, one-to-one, and talk to the man himself. He is like that iconic symbol of the rocket. The white shirt, the shiny hair, square jaw, square shoulder and the glasses. I remember following his ceramahs in the 80s and early 90s but was never impressed because at that time, I was working in a company which DAP used as part of their election campaign. You know lah, I was faithful to my employer and when DAP kept accusing my bosses of things, I surely defend my company, right? Corruption (to me back then) is but a mere ‘kamcheng’ I scratch your balls, you scratch my back kind of ‘friendship’.

Then, the only two times I saw Lim Kit Siang in person was at the Air Putih service centre opening. I was too nervous to even ask to have a photo taken with me. My hubby got impatient holding the camera, with me who whispered, “Aiyerrr..I dare not ask, but I want to take picture with him, how lah…sked….dunno he can scold me or not…..” So, my hubby the impatient man loud loud said, “Go lah…” and LKS heard and turned around so I boh pien had to meekly stood next to him and snap one photo.

Then, the second time was at LKS’s house because my sifu from Mkini asked me to go video. It was urgent. That was one nervous situation because I didn’t even know why I have to go to LKS’s house to cover what story.

For the ISA interview, actually, I was supposed to arrange for one of the CJ in KL to interview LKS. But somehow, he was in Penang so he gave me the green light. I tell you, I was damn nervous. Breakfast also tak lalu already cos tension betul. I got the appointment in the morning and already psyche myself ‘I think I can, I think I can, I think I can’. But lucky CM also gave me the appointment. So, after I went to Komtar, I feel less nervous already. Yet, I skipped lunch because I was still veerrrryyyy kancheong.

But it turned out that inspite of the very strict, very stern and very DAP facade, LKS in person is a very friendly. Phew…..Mrs. Lim is very sweet. She excused herself when I was interviewing YB Lim. We don’t usually see Mrs. Lim in the limelight but YB Lim paid tribute to her that the women are the bravest. Hmmm…one day I must get an exclusive interview with her because she must be one very extraordinary woman to went through so many trials and tribulations being Mrs. Lim and also the mother of the CM.

I am so thankful for the honour and opportunity to meet and talk to the man himself. After the interview, I cabut fast fast after a drink of water. Wuah…then only I realised I am very hungry and went to makan before I go home.

Islam kejam atau Islam rahmah?

SEBAGAI seorang Islam, saya tertanya-tanya wajah Islam bagaimanakah yang Malaysia mahukan? Negara Islam, Islam madani, Islam hadari, atau Islam "hududi"?

Apa pun jenamanya, tentu yang kita mahukan adalah Islam yang adil, rahmah, berihsan, penyayang, mesra kepada orang perempuan, prihatin terhadap orang yang kurang bernasib baik, dan Islam yang sentiasa bersangka baik pada manusia.

Akan tetapi, cara mahkamah syariah di Malaysia menangani kes Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarnor tidak mencerminkan Islam yang kita impikan itu.

Bertambah malang lagi apabila ada orang Islam dan pemimpin-pemimpin yang mengaku memperjuangkan Islam, bersorak gembira dengan hukuman keras yang dijatuhkan terhadap Kartika.

Selama ini, ulama dan pemimpin Islam begitu petah dan rancak sekali bila berbicara tentang keadilan dalam Islam. Namun, apabila timbul masalah sebenar di dalam masyarakat, nampaknya ramai yang kelam kabut dan teraba-raba mencari sinar keadilan itu. Kelihatan sukar sekali mereka menterjemahkan konsep adil itu dalam menangani realiti kehidupan masyarakat.

Sesungguhnya, ini adalah kesalahan pertama Kartika dan beliau telah pun mengaku bersalah. Maka, mengapa dia dikenakan hukuman maksima?

Adakah lebih berat sesuatu hukuman itu, maka semakin Islamlah ia?

Perbandingan dan persoalan

Bandingkan kesalahan Kartika yang tidak memudaratkan sesiapa pun dengan kesalahan mat-mat rempit dan peragut beg yang menjejaskan keselamatan orang ramai dan telah menyebabkan kematian. Dan juga dosa Kartika dengan dosa bapa-bapa tidak bertanggungjawab yang tidak membayar nafkah sara hidup anak-anaknya.

Selepas hukuman dijatuhkan, Kartika terus membayar denda RM5,000 yang dikenakan tanpa banyak soal. Justeru, adakah adil, berhikmah dan berihsan apabila mahkamah kemudiannya menambah lagi hukuman penjara tujuh hari di penjara Kajang?

Adakah orang yang selama ini mengaku memperjuangkan agama Allah dan menegakkan negara Islam mahukan Islam yang sadis, keras dan tidak berihsan?

