Iran jual pesawat mainan Amerika Syarikat

Posted: 17 Jan 2012 07:29 PM PST

Pada Disember 2011 pasukan keselamatan Iran telah berjaya menawan sebuah pesawat tanpa juruterbang yang paling canggih milik Amerika Syarikat yang tidak boleh dikesan oleh radar iaitu pesawat Drone RQ-170 Sentinel. Kerana kecanggihan pesawat ini dan bilangannya yang amat terhad, bukan tentera Amerika yang mengendalikan pesawat ini, tapi hanya boleh dikendalikan oleh CIA.

Walaubagaimana pun , secanggih-canggih teknologi Amerika, tentera Iran telah berjaya memintas pesawat ini dengan teknologi elektronik mereka yang akhirnya mereka dapat menawannya tanpa sebarang kerosakan.

Amerika Syarikat meminta Iran mengembalikan pesawat tersebut kerana ianya mempunyai banyak maklumat risikan , juga maklumat teknologi pesawat itu sendiri.

Tapi Iran akan memulangkan pesawat tersebut dalam bentuk replika pesawat mainan ke Presiden Amerika di Rumah Putih. Bukan itu sahaja, Iran juga akan menjual replika pesawat mainan RQ-170 ini kepada orang ramai pada harga sekitar RM12 sebuah.

AS Minta Pesawat Mata-mata, Iran Berikan Mainan

TEHERAN - Radio lokal Iran melaporkan, negaranya akan memberikan Amerika Serikat (AS) mainan yang bentuknya sama seperti pesawat mata-mata AS yang jatuh di Iran pada Desember 2011 lalu.

Mainan berbentuk pesawat RQ-170 Sentinel akan dikirim ke Gedung Putih sebagai respons dari permintaan AS yang meminta agar pesawat itu dikembalikan ke Paman Sam. Iran juga mengatakan, mainan itu dijual di Iran seharga USD4 atau sekira Rp36 ribu (Rp9.167 per USD). Demikian seperti diberitakan Associated Press, Selasa (17/1/2012).

Jatuhnya pesawat mata-mata tak berawak milik AS di Iran menjadi sumber ketegangan antara kedua negara itu. Iran menuding AS melanggar kedaulatan Iran dengan mengirim pesawat mata-mata tak berawak. Iran juga dikabarkan membongkar pesawat itu dan menguak sejumlah rahasia yang ada di pesawat mata-mata tersebut.

Pada saat AS meminta agar Negeri Persia itu mengembalikan pesawatnya yang jatuh, Iran juga menolak untuk memberikannya. Menurut Iran, pesawat itu menjadi simbol keberhasilan Iran dalam mengalahkan AS.

Militer Iran mengklaim, pesawat itu jatuh ditembak oleh pasukan Garda Revolusi Iran, namun Paman Sam menampik hal itu. AS mengatakan, pesawatnya jatuh di Iran karena adanya kesalahan teknis. Pejabat militer Iran juga menolak untuk memberikan keterangan lebih lanjut terkait jatuhnya pesawat mata-mata tak berawak itu.

Iran hanya mengatakan, tidak ada pihak di luar Iran yang membantu menjatuhkan pesawat milik AS tersebut.(AUL)

Iran Mocks US With Toy Drone
ABC News

The Iranian government, which captured a U.S. stealth drone in December, has agreed to give the top-secret spy craft back, but with a catch.

Instead of the original RQ-170 Sentinel drone, the Islamic Republic said Tuesday that it will send President Obama a tiny toy replica of the plane.

Iranian state radio said that the toy model will be 1/80th the size of the real thing. Iranian citizens can also buy their own toy copies of the drone, which will be available in stores for the equivalent of $4.

The White House formally requested return of the drone after the Iranians displayed it on state television. The U.S. says that the craft was operating over Eastern Afghanistan.

The Iranians claim they detected the drone well inside Iran's border and then took control of the craft electronically and brought it down safely. The U.S. has denied that the craft came down for any reason other than technical malfunction.

On Dec. 11, after President Obama said he had requested the return of the drone, an Iranian general said that it was not going to happen. The general also warned on Iranian television of a "bigger response" to the "hostile act" of crossing into Iranian airspace.

