Jadikan Mesir sebagai iktibar untuk Malaysia

Presiden Mesir Dr Mohamed Morsi disifatkan sebagai satu pengajaran kepada masyarakat dan kerajaan Malaysia, kata Menteri Pertahanan Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.

Beliau berkata detik hitam itu tercetus daripada sentimen kebencian dan perpecahan yang dibawa oleh kumpulan tertentu yang hanya mahu semata-mata untuk mengubah kepimpinan negara.

Katanya perubahan itulah telah menyebabkan ketegangan berlarutan sehingga ekonomi merundum dan rakyat terbunuh.

"Saya bersyukur kerana kerana atas kebijaksaan dan kepimpinan kita, serta kewarasan masyarakat dari pelbagai kaum dan agama di negara ini, kita tidak berdepan masalah seperti di Mesir," katanya pada sidang media di lobi Parlimen di sini, hari ini.

Hishammuddin berkata demikian ketika diminta mengulas mengenai rampasan kuasa oleh tentera Mesir terhadap presidennya semalam.

Jangan benarkan anasir luar dan jahat cuba menganggu gugat negara kita yang tercinta.Untuk mendapat kemerdekaan bukan mudah, tapi untuk menghancurkan hanya boleh berlaku sekelip mata sahaja.Sama-sama kita kekal keamanan yang ada.

Tubuh Suruhanjaya Diraja siasat Red Bean Army

Gabungan badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) Islam-Melayu sekali lagi mendesak kerajaan supaya menyegerakan penubuhan Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja mengenai Red Bean Army bagi mengenal pasti pihak yang bertanggungjawab terhadap usaha menjatuhkan kerajaan.
   
Ketua Sekretariat Publisitinya Dzulkarnian Taib berkata tindakan Penasihat DAP Lim Kit Siang yang membantah penubuhan suruhanjaya itu hanya menguatkan lagi persepsi rakyat bahawa parti pembangkang itu sememangnya mempunyai kaitan dengan pasukan tentera siber itu.
   
Red Bean Army merujuk kepada kumpulan tentera siber yang memanipulasi fakta sarat dengan fitnah terhadap kerajaan.
   
Dzulkarnain berkata NGO itu melihat gerakan anti-nasional yang dijalankanoleh kumpulan Red Bean Army sejak beberapa tahun sebelum pilihan raya umum ke-13 telah mencapai tahap yang mengancam keselamatan negara serta menggugat kestabilan politik.
   
"Adakah cadangan siasatan terhadap kaitan DAP dengan Red Bean Army sebenarnya telah menyentuh perasaan parti itu sehingga meminta Perdana Menteri campur tangan untuk menghalang cadangan kami diterima pihak kerajaan?," katanya.
   
Beliau berkata DAP seharusnya menyokong sebarang usaha daripada NGO yang mahu melihat keamanan, perpaduan dan kemakmuran negara dikekalkan serta diperkukuhkan.  - Bernama

EC to use better ink in Kuala Besut

IMPROVEMENTS: Commission to address shortfalls over use of indelible ink during GE13

 ALOR STAR: A BETTER indelible ink would be used during the Kuala Besut by-election  in Terengganu, said Election Commission (EC) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof.

He said improvements would be made after identifying the ink's weaknesses during the recent 13th General Election.

"The GE13 was the first time we used indelible ink and there were some weaknesses.

"Among them was that the ink was easy to remove, slow to dry and could stain the ballot papers.

"The EC will get a better indelible ink for the Kuala Besut by-election, expected to be held this month, or any future election," Aziz said after attending an appreciation dinner for election workers here on Wednesday.

He said despite criticisms from the opposition, EC would continue to use indelible ink as it was stated in the election regulations.

"The use of indelible ink is stipulated in the election regulations. It is a must for EC to mark voters before they could cast their votes."

When asked if the ink to be used in the Kuala Besut would be the same colour as the one used during the GE13, Aziz declined to comment.

"This is to avoid any group from replicating the ink and using it to mar the by-election."

Communication and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek said he would discuss with EC to allow RTM to cover the by-election process, including placing its cameras in the vote-counting room.

"If there is a so-called 'blackout' during the vote-counting process, the people will be able to view it live," he said after opening a media seminar on the 13th General Election in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

The Kuala Besut state seat is vacant following the death of its assemblyman Dr A. Rahman Mokhtar on June 26.

Malaysians fighting in Syria war

MERCENARIES': Malaysians hired by terrorist groups, says Syrian nun

PETALING JAYA: A  SYRIAN abbess yesterday came out with a shocking claim that a number of Malaysians have been employed as mercenaries by terrorist groups in her country's  civil war.

In revealing what had transpired in the war between armed opposition and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government, Mother Superior Agnès-Mariam de la Croix said Malaysians were among thousands of foreign mercenaries indoctrinated to take up arms in a holy war.

The peace activist told the New Straits Times that she had been informed the guerillas were recruited in January last year from some 80 countries, including Libya, Tunisia, Turkey, Pakistan, Australia and Yemen.

Mother Agnès-Mariam was here yesterday to talk at a conference focusing on the Syrian civil war, in an event jointly organised by non-governmental organisation International Movement of a Just World and Institute of Strategic and International Studies.

"I bet that they did not even know that they were in Syria.

"These mercenaries have been brainwashed into believing that they are on the path of jihad, but I know that jihad does not involve spilling the blood of innocents.

"And now they are part of terrorist groups wreaking chaos in Syria," said the Catholic nun of Greek descent.