Lupakah mereka tentang Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab yang berihsan sekali dan tidak menghukum pencuri yang mencuri akibat kemiskinan? Lupakah mereka tentang nasihat Allah: "Maka barangsiapa yang bertaubat sesudah melakukan kejahatan itu, dan memperbaiki diri, maka sesungguhnya Allah menerima taubatnya. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang." (Al-Quran, Surah Al-Maidah: 39)

Malah, banyak lagi ayat Al-Quran yang memberikan peringatan yang sama seperti Surah An-Nahl: 119 dan 125, dan Surah Al-An'am: 54.

Patutkah Jabatan Agama Islam Pahang yang telah memasukkan Kartika ke dalam van untuk dibawa ke penjara Kajang, tiba-tiba menukar fikiran dan memulangkannya semula ke rumahnya? Kemudian, ahli majlis mesyuarat kerajaan Pahang Datuk Mohd Sahfri Abdul Aziz mengeluarkan kenyataan bahawa Kartika akan disebat selepas bulan Ramadan pula. Apakah pantas Kartika dilayan seperti haiwan sarkas yang dimasukkan ke dalam sangkar, dilepaskan dan ditangkap semula sesuka hati?

Umat Islam harus jujur bertanya pada sanubari diri di bulan Ramadan yang mulia dan penuh rahmah ini — adilkah hukuman dan layanan ke atas Kartika?

Press Release: Abolish whipping for any offence

The Malaysian Bar is heartened to note that the authorities have apparently decided not to proceed with the sentence of whipping in Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno’s case.

As recently as at its 61st Annual General Meeting held on 17 March 2007, the Malaysian Bar resolved to denounce and reject whipping as a punishment for any offence as it is anachronistic and inconsistent with a compassionate society. Our position echoes international human rights norms that condemn whipping and other forms of corporal punishment as cruel, inhuman or degrading and call for its abolition. Moreover, there is empirical evidence to support the fact that whipping has failed as a retributory and deterrent sentence.

In Kartika’s specific case, there are additional compelling reasons to overturn the sentence, as there is serious doubt over the legality and propriety of the Kuantan Syariah High Court’s imposition of a supplementary sentence of imprisonment simply for the punishment of whipping to be carried out.

Under Malaysian civil law, the whipping of women is prohibited. The whipping of men in certain categories of age and health is also prohibited. The Government has committed itself to prevent the whipping of children under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. These are positive first steps in the journey towards a total prohibition against whipping as a form of punishment for all persons, regardless of age or gender, and whether under civil or Syariah law.

We call on the authorities to overturn the sentence of whipping handed down in Kartika’s case and the cases of those who were arrested with her. We strongly urge the Government to reject whipping as a form of sentencing for any offence, and to abolish it altogether.

Kartika to be caned after fasting month

by Nik Naizi Husin

KUANTAN: Model Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, who was scheduled to be caned this week for drinking beer, has been released temporarily as it is not advisable for the sentence to be meted out during the fasting month.

Pahang's Religious Affairs, Dakwah, Unity and NGOs Exco chairman Datuk Mohd Sahfri Abdul Aziz said the state Religious Department enforcement officers, had gone to Kartika’s house in Sungai Siput, Perak on Monday to issue a warrant of arrest for her to be sent to the Kajang Prison for the whipping sentence to be carried out.

"At the same time, they received a letter from the Attorney-General’s Chambers advising them to release Kartika temporarily as it was not advisable for her to undergo the punishment during the fasting month. "The sentence remains. She will be caned after the fasting month. She has been released but only temporarily," he said.

Meanwhile in KUALA KANGSAR, Kartika said she wants the whipping to carried out as scheduled.

Describing herself as "a football being kicked around", she questioned her status because the religious department had not given her any definite answer for not carrying out the punishment on her.

She was speaking with reporters at the Kuala Kangsar police station where she lodged a report to declare that she had not run away from the law and that the religious authorities had not taken her to the Kajang Prison as scheduled

Earlier Monday, AP had reported that the model, who was scheduled to be caned this week for drinking beer, had been released.

It said that three religious department officers wemt to her house in Sg Siput on Monday and took her away in a van. But they returned after about 30 minutes and said they had received “instructions from the higher powers” to release her, AP quoted Kartika’s father, Shukarno Abdul Muttalib, as saying.

The officials said that “for now, the sentence cannot be carried out,” Shukarno said.

Officials had said earlier that Kartika, a 32-year-old mother of two, would be caned sometime during the week but no specific date was set.

Badaruddin Ahmad Bustami, an Islamic Department official, said prison representatives suddenly informed department authorities who took custody of Kartika that they “cannot accept her.” He said the prison did not give any reasons.

“We don’t know what to do. We will discuss this with the Shariah court” to determine whether the sentence should be waived, Badaruddin told The Associated Press.

Prison Department officials could not immediately be reached.