"No one returns the symbol of aggression to the party that sought secret and vital intelligence related to the national security of a country," Iranian Islamic Revolution Guards Corps [IRGC] Lt. Commander Gen. Hossein Salami said, according to Iran's Fars News Agency.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that "given Iran's behavior to date, we do not expect them to comply" with Obama's request. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta also said he didn't expect Iran to hand over the drone, but told reporters, "I think it's important to make that request."

Commander: Iran Keeps Enemy Drone

TEHRAN (FNA)- Senior Iranian military officials stressed that Iran will not return the US stealth drone captured by its armed forces.

Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Lieutenant Commander General Hossein Salami said in remarks broadcast on state television that the violation of Iran's airspace by the US drone was a "hostile act" and warned of a "bigger" response. He did not elaborate on what Tehran might do.

"No one returns the symbol of aggression to the party that sought secret and vital intelligence related to the national security of a country," Salami said.

The Iranian state broadcaster Thursday evening released the first images of the highly advanced US stealth spy drone which was downed through a cyber attack by Iranian military forces last week as it was flying over the country's airspace.

The drone is equipped with highly advanced surveillance, data gathering, electronic communication and radar systems.

Salami called its capture a victory for Iran and a defeat for the US in a complicated intelligence and technological battle.

"Iran is among the few countries that possesses the most modern technology in the field of pilotless drones. The technology gap between Iran and the US is not much," he said.

American officials have clamed that they have lost control of the plane. But Salami refused to provide more details of Iran's claim to have captured the CIA-operated aircraft.

"A party that wins in an intelligence battle doesn't reveal its methods. We can't elaborate on the methods we employed to intercept, control, discover and bring down the pilotless plane," he said.

The drone is the first such loss by the US. US officials have described the loss of the aircraft in Iran as a setback and a fatal blow to the stealth drone program.

The US media revealed on Thursday that Pentagon and the CIA considered several options on how to retrieve or destroy the drone, including sending a cross-border commando raid and delivering an air strike to destroy it.

However all were deemed too risky, since Tehran would consider such an operation an act of war, should it be discovered.

"No one warmed up to the option of recovering it or destroying it because of the potential it could become a larger incident," an unnamed official told the Washington Post on Thursday.

The RQ-170 has special coatings and a batwing shape designed to help it penetrate other nations' air defenses undetected. The existence of the aircraft, which is made by Lockheed Martin, has been known since 2009, when a model was photographed at the main US airfield in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

The unmanned surveillance plane lost by the United States in Iran was a stealth aircraft being used for secret missions by the CIA, US officials admitted earlier this week.

The aircraft is among the highly sensitive surveillance platform in the CIA's fleet that was shaped and designed to evade enemy defenses.

Current and former Washington defense officials said even the US military cannot use such a highly sophisticated stealth aircraft as the country is in relatively short supply and is only flown by the CIA.

The Iranian state broadcaster Thursday evening released the first images of the highly advanced US stealth spy drone.

Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Forces Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh appeared on TV last night to explain how Iranian forces downed the United States' highly advanced radar-evading spy drone last week.

"Recently, our collected intelligence and precise electronic monitoring revealed that this aircraft intended to infiltrate our country's airspace for spying missions," the General said, and added, "After it entered the Eastern parts of the country, this aircraft fell into the trap of our armed forces and was downed in Iran with minimum damage."

"The wing-to-wing width of the RQ-170 Sentinel drone is around 26 meters with a length of 4.5 meters and height of 1.84 meters."

"The drone is equipped with highly advanced surveillance, data gathering, electronic communication and radar systems," he continued.

"As far as its platform and coating are concerned, this kind of plane has been designed to evade radar systems and from the view point of technology it is amongst the most recent types of advanced aircraft used by the US," the IRGC commander added.

"The technology used in this aircraft had already been used in B2 and F35 planes," Hajizadeh said, and added, "This aircraft is controlled and guided through satellite link and land stations in Afghanistan and the Untied States."

"Military experts are well aware how precious the technological information of this drone is," he reiterated.

