Tambak laut di Melaka bakal ‘bunuh’ masyarakat Portugis

Posted: 19 May 2015 06:43 AM PDT

MELAKA: Projek penambakan laut Melaka Gateway yang sedang dijalankan dan projek jalan pesisir pantai yang akan dilaksanakan dibantah oleh masyarakat perkampungan Portugis kerana ia diramalkan bakal 'membunuh' kelangsungan kehidupan mereka.

Menurut Sidang Perkampungan Portugis, Peter Thomas Gomes, pantai serta laut di perkampungan tersebut begitu sinonim dengan masyarakat Portugis dan projek penambakan laut tersebut akan 'membunuh' komuniti mereka.

"Kita protes kerana mereka tak tepati janji, cakap tak serupa bikin, dulu kata tak ada tambak laut tapi sekarang hampir tutup pantai kampung kami, kita tak bantah pembangunan tapi sepatutnya ambil kira nasib nelayan di sini.

"Kita minta datang berbincang tapi sehingga kini tiada satu perjumpaan, kita nak selesaikan masalah nelayan, restoran dan penduduk kampung, sekarang pemandangan cantik lepas ni tengok tong sampah," ujarnya kepada dalam pertemuan dengan wakil Harakah di sini baru-baru ini.

Tambah beliau, bayaran pampasan yang diumumkan kerajaan negeri baru-baru ini bukan pampasan daripada projek Melaka Gateway tetapi pampasan bagi projek penambakan laut terdahulu di muara sungai Melaka.

"Kami bukan nak sangat pampasan kerana pampasan tak setimpal dengan apa yang kami hilang tapi pembohongan ini mengambarkan seolah-olah kami tidak bersyukur. "Malahan ada tuduhan bahawa terdapat bukan nelayan dapat pampasan juga satu pembohongan bagi memburukkan kami dan pembangunan 'highway' itu juga akan sebabkan banjir kilat di kawasan Ujong Pasir.

"Mereka tak bincang, terus umum projek, maksudnya mereka nak 'bunuh' kita sedangkan kampung Portugis di sini satu-satunya yang masih tinggal di Asia Tenggara dengan penduduknya seramai 1,200 orang.

MELAKA: Satu memorandum yang membantah penambakan laut nelayan perkampungan Portugis di sini telah diserahkan kepada Ketua Menteri Melaka, Dato' Seri Idris Haron, di sini, baru-baru ini. Memorandum yang ditandatangani oleh Sidang Perkampungan Portugis, Peter Gomes; Pengerusi Bertindak Selamatkan Komuniti Portugis,Martin Theisera dan wakil nelayan itu menyenaraikan sembilan sebab bantahan dibuat.

Menurut Martin, memorandum tersebut dihantar kerana beberapa bantahan menerusi media sebelum ini tidak mendapat respons yang diharapkan daripada pihak berkaitan.

"Antara perkara yang ditimbulkan dalam memorandum berkenaan termasuklah kegagalan mengikuti laporan Kajian Impak Alam Sekitar (EIA) mikro yang dikeluarkan pada 1997.

"Kemungkinan warisan masyarakat Portugis menjadi mangsa kerja penambakan ini turut disertakan dalam memorandum itu," katanya.

Beliau berkata, bantahan dilakukan kerana perkampungan Portugis serta budaya dan warisan yang diamalkan turut dilindungi Enakmen Pemeliharaan dan Pemugaran Warisan 1988.

Ketua Menteri Melaka puji Adun PAS

MELAKA: Ketua Menteri Melaka, Dato' Seri Idris Haron memuji sokongan yang diberikan oleh Adun Bukit Baru (PAS), Dr Md Khalid Kassim berhubung tindakan melarang penjualan arak di kedai serbaneka 24 jam dalam kawasan majoriti Islam.

Dato' Idris Haron menyifatkan sokongan tersebut sebagai pembakar semangat bagi kerajaan negeri di dalam menjaga kebajikan umat Islam di Melaka ketika menggulung usul di Persidangan Dun Melaka, baru-baru ini.

Menurut Dr Md Khalid bahawa tindakan itu wajar dipuji dan ia penting dalam menjaga kepentingan umat Islam di negeri ini .

"Ada yang melihat tindakan ini agak kecil tetapi apa yang perlu dilihat adalah makna serta kesannya yang cukup besar, syabas di atas pengharaman jualan arak oleh kedai tertentu di kawasan majoriti Islam ini.