Shukarno said he and his daughter would head to a district police station to file statements about her abrupt release. He said they were confused about what had happened and were worried that officials might later accuse his daughter of running away from them.

Kartika was arrested in a raid for drinking beer at a hotel lounge last year for breaching the Muslim-majority country’s Shariah law, which forbids Muslims to consume alcohol.

She was sentenced by a Syariah court in July in what was considered a warning to other Muslims to abide by religious laws. Kartika did not appeal and said she was willing to be caned.

Dressed in a full-length cream-and-red satin gown and a head scarf, Kartika emerged from her house and walked past a group of about 50 local Muslims who said prayers for her.

After a last kiss with her 5-year-old daughter, she got into the silver van along with her sister and the Islamic officials.

She did not speak to the horde of media assembled outside the house in Sg Siput.

In an interview with The Associated Press last week, Kartika had said she wants to be caned because “I want to respect the law.”

MENYAMBUT MERDEKA

1. Tahun ini kita akan sambut Hari Merdeka dengan menyebat seorang wanita Melayu kerana minum beer.

2. Cerita hukum sebat telah disebar luas di seluruh dunia. Saya tak tahu apakah ini akan memberi imej baik atau tidak baik kepada agama Islam. Sebagai orang Islam kita tidak harus ambil berat pandangan orang lain terhadap Islam dalam melakukan suruhan agama.

3. Tetapi benarkah hukuman ini tepat bagi jenayah minum arak? Apakah hukuman ini terdapat dalam undang-undang syariah di Malaysia.

4. Bagi undang-undang biasa jenayah ditentukan bersama dengan hukuman kepada pesalah yang didapati bersalah. Jika Kerajaan tidak mengkanunkan undang-undang syariah melalui proses perbahasan dan kelulusan oleh dewan-dewan undangan, atau melalui fatwa oleh ulama-ulama, bolehkah tulisan-tulisan ulama tertentu dijadikan asas hukum mengikut pendapat hakim?

5. Apakah ada larangan dalam Islam untuk mengkanunkan undang-undang syariah?

6. Saya tanya soalan ini kerana terdapat perbezaan pendapat terhadap hukuman yang telah dijatuhkan keatas wanita ini. Janganlah kata saya tak Islam dan akan masuk neraka. Saya cuma tanya.

7. Dalam Al-Quran terdapat 43 ayat yang menegaskan; "Apabila kamu hukum, hukumlah dengan adil". Apakah mungkin seorang hakim itu tidak adil ataupun tersilap dalam pertimbangannya? Apakah tidak ada dalam Islam belas kasihan bagi yang bersalah buat kali pertama?

8. Keadilan dan timbang rasa jelas menjadi ajaran yang utama dalam Islam. Mereka yang tidak adil dan tidak bertimbang rasa tidak mengikuti semangat keIslaman.

9. Mereka yang ahli dalam ilmu fiqah memanglah berhak menulis kitab berkenaan undang-undang Islam. Tetapi sebagai manusia biasa kemungkinan membuat tafsiran yang salah memang ada.

10. Islam mendesak supaya kita rujuk kepada Al-Quran apabila kekeliruan berlaku atau menemui jalan buntu.

11. Sudahkah kita rujuk kepada Al-Quran berkenaan dengan minum beer (arak) dan hukuman yang perlu dikenakan supaya keadilan tercapai? Tak perlu kita ambil berat pandangan orang tetapi umat manusia perlu tahu bahawa agama Islam menjunjung tinggi keadilan.

12. Saya harap pihak-pihak yang pakar dalam perkara ini dapat menunjuk ayat-ayat Al-Quran dan kitab-kitab yang dirujuk oleh hakim apabila hukuman ini dijatuhkan.

The saga of Yusri (the next Bala!) - Najib and his men “getting” to whistleblowers and YB’s one by one?

By Nathaniel Tan,

When the Rohaizat disbarring scandal broke out, my mind was still on the forum. Of late though, this ridiculous about turn by his ex-partner Yusri Isahak deserves some scrutiny.

Did somebody say Bala? :P

I feel like we’re in some movie where aliens are taking over human bodies all over the world, and you only have a few trusted friends. Until of course one day, the aliens get to them too. (like The Forgotten, roughly)

First:

Yusri Isahak, the former business partner of Rohaizat Othman, today vehemently refuted claims by Umno leaders that the party candidate was innocent from any wrongdoings.

“It’s a blatant lie to say that he never knew anything about the cooperative land and money transactions. Apart from me, he was also the legitimate signatory of the company accounts. To suggest that he was implicated by my wrongdoing is a lie,” Yusri (left) told journalists at a press conference at Yayasan Aman, Penanti today.

“He was also responsible for the misappropriation of the cooperative funds. It is unethical in the legal profession .. . Rohaizat was guilty of it.” He said that parties blaming him for being solely responsible for “swindling the cooperative money are lying.”