Among the United States' main concerns is that Iran could use an intact aircraft to examine the vulnerabilities in stealth technology and take countermeasures with its air defense systems. Another is that China or other US adversaries could help Iran extract data from the drone that would reveal its flight history, surveillance targets and other capabilities.

The drone was programmed to destroy such data in the event of a malfunction, but it failed to do so. The blow has been so heavy that the US officials do not still want to accept that Iran brought down the plane by a cyber attack. Instead, explanations have focused on potential technical failures. The aircraft cover great distances and depend on satellite links. A lost connection or other malfunction could cause them to turn back home or start automatic explosion.

Prosthetic leg for SS19 resident

Posted: 17 Jan 2012 09:39 AM PST

Amputee gets prosthetic leg from Yeoh

By AIDA AHMAD and ELLORA CHUA

AMPUTEE and father of seven children, Mohd Noor Busin can now look forward to walking and moving around freely without the aid of a wheelchair.

Mohd Noor, 68, who lost his leg in July last year due to diabetic complications, received his new prosthetic limb from Subang Jaya assemblyman Hannah Yeoh at his home in SS19 recently.
"I first saw Mohd Noor when we carried out a gotong-royong project in the area. He had applied to get a prosthetic leg from the Social Welfare Department but there was no feedback," said Yeoh.
Mohd Noor's children went to get a quotation from a clinic for the prosthetic leg and were faced with a RM7,990 bill.
Much needed assistance: Yeoh (second from left) with the artificial leg her office donated to amputee Mohd Noor. With them are Jamal Mohamed (left) and Mohd Noor's daughters, Hamidah (in pink) and Hummida.
"His children managed to save up RM2,000 which was not enough.
"My office offered to donate the balance of RM5,990 for Mohd Noor to have his leg in time for his son's wedding in December," Yeoh said.
She urged the Welfare Department to speed up cases such as these in future to lessen the burden of people with disabilities because the cost of prosthetic limbs is very expensive.
Mohd Noor's daughters, Nor Hamidah, 17, and Nor Hummida, 19, are very happy that their father can finally move around without the wheelchair.
"I'm very thankful for the prosthetic leg. I hope that when my father gets used to walking with the prosthetic leg and is able to take care of himself again, my older sister can find a job to help our family," said Hamidah.
At the moment, Hummida stays at home to take care of her father.
"I am very happy because things will be easier now, not just for myself but for my other family members and my father as well.
"I am also very thankful for Yeoh's help because we appealed to the Welfare Department in August but got a very late response.
"Now that my father has a prosthetic leg, I am at ease. He can go the toilet and bathe without having to sit in a wheelchair now," said Hummida.
SS19 Rukun Tetangga chairman Jamal Mohamed also thanked Yeoh for helping Mohd Noor.
"We are very appreciative of her for coming to our aid," he said.

The Penang State Government Has Instructed the State Legal Adviser to Issue a Gazette Notification Exempting Local Authorities in Penang from Section 15 of the Local Government Act 1976 (en/bm/cn)

Posted: 18 Jan 2012 02:17 AM PST

Press Statement by the Lim Guan Eng, Chief Minister of Penang, on 18 January 2011:

The Penang State Government Has Instructed the State Legal Adviser to Issue a Gazette Notification Exempting Local Authorities in Penang from Section 15 of the Local Government Act 1976 as a Precursor to Seeking a Court Declaration to Compel the Election Commission to Conduct Local Government Elections

The Penang State Government has Instructed the State Legal Adviser to issue a gazette notification exempting local authorities in Penang from section 15 of the Local Government Act 1976 as a precursor to seeking a court declaration to compel the Election Commission to conduct local government elections.

The Minister for Housing and Local Government, Datuk Seri Chor Chee Heung, is reported to have said yesterday that the Penang State Government should consult with the National Council on Local Government (NCLG) before issuing a gazette notification exempting the local authorities in Penang from the provisions of section 15 of the Local Government Act 1976. Section 15 of the Act provides that all laws relating to local government elections are of no force and effect.