"Ia sedikit sebanyak dapat mencegah penjualan arak secara bebas dan terbuka khususnya kepada muda-mudi Islam yang begitu mudah membelinya di kedai serbaneka 24 jam tanpa ada kawalan pihak berwajib," ujarnya.

Keputusan melarang penjualan arak itu dibuat pada Mesyuarat Exco Kerajaan Negeri pada 28 Januari lepas terhadap seluruh kedai serbaneka 24 jam di kawasan bermajoriti umat islam.

Hutang Melaka RM861 Juta

MELAKA:Persidangan Pertama, Penggal Ketiga, Dewan Undangan Negeri Melaka Yang Ketiga Belas di Seri Negeri, baru-baru ini dimaklumkan bahawa hutang Kerajaan Negeri Melaka berjumlah RM861 juta.

Adun Ayer Keroh (DAP), Khoo Poay Tiong dalam soalan lisan nombor enam menanyakan Ketua Menteri berapakah hutang Kerajaan Negeri kepada Kerajaan Pusat pada akhir 2014.

Ketua Menteri Melaka, Dato' Seri Idris Haron menyatakan bahawa hutang Kerajaan Negeri berakhir 2014 berjumlah RM861,709,420.15 di mana ia merupakan baki pinjaman pokok.

"Rizab Kerajaan Negeri pada 2013 berjumlah RM217.13 juta dan rizab Kerajaan Negeri pada 2014 pula turun kepada RM206.61 juta di mana ia meliputi rizab akaun mengurus, rizab di bawah Tabung Amanah Melaka serta pinjaman kepada agensi," ujarnya.

Idris Haron turut menjelaskan bahawa jumlah pinjaman agensi negeri kepada institusi kewangan berakhir 31 Januari 2015 berjumlah RM192.060,990.85 dan agensi yang terlibat adalah Yayasan Melaka, Majlis Agama Islam Melaka, Kolej Universiti Islam Melaka, Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Melaka serta Melaka ICT Holdings Sdn Bhd.

Poay Tiong dalam soalannya turut menanyakan bagaimana Kerajaan Negeri membantu rakyat Melaka menghadapi ketidaktentuan ekonomi. Manakala, jawapan yang diberikan Ketua Menteri bahawa kerajaan telah memberikan BR1M, kempen kawalan harga barang, penurunan harga minyak, mempergiatkan industry pelancongan dan mensasarkan dapatan pelaburan RM5 bilion setahun.

Pastikan kesejahteraan rakyat tidak diabai

MELAKA: Pembangunan fizikal yang dilaksanakan kerajaan negeri perlulah mengambil kira kebajikan rakyat bagi menjamin kesejahteraan hidup mereka tidak diabaikan.

Adun Bukit Baru (PAS), Dr Md Khalid Kassim berkata demikian ketika ucapan penangguhan pada Persidangan Dun Melaka di sini, baru-baru ini. Menurut beliau, pembangunan adalah agenda utama kerajaan untuk meraih sokongan rakyat khususnya daripada penduduk bandar atau luar bandar seperti taman perumahan dan kemudahan rakyat yang lain.

"Dalam Islam kesejahteraan rohaniah yang berkaitan dengan akidah merupakan perkara yang penting bagi memastikan kesejahteraan hidup manusia di dunia dan akhirat.

"Sebaliknya pembangunan fizikal boleh mengancam sesuatu tempat apabila mengetepikan kelestariannya, saya harap kerajaan mendengar rintihan rakyat terhadap projek pembangunan yang tidak sempurna.

"Ia mengakibatkan banjir dan penyakit berjangkit seperti demam denggi, kebajikan mereka terabai sedangkan mereka telah berkorban atas nama pembangunan," ujarnya.

Beliau berkata, antara puncanya ialah longkang buta yang tidak bersambung dan terhenti separuh jalan serta parit kecil tidak dapat menampung pertambahan taman perumahan

Criminalizing Malaysia’s Opposition

Posted: 12 May 2015 10:31 PM PDT

NYT

Last Thursday, my mother was elected the new member of Malaysia's Parliament from Permatang Pauh, a seat that was wrested away from the opposition through the politically motivated conviction of my father, Anwar Ibrahim, a former deputy prime minister and the country's opposition leader. In February, the highest court in Malaysia sent him to prison for five years on trumped up charges of sodomy. He is serving his third prison sentence since 1999.