He said Rohaizat was lying if he claimed that he never knew about the company’s accounts transactions.

He also chided Umno information chief Ahmad Maslan for calling Rohaizat a hero for returning the money to the cooperative. “He refused and failed to attend the Bar Council disciplinary hearing on his case on Sep 14, 2007. He dared not explain himself in such a major allegation. How can Ahmad Maslan call him a hero? Either Ahmad Maslan does not know the truth or is pretending not to know it,” he said.

Then:

Keadaan ini membuatkan saya terpanggil untuk membuat sidang akhbar ini kerana saya merasa sedih melihat serangan-serangan peribadi yang dilakukan terhadap Rohaizat. (nat: maksud bang serangan yg bang sendiri buat?)

Saya tidak boleh berdiam diri apabila melihat kenyataan saya tempoh hari digunakan tanpa henti terhadap Rohaizat, seorang manusia yang saya kenal secara peribadi adalah seorang yang baik hati.

Seperti yang telah saya nyatakan sebelum ini, Rohaizat adalah kawan saya, saya tahu hati budinya dan dia anak jati Permatang Pasir. Dia sendiri telah lama menabur bakti di sini. Jika orang seperti Rohaizat dibiarkan dikeji dan dirosakkan nama baiknya semata-mata untuk kepentingan politik, akan hancurlah hidup seorang lagi manusia yang boleh membawa perubahan yang baik kepada masyarakat setempat.

Wah. Begitu ke?

Dunno man. Sure feels to me like the aliens got to him too. The same way they got to Bala.

(ps- also see Aisehman)

Now I’m afraid that the aliens are gonna go after the MACC whistle blower next.

Ah, or will they just dismiss the contents as nonsense? AG’s rep Tan Hock Guan (quite a colorful character, from grapevine mumblings) appears to have appointed himself spokesman for the police and said just that :P

Azizan Sends Letter To Remove Muhammad Radzhi As Exco

ALOR SETAR, Aug 24 (Bernama) -- Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak on Monday sent a letter to the Sultan of Kedah Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah requesting that Lunas state assemblyman Muhammad Radzhi Salleh be removed form his position as a state execuive councillor.

Azizan said a request by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) that Muhammad Radzhi's services be terminated and he be replaced with another person was also attached to the letter.

"His Highness accepted my letter. We wait for his decision. As long as he does not make a decision Mohd Radzhi is still an exco," Azizan told reporters after handing over the letter at Wisma Zakat here.

Yesterday, Mohd Radzhi announced he was quitting PKR and declared himself as an independent but that he would continue to hold the state's Tourism, Community Development and Human Resources Committee portfolio.

According to Azizan, Sultan Abdul Halim understood the matter after he told him that Mohd Radzhi was no longer a PKR member and was not qualified to be an executive councillor on the PKR quota.

"My meeting with His Highness was pleasant. I hope His Highness will consider the request but I do not know when he will make a decision," he said.

Azizan said Mohd Radzhi's replacement as executive councillor will only be discussed by PKR after the sultan had made a decision.

DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS BY DAP INDIAN LEADERS TO DIVERT THE ATTENTION FROM KG BUAH PALA.

Over the last 10 days I have personally come under criticisms from Indian DAP leaders who have defamed me by unfounded allegations that I had collected RM700, 000 up to millions of Ringgit to file the civil suit against the UK Government.

The series of allegations beginning from The Penang Deputy Chief Minister, Perak ADUN for Sungkai and finally by ex ISA detainee – all leaders of the Democratic Action Party which is leading the State Government in Penang which is embattled in the Land Scam involving the 200 year old Heritage village of Kg.Buah Pala. HINDRAF is committed to fight for justice and for the poor and defenceless people of Kg.Buah Pala. We acknowledge the previous BN Government under Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon robbed their ancestral land from them. The current Government, which promised the villagers that their Land would be returned to them should they, win the elections held in March 2008 have instead short changed the people of Kg.Buah Pala.

Over the last 2 months HINDRAF have vigorously campaigned to save this last remaining heritage village and in the process have raised various legitimate questions that the DAP led Government could not and dare not answer. In return Lim Guan Eng had instructed his Indian Party Lieutenants to divert attention by attacking and alleging HINDRAF have been compromised by the BN Government. When that allegation did not find its way in the minds of the people, they are now resorting with malicious and vindictive allegations that I have personally collected millions of Ringgit to fund the civil suit in UK and had misappropriated those funds.

After filing the civil suit in the UK in August 31st 2007, I had attended a total of 10 road shows throughout the country and more than 50,000 people have heard me speak and explain on the civil suit. I was prepared for these sort of allegations even then. All those speeches and participants were video recorded. I had in all those gatherings specifically said that I would never collect a single cent from the public to fund the civil suit. At the same time I also emphasised that I will never promise anyone a single ringgit out of the suit. . I had then distributed almost 100,000 leaflets informing the Malaysian Indians that we will never collect any funds and instead they could do their part by attending the mass gathering on November 25th 07. The 50,000 over people who attended the road shows perfectly understood that my struggle was a genuine attempt to highlight their plight, thus the wave of support on November 25th.