The Minister should be fully aware that the Penang State Government has already attempted to consult with the NCLG on the issue of restoring local government elections. On 14 July 2009, YB Chow Kon Yeow, the Penang State Exco for Local Government and Traffic Management, wrote to the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, as the secretariat to the NCLG, on this matter, but was informed on 3 August 2009 that the Federal Government had no plans to reinstate local government elections.

On 11 August 2009, the Penang State Assembly passed a resolution calling upon the Federal authorities to take action to reinstate local government elections. YB Chow again wrote to the Ministry on 24 August 2009, communicating the resolution of the State Assembly and asking for the matter to be tabled and discussed at the 62nd meeting of the NCLG. However, by its letter dated 14 September 2009, the Ministry again refused to list the topic for discussion.

A three-man legal panel consisting of Dato’ Yeo Yang Poh, Mr Tommy Thomas and Mr Malik Imtiaz was retained by the State Government, and advised that the reintroduction of local government elections was within the powers of the State, in accordance with the Local Government Elections Act 1960, which was revised in 1991.

On 4 March 2010, I wrote to the Election Commission asking it to conduct local government elections to the MPPP and MPSP, but the Election Commission also refused. On 12 March 2010, I also wrote to the Prime Minister offering to meet with him to discuss the State Government’s position but again received no response.

Between 1951 and 1965, Malaya/Malaysia practised a system of local democracy whereby local councillors were elected by local residents. In 1961, the Federal Government abolished the elected Kuala Lumpur Municipal Council, and in 1965 issued an Emergency Regulation suspending local government elections throughout the States of Malaysia, using the excuse of the Confrontation with Indonesia.

The Prime Minister at the time, Tunku Abdul Rahman, promised the Dewan Rakyat that local government elections would be restored once the Confrontation was over:

"As soon as this peace and quietness has returned we would make haste with all proper preparations for the local council elections … The very moment peace is declared I can assure this House that the elections will be held. "

The Confrontation with Indonesia ended in 1966, but local government elections were not restored as promised by the then Alliance (BN) Federal Government. In 1968, the Royal Commission on Local Government headed by Senator Athi Nahappan recommended the restoration of local government elections, but this was rejected by the Federal Government.

At the end of 2011, both Houses of Parliament passed resolutions annulling the existing Proclamations of Emergency in Malaysia, but because of sections 15 of the Local Government Act 1976, local government elections cannot be restored.

Local government is a State matter under the Federal Constitution, and the State Authority has the power under section 1(4) of the Local Government Act 1976 to exempt any local government area from any or all of the provisions of the Act. The Penang State Government has decided that 45 years after the end of the Confrontation, it is time for it to exercise its powers to free Penang and the MPPP and MPSP from the anti-democratic provisions that prevent the holding of local government elections.

As such, the Penang State EXCO has decided today to issue a gazette notification exempting the local authorities in Penang from the provisions of section 15 of the Local Government Act 1976. The Penang State Legal Adviser has been instructed to effect this gazette notification and also to issue a fiat appointing Mr Tommy Thomas to represent the Penang State Government in court. After the gazette notification, the State Government will refer this dispute with the Election Commission to the Courts.

Kenyataan Media oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng pada 18 Januari 2012
Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang Telah Mengarahkan Penasihat Undang-undang Negeri Untuk Mengeluarkan Pemberitahuan Warta Yang Mengecualikan Pihak-pihak Berkuasa Tempatan Pulau Pinang Daripada Seksyen 15 Akta Kerajaan Tempatan 1976 Sebagai Langkah Awal Sebelum Memohon Pengisytiharan Mahkamah Untuk Memaksa Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya Untuk Menjalankan Pilihan Raya Kerajaan Tempatan.

Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang telah mengarahkan Penasihat Undang-undang Negeri untuk mengeluarkan pemberitahuan warta yang mengecualikan pihak-pihak berkuasa tempatan Pulau Pinang daripada Seksyen 15 Akta Kerajaan Tempatan 1976 sebagai langkah awal sebelum memohon pengisytiharan mahkamah untuk memaksa Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) untuk menjalankan pilihan raya kerajaan tempatan.

