Masing interferes in Selangor and snides PM's silence demanding sooner comment

Masing baffled why no action taken on Jais for illegal raid

Borneo Post January 6, 2014, Monday

Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr James Masing

KUCHING: A senior state minister has questioned why no action was taken against Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) officials if their raid on the Bible Society of Malaysia (BSM) and confiscation of Bibles last Thursday were both unconstitutional and illegal.

“If indeed Jais’ raid and confiscation of the Christian Bibles is unconstitutional since Jais has no authority over non-Muslim premises and illegal since they had no search warrant, why no action was taken against the officials who raided the place?

“But instead, the persons who had the right to defend their possession (the Bibles) were questioned by the police,” Land Development Minister Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr James Masing said when contacted.

He was responding to a statement by Malaysian Bar Council that the raid on BSM and the seizure of Malay and Iban language Bibles by Jais and the arrest of BSM leaders were illegal and unconstitutional.

The Malaysian Bar Council added that Jais, an Islamic enforcement agency, had no jurisdiction and powers over other religions or persons professing other faiths.

“Certainly Malaysian laws are blind to colour, creed and race. I urge the authority to act legally without fear or favour. Yang salah kamu tangkap, yang betul jangan kacau lah! (You catch those in the wrong but don’t disturb those who are right),” Masing said.

He warned that if this state of affairs continued, Malaysia would have a long way to go in becoming a fair and just society.

Meanwhile, Masing, who is also Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) president, called on Malaysians to give Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak time and space to make his move over the issue.

Although not knowing the reason behind Najib’s silence over the week, he believed that the prime minister was silent “maybe for a reason”.

“PM (Prime Minister) is silent maybe for a reason. I don’t know why he maintains his silence at the moment. Let’s give him time and space to make his stand on the issue. Hopefully, it will be sooner than later,” he said.

Patriot Gamal Abdul Nasser refused American CIA USD 3 million bribe

But the honeymoon was over by the mid-1950s, when the Americans refused Nasser’s continued requests for development assistance to Egypt, including weapons, and failed to buy him off with a briefcase of $3 million cash. Rebuffed by Washington, offended by the attempted bribe, and unwilling to enter a British-backed, anti-Soviet regional security pact, Nasser threw his lot in with the Non-Aligned Movement and then secured arms from Moscow through Czechoslovakia. In 1956, he nationalized the Suez Canal, which sparked the joint British-French-Israeli invasion, which was only defused through American pressure. Nasser turned military defeat into political victory and catapulted to postcolonial hero status in the Arab world. (from the scholarly work "America's great game" by hugh wilford) 


Eventually Israeli MOSSAD assasinated Gamal Abdel Nasser by poisoning.  Nasser has been fighting Israel from the beginning.  Upon replacing the poisoned Nasser as President, Anwar Sadat begun to stop fighting Israel and eventually signed a ceasfire treaty.

An insult to Johor Sultan?

PETALING JAYA (Dec 29, 2013): Is returning awards without being asked to tantamount to contempt of honour and an insult to a ruler?

This was the question asked when former Johor Corporation (JCorp) president and CEO Tan Sri Muhammad Ali Hashim (pix) returned three state awards to the Johor palace last week.

Muhammad Ali, who is Malaysian Islamic Chamber of Commerce president, returned the Setia Mahkota Johor, Darjah Datuk Paduka Mahkota Johor (DPMJ) and Darjah Datuk Seri Paduka Mahkota Johor (SPMJ) on Friday.

The DPMJ and SPMJ, which carry the title Datuk, were conferred on him by the late Sultan Iskandar Sultan Ismail in 1984 and 1996 respectively.

"The bestowal of honours is the sole privilege of the sultan … if the sultan recalls the awards through the Council Secretary for whatever reason, they (the titles) have to be returned," said former information, communication and culture minister Tan Sri Dr Rais Yatim.

Rais, who is adviser to the government on social and cultural affairs, said returning an award when it has not been revoked or recalled, can be construed as an act of overt disrespect and interpreted as an insult to the ruler.

Meanwhile, constitutional law expert Prof Dr Shad Saleem Faruqi said while it would indeed be regarded as "impolite and disrespectful", it is not an offence under the law.

He said the act of returning an honour "is best evaluated under customs and not under the law".

"The formal law is silent on the matter. There is no offence in the Penal Code for such conduct," he replied in an email when asked to comment on the issue.

"In customary practice, a person – both in Malaysia and in the United Kingdom – can decline a royal honour.

However, to return it after receiving it would indeed be regarded as impolite and disrespectful under traditional norms.

Shad Faruqi stressed however that customary norms are not enforceable in criminal courts, and "Les Majeste" – treason committed against a sovereign power – is not an offence in Malaysia, although sedition is.