Apart from this our Press Statements and websites clearly warned the public not to be fooled should anyone seek funds for purpose of the civil suit.

The unfounded malicious and vindictive allegations by DAP leaders are defamatory and I will instruct my Lawyers within the next weeks to take the appropriate action. The purpose of the action is give all 3 DAP leaders the honour and opportunity to prove their allegations in the Court of Law. It is plainly obvious to me that these DAP leaders and many other cohorts of theirs envy of the achievements of HINDRAF within a short space of time and are doing whatever possible to break the unity of the Indian Community. They failed to realise that we are not competing with them or any other political party. We are an entity only committed to fight for Justice for the Indian community and highlight their plight both locally and at the International forum. We have done what others have failed for so many years and thus their personal attack on us.
I had been very reluctant to counter the allegations against me by these Indian DAP leaders as I did not wish to divert the attention and make the people of Kg Buah Pala scapegoats in their desperate attempt to save their village, however I am now compelled to break the silence. Lim Guan Eng has to act equitably and rule the Penang State with fairness and compassion rather than bully the people who he himself acknowledged had their land robbed by the previous government.

Islamic officials release woman held for caning

(AP) KARAI, Malaysia — Islamic officials Monday abruptly released a Muslim model scheduled to be caned this week for drinking beer, in an unexpected twist for a defendant who was expected to become the first Malaysian woman to face the corporal punishment.

Two female and one male officials came to the house of Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno in northern Malaysia on Monday and took her away in a van on what was supposed to be a four-hour road journey to a prison near Kuala Lumpur, the country's main city.

But they returned after about 30 minutes and said they had received "instructions from the higher powers" to release her, said Kartika's father, Shukarno Abdul Muttalib. The officials said that "for now, the sentence cannot be carried out," Shukarno said.

It was not immediately clear whether Kartika would be taken back into custody later. Islamic officials declined to comment.

Shukarno said he and Kartika would head to a district police station to file statements about her abrupt release. He said they were confused about what had happened and were worried that officials might later accuse his daughter of running away from them.

Officials had said earlier that Kartika, a 32-year-old mother of two, would be caned sometime during the week but no specific date was set. Amnesty International had condemned the decision, and many critics had said the caning would harm Malaysia's reputation as a moderate Muslim country.

Kartika was arrested in a raid for drinking beer at a hotel lounge last year for breaching the Muslim-majority country's Shariah law, which forbids Muslims to consume alcohol.

She was sentenced by a Shariah court in July in what was considered a warning to other Muslims to abide by religious laws. Kartika did not appeal and said she was willing to be caned.

Dressed in a full-length cream-and-red satin gown and a head scarf, Kartika emerged from her house and walked past a group of about 50 local Muslims who said prayers for her.

After a last kiss with her 5-year-old daughter, she got into the silver van along with her sister and the Islamic officials.

She did not speak to the horde of media assembled outside the house in the countryside, about 5 miles (7 kilometers) from Karai town in the northern Perak state.

In an interview with The Associated Press last week, Kartika had said she wants to be caned because "I want to respect the law."

The law provides for a three-year prison term and caning for Muslims caught drinking, but most offenders are fined. Drinking is legal for non-Muslims.

Islamic authorities had insisted that the purpose of the caning is to educate rather than punish. They say the rattan cane supposed to be used on Kartika would be smaller and lighter than the one used for men and that she will remain clothed. The prison official who canes her is also supposed to use very little force.

Men convicted of civil crimes such as rape and bribery in Malaysia are caned on their bare buttocks, breaking the skin and leaving permanent scars.

But now he has actually found fame and attention by writing in a blog and better still, people are actually affected enough to respond to him thus giving him that pleasure that he can actually 'get into you'. I could be wrong about his circumstances and perhaps it was some other thing but remember, people with prejudices are the product of how they were mistreated.

Kartika spared caning for drinking beer

SUNGAI SIPUT, Aug 24 — The religious authorities today freed a Muslim woman who had been sentenced to be caned for drinking beer, although she refused to leave a van taking her to jail when returned to her home.

And her father said the change of mind would ridicule Islam, which bans Muslims from consuming alcohol.

"The warrant cannot be executed," Sharafuddin Zainal Ariffin, head of enforcement for Pahang's Islamic Affairs Department, told reporters after Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, 32, was returned to her house.

It was not immediately clear whether the sentence, the first time a woman has been sentenced to caning here, had been overturned or merely postponed.