Menteri Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan Datuk Seri Chor Chee Heung telah dilaporkan berkata bahawa Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang patut berunding dengan Majlis Kebangsaan bagi Kerajaan Tempatan (NCLG) sebelum mengeluarkan pemberitahuan warta yang mengecualikan pihak-pihak berkuasa Pulau Pinang daripada peruntukan-peruntukan Seksyen 15 Akta Kerajaan Tempatan 1976. Seksyen 15 Akta tersebut menetapkan bahawa semua undang-undang berkaitan dengan pilihan raya kerajaan tempatan adalah dibatalkan dan tidak berkuasa.

YB Menteri sepatutnya sedar dan tahu bahawa Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang telah pun mencuba berkali-kali untuk berunding dengan NCLG berkenaan dengan hasrat untuk memulihkan pilihan raya kerajaan tempatan. Pada 14 Julai 2009, YB Chow Kon Yeow, Ahli Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri untuk Kerajaan Tempatan dan Pengurusan Trafik, telah menulis surat kepada Kementerian Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan, selaku sekretariat NCLG, atas perkara ini. Susulan daripada itu, pada 3 Ogos 2009 kita telah dimaklumkan bahawa Kerajaan Persekutuan tidak berancang untuk memulihkan pilihan raya kerajaan tempatan.

Pada 11 Ogos 2009, Dewan Undangan Negeri Pulau Pinang telah meluluskan resolusi menyeru pihak Kerajaan Persekutuan untuk memulihkan pilihan raya kerajaan tempatan. YB Chow sekali lagi telah menulis kepada Kementerian pada 24 Ogos 2009 untuk memaklumkan resolusi Dewan Undangan Negeri dan meminta supaya perkara ini dibentang dan dibincangkan dalam mesyuarat ke-62 NCLG. Namun demikian, dalam surat yang bertarikh 14 September 2009, Kementerian sekali lagi enggan memasukkan topik ini dalam agenda perbincangan.

Ekoran daripada itu, Kerajaan Negeri telah melantik panel peguam yang terdiri daripada Dato' Yeo Yang Poh, En Tommy Thomas dan En Malik Imtiaz. Panel tersebut telah menasihati bahawa pemulihan pilihan raya kerajaan tempatan berada dalam bidang kuasa Negeri mengikut Akta Pilihan Raya Kerajaan Tempatan 1960 yang telah disemak semula pada tahun 1991.

Pada 4 Mac 2010, saya telah menulis kepada Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya untuk meminta supaya pilihan raya kerajaan tempatan dijalankan bagi MPPP dan MPSP, tetapi SPR telah menolak permintaan itu. Pada 12 Mac 2010, saya juga telah menulis kepada Perdana Menteri untuk meminta perjumpaan dengan beliau untuk membincangkan pendirian Kerajaan Negeri, namun tidak menerima maklumbalas.

Di antara tahun 1951 hingga 1965, Malaya/Malaysa telah mengamalkan sistem demokrasi tempatan di mana ahli-ahli majlis telah dipilih oleh penghuni tempatan. Pada tahun 1961, Kerajaan Persekutuan telah memansuhkan Majlis Perbandaran Kuala Lumpur yang dipilih, dan pada tahun 1965 telah mengeluarkan Peraturan Kecemasan yang menggantungkan pilihan raya kerajaan tempatan di seluruh negeri-negeri di Malaysia, atas alasan Konfrontasi dengan Indonesia.

Perdana Menteri pada masa itu, Tunku Abdul Rahman, telah berjanji kepada Dewan Rakyat bahawa pilihan raya kerajaan tempatan akan dipulihkan selepas tamatnya Konfrontasi:

"Sebaik sahaja keamanan dan ketenangan pulih kembali kita akan segera membuat persiapan untuk pilihan raya kerajaan tempatan… Sebaik sahaja keamanan diisytiharkan saya memberi jaminan kepada Dewan bahawa pilihan raya akan diadakan."

Konfrontasi dengan Indonesia telah berakhir pada tahun 1966, tetapi pilihan raya kerajaan tempatan tidak dipulihkan seperti yang dijanjikan oleh Kerajaan Perikatan (sebelum menjadi BN). Pada tahun 1968, Suruhanjaya DiRaja untuk Kerajaan Tempatan yang diketuai oleh Senator Athi Nahappan telah mencadangkan pemulihan pilihan raya kerajaan tempatan, tetapi cadangan ini telah ditolak oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan.

