Budget Pakatan realistik atau fantasi

Belanjawan yang boleh menbankrapkan negara.Sebelum jadi pemerintah memanglah boleh buat cerita yang indah khabar dari rupa.Tunggu dan lihat saja ,adakah belanjawan ini akan menjadi realistik jika mereka memerintah nanti.

Tapi rasanya,rakyat Malaysia makin bijak menilai siapa yang selalu cakap tidak serupa bikin sekarang.Cukup lah kita lihat apa yang terjadi pada Negeri Selangor dan Pulau Pinang sekarang,yang tak habis-habis dirundum malang.Takkan lah pula, kita nak gadaikan nasib negara yang tercinta ditangan mereka yang tidak bertanggungjawab nie.Tepuk dada,tanyalah hati.Buatlah pilihan dengan akal yang waras dan logik bukan dengan hati yang panas atau membuta tuli.

Liow: No need for hudud to parallel justice system

PETALING JAYA: A country cannot have two parallel criminal justice systems dealing with the same offences as it will create a lot of uncertainty, said MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.

He said Malaysia already had a “very complete” judiciary system which administered justice.

“Non-Muslims would feel that they are not getting justice through the (hudud) system,” he told reporters after launching the 6th National Conference on Clinical Research here yesterday.

Liow gave an example of a rape case, where under hudud law, the woman would be required to get four witnesses to vouch that she had been raped.

“So they have doubt that they can get a fair deal through the (hudud) system. We are confident that the rakyat as a whole, regardless of race or religion, has confidence in the judiciary,” he said.

Liow was responding to a report by a news portal that the Universiti Malaya Centre for Democracy and Elections (UMCEDEL) had found that 42% of Chinese respondents agreed that hudud would be fair to all.

Stop harassing Suaram, says Amnesty

PETALING JAYA (Sept 26, 2012): Amnesty International has called on Malaysian authorities to end “harassment and intimidation” on Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) after the civil liberties group was investigated over foreign funding.

“The government should respect Suaram’s right as a human rights organisation to seek and receive funding, rather than abuse its power to intimidate the group,” Amnesty said in a statement.

It cited Article 13 of the 1998 UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders, that “organisations have the right to to solicit, receive and utilise resources for the express purpose of promoting and protecting human rights”.

On Sept 18, Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that Suaram and its affiliate, Suara Inisiatif Sdn Bhd, would be probed by the government.

He said the Registrar of Societies will take action against Suaram and Suara Inisiatif under the Societies Act 1966, while Bank Negara Malaysia will investigate Suaram under the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001 for anomalies related to its accounts.

“The rights to freedom of expression and to peaceful assembly and association are key human rights provided in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other internationally agreed instruments,” the Amnesty statement said.

Amnesty said this is not the first time the government has resorted to restricting the freedom of association, and clamping down on peaceful dissent.

Meanwhile, Ismail told reporters today that the Companies Commission of Malaysia has submitted a report on Suaram and Suara Inisiatif to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) for further investigation.

He however declined to reveal the details requested by the AGC. “I cannot reveal the details because it will influence initial perceptions towards the case. You have to ask the AG,” he said.