Both the woman, a Malaysian who has two children and who had worked as a nurse in Singapore, and her father had called for the sentence to be carried out quickly and in public.

Kartika was to have been taken to another state to be caned some time this week.

"I will not come out without a black and white document explaining the status of what has happened. I am surprised and speechless," Kartika told reporters.

Her father said the change of mind would bring "ridicule" on Islam. "We had already accepted the punishment," Shukarnor Mutalib, told reporters. — Reuters

When Najib met Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24 – Datuk Seri Najib Razak met Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the prime minister’s home in Putrajaya last month and asked for the opposition to work closely with the government.

It was learned that Najib had wanted to send the message that, as prime minister, he would be willing to work with the opposition.

He told Anwar that it was important for foreign investors to have confidence in Malaysia.

The political temperature has been consistently high with an acrimonious relationship between the Barisan Nasional (BN) administration and Pakatan Rakyat (PR) since the opposition made unprecedented gains in last year’s general elections.

With numerous by-elections, a power grab in Perak and Anwar facing a sodomy charge, the BN administration has been consistently distracted by politics.

But there has been no sign of closer cooperation or a thaw in hostilities since the two men met.

In recent weeks, Umno has taken the lead in raising the political heat with relentless racial attacks against the opposition.

Anwar has been called a traitor while PAS’s Islamic credentials have been questioned by an Umno which has demonised the DAP as anti-Malay.

The Teoh Beng Hock death and current inquest has also led accusations that BN is trying to destabilise the Selangor PR government with an eye towards another power grab.

But during Najib’s meeting with Anwar, the prime minister had pledged not to discriminate against PR-held states.

Government sources told The Malaysian Insider that Najib sought the meeting in recognition of Anwar’s role as leader of the opposition.

He wanted Anwar to convey the message of cooperation to leaders of other PR parties.

Najib was probably hoping that Anwar and the opposition would reduce the political temperature in the country.

PKR sources told The Malaysian Insider that Najib would not be able to govern Malaysia effectively without the support of the opposition.

Since taking office in April, Najib has tried to introduce a number of economic reforms and has pledged to review controversial legislation such as the Internal Security Act (ISA).

The prime minister has said he would slowly free up the economy, suggesting that Malaysia’s NEP-style affirmative action policies would be replaced sooner rather later.

But the hardline race rhetoric being championed by his deputy Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in recent weeks have made some Malaysians wonder if Umno would allow the PM to remove the kind of policies which have seen immense largesse given to many party leaders and supporters.

PKR sources also said that during the meeting between the two leaders, Najib sought to defend himself against allegations levelled at him by the opposition while Anwar took the opportunity to rubbish the government’s sodomy case against him.

Since the meeting, Najib appears to have chosen to play the statesmen role, keeping relatively quiet while hawks in his party like Muhyiddin have gone on the offensive against the opposition.

It is unclear now if Najib will, or will be able to, rein in the hawks and their race rhetoric.

Still, news of the clandestine meeting has set tongues wagging, with some observers wondering whether Najib’s decision to meet Anwar is a sign of weakness.

How many anak Bangsa Malaysia must die before you are moved?

“The children are the most badly affected by the food shortage”.

Read the rest of this report in the Staronline.

That report, whilst mentioning that Father Sylvester Ding, who is coordinating getting aid to those in need of the same, had said that people could send their donations in kind to the Miri Carmelite Chapel, does not give details as to how contributions could be sent. by Haris Ibrahim

I have asked for bank account details and / or the full postal address to which contributions might be sent and will post those details here the soonest I receive the same.

People, if you hold to the spirit of One People, One Nation, then you must see these starving children in the remote Kapit Division in central Sarawak as your own.

As you read this, you would have probably already had your first meal for the day.

Get your office mates to join you and skip lunch today, pool the money that you would have saved from that missed meal and get ready to send it out to our children in Sarawak.

The little pangs of hunger you will feel will be more than offset by the sense of fullness you will derive from knowing that the meal you missed is on its way to a little one who hasn’t eaten anything of substance in days.

Five reasons why voters of Permatang Pasir must vote for PAS/PR candidate Hassan Man and reject Umno/BN candidate Rohaizat Othman

By Lim Kit Siang,

There are five important reasons why the 20,290 voters of Permatang Pasir, regardless of race or religion, should vote for the Pas/Pakatan Rakyat candidate Mohd Salleh Man and reject the Umno/Barisan Nasional candidate Rohaizat Othman in the by-election polling tomorrow.

They are:

• Firstly, declare what all Malaysians know but no Umno, MCA, Gerakan, MIC or Barisan Nasional component party Minister or leader dare to say – that Rohaizat is not fit to be candidate for any elective office because of his being struck off the lawyers’ rolls under the Legal Profession Act for breach of trust, dishonesty and unprofessional conduct “unbefitting” a lawyer which “brings the legal profession into disrepute”. The media conference statement by his former law firm partner, Yusri Isahak, in Kuala Lumpur yesterday has done nothing to cleanse his “tainted” reputation or made academic the question: “How can a person not honest enough to be a lawyer be trusted to be a candidate for elective office, let alone to be elected as a State Assemblyman.