Pada akhir tahun 2011, kedua-dua Dewan Parlimen telah meluluskan resolusi untuk membatalkan Perisytiharan-perisytiharan Darurat di Malaysia, tetapi pilihan raya kerajaan tempatan tidak dapat dipulihkan atas sebab adanya Seksyen 15 Akta Kerajaan Tempatan 1976.

Kerajaan tempatan merupakan perkara Negeri di bawah Perlembagaan Persekutuan, dan Pihak Berkuasa Negeri mempunyai kuasa di bawah Seksyen 1(4) Akta Kerajaan Tempatan 1976 untuk mengecualikan mana-mana kawasan kerajaan tempatan daripada peruntukan-peruntukan Akta tersebut. Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang telah memutuskan bahawa setelah 45 tahun sejak penamatan Konfrontasi, sudah tiba masanya untuk membebaskan Pulau Pinang serta MPPP dan MPSP daripada peruntukan-peruntukan anti-demokratik yang menghalang perjalanan pilihan raya kerajaan tempatan.

Oleh itu, Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang telah memutuskan hari ini untuk mengeluarkan pemberitahuan warta yang mengecualikan pihak-pihak berkuasa tempatan Pulau Pinang daripada peruntukan-peruntukan Seksyen 15 Akta Kerajaan Tempatan 1976. Penasihat Undang-undang Negeri Pulau Pinang telah diarahkan untuk mengeluarkan pemberitahuan warta ini dan juga untuk mengeluarkan fiat melantik En Tommy Thomas untuk mewakili Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang di mahkamah. Selepas pemberitahuan warta, Kerajaan Negeri akan merujukkan perkara ini kepada Mahkamah.

槟州首席部长林冠英于2011年1月18日发表声明:

槟州政府已经指示州法律顾问在宪报上颁布通令,让槟州所有地方政府可以免于实施1976年地方政府法令第15条文,进一步申请庭令,迫使选举委员会必须执行地方政府选举。

槟州政府已经指示州法律顾问在宪报上颁布通令,让槟州所有地方政府可以免于实施1976年地方政府法令第15条文,进一步申请庭令,迫使选举委员会必须执行地方政府选举。

房屋及地方政府部长拿督斯里曹智雄今天说,槟州政府在宪报上发出通令,让槟州所有地方政府免于实施地方政府法令第15条文之前,应该咨询国家地方政府理事会。第15条文宣判所有与地方政府选举有关的法令皆为无效。

部长应该知道,槟州政府已经咨询过国家地方政府理事会有关恢复地方选举的课题。2009年7月14日,槟州行政议员(地方政府兼交通管理委员会主席)曹观友已经就此致函房屋及地方政府部(国家地方政府理事会秘书处),但是,我们在2009年8月3日接获当局的答复,说明联邦政府并没有计划恢复地方政府选举。

2009年8月11日,槟州州议会动议并通过,要求联邦政府恢复地方议会选举。曹观友再一次于2009年8月24日致函部长,说明有关州议会的动议,并要求在第62次国家地方政府理事会议上提呈及讨论。但是,房屋及地方政府部于2009年9月14日,再一次拒绝将有关动议列为讨论事项。

州政府也找来三名律师拿督杨文波、汤米汤姆斯、玛力英迪亚斯,他们建议我们行使州政府的权力,重新根据1960年地方政府法令(1991年修正),举行地方议会选举。

2010年3月4日,我代表槟州政府写信给选举委会员,要求选委会执行槟岛市政局及威省市政局的地方议员选举,但是选委会却拒绝这项要求。2010年3月12日,我再次致函首相,要求与他见面阐明州政府的立场,依旧是石沉大海。

在1951至1965年期间,马来亚/马来西亚曾经实施过地方议会民选制,让居民选出县市议员。1961年,联邦政府废除吉隆坡民选的市政府,1965年颁布紧急条例,宣布中止全马各地的地方政府选举,理由是当时正值马印对抗。