In March, I delivered a speech in Parliament focused on good governance and judicial reform on behalf of my father. The reading was deemed seditious by the government, and I was arrested and locked up overnight.

The Sedition Act, which criminalizes speech uttered "to excite disaffection" against the government, is one of this administration's favorite cudgels. Its definition is so broad that it gives the government sweeping powers to arrest and lock up critics under the guise of punishing "sedition" or in the ostensible pursuit of maintaining public order.

In the last two years, it has been used successfully to harass or prosecute scores of people, mostly government officials, including several members of Parliament. The cartoonist Zulkiflee Anwar Ulhaque, better known as Zunar, was hit with nine charges under the Sedition Act — mostly based on tweets allegedly attacking the judiciary over the verdict against my father. His artwork and cartoons were confiscated, and he is now out on bail.

In addition to harassing me and persecuting my father, the state has applied constant pressure on my mother, a state assemblywoman, in hopes that she will wilt both physically and psychologically. The police have also hinted of their plans to interrogate my younger sister, Nurul Nuha, who is leading March 2 Freedom, a coalition to free my father.

We are running out of family members for officials to arrest on bogus charges.

What's most alarming is that the government's actions are part of a much larger pattern of threats to the rule of law and human rights. In recent months, every week or so brings news of the politically motivated detention of a government critic. I am out on bail now, but my arrest is intended to silence me and to warn other would-be government critics.

The United Malays National Organization, known as UMNO, and its allies have been in power since independence in 1957. The tempo of state repression quickened two years ago after the 2013 parliamentary elections when the opposition won 51 percent of votes cast, versus 47 percent for the government.

Through gerrymandering and the creation of uneven electoral districts, the ruling coalition clung to power by holding on to 60 percent of the seats. The Electoral Integrity Project, an international organization, recently rated Malaysia as having the worst electoral-district boundaries in the world and among the worst election rules. This places Malaysia alongside countries like Zimbabwe, Angola and Egypt.

The opposition's showing at the polls two years ago was a political near-death experience for Prime Minister Najib Razak and the ruling party. It was answered with investigations, arrests and imprisonment.

Meanwhile, UMNO, whose main constituency has historically been the ethnic Malay Muslim majority, with help from its pliant coalition partners, has cynically raised the mercury on issues related to race, religion and the Malaysian royal family, so as to keep the multiethnic opposition coalition on the defensive.

Religious freedom in a country with sizable Christian, Buddhist and Hindu minorities is now endangered as public figures vying for popular support among Muslims have supported the persecution of religious minorities. Christians, who make up about 10 percent of the population, have been a prime target.

Last month, for example, in one high-profile incident, demonstrators in Petaling Jaya demanded that Christians remove a cross from the exterior of their church — and the cross was removed. And in 2013, Ibrahim Ali, a leader of Perkasa, a Malay supremacist organization, allegedly publicly endorsed the burning of Bibles.

Instead of focusing on dissenters, government officials should be doing their jobs. For one thing, Malaysia's economy needs revamping. A sizable portion of the working population in a young country of 30 million citizens still remains eligible for welfare cash handouts. We are too reliant on natural resources. The gap between the rich and poor has been growing and is now among the widest in the region. Our education system remains weak and incoherently structured, creating an unemployable class with poor career prospects.

The Pakatan Rakyat opposition coalition that my party is a part of aims to focus on structural reforms in key economic policies with the goal of creating a clean and more effective government. Reducing inequality and the cost of living, providing affordable housing, good governance and a serious fight against corruption are our priorities.

Malaysia's answer to extremism has been economic opportunity. Now that this deal is faltering, and now that the borders are porous — more than 1,000 refugees from Myanmar and Bangladesh landed on our shores on Monday — there is a risk that extremism could find a home here.

It's encouraging that Mahathir Mohamad, the country's former long-time prime minister, has recently become Prime Minister Najib's fiercest critic, attacking him as corrupt and incompetent.

But we need louder voices to condemn what's happening here. World leaders need to tell Mr. Najib and his cronies that trade and economic considerations, including the much talked about Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, will not be placed above civil and political rights. It's time for Malaysia's friends around the world to stop giving our leaders a pass on sharply declining human rights and the rule of law.