In a statement on Saturday, Muhammad Ali said the decision to return the awards came after he had written a letter to Johor Royal Council Secretary Datuk Abdul Rahim Ramli on Dec 18 to offer an explanation on his article "Menuntut Hak, Menebus Masa Silam", published in Sinar Harian on Dec 2.

Abdul Rahim had said the article's contents could create a negative perception of the Johor royal institution and the Johor ruler, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar.
Muhammad Ali said he had no ulterior motive or intention to portray a negative image of Sultan Ibrahim in the article.

"My services and commitments as the president and CEO of JCorp for 28 years is a reflection of my utmost loyalty, sincerity and respect to Johor and the state monarchy,'' he said.

Abdul Rahim could not be reached for comment at press time.

Tan Sri Muhammad Ali Hashim mengenai Sultan nya?

“Naungan khalifah, sultan dan imam”
diterbitkan pada Isnin 25 November lalu,

 saya dan isteri telah pun kehilangan Khaled bin Muhammad Ali, anak bongsu kami. Beliau kembali ke rahmatullah sebelum subuh 23 November, pada umur 20 tahun. Innalillahi wainna ialaihi rajiuun. Doa saya, ibunya, kakak dan abang-abangnya serta seluruh keluarga: Semoga kematian Khaled diampuni ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Taala. Semoga roh Khaled diletakkan dalam kalangan orang soleh, siddiqin dan syuhada, amiin ya Rabbul alamin. Buat Khaled: Sebanyak mana sekali pun air mata mengalir, ia tidak akan selama-lamanya mengeringkan, malah tidak setitis pun mengurangkan lautan sedih dan pilu serta cinta rindu kasih sayang di lubuk kalbu ayah dan mama. Juga, jelas terbukti, kasih sayang dan keprihatinan yang ayah dan mama berikan rupa-rupanya tidak dapat mengisi semua kekosongan dan tidak sampai kepada apa yang Khaled berhak mendapatkan. Semoga ALLAH SWT mengampuni ayah dan mama atas segala kelemahan, kekurangan, kealpaan, ketidakpekaan dan ketidakprihatinan. Tiada kata yang dapat saya lafazkan untuk menzahirkan rasa hati, bukan sahaja bagi pihak diri saya sebagai ayah, juga bagi pihak semua yang mengasihi dan mengenali beliau. Biarlah Khaled sendiri yang melahirkan rasa hatinya menerusi kolum Khalifah Bisnes kali ini. Justeru, berikut saya paparkan sajak beliau tanpa disentuh atau diperbetul sekalipun terdapat kesilapan ejaan dan istilah. Sajak ini terletak paling atas daripada sepuluh sajak beliau tulis yang saya dapati daripada laptop beliau. Beliau tidak berikan sebarang tajuk kepada sajak ke sepuluhnya ini, seolah-olah penulisannya belum lagi berakhir dan menanti diteruskan. Jika saya diizinkan memilih tajuk untuknya, mungkin paling sesuai ialah petikan daripada salah satu ungkapan di dalamnya: “Menuntut hak dan menebus masa silam”

 ....this heart aches at your very thought, it grows heavier as my memories taunt me, I can hold back these tears no longer, many years have passed and I am now a man, yet I still yearn for you, and that old house on the hill. rindu dalam hatiku seperti ombak yang memukul pantai, tidak akan henti sehingga akhir zaman, sehingga daku dapat kembali ke tanah asal, jiwaku akan bergelora ingin kembali, walaupun ke tujuh lautan ku merantau, Tanjung Puteri tetap akan di kalbu. you are the eternal jewel of the south, the cradle of our civilisation, the custodian of our people, a sanctuary of hope, an abode of dignity, they basked in the light of your imperial glory, and trembled at the might of your warriors. hari berganti hari tahun berganti tahun, namun malamku masih menjadi medan air mata, jangan berani kau persoal cintaku, takkan dapat kau bayang rinduku, anggaplah pantun ini sebagai janji, akan datang suatu masa yang akan ku kembali, menuntut hak dan menebus masa silam. their blood coarses through my veins, their prayers guide my heart, this bloodline is an oath of duty, a life of service, sultan yang adil adalah sultan yang wajar disembah, sultan yang zalim adalah sultan yang wajib disanggah...

Sarawak cermat urus kewangan

Catat lebihan pendapatan beberapa tahun, rizab negeri berjumlah RM22 bilion pada 2012

KUCHING: Sarawak mencatat rekod prestasi kewangan positif yang amat kukuh, dibuktikan dengan lebihan pendapatan untuk beberapa tahun berturut-turut sehingga menghasilkan tahap rizab negeri berjumlah RM22 bilion pada 2012.