当时的首相东姑阿都拉曼在国会中承诺,一旦马印对抗结束,政府将恢复地方议会选举,他说:

"只要和平与宁静的时刻到来,我们会即刻筹备地方政府选举… ..一旦和平到来,我向国会保证,我们将重新举行地方政府选举… …"

马印对抗于1966年结束,但是,当年联盟(后来的国阵)所承诺的地方政府选举至今还没有恢复。1968年,由上议员阿迪纳哈班所率领的地方政府皇家委员会曾提议恢复地方政府选举,但是联邦政府却拒绝他的建议。

2011年底,国会通过废除我国现有的紧急条例,但是,由于1976年地方政府选举第15条文尚存,地方政府选举不能恢复执行。

在联邦宪法底下,地方政府属于州管辖事务,而州政府有权力在1976年地方政府法令第1(4)条文下,免除地方政府遵从上述法令中的任何一项或所有条文。槟州政府决定,马印对抗已经结束了45年,是时候由州政府把槟岛市政局和威省市政局从阻碍地方政府选举、反民主的法律条文中解放出来。

因此,槟州行政议员今天决定,在宪报上颁布通令,让槟州所有地方政府可以免于实施1976年地方政府法令第15条文。州法律顾问受指示颁布通令,并发出委任指令,由汤米汤姆斯成为州政府的代表律师。一旦通令颁布,我们将在法庭上,解决与选举委员会在地方选举课题上产生的争论。

Chua Soi Lek Should State Which Seat He Is Standing In The Next General Elections (en/cn)

Posted: 17 Jan 2012 10:29 PM PST

Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 18.1.2012

Chua Soi Lek Should State Which Seat He Is Standing In The Next General Elections So That We Can See His Response If DAP Does A "Liow Tiong Lai Act" By Declaring Confidence Of Beating Chua.

MCA President Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek should state which seat he is contesting in the next general elections so that we can see his response if DAP does a "Liow Tiong Lai act" by declaring confidence in defeating Chua. DAP is not interested in playing the boastful games of MCA, when the only one making political challenges is the MCA and not DAP.

I wish to remind MCA President Chua Soi Lek that MCA's Health Minister Liow Tiong Lai is the only one who issued a political challenge by boasting that MCA is confident of winning my present parliamentary seat of Bagan. When asked by Malaysian Insider I said that,

"I will not comment further on Liow's challenge unless Liow Tiong Lai himself or MCA Vice-President and Penang MCA Chair Ng Yen Yen is contesting in Bagan. Let Liow continue his boastful remarks. I will not indulge in MCA's boastful games as I wish to focus on serving the voters in my constituency and the people of Penang."

Unlike MCA, DAP has not engaged in political games by boasting we will win or beat Liow in Bentong or Ng Yen Yen in Raub. Only MCA is making all these boasts. We therefore hope that Chua Soi Lek will stop deceiving the public on this matter. Will Chua Soi Lek dare to announce which seat he is contesting, then let me go to that constitutency and repeat Liow's remarks that we are confident of defeating Chua then see how Chua will respond?

This is not the first time that the MCA President has failed to keep his promise, during his political comeback after his resignation for personal reasons, that he will not again deceive the people especially those around him. Chua had lied of PR and DAP mismanaging the financial administration of Penang resulting in budget deficits.

This is typical of MCA's deceptive politics where black becomes white and white become black. Penang has no budget deficits but had recorded budget surpluses every year for the four years we are in power, certified by the Auditor-General Report. In fact Penang remains the only state in Malaysia to be praised by Transparency International for our efforts in implementing open tender to battle corruption.