• Secondly, demonstrate that public shock and dismay over the mysterious death of Teoh Beng Hock at MACC Headquarters on July 16, 2009 are the response of all Malaysians, regardless of race or religion, as it concerns the value of a human life and public confidence in the efficiency, commitment, independence, integrity and professionalism of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to declare war on corruption instead of declaring war on Pakatan Rakyat;

• Thirdly, articulate the concerns of all right-thinking Malaysians across the race, religion and political divide for a thorough and comprehensive investigation into the causes and circumstances of the mysterious death of Teoh at the MACC precincts, which can only be done through a Royal Commission of Inquiry and not a mere inquest – and public concerns about Teoh’s death and the MACC have been further underlined by the appearance of a mysterious letter purportedly written by MACC officers containing serious allegations including collusion between a Barisan Nasional leader and a top ranking Selangor MACC officer;

• Fourthly, expose the hypocrisy of the Barisan Nasional by-election theme of “Anak Emas” for Permatang Pasir when the only “Anak Emas” is none other than Rohaisat Othman and to demand fair, just and progressive national policies by the Barisan Nasional Federal Government for all Malaysians, regardless of race, religion or territory, to be treated as “Anak Emas” of the country.

• Fifthly, give true meaning to the 1Malaysia slogan of Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak and the 52nd National Day theme on August 31 by deploring in the strongest possible terms the divisive, irresponsible and dangerous politics of double-speak and lies exploiting the race and religious cards to polarize Malaysians by playing a different tune to different voter ethnic groups – as alleging that Parliamentary Opposition Leader and PKR chief, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is “a traitor to the Malay race” and that PAS has sold out Islam to DAP for the Malay audience while accusing DAP of being a stooge of PAS among the Chinese electorate.

Salleh Man’s role in Permatang Pasir

By Deborah Loh

PAS candidate Mohd Salleh Man

THE fate of Pakatan Rakyat (PR) in Penang rests on the shoulders of one man, Mohd Salleh Man. If the PAS candidate in the Permatang Pasir by-election loses at the polls tomorrow on 25 Aug 2009, the alliance will have no co-operation to speak of within the state government.

PAS is defending its only seat in the Penang legislative assembly, in which the DAP has 19, Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) nine, and the Barisan Nasional (BN) opposition 11.

"We cannot afford to lose this seat or the pact at state-government level comes undone. Winning will prove that the Pakatan Rakyat is alive in Penang," PKR elections director Saifuddin Nasution tells The Nut Graph.

Salleh hopes to take over the reigns from the late assemblyperson Datuk Mohamad Hamdan Abdul Rahman, whose death on 31 July necessitated this by-election. Hamdan held the seat for three terms and was known as a gracious and popular elected representative.

Salleh, 55, is soft spoken and has a heavy local accent that makes it hard for out-of-towners to fully understand him. He comes across as an amiable "pak cik", although many call him "ustaz" because of his career in religious teaching.

The Penang PAS commissioner has been active in local PAS politics ever since graduating from Universiti Malaya with an Islamic studies degree. Interestingly, Salleh has contested six times in previous elections in the Pinang Tunggal, Permatang Berangan and Sungai Dua state seats, and also in the Tasek Gelugor parliamentary seat, but never won.

This time, he believes it will be different.

Seventh time lucky?

Asked to explain why, Salleh says Permatang Pasir has consistently voted for PAS for the last three terms, and he believes that trend will continue.

"I am sure voters here will want to see that PAS retains the seat, because it is the sole seat for the party in the state," he tells The Nut Graph at a campaign stop on 20 Aug.

We are standing in a football field, soggy with freshly cut grass after a spell of rain. Salleh has come to kick ball with the local youth of the Kubang Semang football club. PAS has organised a match for the village youths to play against a team comprising former state players and a few PR Youth leaders.

Salleh isn't terribly articulate, but seems the sort of leader who would obligingly stop for anyone with a question despite being on a hectic schedule.

He says of his six previous failed attempts at contesting a seat: "I am learning all the time, and each election helps me improve for the next. In the end, we only hope that voters will choose us."

He promises to strengthen the Penang PR if he wins, by developing good ties with the Chinese and Indian Malaysian communities.

"I will continue the vision of the late assembly[person] Hamdan to prioritise the people's welfare and ensure all the races work together, because we are all one under Pakatan Rakyat," he says, reading from notes scribbled in a pocket-sized notepad.

A minder from his campaign team steps in to cut the interview short, and Salleh is whisked off to his next stop.