Pengawal Hospital yang melakukan mogok - SH

BUKIT PALAH - Kira-kira 150 anggota pengawal keselamatan yang bertugas di Hospital Melaka, di sini mengadakan mogok, semalam berikutan tidak puas hati dengan gaji yang didakwa tidak diuruskan dengan betul.

Mereka mendakwa, masalah itu timbul sejak dua bulan lalu apabila syarikat baharu yang beribu pejabat di Kuala Lumpur mengambil alih pengurusan.

Salah seorang anggota yang hanya mahu dikenali sebagai Angah, 36, berkata, sebahagian besar dari mereka sudah berkhidmat lama di situ.

Menurutnya, walaupun syarikat pengurusan bertukar ganti, namun sebelum ini mereka tidak pernah berdepan masalah gaji sehinggalah syarikat terbaharu mengambil alih.

"Ada di kalangan kami di sini yang bekerja sudah melebihi 15 tahun. Jika dulu, cukup masa dapat gaji tetapi kali ini syarikat baru ini betul-betul mendatangkan masalah kepada kami.

"Contohnya bulan ini, mereka janji hendak bayar sebahagian gaji kami pada 7 Mei lalu, tetapi sampai hari ini tidak ada. Gaji pokok kami dijanjikan RM900. Kalau kami hendak dibayar gaji RM1,500 kena kerja penuh sebulan 30 hari tanpa cuti rehat, selama 12 jam setiap hari," katanya.

Seorang lagi dikenali sebagai Rajah, 46, berkata, dia merayu kerajaan atau mana-mana agensi terlibat supaya campur tangan.

"Syarikat baru hanya janji cakap mulut sahaja, tiada hitam putih. Bulan pertama, memang dia bayar betul tetapi masuk bulan kedua, agaknya mereka berdepan masalah, beginilah jadinya.

Harap syarikat dapat selesaikan masalah ini. Kalau tidak dapat selesai masalah ini, kami harap pihak hospital dapat menukar kepada syarikat pengurusan lain agar nasib kami lebih terjamin," katanya ketika ditemui di kafetaria Hospital Melaka, semalam.

Najib lied about supporting Mahathir in 1987

Posted: 11 May 2015 02:09 AM PDT

FMT

Anwar Ibrahim put pressure on Najib who was playing safe by supporting Tengku Razaleigh.

Former Information Chief Zainuddin Maidin, taking issue with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's speech in Tawau on Sunday, said the latter was "lying" when he claimed that he supported then Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad during the stiff 1987 Umno presidential election.

He added that he knew what was going on as he was then heading the Editorial Department at Utusan Malaysia.

"I checked Najib's speech in Tawau with a former high-ranking Umno leader," said Zainuddin. "The fact is that it was Anwar Ibrahim who put pressure on Najib, who was playing safe, to support Mahathir. Until then, he was backing Tengku Razaleigh."

Wading into Najib's pledge in Tawau that he would not concede and quit as Prime Minister on the grounds that he still had the support of the party and the people, Zainuddin added that he did not have the support of the Indians and Chinese unlike Mahathir. "Mahathir may have faced a divided party in 1987 but the fact is that overall he had the support of the people."

"The position of the Barisan Nasional (BN) in Parliament was strong."

The same, he reiterated, cannot be said of Najib. "His meeting with the Umno divisional chiefs in Putrajaya on Monday evening would have to consider his weaknesses."

"The transformation that he has been preaching did not result in an increase in the confidence and respect of the people for his leadership. Instead, there has been an erosion of support."

Zainuddin expressed the hope that Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and Umno Youth Chief Khairy Jamaluddin, among others, would stay the course demanding that Najib account for himself. "They should not appear only brave outside but afraid inside."

He cited Mahathir, Syed Hamid Albar and Syed Jaafar Albar as examples of Malays of Indian (Mahathir) and Arab origin who have contributed more than others to the Malay cause. "We must pray for Mahathir, who is in Mecca, so that he will succeed in what he has set out to do."

Dedahkan semua urus niaga badan berkanun dengan 1MDB, kata PKR

Posted: 11 May 2015 01:13 AM PDT

TMI

PKR hari ini menuntut badan berkanun yang berurus niaga dengan 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) menyenaraikan semua urusan mereka dengan dana pelaburan strategik negara yang sarat dibebani hutang itu, susulan laporan Kumpulan Wang Amanah Persaraan (KWAP) turut membeli sebidang tanah di Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) daripada 1MDB, selepas Lembaga Tabung Haji.