民主行动党秘书长兼巴眼区国会议员林冠英于2012年1月18日:

蔡细历应该讲清楚,来届大选他将在哪一个议席上阵,这样我们才可以知道,如果行动党像廖中莱那样表演,宣布有信心打败蔡细历,他会有什么反应。

马华总会长拿督斯里蔡细历应该讲清楚,来届大选他将在哪一个议席上阵,这样我们才可以知道,如果行动党像廖中莱那样表演,宣布有信心打败蔡细历,他会有什么反应。行动党没有兴趣像马华那样自己讲自己爽,而一直在挑战政治对手的是马华,不是行动党。

我要提醒马华总会长蔡细历,马华卫生部长廖中莱是唯一一个向政治对手发出挑战、自吹自夸说有信心在我目前的巴眼国会议席取胜。当《马来西亚内幕者》访问我时,我说:"我不会评论廖中莱下的挑战,除非廖中莱自己或马华副总会长兼槟州主席黄燕燕要来巴眼竞选。就让廖中莱继续自己讲自己爽吧。我对马华的游戏没有兴趣,我希望把焦点放在我的选区及槟州人民。"

行动党不像马华,我们没有说我们会在文冬打败廖中莱胜出、或在劳勿打败黄燕燕胜出。只有马华一直在吹牛。我希望蔡细历不要再欺骗公众。蔡细历敢不敢公布他要上阵的议席,然后让我去那个选区,像廖中莱那样说"我们有信心打败蔡细历",看看蔡细历怎么回应?

这不是第一次马华总会长无法兑现他的诺言,在他因私人理由辞职后,他再也骗不了人民,特别是他身边的人。蔡细历也说谎,指民联和行动党治理的槟城财务管理不当,导致预算赤字。

这就是典型的马华欺骗政治,黑的可以讲成白的,白的也可以讲成黑的。槟城不但没有预算赤字,我们还连续四年取得预算盈余,总稽查司也认同这一点。事实上,目前为止,槟城还是唯一因实施公开招标、打击贪污而被国际透明组织称赞的州属。

UMNO insiders are worried that the RM300 million National Feedlot Centre (NFC) "cattle condo" scandal may cost UMNO very dearly, causing it to lose more than 30 parliamentary seats in the general elections if this scandal is not handled and resolved in a quick and satisfactory manner. This is why I do not expect the [...]

查爾斯:財力有限‧木屋民盼調低屋價

(雪蘭莪‧巴生13日訊)班達馬蘭巴板路和武吉克拉容的木屋區問題至今仍懸而未決,雖然居民獲獻議以9萬9千令吉的價格購買新屋子作為搬遷的條件,但基於居民財力有限,因此希望屋價可以再調低。

巴生區國會議員查爾斯表示,受影響的巴板路和武吉克拉容居民已多次跟掌管木屋的雪州行政議員依斯甘達、發展商等各造開會,而在去年6月左右,雪州經濟行動理事會經過協商後獻議以20X70呎、售9萬9千令吉的屋子,作為居民搬遷的條件。

大多數居民逾60歲

然而,他說,絕大多數的巴板路和武吉克拉容居民都年逾60歲,要向銀行貸款買屋子非常困難,因此居民希望州政府調低9萬9千令吉的獻議價。

此外,他表示,雪州政府於1997年把巴板路和武吉克拉容的土地轉移給國家銀行子公司TPPT時,是根據3個條件,如果如今以9萬9千令吉的屋子作為要求居民搬遷的交換條件,恐怕會違反了多年前談妥的3個條件。

查爾斯今日在新聞發佈會指出,這3個條件包括TPPT必須有穩固的財力、非盈利至上及肩負社會責任。

范新麟:致函大臣要求調低屋價

另一方面,代表巴板路和武吉克拉容木屋居民的律師範新麟表示,他的律師行已致函給雪州大臣丹斯里卡立,提出調低屋價的要求。

他說,9萬9千令吉只是建議價格,並非最後的定價,所以還有協商的空間。

徐志榮:未安頓住處已動工打地基

另外,武吉克拉容搬遷委員會主席徐志榮表示,受影響的住戶至今仍未獲得安頓,但發展商從大約去年8月開始,就已動工打地基。

他指出,受影響的武吉克拉容住戶在當地定居已有70年,如今眼見工程已展開,他們未來的安身之所卻仍然沒有著落,令他們擔憂不已。

除了武吉克拉容有25個單位受影響之外,巴板路也有150個單位受影響。

張玉月:快安頓受影響住戶

巴板路居民代表張玉月說,巴板路和武吉克拉容的木屋搬遷問題已拖延了十多年還未解決,希望州政府以居民利益為優先,儘快安頓受影響的住戶。(星洲日報/大都會)