She claimed the recruits were flown to several countries for armed training before heading to Syria.

The terrorist groups used their international network to bring the recruits to Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon where they were trained and brought to Syria only when they were deemed battle-ready, she said.

On Malaysia, Mother Agnès-Mariam said the nation could learn from the conflict by avoiding violence and extremism from creeping into the people's minds.

She lauded the government for promoting unity among the people of various races.

She said Malaysia could testify to the world on the fact that nothing could be built out of hatred and discrimination.

"Malaysians have a great tradition of tolerance, openness and conviviality.

"You are (living in) a pluralistic society and you have planned to live together in peace and harmony."

Harap Malaysia ambil iktibar apa yang terjadi di luar sana dan janganlah ada rakyat Malaysia yang cuna nak mengeruhkan lagi keadaan di Syria yang senang bergolak itu...

Provide DAP delegate list

DISCLOSURE: Former branch chief urges two leaders to name people in CEC elections

BUTTERWORTH: FORMER Jalan Bagan Luar DAP branch chief G. Asoghan has challenged  DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and the party's national organising secretary, Anthony Loke, to furnish two lists of delegates involved in the controversial central executive committee (CEC) elections in Penang last December.

The first, he said, was for all the 2,576 delegates eligible to vote, and the second, those who had actually attended the elections.

"Why are they taking so long to reveal the lists? If there is nothing wrong with the delegates' attendance, then why is it so difficult for them to reveal it?" he asked.

He said the party should prove its transparency by forwarding the list of names to DAP leaders Datuk Teng Chang Kim, Boo Cheng Chai, Chow Kon Yeow, Ngeh Koo Ham and Nga Kor Ming, as well as to the public.

Asoghan also demanded that the party explain the alleged presence of 547 illegal delegates.

"We also want to know if it was true that there were 547 illegal delegates from Penang who had attended and had cast their votes during the CEC elections, and there were 1,300 eligible delegates who were not notified to attend the party CEC election."

Asoghan also called on Lim and Loke to respond to claims that the actual number of DAP delegates not notified of the CEC elections was 1,300 and not 753 as reported earlier.

"Lim and Loke must prove DAP's transparency by revealing the list of names of the 1,823 delegates who had attended and also the list of names of the 753 people who were not notified to attend the election," Asoghan said during

Asoghan said many grassroots members were anxious to know the truth behind the allegations of manipulation during the CEC election.

It was reported earlier that the Registrar of Society (RoS) did not recognise the party CEC's results, following complaints lodged by party members unhappy with irregularities found in the party's election results the party attributed to a "technical" glitch.

The glitch had caused party activist Vincent Wu to be moved to the 26th spot from his original sixth position, giving way to Lim's political secretary Zairil Khir Johari, who was originally in the 39th position, to move up to the 20th spot in the CEC election at the party's national congress in Penang on Dec 15 last year.

The party was also lambasted when 753 Indian members claimed that they were not notified of the CEC elections despite being eligible delegates.

Apa lagi DAP,telus lah,kalau SPR bukan main lagi kau berkokok ek,bila kena batang hidung sendiri,jawablah..

MBSA pays dues to avoid seal -off

SHAH ALAM: An attempt to seal the Shah Alam City Council's (MBSA) headquarters here was called off yesterday after it paid a portion of its dues at the last minute.
Lawyer Jeremy Khalif Lee, who declined to disclose the sum paid to his client, managing director of Menara Biru Sdn Bhd, said the court bailiff was scheduled to seal the headquarters at noon yesterday. He said MBSA still owed a sum in damages.
The company was earlier contracted to revive an abandoned housing project for the council officers. In 2009, the High Court ruled in favour of Menara Biru while ordering the council to pay the company a sum in costs and damages. The case was later reprised in the Court of Appeal. However, when MBSA did not make any payment, Menara Biru applied for a writ of seizure and sale in March.
The company's managing director, Fadzilah Abdul Hamid, said he was disappointed with the outcome.
"I was hoping for a seal. The cost of the project that was completed in 2002 was initially about RM4 million.
"I was paid RM1.5 million in stages, but I have been waiting for the rest of the money since I first engaged the arbitrators," he said, adding that the costs he incurred had also increased over the period.

MBSA pulak kisahnya,yang PKNS pun rasanya tak selesai lagi..Pak Menteri silalah jawab.

PKNS to proceed with luxury condo project despite objections

The Datum Jelatek luxury condominium project by the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) will proceed despite objections from a group of original residents.

Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, in answering a question from Shuhaimi Shafiei (PKR-Sri Muda), at the Selangor state assembly yesterday, said the tender for the project had been awarded and compensation had been paid to the original residents.

"There are 14 original owners who are still against the project but the court has allowed the takeover of the original site.

"However, I think they will end up asking for the same compensation given to the original owners who did not bring the case to court."

PKNS offered between RM250,000 and RM300,000 in compensation to flat owners and between RM450,000 and RM500,000 to shoplot owners of Taman Keramat flats to make way for the RM1.2 billion development near Embassy Row in Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.

He denied allegations that the mixed high-rise development project would open room for excessive foreign ownership in the area.

He said PKNS would not sell less than 50 per cent of the 337 condominium units to Bumiputeras, adding that this quota was higher than the 30 per cent quota for Bumiputeras set by the Federal Government for property developers in Kuala Lumpur.

"We have received 1,029 applications from Bumiputera buyers."

Mana janji nak buat rumah mampu milik??kalau rumah mahal-mahal mana rakyat marhaen mampu beli Datuk Khalid oii...