Setiausaha agungnya Rafizi Ramli berkata, orang ramai perlu tahu sejauh mana wang awam terlibat dalam urusan 1MDB, dan mahu kenyataan terbuka yang termasuk pegangan bon, pemberian pinjaman, pembelian tanah dan sebarang urus niaga yang pernah dirundingkan badan berkanun itu dengan 1MDB

Berita mengenai pembelian KWAP itu timbul selepas minggu lalu, sebuah blog mendedahkan Tabung Haji membeli plot tanah di TRX dari 1MDB pada harga RM188.5 juta.

“Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak juga perlu mengarahkan supaya tanah yang diberikan kepada 1MDB dijual kembali kepada kerajaan persekutuan pada harga yang sama yang dibayar oleh 1MDB dahulu,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan hari ini.

Beliau mengutuk sekeras-kerasnya keputusan tabung pencen negara itu, mengatakan walaupun pembelian tanah itu dilaporkan pada harga yang lebih murah daripada yang dibayar Tabung Haji, ia tetap satu lagi bentuk suntikan dana bagi menyelamatkan atau "bail out" 1MDB.

Rafizi berkata, selain Tabung Haji dan KWAP, beliau percaya 1MDB juga mengadakan perbincangan dengan agensi/badan pelaburan negara lain seperti Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP), Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT) dan Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB).

“Sebarang penjualan kepada Tabung Haji, KWAP, KWSP, LTAT dan PNB perlulah dibuat terus daripada kerajaan persekutuan kepada agensi-agensi tersebut,” katanya.

Rafizi juga menggesa Najib mengarahkan agar semua perjanjian dan kontrak melibatkan penjualan hartanah oleh 1MDB kepada agensi-agensi dana rakyat tersebut dibatalkan segera secara suka sama suka (mutual termination of contract).

Beliau juga mencabar Ketua Pemuda Umno merangkap Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin, menjadi suara dalam parti itu, menuntut ketelusan tersebut.

“Sekiranya beliau tidak mendapat jawapan yang memuaskan seperti yang dikehendaki (kenyataan terbuka badan berkanun), wajarlah beliau mengambil langkah berprinsip meletakkan jawatan daripada Kabinet,” katanya.

Tabung Haji membeli tanah di TRX itu pada harga 43 kali ganda lebih tinggi daripada apa yang dibayar 1MDB ketika membelinya daripada kerajaan persekutuan tiga tahun lalu.

Manakala KWAP dilaporkan membeli tanah itu pada 30 kali harga pembelian asal.

“Keuntungan atas angin yang dikaut 1MDB ini akhirnya digunakan untuk membayar faedah-faedah bernilai ratusan juta ringgit yang terpaksa dibayar beberapa kali setahun, sedangkan dana asal yang dipinjam sebanyak RM42 bilion itu tidak diketahui ke mana perginya,” katanya.

PAS agrees to Wan Azizah being new opposition leader

Posted: 10 May 2015 11:41 PM PDT

TMI

PAS information chief Datuk Mahfuz Omar has announced today that the Islamist party has agreed that PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail should be the opposition leader in Parliament.

This comes after the party’s Pakatan Rakyat partner, DAP had backed Dr Wan Azizah for the post, a day after she won the Permatang Pauh by-election.

Mahfuz said the decision was made during a meeting, chaired by PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, last Saturday.

“The party unanimously agreed to it and the president suggested to hand the matter over to the party with the majority… And that party is DAP,” he said.”We also discussed that since DAP has stated their stand to give the post to Dr Wan Azizah, we agreed to follow Pakatan Rakyat's earlier stance to choose the PKR president to be the opposition leader," he told reporters at PAS headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.

Last Thursday, Dr Wan Azizah successfully retained the Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat after incumbent Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was disqualified as MP in February this year following the Federal Court’s decision to uphold a second sodomy conviction, which the opposition has claimed was a political conspiracy to end his career.

Last Friday, DAP’s Lim Kit Siang said his party backed Dr Wan Azizah to be the opposition leader.

“Dr Wan Azizah's solid and impressive win in Permatang Pauh paves the way for her to be re-elected as the parliamentary opposition leader,” Lim said.