Ketua Menteri Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud berkata pencapaian membanggakan itu adalah hasil pendekatan cermat dalam pengurusan fiskal negeri selain unjuran belanjawan konservatif serta kawalan ketat terhadap perbelanjaan mengurus diambil kerajaan negeri.

“Menurut Laporan Ketua Audit Negara 2011, hasil kerajaan negeri telah meningkat kepada RM6.63 bilion iaitu peningkatan sebanyak RM1.02 bilion atau 18.2 peratus berbanding RM5.61 bilion pada 2010.

“Kita juga mencatatkan lebihan pendapatan berbanding perbelanjaan sebanyak RM2.6 bilion pada 2011 berbanding RM2.22 bilion pada 2010,” katanya ketika menyampaikan ucaptama pada Majlis Sambutan Hari Audit 1Malaysia dan Persidangan Juruaudit Sektor Awam 2013 di sini semalam.

Beliau menambah, kejayaan Sarawak mengekalkan prestasi kewangan yang cemerlang sejak 2004 melayakkan negeri ini mendapat pengiktirafan daripada Credit Rating Agency daripada BAA1 kepada A3 pada 2011 oleh Moody’s Investor Service.

Kejayaan itu juga katanya, menyaksikan Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak dianugerahi Sijil Bersih oleh Ketua Audit Negara selama 10 tahun berturut-turut bermula 2002 hingga 2011.

“Bagi Kerajaan Negeri Sarawak, peranan dimainkan oleh Jabatan Audit Negara (JAN) dalam menentukan akauntibiliti awam amat difahami dan telah banyak memberi manfaat bukan sahaja memantapkan pengurusan wang awam tetapi dalam pelaksanaan projek-projek pembangunan.

“Pada masa sama, kerajaan negeri mengambil sikap proaktif dan positif untuk terus meningkatkan akauntibiliti awam dan segala penemuan, teguran serta pemerhatian audit diberi perhatian untuk penambahbaikan pengurusan kewangan, juga akauntibiliti awam,” ujarnya.

Justeru beliau mengingatkan semua ketua jabatan, kementerian dan agensi kerajaan negeri mahupun persekutuan agar sentiasa mematuhi perundangan dan peraturan ketika melaksanakan tanggungjawab supaya imej sektor awam dan kerajaan selalu dijaga.

Selain itu katanya, perhatian yang serius harus diberikan kepada semua teguran dan penemuan oleh JAN, disusuli tindakan penambahbaikan dari segi amalan dan tindakan positif sekiranya perlu.

Tindakan penambahbaikan hasil daripada teguran katanya, perlu diambil terutama bagi kes-kes yang memerlukan persepsi awam mengenai sektor awam dan kerajaan, dapat ditambah baik.

“Saya berpendapat peranan dimainkan oleh JAN amat penting sebagai mekanisme ‘check and balance’ bagi menjamin akauntibiliti awam.

“Oleh itu ketua jabatan, kementerian dan agensi hendaklah mengambil iktibar dan belajar daripada setiap audit dila-kukan bagi mengelak kelemahan sama berulang,” katanya.

Taib juga mahu hubungan baik dan jalinan profesional antara sektor awam negeri Sarawak dengan JAN dikekal dan dipertingkatkan agar jabatan itu dapat menjadi agensi penting memastikan pelaksanaan pembangunan negeri Sarawak menerusi maklum balas berguna.

Sarawak katanya menghadapi cabaran dan kesukaran kompleks dalam memberi perkhidmatan terbaik kepada rakyat.

Menurutnya, faktor geografi negeri ini menyukarkan akses ke kawasan pedalaman, ditambah keadaan bumi yang luas, 124,449.51 kilometer persegi dan kedudukan penduduk bertaburan menyebabkan masih ada kawasan di pedalaman tidak mempunyai kemudahan jalan raya, bekalan air bersih dan elektrik.

Namun katanya ia bukan ha-langan kerana kerajaan negeri sentiasa menjaga kepentingan rakyat supaya tidak ada golongan yang terpinggir daripada arus pembangunan utama.

Sehubungan itu, pada 1995 kerajaan negeri menubuhkan Unit Audit Dalaman di bawah Jabatan Ketua Menteri untuk mempertingkatkan lagi ke-cekapan, akauntibiliti dan ketelusan operasinya.

Unit itu jelasnya mula beroperasi pada Januari 1996 yang bertanggungjawab memeriksa 11 kementerian, 27 jabatan, 29 badan berkanun negeri dan 25 pihak berkuasa tempatan.

“Usaha ini diambil oleh kerajaan negeri untuk terus memantapkan amalan tadbir urus dan pengurusan kewangan berkesan kerana usaha transformasi pengurusan kewangan adalah usaha berterusan,” jelasnya.