Muddy campaign

Salleh's lack of flair is not likely to be a factor in this by-election, which has been overshadowed by attacks on the credibility of the BN candidate, Rohaizat Othman, a disbarred lawyer.

While Salleh works the ground meeting voters at markets and shops and in their homes, PAS leaders have harped on little else since nomination day on 17 Aug. They have used that to draw a contrast with Salleh, depicting him as a clean and pious man who is respected locally for teaching religious classes.

However, Salleh has not escaped the mudslinging. An Umno-linked blog claimed that he took RM600,000 of PAS's funds meant for the Permatang Pauh parliamentary by-election last August. PAS leaders have challenged Umno to show proof.

Power and position

With little to pick on about Salleh, the BN has turned to dangling the carrot of state power and representation. The BN highlights the fact that PAS, despite being in the PR, is not given a post in the state government's executive council.

"What is the use of voting for PAS when they are not given an exco post? The DAP is insulting PAS. Ask Lim Guan Eng, will he make PAS part of the state exco if they win? If not, what is the point of voting for PAS when they have no power in the state government?" said Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin at a ceramah on 20 Aug.

Khairy criticising Penang's DAP government during the ceramah

After the PR seized power in Penang in the March 2008 general election, Chief Minister Lim named DAP and PKR assemblypersons to his executive council.

Local reporters who cover the Penang legislative assembly sittings say the BN opposition often taunted the late Hamdan over the matter. Hamdan, however, never retaliated, nor did he make public demands for an exco position.

Indeed, it has been pointed out that the DAP and PAS are "even" on this score. To the north, in Kedah, where PAS won the most seats in the general election, the lone DAP assemblyperson was not given an exco post, either.

Before his death, however, the Penang government did appoint Hamdan to posts in several state committees.

Saifuddin (File pic)"There are many other ways to appreciate our partners in Pakatan, not necessarily with exco positions. There are other important posts in state-owned companies and various state councils. Posts do not define the worth of our partnership," argues PKR's Saifuddin.

He also believes that Malay Malaysians in Penang are not "jealous" about this. "They are attracted to Guan Eng's anti-corruption stance. You should not underestimate the Malay [Malaysians]; if they see a leader who shares their values, they can adapt even if the leader is of another race."

PAS by-election operations director Datuk Mahfuz Omar refuses to entertain questions about whether PAS would ask for more recognition in the state government if it retains the Permatang Pasir seat. "This by-election is about the seat, not about government positions," he says.

Then again, perhaps it is "win first" on polling day. And talk later.

Samy Vellu: MIC Must Be About Indians' Future

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24 (Bernama) -- MIC president Datuk Seri S.Samy Vellu stressed that the Sept 12 party election is not about individuals but the future of the MIC and the Indian community.

He said 2009 was a very crucial year for the MIC because the party delegates would be electing leaders who had shown results and could move the party ahead and prepare it for the next general election.

"I have put up a team that can work and deliver for the Indian community and maintain the respect and cooperation of Barisan Nasional and the government," he told Bernama in an interview.

He said he was endorsing incumbent deputy president Datuk G.Palanivel to retain the post based on Palanivel's personal character, background and achievements in the party and government.

Palanivel, who wrested the deputy president's post from Datuk S.Subramaniam in the 2006 MIC election, was the deputy minister in the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry before his defeat in the Hulu Selangor parliamentary seat in the 2008 general election.

Describing Palanivel as an "untainted and clean man", Samy Vellu said he had carried out his duties as a deputy minister and deputy president effectively without seeking publicity.

"Palanivel works as a team player and he has helped in the formulation of many policies and programs for the party," he said, adding that Palanivel was also "a no-nonsense and practical person".

He also said that Palanivel had good working relations with leaders of other Barisan Nasional component parties.

Samy Vellu said he was also endorsing Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S.Subramaniam, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk S.K.Devamany and Deputy Federal Territories Minister Datuk M.Saravanan for the three posts of vice-president because they were Members of Parliament and the party's representatives in the government.

"They must be given the mandate by the party to speak to the government on behalf of the Indian community and the MIC. They will be unable to perform effectively if the MIC itself is seen as not supporting them," he added.

Stressing that Dr Subramaniam was the sole Indian representative in the Cabinet, he said that through a stronger mandate from the delegates, his voice in the Cabinet would gain more respect and be honoured.

"Similarly, Devamany and Saravanan have to get the support of the MIC if they are to perform. Dr Subramaniam, Devamany and Saravanan are our only MPs now to implement the party's government work."

On his 27-member team for the 23 posts in the Central Working Committee (CWC), Samy Vellu said his list comprised a mix of all ages and groups within the Indian community, namely Malayali, Telegu and Sikh.

"I want the CWC to represent all the communities within the Indian community to avoid the party being branded as just for one group (Tamils)," he added.
